When someone joins the U.S. military, he or she makes a sacrifice only a handful of people in the U.S. will ever experience. These select few will serve the nation in different career fields, which will make their experiences vastly different. Some will get to travel the world, but never set foot on a battlefield. Others may be entrenched in combat for most of their Air Force careers.
On May 6, three special tactics Airmen received medals for their actions in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. According to the Air Force Special Operations Command, the mission entailed American and Afghan special forces units infiltrating a known enemy area on Sept. 27, 2014, to "disrupt insurgent operations, including drug and weapons cache, and enemy command and control.
For the next 48 hours, Tech. Sgt. Matthew Greiner, Senior Airman Dustin Temple and Senior Airman Goodie Goodman, 21st Special Tactics Squadron combat controllers, fought not only for their own survival, but for the lives of their fellow wingmen and Afghan teammates. Read more here.

Our children are a gift to us, and just as we would not neglect their physical needs, we do not want to neglect their educational needs. Sometimes, for reasons we may not know, our children have learning differences...they may start to walk later, start to talk later--or may even be unintelligible except to those of us closest to them.
When that happens, it's important to know that we have someplace to turn. Whether your child is home-schooled, educated in a private or religiously affiliated school, or in the public school, the Special Services Department of West Bonner County School District #83 wants everyone in the community to be aware that all children are entitled to support, ages preschool through 21.

About B+It's not a grade. It's an attitude.
Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer ®
The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life of Andrew McDonough. Andrew battled leukemia, septic shock and complications of childhood cancer for 167 days before passing away on July 14, 2007, at the age of 14. Andrew's B+ blood type became his family's and friends' motto throughout his fight against childhood cancer — to "Be Positive".
The B+ Foundation is about Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer — raising money through dance marathons, 5Ks, T-shirt sales and more, to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer nationwide. The B+ Foundation also funds critical, cutting-edge childhood cancer research.
Watch and Learn About B+
I truly feel like we've had a place to turn to in The B+ organization. I have so much thanks in my heart for you and your donors.—B+ Hero Liam's Mom
Our Mission
Provide financial assistance to families of children with cancer.
We have helped thousands of families across the country — financially and emotionally — as they care for their child with cancer. Through The B+ Family Assistance Program, The B+ Foundation is one of the largest providers of financial assistance to families of kids with cancer in the United States. —Get Help Now>
Fund research to find cures for childhood cancers and advancements in treatment protocols.
The B+ Foundation has provided research grants to institutions such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (TN), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (MA), Seattle Children's Hospital (WA), Children's Oncology Group, and the Nemours Center for Childhood Cancer Research (DE). With your support, there are children and teens alive today due to research funded in part by The B+ Foundation.
Increase awareness of childhood cancer and advocate for increased research funds.
Sadly, less than 4% of the federal government's cancer research budget is used for childhood cancer research. The B+ Foundation helped create the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer and is honored to be a member of the Alliance for Childhood Cancer to advocate for more government funds.
Spread the B+ message!
As it says on B+ T-shirts, "It's not a grade. It's an attitude." By spreading the B+ — Be Positive — message through outreach efforts and talks, we share the lessons that Andrew taught us: have fun, set goals and try your best, show affection, and be comfortable with yourself. We all need to "Live Like Andrew."
Andrew's Story
The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the memory of Andrew, a 14-year-old student-athlete from Wilmington, Delaware. January 27, 2007, Andrew helped lead his team to victory in a Pennsylvania state championship soccer tournament. Within 48 hours, he was in cardiac arrest. The diagnosis was AML Leukemia. The doctors didn't expect Andrew to live through the night. Amazingly, Andrew fought for 167 days and went to Heaven on July 14, 2007.
Andrew's life was far too brief, but he will be remembered forever for his wonderful sense of humor and kindness for all. His personality had a special magic, and his enthusiasm for life was infectious.

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
I'm going to start this article the way I was taught to never, ever do: The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines brunette as "a person having brown or black hair." (I am so sorry, Mrs. Stenner. I will never do that again.)
That means a hell of a lot of people are brunettes (and brunets, because apparently there's a male version of the word that I didn't know about until today), and within that classification is a wide spectrum of skin tones, from alabaster to cacao.
Surely there's no single makeup color that looks beautiful on everyone with brown hair.
Oh, but there is--or at least Physicians Formula would like to convince you there is.
Their new blush--I'm going to put the name in quotation marks so you know where it begins and ends--called "Powder Palette Multi-Colored Custom Blush Ultra-Glam Bombshell Glow! for Brunettes" promises to not only complement but play up your hair color while enhancing your skin tone, which, as we've established, could be pretty much any shade skin comes in.
To see if it does what it says, I recruited five other brunettes in the office to test it with me.
Both Baze and Tiffany take exception to the dictionary definition of brunette, but the dictionary is kind of the authority on, like, everything, so...
Anyway, no one looked bad wearing the blush, but no one felt that it was the most flattering blush they'd ever tried, either. In addition to being worn traditionally, it can also be applied wet, which may be the key to it looking more compatible with darker skin.
There's also a Powder Palette Multi-Colored Custom Blush Ultra-Glam Bombshell Glow! for Blondes, which is a mosaic of cooler pinks than this one.
Sorry, redheads, no unifying blush for you.

I'm not really one to go on about my fitness reigeme (or lack of it) in public places like my blog (but hey, taking photos of my husband napping is fine ;), but if you are a follower on instagram, you may have noticed my recent burst of running photos since the day after Boxing day.
Yep, I've jumped on the "mileaday" instagram bandwagon and am so glad I have.
Although fitness isn't probably the easiest way to loose weight (monitoring food intake is the answer people!) it definitely makes me feel better, and also helps me to look at the delicious cupcake in front of me and think "this baby is about X amount of torture on that treadmill running".
If you are feeling low, sluggish or just wanting to trim back some of that Christmas-coat you're wearing, how about joining in with me, jogging/walking/whatever a mile a day (that's about 1.6km) and only takes around 10 minutes to jog.
I've been doing it on my treadmill and (shock horror) found out a few days ago that the mileage thingy was not accurate and I was actually doing 2 miles a day! Here I was thinking I was the slowest person in the world taking 20 minutes to jog a mile!
I'd also highly recommend this app for android/iphone users. Fabulous way to make you aware of what you are actually eating, it's easy to use and on special at the moment (plus there a free version if you want to give it a trial).
I didn't notice much difference until I starting using the Noom app and monitoring what I was eating... cause jogging while shovelling down Christmas leftovers doesn't usually get that great a result.
You can do it people!
p.s. and if you can't exercise, I'd still recommend the Noom app for food intake awareness!
p.p.s. Symon is thinking of starting his own instagram hashtag, #milewhenever... not quite sure when he's going to start it though.

To Love Somebody
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got ?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
There's brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

Technically, I've been here the whole time. Problem is that I've been a complete slacker on my blog entries. Actually, slacker might be a little generous, I'll go with complete failure on my blog entries.
As you can tell by the header, I'm gainfully employed again and somewhere along the way, 40-50 hours of my weeks are now devoted to that work thing. I'd like to say it hasn't impacted my writing/tweeting/etc., but that's life.
The work is good, I'm back in Consulting and the clients have definitely been experiencing a turnaround of some degree. Many more projects out there and a lot of roles to be filled. Consulting is an interesting job because of the need to be such a utility player. You're that baseball player that can switch from 2nd, to right field, back to shortstop. In consulting you've got to be able to put yourself in a number of roles, so I'm getting good experience and really enjoy the company I'm working for.
I'm going to put forth a concerted effort to make more entries on here and look forward to hearing any comments you've got for me. Be on the lookout for my running entries, tracking my New Years Resolution of running 1,000 miles in 2010 (currently about 280 down!).

13 Useful Android Widgets iPhone Users Wish They Had
One of the best things about Android is its flexibility - meaning you can customize it any way you want with widgets and themes.
Widgets are interactive icons that live on your phone's home screen. They show you information without requiring you to launch an app or dig around in your phone's settings.
Widgets have been available for almost as long as Android has existed, but they've become more polished and functional over the years.
Apple recently introduced a similar functionality to the iPhone with iOS 8, but it only works with a limited number of apps and lives in the Notification drawer rather than the home screen.
1.Weather is an excellent weather app with tons of widget styles to choose from.
2.The Google Keep widget is a great way to quickly see your to-do list....

Meet Up With Previous Colleagues
My daughter is really active and playful that she often gets cuts and bruises whenever she plays. She even has her finger got stuck at the door that we need to bring her to the orthopedic doctor to see if it got fractured. Anyway, there are times that she doesn't like her cuts to be touched because the medicines and ointments we apply maybe stings that she doesn't want to put some on. A friend told me to try boiron products for the bruises so now I'm searching the net to find boiron ointments that I can apply to her. Hopefully when we try it on her, she won't complain anymore.
Batch Christmas Party
My high school batch mates are preparing for a Christmas party which is scheduled on Dec 22. We are all looking forward to it because we haven't seen for a long time some of the batch mates who confirmed. Right now, the committee is really working hard to make sure that everything will go smoothly during the event and that everyone will have lots of fun. I'm trying to help in the preparations and hopefully things will turn out as planned. Good luck to us! J
Batteries Needed
Most of my kids' toys need batteries and they often complain when the toys don't move anymore because it has no more batteries. My mom brought batteries before when they arrived from the US but almost all are used already and we're running out of stock. We are thinking of buying eneloops from thomasdistributing because they said that these are very good rechargeable batteries which is perfect for what we really need. Hopefully when we have this already, kids won't be complaining anymore.
Trick or Treat at BSP
Another late post but still I'd like to share with you. Last Oct. 30, Paul brought our kids to his office for trick or treat. I was in training during that time that I was not able to go with them and just asked one of the nannies to go with Paul so she can take care of the kids while Paul is still working.
My kids had so much fun especially since they are with their cousins whose dad works at BSP too. They took home lots of candies and both kids even won awards. Lance won the Best in Dancing (Gangnam Style) while Hannah won Best in Costume for the girls. My nephew on the other hand won Mr. Halloween 2012. J Both kids received special prizes for that.
They were both tired upon arriving home but can't help to share with us the candies they got and also shared stories of what they did. I was really glad that they were able to go trick or treating at Paul's office because I was not able to register them to any trick or treat activities at the mall. And more importantly, both kids said they had so much fun. J

I have been a vegetarian since 6th grade, the only time Ive eaten beef is when I was pregnant. Being a vegetarian for so long has given me the opportunity to play with my food. I have found things I love, things I hate, things that are good for me and who to balance the things I like but aren't healthy. This salad is the perfect salad to combine things you like with things that seem like they wouldn't be the best tasting on their own.
Here is what I use in mine:
Feta cheese
Romaine lettuce
salt and pepper
Italian dressing
Its fairly easy to make and very quick, I usually like to pair it with white wine and either alfredo or lasagna. Really you can pair it with anything, those are just my favorites, I don't have measurements for the salad because everything in it is super healthy. The things you should go fairly light on are the dressing, and feta cheese. The dressing should not drench your salad, you can if you want but that is a lot of needed and unnecessary calories.
I hope this inspires you to try out new things in your salads to make them easier to eat and much more enjoyable to eat!
Much love,

In a new television spot, Denny's uses a song that sounds suspiciously like a track from the first Beck level in Sound Shapes.
people do this in adds all the time, even though I didnt watch this one its not a surprise.
I always hear stuff like that where you hear a song ripped off and then a few notes are different and then they can use a familiar tune for free without having to pay royalties. Happens with rock songs alot in cheap commercials.

Update: Commuters in New Jersy were horrified this morning as a New Jersey Transit train crashed into the station in Hoboken at full speed — Three Deaths, 100 injuries reported.
Initial reports are suggesting operator error, not a deliberate act.
A New Jersey transit train crashed into the Hoboken station Thursday morning, causing at least three deaths, more than 100 injuries and travel chaos for commuters making their way into Manhattan during rush hour.
The crash happened around 8:30am, and involved the No. 1614 Pascack Valley line train. The train left Spring Valley, New York at 7:23am and was scheduled to arrive in Hoboken at 8:38am, but was running late.
Passengers on the train said the it never slowed down as it approached the terminal, crashing at high speed into the terminal which tens of thousands of people use to travel into New York City every day.
Three people have been confirmed dead and more than 100 people have been injured – with multiple in critical condition. One of the fatalities appears to be a woman in her 30s who was standing on the platform when the train came barreling towards her.
Commuters in New Jersy were horrified this morning as a New Jersey Transit train crashed into the station in Hoboken at full speed. Multiple injuries, but no confirmed numbers yet.
Several passengers posted pictures showing severe damage at the station around 8:45 a.m., with hordes of commuters held up at the station.
"My train just ran full force into Hoboken Station," Twitter user @jaydanahy wrote…
…NJ Transit said it is suspending service in and out of the station "due to a train accident." But it offered no other immediate details about the crash. PATH service at the station is also suspended.

Let get personal about making it personal!
Since When? Originating back in 350BC a monogram was a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters or other graphemes to form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos.
In todays day and age the monogram has been simplified and instead of overlapping and creating a graphic it is simply your initals with or without punctuation.
Why use it? A monogram is a classic and personal touch traditionally used on items of importance or significance. Just like a royal seal it denotes importance and implies sophistication, as having something personalised incurs extra expense and is always worth the wait.
When? If your giving a gift and you want to show that person just how important they are to you then this is that extra step. It could be for any occasion birthday, fathers day, mothers day, congratulations for retirement or landing the dream job. Monograms are on goods carried by important people, so if you want that special someone to feel they are at the top of your list then monogrammed goods are the way to do it.
Now more than ever it's easy to add a monogram to any Hammered Leatherworks goods. You simply select-->
Yes please and type the initials and WHIZ BANG POP a custom piece will be on its way to you.

March 24 – April 4, 2008
PLAySPACE Gallery
1111 Eighth Street San Francisco, CA 94107
Featuring work by Susy Bielak, Julia Goodman, Katie Hart, Klea McKenna, and Adrienne Skye Roberts
To trace the landscape of a memory is a complex and disorienting endeavor. While our memories continually inform us of ourselves, our histories, our relationships, they remain fractured, embellished and constantly changing shape. Between Memory and Invention features five artists who focus explicitly on biography and memory—including personal narratives and the stories of family, friends and strangers. The artists' use storytelling, writing, the act of collecting, as well as dialogue and correspondence as methods for exploring the personal. Through this process they become the medium for the translation itself, offering subjective interpretations of loss, identity, physical and emotional ruptures. In charting the complicated internal landscape of memory, the artists featured in Between Memory and Invention attempt to make tangible the intangible and make visible that which is otherwise unseen.


text: At Salute Products Inc AR500 Steel Targets are available at a special price. You can find a variety of Steel Targets at reasonable price here. It is best place for purchasing shooting targets online. It is the place for purchasing quality targets. Almost all of our Salute customers spend considerable money on quality weapons and ammo. Your time and resources are valuable. PLEASE beware of discount gun supply "puppy mills" peddling inferior, particularly foreign products. Not all AR500 Armor Plate is created equal! Our unique Salute "DOD Mil Spec" Base (meets US Department of Defense Military Specifications) is the finest static deflection mounting system in the world. But it functions best when coupled with Salute approved AR500 Armor Plate. Our Salute Large Spring Base has a different mounting system that does not use welds on the target. For this reason this base works better for high velocity rifle, carbine, and heavy impact shotgun fire. As the Salute Large Targets are heavier and more robust, they don?t get flung down as violently when hit, as do our Salute Small Spring Targets on their Bases. Vibration and violent impact can have a very adverse affect on welds, steel tubing, and inferior steel plate. Please remember that our Small Base and Targets are primarily designed for the full range of pistol calibers. Yes, they will hold up to occasional, infrequent, but not high volume heavy usage, hot rifle rounds over a sustained period of time. Our Salute AR500 armor plate is the finest on the market (again note that not all advertised AR500 steel is created equal). We deliberately test our Salute AR500 with .30-06 and .50 cal. Armor Piercing rounds. Sad to say, some of our competition, particularly high volume discount folks in Minnesota and Tennessee, or those claiming to be foremost in world outfitters, farm out their target orders to China, get very inferior products that are hard to classify as true AR500 armor plate. Yes, we test not just our own, but those who try to copy our designs! At Salute, we are American shooters first, not to mention combat veteran owned and operated. As our guys in the shop say of other brands: "BUY CHEAP, BUY TWICE."

I get the uncomfortable impression that you have to WANT to believe it's true...and desire should have no part in the truth. It's either true, or it isn't, regardless of how one feels. Additionally, if one wants it enough, they will believe something regardless of whether it's true or not. This has that flavor to it. Have you tried meditation? Flower of Life studies? Sacred Geometry? The Bible contradicts itself at every turn...the "God" in the Bible is either evil or uncaring. There is no other excuse, and NO, "God" is not above our moral standards. That is NOT how you treat your creation, no matter what. Anyway, you've shown me yours, now I want to show you mine. Google "Flower of Life" and "Fruit of Life", "Sacred geometry" and "Law of One". They all play their role in the vast study of the universe and divinity itself.

Thanks for the info. I knew a bit about him already.
In my own experience I have advanced much more since setting the Gospels down. Why waste time deciphering something when the answers are readily found elsewhere.
Even if the truths that you have stumbled upon can be "interpreted" from the scriptures, it has been my experience that most people of faith don't ever come close to seeing them. When you mention Jesus and the bible being the truth, most people just agree without understanding that you are talking about something other than the OS. For me, having seen that "god" is unloving and uncaring makes the whole Jesus, love and light and compassion angle incorrect.

Maybe they should make Jesus into an action movie. Show zombie Jesus coming from the sky and zombies coming out of their graves and then Jesus being the leader of the zombies. Throw in some cool action movie, a guy who falls in love with some girl, and now we have a movie (and it would be completely Biblical) - but how unrealistic it is will also be evident.

Sorry, that was a drive by posting.
What I meant was that the love and light, that many seem to think of as the pinnacle of human existence, isn't any more or less important than other emotions.
I think that the association of love and light to a certain kind of energy is inaccurate and it's this association that gives the beings that have it, a godlike aspect. It makes then look/feel like someone that loves and watches over us when in fact they couldn't care less, not even to judge us.

No problem.
Yes I have a child and my life is full of love but that is not what I was talking about.
I was talking about taking this need that we seem to have for love and seeing a source of love in something which feels indifferent towards us.

Yes there is an order to it but that is not what I am referring to as uncaring. I also don't mean it like a parent looking out for their child and their child interpreting it as a punishment.
I mean, seeing something and feeling it is god, or at least filled with its spirit and oozing love and then seeing it again and realizing that it just doesn't care, one way or the other. It doesn't change the rest of the sensations of that type of experience.
It was eye opening, as a Christian, which I was at the time, to experience god filled with love and then experience the same being void of love. Made me think that many visions of "god" may have been like the first. If the truth is really like the second then where does that put all those philosophies based on the first kind of experiences?

The blood from the first blow was trickling down his face in a thin streak; he wiped it with his arm, and when he saw the stain, he said, "Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." At the third blow, he sank on his knees—his arms falling, but his hands still joined as if in prayer. With his face turned towards the altar of St. Benedict, he murmured in a low voice, "For the name of Jesus, and the defence of the Church, I am willing to die." Without moving hand or foot, he fell fiat on his face as he spoke, and with such dignity that his mantle, which extended from head to foot, was not disarranged. In this posture he received a tremendous blow, aimed with such violence that the scalp or crown of the head was severed from the skull, and the sword snapped in two on the marble pavement. Hugh of Horsea planted his foot on the neck of the corpse, thrust his sword into the ghastly wound, and scattered the brains over the pavement. "Let us go—let us go," he said, in conclusion, "the traitor is dead; he will rise no more."
[Note: Thomas Becket (1119-1170). Chancellor and afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry II.; maintained a heroic, though perhaps ambitious and undesirable struggle with that king for the independence of the clergy; and ended his life by assassination at the hands of certain of Henry's servants.]

The triumph of her lieutenant, Mountjoy, flung its lustre over the last days of Elizabeth, but no outer triumph could break the gloom which gathered round the dying queen. Lonely as she had always been, her loneliness deepened as she drew towards the grave. The statesmen and warriors of her earlier days had dropped one by one from her council board; and their successors were watching her last moments, and intriguing for favour in the coming reign. The old splendour of her court waned and disappeared. Only officials remained about her, "the other of the council and nobility estrange themselves by all occasions." As she passed along in her progresses, the people, whose applause she courted, remained cold and silent. The temper of the age, in fact, was changing and isolating her as it changed. Her own England, the England which had grown up around her, serious, moral, prosaic, shrank coldly from this child of earth, and the renascence, brilliant, fanciful, unscrupulous, irreligious. She had enjoyed life as the men of her day enjoyed it, and now that they were gone she clung to it with a fierce tenacity. She hunted, she danced, she jested with her young favourites, she coquetted, and scolded, and frolicked at sixty-seven as she had done at thirty. "The queen," wrote a courtier, a few months before her death, "was never so gallant these many years, nor so set upon jollity." She persisted, in spite of opposition, in her gorgeous progresses from country-house to country-house.

Dancing with the Stars Results: Who Got the Boot?Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Dancing with the Stars gave viewers their first real shock of Season 18 last night
Following the withdrawal of Billy Dee Williams and last week's partner switch-up, the show had been lacking a bit of drama.
But that changed on Monday's Disney-themed installment, first thanks to Amy Purdy's wonderful waltz and Meryl Davis' sensational samba was sensational (Len, of course, referred to it as a whamba of a samba.")
Danica McKellar also knocked her quickstep "out of the park, according to guest judge Donny Osmond, while Charlie White put umbrellas to good use with a jazz routine to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
But the real tension arrived during elimination time.
Cody, NeNe and Candace were in the Bottom 3; and after NeNe was deemed safe, viewers were left in shock when it was announced... CODY SIMPSON is heading home.
"This has been a very new experience, an amazing experience, so it's tough, but it is what it is," said a shocked Cody, as a teary Witney referred to dancing with Simpsons as "an incredible experience" and that she hopes they stay close after the show.
What do you think, TV Fanatics? Did viewers eliminate the right contestant?

These reports have featured in at least 12 newspaper articles, amongst others in Mail & Guardian, Die Burger, Beeld, The Mercury, Business Day Live and Times Live. Mail & Guardian even devoted an editorial to our findings. You can read some of the articles below:
- Top marks vs 'could do better': Experts probe school performance riddle
- About 60% of South African pupils cannot read by end of grade 4, study shows
- Read between the lines, kids
- SA education: The poorest choice
- Poor children 'doomed' in early grades
- Editorial: Better matric marks start in grade R
- English teachers' incompetencies exposed after they fail vocabulary tests
- Groot gros leerlinge verstaan nie wat hulle lees
- Laerskole het groter steun nodig – kenners
The reports also caught the attention of Deputy President, Cyril Ramaphosa, who requested ReSEP to present to the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC), which he chairs.
On 10 June, Servaas van der Berg presented the highlighted key findings of both the reports to the HRDC in Johannesburg. His key message articulated the considerable reading deficits of children across the country and the relevance of a binding constraints framework for addressing issues of basic service delivery in education.
He also drew attention to concrete suggestions for addressing the reading crisis in the reports. The six key policy recommendations stressed at the end of his presentation included:
- Emphasizing reading as a unifying goal for primary schooling
- Continuing to test students regularly through reformulated ANAs as a measure of learning outcomes in primary schools
- Using DBE workbooks to measure curriculum coverage
- Teaching primary school teachers how to teach reading in African languages and in English
- Prioritizing the elimination of extreme class sizes in the Foundation Phase
- Giving more attention to reading in African languages.
It is satisfying to see our hard work coming to fruition. We hope that ReSEP's research will have a lasting effect on policy debates and developments to the benefit of all South African children.

Death of James Keegan
The sudden death occurred in his 92nd year on December 16th 2013 of Jim Keegan, Forgney, Moyvore. Jim was pre-deceased two years ago by his wife, Kathleen to whom he was married for 70 years. He was a well-known character in the local area, a member of the farming community and a hard worker all his life. People in the Ballymahon area got to know him down the years as he came in regularly to the local Cattle mart, he enjoyed meeting people there and in the shops. An active member of the local community, Jim loved to go to the Bog each year and also enjoyed sowing his garden, which he did with great pride. He also enjoyed going to the local pub, McCawleys in Moyvore, meeting the locals there and having a bit of craic with them all, in fact Jim actually had a pint or two in McCawleys the night before he died. Fr. Brilly, at Jim's Funeral mass praised him for all the work he did looking after the Church and the adjoining cemetery over a long number of years which he gave much of his time to. Everyone who has relations buried at Forgney are very grateful to Jim for the care he took each year , especially around Cemetery Sunday when the area always looked so well. A huge number of people called to Jim's home where he lay in repose to pay their respects to the Keegan family, and also at the Funeral Mass in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Forgney on the 19th December which bore testimony to the respect which is held for Jim and his family. His remains were laid to rest at the adjoining cemetery. We offer our deepest sympathy to Jim's sons Frank, Joe and Vincent, Forgney, daughters Gret (Croshea) Nuala (Milltown )and Eileen (Canada), his sister-in-law Mollie (Cloncullen), nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, daughters-in-law Brid, Julie and Ann, sons-in-law Tommy , Pat and Hank, cousins, relatives and friends. Hank and his daughter Andrea travelled over from Canada for the Funeral and Jim's grandson Barry was also over from Australia visiting his family at the time of his grandfather's death. May his Soul rest in peace.
Christmas Wedding
Many congratulations to Sean Carey, youngest son of Sean and Mary, Creevaghbeg who got married at a Civil ceremony on New Year's Eve to Ciara Kelly, daughter of Phil and Dermot from Athlone. A large number of the couple's family and friends attended the very enjoyable Ceremony and also their Wedding Reception down by the Shannon at the lovely Wineport Lodge, they had a great night by all accounts and rang in the New Year in style. Best man for Sean on his big day was one of his friends, Bernard Mulvihill ably assisted by groomsmen Michael Carey, Sean's brother and Michael Delaney, another of Sean's friends. Ciara looked stunning in her beautiful ivory gown with long veil while her Bridesmaids, also looking radiant, wore pretty light-pink dresses. Her Bridesmaids were Caroline Fallon, Sandra Fogarty and Angelinn Treglin, all friends of Ciara. The newlyweds will return to their home in Marian Tce following their Honeymoon in Thailand which we hope they enjoyed.We wish Sean and Ciara many long years of good health, wealth and happiness together.

Pumpkin Chickpea Salad with Chickpea Water Mayonnaise, you do not want to miss!
Pumpkin Chickpea Salad with Feta Chickpea Water Mayonnaise.
I think I have just invented a new thing. The Dinner Salad. We will get to the chickpea water mayonnaise in a minute because you really DO NOT want to miss it.
I had at least 4 other recipes on the go the other day when Skater asked what he could eat for dinner. Admittedly there was food in organised containers and trays on show in the kitchen, making him hungry. He is very respectful of food that appears to be sitting waiting to be eaten, for he knows it may just be part of a bigger and higher purpose. In other words he is wary of gobbling up something that hasn't been photographed!. That's why we have this dinner salad. Time and necessity. That is why I also thought you might like it
Dinner Salad is a bunch of ingredients thrown together and put onto one platter so that everyone can take what they want. The idea is to have a variety of ingredients that vary in texture and colour. At my house this always involves chickpeas but you might like to use cannellini beans and radicchio leaves with roasted sweet potatoes, roast carrots or red peppers, boconccini and crunchy roast potatoes. What ever the combination it is great because you can eat it warm or cold. It can be left over or freshly cooked. Spruced up with Parmesan or Feta with or without meat ( bacon or crispy salami), baby herbs, spinach, kale or parsley. Dinner Salad goes with everything from grilled Chicken, Tofu, Steak, Pork or an Omelette.
Fresh or Left over. It's up to You
Cook it all fresh or use some of what you have. Here, there was crispy bacon left from bacon and egg rolls at breakfast. A half a roast pumpkin sliced and warmly glistening on a tray and cooked because it had seen the inside of the fridge for too long. Roasted Pumpkin and Chickpeas are favourites for us and make the most perfect marriage with the Feta and Chickpea water mayonnaise. One of my personal favourites are the sugar snap peas that add that irresistible green crunch. You can pile all of the ingredients up as high as you like, it's up to you.
The only thing you need to know is how to make this great mayonnaise with the drained water from the chickpeas and 50- 100 gm of crumbly feta. This is great with the really crumbly drier feta as it gives the Mayonnaise a really nice texture. Don't stop there though you will want to spread it on sandwiches and through coleslaw and all other kinds of things. Look for the recipe after the video and a rough guide to making my Pumpkin Chickpea Dinner Salad. Or find more ideas on this earlier post too.
- 6 slices of pumpkin
- 400 ml chickpeas ( 1 can, drained and liquid reserved)
- 100 gm of sugar snap peas
- 1 sliced radish
- ¼ bunch of parsley leaves
- olive oil
- This will only work with an immersion blender
- 4 Tablespoons Chickpea water
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 20 ml lemon juice (1 Tablespoon)
- 250 ml oil. Rice bran or vegetable or nut oil (1 cup)
- 100 gm Feta ( very crumbly)
- (Salt to taste added after the Feta)
- You will need a measuring jug or the deep cylindrical container of your stick blender for this recipe.
- Put the water, dijon, salt and lemon juice in to the jug.
- Follow this with the oil. Put the immersion blender to the bottom of the jug and turn it on
- As the liquid thickens and turns white lift the blender to incorporate all of the oil and blend till white and thick. This will take approximately ½ a minute.

Fresh Spin on Vampires!Energy vampires and their society have remained hidden from humans for centuries; the phant (rogue vamps) are killing humans in sight of witnesses, putting the society in danger of discovery! Also threatening a new worldwide vampire treaty! Renee and James, human detectives are assigned to find the killer(s); Rafe, a negotiator (upper echelon e-vampire) is on the case, as well.Rafe seeks out Renee to discern what she's learned and discovers an unexpected attraction between them... A fresh spin on vampires. The story drags in spots and is action-packed in others. Liked the characters of Rafe and Renee, for the most part. Loved Halo and was intrigued by Leopold, Draz, and Sensha. A good paranormal romance. Looking forward to book 2. Book free for honest review thru Netgalley and publisher.by Vi Brandon on January 17, 2017

A Different Kind of Thirst?Thirst book one of the Energy Vampire series didn't leave me as excited as I wanted to be. The story as a whole was well written and as the reader I was able to get a clear idea of who all the characters were. It was the almost sterile nature in which it was written that threw me off. This entry has very good bones and would make an excellent series but with this one something was off. Usually, in anything that I read there is one thing the draws me into the story but in the case of this one there is a couple of things that was just ... I don't know ... irritating. I know the sycophants are the bad guys of the story due to their impure nature but the sheer repetition of the term is distracting at best. Also, the constant clean vs dirty thing is chaffing but this is one of the main ideas of the story (clean energy sources vs unclean energy sources). Since, this is the case it is necessary to make this idea understood but it is just repeated so often. As for the main characters, I wasn't drawn to them and even in their romantic scenes I didn't feel the fire but that isn't to say the appeal isn't there. All and all this is a good start to what should be a good series.by Angie C. on January 18, 2017

THIRST will not quench your desires, it will makeTHIRST is the first book in the new Energy Vampire series, and Jacquelyn Frank starts the series off on a high note. Detective Renee Holden knows that there is something wrong with the homicide that she is working, but no way would she believe that there are real vampires out there, even if the victim has two puncture wounds on the neck. Vampires are not real, but uber sexy men that make her desire rise and throw caution to the wind are. And Rafe DaSilva proves that with flying colors. Rafe is on the hunt for a rogue vampire and the best way to hunt the rouge is to follow the body count. With a peace summit coming up that would unite the whole of the energy vampires against the rogue's, Rafe will do what he needs to in order to keep his species safe. Even if it means using the delectable Renee, for more than just information. Yet all is not golden, and Rafe's enemies find his weakness and attack when neither expects. Now Renee knows what lurks in the shadows. Now Rafe not only has to worry about protecting Renee from his enemies, but also protecting Renee from her own inborn sense of right and wrong. Jacquelyn Frank is an amazing paranormal writer and she continues to show what makes her stories come alive. I really love a story that makes me feel not only the happiness, but also the pain and angst of the characters, and that is exactly what happened to me reading this. The dialogue between the characters was great, but it was the story itself that kept me entertained. I love vampires and reading a new take on them was great. I would highly recommend this story to anyone that likes a love story with elements of danger, intrigue, and super sexy love scenes.by Angela G. on March 04, 2017

A New Kind of VampireI am tempted to dismiss this book as vampire porn, but it does have several interesting and imaginative features. The concept of e-vampires is new to me and adds excitement and interest to the idea of creatures who feed on humans. Rafe, the lead vampire, is created in depth and is a charming and likeable character. Renee, the human female lead, is a little too perfect, but carries much of the story. The writing is clear and straightforward with a purely chronological timeline. I enjoyed the book, but I am not keyed up for more of Rafe and Renee.by Jay W. on January 18, 2017

Great start to a new vampire series!Another new author for me! I liked her writing style. I really enjoyed this twist to vampires and look forward to the next book in the series. I seem to be in the minority of liking this book, but I truly enjoyed it. Renee is good at her job as a NYC police homicide detective. She is known to sift through leads, has good instincts and is a hardnosed detective. She and her partner get a case that has them baffled. A man is killed in broad daylight and the witness swears he was bitten by a vampire. The woman gives a detailed description. Of course, they think it is a person that has dental implants, but they have to work the leads and see where it takes them. Rafe has to find out what the beautiful detective knows. He is responsible for the peace summit that is going to be held in NYC. He promises the Queen that he will get the information needed to find out who is threatening the vampire culture, as well as threatening the summit with the blatant killing of a human. Rafe follows Renee and strikes up a conversation with her. He is charming, handsome and Renee is attracted to this mysterious stranger. He asks her to go out for coffee, she hesitates, but takes him up on his offer and meets him at the coffee shop. He charms her and gives her his phone number. He told her I want you to want to see me again so the ball is in your court. Needless to say, Renee contacts him again and they go out on a date. They are attacked by rogue vampires known as sycophants. They kill two of the three, with the third threatening Renee that she isn't safe. Rafe, under vampire, law is not to divulge what they are to humans unless the human is approved by the council. Rafe is worried for Renee's safety and doesn't want anything to happen to her so he feels it necessary to tell her what they are and who he is. An energy vampire. They draw energy from hosts that are pure, clean living with no drug or alcohol abuse, clean eating and exercise. The theory you are what you eat. They pierce the back of the neck at the base of the spine between the neck and vertebrae drawing the electrical impulses from the spinal cord. They only take what they need and hypnotize the hosts, so they don't remember why they are feeling tired and a little run down. After 24-48 hours, the host is back to full strength. They also get energy from the sun. Renee is floored. There is a lot more to this story and I am not going to tell you anymore. The secondary characters are strong and some are outrageously funny! There are so many twists and turns in the story. It held my interest and it was so entertaining. I loved the idea of energy vampires. I can't wait for the next book in this series and can't wait to see what's next! If you want an interesting twist to your usual paranormal vampire series, give this one a try, I highly recommend it.by Mom's Cooking the Books on January 23, 2017
