Sundays in St Martin | What to do
Well, it is about 6:30 AM on a Sunday. Of course, we are up already. There are no divers this morning and normally (when I say "normally" what I really mean is before we had a baby) I would still be in blissful slumber dreaming about all the wonderful things that happened this week… Instead, my lovely little alarm clock (AKA Keiran) was shouting "MAMA!" from the top of his lungs at 6:20. Then silence. Perhaps he's gone back to sleep, I think hopefully. Then I hear a pulsing, squeaking noise and again "Mama!" I know that he is jumping up and down in his crib. At this point I'm sure that I sighed, or something of the sort, and I go to get him.
"Maaaaaamaaaaa!" He smiles when I go in, all the toys from his crib, including his blanket are on the floor. Seeing his little smiling face makes it all worth it.
Anyway… I"m sure you are all thinking "what's the point of this blog?" Well, I thought I would take this time to write a blog about Sundays in St Martin. Everyone is always asking me what it is like to live here? Do I miss living in the States? What are the hospitals like? What are the schools like? And sometimes, what do you do on your day off?
Well, first of all, as most business owners know, there is never really a day off. Even when we are on vacation I will be checking my emails every day and making sure things are running smoothly at the center. It is the life that we chose. Like right now, it's my Sunday off, but what am I doing? Well, I don't want you to feel guilty about reading this, so I will tell you that I like writing, so this doesn't fall directly in the category of work.
So, Sundays in St Martin, what will we do? We won't be doing anything administrative, especially on the French side, as everything is shut – the banks, post office, office buildings, same as the US really. The supermarkets will be open until about 2 pm on the Dutch side – "Le Grand Marche", and the big one on the French side – "Simply" will close at 1 PM. Actually, that makes me think, why does the supermarket on the French side have an English name and the supermarket on the Dutch side have a French name? This island is so confusing!
Of course, we can go to any beach we want to, but that is what everyone else is doing. Sundays are HUGE beach days for all the locals that live here, and going to a beach crowded with people isn't really our thing, so we normally don't go to the beach on a Sunday. We may just go for a swim at the beach in front of our house, but I guess I don't really consider that a beach day, as it is literally just there and we normally go for a swim at some point every day.
Sunday seems to be a big day for pool parties (which we are always game for.) There is nothing better than seeing our friends and Keiran loves to jump in and out of the pool!
We could also go out for lunch somewhere. Places we like to go to lunch would be the Simpson Bay Yacht Club, the Taste Factory (although we haven't been in awhile because the last few times their coffee has been really bad, which is normal here, but it is also expensive – not a good combination). Or Chesterfields on the Dutch side, or Tropical Wave at Galleon Beach on the French Side. We normally eat on the Dutch side, just because it is nice to get away from the French Side, where we live. We often take the boat to Pinel Island for lunch, but you do need to make a reservation as they also get really busy with locals on a Sunday.
We could go for a hike, Chris and I like to hike, but it can be difficult now that Keiran is so big. He is just at the point where he can walk completely by himself (which is great as he is over 30 lbs now) but it takes him forever if he is just left to his own devices. Plus, if it is rocky or there are any cliffs, we can't let him walk solo. So, then we pick him up, and that gets real old, real fast in this heat with a 30 lbs lump of fat and muscle attached to your hip! If we do hike, we love to hike at Wilderness and also Guana Bay. Just message me for more details and I can explain exactly where to go.
Last Sunday we went up to Pic Paradis to check out the view. We would normally walk, but with Keiran (and the fact that Chris has a truck) we drove all the way to the top. Which made me nervous, but Chris assured me that there was absolutely no problem taking the truck up this small path that was allegedly a road!
Of course, sometimes on a Sunday, we will go diving. In fact, I am thinking about joining the trip this afternoon and taking my camera. I need to get some photos of some dive sites for the website. Is that working? Going out for a fun dive, on my own boat, when the weather is great, I don't have to put any tanks on the boat (because my staff took care of it), I don't have to drive my boat (because we have a boat captain) and I don't have to take any tanks off the boat (because my staff will take care of it) is when I feel the most awesome about owning my own diving center.
Other things to do on a Sunday. We have been taking Keiran to the Blue Mall on the Dutch side. On the fourth floor they have a play area for kids with toys, an obstacle course, a ball pool, a giant trampoline, slides, and more. It is $10 for Keiran (adults go free!) and he LOVES it! Plus, after 2 hours here he falls asleep in the car almost instantly and we can leave him to nap in the car once we get home, giving us some time for ourselves.
If you are so inclined to go to church on Sunday, there are lots of churches to go to for many different denominations. There is a Catholic one in Grand Case just down the road.
Then, there are the Sundays that are for chores. Gardening, housekeeping, laundry, grouting the shower, or building some shelves. Sometimes a day off can be harder work than a day at work, depending on what chores need doing.
Anyway… it is time to stop this work, and get on with my Sunday. You should do the same, get off the computer and enjoy the last of the northern summer!

Once, when my life was going very badly, and I was so angry every moment that it was like a white-hot inferno raging inside of me, Thích Nhất Hạnh soothed me. Actually, he probably saved me. At the very least he made it possible for me to live the life I have now, (relatively) peaceful. In a cooler, calmer place.
His Taming the Tiger Within lay beside my bed, on my night table, for weeks, as I read and reread each chapter. I'd read the monk from Việt Nam's other books. I'd even done walking meditation for awhile. But the Nobel Prize nominee's words on anger were powerful, a kind of healing cool against the incandescence of anger.
But even as I read his books, his poetry, practiced as he recommended, I wasn't particularly curious about the man behind the monk. Or perhaps, more accurately, the man who is also the monk. So I'm looking forward to Oprah's Sunday interview w/Thích Nhất Hạnh, to hear him speak of his life, his practice, the impact this quiet monk has had on so many hundreds of thousands of people.
Join me Sunday as I tune in. Here's an excerpt, just to pique your interest. 🙂

America's best read urban weekly | Learn More »
BOOK | With homemade marijuana-infused meals and treats growing in popularity, it was only a matter of time before people started looking for ways to add cannabis to cocktails. In his latest book, CANNABIS COCKTAILS, MOCKTAILS, & TONICS: THE ART OF SPIRITED DRINKS AND BUZZ-WORTHY LIBATIONS, Warren Bobrow, creator of the Cocktail Whisperer blog and author of three other cocktail-related books, presents 75 weed-infused recipes for a high you get by sipping, not smoking. Bobrow includes everything from morning coffee and tea to lemonade and after-dinner drinks, plus tips on making enhanced tonics, syrups, bitters, infused oil and compound butter for even more zing. Also in the book: instructions on de-carbing marijuana and how to get the most out of the drug's psychoactive effect, and the history of recreational and medical marijuana. Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails & Tonics doesn't come out until next June, but it's available for pre-order now.
ACCESSORY | For the smoker on the go, the iCHIEF ROLLING TRAY CASE is a must-have. This phone case, which is available for iPhone 4/4S and 5/5S models, is made from eco-friendly, recycled materials and comes equipped with a small section to roll a joint and a protective sleeve for standard 1¼-inch rolling papers. The 4/4S ($12) case is only available in clear, but the 5/5S ($15) case comes in black, clear, maroon, pink and green. Both models are available at ichiefsupply.com.
WEB SERIES | With the tag line "Half brothers, half baked," it's clear which demographic that comedy hub Funny or Die was catering to with BAKED ALASKA. In the pilot, we learn that Deckland "Deck" Carlisle's (Thomas Brungardt) father recently has passed away. His half-brother Jodadiah "Jody" Fulton (Ken Runnion) throws a wake, or a "death birthday party," as he refers to it, before the pair fly to Alaska to take over the pot shop (in a strip mall next to a Curves) that Deck's dad has left behind. The show is very D.I.Y., with Runnion's wife Niki playing his girlfriend, Imogene, which Jody pronounces "Imagine," and Brungardt and the Runnions share directing credit, but the writing is fun (Deck: "I'm going to Alaska." Jody: "Ew! Why are you going to another country?") and the pair have good chemistry. There's only one episode currently on FoD, but the positive response from viewers hints at more to come. ♦

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 4, 2009) - The FeedRoom, a pioneer in online video
communications, and a leader in live video and digital asset
management, today announced a partnership with 3Play Media, a provider
of intelligent video transcription and captioning services. Under the
agreement, the two companies will help Fortune 1000 enterprises, leading
media organizations and government agencies to accelerate the process of
producing affordable, high-quality video captions in compliance with
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
3Play Media's patent-pending technology streamlines the ability to
transcribe audio files accurately, and provides innovative search and
navigation capabilities through time synchronization. The 3Play process
combines the best of automated speech recognition with rigorous quality
assurance methods, making the transcription and captioning
process more user-friendly and affordable.
The FeedRoom's flexible, lightweight video players provide support for
caption display which can be configured by users on the fly using the
intuitive Player Composer module within the FeedRoom Studio™ video
publishing application. Users can upload video directly to the 3Play
console, choosing from next-day or three-day turnaround options. Once
transcribed using the pay-as-you-go service, the transcription can be
edited, if necessary, from within the console prior to downloading standard
.dfxp (distribution format exchange profile) or .html files for
synchronized delivery in FeedRoom players or linked to specific videos.
"Many organizations today are mandated by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation
Act to ensure that public information is universally accessible to
everyone, including those with disabilities and other special needs," said
Daniel Webster, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Live
Video Services at The FeedRoom. "By making convenient transcription
services available to our enterprise customers, we help them to reach the

challenging issues: fast and affordable online video captioning."

Platform™ (EVP) is a scalable video publishing system that integrates
seamlessly with existing content management platforms, social media and
third-party Web analytics tools. Unlike consumer video-sharing sites,
FeedRoom EVP provides greater brand control, enabling users to better
manage distribution, monetization and measurement of video content for
marketing, corporate communications and public relations.
"When compared to traditional text-only content, video is more visually
stimulating and can convey tone and emotion in ways that written words
cannot necessarily do alone," said CJ Johnson, Co-Founder of 3Play Media.
"Recent studies show the enormous benefits of using video with text for
increasing both viewership and message retention. As companies seek new
ways to streamline the process of generating high-quality video transcripts
for Web video formats, we are delighted to provide a convenient captioning
on-ramp for FeedRoom clients."

It's not much to go on, but this screen shot could be our best lead so far as to when the long-awaited Droid Bionic will finally be available.
AndroidCentral published this screenshot from an anonymous source that appears to show an August 4 release date for the Droid Bionic, which was first seen six months ago at CES in Las Vegas. Later it was announced that the release was being bumped to summer so that "enhancements" could be made. That could mean that the final Bionic might be quite different from what we saw at CES.
The release of the Bionic is big because it will be one of the first dual-core LTE phones available on Verizon, which has been dumping significant resources into expanding its LTE network nationwide, building all the way out into both large and small markets around the country.
If the screen shot is to be believed, it would also seem to confirm the July 14 release date for the Droid 3.
None of this has been confirmed by Motorola or Verizon, of course, and they've shown in the past that they love to play with release dates right up to the last minute.

Hello...my 3 month old puppy just got a set of 3 shots today. He did well taking them, not much of a struggle and just a little yelp when he got them. Everything seems to be fine with him, but his neck/shoulder area where they gave him the shots is very tender and he whimpers a bit when he stretches or if I pick him up. He's also been just kinda laying around the house and hasn't been too active. I feel sorry for my little friend and am kinda starting to worry a bit. I'm hoping he'll be better in the morning but I was just wondering if this is normal for some puppies to go through? He's a small dog, ShihTzu and only 3lbs. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks to all! :pawprint:

The Canadian toy and game firm that introduced Trivial Pursuit has expanded into Simsbury, acquiring product lines of the financially troubled Main Street Toy Co., which will dissolve.
Chieftain Products Inc. of Toronto announced Tuesday it has bought the rights to four Main Street lines, including the Dress-ups! play outfits for children. Chieftain, a privately held, mid-size firm, will also market its own products -- among them a game called Nightmare that the company hopes will match Trivial Pursuit's popularity -- through its Simsbury subsidiary.

Reporting from Moffett Field, Calif. — Instead of sending its employees to space, NASA is building them an office of the future closer to home.
The curvy, space-age building at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley incorporates technology used by astronauts and will be one of a few structures in the state that can generate more electricity than it consumes. Construction won't be complete until mid-July, but the federal government is already calling the $20-million facility its green building of the year.
It has a name only government officials could love — the Sustainability Base — but it is generating a lot of buzz among businesses and government agencies trying to be more green. The structure, near San Jose, was designed to be a model of eco-friendly architecture.
"Buildings of the future could actually produce more energy than they use and reverse the trend of being a big, sucking drain without compromising anything," said Steven Zornetzer, Ames' associate center director.

Asking for a fiscal period-end change
A registered charity must get permission from the Charities Directorate before it can change its fiscal period-end, since such a change affects the charity's filing obligations.
To ask for a change, prepare a letter with the following information:
- the new fiscal period-end
- the proposed effective year of the change
- the signature of a director/trustee or other authorized representative of the charity
Mail or fax the letter to:
Charities Directorate
Canada Revenue Agency
Ottawa ON K1A 0L5
Fax: 613-954-8037
Do not include the letter with the charity's annual information return since this may cause processing delays.
Filing for the transition period
If a registered charity receives approval to change its fiscal period-end, it will have a transition period that is not a full 12 months. Therefore, it must file a separate information return for the months of transition. For example, if the charity's fiscal period-end was originally December 31, and the charity received approval to change it to March 31, one complete return is required for the original fiscal period of January 1 to December 31, and a separate complete return is required for the transition period from January 1 to March 31.
A registered charity's fiscal period generally should not be more than 12 months.
A return for the transition period or for the new fiscal period cannot be processed until the change in fiscal period-end has been approved. Therefore, the charity should submit a request as soon as it decides to make the change.
The charity may also need to amend its governing document if it includes a fiscal period-end (for example, bylaws state the fiscal period-end is December 31, and the charity is changing the fiscal period-end to March 31). We will still process this change; however, the charity must amend the date in its governing documents and submit a certified copy to the Charities Directorate. For more information, see Changing a charity's bylaws.

Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The most useful tools in the kitchen perform more than one function--Trudeau's spatula is a perfect example. Food-safe, heat-resistant silicone is soft and pliable enough for a scraper, yet strong enough to scoop heavy-duty dough. The spatula also does double duty as a scoop or spoon, stirring sauces on the stovetop without harming the delicate, nonstick finish on cookware. Best of all, silicone is heat-resistant to 600 degrees Fahrenheit--so it won't melt or shred when exposed to high temperatures. Plus, this dishwasher-safe, stain-resistant spatula cleans easily under running water. A hole in one end provides convenient hanging storage. --Mary Park

Sen. Mike Lee understands HBO's "The Newsroom" blends fiction and reality. But the Tea Party favorite isn't happy with the ratio of truth to creative license in this past Sunday's episode.
[Lee] complained to HBO recently after the lead character in its new series "The Newsroom" claimed Lee campaigned on a platform to repeal constitutional guarantees of citizenship, due process and equal protection to anyone born or naturalized in the United States.
"For starters," Will McAvoy, the anchor of the program's nightly cable-news program, reportedly said in Sunday's episode, "the centerpiece of Mike Lee's stump speech is repealing the 14th Amendment. It's an applause line, and he's going to win his primary by double digits."
… Lee's office says McAvoy's dialogue mischaracterized the legislator's position.
"Senator Lee has never supported repealing the 14th Amendment," spokesman Brian Phillips told the Daily News. "What he has supported is legislation that would clarify one of the provisions of the 14th Amendment, such that children born in the U.S. to parents who are illegal aliens are not given automatic birthright citizenship…."
[Lee spokesman Brian] Phillips said HBO assured the senator the show has fact checkers who would review the line. An HBO spokesman acknowledged the conversation with the senator's office but had no further comment.
Fact checkers? HBO? The same network which broadcast "Recount" and "Game Change?" HBO is known for comedies like "Sex and the City" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but that statement alone is a howler of the first order.

In our windy location in Tacumshin, Co. Wexford, near the south east coast, we will always be grateful to organic horticulture lecturer, Klaus Laitenberger, for running a course in Sonairte, Co. Meath, where I learned how to make strong, simple, low cost cloches. The main cost is the Enviromesh, a strong fine netting which allows in light and rain, but excludes small predators like carrot fly and cabbage white butterflies. (Available from http://www.fruithillfarm.com.)
The principal ingredients are 2 by 1 rough timber lengths, one inch hydrodare, flexible piping which plumbers use to carry pressurised water to taps, plus nails to hold it all together and some screws to improve the strength of the cloche. A drill bit for the 1 inch holes plus an electric drill are needed to secure the hydrodare loops. A staple-gun with long staples is needed to secure the enviromesh over the hydrodare loops.
This cloche design is not only effective, but it is ergonomic and stream-lined enough to deflect and filter the strong winds we get in these parts. There was a good turn-out of about 40 keen
GIY-ers recently at our local Wexford meeting in the Riverbank Hotel to go through the practical steps of making a sample cloche. If you are reading this and live anywhere near Wexford town, you'll be made very welcome at our GIY monthly meetings on the 3rd Monday of every month at 7.30pm in the Riverbank Hotel. Worth checking out the GIY website also for seasonal tips and news of other GIY demos and meetings elsewhere. (www.giyinternational.org)

Questions we've been asked: General issues
QB 07/02 - Whether The Minor Beneficiary Rule Exemption In Section HH 3B Applies On A $1,000 "Per Beneficiary" Or On A $1,000 "Per Beneficiary Per Trust" Basis.
We have been asked to clarify the correct application of section HH 3B of the Income Tax Act 2004 (the minor beneficiary rule exemption).
This QWBA sets out the operational guidelines regarding the minor beneficiary rule exemption.
(Please note: All legislative references in this QWBA refer to the Income Tax Act 2004).
Section HH 3A(1) states:
If a minor derives beneficiary income,-
- a trustee of the trust from which the beneficiary income is derived must pay income tax on the beneficiary income as if the beneficiary income were trustee income:
- despite section HH 3(1), the beneficiary income is excluded from being income of the minor.
Section HH 3B states:
Section HH 3A does not apply if the amount of beneficiary income derived by a minor in relation to a tax year is $1,000 or less.
Section HH 3A(1) provides that if a minor derives beneficiary income from a trust the trustee must pay income tax on that beneficiary income as if it were trustee income. The beneficiary income is not income of the minor.
However, section HH 3B contains a de minimis exemption to this rule. It provides that where the amount of beneficiary income derived by a minor in relation to an income year is $1,000 or less, the beneficiary income is taxed at the minor beneficiary's marginal tax rate and not at the trustee's tax rate.
The Commissioner is aware of the uncertainty over the application of section HH 3B. That is, it is unclear whether section HH 3B applies on a "per beneficiary" basis or a "per beneficiary per trust" basis.
The Commissioner has reviewed the statement regarding HH 3B in the Tax Information Bulletin, Vol 13, No 5 (May 2001) and past practices. The operational guidelines are clarified as follows.
Discussion - correct application of section HH 3B
The Commissioner considers that section HH 3B must be applied in the context of sections HH 3A and HH 3C which are formulated on a "per beneficiary per trust" basis. Accordingly, the reference to "beneficiary income" in section HH 3B can only mean the beneficiary income derived from a specific trust that would be treated as trustee income for that trust under section HH 3A.
The underlying purpose of section HH 3B also supports this interpretation. The purpose of section HH 3B is to provide an exemption to the general rule in section HH 3A. Therefore the exemption can only apply in respect of the beneficiary income derived from a particular trust to which section HH 3A applies.
Accordingly, section HH 3B should be interpreted as applying to each beneficiary for every trust from which they derive income. If a beneficiary receives beneficiary income from a number of trusts the $1,000 exemption in section HH 3B will apply to the income that is received from each trust. That is, the aggregate exemption can exceed $1,000.
Although there is no express limit on the number of trusts that can make distributions of $1,000 or less to the same minor beneficiary and benefit from the section HH 3B exemption a settlor must have a legitimate purpose in establishing multiple trusts. The Commissioner may consider the application of the general anti-avoidance rules if people establish multiple trusts to obtain a greater than $1,000 exemption.

The MFA Programme in Photography at Valand Academy is intended for people who want to develop their photographic work, both practically and theoretically. The programme has a fine arts profile, which means that photography represents a multifaceted means of investigating and visually expressing contemporary aesthetic and political issues. The focus is on the possibilities afforded by the photographic image and emphasises a dual focus on the student's creative work and a critical, reflective dialogue.
The core of the programme is the students' individual project work. Work on projects extends over two years, and the aim is to integrate new knowledge and experiences into the creative process. Through group discussions and individual meetings with teachers and professors, you develop your own practice and your technical proficiency, and deepen your understanding of photography's various social and artistic contexts. This knowledge will help you formulate a personal approach and situate your own work in relation to both historical and contemporary perspectives.
The programme has a vibrant and well-established interaction with the professional art world, and in the course you will meet photographers, artists, curators, critics and researchers who are active both nationally and internationally. Well-informed and relevant analyses of the current situation in the field are an important feature of the programme, as is knowledge about how to create and become a part of various public contexts.
Valand Academy has a well-developed environment with lab, studio, project rooms, digital workshops and equipment lending.
The programme consists of courses of varying durations and specialisations. The courses are interrelated, and the structure integrates practical creation and theoretical reflection. The type of instruction is seminar-oriented, which means that theory courses are based on joint discussions and interpretations of the texts included in the course syllabus, but also on how the theoretical perspectives are applied in different photographers' work. The course literature provides you with both an in-depth knowledge of key texts on photographic theory and an orientation in topical issues concerning photography, art and visual culture. Because theory and practice are continuously linked, the issues discussed are highly relevant to the student's own creative work.
A major part of the programme takes place within the framework of the Individual Project Work courses I-III, where the main elements are the individual project work and reflections on this work. The type of instruction is individual supervision and critical group dialogue. In the master's essay courses I and II, you will write an essay that is investigative and critical in nature, addresses a relevant subject and meets the requirements for a scholarly text with regard to footnotes and a list of references. Here, too, instruction is in the form of individual supervision and critical group dialogue, but also in text seminars.
One of the programme's objectives is to prepare you to work in the art and photography world in a deliberate and strategic way. This aspect is covered in the Professional Development module, the contents of which are closely linked to preparing for, and completing, the graduation exhibition. The graduation exhibition is one of the course's most important components and is held during the spring semester of the programme's second year.
During the first academic year, the department arranges a number of elective courses in various fields. In the elective courses, students from the department's various master's programmes meet. One of the elective courses is Pedagogy. It provides knowledge and skills in the teaching of art, and thus is linked to opportunities to earn a living in the art field, where teaching is an important component.
The MFA Programme in Photography is an international programme, and all instruction takes place in English. Because several of the teachers also are Swedish-speaking, the individual supervision also takes place in Swedish for those who so desire.
Since Valand Academy is a complete learning environment – with undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes – you have excellent opportunities to apply for postgraduate positions in artistic research. An important feature of the programme's research preparedness profile is that the department's doctoral candidates regularly teach within the MFA Programme.
Open postgraduate seminars are also held on a continual basis, giving you both insight into doctoral candidates on-going work and an introduction to the questions and methods impelling the research field.
The programme is two years, based on full-time study at 30 higher education credits per semester, and leads to the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Photography (120 credits).
The programme prepares you for a career as a professional artist working with photography as your main medium of expression. An important aspect of professional artistic practice is exhibiting in art galleries and museums, but there are also other ways artists can gain exposure for their works. Various forms of publication have become an increasingly important forum for photographic artists. Photo books are published both by the artists themselves and in collaboration with publishing companies. There is a culture of festivals and expos associated with photo books, but artists nonetheless face major challenges in reaching an audience of readers and collectors with these books. In addition to printed books, there are, of course, opportunities to work digitally and use the Internet as a production platform and a distribution channel. Issues related to gaining exposure occupy a prominent place in the programme, and there are two student galleries at Valand Academy. In addition, the Academy also regularly collaborates with other exhibiting institutions. The school has a printing press at its disposal, making it possible for you to produce your own books and other printed materials.
In addition to the commercial market, there are support systems that provide project grants and work scholarships for professional artists. The programme also provides examples of and preparation for operating within and creating – on your own or with others – alternative forms and contexts. For most, it is a question of creating alternative sources of income, and many choose to work as a teacher at art schools or within other educational programmes in media and photography. The programme's orientation provides you with knowledge that can also be applied in contexts external to the art world, such as by working as an assignment photographer for magazines or within different types of institutions, which gives you a broader base of support.
Entrance Requirements:
Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography or Fine Arts, or other relevant degree of at least 180 credits (ECTS), or relevant working experience. Applicants must prove their knowledge of English: English 6/English B from Swedish Upper Secondary School.

On the surface, Linux seems to be UNIX-like in that it is a file-based OS with a scripting shell interface; however, its source code does not descend from the original UNIX. In 1991, Linus Torvalds, a Finnish university student, began the Linux kernel as a hobby. Torvalds originally used Minix, a simplified UNIX-like system built for teaching operating system design, on his home computer. Minix's author, Andrew Tanenbaum, did not allow others to extend his operating system, which led Torvalds to create a replacement for Minix.
Also different from UNIX is Linux's delivery model. Linux distributors range from individuals to informal teams to commercial organizations, each creating its own unique Linux distributions. Today, over 300 different distributions are actively developed*. While some distributors offer support for a cost, others offer none at all, and with each distributor the level of development and testing rigor varies greatly.

Ponds vary greatly in form & function depending on customers' needs & preferences. They can range from formal to informal, full sun to shade, ponds brimming with lilies and bog plants to koi ponds devoid of foliage, dry stacked naturalistic borders to ponds employing the more formal rock & mortar masonry. The variables are endless, it's really a matter of personal taste. Below we've attempted to showcase the variety of ponds available by sharing some slideshows of ponds we've installed for customers over the past few years.
Koi Pond
This particular pond is an above-ground semi formal koi pond showcasing lilies, lotus and bog plants.
Water Wise Backyard Makeover
Homeowners transitioned from a drought starved St. Augustine grass patch to a low-water design incorporating a Disappearing Stream with Semi-Tropical Xeriscaping.
Xeriscape Landscaping with Natural Stream
Xeriscape landscaping, by definition, is landscaping designed specifically for areas that are susceptible to drought, or for properties where water conservation is practiced. HCWG uses a wide selection of Texas native & adapted plants, trees, and grasses requiring very little water to grow & thrive during our hot dry summers.
Natural Pond with Raised Beds
The design of this pond is characterized by naturalistic forms that imitate nature. In this instance, the dry stacked rock closely resembles a naturally occurring pond edge. All of our ponds are built using rubber liner as seen in this gallery.
Pond for Fido
This is an excellent example of in-ground informal pond. It's naturalistic and almost appears to be naturally occurring. This pond was built for the pond owner's dog, Lucy. You can see Lucy enjoying her backyard oasis in some of our photos. In order to accommodate Lucy, we used a double liner and built a barrier between her area of the pond and the area of the pond where the home owners wanted to enjoy lilies and bog plants.
Shanti Pond built using the principles of Feng Shui
Located at the Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple of Austin, this particular pond "was built in accordance with vaastu, the ancient Indian science of architecture, making the building and grounds in harmony with the universe. Visitors to the temple are encouraged to visit the Shanti Pond. It is considered auspicious to visit the pond before leaving the Temple. The pond is home to 13 large koi and 1 large goldfish. The pond is in the northeast corner of the Temple, which is a vaastu feature, bringing good luck to the Temple and its visitors."
Pond with Bog Filter
The bog filter provides a perfect background for the pond, showcasing plants while allowing more pond surface area to remain open. It also provides a natural looking transition from land to pond, and enhances the landscaping around the pond. The ultimate pond filter for water purity, clarity, and low maintenance. Unlike man made filters, bogs can completely process organic waste, including solid waste, and even process some inorganic waste, such as minerals.
Water Feature Built into Sloped Yard
Given the terrian of Austin and its surrounding communities, it's not uncommon for customers to want a water feature built into a steeply graded yard. For HCWG – that is not a problem!
Backyard Pond
This is a great example of a classic mid-size pond that would work in a typical back yard. Note the natural dry-stacked rock and the usage of Texas natives in the surrounding landscape.
Secret Garden
For some, the pond serves as a backdrop and the real centerpiece is the transcendent atmosphere created by harmonizing water and aquatic plants with the surrounding foliage.
Conversion from Chlorine to Aquatic Pond
It's not uncommon to convert a swimming pool or chlorinated water body into an aquatic pond as evidenced by Dell Children's Hospital. We were able to introduce water lilies, a disappearing water feature, and bog filter pots throughout the pond.

If Cosatu ever has to write a break-up letter to the ANC, all it needs to do is cut and paste extracts from the Socio-Economic Report to be presented to the federation's National Congress this month. The report reveals Cosatu's battered wife syndrome and documents the sorry state of government. Cosatu is clearly adopting a tough-love stance toward its alliance partner. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
It will be interesting to see the line up of leaders the ANC sends to Cosatu's 11th National Congress in Midrand in just over a week. Those who make up the ANC delegation had better have a really thick skin, particularly when they listen to discussions over the scathing political and socio-economic reports.
In the political report, Cosatu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi is highly critical of factionalism, patronage and corruption in the ANC. "In our view, a multiple crisis emerging in our society, which, if not addressed, has the potential to result in an organisational implosion and social explosion which could reverse our democracy.
"These trends are part of a general crisis of failing to act decisively on a broad range of issues, as a result of divisions in the movement and the paralysis in the state," Vavi says in the report. He also motivates against supporting ANC leaders without set conditions, writing Cosatu should avoid the "danger" of supporting ANC leaders it won't be able to hold to account later.
But it is in the socio-economic report that Cosatu lays it all out, explaining why it thinks the South African government is failing and why "no amount of sophistry can hide the fact that the mass of the employed working class is increasingly sinking deep into the conditions of the Lazarus-layers".
There is a marked change of tone in the report from the usual "much has been done by the ANC government but much remains to do", line so often delivered by Alliance leaders. Cosatu's language is now quite blunt: "All the policies that have been adopted in the past 18 years have failed to deliver on the fundamentals: unemployment reduction, poverty elimination and the reduction of social and economic inequality.
"In our assessment, the failure of these policies does not lie in what they sought to achieve (all of them claimed to deal with unemployment, poverty and inequality). These policies failed because of the inappropriate policy instruments that they proposed in order to achieve their goals," the report states.
The statistics Cosatu belts out in the report to substantiate the deepening crisis of unemployment, poverty and inequality are disturbing. By 2012, new entrants among the unemployed had increased by 198,000 and job-losers among the unemployed had increased by 314,000. Between the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2012, the proportion of the unemployed that have been without work for more than a year rose to 68% from 61%, while discouraged work-seekers, now numbering 2.3-million, increased by 100% over the same period.
Total job losses from 2009 up to the first quarter of 2012 amounted to 744,000, with the largest job losses being registered by the manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail trade and private household sectors. "Assuming an average R4,000 per month wage for a South African worker, these job losses amount to an average R107-billion loss in workers' income over the three-year period," the report says.
The Human Development Report (2010) finding that 44% of workers in South Africa live on less than R10 a day meant that 44% of workers in South Africa "are working for just a loaf of bread on a daily basis," Cosatu says.
Cosatu appears to be ringing the alarm bells particularly now ahead of the ANC's Mangaung conference because the failure of government and the economy is having the worst impact on the Alliance's constituency. The report quotes a finding by Cosatu's Gauteng Province that "poverty and unemployment is still inflicting the majority of members of the ANC, with 42% being unemployed while 60% of those that are employed earning less than R3,000 per month.
"For other provinces, it is likely that the membership of the ANC is composed by a higher percentage of the unemployed section of the working class, which daily faces the challenges of destitution, hunger and starvation. The same pattern of membership is the case with the SACP. This report therefore has direct relevance to our Allies, since the mass base from which we draw membership is the same. We therefore hope that this report will feed into the formulation of the strategy and tactics of the Alliance," Cosatu says.
In a section of the document called "The State of the State", Cosatu says there is a lack of urgency in building a competent, efficient and effective developmental state. "Measures to build the technical capacity of the state apparatus to efficiently deliver services and to intervene in the economy are still to be elaborated. There are serious gaps in the human resource development strategy of the state.
"Without a properly trained cadre and a well-resourced public service, changing mandates will not translate into action," the report states. It cites the Auditor General's 2011 report that there is an increasing trend of vacancies, which were 15% in 2009 and are now at 18%.
Cosatu says the issue of mandates of ministers remains a bone of contention, especially in the Economic Cluster. "The capacity of the state to shape economic sectors and to direct the resources that are embedded in the Minerals-Energy Complex towards more developmental goals remains extremely limited."
There are efforts by the presidency to streamline the role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in economic and social transformation. Cosatu says the Presidential Review Commission appointed by the president to look into the role of SOEs will have to formulate recommendations regarding the economic development role of SOEs and the appropriate structure of governance. "Unless SOEs are provided with clear targets for local procurement, skills development and other developmental indicators their role as instruments of economic transformation will remain extremely limited."
Cosatu's report says the lack of overarching policy guidelines for public procurement will not promote policy coherence and harmonious implementation of local procurement policies across the various levels of the state. "The National Treasury is supposed to formulate these, setting out clear targets for local procurement, enterprise development and co-operative support. This overarching policy document has not yet been produced."
Technical weaknesses of the state apparatus, the report says, accentuated by the lack of uniform requirements for entry into the public service, limit the ability of the state to intervene in the economy.
"Instead of regulating and giving a line of march to business, the state is instead given a line of march by business. The incapacity of the state to enforce compliance and anticipate ways in which the private sector evades regulation limits the ability of the state to shape economic activity. In addition, the lack of technical capacity makes the state rely on tenders in order to deliver on its role. "
Cosatu is also scathing in its assessment of local government and the impact of its weaknesses at the coalface of service delivery. "There are serious technical deficiencies that exist in local government, just as there is in the rest of the state apparatus." The recent report by the Auditor-General, in which only 5% of municipalities received clean audits, revealed very disappointing trends, Cosatu's report says.
Particularly worrying for the federation was that in 2009 municipalities under-spent R1.5-billion, but in 2011 under-spending had increased to R3.5-billion. "How is it that a democratic government, having resources that could be spent to improve the lives of the working class, could sit on those resources?"
Cosatu concludes its socio-economic report saying: "The working class is under siege. Accordingly the working class has a task to defend its positions in the best way it can – through mass mobilisation and raising consciousness".
"The social system of capitalism is clearly failing to solve the problems of the country. This is the underlying message of this report. Any attempt to 'regulate', 'decorate', 'panel-beat' the system will not work, as it has not worked, unless the basic wealth in our country is transferred to the people as a whole."
Cosatu has been forced to listen to what its members are saying, and has clearly interpreted the consequences of not doing so. With incidents like the worker rebellion at Marikana, particularly the rejection of the National Union of Mineworkers, and the profusion of service delivery protests around the country, Cosatu now has to capture and articulate the anger and disappointment of its membership.
But while Cosatu is listening and reacting to these voices, it remains to be seen whether the ANC will listen and respond to what its alliance partner is desperately communicating. It will be much easier swallowing criticism from an ally that seeing it scrawled on posters and hearing it shouted at protest marches. DM

I decided to apply for the William R. Eyler
Fellowship during the winter of 2008. There were at least three reasons for my
application. First, I was the editor in chief of Radiología, the official journal of the Spanish Society of
Radiology. Although after 4 years of experience I was quite used to the job, I
considered it desirable to create benchmarks and to learn from the top journals
and the top society in the field. Second, I thought the fellowship would
provide me with valuable acquaintances and sources of knowledge for the future.
Finally, I was sure that the experience would be of merit not only to me but to
Radiología as well. I felt surprised and
moved when I received the decision letter. It felt like a major achievement.
The Fellowship filled the month of November
2009. My first visit was 2 days at the RadioGraphics
office. Thereafter, I enjoyed 2 weeks in the Radiology office. Next I went to the RSNA Headquarters for a 2-day
stay; finally, during the last week of my fellowship, I attended the RSNA
Annual Meeting. At this point, I must express my gratitude to my Radiology
Department, the Directive Board of the University General Hospital Morales
Meseguer in Murcia, Spain, and, in particular, my family. Their wholehearted support was invaluable.
I was introduced to my fellowship by Dr Olmsted,
who from the very first made me feel comfortable. Dr Olmsted explained the rationale
of the fellowship and how important it is for the publications of the RSNA. Dr
Olmsted made available to me a number of books dealing with scientific
journalism and the editor's job. He continued by reviewing the structure of the
RSNA and the publications direction. He then explained to me the mission of RadioGraphics and, with the assistance of
Ms Cindy Rogers, I was led to understand how closely the journal relates with
the educational presentations in the RSNA Annual Meeting, and, through them, the
readers' preferences. I logged in to the RadioGraphics
electronic editorial tool (RGXPress) with
Ms Wendy Morris. Finally, Dr Olmsted and I reviewed the RadioGraphics website, discussed ideas for the future of RadioGraphics as an online journal, and,
very briefly, set out some issues on ethics in scientific medical publications.
I must emphasize that Dr Olmsted has, over the
course of some 20 years, tried to reduce personal distances as much as possible
within the RadioGraphics office—a small
family is how he sees the team. He has beyond doubt succeeded, as I can attest
through my experience of the working atmosphere and the friendliness of the
office staff.
Next, came 2 weeks in Boston at the Radiology Editorial Office. Dr Kressel introduced
me to the staff of the Radiology
office, including Dr Levine, Senior Deputy Editor, and they all had a brief
breakfast with me in the meeting room. The 2 weeks in Boston allowed me to gain
valuable insights into the review, editorial decision-making, and revision
processes for Radiology manuscripts.
I could define this part of the fellow's job as the basic task. I became aware
of the exhaustive and often complex way all the steps are performed. I witnessed
the different roles that reviewers, deputy editors, and editor in chief
throughout the peer review process. As a reviewer and circumstantial deputy
editor, I performed reviews and revisions of revised manuscripts. I retain the
valuable learning I gained thanks to the interesting postreview and
postrevision discussions with Drs Kressel and Levine.
particular interest to me was the opportunity to participate in the weekly
Deputy Editors' meeting, where manuscripts being considered for publication in Radiology after peer review were
discussed. What I found especially useful in these meetings was the chance to
observe the editor's philosophy and how he weighed anticipated scientific
impact over a manuscript's shortcomings; he usually prevailed over the deputy editor's
decision should any disagreement arise.
also had the opportunity to discuss, mostly with Dr Kressel but also with Dr
Bankier, a deputy editor, ethical issues related to medical publications, especially
redundant and fraudulent publication and conflicts of interest. We also discussed
other important issues such as authorship and how to deal with disgruntled
authors. I had the opportunity to explore statistical topics and the review
carried out by the journal's statisticians. As was the case in Bethesda, I also
found substantial value in more informal discussions with the editors and
related persons in the office, at dinners, and elsewhere, all of which enriched
me so much.
An "RSNA welcomes Dr. García Santos" panel awaited me on November 23 when
the doors of the elevator opened on the second floor of the RSNA building. This
was not insignificant. It was the presentation card of one of the most
surprising parts of the fellowship: the visit to the RSNA Publications
I had
been picked up at my hotel by Ms Roberta Arnold, RSNA Assistant Executive
Director for Publications and Communications. At the RSNA Headquarters, I had a
very competently organized visit focused on many characteristics of the RSNA
journals, ranging from the peer review process to the economics and through
copyediting. For example, I had not previously imagined the out-of-sight but
dedicated work leading to the outstanding quality of images in Radiology and RadioGraphics pages. Certainly, quality doesn't arise by
spontaneous generation! I had an extremely interesting meeting with Ms Sue
Harmon and Mr John Humpal about copy editing, a journalism topic in which I'm
especially interested. As today's medical journal contents are mainly transmitted
by means of real or virtual printed pages, scientific journalism is not only a
question of science but of written language as well. Through Ms Harmon and Mr
Humpal and the copy editors thereafter, I became aware of the massive effort
behind the pages of the printed and online versions of the RSNA journals. The
RSNA is lucky to rely on these and other professionals, who retain such a level
of commitment after so many years doing the job.
I usually reach RadioGraphics and Radiology through PubMed and read the
journals via the printed page, after my fellowship I will be much more inclined
to access these publications via their websites. In addition to ecology, the nice
design, high interactive potential, upcoming novelties and endless
possibilities of the Websites are powerful reasons to invest in on-line
responsibilities during the Annual Meeting were basically two-fold: to play a
role as a RadioGraphics panelist and
to attend breakfast and luncheons of both journals dedicated to their reviewers
and editorial board. As a RadioGraphics
panelist I dedicated a substantial part of my time during the meeting to reviewing
the presentations I had been assigned.
want to give thanks to Dr. Sarah Donaldson and the RSNA Board of Directors for
the great honor I was awarded; to Mrs. Roberta Arnold, in representation of all
the RSNA publications staff at the RSNA Headquarters; and to Dr. Herbert
Kressel, Dr. Deborah Levine and Dr. William Olmsted, editors of the RSNA
journals, for their kind attention and the time they invested in my education
as a fellow. I will keep this experience forever.
José M. García Santos,

An Interview with Connor PaoloSteve Marsi at . Comments
The young actor was recently interview by New York Magazine...
Who's your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional?
This changes on a weekly basis. After seeing Raging Bull it was Jake La Motta. Every time I hear "Imagine," it's John Lennon. Currently, it's George Morfogen, who played Rebadow on Oz. I legitimately bumped into the man twice this week, and despite my screaming his character's name both times, he remained gracious and appreciative.
What's the best meal you've eaten in New York?
Anything served past 3 a.m. qualifies as great.
In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
Hurry up and wait, and that goes for school too.
Where do you get your coffee?
I only drink coffee when I need it. And if I need it, I really need it. I don't care where it comes from.
What's the last thing you saw on Broadway?
Spring Awakening. And I highly recommend it.
Do you give money to panhandlers?
As much as possible. It's the only time in our lives that, try as we might, we cannot completely ignore the poverty staring us in the face. Even when it appears that someone is not in dire need or will use the money for some less-than-holy purpose, it feels wrong not to give when I can.

Cold Betrayal
An Ali Reynolds NoveleBook - 2015
"Revenge isn't the only dish served cold... Ali Reynolds's longtime friend and Taser-carrying nun, Sister Anselm, rushes to the bedside of a young pregnant woman hospitalized for severe injuries after she was hit by a car on a deserted Arizona highway. The girl had been running away from The Family, a polygamous cult with no patience for those who try to leave its ranks. Something about her strikes a chord in Sister Anselm, reminding her of a case she worked years before when another young girl wasn't so lucky. Meanwhile, married life agrees with Ali. But any hopes that she and her husband, B. Simpson, will finally slow down and relax now that they've tied the knot are dashed when Ali's new daughter-in-law approaches her, desperate for help. The girl's grandmother, Betsy, is in danger: she's been receiving anonymous threats, and someone even broke into her home and turned on the gas burners in the middle of the night. But the local police think the elderly woman's just not as sharp as she used to be. While Ali struggles to find a way to protect Betsy before it's too late, Sister Anselm needs her help as well, and the two race the clock to uncover the secrets that The Family has hidden for so long--before someone comes back to bury them forever. From the New York Times bestselling author hailed for her "inimitable, take-no-prisoners style" (Kirkus Reviews), Cold Betrayal forces Ali to confront the face of evil, and the women who are being hunted"--

It was okay but not nearly as good as the earlier work by the author. Reynolds is so rich she can just pick up the phone to start a huge investigation costing thousands of dollars with several people doing her bidding and this makes it difficult to take her seriously as a "detective" (amateur or not)
This is the first JANCE books I have read and it was good.. Two story lines--both both good but the second was the most compelling.
Both subplots have strong moral underpinnings. The one involving threats to Ali's daughter-in-law's grandmother is the more plausible but less compellingly told. The other, beginning with a pregnant teenager on the run from a cult, has timely aspects. It's a page turner and takes up more of the book. While less plausibly told, it's highly gripping, and leaves the reader with important moral issues to think about.
Beware the OverDrive system! I've given up trying to check out any books that require the OverDrive app... it should be called UnderDesigned!
Another page turner from Jance, involving Ali Reynolds and her cohorts. Great read
Another Ali Reynolds story. Although I sometimes think J.A.Jance's storylines have become more convoluted, they are still a fast-paced read. I admire Jance's ability to take current events and weave the concepts into her stories. I have to say J.P Beaumont is still my favorite J.A. Jance character
Enjoyed this book as well as all of J.A. Jance's books. Easy to get interested and remain interested in what would happen next.
Another high-tech mystery with Ali Reynolds and new husband and cyber security mogul B. Simpson. Ali draws on B. and her other friends at High Noon who employ surveilance cameras, drones and the fastest DNA lab in the world to help solve the mystery of an injured girl and her newborn baby. You have to love Ali's two octagenarian cohorts: patient advocate Sister Anselm and "butler" Leland Brooks. Of course the whole story is crazy outlandish, even getting the governor of Arizona involved this time but it's all in good fun. There's also a side story about Ali's daughter-in-law's grandmother that takes place in Bemidji. One of the best things about this series, especially lately, is there are fewer dead bodies and more recoveries and happy endings (except for the baddies of course!).
Could not put it down. Had two story lines vying for Ali's attention, both gripping.

At first glance, Prezi Pro may seem like an inferior example of presentation software. But closer inspection reveals that Prezi Pro is simply so unique, comparing it to traditional slideshow makers just does not do it justice. Prezi Pro displays information not as a series of slides, but as one large board that zooms in on specific information or images. So while Prezi Pro doesn't offer features like slide transitions, object animations, master slides or timed slide progression, it does offer a few features that are comparable.
With Prezi Pro, a presentation is created as a whole board. You lay out the information and visual aids however you like, then you create a "path" for the pan-and-zoom functions to follow. The end result? A presentation that starts with one bit of information, zooms out, pans to another bit of information, zooms in, etc. Certainly an interesting alternative to typical slideshow presentation.
Prezi Pro does have a few things in common with traditional slideshow software. You can add text and multimedia items, like photo, video and audio files. There are two cookie-cutter shape options, as well as the word processing ability to do bulleted text. There are also 10 themes to choose from, which include color palates and fonts. You can create your own theme and save it for future use, as well. And there is a form of paragraph style functionality – you can preset three styles and choose from them when you create text blocks.
Not surprisingly, the user interface differs greatly from other slideshow makers. We like that when you click an object, a tool cursor pops up that lets you resize, rotate or move the object. This is a refreshing and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional bounding boxes. The software has a number of other navigational nuances that take some getting used to, but they are quite intuitive to master.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of Prezi Pro is that it is merely the desktop version of Prezi, which is an subscription-based, online-only web app for presentation creation. Once you purchase a year-long subscription to Prezi Pro, you download the desktop presentation software separately. This has a few pros and cons to it. The obvious benefit is that you can access, create and display presentations from any computer that has an internet connection, even if it doesn't have the desktop application installed. The downside is that you are required to commit to a year of subscription time, and you'll need an internet connection to install the desktop application and sync it with the online app's server.
Fortunately, Prezi Pro has some great file compatibility options. Though you can't save as or open PowerPoint files for obvious reasons, you can save your presentations as movies, PDF files, image files or HTML web-ready files.
Help and support options are more than adequate. The user manual requires an internet connection, unfortunately, but it is quite helpful. You can contact the Prezi support team via email, online email form or even via the company's Twitter handle. And of course, there's the standard user message boards, as well as video tutorials. There are also premium support options for one-on-one help.
Our favorite help and support feature is the getting started video. After you make your purchase, the site offers you three video lessons on using the software and a few sample presentations. Clearly, the developers realize that Prezi Pro is different to use, and they are quite willing to help everyone get used to it.

New book on Fr John Kenyon, the 'Rebel Priest'
On July 28, 1848 Father John Kenyon wrote the following note in his parish register at Chapel House, Templederry: 'This evening I have heard of a rebellion in South Tipperary under the leadership of William Smith O'Brien -- may God speed it.' Hours earlier he had turned down a request from William Smith O'Brien to lead forth his troops and commence the rising in North Tipperary, an act that would hopefully ignite the spirit of the Limerick contingent, under the leadership of Richard O'Gorman. O'Brien considered Kenyon's involvement to be so strategic that he sent three of his finest men Thomas Francis Meagher, John Blake Dillon and Maurice Leyne to convince the rebel priest to join the rising. Kenyons blunt refusal in the belief that it was 'a bootless struggle' was the final straw in the Young Ireland rising of 1848. Meagher later agreed, suggesting that it was not a rebellion, but a blunder.
Within a short time the leaders were arrested. The state trials were held in Clonmel where O'Brien, McManus, O'Donoghue, and Meagher were sentenced to death. After public outcry, the sentences were commuted to transportation. The London Evening Standard questioned the politics behind the prosecutions, and wondered, 'why not put Father Kenyon in the dock beside Mr O'Brien, if there is sufficient evidence to convict Father Kenyon as Mr O'Brien.' This was a reference to a comment made at the trials where O'Brien's defence lawyer questioned how the jury could 'convict the Protestant agitator in the dock, while the Catholic priest [Kenyon] walked abroad in the freshness of freedom.
The life of the rebel priest is told a new book by Tim Boland, a retired primary teacher from Ballinaclough, Nenagh. In 2004 he was awarded an M.A. in Local History by the University of Limerick followed in 2009 by a PhD from the same institution.
The dismal failure of the rebellion at Ballingarry, his personal dilemma resulting in his non-involvement, along with the devasting horrors of starvation, sapped the ambition and vitality from the Templederry PP Fr Kenyon. Correspondence with Father Croke (the future Archbishop of Cashel) on the land question displayed a previously absent negativity and hopelessness. Despite two separate nominations for parliament — one for Limerick, and one for Tipperary (1866) — the fire never returned to the priest once referred to as 'the Young Ireland clerical hatchet man'. The only occasion that seemed to rekindle that fire was the funeral of his friend Terence Bellew McManus in 1863. However, his efforts to re-live the Young Ireland era were painfully thwarted. The Fenians were now in control and John Kenyon no longer held influence with nationalist minded Irishmen.
Father John Kenyon, The Rebel Priest presents the first complete account of his meteoric rise in the Young Ireland Movement after the transportation of his close friend John Mitchel. It deals with his serious conflict of interest between church and physical force, culminating in his suspension from clerical duties in the lead up to the rising. Despite his attempts to circumvent his bishop Dr Kennedy, by interceding with Archbishop Slattery of Cashel, he was forced to concede to the requirements of the church that he would not get involved in rebellion unless he saw a realistic chance of victory.
Kenyon's life was immersed in controversary. As a young priest he was removed from Ennis because from his altar he accused Protestants as being 'perverts.' Yet within a few short years his friendship with Davis, Mitchel, Martin, and the other Protestant members of Young Ireland led him to suggest in later life that a northern Presbyterian had as good a chance of entering heaven as a Catholic priest.
After Daniel O'Connell's death in 1847, Kenyon caused international controversary when, through the Nation, he condemned the Liberator's political career as achieving nothing. He questioned the benefits of Catholic Emancipation, and totally condemned the Repeal campaign as a cash cow for O'Connell and his family.
As a close friend of Mitchel, Kenyon refused to condemn slavery. His views were not as extreme, however, suggesting that we are all slaves, and that we should solve our own problems before attempting to become involved in the affairs of another state. Nonetheless, he secured for himself the title of 'slave tolerating clergyman of Tipperary.'
Kenyon was twice suspended from clerical duties by his bishop, Dr Kennedy. He was twice found guilty of breaching the planning laws, and even had a house taken by the revenue authorities after he refused to pay due taxation. Even in death Kenyon stirred controversary when his will was contested in court. An intriguing case followed between Peter Gill, a close personal friend of Kenyon and Dr McEvilly, bishop of Galway...
Charles Gavan Duffy summed up Kenyon most aptly when he wrote: 'He was a man greatly, but unevenly gifted. With more worldly wisdom he might have been a Swift; with more spirituality and fidelity he might, perhaps, have been a Savonarola'.
Two hundred years after the birth of John Kenyon (1812) this work throws new light on the failure of the Young Ireland rebellion, and the eccentric clergyman/politician whose philosophies, although often controversial, maintain certain relevance in the twenty-first century. For example, he offered some financial advice, possibly far more appropriate in this century than when given in the nineteenth: 'Money is the algebraist's x; it may represent nothing.'
Father John Kenyon, The Rebel Priest, by Tim Boland is available at bookshops and also online.

How much is Moe worth? He is in a tough spot. Play out the QO may make some sense but he won't be getting a ton of minutes next year to really showcase his talents for his next deal. Maybe something like 3/15 is a good compromise for both sides. Get it done NeO! Paul Allen's money doesn't spend itself.

Actress Jennifer Aniston, the new celebrity spokesperson for Aveeno products, is a green celebrity worth getting to know. As a loving pet owner and one of the most popular pet friendly celebrities, Aniston lost her beloved Welsh Corgi-Terrier mix, Norman, to old age last May. Soon thereafter, she proved her love by tattooing her dog's name on her foot — presumably so he could always walk with her wherever she went in life while moving forward. That touching sentimental gesture got her noticed by the pet lovers of the world — leading entertainment news sources to speculate that she had been such a caring mom to her pup that perhaps she was ready for motherhood. Gather Celebs is speculating she may or may not be preggo. As of today, Jan. 26, there is no evidence that a baby bump is present — but she is making strides to be more committed to using her star power wisely advocating for animal rights, saving the planet and promoting the betterment of human lives.
For starters, Aniston is serious about living in eco-friendly housing with her pets. According to Ecorazzi, her Beverly Hills, California home had solar arrays for her roof, solar-cell-embedded chimney covers, and extensive water-conserving landscaping outside — giving her a great place to walk with man's [woman's] best friend. She bought the private estate for $13.5 million in 2006 and was said to have put $15 million in eco-friendly renovations during construction projects that went on for more than two years. Sadly, never once did the star or any contractor discuss whether or not she was making more room for pets or babies. In fact, all the products she installed to lower her carbon footprint help her reduce the cost of living in her houses exponentially (which could help her fund buying diapers for baby or poop bags to clean up the yard when picking pet waste up after puppy).
She may have gotten a taste of living more modestly and picked up a few eco-friendly lifestyle habits like conserving resources and recycling when spent a year in Greece as a child. However, her New York upbringing — where stars like Leo DeCaprio have been building luxury homes with builders who specialize in designing high-tech sustainable homes — has made her the eco-chic actress she is today. Technically speaking, Aniston is also one of the most pot-friendly celebs, a celebrity stoner diva say inside sources who reveal she smokes weed daily.
Smoking pot may or may not be what fuels her creativity. She attended her first serious acting school at the "Fame" school, New York's School of Performing Arts quite early, but she had a weak career until she auditioned for a role in the television comedy, "Friends." Her performance on the comedy show gained her a large audience that stayed with Aniston as she went into the movie star stratosphere.
Born on February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks, California, her parents are actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow. John was a famous soap opera star — and his antics may be what have given his daughter a flair for drama.
Aniston was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.The two star celebs split when she refused to have children because she did not want to wreck her figure and she did not want to adopt because she claimed she's rather be working, working out, doing yoga, or partying while sunbathing at the beach.
Today, she is engaged to 41-year-old fiancé Justin Theroux. She the subject of so many tabloid pregnancy reports, followed by bikini body photos that her audience has grown annoyed with the repeating drama. The most recent report from Enstars has Anniston going through fertility treatments and expecting twins, yet displaying her trademark flat abs at the beach.
When will the pet-friendly actress have a baby might be the biggest question for her die-hard fans, but here at Green Celebrity Network we're far more interested in when she will adopt more puppies. And, of course, right now she's on our star watch for her humanitarian activities.
So far, she's has worked on several projects for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. She started with the Thanks and Giving Campaign and has been involved with several more campaigns. Aniston is also a widely known as a celebrity contributor to Habitat for Humanity. In addition, she openly supports the Gay and Lesbian community. The actress also received the GLAAD Vanguard award for her work in building understanding and awareness.
Will baby-making happen for her in 2013? Who knows. For now, it seems like a better option for green celeb gossip sources to speculate on what sustainable eco-friendly fashions she and her celebrity friends might wear to her upcoming wedding.

Sandy the first AirTran Airways' Teal Flamingo found today at McKinley Museum and National Memorial in Canton, Ohio
Green, OH: One of AirTran Airways' four lost teal flamingos is on its way back to Orlando, Florida after being found today at the McKinley Museum and National Memorial in Canton, Ohio. Lydia Howenstine of North Canton rescued Sandy at 6:00 a.m. EST. Sandy and her three teal-feathered friends Shiny, Shelly and Sunny, apparently confused by Ohio's unseasonably warm winter weather, lost their way and need to be returned to Florida as soon as possible.
AirTran Airways and Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) peppered Northeast Ohio with 3,000 pink plastic yard flamingos -- along with four teal misfits -- as a tribute to the airline's nonstop routes between Akron-Canton and Ft. Lauderdale (new!), Ft. Myers, Tampa and Orlando. The contest called FlaminGO to AirTran.com was launched during the airline's Ft. Lauderdale flight celebration at CAK on January 4, 2007. The four strategically placed grand-prize teal flamingos will win their lucky finders a set of tickets on AirTran Airways.
"Thank goodness Sandy has been found," said airport marketing & communications director Kristie VanAuken. "She's a little bit confused but in very good health. We are sending her back to Orlando today aboard a comfy new AirTran Airways' Boeing 717 jet. We advise bird- watchers to still be on the lookout for Shiny, Shelly and Sunny, as we are quickly closing in on their locations."
Be on the lookout for the four wayward flamingos until January 12, 2007 when the contest ends (visit http://www.airtran.com for contest rules). Jet-setters may have to go out on a limb in their flamingo search, but AirTran Airways A+ Rewards members can log on to http://www.airtran.com/flamingos and receive clues as to the whereabouts of the teal flamingos every day. Who knew bird-watching could be so much fun?
About Akron-Canton Airport
The airport dedicated its new, spacious, four-gate passenger concourse in early May and celebrated its sixtieth birthday in October, 2006. The concourse was the centerpiece of the airport's $60 million, five-year STAR expansion project which also wrapped up in October. Other elements of STAR included longer runways, a new baggage claim wing, additional car parking, and a new Arby's and Great Lakes Brewing Company brew pub. Additional information including flight reservations, driving instructions, and a relaxation station is available at www.akroncantonairport.com, CAK's new web portal.

The Chinese dragon represents imperial power, good fortune, water and spirituality. Dragons were originally seen in totem poles and often appear to be a combination of several animals.Continue Reading
In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes the power of the emperor, as it was believed that the emperors themselves were descendants of dragons. As a national symbol, the dragon appeared on the Chinese flag during the Qing Dynasty and was carved into tombs, shrines and palaces.
The dragon also represents water because dragons were traditionally believed to have power over bodies of water and rainfall. It is a spiritual image that's wise and friendly and viewed as a powerful force of life.
Dragons are often visualized as a combination of animals, including the deer, snake, tiger and eagle. They represent eternity, as seen in the Yin-Yang symbol, as well as celestial power, luck, wealth, safety and blessings.Learn more about Cultures & Traditions
