Lara Croft, one of video game's most iconic heroines and adventurer, is back in an all-new tale by developer Crystal Dynamics, titled Tomb Raider. This game visits a period of the franchise previous unexplored - specifically, Lara's days before she became a hard bitten treasure hunter and "tomb raider".
Tomb Raider details the trials she endures which created the strong, rugged adult she is more popularly known as. The beginning moments of the game immediately catapult Lara into the maw of danger; she finds herself marooned on an unfamiliar island, where she must now use whatever survival skills she picks up along the way to make it out alive.
Tomb Raider was released for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 on March 5, 2013. A remake titled Tomb Raider:Definitive Edition will be released on January 28, 2014. It features updated graphics and the full suite of Tomb Raider DLC.

RGBG - Pedalling from Seattle to San Francisco for Affordable Green Housing
We have seen one or two examples of affordable sustainable housing, for example this apartment block in London or this $200,000 Oklahoma zero energy house, but overall environmentally sustainable architecture is still seen as somewhat of an elitist movement. However, all that must change if sustainability is to go mainstream – after all, niche sustainability is basically an oxymoron. It's good then, that a movement is building to push truly green architecture for all income groups. From Brad Pitt's efforts to rebuild New Orleans to the AIA's highlighting of cutting-edge affordable homes, every new initiative and campaign brings us a step closer to green architecture as the norm, rather than the exception.
West Coast TreeHuggers can do their part for green affordable housing this summer by taking part in RGBG – or Ride Green, Build Green, a month-long awareness building and fund raising bicycle trip from Seattle to San Francisco. Details are sketchy at the present time, but the ride takes place from the 25th of July to the 25th of August, and those wishing to take part should check out this website or contact email@example.com. ::RGBG::via tipster Corey Heller, with thanks::

10th - 17th January 2019
Just south of the Arctic circle lies a magical island - the land of fire and ice, the ever mesmerizing Iceland.
Iceland in winter is a very different place to Iceland in summer. Sub-zero temperatures, bone-chilling winds and harsh conditions are prevalent, but the photographic rewards are accordingly immense. From ice fields as far as the eye can see, through glaciers and blue ice caves to the mind boggling northern lights, winter is THE season for photography in Iceland, for those who dare.
Join professional nature photographers Erez Marom and Arnar Bergur Guðjónsson for the photographic journey of a lifetime. This workshop is scheduled right after the 'Land of Ice' workshop, to make it comfortable for participants who wish to register to both workshops back to back, receive a discounted price and reduce flight costs.
In this part of the journey, we'll head to the wilder, less-visited western and northern parts of Iceland, where weather is more stable, chances of witnessing the Aurora are higher, killer whales and seals roam the waters hunting herring and towering mountains join frozen blue waterfalls to make some of Iceland's most amazing scenery. Naturally, no Iceland workshop is complete without a super-jeep ride, so we'll take a monster-truck tour into the frozen highlands, to visit some incredible waterfalls and locations unreachable otherwise.
We will meet at the lobby of our centrally-located hotel at 19:30 and head out for a meet and greet over a heart-warming Icelandic dinner in a restaurant right by the hotel. During dinner, we will get acquainted with the guides and participants, and discuss the plans for the days ahead.
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll head north early to arrive at Kirkjufell (the famous Pyramid Mountain) for a sunrise shoot. In this season, chances are the mountain will be beautifully covered with snow.
We'll spend the day traveling the peninsula, shooting at several locations before settling in our nice hotel in the town of Grundarfjörður. At night, if conditions are favorable, we'll attempt to shoot the northern lights at one of several locations near town.
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll spend the day shooting at other interesting locations in Snæfellsnes, such as the black church of Búðir and the natural arch in Arnarstapi.
We'll get up early to take a ride to the Dinosaur Rock, a courious, dinosaur (or yak, depends on who you ask!) shaped rock formation, to shoot the sunrise. After spending time discovering the area, we'll head east, shooting the beautiful basalt columns of Kálfshammarsvík, and later arrive at our hotel at dark, where a beautiful, filling dinner will await.
After a big breakfast at our hotel, we'll head a short way back west and visit the frozen waterfall of Goðafoss. With its horseshoe shape, crystal-blue water and sheer size and beauty, this waterfall is one of the most impressive in Iceland, especially during winter time. For sunset we'll head out to lake Mývatn. Under good weather, this lake can be truly magical.
First thing in the morning, we'll hop on Monster trucks and take a wild ride into the central highlands. While we'll visit several snowy locations, the pinnacle will be Aldeyjarfoss. This location is hard to access during winter, hence the need for super jeeps, but the photographic reward is a wonderful ice-covered waterfall with an amazing, circular, crystal clear blue pool at its feet, surrounded by hexagonal basalt columns. In other seasons, the water and the pool are brown, but we'll reap the rewards for coming at the right time.
Anothre magical waterfall we will see is Hrafnabjargafoss. Surrounded by snow and full of icy columns, this waterfall is pure magic.
During our stay in Mývatn we'll also take a short ride to one of the most curious locations in the area: the geothermal vents. Protruding from a sheet of snow, colorful vents spout never-ending steam clouds, rising high into the sky and serving as a perfect foreground. Other features in the area include frozen lagoons, mini-craters and more.
We'll shoot another sunrise in the wonderful Godafoss. After concluding the shoot around noon, we'll take the bus back to Reykjavik.
We'll have a last dinner together, to conclude the workshop and share contacts and images.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will say our goodbyes and depart to Keflavik airport for your flight home.
Total Price: €4190 per person in double room for participants registering by February 28th, 2018;
€4290 for participants registering between March 1st, 2018 and July 31st, 2018;

Single room supplement: €1150
Deposit: €1990
Maximum Number of Participants: 13
Physical Difficulty: Mostly Beginner. There will be no difficult climbing, but on occasion there might be a short hike (up to 30 minutes) to get to a location.
Winter conditions in northern Iceland can be harsh, and you must be prepared to withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees centigrade in addition to strong winds.
Born in 1980, Erez Marom is a full-time nature photographer, photography guide, writer and traveler-adventurer based in Israel. Specializing in landscape and wildlife photography, Erez spends much of his time in the field shooting his favorite locations in Israel and overseas.
In addition, Erez publishes articles and instructional texts in leading magazines and websites, and dedicates a considerable amount of his time to sharing his experience and knowledge by lecturing worldwide and traveling several times a year to guide his unique photography workshops.
Arnar Guðjónsson is an Icelandic photographer, born 1979 and raised in the Westfjords of Iceland. He is a passionate landscape photographer and a outdoor enthusiast, who knows nothing better then staying out on cold winternights and photographing the northern lights.
Arnar has been also performing exceptionally well in photography competitions in Iceland and overseas and for now he is an grand prize winner of the Arctic Biodiversity "through the lens" competition, where he also got the Runner-up for the landscape category.
Arnar has held one private exhibition and have been in several collective exhibition aswell. He is the father of two children and is a nature fanatic who loves to help others capture the beauty of Iceland.

I reserve the right to increase the price of the workshop if costs rise due to unexpected changes in fees, taxes or exchange rates.
Though very improbable, workshop dates might shift a few days here or there, up to 6 months prior to start date. Please contact me if you have schedule limitations.
The tour plan above is subject to change. Weather in Iceland can be extremely unpredictable, and so in case of harsh weather, we may have to divert from our plan and do something else. There's always something to do though, wherever we are.
Important: In order to join the workshop, you will be required to sign a contract that establishes that the tour leaders are not responsible to physical or proprietary damages, and that you understand and accept several behavioral standards (including not taking excessive risk), necessary to ensure the workshop's success and your safe return.
Aurora is, of course, not guaranteed. We do, however, have the best possible conditions to see it in the north.
*Multiple discounts may or may not apply, please consult me.

St Wilfrid's, Calverley have just celebrated their first Messy Church baptism.
The idea came from Sarah Cohen, one of their Messy Church team. She says, "The family of Ewan, who was to be baptised, come regularly to Messy Church, so we thought it would be good to have his baptism as part of Saturday Messy Church.
"Guests were invited to do craft activities, including making a 'baptingle' (right) - which was the idea of 10 year old Amelia."
The Revd Phil Arnold (below) says, "Some people see Messy Church as a way into church. We look at it as the main service for a lot of the families who come regularly and enjoy the opportunity to worship and have fun as a family.
"The logical extension of this is to offer baptism at Saturday Messy Church as well as on a Sunday morning and afternoon.
"It was great fun (over 100 people came to see Ewan baptised), and another way of worshipping in a way that resonates with people today."

Paco Peralta – Old-School Elegance and Precision
After a brief, two-week hiatus involving Easter and lots of chocolate, what better way to return than to spend some time with a very talented person, Paco Peralta. Easy-going yet animated, with firm convictions and bucket-loads of anecdotes, Sir Peralta is an entertaining conversationalist. I spent the morning in his small workshop, which is located in his apartment, and the time just flew by as the rain fell softly outside the windows.
Paco Peralta emanates calm and charm, two qualities that are evident in his work. He defines himself as a dressmaker, a tailor of old-school elegance. What is recognised here in Spain as a modisto. He has a gathering of fans and clients, faithful to his precise work. I was able to quiz him and find out some crucial details.
Born in Huesca, Paco Peralta moved to Barcelona when he was around the age of 24. He soon enrolled at the Institut Catala de la Moda, where he studied pattern and fashion design. Having been passionately attracted to drawing from a very early age, Paco quickly became bored with the learning process and was itching to get started on his own. Before the course was completed, he set up shop and became a freelance pattern-cutter. He gradually worked his way to creating made-to-measure clothes, mostly by trial and error.
This is where Paco Peralta's talent is overwhelming. Much of his knowledge springs directly from pure logic. Careful calculations made in advance means that he manages to avoid situations where he has to apply a hasty solution to a garment. With mathematical precision, each garment is run through the haute couture system: draw and cut the pattern, the confection of a "toile", and personal fittings. He has managed to simplify this system to achieve his personal best. When a garment resists and the process comes to a standstill, Paco refuses to keep tweaking. The process must flow.
Peralta has created garments commissioned for advertising in the past, and even went to London in 1995 to help out his cousin, Lionel Peralta, who at the time was studying at Central Saint Martins. He helped to sew Lionel's final collection before graduation and it was in that precise year that Stella McCartney was also finishing. There is even a photo of Lionel and Stella together in class!
Peralta is inspired by Paco Rabanne or Geoffrey Beene, those space-age, futuristic elements and boxy lines. Clean, simple silhouettes are evident in all of his pieces; each and every detail is exquisite, from linings to hems, buttons to trimmings. Each garment is understated elegance, accompanied by that perfect weightiness that is only present in extremely well-made clothes. Curiously enough, he is fascinated by original Yves Saint Laurent, to the point where he is painstakingly collecting any patterns that he can get his hands on.
More than willing to share the secrets of his talents, Paco offers his patterns for sale on Etsy. While others jealously guard their tricks up their sleeve, this Spanish tailor gives the best of himself for others to enjoy. He says that he is in a strange profession and there are many different styles of approaching work. No one method is right or wrong. In his case, Paco is very visual and doesn't like to leave things to chance. Yet at the same time, he is not a control-freak.
One of his pet peeves are trends that are presented as something new when said trends are just reworked versions of styles from the past. Although it's difficult, Paco does believe that it is possible to create new styles and trends. Items that awaken a curiosity in him to find out how they have been put together. He cites Hussein Chalayan as a great master of innovative talent.
The rain continues to fall and it is now time for lunch. I leave. I feel full and satisfied. Paco Peralta is an astonishing character and I wish him all the best in his work.

Hilary & Haylie Duff Help the Homeless!
Hilary Duff and her big sister Haylie smile wide at the Los Angeles Mission's 75th annual end of the summer block party on Saturday (August 27) in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old pregnant actress and her older sis attended the charity event with the Los Angeles Mission to help aid the homeless living on the streets.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Hilary Duff
"Excited to head downtown to the la mission event today with @HaylieK such a great cause! We will be handing out backpacks w/ school supplies!" Hil tweeted before the event.
Later that day, Haylie and Hil, who shed her red Los Angeles Mission apron for a sheer top, went shopping together!
10+ pictures inside of Hilary and Haylie Duff at the Los Angeles Mission event and shopping together…

A few months back, I asked folks on Twitter and LinkedIn for recommendations for a desktop amplifier for a pair of bookshelf speakers. I ended up with a Topping VX1, one of the many "Class-T" digital amps lauded by audiophiles for their excellent sound reproduction. Boy am I impressed! It's rare that such an inexpensive gadget (around $100!) delivers so much performance!
Review: TP-LINK TL-SG2424 Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch for Home or Office
There comes a time when a cheapie Ethernet switch just won't cut it. That's where the TP-LINK TL-SG2424 really shines, bringing the features you need at a price you can afford.
A Watch Guy's Review of the Apple Watch
Is the Apple Watch a personal communication revolution like the iPhone, a well-executed gadget like the Apple TV, or a total miss? Does it mark the end of the the world as we know it for watches? And what's it like to use one? I'm a watch guy and a gadget guy, so perhaps my perspective will be of some value.
Canon Vixia HF M50: Hands-On Review
Although I love my Sony NEX-7, it's not ideal for the sort of videos I've been recording for Foskett Services. So I recently picked up a pair of decent HD camcorders to add to my road video kit. The Canon Vixia HF M50 was ideal for my needs: A good sensor and optics in a compact and affordable package. But the extras, especially the built-in WiFi, offer little value.
Review: 2013 Ford Flex
The 2013 Ford Flex exceeded my expectations in every driving and utility-related area, but the terrible MyFord Touch system really detracts from the vehicle. I would highly recommend buying a Ford Flex if you've got a family of 5 or 6, but try to get one with old fashioned buttons and dials!
Connect Your AppleTV to Any VGA Projector or Monitor with the Kanex ATV Pro
I love my Apple TV, but hate that it's HDMI-only. That's why I'm so enthusiastic about the Kanex ATV PRO, a self-contained HDMI-to-VGA converter that does it all, connecting any modern HDMI video source to VGA!
Hands-On Review: Unicomp Spacesaver M Keyboard for Mac
I would not hesitate to recommend the Unicomp Spacesaver M to Macintosh users used to an original IBM Model M, and I am admittedly a tough customer. I wish that Unicomp would update their website, packaging, logo, and keyboard graphics, but none of this really matters as your fingers press the keys. If any keyboard is worth $100, it is the Unicomp Spacesaver M!
Sony 55-210 OSS Tele-Zoom Lens: Hands-On Review
Although certainly not the fastest lens (optically or workflow-wise) the SEL55210 is a screaming bargain at $399. The lens is light and compact enough to bring along "just in caseâ€, something that can't be said of many, SLR tele-zoom lenses. Once it finally focuses, image quality is excellent and the built-in Optical SteadyShot makes it usable even in low light conditions.
Review: Das Keyboard Model S for Mac (and Why I'm Sending It Back)
Make no mistake, the Das Keyboard Model S for Mac is a whole class better than the plastic junk most people use, and the snappy Cherry MX blue key switches are more rewarding than any scissor or membrane keyboard out there, but this is no IBM Model M, so buckling spring fans should look elsewhere.
Micron Builds a Ford Taurus: The P400e SSD Hands-On Review
The time has come for an affordable enterprise grade SSD, and Micron has delivered this with the P400e. Although OEM only, this excellent SSD should find its way into end-user hands as server vendors decide to switch their mainstream offerings from spinning hard disk drives to SSD's.

Hi all,
Just a little note to say a huge thanks for all the work done which lead to a successful sale (which I must say went very smoothly). Both Pete and I are very happy on how professional you all handled this sale throughout. We will definetely recommend you to anyone. Many thanks again.
Best wishes,
Hi Tony,
Thanks for all your help over the last few weeks, we didn't think we would find exactly what we wanted on our first trip but we did and are very grateful to you and Jose. Jose was really helpful and made what could have been a stressful few days very pleasurable.
Kind regards,
We used Crystal Shore as we found their website clear and easy to use enabling us to come to Spain with a list of properties to see. Throughout our search, we were helped with advice and local information including being driven around. We finally bought our villa and throughout the process they were supportive, particularly when it came to recommending a furniture package. Diane was excellent on the ground and Bella in the office and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Are you looking for a remarkable, wilderness safari in Zambia?
Off the beaten track, with incredible wildlife encounters, and a true 'Out of Africa' experience?
At Nkonzi Camp you will experience an extraordinary safari deep in the heart of Zambia's exceptional South Luangwa National Park.
Just imagine….
A simple and stylish bush camp, where you can fall asleep under canvas to the sounds of the African night, shower under the stars, and sip steaming mugs of coffee brewed over the campfire as the sun rises.
A truly personalised experience: with only 8 guests at any one time, you will really connect with our wonderful Zambian team, learn about their lives, and share your own experiences with us.
Incredible safari experiences, like walking through the dusk-tinged African bush as curious giraffes peer at you from behind nearby bushes.
Sharing ice cold gin and tonics as the sun sets behind the ancient Luangwa River. And after dark, feeling the thrill as a hyena slinks into the beam of the spot light on your long-anticipated night drive.
A small but passionate team with over 35 years' experience exploring Zambia. We don't have millionaire investors or overseas headquarters, but we do have a deep love for what we do and a passion for sharing the magic of the South Luangwa National Park with you.
Knowing that you are treading lightly through the wilderness with a company fully committed to ethical safari guiding.
The delight of realising that this once in a lifetime safari won't break your bank account!
Before we visited Nkonzi I was very nervous of sleeping in a tent with wild animals roaming freely outside at night. But once we arrived I was completely put at ease by the camp staff who escorted us to our tents at night and were around all the time if needed. And Gavin's calm and confident approach gave me confidence in the unfamiliar situation – it soon became 'home from home' and somewhere exciting and adventurous instead of scary!
One of the things I loved most was sitting out at night under the lantern-lit trees and the moon and stars after an al fresco dinner – unforgettable. I also loved the early morning breakfast by the camp fire before the sunrise game-drive – quite an endorsement from me as I don't do mornings well!
It is a privilege to visit such a place, and be with such knowledgeable people. I felt that I had really experienced the African bush rather than just visited.
I would most definitely recommend Nkonzi Camp – in fact we are coming again in 2018 and bringing friends with us!Jennie C

From The Desk Of Joe Rumbolo July/August/September 2008
It is hard to believe that summer is gone and it is Fall, once again. It has been a busy, productive, fruitful and fun several months!
In June, I launched my radio show, appropriately entitled:
HealingTheUniverse: THE CLEAR VIBRATION
For at least the past 3 or 4 years I have known the name of and the intro for the program that had actually not yet taken form. On June 19th, 2008, just about 6 years to the day that I was told that I would be on radio as a host, I spoke my first words on the air. Several weeks ago, three of us who were hosting shows on another network founded and launched our own network called:
and we can now be found at:
I invite you to tune in on Thursdays from 7 - 8:30 p.m. Central Time for HealingTheUniverse: THE CLEAR VIBRATION, as well as our other shows!
This is a very exciting time and I invite you to "stay tuned!"
Shifting gears, about 5 weeks ago I returned from my annual fishing/relaxation/no agenda trip to Minnesota. This was the 20th year for this trip that was initiated and organized by my good friend George Maxon. Although he made his transition on December 25, 2006, and this was the 2nd year that he has not been in attendance, in the physical, this gathering continues on, a tribute to the man who lived his purpose of bringing people together. Before the trip was over we all began to make plans for next year.
As I was driving down to southern Minnesota where many of us would reconvene for one last dinner before heading our separate ways home, I stopped in Minneapolis…well, actually, Bloomington, MN, to be exact. For as many years as I have been coming to the area, beginning with my band, some 35 years ago, I have been drawn to the area around I-494 and France Avenue, just west of the airport.
At the time, we performed at a club at that location called The Captain's Table. As I recall, we played 1 or 2 engagements there. Then the club was either torn down or remodeled and was renamed Summerfield's, where we played several times a year. There was something about the land there that drew me like a magnet. Even when we were not playing there, if I was in the area, I would get off at that exit and either drive around there for a few minutes or I would stop at the Perkins Pancake House for a snack. The area felt like home to me, for some reason, and I did not discover what that reason was until recently.
In meditation one night with a group of friends, a past life came up where I was a Native American who belonged to a tribe on that land. I had always suspected that, but it was not until that night that some details presented themselves. The tribe was discussing going to war with a neighboring tribe, which I thought was senseless and I expressed my opinion so strongly that I was banished from the tribe, along with my wife and baby.
With winter coming on, we were left to fend for ourselves in the frigid, deadly, Minnesota weather.
Ultimately, the baby and my wife perished and I finally saw myself astride a pony at the edge of a lake, as the snow and ice melted into spring, wondering, "What Now?" My wife and baby were sacrificed as a result of my principles, choosing Love and not War. I was assured that they were both doing fine and were honored to have been a part of this action and I was encouraged to move forward in that life time, which I did.
I know in this life time who both my wife and child were in that life time and the energetic connection is very powerful. Although I know both of them, they do not yet know each other.
As I left I-494 and France Avenue, I made a "wrong" turn and found myself heading south on I-35 E. I was somewhat familiar with the area and kept heading south. I was prompted to exit at County Road 42 heading east and as I continued a few miles down the road, I realized that that was where the child had died, lifetimes ago. It was a very interesting feeling…not necessarily sad…more of a feeling of acknowledgement and knowing.
I continued east to Highway 52 and headed south toward Rochester, MN, thinking that I would get another energetic "hit" along the way, but I did not.
The next evening, we were all meeting for dinner at a restaurant near Oronoco, MN on Lake Zumbro. Many years ago, I had an attachment to a restaurant that was on Lake Zumbro. When my band played in the area, we always went there and later, we made it the location of our end-of-trip dinner, until it closed a few years ago. Then we moved to another restaurant, also on Lake Zumbro. As I pulled into the parking lot, it hit me. That is where my wife had died and that was the Lake that was before me as I sat astride my pony!
My trip to Minnesota this year was quite interesting, to say the least, in discovering this past life, who the major players were then and who they are in this life time and in then reconnecting with the land. In a way, it has felt like some sort of completion…the answer to some important questions, but then again, it has created more questions.
Since I have returned to St. Louis, I have found myself flashing back frequently to Minnesota, not to the past life as a Native American, but to my recent trip there. It seems as though the land is calling me and drawing me back for some reason, much ahead of my planned trip for next September and it feels as though there is much more for me to discover there. Perhaps there are more past lives to discover and perhaps there are connections to past lives with people who are currently living there.
Perhaps there is more to discover about the past life of which I have just spoken. Who were/are the players? There is certainly a core group of friends that I have who live there with whom I am very connected and there are others with whom I am casually connected. What roles did they play for me and what roles have I played for them? I am curious as to what happened after I found myself sitting on that pony and looking out over the lake. Where did I go from there? And with whom? A new spouse? Children? And how does all of that play into my life, right here, right now, in this incarnation? I have some feelings about this, but have not as yet been able to move the scene where I am sitting on the pony on the edge of the lake, forward enough to see. All I know is that it was spring, a time for new beginnings and I have a feeling about who I would be with for the remainder of that lifetime.
Until next time, I am thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to express my flavor of the truth for your discernment, through this venue.

Dearest Ascended Masters In Human Form…
Welcome Home!
The time for change is now! No…this is not just some political campaign slogan being used by the candidates running for the presidency of the United States in this, your presidential election year of 2008. Oh yes…the candidates speak of change and in fact, are running on a platforms of change, but the change that is necessary, not only in the United States, but also in the entirety of the world cannot and will not come from any political candidates and leaders, nor will it come from any of the governments of the world. No matter how powerful any of these candidates or governments may think they are, no matter how right they may think they are, they are all IMPOTENT to the implementation of the necessary change and yet, change is indeed, in the wind, in this moment of NOW, at this juncture of the game called The Planet Earth Project.
The change cannot, will not and is not coming from any government, no matter what any of them may say or portend. It IS Coming And WILL Continue To Come, From…YOU…The People Of The World!
We have spoken of this before, of the excitement on our side of the veil prior to and during the planning stages of the country called The United States of America, a country and government that would be built on the premise and foundation…Of The People; By The People; For The People. We have also mentioned before that this was a great plan gone awry and indeed, this great plan of democracy and human equality did and has gone awry, as it was originally envisioned. This was necessary in order to learn, but wait…there is hope…and we will explain momentarily.
Just as an aside, let us mention that this idea had been tried before in Atlantis and Lemuria and had worked to a certain degree, but this new plan…this was supposed to be the one that works and although you cannot see it yet, it is right on schedule and working much better than you can even imagine!
When the foundation for this grand experiment was in the process of being laid, inspirit, our partner was there…and quite vocal…and he was in attendance and was a contributor to the creation of the document known as The Declaration Of Independence. This has just recently been discovered and is not a comfortable topic for him, as he is not yet comfortable in that skin, not because of the subject matter or the role that he played but because of the focus of the spotlight. He does not know his identity, for sure, during that time and it is not important for him to know, but he does suspect his identity.
At the very least, the most influential of this group of
authors-of-liberty were master metaphysicians and genuinely authentic people
for the time, although there may have been what some would consider today,
to be questionable choices, behaviors and value systems surrounding them,
the most prominent of these behaviors being slavery and what may be
considered the less-than-honorable behavior of slave owners with
certain female slaves. No matter what your thoughts may be about this
today and no matter what our stand is/was at the time, these choices,
behaviors and value systems were acceptable for the time. We are, however,
amazed at how Humans came up with that one particular piece of the game, the
worldwide belief system where one Human appears to have ownership rights
over another Human. What an interesting twist!
This Declaration of Independence that we just mentioned, is quite an interesting proposition, DECLARING…that all men are created equal. Of course, at the time, what was meant was that Men…not women…were created equal…and not ALL Men, but only males who were considered Men, were created equal. This only included males who were considered to be Caucasian. This did not include, for instance, males who were of color, native American or otherwise.
This document further Declared that these Men were and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, for instance, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness and that Governments are instituted among Men to secure these rights and that these governments derive their powers from the consent of the people who are governed…governments derive their power from the people and not vice versa! What A Concept!
You have been giving your power away to your governments for much too long now…giving your power away out of fear…and the governments say, "Thank you very much! We would be more than happy to take as much of your power as you are willing to give!" And you continue to do so!
They have done exactly what you have allowed them to do and now it is time to stop this…of course…if you so choose.
Dearest Ascended Masters in Human Form…the implications here were great and they still are. This is a magnificent document that was created by these powerful, enlightened metaphysicians, who were the instruments for change…the instruments for founding a land of liberty. Did you hear what we said?
It was these powerful, enlightened metaphysicians who were the instruments for change! No government instituted the change…the people did! It was the government that needed changing!
Would you have expected them (the government at that time…British) to institute change by voting themselves out and founding a new government…a new country? Of course, not.
These men did not only talk about change and how necessary it was at that time; they not only saw the problems, they created solutions, focused on those solutions, implemented those solutions by taking the appropriate actions…And Founded A New Country with a new way of life, for God's sake…One Nation (Under God), With Liberty and Justice For All! They did not just speak of the need for change; they offered concrete solutions. They did something. They took appropriate actions! How often have you seen that, recently, and how often have you seen these actions benefit the whole instead of the few?
These metaphysicians who were also called Statesmen, which has nothing to do with being a politician, were Human. They put their plan together during their planning stage of life on our side of the veil. Then they incarnated, just like everyone else, forgetting all that they knew and spent their lives attempting to remember as much of what they have forgotten, as they could. You see, that was really the only problem…they did not ReMember all of it; they only ReMembered some of it, but since then, all of you have been ReMembering bits and pieces, more and more; and this, Dearest Ascended Masters, is indeed, exciting!
Okay…granted…you are not there yet, but you are closer than you think, even in these times that appear to be the darkest and even those of you who feel victimized, repressed, oppressed, suppressed and/or otherwise held up, held down, held back or held every-which-way but loose…you are closer than you think, to the original ideas that were discussed on our side of the veil during the planning stages, so we suggest that you each continue to ask questions, to express your ideas, to tap into that which is The All That Is, to receive your flavor of Divinely Inspired Information, your flavor of Truth, so that you may express and implement that which is called CHANGE! Above all…implement! Take appropriate action! Talk is cheap!!!
We are not advocating the violent over-throw or take-over of any government. We are not advocating war or violence of any kind. Quite frankly, it just is not necessary. We are, however, advocating the continuation of the peaceful shifting of the mass consciousness that happens to be in progress in this moment of NOW.
Continue to play your role to assist in this shift by recognizing the problems and then focusing on the solutions rather than on the problems; by recognizing the negatives but by focusing on the positives. Understand what we just said: In order to focus on the solutions, you have to recognize the problems; in order to focus on the positives you have to recognize the negatives. This may go against your usual metaphysical and spiritual teachings, gurus and learnings that in effect, instruct you to play the role of the ostrich by burying your head in the sand when it comes to what would appear to be the negative local, national and international events that may be occurring. The problems and the negatives are a part of the experience. We did not say to dwell on the problems or negatives or wallow in them; we said to look at them, to notice them, for the purpose of developing solutions!
In 1776, it took a war to remove the shackles of British rule and found a new country. War is not the instrument of today. CONSCIOUSNESS IS!!! Change yourself; Change The World! Yes…it does sound rather woo-woo…and impossible…but it is the only way. Heal yourself; Heal The World! You have within you, The All That Is. You are each not only a piece of God/The All That Is/The Universe; you are each the whole of it. That is how powerful you are!
The more responsibility you are each willing to take; the more powerful you each become.
Our suggestion is that you each take as much responsibility as you can handle, become as powerful as you can each become and effect the change that you each DECLARE into existence, first for yourself and then for your world.
Again we remind you that it was PEOPLE who caused the necessary changes to found a new nation. It was PEOPLE…NOT GOVERNMENTS!!!
WE ARE ONE and until next time, we express to you our most heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the opportunity to present this information to you for your discernment.
We ask only that you…
Laugh Often
Spread The Light
YOU ARE GOD, and So Is Everyone Else.
We reluctantly leave you at this time but before we go, please allow us to reveal ourselves:
All along, it has been Me talking to YOU; You talking to Me; You talking to You; and Me Talking to Myself…no mystery, no mystique.
From the beginning it has been Us talking to Ourselves.
I AM Joseph…I AM the Sentinel…I AM the Human
I AM You

Here we are for our second installment of Wonder Mom Wednesday!! Linking up with Amanda from Mom Who Tris and Susan from Mom Swim Bike Run! Don't forget to check out the rules of linking up in the menu!
Our topic this week is : Reasons WHY I exercise
I've been active for pretty much my entire life. I played baseball, softball, basketball and I was even a cheerleader at one point when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at any of them, but I was active. As an adult I've been a runner mostly and have dabbled in other areas such as spinning, strength training, etc. But the reasons WHY are really quite simple….
Back in college I would run at the indoor track at the gym because there was a hot guy I had a crush on that would play basketball. It just happened to be at the same time I needed to run everyday. Coincidence, I swear. Remember those days when we were motivated to work out because we knew we would see a hot guy…..this was my mindset then…
Oh wait….it wasn't green shit I was thinking about at that time, more like beer, jello shots and Jolly rancher infused Zima…don't judge. I guess that's where my athletic ability was halted. Shocker.
Ok the real reasons? Vanity and Sanity.
Yes, I said vanity. And if anyone tells you that they don't care what they look like….In my opinion they are lying to you. I admit, Yes, I work out because I care about the way my body looks. I've been self conscious about my body since, well I can't even remember how long. My goal is to just feel comfortable in my own skin. I have never felt comfortable in my own skin, even before I had children. My body image ebbs and flows. Sometimes I feel like I look great and other times I don't even want to look in a mirror. Would I like to look in the mirror and see a fitness model?
Hell yea. Will I ever? Hell no. I don't have the discipline or the time for that. Would I love to see a six pack? Hell yea. Will I ever? Hell no. Having two children and oh yea…genetics has me on that one. No matter how good I eat or how much I work out, I will always have loose skin on my tummy from having kids.
I'm trying to learn to embrace it, but it's hard. I may put on a good show from the outside, but I'm always thinking about it. I hate pool season for the pure fact that I have to get in a bathing suit. By no means am I overweight, I'm where I should be number wise, but for some reason, I'm never happy with the way my body looks. In my head I could always be more toned, or less bloated or what have you. It's definitely something I continually have to work on. There are probably many reasons for that, but I would need to lie on a couch with a therapist for a long time to figure them all out…..But, instead of that I save a little money and exercising consistently, helps. And it makes me feel more confident. Let's face it…we ALL want this to happen someday:
Sanity.If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may have read one of my most popular posts on how I am NOT Supermom, and if you haven't read it, you should. I exercise for my mental health. Exercising is my "me" time, the only alone time I have EVER. It's the way I get out my frustrations, stress and anxiety.
After the kids go to bed, I have lists of laundry and lunches and cleaning and picking up toys and then giving time to Mr. Cupcake and catching up on my MRTT chapter and being social on my social media channels and oh yea, I'm in a profession already that requires caring for others and it can be mentally challenging to always be giving to everyone else and not feel like Im being taken care of. Running helps ME take care of ME. I get to just be and drift off into that wonderful beachy locale with a margarita or fruity alcoholic beverage of my choice that a cabana boy is delivering to me and someone is rubbing my feet and I don't have anyone crawling all over me or talking incessantly. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give any of my world up for the life of me, but you moms out there get it. Exercise makes me a happier person, period dot.
And one last thing that is an important reason for me to exercise is because I want to set a good example for my kids. Putting aside all of the superficial stuff, I love that my kids love to join me when I workout at home, or how when I come home they ask me how my run was. We are shaping young minds and I want them to know the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. I don't want them sitting in front of video games and becoming tv zombies! I want it to be part of their lifestyle! Let's face it…these two are what is really most important!
Why do YOU exercise?
Don't forget to link up with us!! Non-moms too, you are welcome! Tell us WHY you exercise!! And don't forget to join us next week.
Topic for 9/3: What is your favorite "sneaky" recipe? Do you have a recipe that you sneak healthy things in for the kids or for family members that are picky? Share your recipe!

When I attended Virginia Tech I loved having a Chick-fil-a on campus. Sometimes you have a craving for a Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich and nothing else will satisfy. Apparently, some college students don't feel the same way. Taylor Cotter of Northeastern University in Boston spent a year gathering 300 signatures – about 1.5% of the student body – to keep Chick-fil-a off campus. In March, the student senate voted to end negotiations to bring a franchise to Northeastern. The school's administration supported the senate, saying, "We are proud of the decision that affirms our university's commitment to be an inclusive, diverse community that is respectful of all." Chick-fil-a has faced similar opposition at Duke, Bowling Green University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Gainesville State College, Indiana University South Bend, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, the University of North Texas, and New York University.
What has Chick-fil-a done to incur such academic wrath? There are few restaurants as friendly and inviting as Chick-fil-a whose employees hand out waffle fries with a smile and a "my pleasure". The problem these schools have has nothing to do with Chick-fil-a itself but with its charitable affiliations through the WinShape Foundation. The goal of WinShape is to help shape winners. It accomplishes this through a college program, camps, retreats, projects to strengthen marriage, and homes for children who are victims of broken families. Some of the organizations WinShape supports in its mission are accused of having an anti-gay agenda. These organizations include the National Christian Foundation, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Serving Marriages, Alliance Defense Fund, Christian Camp and Conference Association, Campus Crusade for Christ, Georgia Family Council, and the Family Research Council.
These offending organizations are labeled anti-gay largely because they remain biblically Christian. According to the Equality Matters Blog, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is bad because they say homosexuality is a sin and dare to allow the testimonials of homosexuals who left the lifestyle. The Alliance Defense Fund is bad because they defend Christian groups shut out because of their beliefs on sexuality. The Christian Camp Association is bad because they maintain homosexuality is wrong. Campus Crusade for Christ is bad for holding events promoting only heterosexual marriage. I could go on, but you get the idea. For maintaining Christian convictions on human sexuality held for 2,000 years and for strengthening traditional marriages these organizations and the WinShape foundation are labeled bigoted and anti-gay. Chick-fil-a is also assigned the bigoted and intolerant label; all without refusing service or employment to anyone.
Donald A. Perry, Vice President of Corporate Public Relations at Chick-fil-a, insisted that none of the organizations has an anti-gay agenda but as Christian groups they do uphold and support traditional marriage. He went on to say, "I want to assure you that the historical intent of our foundation and corporate giving have been toward compassion, principally by serving youth and families."
Chick-fil-a's problems on campus portray a new reality unfolding in the United States.
First, historic, biblical Christianity is no longer acceptable in many parts of our cultural landscape. For its entire history, the Christian religion has held that marriage is between a man and a woman (Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:4-6, Eph. 5:31) and all sexual activity outside of marriage – including homosexuality (Rom. 1:26-27, 1 Cor. 6:9) – is sinful. Much of our culture can no longer agree to disagree on this issue. Those who hold to historic, biblical Christianity will be shunned, banned, and labeled no matter how lovingly they hold their convictions. If they are willing to ban the best chicken sandwich on the planet, there is no limit to who might be next.
Second, the new "tolerance" is surprisingly intolerant. I wonder if the administration of Northeastern realized the irony of their statement approving the student senate's decision to end negotiations with Chick-fil-a. They said, "We are proud of the decision that affirms our university's commitment to be an inclusive, diverse community that is respectful of all." How can a decision to ban an organization from campus because of its views be considered inclusive, diverse, and respectful? The Win Shape foundation reflects the convictions of millions of American Christians yet those convictions are banned because they are not acceptable to a minority of students and the administration.
Third, America is becoming increasingly polarized. The thought behind this witch hunt is "if you're not totally for us, then you're completely against us." Such a mentality toward those we disagree with is destructive. It assumes the worst about our neighbors and undermines the entire American multicultural experiment. This nation cannot survive if people label any individual, group, church, ethnicity or company that disagrees with them a hateful bigot. Those on both sides of an issue must listen to those they disagree with and not seek to condemn, label, and ban.
What should followers of Christ do with these new realities? First, hold unswervingly to the truth no matter where the cultural winds blow. Don't abandon what God has said in His Word in a vain quest to be liked. Jesus said in John 15:19, "…because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you." Second, love those on the opposite side of issues and model true tolerance. True tolerance isn't blindly accepting every view, but respecting those you disagree with, allowing them to live as they desire, and supporting their freedom to do so. Some may hate us for opposing them, but we must love and pray for them as Christ said in Matthew 5:44, "…love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Third, vote your convictions and defend your rights. We live in a democracy where we can influence culture, hearts, and minds. This must be done graciously whether we win or lose the debate. Remember, this is not our home (John 18:36) so we are free to speak our mind and be content with the results.
Finally, go buy a sandwich from Chick-fil-a. They're delicious! The cows will love it. The chickens will hate it. But you can't please everybody.

In Orissa on the eastern coast of India, the temple of Jagannath in Puri is an ancient center of pilgrimage for Hindus. Over the centuries, they have flocked there for the worship of Vishnu in the form of Jagannath, Lord of the Universe, seated in the temple with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra. These well-known icons are of tribal origin, made of painted wood. Every year the deities are carried out of the temple for the car festival and suffer the subsequent wear and tear. In a cycle of twelve or nineteen years their bodies are replaced with identical new ones fashioned out of neem logs. This event is known as Navkalevar.
The festival begins with the ritual search for the logs. Strictly governed by ritual, a group of Sevayats (temple servitors) called Daitas leave on foot for the temple of Maa Mangala in Kakatpur, about 60 km away. Here they pray and fast and wait for a dream which will tell them where to proceed in search of the logs. They require four logs in all – one each for Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, and a fourth for Sudarshan, the wheel on a staff, which is part of the iconography of Vishnu.
Once the neem trees are traced by the Daitas, a handful of Brahmins undertake the worship of the trees. These are Vedic rituals, necessary for the appeasement of the spirit of the trees, before they are cut down, shaped into large oblong blocks, loaded on to freshly made carts of Banyan wood, and then pulled with the help of ropes right back into the temple of Jagannath at Puri. The event becomes a popular festival as the crowds mill in the streets to help pull the carts. Behind closed temple doors, out of view of the camera, the fresh wood is shaped to look like the deities, and the old deities are then buried in the temple compound.
On the day of the car festival the new, happy Gods are finally brought out of the temple, and taken to their respective chariots – raths – and are pulled down the broad avenue of Puri by the rejoicing masses. It is a spectacle on a grand scale, and the congregation which can reach 500,000 makes it one of the greatest popular festivals on earth.

Aldermen Approve Raise For City Employees, Reject Own Pay Increase
Fayetteville aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday night to allow the city to give its employees a 3.8 percent raise, although a City Council member tried to insert a last-minute detail into the measure to also give aldermen a raise.
Members of the Fayetteville City Council passed the measure after last year's operating budget showed an $862,000 surplus. The cost of the raises comes to about $1.22 million, according to City Council documents.
While aldermen were discussing the measure, City Council member Sarah Marsh suggested tying the City Council's pay to the raises being approved for city employees over the last two raise cycles. The measure would have given aldermen a raise of about 8 percent, but no other council members seconded Marsh's proposal, causing it to die before it could be fully voted on.
Marsh said she wanted a pay raise for aldermen in order to allow an added incentive for prospective candidates to the council. Too often, local residents consider running for a spot on the City Council, only to balk after seeing the pay, Marsh said.
Alderman Matthew Petty said he agreed with Marsh, but that her proposal caught him off-guard and he could not vote for her measure Tuesday night.
Employees who have worked for the city for at least six months are eligible for a raise. Mayor Lioneld Jordan released a set of guidelines for the money that includes step increases for uniformed personnel beginning March 17. Other employees will also be eligible for raises based on merit, according to the mayor's guidelines. These raises would also go into effect March 17.
The guidelines also state uniformed personnel must have completed at least one year of service as of March 31 to receive a raise.

What's a blog? It's a method of communicating online. The name is a contraction of the term "web log," and blogging has been around for over a decade. Long before the Internet, people had pen pals. Then came e-mail, online journals, bulletin boards, and other pre-blog tools. When blogs first began, they were mainly personal diaries that allowed readers to comment on their content. While some people still journal this way, blogs have moved far beyond the personal diary. There are now corporate blogs, public relations blogs, topic-specific blogs, organizational blogs, group blogs, and many other kinds.
You can blog, too, and you're limited only by your creativity. You can use your blog for frontline advocacy - to tell readers about your library and its central role in community life. It's easy: pick a catchy title for your blog, and start writing. Write about the broad range of questions you get asked at the reference desk every day, the mother who checked out so many picture books she needed help getting them to her car, the job seeker who stopped by to say that he'd found employment and thanked you for all the help the library provided. Make it interesting, but remember that everything you write is available for anyone to read.
Your content is called a "post," and it can consist of written text as well as images and links to other websites. The easiest way to turn the fabulous piece you've written into a blog is to post it on your public library's website (if possible) or to visit a blog host's website and set up your own blog. You can post your blog using your e-mail account. Some free blog hosts that can guide you step-by-step and are easy to use include:
Free social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace also allow you to blog. Twitter is a social networking and "micro-blogging" service that limits your messages (called "tweets") to 140 characters.

· Lecture Format
This course consists of a three 50-minutes sessions per week. The three hours class will be spent mostly explaining and discussing concepts, and solving relevant case problems. Lectures will not be used to communicate the entire textbook course content and thus, students will have to study a set of course paragraphs specified by the instructor on their own to further their understanding. Student participation in class discussions is highly recommended and rewarded.
· Attendance
Attendance is required for each student. Absences of more than five lectures without acceptable excuses will result in a failing grade.
· Student Attitude
Once class starts, the use of cell phones, reading of newspapers, conducting private discussions, using the computer (unless requested by the instructor), working on anything that is not directly related to the course, and making derogatory remarks about your classmates or instructor will not be accepted and may result in your dismissal from the class.
· Homework
Homework will be assigned from a set of chosen chapters. It will be turned in each week, unless specified by the instructor. Homework must be turned in on the due date, at the beginning of class. Once class starts, late homework will be graded 80% of the full grade. You will not lose points if you make less than 3 mistakes total in one homework. However, if you copied from solution manual or from your classmates, you will receive zero points. No exception can be made.
· Exams
There will be two regular exams plus one comprehensive exam at the end of the semester. Exam will be close book, cheat sheet allowed. Each exam is based on the course materials developed between two consecutive exams, except for the final which is comprehensive. Students are expected to take the exam on the scheduled date and time it is given. However, if for some acceptable reason the student is not able to do so, then he must inform the instructor in advance in writing. The instructor will then decide whether he will be allowed to take a make-up exam, depending on the validity of his excuse.
· Evaluation Method
Your performance will be tested regularly throughout the semester by in-class exams and homework assignments. There will be three exams. While homework assignments may contain a number of problems, it may be the case that only a subset of problems will be graded. However, you must attempt all problems. Do not try to guess which (if any) problems will not be graded.

NBA Jam's tradition of including hidden celebrities, musicians, and political figures on team rosters continues in EA Sports' latest revival of the arcade basketball franchise.
According to a report from ESPN, a secret Democrat team featuring President Obama, Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore will be playable alongside a Republican team that includes George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, John McCain, and Dick Cheney.
"All of the different versions had so many hidden characters like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and The Fresh Prince," Trey Smith, creative director on the title told the website.
"Just odd, random stuff, and it's that surprise that speaks to the mantra of what 'NBA Jam' is all about. Since the very beginning, we wanted to be true to the original 'Jam,' and these secret characters and the element of surprise is something we hung our hats on very early."
He also revealed legendary rap group the Beastie Boys would also be unlockable in the game. Smith would not say, however, what the codes were to unlock these hidden characters.
NBA Jam is set for release on the Nintendo Wii this week. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be released at a later date.

September 25th 2014
By Tom Renner
STAMFORD, Conn. – The Stamford Innovation Center is celebrating the story of Alison and Ron Malloy, the brother/sister team whose Design2Launch software company was hatched in Stamford and sold to Kodak for $23 million in 2008.
The celebration will be at the Innovation Center on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. Guests can register online.
The Malloys started the company in 2000. By working closely with a handful of key customers, they ended up creating a new category of software that is now called "enterprise packaging workflow." Their Brand Manager platform is used by marketing and creative teams in industries including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive and consumer packaged goods companies to create a link between great design and critical data (ingredients, trademark, warnings) to help produce product labels that are both accurate and attractive.
Early in its evolution, Design2Launch moved to Bank Street, just across the street from the Stamford Innovation Center's location in the Old Town Hall. As a vibrant part of the future of Kodak, the company continues to operate from in the same state-of-the-art downtown offices. Josh Fedeli, who now runs sales and accounts for Design2Launch, will participate in the October discussion.
"SIC is proud to be the home of some of the most innovative and exciting companies in our region," said Barry Schwimmer, managing partner and founder of SIC. "The Startup Success Story series spotlights the back story of how hard-working teams overcome challenge after challenge to create businesses that scale. These individuals inspire us all and we are thrilled that Alison and Ron have agreed to share their story with our community."
This event is just the latest in the Success Story series. Prior events have spotlighted Kayak, Gigmasters, Brian Cohen (NY Angels) and Marc Michel (Metamorphic VC). Videos from those events can be found on YouTube.
Pre-registration is $10 and general admission is $15. The program includes dinner and drinks.
"For entrepreneurs, stories of the early, crazy days of a successful startup can be hugely inspirational," said SIC's Chief Marketing Officer Peter Propp. "We love to focus on the tough decisions and then the moment when the leaders of the company knew they were going to survive. These stories provide critical food for thought for our community and I know Ron and Alison have some great stories to share."
The Stamford Innovation Center supports and encourages the growth of a vibrant tech and start-up economy in the Fairfield County region. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, freelancer, or programmer, the Stamford Innovation Center will help make your vision a reality with startup-focused events, classes and programming.
Since opening its doors in 2012, SIC has drawn more than 11,000 visits to Stamford's former Old Town Hall.

Charles Caleb Colton Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
A cool blooded and crafty politician, when he would be thoroughly revenged on his enemy, makes the injuries which have been inflicted, not on himself, but on others, the pretext of his attack. He thus engages the world as a partisan in his quarrel, and dignifies his private hate, by giving it the air of disinterested resentment.
Some philosophers would give a sex to revenge, and appropriate it almost exclusively to the female mind. But, like most other vices, it is of both genders; yet, because wounded vanity and slighted love are the two most powerful excitements to revenge, it has been thought, perhaps, to rage with more violence in the female heart.
There is no quality of the mind, or of the body, that so instantaneously and irresistibly captivates, as wit. An elegant writer has observed that wit may do very well for a mistress, but that he should prefer reason for a wife. He that deserts the latter, and gives himself up entirely to the guidance of the former, will certainly fall into many pitfalls and quagmires, like him who walks by flashes of lightning, rather than the steady beams of the sun.
Others, again, give us the mere carcass of another man's thoughts, but deprived of all their life and spirit, and this is to add murder to robbery. I have somewhere seen it observed, that we should make the same use of a book, as a bee does of a flower; she steals sweets from it, but does not injure it; and those sweets she herself improves and concocts into honey. But most plagiarists, like the drone, have neither taste to select, nor industry to acquire, nor skill to improve, but impudently pilfer the honey ready prepared from the hive.
Power. like the diamond, dazzles the beholder, and also the wearer; it dignifies meanness; it magnifies littleness; to what is contemptible, it gives authority; to what is low, exaltation. To acquire it, appears not more difficult than to be dispossessed of it when acquired, since it enables the holder to shift his own errors on dependents, and to take their merits to himself. But the miracle of losing it vanishes, when we reflect that we are as liable to fall as to rise, by the treachery of others; and that to say "I am" is language that has been appropriated exclusively to God!
Some authors write nonsense in a clear style, and others sense in an obscure one; some can reason without being able to persuade, others can persuade without being able to reason; some dive so deep that they descend into darkness, and others soar so high that they give us no light; and some, in a vain attempt to be cutting and dry, give us only that which is cut and dried. We should labor, therefore, to treat with ease of things that are difficult; with familiarity, of things that are novel; and with perspicuity, of things that are profound.
Accustom yourself to submit on all and every occasion, and on the most minute, no less than on the most important circumstances of life, to a small present evil, to obtain a greater distant good. This will give decision, tone, and energy to the mind, which, thus disciplined, will often reap victory from defeat and honor from repulse.

Ever since Donald Trump entered the White House, his critics have pushed Russia, Russia, Russia all the time. They claim Trump is an illegitimate president, because the Russians supposedly 'hacked the election' in favour of him over Hillary Clinton. They would like to see Trump removed from office, and have Trump Tower searched for evidence of the Trump campaign team's 'collusion' with the Kremlin. Yet no hard evidence has emerged – just innuendo and speculation, typically from anonymous sources, later shown to be no big deal.
That's why this week's news that Donald Trump Jr met with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 set off a frenzy. Here, finally, seemed to be the evidence of collusion that opponents hoped to find – top campaign officials (Trump Jr was joined by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then aide Paul Manafort) meeting in Trump Tower with lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, and the whole thing then spelt out in emails released by Donald Jr after the New York Times threatened to publish them.
In those emails, Rob Goldstone, the publicist who set up the meeting, promised that Veselnitskaya would provide information to 'incriminate Hillary and her dealing with Russia and would be very useful to your father'. This information, Goldstone wrote, 'is part of Russia and its government support for Mr Trump'. At the prospect of receiving dirt on Hillary from a Russian source, Donald Jr's response was 'I love it'.
But are Trump Jr's emails the smoking gun that will finally nail the Trumpists' conspiracy with the Russians, and bring down the president? No.
This was more a global farce than a global election-rigging. Goldstone is the publicist for a Z-list Russian singer, Emin Agalarov. The supposed pretext for the meeting was that Agalarov's father, a Russian oligarch, suggested Trump Jr meet with 'the Crown prosecutor of Russia' – a non-existent position. When 'Crown prosecutor' Veselnitskaya turned up at the meeting, she had no information on Hillary, and only wanted to talk about the Magnitsky Act, the US law against human-rights abuse. The meeting was over in 20 minutes. That Trump Jr would take a meeting with such nobodies tells us much about him, and nothing about the KGB. It is hard to avoid reaching the same conclusion as the New York Post did: 'Donald Trump Jr is an idiot.'
Trump's opponents concluded that a crime was committed. A number of Democrats, like once vice-president hopeful Tim Kaine, shouted 'Treason!', but this was quickly dismissed. Others suggested that federal election laws were violated. But, as legal experts weighed in, it became clear that the meeting was very unlikely to constitute criminal behaviour. Instead, this episode looks likely to become more evidence of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The pattern is clear: critics leap on what they think is a 'Gotcha!' moment, but after a few days, things calm down. The main result is public cynicism (especially among Trump voters) about investigations into ties with Russia, and some sympathy for Trump.
But does that mean all is well with Team Trump, and that Donald Jr's emails are a big 'nothingburger' (to use that annoying American phrase), as Trump's steadfast defenders say? No. The problem is that Democrats and other critics overreach: they are insisting that the campaign committed a crime, and when the facts fall short of law-breaking, the Trumpists appear vindicated.

The first thing I bought was a birthday present for my friend. I bought her a candle by Landon Tyler in the scent purple crocus. I just think it is so pretty and smells really florally and lovely. I also bought her some really cute owl earrings from river island which I love, and am very tempted to keep them for myself, but of course I won't. Then I went into Paperchase and bought her this really pretty flower notebook and a pen that has little birdcages and birds on which I think is so cute. I bought her a really cute card as well!
I have really wanted to try a BB cream for ages as they are meant to be really good. I also thought they would be much better for my skin and a lot lighter for the summer. They have SPF as well which is always a bonus. The one thing I was worried about is how good they would be for my skin type which is oily to combination. When I went into boots, I found this one by Maybelline for £6.99- it is for oily skin and has slightly different properties to other BB creams as many are quite illuminating so are not ideal for oily skin. I am really excited to try it and I have read quite a few positive reviews on this product, I am going to review it myself in a couple of weeks once I have used it for long enough.
From River Island I bought these gorgeous bright coral high-waisted skinny jeans in the sale for only £10 which is an amazing price and I was very pleased with this find. When I first saw them I wasn't sure if I would like them or not, but after trying them on I fell slightly head-over-heels in love!
(Sorry for such the bad quality the light is terrible)
Also from River Island I bought this beautiful aztec patterned skater skirt in pastel colours. I have had my eye on this for a while so you can't imagine my delight when saw it was on sale for only £12 reduced from £18. Brilliant! I love this skirt, I think it is so pretty and summery and girly and all the colours in it are so nice. There's mint green (my favourite colour) purples, pinks, blues and other greens and I just love it, love it, love it!!!! It is completely and utterly amazing!!!!
After going to river island I went to New Look and for a few things. The first thing I bought were these cute, simple little flip flops with "leather" and "gold metal" intertwined straps. I think these are really lovely shoes and will be so useful for the beach, in the garden and popping to the shops or round the corner in. They were £15.99 I think, so a little pricey (luckily we got 25% discount as my sister works there) for flip flops from New Look, but really pretty.
I also got these lovely coral pink woven sandals with little gold beads. These are so pretty and good for both the day time and the evening. They are very versatile as they can be worn with pretty much anything: dresses, skirts, jeans and shorts. Furthermore, they will go with many colours, especially the colours I enjoy wearing this time if year. They are very summery and extremely comfortable. These sandals were £17.99 and I think I will get a huge amount of use out of them.
The final thing I bought which is also from New Look is this extremely gorgeous skater dress. I absolutely love the floral and aztec pattern on it and I love the colours as they are all so pretty and compliment each other beautifully. It is bright and noticeable, however, not in an in-your-face way. This dress is such a lovely fit and a really great shape that will suit almost anyone. It can be used as a day dress or in the evening for a meal of little shindig as a smarter look too! It was £14.99 which I think is a very good price for the quality and the loveliness of this dress and I can't wait to try out different ways to wear it.
So that is everything I bought today. I love shopping in summer, along with spring it is my favourite season for trying out new looks and experimenting with gorgeous clothes and makeup. I hope you liked this post and are enjoying your summer.
<3 Ellen

We're also really keen to hear from Community Groups, Clubs & Charities who can organise a team of volunteers. We can help you promote your organisation to the runners and their supporters.
If the role you would like is no longer on the list, then allocation has been reached and the option removed so please choose another role.
*To qualify for the free race place in 2019, volunteers must sign in and out on the day and remain in their role until dismissed by their Team Leader. You will be required to give 4-6 hours depending on location. Medals will be distributed when you sign out.
