Flashback Friday: The Final Countdown
It's been forever since I posted a Flashback Friday, so I thought it was time to get started again. I hope that you enjoy it!!
This one is going to focus on "The Final Countdown". In case you don't know what that is, it's a song by the Swedish group Europe in 1986. It was their third album and became a #1 hit in 25 different countries.
So why am I talking about this song and this 80's group?? Well, because they've revived this song in a new Geico commercial. Hubby and I can't help but to laugh every time we see it. It brings back so many memories. Hubby really gets a chuckle out of it, but part of that is because of the guy in the commercial too.
It's good to see some "old" things revived like this!! In case you haven't seen it yet, check out the video to the commercial….
I hope that you join in the Flashback Friday link-up and share your flashbacks. What do you have good memories of?? Link up and let me know!!
A Christmas Present
I have something special, just for you my readers. I wanted to give you a present this year for following along and putting up with my sporadic posts and everything else!!
This is a 4-page coloring book for the nativity. It focuses on Luke 2 and Matthew 2. It's just a small book….well, it's more like pages, to tell the real story of Christmas. The focus of these pages are geared toward Catholic, as I used the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Any faith surely can use it though!!
If you're interested in these coloring pages, please just….
I hope that you can use it in your classroom, homeschool, or for religious education. If you do, please be sure to leave me a comment and let me know!!
Nativity Printables
Those of you who follow my blog know that I love to post about printable nativities. This year is no exception!!
I didn't think that I had many new or fresh ideas this year. It seems like most of what's out there, I've already posted in previous years. If you're looking for those previous posts, just search "nativity". That'll pull up (or at least it should pull up) other posts about the nativity.
Here's a free nativity paper craft. It's the Paper Nativity by Daniel Swartz. I think this one is pretty fun and simple to do for kids of all ages. I've blogged about this one before, but my daughter did it this year with her 3rd grade class and they loved it, so I just had to share again. It's the Nativity Scene (Joyfully Expanded) from Made by Joel. Here's a printable nativity scene for The Birth of Lord Jesus. This one is a free nativity stencil pattern. You can also download a free manger scene for Advent if you click here. It's from Sisters of St. Joseph/Good Ground Press and has a short form to fill out to access the download.
I don't remember if I've shared this one or not, but it's a DIY: Make Your Own Nativity from Marloes de Vries. Ministry-to-Children has this nativity playset. You can click here for a fun Nativity Fold a House Craft. "Build Your Own Nativity Printables" is a nativity based on basic shapes. Last but not least, here's a 3D manger.
I'd also like to let you know about a couple nativity printables in my stores. I'm rather fond of them and the kids in my class have really enjoyed making and using them. I hope that you'll check them out. First is the title, then the link to TPT, and then the link to Teachers Notebook.
Who Is Watching Baby Jesus? Game TPT TN
The First Christmas Story Wheels TPT TN
The First Christmas Do-A-Dots TPT TN

Foto Finish: Fireworks
This is my first week back with Foto Finish, so I wanted to share a photo that I've really been working on. Well, I'm really trying to capture lightening, but I also love fireworks. Since we just celebrated the 4th of July last week, I thought I'd share a photo that I took of fireworks.
Here's a shot of a fireworks display that I took….
This was a display put on by the local golf course and it was taken from my backyard. We are about a mile or 2 from the golf course. It's gotten more challenging because the trees have really grown up around all the houses, so I really had to try to capture the "big ones"

We went to the Wildlife Refuge after the rains. It was amazing to see everything to alive and bright since we've had a drought the past couple of years. There were huge herds of longhorns enjoying the green grass. Some were grazing and some were just laying around.

Baptism of Jesus
We've been having class for a couple of weeks now, but this is the first real craft that I've made for the kids. I have to say that they loved it!!
This is a simple paper craft. Once completed, the kids can put Jesus in the Jordan River with John the Baptist, dip him in the water, and baptize him. This project does need adult supervision to cut the slit in the river. There are complete directions and supply list included, along with the patterns.
If you're interested in the paper craft, just click to….
You can find a picture of our finished project on Instagram here, here, and here. Notice that we didn't glue it on construction paper, which I really wanted to do. I do recommend that you do it that way, as is given in the directions.

Until recently, little has been done to study the effect of higher modulation frequencies () or short () pulse durations on forward-scattered light in ocean water. This forward-scattered light limits image resolution and may ultimately limit the bandwidth of a point-to-point optical communications link. The purpose of this work is to study the propagation of modulated light fields at frequencies up to . Results from laboratory tank experiments and their impact on future underwater optical imaging and communications systems are discussed.

I absolutely dare anyone… and I mean ANYONE… to not be moved and inspired by this trailer for Shanice
Johnson's new short film Black Girls
The film tells of the movement, created by San Francisco-based computer programming
pioneer Kimberly Bryant, to expose
young black girls to the world of computer programming and all the possibilities
that they can achieve.
As Ms. Bryant says, Black Girls Code's mission is to "introduce
programming and technology to a new generation of coders, coders who will
become builders of technological innovation and of their own futures."
Ms. Johnson says her film is intended "to
push forth the notion that yes, little girls of color can
code too. They can invent, build and create. They can move a nation and they
can change the world. Through workshops on coding, science and app building,
Black Girls Code is creating a new set of pioneers."
And the good news about her film doesn't stop there.
The film, which was produced by Janet Robinson, will also screen at this year's Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film
Festival next month.
And Ms. Johnson reveals that the screening is just the beginning: "Going to Cannes as a part of the Short Film
Corner is an honor. But this isn't the end. We're currently developing a
web-series and a feature."
To find out more about Ms. Bryant's Black Girl Code program go HERE.

Charlie & May Reeves, French Riviera, Summer 1931
I'm not sure of the identity of the fellow on the left (he looks a little like Frank J. Gould, Chaplin's host during the first part of his stay on the Riviera) nor the woman on the right, but the man is holding a siamese cat. Charlie and May had two pet siamese cats during their time in France (see picture here, scroll to the bottom). I wonder if this is one of them?

I just have to comment - I love him in spectator shoes!ReplyDelete

I think Jay Gould was lankier. And that is not his wife or the lady related to Hetty.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed those links to the photos on the Riviera. May was very fit and pretty. Such a strange face when she smiles she beams. Very Parisian! I know, cause I like to look at the old advertisements from back then. Her drooping lower lip was tres chic. It saddens me that CC said their alchemy had become diluted. C'est la vie.

21 Jun Upcoming Friday at Noon (FAN) seminars
Posted at 15:10h in SGR News 0 Comments
Upcoming Friday at Noon (FAN) CLE Seminars:
- October 6: "Handling Difficult Attorneys in Depositions". Featuring an overview of the applicable rules of procedure and providing time-tested strategies for dealing with the belligerent and/or obstructionist attorney who tries to impede the deposition process.
- November 3: "Handling Difficult Attorneys in Depositions (Part 2) – Rules and Hypotheticals". Delving a bit deeper into the operative rules and then using hypotheticals as a learning device to put our knowledge and theories to the test. Important Note: This session will start at 3:00 pm.
- December 8: "How to Deal with Unethical and Overly Zealous Attorneys". itself up. In this presentation, we will move away from a focus on depositions, and instead look to other ways that the miscreant lawyer can challenge your ability to make progress in the case and do the right thing ethically. Since we will examine applicable rules of professional conduct, an ethics credit will be sought.
With the exception noted, the seminars will commence at 12:00 noon and run for one hour.
Please join us for the upcoming FAN seminar located at:
Senter Goldfarb and Rice, LLC, 3900 East Mexico Ave., Suite 700, Denver, CO 80210.
Attendees are eligible for one CLE credit. Contact Sheileen O'Hayre to attend the FAN, 303-320-0509. Lunch will be provided. Cost is $10.


text: This pendant got its name because long magatma beads always make me think of dragons ever since the Dragon Bangle project in Beadwork, and I couldn't help thinking that this pendant was a stylized tale about a dragon fishing for Koi out of a pond with his claw. I find stories come naturally while I am making unique pendants like this. It gets me into trouble because sometimes, having a story with a piece makes it hard to give it up later when it gets sold. :( But I take comfort in the knowledge that my works go to good homes where their new owners will love them at least as much as I do. :)

Insurance fraud cases 'included photo tricks'
Exaggerated gym injuries and road accidents were among the rising number of fraudulent insurance claims made in the UK, an industry group has said.
A man who cut his thumb in the gym presented a photo of a more serious injury, downloaded from the internet, to try to get a bigger payout.
In another case, 30 bus passengers made whiplash claims in a staged accident.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said that fraudulent claims last year were up 5% on 2010.
It said that insurers had detected 139,000 bogus or exaggerated claims in 2011.
'Footing the bill'
Home insurance frauds were the most common, the ABI said, with 71,000 dishonest claims having been detected, valued at £106m.
The highest value fraud claims in total were in the motor insurance sector, at £541m last year. This was driven by fraudulent whiplash claims.
One example of this was when 30 men claimed they had been injured on the way to a greyhound racing meeting. One passenger alerted the driver to a "crash", although the driver had not felt any impact.
The car behind was dented. However, investigators found this had been staged and no booking had ever been made with the greyhound racing track by the men, as claimed, to attend the meeting.
The insurance industry is now aiming to keep a register of all known insurance fraudsters in a bid to keep a lid on the crime.
"The industry makes no apologies for its zero tolerance approach to insurance fraud," said Otto Thoresen, the ABI's director general.
"Honest customers are sick of footing the bill for insurance cheats through higher insurance premiums."
The ABI claims that fraud adds £50 a year to a regular customer's insurance premium.

North America Overland specializes in Land Rover Series IIa and III restoration.
We will first need a restoration candidate. You can choose from our pre-restoration inventory or you may already own a Land Rover that you would like restored. We stock most years of the NADA (North American Dollar Area) Series IIa and III, so you can pick the model that you like.
A restoration will return the Land Rover to how it looked when originally manufactured but we will also make some modern improvements for safety and reliability. If the customer is supplying the vehicle, then we will need to do an evaluation on it to determine its condition and suitability for restoration. If one of our vehicles is chosen then we will provide a price (based on what options are chosen) to build the Land Rover. You can find a list of options here:
The project starts with a complete tear down of your vehicle. It is first broken down into sub assemblies and then into individual parts. The body panels will be fully disassembled. Every rivet, nut, bolt and screw will be removed. Each panel will be stripped to bare aluminum and assessed for corrosion. An inherent problem with Land Rover bodies is galvanic corrosion. Many of the aluminum body panels are attached to a steel frame. Where the dissimilar metals touch, corrosion can form. This usually appears as a white chalky powder on the surface of the aluminum where the paint has blistered. A badly corroded body panel cannot be cost effectively repaired and will need to be replaced. Steel parts like the firewall will need to be sandblasted, the rust cut out and new steel panels welded in. The original body panels and the new replacement body panels will now be repainted. The panels are painted in BASF Glasurit, a ultra high quality single stage paint. As a rule we paint both sides of every panel, even if it will not be visible.
While the panels are being repainted, restoration continues on the chassis and drivetrain. The boxed design of the Land Rover's frame is very strong but also susceptible to rust when salt and mud gets trapped inside. Most original frames have some degree of rust or cracks so we always replace the frame with a new frame that has been galvanized for future rust resistance. The axles are sandblasted, repainted and fully rebuilt. The braking system will be completely replaced. The front drum brakes are converted to modern disc brakes. Models from the 1960s with single system master cylinders are converted to dual master cylinder power brakes. The steering system will be entirely rebuilt and then the axles will be installed with new parabolic springs and high quality shocks on the galvanized frame. While the body is removed, a new wiring harness is run through the frame and a new fuel tank is installed. The wheels are painted inside and out and new all-terrain tires are mounted.
The engine is fully rebuilt to our specifications with slightly higher 8.25:1 compression, an improved cam and hardened valve seats to allow the use of unleaded gas. However, a rebuilt engine is only one piece of the puzzle. Other components like the exhaust and intake manifolds, clutch, clutch hydraulics, fuel pump, alternator and cooling system will be replaced with new parts. The transmission and transfer case are rebuilt as well. We install fully synchronized Series III transmissions into the early IIa models so you will no longer need to double clutch when shifting. Once the drivetrain is assembled it is installed in the chassis on new rubber mounts and the stainless steel exhaust system and new driveshafts are connected.
Once the body panels have been painted they will be reassembled. The steel parts that make contact with the aluminum panels are galvanized to prevent galvanic corrosion (the steel is now isolated from the aluminum with a coating of zinc). Any exterior parts that came from the factory with a galvanized finish are also regalvanized. The body cappings are fastened to the freshly painted body panels with the correct rivets. Land Rovers have dome headed hammer rivets. We painstakingly replace all rivets with the correct type. All fasteners are also replaced with ones very similar to the originals. Every single nut, bolt, washer or rivet is replaced during the restoration. The firewall is assembled on a special stand so that the wiring harness, dash, pedal boxes and heater can be more easily installed. The doors are put together with new Defender style latches. Door tops are especially prone to rust so new extruded aluminum units are used. New glass is installed in the re-galvanized windshield frame. These body sub assemblies are then installed on the chassis. We have a specific procedure for aligning the body panels to ensure even door gaps. All new door weatherstripping is installed and the door alignment is fine tuned.
The interior is meticulously restored to like-new condition. All gauges, switches and vent flap levers are carefully refurbished or replaced. All body panels are painted to the same standards as the exterior because this is what you see inside the Land Rover as there is almost no interior trim.
It is now time to turn the key and fire up the engine. Hearing the rebuilt engine come to life is always exciting! Before taking it out for its first test drive, we will thoroughly inspect your Land Rover following our Pre-Test Drive check list. Once the initial test drive is complete we will fine tune the steering alignment and put a several hundred break-in miles on the engine. Your newly restored Land Rover is ready for its new home, where it will provide faithful service and help make wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

There tends to be this comfortable assumption that nuclear weapons won't be used, but I don't think that's warranted, and I think we should seize the opportunity of this time of stability and cooperation and move towards global elimination of nuclear weapons as indeed people like Henry Kissinger, and William Perry, former Secretary of Defense under Clinton, and Sam Nunn, former Senator, and George Schultz, former Undersecretary of State for Ronald Reagan. All of them recently called for achievement of a nuclear weapon-free world.

'Yin and Yang were found together as strays, and though there are similarities in their appearance, their personalities are complimentary opposites.
"Yin is a lovely spayed pumpkin-orange kitty with long fur. Yin is an oddity for this because orange female cats are a rarity. Perhaps being unusual is what makes Yin shy when meeting strangers and — with the exception of Yang — uncomfortable with other cats. But Yin longs for the comfort of human companionship and a gentle soul can easily woo Yin and soon she can be found contentedly settled on a lap.
"In contrast, Yang is a neutered, apricot-orange cat with a short coat. He has an upbeat personality and, where Yin hesitates, Yang jumps in. Yang is a confident, happy boy who enjoys the company of humans and felines alike.
"Many people like the idea of having two cats in their household because a pair of cats can keep each other company while the rest of the family is away. Yin and Yang are excellent house cats as they are litter-box trained and would be happy as indoor or indoor/outdoor cats.
"Yin and Yang are a lovely balance of playfulness and contemplation. Yang will entertain with his gentle play or appreciation of attention while Yin can be a comforting presence gracing a windowsill when peace is what you seek.
"Yin and Yang make a complete and lovely whole.
"If you would like to meet Yin and Yang you can contact their foster mom, Jane, at 771-9375."

The Royal Beacon Seniors Congress – A Look Back and Forward.
As is generally known, the Royal Beacon Seniors Congress has been held at the hotel from the very beginning in 2000. That year, Stewart Reuben expressed the opinion that it was probably the first event of its kind in England. Since then Seniors events have sprouted up all over the globe. When FIDE made a move to split the category into 2 (a) 50 – 64 and 65+, Exmouth got in first and formalised its "Junior" section to fit into the same age parameters. This way, some of the youngest Seniors, to their great amusement, were able to go back into the Juniors for a year or two.
Since 2000 the hotel has been owned first by local businessmen, John Fowler and then George Nightingale, both happy to host a midweek event in the first week of November, not usually noted as a high point in hotel activity, even at the sea-side. Earlier this year, however, the hotel was acquired by the Robertson Hotel Group, who are proactive in generating a wide range of activities; weddings, Murder nights, naked body painting etc. (don't ask!) and for a time it was feared that they might raise the room hire charge to an unsustainable level, as far as this event is concerned, as has happened to the WECU Easter Congress, which next year will be held down the road at the Manor Hotel.
I spent several sessions negotiating with the new local Events Manager, arguing the economic good sense of keeping things the same. At the last minute, the good news came through that our argument has won the day – for the time being at least. Therefore the 19th Congress will be held from Monday 5th November to Friday 9th November 2018 – all arrangements unchanged. As this year, the Torbay Congress will follow closely on.
Meanwhile, last but certainly not least, many thanks to all who made donations large & small to ensure the events viability in these uncertain times.

Thank you!
Argentine tango dancing consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras, and in response to the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. Even though the present forms developed in Argentina and Uruguay, they were also exposed to influences re-imported from Europe and North America. There are records of 18th and early 19th century tango styles in Cuba and Spain,[7] while there is a flamenco tangos dance that may share a common ancestor in a minuet-style European dance.[8] Consequently, there is a good deal of confusion and overlap between the styles as they are now danced - and fusions continue to evolve.
Argentine tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between.
Tango dance is essentially walking with a partner and the music. Dancing appropriately to the emotion and speed of a tango is extremely important to dancing tango. A good dancer is one who transmits a feeling of the music to the partner, leading them effectively throughout the dance. Also, dancers generally keep their feet close to the floor as they walk, the ankles and knees brushing as one leg passes the other.
Argentine tango dancing relies heavily on improvisation; although certain patterns of movement have been codified by instructors over the years as a device to instruct dancers, there is a "basic step" called "basico". One of the few constants across all Argentine tango dance styles is that the follower will usually be led to alternate feet. Another is that the follower rarely has his or her weight on both feet at the same time. In many modern variations of Argentine Tango, particularly in Europe, teachers of Tango may establish a "basic step" in order to help students to learn and pick up the "feel" of the dance.
Argentine tango is danced counterclockwise around the outside of the dance floor (the "line of dance") and dance "traffic" often segregates into a number of "lanes"; cutting across the middle of the floor is frowned upon. In general, the middle of the floor is where one finds either beginners who lack floor navigation skills or people who are performing "showy" figures or patterns that take up more dance floor space. It is acceptable to stop briefly in the line of dance to perform stationary figures, as long as the other dancers are not unduly impeded. The school of thought about this is, if there is open space in front, there are likely people waiting behind. Dancers are expected to respect the other couples on the floor; colliding or even crowding another couple, or stepping on others' feet is to be avoided strenuously. It is considered rude; in addition to possible physical harm rendered, it can be disruptive to a couple's musicality.

NORWALK, Conn. — The fatal overdose of a man in Norwalk in April is believed to be the first death in Connecticut linked to carfentanil, according to The Hour.
Carfentanil, a synthetic opioid sometimes used to sedate elephants, is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin, Connecticut State Police said. Fentanyl has caused dozens of fatal overdoses in Connecticut, but this is the first discovery of the deadly carfentanil in the state. .
The chief medical examiner confirmed a man in Norwalk died April 17 from an overdose of carfentanil and multiple other drugs, The Hour said. The death was ruled accidental and was caused by acute intoxication, The Hour said.
Connecticut State Police said Friday that its Division of Scientific Services Controlled Substance Unit recently had two samples from one case test positive for carfentanil.
Carfentanil and other fentanyl compounds can come in several forms, including powder and tablet, and is often disguised as heroin, state police said.
Fentanyl compounds can be absorbed through the skin or through inhalation, which poses a great danger to first responders and anyone who may come in contact with it, state police said.
Naloxone, better known as Narcan, is an antidote for opioid overdoses and immediate administration of it can reverse an overdose of carfentanil, fentanyl, or other opioids, state police said.
All Connecticut State Troopers carry and are trained in the administration of naloxone.
Fentanyl compounds can resemble heroin or cocaine, so extreme caution must be taken when handling suspected fentanyl compounds and should only be done by properly trained and equipped personnel, state police said.

Has anyone else noticed quite a lot of cheat codes don't work on this card yet they work on the AK? An example is pokemon soulsilver/heartgold, try the random pokemon encounter or random level pokemon encounter codes. Quite a few of the cheats don't work on the SC2 yet work perfectly fine on my other cards (ez flash 5, ak2 with akaio) Now the question is why isn't it working on the sc2?

The same horse-drawn hearse that has been used to convey community leaders, including Alex Madonna, to their final resting places will carry longtime San Luis Obispo mortician Eugene "Gene" Reis next week.
Reis, whose family owns Reis Family Mortuary and Crematory in San Luis Obispo, died of Parkinson's disease on Friday afternoon at age 94, just shy of his 95th birthday, his daughter-in-law Wendy Reis said. He passed away at home surrounded by family members.
Gene Reis leaves behind his wife of 69 years, Irene Reis, as well as son Kirk Reis, daughter Luann Gregory and two granddaughters, Emily Reis and Heather Howard.
The great-grandson of Frank DeRosa, a whaler from the Azores who settled in Morro Bay, Gene Reis was born in a two-room shack behind the San Luis Obispo Carnegie Library, now home to the History Center of San Luis Obispo County. He spent most of his life within a 10-block radius of that location, graduating from San Luis Obispo High School in 1938, son Kirk Reis said.
After working as a bookkeeper at Security First National Bank, Gene Reis spent four years during World War II as a U.S. Army supply sergeant, serving in Africa, Italy and the former Yugoslavia. He entered the mortuary business as an apprentice in 1947.
Reis established his first funeral home, Reis Colonial Chapel, in January 1955, in the Nipomo Street building that currently houses the AIDS Support Network of San Luis Obispo County.
In 1969, he purchased a former dairy plant in San Luis Obispo. Reis Family Mortuary opened its doors at that location, 991 Nipomo St., in November 1970.
The business also has offices in Arroyo Grande, Cayucos and Cambria.
According to his son, Gene Reis worked in the funeral business steadily for 70 years, never officially retiring.
Kirk Reis said his father was never motivated by money.
"He always said that if he wanted to be a rich man, he'd be a lawyer, a politician or a car dealer," said Kirk Reis, manager and co-owner of Reis Family Mortuary. "He did it because he liked the service he provided."
The oldest standing member of Elks Lodge No. 322, which his father helped found, Gene Reis belonged to American Legion Post No. 66, Knights of Columbus, Native Sons of the Golden West, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Portuguese fraternal organization known as the IDES Society.
He served as grand marshal of San Luis Obispo's La Fiesta Parade in 1977 and the Downtown SLO Holiday Parade in 2002.
Kirk Reis said his father will be remembered for his collection of antique buggies, cars, carriages and wagons, and the Good Ole Days Museum he established in 1975, which houses antique treasures amassed by five generations of the Reis family.
Visitation for Gene Reis will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 11 at Reis Family Mortuary and Crematory, 991 Nipomo St. in San Luis Obispo, with a vigil service following at 6:30 p.m.
A funeral Mass will begin at 10 a.m. Feb. 12 at Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, followed by a funeral procession to Old Mission Cemetery at 101 Bridge St. featuring the turn-of-the-century hearse Gene Reis purchased in 1966.
Kirk Reis said his father will be the last person to be carried in the hearse. "Then it's going up on blocks," he said.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday reversed part of the $930 million verdict that Apple Inc <AAPL.O> won in 2012 against Samsung Electronics Co Ltd <005930.KS>, saying the iPhone maker's trade dress could not be protected.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the patent infringement violations found by the jury. But the $382 million awarded for trade dress dilution will have to be reconsidered by the lower court. Trade dress is a legal term for a trademark on the way a product is packaged or presented.

WVNCC | West Virginia Northern Community College
Area financial aid experts will gather from 1-4 p.m. Feb. 21 at two campuses of West Virginia Northern Community College for this year's version of the popular College Goal Sunday.
College Goal Sunday is an opportunity for students and families to get free help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid commonly called the FAFSA. The Wheeling and New Martinsville campuses of WVNCC will participate, along with 23 other locations throughout the state of West Virginia.
Financial aid professionals from WVNCC, Wheeling Jesuit University and Bethany College will offer one-on-one, confidential support to anyone planning to attend college —regardless of age or income.
Completing the FAFSA is one of the most important steps in preparing for college. Any student planning to enroll or re-enroll in college next year should complete this important form. That includes adult learners and returning college students.
College Goal Sunday is staffed by financial aid experts who will not share families' information. Students who participate will submit the FAFSA onsite through the federal government's online form, which is completely secure.
Students and families participating should bring their FSA ID, social security number and 2015 tax records. Those who have not yet completed their 2015 taxes can bring their 2014 forms. For a complete list of what to bring and for more information, visit www.cfwv.com.
Janet Fike, vice president of student services at West Virginia Northern, said College Goal Sunday "is open to any family of a high school senior, current college student of any college, adult college student of any college, adult student considering college and their families regardless of where they want to go to college and for any college type, including a two-year college, four-year college, public or private, proprietary or trade school."
Fike added, "More than 150 persons attended this event at Northern last year, and with the New Martinsville campus as another location added, we expect many more to participate this year."

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 23, 2013 – According to Trend Micro's (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) Q1 2013 Security Roundup Report, the company's researchers raised the alarm about zero-day vulnerabilities in addition to concerns about the recent concentrated attack in South Korea. Collectively, these events demonstrate that zero-day vulnerabilities remain a threat while attack innovations are growing in sophistication, intensity and severity.
New attacks against Oracle's Java and Adobe's Flash Player, Acrobat and Reader reveal that vulnerabilities are emerging faster than they can be patched and are quickly being incorporated into professional attack kits such as the "Black Hole Exploit Kit."
"Of course Java is cross-platform and that is somewhat attractive to criminals, but what is really attractive is it's vulnerabilities and it's ubiquity," said Rik Ferguson, Trend Micro's VP, Security Research. "This definitely won't be the last zero-day vulnerability in Java and it won't be the end of the vast attack surface that it currently offers to criminals."
The high-profile attacks executed in South Korea this March reinforce that theft is no longer the sole focus of hacking efforts, but rather these breaches are also designed to cripple critical networks via innovative techniques including:
"Given the capability of what took place in South Korea, it is likely that increasingly destructive attacks will continue to be a threat," said Tom Kellermann, VP, Cyber Security. "With each quarter, attacks are becoming bolder and more targeted, pointing to concerns far beyond the compromise of personal data."

One Man's Play for CIA Chief
Florida Rep. Goss Enters Contention With Tough Talk on Reform
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Porter Goss isn't seeking re-election to Congress this year, but he is running harder for something else: the directorship of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Florida Republican has the credentials for the job. He's a former CIA case officer, and since 1997 he's been chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. In recent weeks he's also become an outspoken proponent for intelligence reform, a new role that he's embraced with gusto....

Velvet Razor are a Rock / Classic Rock / Progressive outfit from Weybridge consisting of Dave Kent vocals lead guitar and additional guitar/keyboards;
Martin Wise bass guitar and backing vocals; Ian Pickering on keyboards and
Ian King on acoustic drums, electronic drums and percussion.
Having formed four years ago (2003), Velvet Razor haven't wasted time in trying to establish themselves as a fixture in the UK South's live music scene. 2005 saw the band play at Guilfest 2005 and proving to be a minor sensation of the festival. They were unknown late-comers to the festival, playing the notoriously difficult first slot on the Surrey Advertiser stage. Initially they played to a nearly empty marquee, but half way through their set, the crowd started to pour in from outside.
More recently they played at the Ents24 stage at Guilfest 2006 (The 2nd largest stage) and went back into the studio this sunmer to record a whole new disc.
I saw the band at The Hob, Staines last month. The band played a selection of their own-penned compositions plus a nice range of prog-jazz sounding covers from Stones through to Led Zeppelin via some more modern stuff. Their own material sounds a bit experimental (without being too avant-garde) allowing the boys to stretch the boundaries of the basic rock sounds. The band's guitar-based tunes containing interesting percussive elements is reminiscent of Robert Fripp (King Crimson). It is obvious that the band enjoys exploring elements of jazz and funk whilst remaining loyal to a more solid rock foundation.
I heard plenty of old-style prog-rock (Pink Floyd, Yes etc.) but couldn't really say that I heard 'more modern' prog-rock sounds like Porcupine Tree or Spocks Beard and I suppose this is not a surprise because the band are no spring-chickens…. not that I am being critical about their combined ages! As an example of their reliance on older sounds, I noticed on their website that they cite Genesis as an influence but are clear to note that it is the 'Gabriel' Genesis they are referring to and not the 'Collins' version (so in other words pre-1975.)
Perhaps the Hob is not the best venue for VR. The 'jazzy & experimental' feel of the group meant that, at times, their performance seemed lazy and a little self-gratifying. It is fair to say that the group seemed to lack the vigour and vim of some of the younger performers that night.
But, all-in-all, VR is a complex and multi-talented band worth exploring (you can get their disc from their website) and probably more suited to an outdoor event than a pub-rock venue.

Communication & Media Cell; Detroit, MI | MQM USA Detroit Chapter observed "Martyr's Day" (Youm-E-Shuhada) in remembrance of Mr. Altaf Hussain's elder brother Nasir Hussain, nephew Arif Hussain and thousands of MQM martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the righteous cause.
The event was attended by MQM USA's Central Organizing Committee (C. O. C.) member Amir Qazi, Helping Committee member Rehan Ibadat & Central Media Cell Joint In-Charge Shariq Sajjad, along with large numbers of workers and supporters from local Pakistani diaspora.
The program started with recitation of Holly Quran, in welcoming the participants the Joint In-Charges of Detroit Chapter Hasan Tasleem and Syed Anas Mustafa welcomed the participants, and congratulated them on recent MQM's victory in LB Polls. In their joint statement they stated that initially we intended to hold jubilant celebrations to commemorate the land sliding victory, but due to Martyr's Day coinciding, we opted to pay tribute to our Martyr's and remember those who rendered countless sacrifices and eventually there life for this movement.
Addressing the attendees, MQM USA's C.O.C. member Mr. Amir Qazi, he termed the month of December as "The Month of Martyrs", recalling the horrifying incidence of 9th December 1995, Martyrs Day; 14th December 1986, Qasba Aligarh massacre and 16th December 1971, Fall of Dhaka. Furthermore, he paid great tribute to the founder and leader of MQM Mr. Altaf Hussain for maintaining his composure and keeping the party and workers unified in great times of distress.
While addressing the attendees, Senior Worker Touqeer Ul-Hassan in his stated that history has witnessed that MQM has not forgotten the sacrifices of its martyrs. It has attained highest position because of them, which has paved the way for our destination. In a brief statement, Helping Committee Member Rehan Ibadat, urged MQM's workers, office bearers and supporters not to forget the sacrifices of martyrs; he went on to reiterate that Mr. Altaf Hussain is the founder of MQM and enemies of our movement should understand that founders' cannot be replaced; and deplored all forces working to conspire MQM minus Altaf Hussain formula.
In concluding, Fatiha Khawni (prayer) was offered for the martyrs of the movement, including the brother and nephew of Mr. Altaf Hussain, Convener of MQM Dr. Imran Farooq asking Allah (SWT) to granting then highest place heaven. Lastly, a special prayer was offered for well-being and long life of Quaid-e-Tehreek Mr. Altaf Hussain.

Ending of German worship services: After many years of German worship services, initially as the only language and later in combination with English, this Sunday marks the end of German worship services at SMC. A closing celebration was held in the German service this morning to mark the end of a significant era in the life of our congregation.
In conjunction with the end of the German worship, the service of our German pastor, Fernando Hiebert, is also ending this month. His service was acknowledged during the German service earlier today. We want to wish him and his family God's blessing for the future!
Our sympathies and prayers go to Sally Steingart and the family and friends of Agnes Steingart, who passed away on Feb. 18th.
Ryan Dueck sends his thanks for our recent congregational financial support. In his words, "The incredible thing is that every time we have started to feel over-stretched and over-burdened, God has done something amazing. . . . This week through the wonderful people of SMC, the church family I have always considered my home, he has done something that I can only describe by the words in Ephesians, 'immeasurably more than we can ask for or imagine.' Financially this takes a big burden off of us, . . . but maybe even more incredible is the renewal of hope and trust and peace that has filled our hearts. . . . Please pass along the most heartfelt thank you from Jenn and I to the congregation."
We pray a blessing for each of the following as we honour their request to be released from their membership at SMC:
Randy Dueck Ewald & Leonie Enns
Jacob & Katharina Enns Elmer & Christina Giesbrecht
Jorrid Giesbrecht Maikel Giesbrecht
Ronni & Sylvia Hiebert Artur & Selma Neufeld

All this cocktail requires is three ingredients and a blender. First up, we have frozen pineapple pieces. Frozen pineapple allows you to make this concoction year round, and it means you don't have to water down your drink with ice. Phew. Next is coconut milk. Because fruity drinks can sometimes be a bit sweet for my taste, I prefer coconut milk to coconut cream. Same tropical fruit flavor, just a bit less sugary. If you're looking for that more traditional piña colada flavor, go with coconut cream. And last but certainly not least: rum. I love the flavor a dark aged rum adds, so that's what I'm using here.
So now you know! And you can keep these three ingredients on hand the next time you need an escape from your snow day.
1 cup frozen pineapple pieces
1 cup coconut milk (or, if you prefer a sweeter drink, coconut cream)
4 ounces dark aged rum (I used Trigo for this recipe)
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into chilled cocktail glasses and serve.

Context of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.) Context of the Pardoner's Tale Yellow, greasy hair that hangs in rat tails
Eyeballs bulge like a hare's
Goat-like voice
note: rodent comparisons
Con artist
carries imitation relics
Practitioner of church rituals
without holy intention Context of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.) Interpretations Plot of the Pardoner's Tale Members of the company, fearing that the Pardoner will tell a vulgar tale similar to the Miller's, ask him to tell a story with a moral. The Pardoner then explains to the pilgrims the methods he uses in preaching: his text is always "Radix malorum est cupidatis". Always employing an array of documents and objects, he constantly announces that he can do nothing for the terrible sinners and invites the thoroughly good people forward to buy his relics which will absolve them from sins. Then he stands in the pulpit and preaches very rapidly about the sin of avarice so as to intimidate the members into donating money.
He repeats that his theme is always "Money is the root of all evil" because, with this text, he can denounce the very vice that he practices: greed. And even though he is guilty of the same sins he preaches against, he can still make other people repent. The Pardoner admits that he likes money, rich food, and fine living. And even if he is not a moral man, he can tell a good moral tale, which follows. James Chen, Caoilinn Haley, Flannery Jamison, Quynh Nguyen The Pardoner's Tale Plot of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.) Youngest Man vs. Two Elder Men
Each man is interested in the total amount of money, and kill each other
Death vs. Men
Men set out to kill Death, but are eventually claimed by him
Death vs. Mankind (especially sinners)
Metaphorically, this represents struggle between immoral people and their inevitable fate Plot of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.) Greed
Pardoner repeatedly says "love of money is the root of all evil"
The men's greed is what leads to their death
Deception vs. Honesty
The men deceive each other for the gold coins
Pardoner deceives people for money CLASS ACTIVITY Plot of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.) Plot of the Pardoner's Tale (cont.)
The Pardoner directly contradicts himself in these two passages; in the first, he says that he only does what he does for money and doesn't actually care what happens to people. However, in the second passage, when the Pardoner is in full preaching mode, he claims he preaches for no reason except to save people from the sin which he has fallen prey to. This is a perfect example of the contradictory nature of the Pardoner and of the satire of the Pardoner's tale. Discussion Questions! irony: surface appearance of something is shown to be not the case, but quite the opposite; often done for moral or comic purpose
Pardoner likes to preach theme of "the root of all evil is greed" while he is motivated entirely by a love of money
The three men set out to kill Death, and are all killed themselves Greed is the root of all evil.
Greed comes in many different types of forms, the most common being money. In the Pardoner's tale, the greed in the three men's character was especially brought out when they spotted the bales of gold coins underneath the oak tree, where they plotted more evil.
In the Prologue, the Pardoner admits to having fake relics and is aware of the fact that he himself greeds for riches through presenting his fake relics for money, which makes him hypocritical in telling and preaching the emphasized moral of his tale: greed is the root of all evil. The Pardoner "All my preaching is about avarice
and such cursed sins, in order to make them
give freely of their pennies - namely, to me;
for my intention is to win money,
not at all to cast out sins.
I don't care, when they are buried,
if their souls go a-blackberrying!"
(Chaucer, 72-78) "But I shall explain my intention briefly:
I preach for no cause but covetousness.
Therefore my theme is still, and ever was,
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Thus I can preach against the same vice
which I practice, and that is avarice.
But, though I myself am guilty of that sin,
yet I can make other folk turn
from avarice, and repent solely."
(Chaucer, 95-103) 1. The Host asks the Pardoner for a silly tale, but others ask for a moral one. The Pardoner switches what he'll tell at the mere suggestion of unhappiness on some party. What does this say about him?
2. Why does the Pardoner, attempting to tell a moral tale, end with death? Wouldn't religion/morals deem death not to be the end?
3. The Pardoner says that he can speak properly of morals, but is also described as an immoral, repulsive, untrustworthy person. Are we supposed to agree with his tale?
4. At the end of his tale, he still presents the option of looking at his relics, though he announced them fake. Why would he do that?
5. The old man is a foil to the three young men. What are some points that illustrate this, and why did Chaucer include him?
6. The three young men seem rather stupid. Is the Pardoner praising intelligence?
7. In the majority of Chaucer's tales, none of the characters had substantial depth to them, not excluding the Pardoner's tale. However, the Pardoner's characters are extraordinarily undevelopable. What might this be due to? Passage Analysis Themes Moral Main Characters Conflicts 3 unnamed men
Elderly man
Death Literary Terms satire: witty language used to convey insults or scorn, especially saying one thing but implying the opposite
Savage mockery of faults in the contemporary Church
Satirises exploitation, for money, of credulous people's reverence for relics Description of Pardoner Chaucer's Inspiration Chaucer's intentions while creating the Pardoner's tale was to depict possible corruptions in the church. The Pardoner represents the church; he takes bribes to repent the sins of people by giving them fake relics. The tale that the Pardoner tells has a general theme: greed is bad. However, the Pardoner is quite a money-seeking individual himself. Likewise, the church tells its followers not to be greedy while it often collects money from its patrons at all possible times. aw yeah \m/ break for Connection Prologue Tale the end!! thank you for listening!

On Friday 27th January, Howell's School, Llandaff returned to the splendid setting of London's Lansdowne Club, in the heart of bustling Mayfair, for the Bowls and Bubbly evening for Hywelians.
Many of the students who leave Howell's head straight for London, whether to study or to take up employment and training opportunities, and the annual Bowls and Bubbly event gives them a chance to build networks with Hywelians who are based in the capital and reconnect with their peers as well as some of the staff from Howell's.
This year, the event saw more than 75 Hywelians of all ages coming together for an entertaining evening that included glasses of bubbly and bowls of delicious food. Members of the London branch of the Hywelians were joined by several from Cardiff, who travelled up from school in a mini-bus especially for the evening. The peals of laughter that emanated from every corner of the room would suggest that a good time was had by all.
Guests were treated to a superb performance by acapella singing group, All The King's Men, who are all students at King's College, London and include Robert Lindsay (Howell's Class of 2014 and former head boy) among their number. Principal Mrs Sally Davis was delighted that Cheryl Giovannoni (the new CEO at the GDST) and Glen Fendley (Head of Development at the GDST) were able to attended what was a truly wonderful event, and witness the warmth of the Howell's family at its most convivial.
