Judge. Miss Deborah Kerr
I would like to thank both office barers and committee members of the Scottish cavalier club for their kind invitation to judge dogs at their championship show
in Lanark .

We are instructed to follow Jesus. We are instructed to become more and more like Jesus. In the end, we will be made like Jesus. If Jesus is the ultimate aspiration, how much time do you think he spends reading the Bible? Do you think that Jesus has to read his own story? I don't. I think Jesus is so far beyond the Bible that the Bible becomes insignificant and of little consequence. Jesus is God and God don't need no book to tell God how to be God. I would say that Jesus is the Bible incarnate…but that's not even true. Jesus is the sounds way beyond the words. If God could be contained or described by words, then God would not be God. Words are fading as the message of Jesus is heard.
So, what does this mean for us?
You can't follow Jesus with your head stuck in the Bible. Reading an ancient book is not our chief aim…becoming like Jesus is. While a few verses might be a good start, we ultimately must grow beyond the Bible. So, I encourage you to put down your Bible and be like Jesus. Remember, Jesus doesn't read the Bible.

I have a couple of white hydrangea bushes in my garden and these have started flowering so for the next couple of months I will save a ton of money by not having to buy flowers for the house.
White hydrangeas are so summery and I put a few in one of my vintage French Ideale canning jars and love how they look against the greeny shade of the jar. This ended up dictating the colour scheme for my mantle piece this summer.
I added a gorgeous vintage fan I bought from Etsy last summer - I bought this mainly for it's gorgeous aqua shade but also for it's size as it's quite small.
This fan shows just the right amout of aging - a little rust on the cage and a few areas where the paint is rusted on the base - gorgeous!
For the rest of the mantle I 'shopped my bathroom'.
Everything else normally lives there including a few glass jars with sand we have collected from beaches since my children were really small. We rarely have beach holidays but when we do we always grab a handful of sand and write down where and when it came from.
A water bottle which I love and holds part of my sea glass collection.
A wooden bird and starfish (also from my bathroom) and a large hurricane lamp with sand and a big candle finish the look.
Hopefully this mantle will posess some magic powers and bring us some sun as right now the patio in my back garden actually looks like a swimming pool.
I' sharing my summer mantle over at the Lettered Cottage's Summer Fun Link Party.
Hope the sun is shining where you are

The information that should be added to a blank warranty deed form includes the names of the current property holder and the expected holder, considerations for ownership transfer and the legal description of the property. The date of ownership transfer and the signature of the grantor should also be added.Continue Reading
A warranty deed form is a legal document that acts as a guarantee that the property seller is the legal owner of the property and has the right to decide what happens to his property. This form legally protects the buyer from any post-transfer disputes regarding the property. It can be obtained from an attorney or downloaded from the Internet. Once obtained, the warranty deed form is completed in the presence of both parties.
The considerations indicated in the warranty deed form include the amount that the buyer pays to prompt the ownership transfer, and the property description includes features such as measurements, dimensions and boundaries of the property. The particulars of the description can be obtained directly from the current deed if no changes have been made to the property. In the case of any changes, the parties should call on the services of a licensed surveyor to acquire an up-to-date legal description. Once it is duly filled, the current property owner should append his signature to the form in the presence of an attorney to finalize the ownership transfer.Learn more about Business Communications

Tiger Woods/Arnold Palmer/Jack Nicklaus/Mitch Richmond/Billy Owens; Scott Kazmir/Bob Melvin/Jim Johnson; Hank Aaron/Bowie Kuhn
TIGER WOODS will not be at Augusta National for the Masters this week and, though his competitors might be happy not to have that competition, it hurts the game overall.
Golf has a built-in audience from the men who play the game but its appeal has been broadened greatly when there's been a charismatic star player on board.
Arnold Palmer gave golf a real shot in the arm when he came on the scene in the '50s. "Arnie's Army" dominated the galleries, excited to watch their hero go for every shot. Usually he made them but even when he missed, he was exciting.
At a time when there were top golfers who were woefully out of shape, like Billy Casper and Jack Nicklaus in his early years. Palmer looked like an athlete. It was easy to imagine him as a running back for the 49ers.
Golf interested me more in those years because I was trying to play it myself, adding to the list of sports I played poorly. So, I was excited when I was assigned to do "sidebars" on the U. S. Open when it was played at the Olympic Club in 1966. (Sports editor Art Rosenbaum did the main story and Art Spander also did sidebars.)
Palmer was always the most cooperative of athletes, too. I still remember him talking to a group of us huddled around him in the locker room. Ed Schoenfeld, a writer for the Oakland Tribune, pressed ever closer to Arnie – until ashes from his cigar dropped on Palmer's nose. Arnie just brushed them off and continued the interview.
For the first 81 holes of the tournament, it looked like a triumphal march for Palmer. At that point, going into the final nine holes, the only question seemed to be whether he'd set a record for the lowest score in Open history.
But, Arnie's go-for-it philosophy undermined him on that final nine. Even without the USGA tricking up the course, the Olympic Club course severely punishes those who don't hit the ball straight – and that's exactly what happened to Palmer as he blew a seven-stroke lead and fell into a tie with Casper, who beat him in a playoff the next day.
Palmer would never again win a major, as Nicklaus surpassed every golfer in history with 18 majors. Jack also lost weight in a vain attempt to win over galleries.
I knew from being at dinners at Pebble Beach with Palmer and Nicklaus that Nicklaus was a man who could tell a joke and appreciate one from somebody else. Palmer was good natured but you had to tell him a joke was coming so he could laugh. But those nuances were never obvious to galleries. Nicklaus won their admiration but not their love. So, Nicklaus didn't become the same kind of charismatic personality that Palmer was.
The next charismatic personality was Tiger. I was at his triumphal march to the U.S. Open title at Pebble Beach in 2000 and it was astounding. I didn't even attempt to follow him around the course but I was sitting with my wife and son at the porch of a building rented by The Chronicle for this event, on a small hill overlooking the sixth green. An absolute mob of spectators was following in his wake.
At that point, it seemed inevitable that Tiger would surpass Nicklaus's record of 18 majors but his world came crashing down in 2008 when he got caught in a tawdry sex scandal.
Since then, he hasn't won a major and it's beginning to seem that he never will again. He's had physical problems, with back surgery sidelining him this week, and he has the putting yips when he's played.
None of that seems to have affected his popularity with fans. He still has the largest galleries following him. I'm sure the people running the Masters are very unhappy that he's not there.
MITCH RICHMOND'S election to the basketball Hall of Fame reminds Warriors fans of what Don Nelson later admitted was his worst trade, when Richmond was traded to the Sacramento Kings for the drafting rights to Billy Owens.
Richmond had been part of the "Run TMC" offense with Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin, a very exciting style of play. But in the postseason, the Warriors lack of defense was always fatal. Nelson thought Owens would bolster the defense but the spark the team had with Richmond was gone. So was much of the excitement.
THE A'S have discovered the flip side of their platoon-style: It seems impossible to keep all the players they want.
Their current problem is with Sam Fuld, who's out of options but a player they want to keep because he's a great defensive outfielder and looks like he'll be a good hitter, too. One of their options is to send Josh Reddick down to Sacramento for a brief time.
Still, that's a big improvement over the fallow period earlier when they didn't have enough good players. Or, perhaps, they didn't have that right manager because, as soon as Bob Melvin took over for the inept Bob Geren, they immediately improved.
It was quite a first week for the A's who were almost rained out on Opening Night – with a sellout crowd in the stands – and then did get rained out the next night, so they had to play a day/night doubleheader with the Indians. Then, they lost a game in the Mariners series because the groundskeeper listened to the A's "weather consultant", who told him it wouldn't rain overnight. Whoops. It did, and the infield was flooded. Maybe they should watch Channel 2's StormTracker, which had predicted overnight showers in the region.
Probably the best news so far has been the two good outings by Scott Kazmir, who has had two solid outings as the veteran replacing Bartolo Colon. Overall, the A's pitching seems sound. New closer Jim Johnson had a couple of bad outings and was booed by fans. I'd attribute the Opening Night boos to fans who were drawn to the opener but are not regulars because the A's fans are extremely loyal. I'm sure Johnson will be fine as he settles in.
For the time being I'm watching baseball via TV, for reasons explained in the final item today, and there was a funny episode in the third inning of Sunday's game. With two men on base, the Seattle pitching coach came out to talk to Erasmus Ramirez. The coach had hardly settled into his seat before Brandon Moss hit a pitch more than 400 feet into the football seats. I certainly hope that's not the pitch the coach told him to throw.
IT'S FINALLY OVER: On Monday, when I was shopping at Market Hall, a man came up to me and asked, "Who do you like in the game tonight?" I told him the truth: "I don't give a damn." So, the Office Pools tournament is finally ended, greatly enriching the NCAA coffers. Can you tell me again why these players shouldn't be paid?
HANK AARON is being honored for the night he hit home run No. 715, breaking Babe Ruth's career record of 714, and I'm happy for him because he's a first class gentlemen as well as player. And Bowie Kuhn, then the baseball commissioner, couldn't be bothered to attend the game in which Aaron hit No. 715. He had something more important to do. Maybe it was a bridge tournament.
It's been glossed over since but the fact is, there were many people who were not happy with this event because Aaron had made the mistake of being born with a black skin.
Like all the black players who came up from the south in that era, Aaron kept a low profile early in his career, but it wasn't long before he began speaking out on racial injustices, which Willie Mays never did. Of course, despite the silly excuses he made, that was the reason Kuhn wasn't there for the historic blast. I don't believe he was a racist but he didn't want anybody roiling the waters.
Aaron persevered, so he's finally getting the recognition he should have gotten at the time. Of course, that's because, in the eyes of commissioner Bud Selig, it's because he's the anti-Bonds, but that's a story for another day.
THE NEW baseball replay system has drawn criticism for slowing the game down, but who are we kidding? What about batters who back out of the box after every pitch, or pitchers who take forever to throw a pitch when there are no runners on base? Umpires have the authority to stop this nonsense but never do.
Getting it right is what's important, whatever the sport. Please don't give me this "it always evens out" nonsense. Often, it doesn't. Just ask the 1977 Oakland Raiders who lost a chance to repeat at the Super Bowl when officials blew a call in the AFC championship game. Denver's Rob Lytle fumbled at the three – a play captured both on TV and by still photographers – but officials ruled the play dead, with Denver retaining possession and scoring the winning touchdown on the next play. That noncall was so blatant it spurred the NFL to adopt Instant Replay.
Baseball's replay should be conducted by a retired umpire sitting in the press box and watching the replay. That would speed it up.
Meanwhile, about those stalling hitters and pitchers…
ON SUNDAY'S telecast, Mike Krukow told partner Duane Kuiper and those listening that 100 years ago, the Giants and Chicago White Sox had started the season with a series in Australia. Obviously, Kruk isn't a student of history but whoever told him that had it all wrong, and the fact that there was no inter-league play then is only one of the clinkers. Here's what really happened:
Late in the 1913 baseball season, Giants manager John McGraw and White Sox owner Charles Comiskey agreed to go on a world barnstorming tour, right after the World Series. McGraw thought the Giants would be going as World Champions but the Athletics won the World Series.
No matter. Picking up additional players – the Giants added Jim Thorpe, among others – the teams played a series of exhibitions as they traveled by train through the half of the country which did not have major league baseball. They finally reached the west coast and took an ocean liner to Asia.
They got to Australia after playing in Japan, China and the Philippines. After Australia, they played in Ceylon, then Egypt, then north to Paris and ending in London. They got home just in time for spring training!
I think you'll agree this is a much more interesting story than a mythical season opener in Australia between the Giants and White Sox.
THE WARRIORS have been interesting more for what's happening off the court than on lately, including the demotion of one assistant and the firing of another.
Mark Jackson is a notoriously thin-skinned head coach and he's lost two assistants because he didn't want to share credit. Mike Malone went to the Sacramento Kings as a head coach, a step up even if's to a weak team. Recently, assistant Brian Scalabrine was demoted to the D League franchise because he and Jackson didn't get along. (Another assistant, Darren Erman, was fired for something which had nothing to do with Jackson.)
I have mixed feelings about Jackson. On the one hand, he understands the NBA culture because he was a player and he's apparently liked by his players. On the other hand, his hyper-sensitivity detracts from his leadership.
But, basically, it doesn't matter. This Warriors team is an exciting one and it will make the playoffs but it won't go far because big men Andrew Bogut and David Lee have serious physical problems. Lee, in fact, has a lower back problem that may cause him to miss at least some playoff games. Even if he plays, he won't be the same.
Meanwhile, political writers think Proposition B will be overwhelmingly approved by San Francisco voters, , forcing the Warriors to give real details about their real estate scam that they've tried to disguise as an arena plan. Keep tuned.
NOT AGAIN: I was on my way to the A's game a week ago when, while driving on Havenscourt and crossing Bancroft Avenue, I was hit by a driver who had run a red light. The collision drove me into the side of a restaurant, Genny's Firepit, on the northwestern corner of the intersection, shattering the glass in a window that went all the way to the ceiling. This is the second time in just over a year and a half that I have been the victim of an accident for which I was blameless. What are the odds?
The owner of the restaurant, Virginia Roberson, got me out of the car and into the restaurant, sitting me down at a table. Her daughter had witnessed the accident while standing on the sidewalk and told me, "It wasn't your fault. I saw it all." In fact, she had talked to the woman driving the car and got all the relevant information, which she gave to me and the police officers who arrived shortly after.
This was the re-opening day of the restaurant and I would have thought they'd be more concerned about what had happened to it but instead, they were making sure I was all right. They brought in all the CDs that were scattered around the car and the information I had in my glove compartment to show to the police when they arrived. They even brought me some ribs, which were delicious.
Everybody but me in the restaurant was black, but there was no racial divide. They were just trying to help a man who had been in an accident and was clearly dazed by it. I was gratified by that because that's the way I've always tried to treat people, not as a member of any race but the human one.
And, don't worry about me. Once again, I survived an accident with no injuries, only a very minor cut on my nose. I have health issues because of diabetes but my body seems to be a sturdy one.
What do YOU think? Let me know!

Villa d'Acquarone (Historical Residences) San Martino Buon Albergo
Have a historic holiday in the home of the Dukes d'Acquarone!
Three reasons why you'll love it here
- A magnificent stately home, just outside Verona
- 40 hectares of gorgeous grounds and gardens
- The fairytale setting for a truly special event
Veneto, a land of wonderful wines and magnificent period residences. Period residences like Villa d'Acquarone, in San Martino Buon Albergo, a magnificent stately home immersed in beautiful gardens and in a landscape you are unlikely to forget.
Although first recorded mention of the Villa d'Acquarone dates back to the 17th century, it was not until the late 19th century that it acquired its present appearance. It was Matilde Muselli, the wife of the then mayor of Verona, who commissioned the complete restoration and enlargement of the property, in 1860. The work, supervised by the architect Giacomo Franco, was completed in 1894.
Since then, over a century has passed, but the classical beauty of this regal residence on the hill of Musella has remained unaltered.
Traces of the history and art of Veneto can be found in each and every corner of Villa d'Acquarone; for example, in the 17th century frescoes by Lodovico Dorigny on the ceiling of the dance and music hall, in frescoes by Biagio Falchieri in the private chapel, and in the 17th century iron domed bell tower attributed to the Sanmicheli School.
Just as sumptuous as the salons, and as elegant as the drawing rooms, the bedrooms and apartment reserved for guests are the epitome of old world luxury and refinement, but, with the careful addition of the latest in modern day comfort and technology, plasma television and Wi-Fi included.
Luxury, art and relaxation: essential ingredients for a dream holiday in Veneto, at Villa d'Acquarone. In the winter months, guests will enjoy browsing through the precious volumes in the villa's two storey library (there are more than a thousand of them!). In the summer, few will be able to resist the call of the beautiful swimming pool, situated next to the aviary, in the garden.
Ideal for sporty types, in the 40 hectare park surrounding the villa, there are a number of attractive running routes and cycle paths.
Whilst many will be loathe to leave the Villa and its beautiful grounds, nearby Verona is more than worth a visit, as are Lake Garda and the city of Vicenza.

It's incredible how disconnected we can become in our everyday lives, despite our obsession with "staying connected." How many times today have you looked around you — at home, on the metro, out for dinner — only to find everyone around fixated on the glowing screen of smart devices? The answer is rather scary, isn't it?
We were chatting about this point around the BikeHike office the other day, and we started to ask ourselves when was the last time we felt disconnected from all our devices and when, if ever, we have found any refuge from all that technological "noise." It took a while for us to come up with a moment. We're all as guilty as the next person of being a bit too reliant on, and attached to, our devices.
Meghan, BikeHike's Operations Manager spoke about her time on BikeHike's Walking Safari with the Nomads trip in Morocco a few years ago. On that tour, she spent an entire week living with a nomadic Ait Atta (Berber) family, following along with them on their semi-annual migration. With their vast herd of animals, the family moves up into the cooler Atlas Mountains every spring and then down into the Sahara during the winter months. She explained that this group of people — the Ait Atta — had beautifully simple life priorities. Despite being constantly on the move, the tribe's lifestyle is built on a very solid foundation — of spending quality time with one another and sharing as a family. Each day began with the herd's beautiful cacophony — sheep, goats, camels and donkeys — signalling that the sun was rising. Before disassembling the camp and herding the flock onward, the family enjoyed breakfast together. By around noon each day, the family would gather together again around another meal before tending to any chores related to setting up camp. Later that night, after some time to relax, the family came together once again for a three-course meal, enjoying each other's smiles, laughter and company as the sun set on the day. In the evenings after dinner, the whole group would gather together around the fire. As Meghan sat around the fire with the family, snacking on almonds and spicy tagines, everyone took turns telling stories about life. Imagine that: spending time actually connecting with the people around, and hearing stories every night rather than solitarily reading headlines or status updates. In those jovial moments around the crackling fire in Morocco, the only glow in sight was that of the fire and the moon.
Meghan describes that Berber family as one of the happiest, warmest and strongest families she has ever had the pleasure of meeting. It seems they survive quite nicely away from technology, as did Meghan during her week with them.
Trish, BikeHike's Founder/Director, recalls a similar time in Morocco when she disconnected from the rate race for a few days. One thing she doesn't like to disconnect from for too long though is getting in the saddle and riding her bike. So, not so surprisingly, her memories of Morocco are from her time spent on the Biking the High Atlas to the Sahara tour. And despite having had a myriad of wonderful experiences on that trip, her most luxurious memory of the trip was her overall feeling of being happily disconnected from the technology grind.
So, we hope you found a little bit of inspiration in these stories from Morocco, a destination we find offers a number of experiences that are simply unparalleled.

The building of Sugar Top became the most controversial living quarters in the history of North Carolina, and because of this, the Avery County Board of Commissioners passed a moratorium in March of 1983 on all High Rise construction in the county, in anticipation of a State Ridge Law. That Ridge Law made Sugar Top the last of it's kind to be built on the ridge of a mountain, and that law was made even before the building was occupied. However, all 320 units were planned and designed well before the battle for the statewide ridge top development regulation began in the legislature. Therefore, Sugar Top is exempt from the law's provisions. The exclusivity that the Ridge Law gave Sugar Top had proven to be a boon for the developers.
Sugar Top Lodging as we know her, was about to grow into the proud strong fortress that she is today. She started her life with three huge concrete and steel structures, already 10 stories high, one at each end of the building and the third on in the middle. These structures held the staircases, and were the end markings for all 320 condos to be attached together to form the 10 story High Rise. The entire building is a magnificent structure of steel and concrete, and completely fire proof. The huge round columns that are quite prominent everywhere, are steel and concrete. There are several hundred such columns, and they go down deep into the mountain sixty, one hundred, and more feet to insure how sturdy she is.
In addition to skiing, the area offers other sporting activities such as golf, white water rafting, horse back riding, and hiking and bike trails. Banner Elk is home to Lees-McRae College's Summer Theatre program, the Natural History Museum located at the top of Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.Sugar Top Lodging

FORT LAUDERDALE — Cameras could soon be installed at eight intersections around Fort Lauderdale to catch drivers running red lights.
On Tuesday, the City Commission will decide whether to give the go-ahead to installing cameras at these intersections: North Federal Highway at Northeast Eighth Street, Northeast 15th Avenue at Sunrise Boulevard, State Road 84 at Southwest 9th Avenue, West Sunrise Boulevard at Northwest 15th Avenue, West Commercial Boulevard at Northwest 21st Avenue and South Federal Highway at State Road 84.
Commissioners decided in January to install cameras at key intersections and signed a 39-month contract with American Traffic Solutions Inc. of Kansas. The use of red-light cameras came into question because of a court ruling a month later, but the state Legislature last week agreed to allow cities to use them.
Under the legislation that is awaiting Gov. Charlie Crist's signature, violators would be fined $158 and local and state government would divvy up the proceeds. A motorist would be issued a civil infraction rather than a traffic violation, without points tacked onto the driving record.
According to Fort Lauderdale proposal, blue-and-white signs saying "Photo Enforced" would be placed at the intersections with cameras. Wireless sensors in the street would detect violators and will be linked to cameras installed 90 feet behind the intersection.
The initial intersections differ from those originally proposed in January. The city has had trouble winning permission from private property owners to install the cameras and also is concerned about delays getting state permission to use its right-of-way. The chosen eight intersections involve city property and right-of-way.

Sometimes, divorce proceedings can become so filled with negativity and ill feelings on the part of both ex-spouses and their children that the only way to heal is for one of the parents to relocate to a new area, whether to a new city or state. Here are some of the factors that can help you make a solid argument in court for relocating after the divorce along with your children:
1. Greater Stability
Point out how the move will help create greater stability for your children in financial terms. The relocation can be necessitated by a new job in another area. Evidence for such an opportunity must be presented in court, in the form of proof of the new salary and other benefits to the family.
2. A New Family
Another reason to relocate can be because you wish to get married again. Prove that the new marriage can help provide a better home for your children and greater support during their growing years.
3. A Better Support System
Relocation can also bring you closer to your other family members and close friends who can help you care for your children.. You will need to offer solid proof that your children are emotionally close to your relatives in the new area you wish to move to.
4. A Fresh Start
Some divorces can get so ugly that the only way to get a fresh start is through relocation. Having a new home can have a positive effect on the children, and help them put the divorce behind them. Be careful not to imply that you desire to relocate simply to get away from your ex-spouse, which is not considered a good reason by the law. Prove the other benefits of the new area, such as better schools, job opportunities or medical facilities.
5. A Clear Plan
Your main aim throughout the hearing is to convince the court that you have a clear plan for aiding in your children's upbringing through the relocation. Show the court that you have thought all the details through, such as the visitation schedule with your ex-spouse, plans for school vacations, the time you will be able to spend with your children.
Child custody cases can be difficult. You may want to contact an attorney to assist you with your case.

Non Stick Pan. Stay Cool Handle
These titanium frying pans are standard 2 inches deep. This low profile makes turning and flipping food super easy. The domed lid adds a lot of "vapor oven" space for heating up left overs or bringing final internal temperature up and is great for cooking vegetables. Choices include the following and can be added to the shopping cart from the pull down menu (with or without a matching lid):
8" diameter frying pan (20 cm) $269.
9" diameter frying pan (24 cm) $289.
11" diameter frying pan (28 cm) $309.
13" diameter frying pan (32 cm) $349.
Hand-cast in Germany, our titanium frying pan has a 20-year surface performance warranty. This cast flat frying pan is especially suitable for steaks, cutlets, eggs, omelettes, fried potatoes and quick fried foods. It's also terrific for heating up leftovers.
When you add the lid (sold separately) you create a vapor oven that allows you to make perfect vegetables with no water, and do poached eggs to perfection. Click here for waterless, Vapor Cooking. Vapor cooking is also a great way to defrost or heat up leftovers. Lids and handles are oven-safe.
Purchase a matching lid in the same size, to create your vapor oven on the cooktop (lids sold separately except when purchasing a set).

I'm doing some work on a short film in my spare time with a friend of mine. I've been the camera operator (again with the trusty Canon 600D and a small selection of lenses) and I'm currently working through some of the VFX shots.
The shot below is sort of a background replacement – we wanted things to feel a little more moody, like the environment was a little foggy and wet.
The film is called 'Sequestration' and is shot in and around Tauranga / Mt Maunganui – New Zealand. We hope to have it out for viewing in March.

Men of God don't carry immunity from persecution by the flesh, according to an article in the Dec. 21 New York Review of Books. In ''The Phallic Pulpit,'' Northwestern University historian Garry Wills argues that much of the secular media's derision of the infidelities of Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart was grossly naive.
''The pulpit has always been a libidinous zone,'' Wills writes, detailing historical tensions between spiritual declarations and physical longing. He registers no surprise that believers forgive leaders humbled by passion. Indeed, he notes that at moments of evangelical ecstasy ''the body is uplifted with the spirit, in rapturous accord with it,'' suggesting that preaching before swaying, singing multitudes has an undeniable and long-recognized sexual component.

England can regain Ashes in 2009, says HarmisonOctober 6th, 2008 - 1:29 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct.6 (ANI): England can beat Australia in next summers Ashes series here, claims fast bowler Steve Harmison.
Looking forward to the forthcoming cricketing season, a recharged Harmison told The Guardian: "This is going to be an exciting and intense 12 months of cricket and I cannot wait. People will go on about the Stanford series and the money that is on offer, but every single Englishman knows the Ashes series against Australia is the one to really win."
"The money on offer for the Stanford tournament is a lot, but you"ve got to win it first. We are going out there to represent our country, just as we will do in India and the West Indies this winter," he added.
Harmison said winning the Ashes next year was a "realistic goal".
England won the last home contest, in 2005, but were whitewashed 5-0, only the second such result in the Ashes, in the return in 2006-07.
"I do feel I"ve got a bit of a score to settle. I know what it''s like to win the Ashes and I know what it is like to lose the Ashes 5-0. It''s the same for Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood and Andrew Strauss.
"I think it can happen, I really do, but we"ve got a hell of a lot of cricket to play between now and then. I think we"ve got ten different series in the next 12 months and I"d like to play in and win them all."
Less than seven months ago, Harmison''s future with England looked in doubt. He was dropped after the first Test against New Zealand in Hamilton along with Matthew Hoggard. However, he forced his way back with a stellar county season; he finished with 60 wickets in 12 games as Durham won their first Championship.
Harmison was recalled for the final Test against South Africa at The Oval, under new captain Kevin Pietersen, and was later convinced to walk out of his exile from international limited-overs games.
"It is a season which began with me at my lowest ebb, but it is one I will look back on with an enormous sense of satisfaction," Harmison said.
"I"ve achieved my own personal goal of getting back into the England team and Durham have won the title, I couldn"t have asked for much more. This has been a fantastic season for me, unbelievable really. We had our disappointments at Durham, losing in two semi-finals, but we kept on going." (ANI)

At a meeting March 10, 2014 the Burnaby District Youth Soccer Association confirmed its decision to affiliate teams in the Metro Select League directly from District. There was a near-consensus on this action; representatives from all but one of the "feeder" clubs supported the confirmation.
Burnaby District thanks the Burnaby Metro Select Club for its service, and for its successes in administering the Metro Selects program for over 10 years. While District has decided to move in a different direction going forward, the program will benefit from the legacy left by the Burnaby Metro Select Club, not least including the many coaches from the Club who have joined the District program.
Burnaby District especially welcomes the work of its head coach, Frank Iuele, and his team of coaches. Frank's position is a new one, and one we believe will provide the technical leadership necessary for the best possible approach to player development.
Player evaluations are now underway at all ages, and both genders (except U-16 and U-18 girls, where programs are operated by "feeder" clubs). They will continue into April.
The change in program administration has caused confusion about where to register for evaluations. While the Burnaby Metro Select Club continues to operate the 2013 – 14 teams, player evaluation for 2014 – 15 is ONLY VALID on the BURNABY DISTRICT website, that is, www.burnabysoccer.com
So, for an exciting 2014 – 15 soccer season at the Metro Selects level, players need to REGISTER NOW for player evaluations. Teams will be announced in April.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I realize the concept of using makeup in order to look natural is totally counterintuitive and contradictory, but that doesn't stop me from doing it anyway on most days of my life. Let's look at it as a way of enhancing what's already there (eyes, skin, lips) without drastically changing how those things look -- like soft brown shadow and matte mauve lips rather than heavy eyeliner and red lipstick.
I love how many gorgeous, neutral-shade palettes are on the market these days. (Actually, it sort of seems like there aren't many other kinds of palettes out there anymore. Let's call it the Natural Takeover.) I could, and likely will, go broke attempting to try every neutrally toned lipstick and eyeshadow set that tortures me as I browse Ulta.
But in the interest of time and sanity, I've narrowed down my favorite products for creating a natural look. I'll even tell you how to do it. Isn't this fun? We're gonna look so much like ourselves, only better!
In order to achieve the perfect natural makeup look, you will need:
I'm using Nvey Eco Pro Studio Face Primer ($28) and BB Cream ($27). Already have a foundation or BB cream you love? Definitely grab this organic primer to ensure your skin stays moisturized and your makeup stays in place all day.
I recommend my current obsession, Tarte Cheek Stain ($30) in your color (I wear "Exposed.")
My favorites are Too Faced Natural Eye Palette ($36) or NYX Cosmetics The Natural Eye Shadow Palette ($7.50).
I'm in love with Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($20).
You can't go wrong with the new Lip Gloss Pens from NudeStix ($24). (I'm wearing "Bare.")
I love the inexpensive yet powerful NYX Cosmetics HD Studio Finishing Powder ($10).
And now here's what to do with those...
The key to a nice, natural makeup look is not appearing to be caked-up with foundation, hence my recommendation for a BB cream. BBs provide some coverage and glow, and help buff out any imperfections in skin tone without totally masking you over and making your skin look like Play-Doh.
I'm loving the aforementioned Nvey Eco products because they are organic and 100% free of harmful ingredients. Their primer and makeup are packed with vitamins A, C and E, and oils like sweet almond, jojoba and safflower, among others. When using these products, I don't feel like I'm slowly soaking in cancer-juice. (A good feeling.)
I use the primer all over my face, sans the forehead (I get oily there), and then I dab a dose of BB cream across my cheeks and over my nose. If things are dire, I'll add some under-eye concealer. (Things are usually dire.) Don't overdo it, though; remember, we want to look natural.
Putting on Tarte cheek stain is fun, in my opinion, but I might be easily amused. But really quick: Why a cheek stain and not just regular blush, you ask? Well, blush is by-and-large a powder substance, and we are trying to avoid that for this look. Powdery skin doesn't look natural, and natural is our goal. Stains blend with your skin in a more natural, stuck-to-your-face sort of way. (Plus, they have great staying power!)
I start at the apple of my cheek and drag the stain diagonally and upward, toward my temple. I usually do two lines next to one another, occasionally a third for luck. Blend with your fingers.
I am going to unlock the secret of multi-shade natural eyeshadow palettes. I know it might seem mysterious, like, where are all of these shades supposed to go?! I'll use the Too Faced palette as a guide, but these rules can apply to any neutral eye kit that has light, medium and dark shades.
*Note that not all natural palettes will come with light, medium or dark shimmer shadow options, although many do. I'm a fan of shimmery/glittery neutrals myself, as they give the natural look a subtle pop. However, this look can be easily completed with a simple three-color palette with matte light, medium and dark shades -- just follow the same instructions, minus shimmer.
Can we talk about this lip pen from NudeStix? I'm obsessed. The color gloss twists up at the bottom and comes out on the brush, which reminds me of the lip glosses of my youth. Except instead of being gooey and horrible, this gloss dries matte and looks amazing. I'm wearing "Bare," but they have quite a few options.
Put on your lip stuffs, folks, even if it's just chapstick. No one likes a plain, crusty lip.
Using NYX translucent finishing powder (or some other brand, but why bother? Look at that price tag!), finish off this look. I like to use a translucent powder to set this look because it allows your natural radiance to come through while also protecting your makeup and giving it some staying power.
What are you favorite products to look like yourself -- but better?

To its passengers, the trolley will be a more pleasant means of getting from St. Luke's Regional Medical Center near First Street to Rite Aid at 15th, which is now a significant walk, an easy bike ride or a lame drive.
But to city planners, streetcar developers in Portland, Ore., and maybe to downtown property owners, steel track means thousands of eyeballs rolling by their buildings throughout the day. Those eyeballs could become incentive to build "mixed-use development." Like some west-side multi-story lofts with a smoke shop and deli at street level and a little sign shop on the alley.
- URS Corp.
- The latest route for Boise's future streetcar, as proposed by a pair of downtown committees.
The proposal for a downtown streetcar, announced by Mayor Dave Bieter in his State of the City address earlier this summer and part of various urban plans for nearly a decade, has at least two, if not more, rationales behind it: Are city officials interested in moving people around downtown or encouraging sensible urban development? Or both?
"With a streetcar project, that is the question," said John Cunningham, a former Southwest Idaho transportation planner who now works in Northern California. "Or it's the answer."
Cunningham, who helped develop the most recent regional transit plan when he worked at the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, or COMPASS, said that a streetcar project might not be viable if conceived only for transit or only for development purposes. But given the right mix of funding—mostly support from property owners along the route—a streetcar can be very successful for a place like Boise, Cunningham said.
Bieter is counting on just that type of funding, in the form of a Local Improvement District, to make his call for bringing back the streetcar a reality.
"The attractiveness of it for us is that we could potentially do it without federal funding, without state funding and in a reasonable amount of time," Bieter said. "We'd be hopeful that people would see the advantages of it, that it works," he said.
Bieter said the idea for a streetcar is equal parts transit and development with a little bit of politics thrown in.
"The hope is it builds momentum to get a broader public transportation system done," he said.
Plans for Boise's streetcar are much further along than Bieter's State of the City address indicated. A pair of committees aided by a federal grant for a multi-modal center—a highly designed, off-street bus depot with bathrooms, bike racks and sandwiches—has already completed an initial study, which includes maps and rough costs. On Monday, the Downtown Technical Advisory Committee approved the report, prepared by Portland planner Bob Post, and handed the details over to the city and its urban renewal agency, the Capital City Development Corp. The next report ordered will be a feasibility study, with an eye to rolling out the street cars in about four or five years.
Post said Boise is one of about 80 cities, 40 of them serious players, now looking to streetcars for their development potential.
"Nobody's claiming that it creates development where the economics wouldn't otherwise support it," said Post, a planner and architect who worked for Portland's transit system a decade ago and now consults for URS Corp. URS, a global engineering and construction firm, has worked extensively in railway design, including on the Portland, Tampa, Fla. and Seattle streetcar systems.
Post said that streetcars fit a new urban model for many cities.
"It's a combination of higher interest in mixed-use development and more housing either in, or close in, to downtowns," Post said.
Bieter calls it "development-oriented transit" and CCDC, which is tasked with figuring out how to pay for the streetcar, pitches it as a way to connect different parts of downtown.
"What really makes a downtown economy work is a variety of uses near each other," said Mike Hall, development director for CCDC. "Anything you can do to make uses closer together increases opportunity for that synergy."
City council member Elaine Clegg, who works for Idaho Smart Growth, said laying track downtown has the potential to double the capacity of urban Boise in a very efficient manner.
"It's been discovered through experience that if that circulator is steel wheeled ... then people who own land along that route realize that they can do different things with their land than they would be able to if there was just a bus running by," Clegg said.
Also sitting on the committee planning Boise's future transit scenario is Carter MacNichol, a principal at Shiels Obletz Johnsen Inc., the firm that built and now runs Portland's streetcars. Post took officials from CCDC, the Downtown Boise Association and other local planners who sit on the Downtown Technical Advisory Committee on a recent trip to see different types of transit centers in Oregon and to test Portland's streetcars and other forms of public transit unavailable in Idaho.
A $9 million federal grant will pay for Boise's transit center, now planned for a half-block lot on 11th Street between Idaho and Bannock streets owned by Jim Tomlinson, who also sits on the advisory committee.
If a federal environmental review is approved, possibly in a matter of weeks, negotiations with Tomlinson and then design of the new transit center will begin.
The streetcar proposal dovetails with the transit center, running west along Idaho to 17th Street, back east on Bannock, then east of the transit center on Main Street and back on Idaho. That proposed route has been analyzed for its suitability, but now city officials have to start talking to property owners along the line to see if they are interested in ponying up the funds.
"There's a lot of legwork to be done there," Bieter said. "The lines on the map right now may be very fluid."
Future phases of the streetcar line would extend out Main Street to 30th Street and south from downtown to Boise State, along Broadway or up to the Boise Depot.
Cunningham, reflecting from his new job in Contra Costa County, Calif., wondered why the city is not pushing the Boise State phase first, imagining a blue, Bronco-emblazoned train carrying fans from the transit center or downtown bars to the big game.
"There's more of a transportation need connecting those two," he said.
But Cunningham acknowledges that the east-west downtown route may net more private sector buy-in and be a less expensive, possibly higher profile start.
Phil Kushlan, executive director of CCDC, called the map and the entirety of the streetcar discussion "100-year transformative decisions."
Or as CCDC special projects manager Scot Oliver put it: "We here locally can do it. We can't do local-option taxes. We can't fix the highway to Canyon County. But we can do this."

Today we continued learning about our opinions. The kids came up with some really funny opinions about boys and girls! We read I Wanna Iguana and began thinking about what the best pet would be. Tomorrow we will write about the best pets and reasons why they are.
In math we reviewed 2D and 3D shapes. We used popsicle sticks to build 2D shapes and talk about the number of sides and corners. We used play-doh to make 3D shapes and talk about their faces.
We enjoyed the sunshine on the big kid playground!
After reading groups we reviewed questioning and answering as we read the book Igor.
Thank you for ALL turning in your permission slips today!! You guys rock!

Got this in white yesterday from cpw, nice looking phone with some good features, easy to use, colours of the screen have that washed out look and veiwing angels are terrible, camera is ok but the biggest drawback is how slow it performs! apps like facebook, twitter etc sometimes take ages to load and thats using wi-fi!.
Its such a shame as i do like the design and LG's own spin on some of the features.
Did a benchtest came out at a measly 2739
Score overall from me 7/10
just bought LG LS e612......and it's fu&%$^ awesome! better than ACE
Vicky, 28 Oct 2012I have been using the LG Optimus L5 for few months now and my text messages don't show. Can so... moreI saw in manual that when your phone is almost or full,new text messages wont be stored/received. So check your phone memory, and make some free space.
Hope this works out.
Please users of this model help me out. How is this phone. The screen resolution is less and the screen is a 4.0 so is the screen pix-elating? How is the sound quality. I know its a budget phone i cant expect extreme performance. Want to know your experiences.
Plese share your experiences.
Thanks in advance..

Karthik, 25 Oct 2012Hi, I have been using this phone for a month. Date/time changes automatcially to some future d... moreEven I m facing same issue ...date and time change automatically and I enabled automatic date and time and automatic time zone,Now there is no issue with the time.
I have been using the LG Optimus L5 for few months now and my text messages don't show. Can someone please tell me why I can't view my text messages? They appear in the bar at the top of my screen, but if I click the message to go to the conversation, it's not there. This is getting very frustrating! Help would be good, thanks!
LG Optimus L5 is the best value for your money. It is a fantastic phone for such a cheap price. You get a 4-inch screen which is unheard of in this price range. Most reviews are critical of the screen resolution (380 X 420) which is the SAME as the iPhone 3GS. Who cares? In fact, the so-called "low" screen resolution draws less energy from the battery, so it lasts longer. The 800 Mhz CPU is fine. Ok, it's not lightening fast like a dual-core 1.5 Mhz, but again, in this price range, WHO CARES? I own this phone and it's wonderful, it loads pages and renders them plenty fast for me and the 4" screen makes most people with the iPhone 4S jealous. It's a great phone and worth the money.
PROS: LOW PRICE, BIG SCREEN, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (fantastic).
CONS: Not as fast as a phone costing three-times as much. DUH.
can this phone take screen shots? any help would be greatlty appreciated
Worst sound quality
Touch is horrible
Screen is huge.but display is terrible
N worst part is my frnz are unable to contact me as acc to them I m out of reach....lg is terrible...cheap brand cheap fon terrible features
Hi, I have been using this phone for a month. Date/time changes automatcially to some future date. Any idea why, I have disbaled all auto time set and Sync..
one day has overrrrrrrrr
by taking new brand phone nice phone butnt like samsungggg but its good and sweet looking
I bought this phone and using it for 4 days.
IT HAS A BELOW AVERAGE sound quality. Hollow and very poor and loudspeaker put in it is horrible. No sound filter. Sound quality is even poorer than LG cookie T300. Not in 100 miles near even Nokia Querty C3 business phone. Even worse than my 7 yrs old nokia FOLD phone 6061. All the other 3 phones i have show much much better sound quality which price Rs3000/4000 and Rs 6000 2/3/7 years ago.
I wonder why in many review sites Sound quality is described as Good. Does it have different firmware version!!!!

Mum Sharda Ghumare's baby just turned 2 years old and she wantsed to know the best age to stop breastfeeding. We've always said that Mommy Knows Best, so who better to ask than mommies themselves! We asked and here's what most of them suggested:
- 02 years is a good time, in fact, feeding till so late may also lead to difficulties in weaning.
- It's good to have fed baby for as long as 02 years, but now it's time baby gets plenty of other healthy things like vegetables, fruits, rice, roti etc. It may be difficult to suddenly try and switch baby to something else, but eventually, baby will pick up the tastes and develop an interest in new food.
- Once babies start teething it's difficult to feed. A good way to start weaning is by giving bottle feed in small quantities, cerelac, mashed rice, curd, sheera, upma, roti etc. You can also give diluted cow milk to baby for feeding. You will gradually be able to reduce the number of feeding times.
- Offer your child cow's milk whenever the child asks for a feed. It will be difficult in the beginning but you have to be a little firm, and gradually baby will get habituated.
- It may take 2-3 months to completely stop, but the first key is to distract baby. Initially, the mother too may feel some discomfort on stopping the feed, but this will gradually go away, and you can always consult your doctor if the pain or uneasiness persists.
- Sometimes, it's a good idea to let baby decide when to stop. The milk may stop/reduce in quantity, baby might start developing a taste of the other food that you're giving, or baby may suddenly just give up altogether. If this isn't causing you or baby any discomfort and you want to, then you can continue. Don't take too much stress. Just relax, enjoy your motherhood and take this as a time to bond with your baby.
- You should try and give feeding time duties to someone else in the house. Every time baby sees you at feed time, baby will surely want breast milk. Ask an elder in the family or your husband to take up feeding duties and handle the bottle. Try and let baby sleep with your partner or a family elder for a few days, so that the habit of feeding while sleeping reduces and then completely stops.
- Don't stop breastfeed suddenly, introduce bottle feed, increase it slowly in number and then slowly stop.
- Get some fun bottles and sippers and let baby enjoy the new feeding products!
- One of the best times to try and introduce 'new' feed is when baby is really sleepy. Try giving a bottle of diluted cow's milk when baby is already really sleepy. Ask your partner to feed the bottle so that baby doesn't create a fuss.
- There may be a lot of crying and screaming, but please be firm and don't give in. Do not feel guilty. Remember, you've already given baby your best and now is the time to introduce and help baby to move on to other things that are healthy, nutritious and important. Take this as a slight hitch and a few days of crying will eventually give way to other feeds and solids.

Is the test to blame?
We've all had good test. We've all had those tests where you're not sure how it went, but it couldn't have been that bad. And we've had those tests that were just no good. And by "no good" I typically mean that the class average was a B or something along those lines. Despite all those times we were told that having an A average or 4.0 GPA before nursing school was like having a B/3.0 average in nursing school, no one likes those B's. So when the tests get handed back for review, everyone pounces on the teacher to have questions reconsidered, have their answers considered, and to make sure the professor has understood what thought process went through their head.
Sometimes we're luck and the teachers listen. Sometimes the questions really were unfair, or unclear. But sometimes the stakes are high, and we don't know what to expect going in. Sometimes we've heard awful things about the previous class taking the test, and so when we read the first question and don't get it off the bat, we panic, blocking out all rational thinking.
And other times, the test is just off. I mean, I feel like something needs to be said for a test that the class overwhelmingly does poorly on, right? We're at the end of our student nurse careers, and we study, and we generally know what we're talking about. But there are other factors, we should know what to expect on a test, not be thrown for a loop, or have warning as to the style of questions, right? I guess in nursing we don't have that warning. I just think that if a group of collectively intelligent students are not scoring high on an exam, there's more to it than a lack of knowledge, yes?
Nursing students – what happens in your classes when tests go wrong? Are your professors lenient? Should they be?

I of course used to see the 'pouncing' with EVERY exam, sad to think we get reduced to a letter grade.
One of my grad school proff utilizes the most fair means of 'weighing' an exam. He looks at the trends for each exam question – and evaluates how the class did as a whole. If a high enough % of students do poorly on a particular question – he believes it was his error (or an error in communicating the concept) and he 'throws the question out'.
So far, this is THE most fair means I've seen.
In the class I just left, 78 was passing, the class avg was 76. Last fall, 30 started the program and only 16 remain. The instructor told us that their job was not to teach us how to be nurses, but to teach us how to pass the board exam. When a test question was challenged, we had to fill out a form as to why the question or test answer was wrong, but we never knew if the question was thrown out, or we were blown off. Needless to say, I'm no longer in that class.
I am assuming that nursing students are unaware that an answer analysis is completed after each test that a professor creates themselves, especially from a test bank. This is 101 basics of Nursing education. This gives the professor a means of not only evauating the question but the assessment of the class for critical thinking. Since the standard is towards assessment testing to gauge readiness for state boards, such as ATI or HESI the benefits of "pouncing" are diminshed. As there is no person or means of pouncing for either nor at the boards the student would most benefit from learning the content thoroughly, managing the test with learned test taking skills and critical thinking. I know of many individuals with expensive degrees as a result of effective pouncing that earned passing grades, but the inability to practice due to being stumped at the boards.
Signed–A concerned Faculty.
Like most nursing students, I've endured my fair share of poorly written exams and the poor grade that I and well over 50% of my classmates received as a result. And I'm sorry, but when poor results are that consistent, the most significant problem lies with the quality of the instruction. The arguments I've heard to the contrary are weak at best. Think about it, when a team performs poorly as a whole, it's almost always the coach who's fired, not every player on the team.
