It's not that I don't care. I do - but mostly about the immediate issues in my own personal life, which at times, there can be a bookoodle of them. Sure, many of the issues represented by those signs probably do affect me in some way. But since they do not affect me or my family right this very minute, I'll have to put those signs and their issues on the back burner.
Right now there are many people who have opinions about what is going on in Washington, D.C. And just like the last Presidential election, there are many people who have vehement opinions about who is right and who is wrong. And rather than be lambasted for what I do or don't believe, I prefer to remain quiet on the (or any) subject. Call me Switzerland, call me an ostrich sticking my head into the sand, call me whatever you may like - just don't call me on the phone and ask my opinion. Because if it's different from yours and you take it personally, I certainly don't want to hear that.
Yes, I should probably be more dedicated to a cause. And when I find a cause that deeply moves me, I will be dedicated, possibly even erecting my own sign. Just don't bang me over the head with it if you disagree!
Today was a great day because: I deposited and picked up Everley at school; made some successful phone calls; found the numbers necessary to add flights to my American account

Once upon a time, there was a short Jewish man who wrote a very funny story aout two guys who were looking to put on the worst Broadway musical ever created...and tonight, on television, their star was born...
Ted's Idol Rankings
LaKisha: Great song selection, but is it me, or does she seem to be holding something back? Why not just let go? And why is it that her movements are basically restricted to spreading her arms out? There's absolutely no emotion in her face at all. And those breasts could feed a third world nation. 8.0
Chris Sligh: You now, every time I see Melinda, I think of Gladys Knight. And whenever I see Chris...well...
My god, I do miss good old Moose. She was a great sport, getting all that green slime dumped on her all the time. And by the way, did you know that Sting started out his career as sort of a lounge act, belting out Elton John songs?
Oh, his act? Yuck. 5.0
Gina: Clearly, this girl idolizes Chrissie Hynde, not Gwen Stefani. Which is not a bad thing. That first Pretenders album is still one of the best albums ever. Even so, why do all inexperienced singers choose the "jazz hands" option when the don't know what to do?
Sanjaya: Oh. My. God. Is he deliberately picking the worst song he could possibly sing? No wonder Gwen Stefani (who looked ADORABLE) was pissed that he was singing it. But then, to dress like a dancing pretzel and then sing like he's a lounge lizard on Prozac? Makes no sense. I think he secretly wants this national nightmare to end, and wishes desperately he could get voted off. 1.0
Hayley: Flaccid 5.5
Phil: He should wear a hat more often. He looked and sang like a star...and I don't usually like him. 7.5
Melinda: I think it's interesting that both Melinda and LaKisha sang Donna Summer songs. The common link provided a stark contrast outlining why Melinda is a far more accomplished performer than LaKisha. LaKisha totally lacks charisma, while Melinda makes a song her own, without one movement wasted. 9.0
Blake: Ladies and gentlemen! Presenting...Phil Collins singing The Cure! I'll pass. 6.5
Jordin: Eh. I didn't like it, much. And that outfit...I think someone's missing a blanket for their picnic!
Chris: Okay, look. Do these guys have any sense of excitement at all? I think they've all been neutered, frankly. There's no one testical amongst the lot of them. And I want this kid to have testicals, too! 6.5
The Winner (Once Again): Melinda

By Marcus Ma'at Atkins
"For Colored Girls" meets "Steel Magnolias" is a perfect way to describe ATL award winning-playwright and author Pearl Cledge'' play, ""A Song for Coretta."
Produced by the St. Louis Black Repertory Company for its 32nd Season, The Year of the Woman series and currently staged at the Grandel Square Theatre (3610 Grandel Square), "Coretta" is story inspired by the long line of mourners who came to the historical Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta in 2006 to pay their respects to Coretta Scott King. In the play, five African-American women, aged 17 to 57, whose lives were affected by Mrs. King, are among the mourners who come to pay their respects and the connections that they build with one another through King's memory and legacy.
Orginal cast member Frye in a moment.
"Coretta" is definitely an inspirational piece and plays more like a one act elegy to Coretta (hence the title) than a stage production. Directed by Black Rep actor Erik Kilpatrick, the characters are springboards to Cledge's obvious commentary on Coretta's influence on American history. The main character, Helen (played by ATL actor and original cast member Andre Frye) a Civil Rights era-born elder, represents the author's "womanist" message of how important Coretta's unsung work was in the Civil Rights Movement before and after her husband Dr. King's death . The other main character, Mona Lisa (played by Cathy Simpson), the Afro centric artist and Katrina survivor, expounded on the lesser known fact that Coretta sacrificed her dreams as an opera singer to join her husband in the Movement. Both actors (especially Frye's stoic portrayal) were the strongest and most believable of the cast.
Simpson and Lipede in a scene.
The highlight is when Simpson and Leah Stewart, who plays Gwen, the Iraqi soldier, goes into a powerful monologue "battle" and responds to each other's dilemma (Simpson's Hurricane Katrina story and Stewart's story of battle) and repeating several lines of each other's dialogue showing how both instances in American history have a tie to the social plights of African American people.
An interesting tidbit is the character Zora (played by "Sarafina" cast member Candice Jeanine, who plays the ATL college student journalist who is seeks to write a story about the funeral and interviews the women during their wait in line. Her name is obviously taken from the Harlem renaissance poetess Zora Neale Hurston and a mini-ode to her "under the radar" contribution to American arts.
Lipede in a monologue as Jeanine looks on.
The drawback, however was in the character Keisha (played by Rory Lipede), the spoiled ghetto girl who strolls a baby doll in a baby stroller. The character is played too ghettofied and over the top (Even to her eating potato chips to the extreme) to show the contrast to the other more dignified women. When it is discovered that Keisha is at the funeral to ask Coretta's permission to name her unborn daughter Coretta, it comes off not plausible and unrealistic in regards to her purpose at the funeral ( A better reason could have been she was just nosy ).
Another was there were no moments of "ancestral silence," sounds of spiritual grunts and chuckling from the older characters. That alone, could have made their characters more culturally in synch to the pathos of African-American women.
"Coretta" is definitely a must see. If anything, just to see the dynamics amongst the women and how they interact with one another—as well as the cast asking the audience to join in their singing "We Shall Overcome" during the play's finale.

I was trying to get a decent picture when the Sock Madness pattern came out. Don't ask my why I couldn't/can't get a good picture of these placemats. I don't know why. I can't even tell you why they don't look right, which is probably part of the problem. Anyway. Placemats. Springy Placemats.
Four of Springy Placemats. I started these a year ago. They got put aside by priority and fear of machine quilting. I know I stink at sewing straight, and cutting straight and drawing straight and so on. The quilting in a ditch and keeping in the ditch made me nervous. Also the cutting four rectangles for the middle and for the backs that were the same and squared made me nervous. I have since embraced the imperfections...or at least embraced the idea of embracing the imperfections.

Perhaps we should not be surprised that PM Narendra Modi has been having a tough go of it lately. On February 10th, Modi's BJP was trounced in the high-profile Delhi election by the anti-elite upstart AAP. The defeat was seen a partial critique of Modi's administration, although it is just in the first year of its mandate. Reforms have been too slow for business and the rising middle class but too fast and destabilizing for popular sectors. Now the budget appears to continue this overly cautious approach which tries to be all things to all people.
To some extent, the current malaise of the Modi government can be seen in the astrological alignments of the swearing-in chart. Mr. Modi was sworn-in at 6.13 p.m. on May 26th 2014. As I suggested in a post I made at the time, Modi was likely to suffer some kind of setback in early 2015 sometime between February and April. The key astrological feature in this regard was the Saturn retrograde station on March 14th.
Saturn is due to station and turn retrograde at 10 degrees of Scorpio which is almost exactly opposite the Sun (11 Taurus) in the swearing-in chart. Saturn aspects tend to favour caution over boldness so the budget may also be seen in that light. Saturn-Sun aspects are usually indicators of disappointment, failure, and loss. The loss to the AAP in Delhi in February effectively marked the end of the hope and euphoria of Modi's win the year before. Saturn, via the AAP, ended Modi's political honeymoon. Saturn was situated at 10 Scorpio 06 on Feb 10 just one degree from the natal Sun at 11 Taurus 14. Due to its slow velocity, Saturn had only moved to 10 Scorpio 46 on Budget Day thus reiterating an even closer affliction to the natal Sun.
On May 28th 2014, I wrote that this Saturn affliction to the Sun would likely reflect some big problems for Modi:
In terms of timing, the transit that stands out most is the Saturn retrograde station at 10 Scorpio in March 2015. Saturn will station in quite a close opposition to the Sun (11 Taurus) between February and April and may correspond with a significant setback, especially concerning Mr Modi himself, as the Sun symbolizes leaders.
The other source of his problems is that transiting Rahu (16 Virgo) is closely conjunct the natal Mars in this chart at 15 Virgo. Rahu-Mars tends to be more associated with sudden developments, especially those involving a sense of conflict, anger and violence. I'm not convinced the BJP Delhi defeat or the muted budget reaction is reflected in this transit. My sense is that the government may have further obstacles to overcome in the months of March and April that are more in keeping with the symbolism of Mars. It could be some political dispute that arises from the budget or it could even be some significant act of violence in the country. Although Saturn will gradually back away from its aspect with the Sun after March 14th, Rahu stations at 15-16 Virgo until May and will only be just one degree past in June. The next two to three months may therefore prove to be quite challenging on several fronts for the Modi government.
Weekly Financial Update
After the budget drama, Indian stocks were modestly higher last week as the BSE-Sensex closed up less than 1% at 29,361. US Stocks were largely flat despite more testimony from Fed Chair Yellen that she was in no rush to hike interest rates. The Dow finished at 18,132. I had been fairly non-committal last week although I noted the likelihood of a favorable reaction to the Indian budget on Saturday. The early week Saturn aspects were only mildly bearish with Monday's Sun-Saturn square being the worst. Jupiter is likely one of the key influences keeping sentiment as positive as it is at the moment.
But this week could see some important developments as Jupiter's bullish aspect with Uranus will exactly culminate its 120 degree angle on Tuesday. Bullish Venus conjoins Uranus on Wednesday while the Sun aligns with Jupiter-Uranus on Thursday. There are a high density of aspects in play this week which could magnify trading outcomes both in terms of size and significance. Mars also conjoins Ketu (South Lunar Node) on Wednesday and Thursday so that introduces an element of the unexpected and the unwanted. It could turn out to be quite a week. The main question is: what happens to the market after Jupiter starts to separate from its angle with Uranus this week?

Behaviour order for pig farmer
A NORFOLK PIG farmer has been made the subject of an anti-social behaviour order because his free-range pigs keep getting out, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The farmer, Brian Hagen, must stop his pigs and geese getting out before 10 January, otherwise he could be prosecuted and face a financial penalty.
ASBOs, as they have become known, are usually reserved for unruly teenagers and offending youths.
Mr Hagen told the court that he had since repaired the fence in order to stop the pigs breaking free.
"I thought anti-social behaviour orders were for kids, not pigs," Mr Hagen told the paper.
"I've had pigs for 44-years and never been in trouble before. If you understand pigs you know that once they get out they will keep trying to get out," he added.
Police will now check the fence is suitable to keep the pigs from escaping again. If they are satisfied the ASBO will be rescinded.

Introduction to Sociology
To begin, symbolic interactionist study how people use symbols to develop their views of the world and to communicate with one another. Symbolic interactionist analyze how our behaviors depend on the ways we define ourselves and others. Everything is a symbol and without symbols humans would be no more advanced than the animals that surround them. The next sociological perspective is functional analysis. The central idea of functional analysis is that society is one "whole" unit made up of interrelated parts that work together in harmony. This perspective means that society is composed of many different parts, in which, each part has a role to fulfill in order for society to function normally. There are three types of functions: manifest, latent, and dysfunctions. The manifest functions are deliberate actions that help the system. Latent functions are unexpected functions that help the system. The last function of functional analysis is dysfunctional function. These functions are damaging but, inevitable to society. The third sociological perspective is conflict theory. This perspective on social life basically means that society is composed of competition. This competition or conflict is not always expressed, but it just lies beneath the surface waiting to sprout at a moments notice. When I think about conflict theory I tend to think of the old cliché, "Survival of the fittest."
There are basic assumptions involved for each of the sociological perspectives. The basic assumption of symbolic interactionists is assuming that everything in society is a symbol. Our aunts, uncles, cousins, employers, teachers …everything! These symbols we use are what make us a civilized society. The key terms used to remember when speaking about symbolic interactionism are: symbols, interaction, meanings, and definitions. The assumption of functional analysis is that society...

The Communication Management programme offers different subjects focusing on diverse paths of communication management. It offers systematic knowledge of modern communication theories, methods and applications. The programme creates opportunities not only to design and manage communication, and not only to solve problems innovatively by using analytical thinking, scientific knowledge and the best international practice, but also to conduct research and find applications for research results in various fields of communication. The international staff members share their experiences and bring students closer to the real experience of jobs.
Different students might be interested in this programme. For example those who desire to become creative thinkers, able to produce innovative solutions in the field of communication management. Covering a wide range of different but interconnected subjects, this programme best suits the needs of those interested in communication, marketing, sociology, intercultural communication and general humanities. Young people who wish to live abroad or to work in community development projects might also find that this programme suits their needs.
Our programme involves more than mere communicating with people. It analyses, in depth, the fundamental role of communication and helps to explain the process of communication. The subjects offered show that there are different perspectives, modes and means of communication. Our programme supports cultural and ethical values; its special focus is on Intercultural Communication, not only dealing with people with diverse cultural backgrounds, but also with people of different ages, genders, social classes etc. The specialisation module includes courses that prepare the individual for leadership in any corporate multinational or transnational organisation through a deep knowledge of the relationship between globalisation, identity, society and culture.
The aim of the programme is to educate specialists who are able to implement ICT solutions to management processes of enterprises and thus help companies to grow through more added value created.

Food fans, it's once again time for me to offer my apologies for leaving you dining alone for an extended time. I last served you a new post 66 days ago, leaving you to face a devilish stretch of winter with no intellectual nourishment. I am sorry.
I could offer you a large menu of excuses: Winter blahs, a job hunt siphoning my time or just general holiday business. But excuses are like The Who singing at halftime of the Superbowl -- no one wants to hear them, and they get old rapidly.
While you are, no doubt, a polite reading public willing to grant me some weeks for R&R, you needed some food critique to guide you through the long holiday months. At very least you deserved a repost of last year's Super Bowl special and the Bacon Explosion before this year's big game. And I'm sure everyone could have stood to reread my pontifications on ham while planning this year's Christmas dinner.
I promise to make it up to you. Today I'll start with a review of Denny's free Grand Slam breakfast. After you've had time to digest that we'll move on to a review of Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets. And I'm in the process of preparing the annual Spork Awards for 2009 -- better late than never, I always say. The way back into your hearts is through your stomachs, and I'm ready to start making up.
Denny's Free Grand Slam
I wasn't alone in following up on Sunday's Super Bowl ads and ordering my free breakfast at Denny's. The restaurant Tuesday was full of folks ordering the free Grand Slam breakfasts, which consist of two eggs, two sausage links, two bacon strips and two flapjacks.
Seeing identical breakfast foods on every table in the restaurant was downright creepy, similar to seeing 40 men in matching suits walking toward you. It makes you think you're headed for the funny farm.
If it was the funny farm, it wasn't the freshest farm. My sausage links and eggs had an extra-processed quality to them that screamed "impending heart attack." That's not a bad thing from a taste standpoint, but I was worried I was dumping enough extra preservatives into my digestive tract to keep my stomach around for the benefit of future generations.
The same can be said for the bacon, but I refuse to criticize bacon for having preservatives. It is, after all, bacon. What I will criticize my bacon for is its limpness. Surely Denny's could have crisped it up a bit.
By contrast my pancakes were beyond reproach, packing a good balance of fluffiness and butteriness. My only complaint is that I was given a dinky container of syrup. A few ounces was not enough to cover the broad stretch of flapjack on my plate.
I must pick one final nit. My food was served merely warm. On a related note, my service was fairly slow. It's a small complaint considering the restaurant was busy and giving me free food, but worth noting nonetheless.
So it's time to rank the free breakfast. The price was right. The food was decent. Sounds like five sporks to me.
The rating would, of course, be a little different if I had to pay for the meal. I'll try to do that at some point for the sake of future generations.

Knowledge-Based Search Engine
The internet never ceases to amaze me and they are coming up with incredible, new things all the time. However, this one really raised my eyebrows.
WolframAlpha (funny name huh?) is a new type of search engine. It's sort of like a cross between Wikipedia and Google – but much smarter.
WolframAlpha uses a new type of knowledge-based computing to come up with answers on an incredible amount of subjects – ranging from mathematical and financial, to dates in history and a whole lot more.
And unlike Google which offers thousands and sometimes millions of pages when you search on keywords – WolframAlpha simply supplies you with a single definitive answer to a question. In other words, it doesn't just look for pages on the web, like Google, it searches its information knowledge base to provide you with answers to your questions!
Click on the link below to watch a brief introduction before you start using it.
Then play around with it. It's amazing what it can tell you. Save this site in your favourites – it may come in very handy!
Until next time – good luck with your business!

Dear, Dearest Family and Friends,
First of all, What kind of mother forgets to announce the Birthday of her third (I know, I know, the middle child thing), and by his own admission, most perfect child! Last Sunday was Matt's birthday, and we did talk to him, but I did not announce it to the whole world. We won't talk about how old he is because it makes me feel old. Now, this Sunday is Emily's birthday, she is NOT a middle child, but she is also quite perfect!!! And since she is the eldest of our children, we would never admit to her age. It is very nice that 4 of our children decided to have birthdays just a week apart (the other 2 are in December)because their old mama's brain can use all the help it can get! Happy Birthday to you two perfectly wonderful children!!!! I also received a birthday present this week. Now, my birthday is the first of August, and before that Widap asked Elder to confiscate one of my blouses because she and the Catur family wanted to have a Batik blouse made for me that matches a Batik shirt they had made for Elders birthday. (Tailored clothing is very inexpensive here). So, I gave him one I don't wear to often, which was wise.... because this week they presented me with my gift. I wore it to church today and Widap, Monique, and Yvonne were sooooo excited. They had me model it for their mom and family. They are soooooooooooooo fun!!!!!
Second, we would like to thank all those who have been praying for Boyalali! Kini and Markini are still doing wonderfully, and now Elders Yim and Mendrofa have an investigator who was introduced to the church a while ago, in fact she used to ride a neighbor's bicycle an hour to come to Solo to church. Then the neighbor moved, so she became lost. But the Elders happened on to her while looking for someone else. She came running down the street after them!!! THEN, last week an investigator from Solo told Elders Fisher and Suryono that he had shown some friends his Book of Mormon and they were very interested, 8 of them ALL from Boyalali. We are looking into how to manage all this, because they would all have to ride a bus to get to church here in Solo. But it seems as if the Lord is very interested in that beautiful little community. We had to change our day for taking the missionaries there because Preparation Day was changed from Wednesday to Monday. So now we have Thursday as our Boyalali Day. It may be that the Elders will have to take a bus there, or have just one set have a Boyalali Day. We can't fit 3 sets in our car! Anyway, we will have some heavenly help solving these problems, we are sure. Thank you again, there has been a lot of prayers and fasting for these people. We love them!
Months ago, we began a project to clean up the Young Single Adult Roles for the 4 Wards in Solo. All four wards ended up with a list of 15 or so people each that we gave to the Wards for rescue because they were married. We have been working with the Young Missionaries to find these young marrieds and see what is going on. Some have been gone since they were children, and are attending other churches. Some are tentative, but a few have opened their doors. We have also been working with members "who know", to find out locations and histories on some of these names. It has been an interesting week in that regard. We are so grateful for our glorious Solo missionaries. We have been hearing about how the Missionary Age Announcement at General Conference has changed the lives of prospective missionaries here in Solo, and in the families of the missionaries serving here. It has not affected the Young Men in Indonesia, Indonesian Elders were already serving at 18. But it will affect the Sisters.
This week Elder Greenway was part of a teleconference from SLC concerning PEF. It was held at 7:00 a.m. our time on Thursday. He learned there will be some major changes in the PEF Program in the coming year. Afterward, he and I talked about Pres. Hinckley's vision of this amazing program. These new changes will definitely build on that vision. One of the announcements made was to strongly encourage the Native Missionaries in foreign countries to diligently learn English, before, during, and after their missions. PEF workers have found that in foreign countries those who know English are more likely to be hired to most positions, than those who do not know English. In our mission, the English Elders are paired with the Indonesian Elders. It is mutually beneficial. I imagine it is like that all over the world. We are so grateful for PEF. It is working well in Solo. We have many new students attending University. We are so blessed to have Prophets and Apostles to show us the way to better lives. We will be attending an All Indonesian Young Single Adult Conference this next Thursday - Saturday, and Zone Conference with the Area President on Tuesday. We are all so blessed to have the gift of the Gospel in our lives. We'll be anxious to report in our next letter.
Finally, we just returned from the YM-YW/YSA Choir Practice tonight. That is the reason the letter is late getting out. I think I told you we are Singing three songs: "Because I Have Been Given Much", "Gethsemane", and "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go"/"The Olive Tree" medley. We cannot find words to describe the feelings that come as we work with and enjoy the Spirit of these fine young Indonesians. All the songs are powerful, and they sing them with such thought, and take instruction so well. We just bask in their amazing "fine-ness" We have often wished you could be here to listen to their music. In the "Olive Tree" there is a moment when they sing "It's our time to serve and bring new life, to a waiting, waiting world in need." When they sing those words, "It's our time..." I just fill up with their glory, because it is their time. We talked about it, and they understand, and are doing their best to be ready. We are so blessed, we are so blessed!
Well, have a wonderful week!!!! We pray for you each day. We hope you will continue to remember Boyalali, and missionaries all over the world. Goodness sake October is almost gone.... time is flying by... toooooo fast! Take all the time you need to love one another.
Happy Birthday Golden Girl,
Elder dan Sister Greenway

Rajarshi Chhatrapati ShahuJi Maharaj was king of the Indian princely State of Kolhapur known to be a great social reformer of his time. Shahu Ji was a staunch follower of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and great admirer of Dr B.R. Ambedkar. Shahu Ji belonged to Oil presser "Teli" caste but devoted his life for the upliftment of the Dalit society. He challenge the Brahmanical supremacy in administration and on 26th July 1902 by sanctioning 50% Reservation for the backward Classes in Kohlapur StateServices This was against the tough opposition from upper caste Brahmin Ministers who numbered over 98% in administration against 3% share in population of Brahmins in the state. He assertedhis full authority over his kingdom and took a number of welfare schemes for the depressed class peoples As per his renowned biographer Shri A.B. Latthe "He was greatest Maharaja that ever sat on the thrown of Kohlapur and one of the powerful men that the nation ever produced in its long& Brilliant history". Chhatarpati Sahu Ji Maharaj's concern for good administration can be judged from his statement "Although I am on the throne of Kohlapur, I feel proud to call myself as solider, farmer or labourer . while addressing meeting in Madras he said " I am here not as king but friend to those whose pitiable condition shall melt even a stone hearted person . He passed laws to allow training of non-Brahmin men as temple priests along with declaring religious places properties as Kohlapur State properties. He ordered that the appointment of Shankaachariyas in future shall be with Kohlapur State authority. He abolished Kulkarni system and appointed Kshatra Jagadguru ringing a bell of reasons and secularism for His subjects. He approved conducting of marriages with out a Brahmin priest. He promoted inter caste marriages among his subjects. However it created ill will towards Maharaja by irrational thinking superstitious Brahmins who were supported by Lokmanya Tilak and some others. While opposing right of higher Education to Bachward Classes, Tilak is on record to have said in one of his speech dated 11November,1917( Javatmal Maharathtra) " would the tailors use sewing machine, the peasants their plough and the merchants the scale of balance in the council" Tilak & congress party was for the Bachward classes peopled to follow their ancestral trades, where only elementary education needed. Determined to implement his egalitarian thoughts so was prepared to face all his adversaries opposing them. On 15 April,1920 Chhatarpati Sahu Ji Maharaj replied thus to Tilak, " Tilak would have been ashamed of expressing such thoughts in his speech Brahmin V/s Brahmantra. Tilak advised untouchables not to take secondary education after primary educatioin. He wanted them to learn them to learn the crafts of their castes, thus he believed in constitution of the caste profession for the untouchables and not in giving them the higher education to them "However Maharaja was not against Brahmins but Brahmanism and Brahmanical ways and their half hearted reforms. so many good hearted Brahmins like V.D. Topkhane, Gopal Krishan Gokhale, Rajaram Shastri supported the progressive efforts.
Shahu Ji was born on 26 July in the year 1874 as Yeshwantrao Ghatge. He was the eldest son of Narayan Dinkarrao Ghatke also called Appasaheb Ghatge and his wife Radhabai,. Narayan Dinkarrao Ghatke was the head of Kagal and his wife was the daughter of the Raja of Mudhol that's in today's Karnataka state.. Narayan Dinkarrao Ghatke was Regent to Kohlapur State, so lived in Laxminivas Palace in Kohlapur where Yeshwantrao Ghatge was born.
Sahu Ji Maharaj lost his father at the age of 12 years and his mother when he was only three years. Shahu received his earlier education under the care of his father. As luck would have it Yeshwantrao Ghatge when a child of only 10 years, he was adopted by Anandibai, the widow of Chhatarpati Maharaja Shivaji IV ( Narayanarao) of Kolhapur on March 17th, 1884. He ascended to the throne of Kohlapur Chhatrapati and was given the name as Chhatar Pati Sahu Ji Maharaj. Grown up Sahu Ji Maharaj was over five feet and nine inches in height and bore majestic appearance of a real Maratha king. Wrestling was one of the favorite sports of Chhatrapati
Shahu Ji Maharaj was married to Laxshmibaisaheba on 1st, April1891 then only 11 years old bride. She was daughter of a Maratha nobleman Shri Meharban Gunajirao Khanvilkar from Baroda having blood relation with Chhatrapati of Satara .Sahu couple was blessed with four children.
The Maharaj came in cotact with Dr B.R. Ambedkar when they were introduced by Dattoba Pawar and Dittoba Dalvi (artist) and their association lost till the sudden end of shahu Ji Maharaj in 1922. Sahu Ji was greatly impressed by his revolutionary ideas. Maharaj Ji always lent helping hands by all means to any body from untouchables found in distress. He met Dr B.R. Ambedkar a number of times during 1917-1921. When Dr Ambedkar expressed his desire to start a fortnightly newspaper to bring about an awakening among Dalits Sahu Ji Maharaj denoted Rs2,500.00 for this noble cause. Dr Ambedkar started "Mooknayak" (Leader of the Dumb) on 31st January ,1920. Also when Dr Ambedkar faced financial problems in completion of his for studies in September 1921. Sahu Ji sent Rs750.00 with assurance to Dr Ambedkar that he can write for any such help to him any time. Again Sahu Ji Maharaj sent a cheque worth Rs1500.00 to Dr Ambedkar at his London address on 5th October 1921. WhenMooknayak landed in financial distressed Shahu Ji Maharaj pulled it out by donating Rs750.00 in January 1921and Rs1000.00 on 21st Febuary,1921. The first conference of untouchables was organized under leadership of Shahu Ji Maharaj (21-22 March) 1920 at Mangaon Kohlapur , Dr Ambedkar was Chairman. The Maharaja told the gathering that they had found a leader in Dr Ambedkar who will work for their amelioration.
Shahu Ji Maharaj's qualities of head and heart earned him honorary LLD from Cambridge University and ; G.C.S.I; G.C.V.O; G.C.I.E; titles from Queen Victoria, Duke of Co naught & Empiral Darbar Respectively. As per the law of the nature who so ever has born is to die. Some people live for others and they are remembered ages after their demise. Satarpati Ji Maharaj suddenly passed away on 6th May, 1922 at a prime age of 48 years. He has left indelible mark in the history of India. He worked with dedication, strength, intelligent and exerted his authority despite many hurdles. He shall go in the history of Indian Dalit empowerment

Head: ARAH Gristle
Arms: NS Nunchuk
Upper torso: 25A Roadblock
Waist, legs: Star Wars- Baron Fel
Webgear: Marvel- Captain America: The First Avenger- Hydra Soldier
One of the sad, sad GI Joe Extreme characters. The parts, except for the head, were junk pieces that floated around in the parts bin until I started thinking about going through the GI Joe Extreme and Screaming Eagle rosters. This figure is mostly based on the second version of Metalhead, combined with the arms of the second.
The stupid ponytail of the Gristle head replaces the equally stupid windswept hair of either of the Kenner Metalhead figures.
Colors & Paint:
Based on the second Kenner action figure.
If ever there's been a GI Joe character with an addiction to spray tanning, it's Metalhead. To give him the not-quite-natural skin tone, the base color for the skin is khaki, with a slight orange wash over it. To make the colors a bit more tolerable the bright yellow of the Kenner figure's web gear has been replaced with a paler tint.
Sculpting & Modifying:
The head is cast, with the spit curl and neck removed. The torso (to the belt line) is from a 25A Roadblock and wasn't long enough, so I built up a "spine" and then surrounded it with epoxy to fill the gap. Likewise, the mid-torso articulation point on many of the early 25A figure is horrible, so I also filled that gap with epoxy for a more fluid look.
Thanks for looking.

Over the weekend, we told readers about Olympus' prototype Open Platform Camera, a hacker-friendly project that the company has shown at Hackathon events in Japan. Based around a Micro Four Thirds lens-style camera that's supported by both an SDK and 3D models that allow it to be incorporated into larger projects, the project appealed to our inner geeks, and doubly so the availability of the 3D models.
As it happens, IR founder Dave Etchells recently built a 3D printer of his own from a kit supplied by the good folks at SeeMeCNC….

Never mind that reducing medical lawsuits is a rare reform provision that really would reduce health-care costs. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the savings at $54 billion over a decade. Consulting firm Tillinghast Towers-Perrin has suggested the direct cost of medical tort litigation is more like $30 billion annually. PriceWaterhouseCoopers estimates that last year $240 billion in health expenditures were the result of doctors ordering unnecessary procedures to protect against the risk of lawsuits.This is another one of those things President Obama said he would do & didn't. As in, he said he would introduce tort reform as one piece of his overall healthcare reform, but the legislation leaving the House includes, per the article above, a proviso that will actually undermine existing state tort law.
I get it. I really do. Obama and his Democrat friends are just paying back one of their biggest campaign cash cows--trial lawyers.
Kind of like with Card Check and the Unions.
And cap & trade and the Climate-Industrial Complex.
And I don't even really blame my friends in the legal profession who are opposed to tort reform. I understand that by opposing any check on their ability to litigate, they are only acting in their self interest.
Don't blame Obama, Democrats, & trial lawyers, blame the system.

Minor Augury
PUKHRAYAN, India/NEW DELHI, Asia (Reuters) - at the least 119 individuals were murdered and more than 150 wounded when an Indian express-train derailed in upper state of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, using the cost set-to surge amid a scramble to discover children. Her weddingdress to the ill-fated & feckless Charles was fairly amazing too-(& not really a hoop in sight). While we think of them in drained old traditional Velvets, rethink your Grandmother's-or Aunt Pittypatis in a vibrant chintz with painted frames lacquered in reddish-violet-or green-possibly white might do. Contemplate an Indian cutwork Lace to revise the windows of Pittypat, Schumacher has one I've employed over & over. China have already been holding shares around the purchase for a lot more than two years.
The deal will be included in a memorandum of comprehension to become closed to Saturday from Friday during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Japan, the Nikkei claimed, citing the administrators. I enjoy our range of camaraderie needed origin from a Flickr photography group that grown pre wedding videos to add siblings and schoolmates. Recovery officials with orange lids worked their approach through the crowds, as competitors battled to get rid of the derailed wagons in the songs, one of the major transportation routes for goods and people, holding patients from the wreckage.
The offer is going to be included in a memorandum of understanding to become signed to Wednesday from Thursday during Prime Minister Narendra Modiis visit to Asia, the Nikkei explained, stating the authorities. I enjoy which our range of camaraderie required origin from the Flickr photography party that enhanced to add schoolmates and siblings. Relief officers with yellow lids worked their means as clubs struggled to remove the wagons in the tracks, one of the key transport channels for items and people in northern India, holding subjects in the wreckage.

Delta ensures your puppy's travel will be safe with their personalized service pet care every step of your puppy's journey.
As your Breeder, we will offer
You will get GPS tracking for the best transparency during shipping.
According to Delta, the GPS features:
We do however prefer that you fly here to pick up your puppy and then fly back home with your puppy instead of the puppy flying by itself, your choice. The closest airport to our location is the Redmond Airport.
When clicking the "More" link above, scroll down to where it says "Delta Pet Travel" and if you have been given access to this information, simply enter your email address and scroll down to where it says "Travel with your pet state to state." This will explain the necessary protocols we must follow in shipping your puppy to you. If you're one who is still hesitant about the travels of your puppy this way, according to Puppy Spot........
Most pet-related travel incidents are related to pets who already had a medical condition, or were traveling in a crate that did not meet the airline's requirements. Millions of pets travel safely in airplane cargo compartments each year."
New products are coming soon!
Welcome to Central Oregon Aussies, (COA). Our luxury but practical home style kennel is located in beautiful Central Oregon where the city was once named "Dog Town U.S.A." by Dog Fancy Magazine. The Pierce's along with their daughter Kylie McClain (Kyvette Aussies who has her own separate kennel) are small "Australian Shepherd Hobby Breeders" priding themselves in brains, beauty and genetically sound Aussies while also adhering to ASCA's breeding standards.
Our practical home style kennel, focus's on the genetic testing of our breeding stock along with annual eye exams by an Ophthalmologist and obtaining (x-ray's) for any possible Hip Dysplasica (HD) or Elbow Dysplasia to then be sent off to the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA) for their observation and test results.
For Buyers, it is good to know that (HD) is a disease commonly perceived to be a disorder of larger dogs like the Australian Shepherd. Even if both the Sire (father) or the Bitch (mother) of your puppy is clear of (HD), this only means your puppy is highly unlikely to get the disease. It does not mean that they are 100% clear of the disease or that they will not get the disease at all. The best we can do as a responsible breeder is to monitor our stock by teaming up with our partners at (OFA). As a newer breeder, we will be able to identify our lines natural traits over time. Our very first litter to our kennel was the "The Black Tri Affair" born May 3, 2018...a Smarty and Roxy cross but will only be sold on Limited Registrations and registered through ASCA only! The foundation of our kennel (in where those lines will continue) will begin with the Smarty and Roxy Litter as we plan to work on titling this line ourselves to prove their overall beauty, performance and intelligence. We of course are always looking for a performance homes with their litter in which we can help guide you in gaining their titles. Then UKC Tri-Smith's Paint The Town DNA-VP and a future Bitch (who has not been purchased yet) and Tri-Smith's Lake Over In Georgia "Towanda" and a (Hired Stud who we have not yet determined) puppies will be sold on both Limited and Full Registrations, but only the Tri-Smith lines of our kennel for now.
In order to provide our dogs the space they need, we had to convert our family room into a luxury but practical home style kennel that is completely functional for mamma and her puppies along with it being functional for the rest of the pack as well. We do eventually plan to purchase acreage and build a new home but until then, this works. All of our breeding stock are raised in our home and not outside in kennels. While mamma and puppies have their own space, the other pack can come and go as they please as they all have access to their adjoining outdoor play area with a swimming pool (for those hot summer days) and being able to also come back inside as well to take a nap or to check out what's going on in the kennel area if we have a litter on the ground at that time. In the winter, we drain our swimming pool of its water and replace it with a Christmas Tree so our dogs can enjoy the festive holidays of Christmas with us outdoors as this is our favorite time of year in sharing with each other.
We would like to bring to the attention of any buyer thinking about purchasing a puppy from our kennel that many buyers have the color combination or eye color of the Aussie they have in mind in advance. You would be surprised that this is really NOT the way to pick out your puppy. You want to pick a puppy that is going to fit your lifestyle, NOT by choosing it's coat or eye color. You can certainly let us know what you would prefer, but just know that this is NOT the best way in picking out your puppy. Here at Central Oregon, when puppies reach 4 weeks of age, you will be invited in our home to visit all of the puppies so that you can get a better sense of how different each one is. If you are unable to visit them at that time, no worries as we will have weekly videos on our website for you to follow in watching them grow before they head off to their forever home with you.
Puppies will be sold on either Limited or Full Registrations. Limited Registrations, buyers will be required to spay or neuter the puppy at no earlier than 10 months of age and or no later than 2 years old. Through the support of our mentors with our Tri-Smith lines, we will offer Full Registrations but on "Co-Ownership contracts only! We understand we are a newer breeder while also understanding that we must prove ourselves, which we plan to do over time. Breeders purchasing on a "Co-Ownership" contract must actively campaign the dog in pursuit of its AKC/ASCA and or /UKC Championship.
The puppy you choose will come to you tested through a practice known as Volhards "Puppy Aptitude Test." This test will also help you better decide which puppy would be the best fit for your family and life style. What we do is we will add up the puppies entire score and average it out for you. Puppies averaging in the 3's are the perfect pet with high energy, good with people, needs lots of exercise and of course always training in obedience. An average score of even 4.2 would be the perfect pet. Any score creeping in the 4.7 average range, would be a perfect puppy for an elderly person with no children as this puppy would be more shy and fearful that needs a home where environment does not change. If you are interested more about the Volhards "Puppy Aptitude Test" simply google it or head on over to www.youtube.com and search for it, as you will find it there.
The puppies will be ready to head home at 9 weeks of age and will of had all of their vaccinations done at that time and will be micro-chipped as well. We do expect you to take your puppy to your veterinarian within 72 hours after you receive your puppy for it's overall health check. If the puppy is going out of state, we will get the health check done for you which will be valid for only 10 days. Please follow your Veterinarians recommendations at that time.
In general, the focus and goal of our kennel besides priding ourselves with brains, beauty, and genetically sound Australian Shepherds while also adhering to ASCA's breeding standards, is to also focus on titling our dogs as well. Titling our dogs shows their overall performance abilities, gives them a lifestyle they love and showing their bid-ability, and it's fun!
Central Oregon also focuses on temperament, soundness & versatility as well. We are always striving to meet breeding standard excellence and will always be here for every buyer that purchases from our kennel throughout your puppies lifetime. We will be here to answer any questions you have or for any support you may need at anytime. Purchasing one of our puppies, we consider you family and welcome you to our pack!
If you're looking for a pure breed Australian Shepherd, you too can help with the over population of dogs by only supporting a responsible "hobbyist" breeder, breeding Standard Australian Shepherds or.....you can choose to support a puppy mill who has many litters per year which makes it obvious they are only in it to generate income due to greed. This type of breeder is NOT helping with the over population of dogs we already have, so by you making the right choice in where you purchase your next puppy makes a huge difference if you're really looking for a quality dog.
We look forward to you making the right choice by purchasing from our kennel, why?
1. We focus on improving the bred by following ASCA's breeding standards.
2. We focus on annual eye exams conducted by an Ophthalmologist with ALL of our breeding stock and the results are made available on our website anytime you wish to take a look.
3. We participate in ASK & TELL in supporting Toby's foundation of ANY of our dogs who test negative on various diseases so that they can record that information as it's important in recording if a breeder is truly focused on keeping our breed as healthy as possible. If a breeder does not know what this is, consider it a red flag!
4. We do ALL the genetic panels testings with Paw Print Genetics on ALL of our breeding stock for the common genetic inheritable diseases that the Australian Shepherds can inherit. So that our buyers are well informed of any possible genetic issues your puppy may encounter down the road. According to Lisa Shaffer (CEO) with Paw Print Genetics - "If a breeder does not do genetic testing on their dogs, how do they know what they have?"
Central Oregon has adjusted their overall breeding program to include the Tri-Smith Aussies as the foundation to our breeding program. We will offer both limited and full registrations for the Tri-Smith lines.
The Smarty & Roxy Litters will be sold on Limited Registrations only. We are hoping for as many litters as we can with this cross until we eventually can obtain a well sound Bitch with excellent temperament to add to our overall breeding program. Roxy, as with any Bitch will be spayed when she can no longer handle any more litters. We will always do what is best for the dog when it comes to breeding. The cross between these two dogs is outstanding and we could not be any happier with what they both produced so far with their first litter. Roxy is a solid dog with her best feature being her chest and Smarty has already proven himself as it's shown throughout his titles and pedigree.
5. We get ALL of our dogs OFA'd for both hips and elbows for any possible "Hip" and or "Elbow Dysplasia." The best any breeder can do is at least test for dysplasia and if a test comes back as positive to the disease, then the responsible thing to do would be to either spay/neuter the dog.
6. We love, care and treat ALL of our dogs as our family. We have placed lots of thought, time and finances to create the best living space we can create for them with what we have. Many hours are spent and other people involved in helping us create their perfect paradise. We do feel we have a functional set up that allows them to come and go as they please as we have a doggy door they run in and out of all the time from the kennel room to the doggy play area outside that is completely fenced in. The kennel area is filled with sand that is kept up throughout the day as needed to maintaining its cleanliness which provide them a fun active lifestyle they all can enjoy. Our home here is temporary until we are able to purchase a farm in the near future. Then this home will be made available on the airbnb website for those who come down to our area for any of the AKC and or ASCA venues looking for a place to stay. It's the perfect dog house.
Our current breeding stock:
1. Sire: UKC Champion Tri-Smith Paint the Town DNA-VP "Griffiti." Avail for Stud to approved Bitches.
2. Dam: IABCA IntCH Roxy Pierce DNA-VP.
3. Dam: Tri-Smith Lake Over In Georgia "Towanda." 2/2020
It is our responsibility to educate potential buyers about the rise or movement to breed miniature and toy "versions" of the Australian shepherd in that they are crossbred designer dogs bred solely for profit.
Are NOT recognized OR considered varieties of the Australian Shepherd by the following organizations. They may be able to enter e.g., With AKC, as a mixed breed dog would need to enroll into their "Canines Partner Program." but it doesn't mean just because they are in AKC event that they are Australian Shepherds.
Since these dogs are NOT AKC, UKC, ASCA or CKC they cannot be verified as purebred, and therefore are not considered Australian shepherds!
Both my husband and I are hobby breeders breeding beautiful Australian Shepherds in Bend Oregon. We both enjoy our life together raising these beautiful dogs and watching them grow and being part of the Australian Shepherd community while also actively campaigning our breeding stock as well.
My husband is already retired from one career he spent 30 years at. After his retirement we moved to Bend, Oregon from Portland, Oregon to retire. He soon realized the need for Bus Drivers within our new community so he decided to work for the Bend/Lapine School District.
With the support of my husband, I'm also retired and fortunate enough to be a stay at home dog Mom raising the bred we both love while also having an active lifestyle with our breeding stock.
We are not a breeder who breeds for profit by having many litters down on the ground available for buyers to buy due to demand. Our integrity as a Breeder is extremely important to us by focusing on breeding for the better while also producing a well rounded balanced dog with great temperament and structure. Our dogs are great companions while also having strong herding and guardian instincts. We also provide all of our buyers a lifetime of breeder support!

There are millions of unique species on earth, and each year scientists encounter hundreds of previously unknown animals. Most of them have existed for years without us knowing about them, and maybe for a good reason too because some of these beings are utterly terrifying and just plain creepy.
We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of the most bizarre of these little-known creatures.
From alien-looking moths to extremely ugly fish, you're going to be surprised that these animals actually inhabit the same planet as us!
Scroll below to delve into the mysterious world of mother nature.
#1 Venezuelan Poodle Moth
Discovered in Venezuela in 2009, this new species of alien-looking moth has poodle-like fur covering its head, thorax, abdomen, and even its wings.
#2 Red-Lipped Batfish
Found on the Galapagos Islands, this fish is actually a pretty bad swimmer, and uses its pectoral fins to walk on the bottom of the ocean.
#3 Glaucus Atlanticus
Also known as the blue dragon, this creature is a is a species of blue sea slug. You could find it in warm waters of the oceans, as it floats on the surface because of a gas-filled sac in its stomach.
#4 Dumbo Octopus
Dumbo octopus is an umbrella octopus found all around the world. Its name comes from Disney's "Dumbo" because of the creature's ears bearing similarity to the movies' title character.
#5 Tufted Deer
Found in central China, the tufted deer is a small species of deer characterized by a prominent tuft of black hair on its forehead and fang-like canines for the males. It is a timid, mainly solitary creature, that sometimes lives in pairs and enjoys living in areas with good cover.
I love that someone looked at this deer and said "we should name it for the hair on its head. It's not like it has any other distinguishing characteristics."
#6 Atretochoana Eiselti Or 'Penis Snake'
Atretochoana eiselti is a species of caecilian with a broad, flat head and a fleshy dorsal fin on the body. Although it is not a snake, it's been called a 'penis snake' in the media.
#7 Lowland Streaked Tenrec
Found in Madagascar, Africa, this small tenrec is the only mammal known to use stridulation for generating sound – something that's usually associated with snakes and insects.
#8 Blue Parrotfish
This bright blue fish can be found in shallow water in the tropical and subtropical parts of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. They spend 80 percent of their time searching for food and eat small organisms found in the sand and algae that they scrape off rocks.
I don't support hunting cause it's mean and brutal yeah it's for survival but I don't think killing is always the answer
#9 Macropinna Microstoma
Macropinna microstoma is a species of fish that lives at a depth of about 600 metres (2,000 ft) to 800 metres (2,600 ft), hanging nearly motionless in the water. It is quite unusual with a transparent, fluid-filled dome on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen.
#10 Panda Ant
Despite looking like an ant and being referred as such, it is in fact a form of wingless wasp. This insect is also known as cow-killer. Females possess thicker fur but lack wings. The furry panda ant lives for about 2 years.
#11 Star-Nosed Mole
A a small mole found in wet low areas in the northern parts of North America, Star-nosed mole is easily identifiable by its snout which is used as a touch organ with more than 25,000-minute sensory receptors. Named Eimer's organs, the receptors are great at deteting seismic waves.
It literally looks like it's head was cut off and it just… stayed alive… like that.
#12 Japanese Spider Crab
The Japanese spider crab lives in the waters near Japan and has the largest leg span of any arthropod, reaching up to 5.5 metres (18 ft). Despite looking ferocious, the crab has been reported to have a gentle disposition.
#13 Sea Pig
Scotoplanes are sea cucumbers that live on deep ocean bottoms, specifically on the abyssal plain in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, typically at depths of over 1000 meters. They are deposit feeders, and obtain food by extracting organic particles from deep-sea mud.
#14 Irrawaddy Dolphin
Irrawaddy Dolphin is an oceanic dolphin found in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. Its most notable feature is a round head with no distinct beak.
#15 Honduran White Bat
The Honduran white bat has distinctive white fur, with tips of individual hairs being gray as well as a leaf-shaped nose. They live in leaf 'tents' that they 'build' by cutting the side veins extending out from the midrib of large leaves.
#16 Spiny Bush Viper
Atheris hispida is a venomous viper from Central Africa. For their extremely keeled dorsal scales they are often called "rough-scaled bush viper" and "spiny bush viper".
#17 Sunda Colugo
Sunda Colugo or Sunda flying lemur is a species of colugo, native to Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. It is not, in fact, a lemur and it does not fly, gliding instead. Sunda Colugo is active at night and feeds on soft plant parts like young leaves, shoots, flowers, and fruits.
#18 Pacu
Pacu have square, straight teeth, which are uncannily similar to human teeth. Pacu, unlike piranha, mainly feed on plant material and not flesh or scales.
#19 Saiga Antelope
This saiga, spread around the Eurasian steppe, is known for its an extremely unusual, over-sized, flexible nose structure, the proboscis. It is a critically endangered antelope.
#20 Blobfish
The blobfish is a deep sea fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, Zealand. The body of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water and this allows it to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. They only appear droopy when taken out of the sea, when pressure changes drastically.
#21 Fossa
Fossa is a cat-like mammal that lives in Madagascar. Its classification has been controversial because physically it resembles a cat, while other traits suggest relation to viverrids. Genetic research has shown that they are actually their own separate species.
Evebody knows about Fossas. King Julian talk about them all the time in Madagascar movie.
#22 Glass Frog
Found in South America, the glass frog is a family of amphibians with some specimens exhibiting an outstanding feature — transparent abdomens. Because the internal viscera is visible through the skin, the common name they are given is glass frogs.
#23 Mata Mata
Found in South America, the mata mata is a freshwater turtle known for a large, triangular, flattened head characterized with many tubercles and flaps of skin, and a "horn" on its long and tubular snout.
#24 Sea Pen
Sea pen is a colonial animal with multiple polyps that 'root' itself in sandy or muddy substrate. They mainly catch plankton. When touched, some sea pens emit a bright greenish light.
#25 Goblin Shark
This rare shark is sometimes even called a "living fossil", "is the only extant representative of the family Mitsukurinidae, a lineage some 125 million years old." Goblin sharks inhabit the depths greater than 100 m (330 ft), with adults found deeper than juveniles. Given the depths at which it lives, the goblin shark poses no danger to humans.

Book Review: The Book Of Kells by R. A. MacAvoy
A well-told tale with a unique twist. While some might call it a fantasy and others a science fiction tale, it's neither and both. Intentional, predictable time travel figures prominently in propelling the plot forward, but it's invoked by neither science nor magic. The means of the time hopping (and the fact that the jump is consistently one thousand years) drives the intrigue. (No, I'm not telling.) Yes, the historic Book of Kells figures in the plot.
Well done. The characters and settings are well developed and, if not believable, at least consistent to the point that the reader is willing to go along with the fun.
Warning: Has unexpected soporific power. Three times while reading it, I fell asleep. Several more I almost nodded off. It's not a boring story: honest. But it had that effect on me.

Yeah, let's blame it on that.
My mother says she's never seen me this indecisive. But what it really all comes down to is: Do I really want to spend a whole year away from everybody I know and go completely alone into a new atmosphere I know very little about. New Zealand has been what I've wanted for quite some time; I only hesitate because it's this growth of fully becoming an adult, admitting it's time for me to be ready to make it on my own, prove my worth in this world--but what if I'm not ready? What if I think I am and I turn out to be a failure? And I'm in a completely different country with no one to hold my hand and say that they're there for me?
In karate, my teacher always told me when I was ready. He would say that he was testing me on a certain day, but it was really the whole week, but it was really my entire time of ever doing karate that he was watching me. I wouldn't have to feel so nervous because he knew I was ready. It's hard for me to tell when I'm ready; it's seems somewhat over zealous at times for me to say I'm ready because I'd look like a fool if I weren't.
I just have to remember that I can do this--and at any time I want. I'm not going because I told everyone I'm going. I'm not going because it's for school. And I'm definitely not going to get away from anyone. I'm going because I know I need to go, because, as afraid as I am of growing up and finally being on my own, it's something I need to do for myself, that I'm supposed to go there and see what I can do in a world of complete strangers. I did it before, and I'm willing to do it again--just in a bigger community.
I'm damn scared. It's known that college is the place to start de-rooting oneself from the home life, be on one's own. In reality, no one is really on their own. Parents help, the school helps and there are always people around. But it's a whole new ball game on the other side of the world.
I'm turning twenty on Tuesday. Officially not a "punk teen" and just underage enough to consider myself a "youngin".
I've so much to learn.

It's Because I'm A Pisces

Well if you're jumping off the deep-end, moving to the other side of the world to be surrounded by strangers... you picked the right place!
The people of New Zealand certainly welcomed me with open arms.
My only warning is this: You will not be the same person when you return and your outlook on EVERYTHING will be different. Also, it may be very difficult to re-acclimate to your life here… coming back was the hardest part for me.
But! It'll be an adventure of a lifetime – beautiful – mysterious – wonderful!

How it works
Sunlight consists of UVA & UVB rays, in addition to visible light.
These rays cause "sun damage", "photo damage" or "photo ageing", through over-exposure to the sun during the natural life span of an individual.
There are two types of UV rays:
1. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin resulting in early aging (wrinkles) and skin cancer.
2. UVB rays damage the surface of the skin and are the main source of sunburns.

A fellowship of Christian bloggers committed to encouraging one another and giving glory to God.

The Pilgrim's Progress
First of all, let's continue to pray for Terry as she deals with the health issues of her parents. We continue to pray for Dad Golden's salvation. This is our fervent prayer and we are trusting that God will draw Terry's father to Himself.
The new Pilgrim Pals blog, Be Encouraged, belongs to my youngest sibling Mark. I've encouraged him to post regularly. I trust that you will be blessed as you visit his site.
Now a few personal items:
Carol and I are still trusting that our home will sell. We have a couple coming to see our home tomorrow morning (Saturday). We had an offer earlier this week but it was much lower than our asking price so we turned it down. The problem we were having with our well seems to be solved as we had an ultra-violet filter system installed this week. This has been a very stressful time for our family. Thanks for your ongoing prayers!
God has graciously and miraculously provided for us again this week. Living by faith can be very taxing but when we see the faithfulness of God week after week our faith is strengthened and we marvel at God's incredible provision. We still need a financial miracle but "with God all things are possible!"
Earlier this week I received an encouraging note from a dear friend who enclosed a $50.00 bill with her letter. What a blessing that note was! We never know who God is going to use to meet our needs but He always finds someone who is generous and obedient.
Mike Fisher (pictured with our son Nathan) and the Ottawa Senators have won two games in a row now. Mike scored a goal in each of those wins. Uncle David continues to be proud of his talented nephew who loves the Lord and lets his light shine for Him.
My other nephew, Bud Fisher, helped lead his team, the Quinnipiac Bobcats, to a 4-2 win over Robert Morris tonight. CONGRATULATIONS Bud!
I can't post or comment on our home computers again. This is SO frustrating! Hopefully we can solve this problem soon so I can post with more regularity.
Finally, dear friends, thanks for your friendship and prayers! I love you all and praise God for you!
~ David
P. S. Felisol, your comments to me have been so encouraging lately. Thanks for the love and support that you offer from the other side of the sea.

I am soooo glad to hear from you again! I love reading your posts, and the ones on Scribblings have been so encouraging to me. We have been going through a rough time,too, but thank God, we have pulled through another difficult time.
Thank you for letting us know the Sens won...I knew that they'd lost quite a few, which was an object of teasing towards a certain PrayingSensFan ;) but I haven't had time to follow them, so I didn't know they FINALLY won!
I pray that your house will sell REAL SOON...in God's perect timing. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him...trust in Him and He will bring it to pass (Psalm 37).
God bless you, brother!

Thanks for the update! I hope your house will sell soon- I have faith that all will be resolved.
Thanks for the reminder to pray for Terry and her parents. What an asset Terry is to myself and to Pilgrim Pals!
Congrats to Mike and Bud too...sounds like good hockey genes run in the family! Speaking of which: Welcome Mark! I'm off to check out his blog now.
