Facebook has made it easier to run promotions on Facebook, which is good news for all page owners. The requirement for all promotions to be run through dedicated applications has now been removed, meaning that you can promote your page and business on your Page Timeline as well as in an app.
That means you can:
- Collect entries by having users post on the Page or comment/like a Page post
- Collect entries by having users message the Page
- Utilize likes as a voting mechanism
One area which Facebook has now tightened up on is tagging – the new Page Terms now prohibits Pages from tagging or encouraging people to tag themselves in content they are not actually in:
- It's OK to ask people to submit names of a new product in exchange for a chance to win a prize
- It's not OK to ask people tag themselves in pictures of a new product in exchange for a chance to win a prize
You can download the full Facebook Promotion Guidelinesas a PDF, here.
Great news for small businesses:
This is particularly good news for smaller businesses who may not have had the knowledge or resources to choose a good Facebook Promotions or Competition App, or might have found the process to run it confusing.
While we've worked with several low cost Facebook Apps for this purpose, starting from a typical cost of $10, it can be slightly time consuming to set up, and dissuades brands from last minute offers, giveaways and competitions, which remains a prime reason for choosing to follow a company on Facebook.
And it will encourage more experimentation with promotions, which is only a good thing.
Also good for larger businesses:
It's also good news for bigger companies, as often promotions and giveaways are constrained by time and effort, rather than budget and availability. This means that bigger Facebook pages will also be able to get more exposure and benefit from any contests and promotions which might be available last thing on a Friday, rather than missing the opportunity due to the hassles of setting up applications.
Top tip: Have boilerplate terms and conditions ready to go:
The one thing that all companies and promotions will still require are suitable terms and conditions to be legal in the country in which your business operates. Far too many companies fail to consider this in the planning stage and then find themselves unable to run offers and promotions, so it's well worth investing some time and effort to ensure you have a standard boilerplate Terms and Conditions which can be easily changed to be applicable for any promotion, and possibly a longer version available via a link to your website.

DAMASCUS, Syria, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- A Syrian revolutionary council claimed the death toll in the country tops 6,200 people since an uprising against the president began last March.
The latest estimate provided last year by the United Nations put the death toll in Syria at more than 5,000 since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began. The so-called General Committee of the Syria Revolution said in a statement issued to London's pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat the death toll as of Monday stood at 6,275 since March 15, 2011.
Assad issued an amnesty for crimes committed since the uprising began, the official Syrian Arab News Agency reports. The revolutionary council said the gesture shows Assad's regime is "in a predicament."
Syria maintains it is dealing with an armed insurgency. SANA reports Brig. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Hamid al-Awwad was assassinated by "terrorists" Monday.
Damascus allowed a monitoring team on the ground to ensure military forces were off the streets, in terms with an agreement reached last year with the Arab League. Some monitors have since resigned in protest of ongoing violence, however.
The Arab League said it will discuss the findings of the observer mission Sunday.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said during a weekend visit with Lebanese officials in Beirut that it was time to put an end to the bloodshed in neighboring Syria.
"I say again to President Assad of Syria: stop the violence," Ban said in a statement. "Stop killing your people."

Poor cropland fertility and a rapidly rising demand for food force Sahelian farmers to cultivate more land and shorten fallow periods. This mostly leads to a gradual decline in crop yields per hectare, which can be counterbalanced by the systematic use of livestock manure on cropland. To assess the potential and limits of manuring practices, annual nutrient budgets were established for different land-use types, based on forage and crop yields and livestock and cropland management in five village territories in western Niger, which were selected along the Sahelian climatic gradient. Stocking rates per km2 of pasturing area range from 8–22 tropical livestock units (TLU, animal of 250 kg live weight). Faecal excretion during grazing directly returns 18–25% of the consumed forage dry matter, 21–29% of the ingested nitrogen and 44–56% of ingested phosphorus to the grazed land. Corralling animals on fields at night leads to a spatial concentration of nutrients, benefiting at most 9% of the arable village land. Where livestock consume only 15–20% of the total amount of forage produced, there is some scope for increasing village livestock numbers in order to increase the area manured, but eventually manuring must be complemented by additional measures such as the application of inorganic fertilizers to sustain overall productivity of the farming systems.

Words in Different Dimensions: An Art Installation
By Angela Mare
Lauriston Girls' School runs an innovative and exciting Arts Festival biennially where the school community celebrates the breadth and depth of creative and artistic talent at the school. It is a major event run over a number of weeks and involving all departments. After much discussion it was decided that for 2015 the Library, in collaboration with the English Department and the Lauriston FabLab, would showcase the creative writing talents of our students. Through the FabLab students were able to develop a fusion between the written word and technology.
In their unit of work on
Alice in Wonderland
Year 7 students were asked to think about poetry creatively and to move from writing their own poetry in a linear way to the presentation of ideas and poetry using other dimensions. The aim was to create a 3D model that would be a visual representation of a poem and that would bring the poetic ideas and words to life in an exciting way. While many students chose to construct their poems in simple 2D shapes such as Cheshire cats, teapots and hats, others tackled the more difficult task of presenting their poem in an innovative 3D model.
So how were these poems created and constructed? Students were required to think about the main idea of their poem and to consider an image or form that expressed this idea and a design that most effectively reflected what they were trying to convey. Students then used Adobe Illustrator as a CAD programme to create the final design. This was then engraved into plywood using a laser cutter in the FabLab. For simple 2D designs this was all that was required. The 3D designs required further assembly.
A unique creation was an installation model designed and made by Year 11 student Ella Shepard. Senior students were invited to participate in this exciting challenge and Ella's piece became the centrepiece of the exhibition and an example of what can be achieved when using the FabLab to transform ideas and words into unexpected and original forms. This installation not only expressed but enhanced Ella's poetic ideas.
Ella's installation was titled 'Cyclones' and consisted of simple spiral discs with the words of the poem engraved into the wood. The spirals became cyclones and the stanzas of the poems could be read as they spiralled up into the cone or, from above, as they receded down into the cone. Each cyclone was suspended in a way that allowed them to spin, imitating a naturally occurring cyclone. It was an impressive installation, even more remarkable because it was created in the student's spare time.
Ella's enthusiasm and her keenness to think imaginatively and 'outside the square' in her approach to poetry resulted in a visually exciting, lyrical and complex work of art. The FabLab engaged and challenged students to use their creative faculties in a variety of ways and provided a rich opportunity for learning, discovery and the interplay of imagination and technology.

EL CENTRO, Calif. – In California, Governor Jerry Brown has signed a farm bill that will help change overtime pay rules for farm workers despite the push back from agricultural groups. "We know that it is going to have a drastic impact on Imperial Valley economy here. Our fieldworkers are definitely going to feel the effect of it," said Linsey Dale, Imperial County Farm Bureau executive director.
AB 1066 was introduced by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez who represents the 80th district in San Diego. The bill, signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown this week, will change the duration of a farm workers day from ten to eight hours over a period of time. That means overtime pay would kick in after eight hours instead of ten.
But instead of benefiting the entire farm worker community, it could lead agriculture companies to provide less jobs. Local farm workers say that this new bill could lead to new innovative ways in growing crops and could potentially replace farm workers with new machines. "We've just placed orders for two automated harvesters from England that will need twenty people to run those machines rather than 200 people clipping," says local farmer Larry Cox.
The new rules won't take effect until 2019, lowering the ten hour day by half an hour each year until it reaches the goal of the standard eight hour day. Farmers with fewer than 25 employees will have a three-year exemption and will not be required to adhere to the new law until 2022.
"Farmers do not set the price of the crops that they sell and so they have to rely on the market. When their cost goes up to produce that crop they have to cut somewhere. And this is one of the areas they will be forced to cut," added Dale.
"I think they got to look at California as being able to compete with other states or we are going to lose more and more people out of the state and jobs out of the state," said Cox.

This veggie burger is the bomb. That's all you need to know.
Really- it isn't the easiest thing to make. You do need a food processor. BUT this is the veggie burger to rule all veggie burgers. It is the most meaty, savory, filling alternative I have ever encountered in my 18 years as a vegetarian.
It is absolutely incredible, fairly low in fat, obviously low in cholesterol, but not your average brown rice-health-nut-veggie option. I use cheese in this, I use lots of seasonings, and I use white rice. Yes, I am a vegetarian, but as a Southerner and a Sicilian I refuse to eat anything I don't think is delicious just because dietary fads tell me to.
Brown rice tastes like cardboard- kinda like brown breads and…tree bark. Lots of brown things are not yummy (with the exception of Coca-Cola)…. but I digress. I used white rice because it's soft and buttery, and I want my burger to taste soft and buttery, not tough and cardboard-y.
I used porcini mushrooms along with the crimini because porcini have this amazingly indescribable flavor that is strong and brings tons of meatiness to the burger. (I would say umami, but let's face it, who really knows what that means?) That being said, if you don't like porcini, or find them too expensive (they're not cheap), feel free to use a different type of mushroom.
As always, I use Duke's mayonnaise and veggie friendly Worcestershire sauce. I am not sure that this recipe would be easy to adapt for vegans, but if anybody has any suggestions for how to replace the eggs and cheese, I'm all ears!
(Makes: about 8 burgers)
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (4 ounces, rehydrated)
4 ounces crimini mushrooms
7 ounces extra firm tofu
8 ounces frozen or fresh edamame
olive oil
kosher salt, pepper
¾ cup almonds
⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup queso fresco
2 tablespoons mayo
2 scallions
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon hot paprika
¼ cup uncooked white rice (½ cup cooked)
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
First, prepare two baking sheets. Cover them with tin foil, and preheat the oven to 425°F. Begin rehydrating the dried porcini in a bowl of hot water (let it sit for about 10 minutes).
Wash and slice the crimini mushrooms.
Drain the rehydrated porcini. (You can save the liquid and use it as a rich, meaty, vegetarian friendly stock or broth!) Add the crimini mushrooms to the porcini bowl and bathe them in olive oil, salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet.
Drain and cut the tofu into slices. Pat the slices dry with a towel and place them on the baking sheet. Rub them in olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
Microwave-cook the edamame, and then use the porcini bowl to lightly mix them with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Place the edamame on the second baking sheet along with any extra mushrooms that wouldn't fit on the first one!
Bake the mushrooms, tofu, and edamame in the oven for 30 minutes. At this point, if you are using uncooked rice, you should cook the rice (¼ rice, ½ cup water).
While everything else is baking, pulverize the almonds in a large food processor.
Chop the queso fresco, and add that into a large bowl. Add the mayo. Chop the scallions and the garlic. Add them into the bowl with everything else. Add the paprika.
Finally, add in the cooked rice and Worcestershire. Stir everything together very well with a rubber spatula.
After the mushrooms, tofu, and edamame are done cooking, let them cool for at least ten minutes. You do not want them to cook the eggs!
Put the baked ingredients into your food processor with the eggs and blend it all together very well. You may need to stir everything a few times.
Add the rice mixture in and blend everything together. You may need to do this part in batches!
Add in the panko and mix that in.
Form the patties and wrap them. Freeze them for an hour or two before grilling.
They keep very well in the freezer, and make for a delicious and hearty vegetarian meal!
We use a grill pan, because I live in an apartment complex with a public grill. Public grills are no bueno for vegetarians, and a grill pan is a great alternative that still gives the burger nice grill marks. If you're looking for a good deal, you can check out Comparaboo's list of the best grill pans here (I'd recommend the Lodge cast iron, it's what we use and it works like a charm).
Dress your burger like you would any meat burger, and enjoy!
I find that grilling the buns and melting the cheese onto the patty is the best!

Powerful! August 3, 2015
By A. S. (CA)
Thaddeus' music is so powerful for me because there are no words. You know I am a lover of words, a verbal person; but, it is SO refreshing to have these transmissions without any words. Their energy is always there, unfolding, and opening up new spaces. It works as background and it works as foreground. I am so grateful for the gift of this music and the transmissions you offer through it. It reaches between words, in the spaces where words do not go.
By L. S. (Israel)
Orin's music is divine! I have read & have all Sanaya's and Duane's books at home. Wish in the future to purchase the music. I'm a Reiki & Healing Master.

By way of apology to early 3DS adopters after slashing the price of their new handheld a few months into its life cycle, Nintendo promised to provide twenty free games and special Ambassador status (that comes complete with a shiny virtual certificate). The first ten games were made available without incident, but since then, Ninty clammed up about the second round that includes classic GBA titles. Today, though, ONM has received confirmation that the next phase "will be available before the end of December 2011," and more details will be announced "in due course." We'll keep a watchful eye on the situation.
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong have all been confirmed for the second round, with five more to follow. As far as I know, the online ambassador registration tool is still open if you haven't already claimed your free games.
In other Ninty news, the price cut has apparently allowed the 3DS to outstrip the first year sales of its predecessor in only eight months. Considering that Nintendo has been under fire from pundits and shareholders alike, this is great news for the beleaguered company.

Next month the Camp for Climate Action meets to discuss how we organise. Actually, the agenda will be much broader than process. At issue is not just how we do things but what we do. CCA is, of course, not unique in asking this question. Ever since the farce of COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009 environmentalism – radical and reformist – has been virtually rudderless. Observing that 'the process is dead', George Monbiot asked the question directly: So, what do we do now? We do not have a proposal for how to proceed. With the exception of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth, emanating from World People's Conference on Climate Change in Bolivia, the environmental movement – if such a unity exists – has been losing ground fast.

The Numbers 408 and 409 -not
Here's another first for the project: lumping two buses together, even if they are buses that - for us - do not exist.
2 comments:
Between 1959 and 1966 I used to catch the 409 every day in Lingfield to travel to my grammar school in Coulsdon. The journey back in the evening was always fraught with difficulties as the 409 service was an hourly one. Most of the girls who caught buses at the stop nearest the school lived much closer to it than I did - in Caterham or Whyteleafe, for example - so could have used other buses on routes that went to Caterham or Godstone and on to Reigate. But the scrum at the bus stop to get on the first bus that came along was always horrendous - and I often missed the first 409 as a result and ended up having to wait an hour for the next one!ReplyDelete
I'm going to catch a 409 from Croydon to East Grinstead on Sunday 6th April. It will be an old RT bus and it will be green. In December I travelled on another different RT bus the whole length of the 408 route from Guildford all the way to Chelsham Garage (well actually it's now a Sainsbury's store!). The One Bus at a Time blog is very interesting but so is Country Bus Rallies. Happy bussing!!ReplyDelete

I'm so done with Facebook. It's just been a combination of frustration, confusion, anger, and ....family crap.
I am not dealing with any of it, therefore I chose to take myself out of the situation, and deactivated my account.
Thinking about it, I don't really use my facebook that much, nor utilize that well, simply because there is no need to. I just endlessly scroll down my news feed, and see what people are doing with their life, like pooping, or taking a photo on magic mountain at six flags.
The only thing I do on my Facebook, is uploading photos of myself, just to prove to other people here in the PH, and my friends and family in the US, that I'm still alive.
What really bothers me is the fact that my family relatives, have all this say in my life (like IT'S MY FUCKING LIFE). And, even if they're not your friend, they can still have the option to message you, and message you this long-ass message, just to give their two-cents about your life, and your new tattoo. Ugh, why can't people just leave me alone.
I think this deactivation will be beneficial for me. I only talk to several people that are close to me, and the ones that matter, and they either text/call me anyways.
(sigh)this will be beneficial....i know it.
i will be more active in this blog more. Talking about my feelings and shit, or whatever pops in my head<3

Comedian Jon Kenny has told how he performed 80 nights with D'Unbelievables even though his heart was failing.
The 56-year-old underwent a double heart bypass due to an issue caused by cancer treatment but had no idea he was in such a bad way when he undertook the tour with his pal Pat Shortt.
Speaking on RTE Radio One's John Murray show Jon said: "I don't like talking about my illness that much but I was very lucky once again.
"My heart muscle was damaged by the treatment - as far as I know it was the radiation.
"So it had been damaged for a long time. I was on a walk with John (Murray) for his radio show.
"Myself and Pat were on one of the walks before we went back to do the reunion tour.
"We went out to Upper Church and I hadn't even walked up the side of the hill and I was absolutely exhausted.
"I didn't realise at the time but I was actually going through heart failure.
"I went through the whole tour - I think it was 80 shows one after the other - going through heart failure. I was wrecked I couldn't even walk up the stairs when I got back from the shows to go to bed."
Jon went to a doctor who told him his days were numbered but he decided to seek out a second opinion.
He said: "The heart muscle was damaged - I went to one particular medicine man who told me I would never work again and to cash in the pension.
"Then I went back to my crew here who treated me for cancer."
Jon's doctors said they would be able to fix his heart and now he feels a lot better,
He said: "I had a double bypass and it was great and it's good and I kind of got younger. My heart was failing for ten years and so it is better now than it was then.
"So I feel ten years younger."
But he said he still sometimes feels guilt that he managed to beat cancer.
Jon said: "Sometimes there is a sense of guilt because you have gone through something yourself and come out the other side of it. Because some people don't."
The comedian also told how he was beaten at school because he had undiagnosed dyslexia.
He added: "I'm not a teacher and I don't even know how my own dyslexia works.
"The standard one is spelling reading and writing but every individual has a different form as we all have different brains.
"I kind of know what it's like to be sitting in a classroom and the world is full of numbers and words and you are not quite connecting.
"It can be very alien and it's moving past you at a speed which you can't quite decipher.
"I sat in class for a good while and put up with a lot of stuff that a lot of people did through ignorance."

Some platforms, applications, or companies are worth watching because of what they've done in the past year or so, but others are in the spotlight mainly because of the tremendous growth potential that keeps them zipping through the Internet blog buzz. XenSource falls in the latter category, leading many to believe it's poised to make it big in the year ahead.
Founded and run by the original Xen development team, XenSource is both the centerpoint for the Xen community as well as the sales force that touts the benefits of Xen to enterprises. The group dedicates a significant amount of engineering resources to developing open source technology and making sure that they can back up the claim that the Xen hypervisor is "the world's fastest and most secure."
The company is trying to get more exposure though efforts like joining the Interop Vendor Alliance, the high-profile vendor think tank that launched with Microsoft at the controls. XenSource, and others like AMD, NEC, and Novell, hope the IVA will boost interoperability among different platforms and Microsoft Windows.
This isn't the first go-round with Microsoft for XenSource. Last July, the two companies noted that they'll cooperate on the development of technology that will provide interoperability between Xen-enabled Linux and the new Windows hypervisor technology-based Windows Server virtualization.
A brief difference of opinions between Novell and Red Hat last year did cause XenSource to lose a bit of shine: Novell began shipping Xen with version 10 of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, but Red Hat balked, saying the software wasn't ready for enterprises yet. But that didn't stop the company from saying it would try to build a full virtualization platform around the product in RHEL 5, even though it doesn't yet appear in the beta version.

Can you please tell me how to use the stones for high blood pressure? Do you carry the with you or on you or wear them? What is the best way for the best results?
Hi J:
Thank you for your question about how to use crystals to lower and heal high blood pressure.
How you use crystals for them to be most effective is very personal and really changes for every individual and every situation. Some things that you might want to consider are the causes of the high blood pressure. Is it stress? Diet? Hereditary? If it is stress you might want to use the crystals to balance the conditions that cause you stress. For instance keep a Chrysopraseon your desk at work. If it is caused by diet and your doctor has recommended eating habits that you are finding challenging you might meditate with an Emeraldto help you make healthy eating your priority. If it is a condition that has been passed down from generations then try charging Charoitewith the intention that it help you to build new, healthier patterns in your life. You can never go wrong with wearing your crystals. I particularly like bracelets for blood pressure since they sit at your pulse points and you can easily see/touch them for calming reassurance. I always wear a mixed Tourmalinebracelet to keep stressful situations from affecting me physically.
I hope that I was able to help and gave you some ideas to use crystals. I would try experimenting with a few different methods to see what works best for you. The most important thing is to follow your instincts - you can never go wrong and I believe that crystals let us know how to best use them. We just need to listen. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Wishing you lots of love and light and health!
Crystal Blessings!

Pope Benedict's legacy: Beware the secular state
The announcement by Pope Benedict XVI that he will be "retiring" as of the end of February does not signal the end of his influence. Pope's aren't presidents. Their influence does not end with their pontificate, as a president's does with the end of his term. Their pontificates ensure their legacies to the Church.
One legacy to be especially treasured will be the Pope's reflections on the dangers of the increasingly aggressive secular state. While most of the media chatter over the next two months will be about a successor—with those on the Left, once again, fanaticizing about a papal coup—the real news is not that Benedict is leaving, but what he is leaving us.
He is leaving us a warning. In the West, and now especially in the U.S., the state is increasingly pushing a secular agenda, and pushing that agenda through means pushing the Church out. The threat to religious liberty is very, very real.
In January 2012 Pope Benedict addressed the American bishops in their ad limina pilgrimage to Rome.
"It is imperative that the entire Catholic community in the United States come to realize the grave threats to the Church's public moral witness presented by a radical secularism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres. The seriousness of these threats needs to be clearly appreciated at every level of ecclesial life. Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that most cherished of American freedoms, the freedom of religion."
But we must be—and the Pope was—clear. The threat isn't just to the Catholic Church. It is a threat against all Christians. In fact, radical secularism is a threat to all believers.
At about the same time that the Pope was warning the American Bishops (and, indirectly, all Americans) about the threat to religious liberty by radical secularists, the Obama Administration's Health and Human Services was busily fulfilling the Pope's prophecy. That very January, the head of the HHS, ersatz Catholic Kathleen Sebelius, handed down a mandate informing all religious institutions—especially Catholic universities and hospitals—that they will provide contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilizations in their insurance plans.
Or else.
In short, the Obama administration was, and is, saying to the Church—indeed to all Christians, all believers—you can worship anything you want in private, but you will bend the knee before the secular state.
Sebelius as the deliverer of the HHS ultimatum illustrated perfectly how not to reconcile moral doctrine with public duty. Going beyond the Cuomo shuffle ("I hold the Church's moral principles privately, but I can't impose them on others"), Sebelius chose to be a willing servant of the secular state's sexual revolution against the Church. A real Catholic understands moral laws are not subject to manipulation by the state or its minions.
Pope Benedict was no doubt chagrined, but not surprised by Obama's mandate. He's seen the way secularizing states act in Europe. He is a man deeply read in history. Such aggressive secularization has been gaining political ground since the horrors of brutal de-Christianization in the French Revolution. Tear down the crosses, eliminate all public presence of Christianity, secularize and redefine marriage, take over the education system, and force Christians to accept the secular moral agenda. It happened in France, it happened in Russia and the Soviet satellites, it happened in other ways with the imposition of the pseudo-religion of Nazism that took over his homeland, Bavaria, and it continues in all of Europe's liberal democracies.
And it's come to America. Take down the Ten Commandments. No Bible reading in schools. No public prayer. Clear away the crèche. No "Merry Christmas." Affirm gay marriage. And, as we've seen in the HHS mandate, Thou shalt participate in the sexual revolution.
The message of all such radical secularism is clear: you will bend the knee before the state.
In looking back over the last two hundred years—popes always think in "church years"—Pope Benedict understands that the current rash of radical secularism is not merely current. It's something that's been threatening Christianity for a long time. The threat we are now experiencing in America is, alas, nothing new, but part of a protracted struggle between two rival, incompatible ways of understanding the world, human nature, the human good, and political life. One with God, and one without God.
Pope Benedict response has been clear: bend the knee before God, not the state.
Another prophet, G. K. Chesterton issued a warning a little less than a century before Pope Benedict's pontificate, a warning that captures what is at stake in a world where God has been forcibly excluded from public life.
"It is only by believing in God that we can ever criticize the Government. Once abolish…God, and the Government becomes the God. That fact is written all across human history;…The truth is that irreligion is the opium of the people. Wherever the people do not believe in something beyond the world, they will worship the world. But above all they will worship the strongest thing in the world."
In a world without God, the strongest thing is the state.—especially, and most obviously, the state that banishes God.
That, I think, will prove to be one of Pope Benedict's greatest legacies—the warning that if we let the government drive God out of the public square, the secular state will become the God we are forced to worship.

Saint Mathilda (or Matilda, c. 895 – 14 March 968) was the wife of King Henry I of Germany, the first ruler of the Saxon Ottonian (or Liudolfing) dynasty, thereby Duchess (consort) of Saxony from 912 and Queen (consort) of Germany (East Francia) from 919 until her husband's death in 936. Their eldest son Otto succeeded his father as King of Germany (East Francia) and years later was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 962, thus ending the vacancy of this office begun in 924 with the death of Holy Roman Emperor Berengar I of Italy. Matilda lived to see the imperial crown restored under her son. Matilda's surname refers to Ringelheim, where her comital (of or relating to a count or earl) Immedinger relatives established a convent about 940.
The details of St. Matilda's life come primarily from brief mentions in the Res gestae saxonicae by the monastic historian Widukind of Corvey (c. 925 – 973), and from two sacred biographies: the Vita antiquior, circa 974, and Vita posterior), circa 1003.
Matilda was born circa 895 in the region of Engern (Angria or Angaria), Westphalia, Duchy of Saxony, East Francia, then divided between the states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. She was the daughter of Dietrich, Count in Westphalia, and his wife Reinhild.[1] Her biographers traced her ancestry back to the legendary Saxon leader Widukind (c. 730–807). Her sister Frederuna married Count Wichmann the Elder, a member of the House of Billung.
As a young girl she was sent to Herford Abbey,[2] where her grandmother Matilda was abbess and where her reputation for beauty and virtue (and possibly also her Westphalian dowry) is said to have attracted the attention of Duke Otto I of Saxony, who betrothed her to his son and heir, Henry. Henry's previous marriage was annulled.[3] They were married at Wallhausen, Saxony-Anhalt, in present day Germany in 909 or 913.[4] As the eldest surviving son, Henry succeeded his father as Duke of Saxony in 912 and upon the death of King Conrad I was elected King of East Francia (later Germany) in 919. He and Matilda had three sons and two daughters:
- Hedwig (910 – 965), wife of the West Frankish duke Hugh the Great, mother of King Hugh Capet of France
- Otto (912 – 973), Duke of Saxony, King of Germany from 936, and Holy Roman Emperor from 962
- Gerberga (913 – 984), wife of (1) Duke Giselbert of Lorraine and (2) King Louis IV of France
- Henry (919/21 – 955), Duke of Bavaria from 948
- St. Bruno the Great (925 – 965), Archbishop of Cologne and Duke of Lorraine
After her husband died in 936 at Memleben, Matilda and her son, now King Otto of East Francia, established Quedlinburg Abbey[2] in Quedlinburg, Saxony, East Francia, in present day Quedlinburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, in Henry's memory. Quedlinburg Abbey was a convent of noble canonesses, where her granddaughter, also named Matilda, became the first abbess in 966. At first the Queen Mother remained at the court of her son. During quarrels between the young king and his rivaling brother, Henry a cabal of royal advisors is reported to have accused her of decreasing the royal treasury in order to pay for her charitable activities. After a brief exile at her Westphalian manors in Enger, where she established a college of canons in 947, Matilda was brought back to court at the urging of King Otto's first wife, the Anglo-Saxon princess Edith of Wessex.
Matilda died on 14 March 968 in Quedlinburg Abbey, Quedlinburg, Saxony, East Francia, Holy Roman Empire, in present day Quedlinburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany,[5] outliving her husband by 32 years, and having seen the restoration of the Holy Roman Empire. Her and Henry's mortal remains are buried in the crypt of St. Servatius Church within Quedlinburg Abbey.
Saint Matilda was celebrated for her devotion to prayer and almsgiving. Her first biographer depicted her (in a passage attributed[citation needed] to the sixth-century vita of the Frankish queen Radegund by Venantius Fortunatus) leaving her husband's side in the middle of the night and sneaking off to church to pray. St. Matilda founded many religious institutions, including the canonry of Quedlinburg, which became a center of ecclesiastical and secular life in Germany under the rule of the Ottonian dynasty. She also founded the convents of St. Wigbert in Quedlinburg, in Pöhlde, Enger, and Nordhausen in Thuringia, likely the source of at least one of her vitae.
She was later canonized, with her cult largely confined to Saxony and Bavaria. St. Matilda's feast day according to the regional German calendar of saints is 14 March. There is a stained glass window dedicated to Saint Matilda in the parish church (built 1842) of Coole, County Westmeath in the Republic of Ireland.

A Time to Cry
It's the two year anniversary of Katrina's landfall. I've tried my best to ignore it, to de-emphasize it. The people of my parish begged us not to do anything special. Instead we will have our regular Wednesday night service of healing and Holy Eucharist, and I will add some special prayers and music to mark the occasion.
I thought I was ok with this day.....of ALL days.
It's not the memories. I won't ever forget what it was like riding that storm out. The howling of the unceasing wind, the fear of what was being done to our community, our homes, our church. I was in a house about 5 miles inland, and it was not pleasant. The days afterward are just a blur, a blur of images of devastation, collapse, ruin, people-in-shock, rumors, worries, unreal heat, lack of sleep, and complete puzzlement over what exactly to do, other than wake up from the little sleep you could manage and get somewhere and help someone. Day after day.
A first year of watching massive debris piles finally picked up, of people, one by one, coming by to say goodbye, of struggles with a church decimated by this storm, of worries about my own family, my son especially, and what this is doing to them.
A second year of increasing frustration with the slow-ness of EVERYTHING. The way people feel absolutely raped by their insurance carriers, the same ones that reported RECORD profits. The steady and good and solid and amazing work going on, bit by bit, brick by brick, with the incredible army of volunteers who come and labor and pray and hopefully go home better for having been here, hopefully go home and tell our story so others will come.
I didn't need to watch CNN or any other program to remember. I didn't even want to.
Yesterday I received in the mail a package from a seminary classmate. In it was an autographed copy of our graduating class, signed by all the members. You see, when we graduated we each signed the mattes for each other's pictures, and my copy was framed and hanging in my office when the storm surge came, when the waters burst my church into a million little pieces, and all my books, my ordination certificates, my diploma....and my class picture, washed away, out to sea or buried in rubble never to be found, floating along with our pews and our altar. My loss was minuscule compared to most others, but a few things were gone that I could not recreate.
On Palm Sunday of 2006 our class president, Larry Motz, died from cancer. A few days before his death a classmate, Nicolette Papanek, visited with our dear friend. Larry asked her to get his picture, his signed graduation picture and take it with her. He asked her to frame it and mail it to ME, for he knew mine was long gone. We'd talked about it just a week before, in my last conversation with Larry, that my picture was gone. He didn't say anything to me about his picture, but he made Nicolette promise to send it to me.
So it came. Yesterday. I opened it and was overcome....overcome....
Today when I got into my car at the hospital, thinking about what words to say tonight at our anniversary service, I thought of Larry and that amazing gift. I thought of my classmates, many who have been down here to help. I thought also of the scores, SCORES, of volunteers who have come to our aid, who have changed us and who have themselves been changed, I thought of all the people I have gotten to meet, to work with and laugh with and eat with and pray with, people I would have never known otherwise. I thought of that great image of St. Paul, the body of Christ, all connected, all vital, all needed, ALL needed.
And then it came. Sitting in my truck the tears came, they fell hard and fast and surprising. I really haven't had the "good cry" yet, two years later it happened and I was totally unprepared, on this anniversary I was trying to ignore.
For those who read this blog and journey with us, we are connected, my brothers and sisters. Thank you for your willingness to make that so apparent to me, to all of us.
We will get through today, and wake up tomorrow and wonder how long this will go on, how long Oh Lord, how long. And then someone else shows up, to help, to pray, to smile, to laugh, to cry with us.
God bless you all.

May the Lord daily strengthen and encourage you, your family and your congregation, David+. Your updates are helpful for those of us committed to remembering the Gulf Coast and those working to rebuild lives and ministries.
I've included an excerpt of your post at Lent & Beyond.
I can definitely say that this volunteer returned home a much better person. And, yes, we continue to spread the word that the work is ongoing and help is still needed. God bless you all!

SAN SALVADOR — Seven Americans riding in a caravan for peace entered El Salvador despite a government ban and joined 400 marchers on a journey Friday into the country`s most war-ravaged province.
Leftist rebels downed power lines in three northeastern provinces late Thursday, blacking out 70 percent of the country, authorities said.
As the rebels and army ended a 10-day holiday cease-fire, the air force renewed bombing attacks on suspected rebel positions on Guazapa Volcano, 18 miles north of San Salvador.
Despite the government ban, six buses with peace activists aboard left San Salvador for the eastern war zone, where the participants planned to travel to the guerrilla-controlled town of Perquin in war-ravaged Morazan province.
Their trip to Morazan coincided with a visit by President Jose Napoleon Duarte to army headquarters in Morazan`s provincial capital of San Francisco Gotera.
March organizers tried unsuccessfully to gain government approval for the caravan of mostly Salvadoran activists and to arrange a meeting with Duarte.
Some 20 foreign pacifists arrived in El Salvador late Thursday using previously obtained tourist visas after the Duarte government prohibited members of a ``March for Peace in Central America`` from entering the country.
A local march organizer said seven of the 20 were Americans who started on the march in Panama.
The participants were expelled from Costa Rica when an angry mob -- mostly from a rightist organization -- hurled rocks at them, and they reached a standstill in Nicaragua after Honduras and El Salvador refused to let them enter.
The organizer, who asked not to be identified, said other members of the group, supported by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., traveled to Honduras to join local peace activists there.

Nemaline myopathy is a rare genetic muscle disorder. Myopathy is a general medical term meaning "disease of the muscle". At least six different forms of nemaline myopathy have been identified. The severity, age of onset, and inheritance pattern varies among these different forms of nemaline myopathy. A severe form that is present at birth (congenital) can cause life-threatening complications. Milder forms and a form with onset in adulthood have also been identified. Most affected individuals have a milder form of the disorder known as typical congenital nemaline myopathy. Most individuals with this form are able to walk and lead active lives. Characteristic symptoms of all forms of nemaline myopathy include muscle weakness, diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), and absence of certain reflexes. In most cases, muscle weakness does not worsen or spread (nonprogressive), though it some cases it may. The inheritance patterns of the six forms of nemaline myopathy also vary; some are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and some as an autosomal dominant trait.
When certain muscle fibers of individuals with nemaline myopathy are examined under a microscope, they show the presence of fine, thread-like or rod-like structures called "nemaline bodies." The prefix "nemal" is derived from Greek and means "thread-like." Nemaline bodies consist of defective proteins, which are normally required for proper muscle health and function.

Quick Man
|Quick Man
Quick Man
|Quick Man
|First Appeared In
|Mega Man 2
Quick Man is disputed to be the most difficult Mega Man robot master of all time. His sporadic tactics make him unpredictable, and hard to counter. Quick Man appears in Mega Man 2 which was the first game to incorporate 8 Robot Masters opposed to 6. In the battle with Quick Man, he will jump around the room while using the Quick Boomerang to inflict damage on Rock. His weapon, however, becomes one of the most useful ones because it can defeat enemies that are hard to reach, and, eventually, help you with the Guts Dozer, one of the final bosses in Dr. Wily's castle. Quick Man is vulnerable to the Time Stopper weapon, but it only drains half of his health. The best weapon to finish him with is the Metal Blades which are acquired from Metal Man.

Game play began with the DM's new character generation method. The entire party started out as 0 level characters (no class assignments, feats, and no skills, starting money, or possessions to speak of). All characters are 16 years of age and have been raised since toddlers in a monastery. Little is known of their heritages, and the Brothers of the monastery are not in the mood to share. The PC's are as follows:
Virgil: Human. Virgil's monastic apprenticeship is to Brother Elliott, the librarian.
Floyd Fiftynames: Gnome (brother to Guy). Floyd is apprenticed to Brother Art, the quartermaster.
Guy Fiftynames: Gnome (brother to Floyd). Guy is apprenticed to Brother Samarid, the farmer.
Brixmore: Dwarf. Brix is assigned to Doctor Ethan. Doctor Ethan is not a brother in the monastery (not all who reside within its walls are).
Abbott Teris is the chief executive officer of the monastery. The monastery's primary source of income is as a producer and distributor of wine & select spirits.
As game play began, the characters had been assigned to locate a lesser Brother named Felix. After searching in a few places, they come across Brother Art and Brother Terry (the distiller), who suggest that they look for Brother Felix in the wine cellar. The characters go down to the wine cellar, where they find the body of Brother Felix, apparently somewhat chewed to death. They also find a secret door in one of the shelves that leads to a somewhat sizable hole.
The characters report the death to Brother Art & Brother Terry, who in turn summon Brother Samarind and Abbott Teris to the scene. After investigating the hole and discovering evidence of rats, the Brothers send the characters into the hole (being ideally suited for its size) to investigate / clear out the infestation. They equip the characters with clubs and leather armor.
The party quickly encounters a few rats which are easily dispensed with, plus two rats that are somewhat harder (Virgil and Floyd are both bitten by the larger rats during this encounter). A thorough investigation of the compartment reveals it to be a catacomb of some sort (several long dead skeletons line the walls) and a room is discovered with a somewhat fresher-seeming corpse. This corpse, however, attacks the characters, and they fight and dispatch the creature. The characters return to the Brothers and report their findings.
Brother Ethan cures Virgil and Floyd of the Filth Fever they contracted from the larger rats during the encounter. Shortly thereafter, a ranger-in-residence named Abel arrives, and it is decided that the four boys will accompany him into town to assist / observe an investigation in which he is taking part. The night before they are to leave, Doctor Ethan gives the party a package and asks it to be delivered to a man in town, whom the doctor describes, though he remains sketchy on details such as name and location. He requests that the party not open the package. Guy takes the package with his personal assurances that the materials will be delivered and Doctor Ethan's instructions will be followed. After Doctor Ethan leaves, and Guy has determined that most of the dorm's inhabitants are asleep, he opens the packaged. Inside, he finds three vials of a dark red liquid, which, after waking up the other party members, they determine to be blood. Rather unusually, the blood is ice cold. Guy tastes a bit on his finger, and Virgil goes so far as to drink a small portion of it, much to the consternation of Brix, whose loyalties to his mentor cause him distress over not following instructions.
Guy & Virgil determine that Abbott Teris should be informed of Doctor Ethan's request, but Brix strongly disagrees. A scuffle ensues between Virgil and Brix that rouses the other boys in the dorm, one of whom calls it to the attention of Brother Elliott, who proceeds to confiscate the vial Virgil kept and behave in a generally creepy fashion while they wait for Guy to return from his visit to Teris.
Guy finds Teris in his quarters in the midst of a heated conversation with Doctor Ethan (luckily, he had stashed the vials he took with him before entering the Abbott's room). Guy asks to speak with the Abbott alone, and Teris dismisses Doctor Ethan, who does not seem fooled by the situation in the least. After explaining the situation, the Abbott's recommendation to Guy is that the party do as Doctor Ethan requests.
The next morning, the party rides blearily into town, where they take a moment to familiarize themselves with the inn (The Gilded Lily) before heading to the house that the ranger suspects is the home of Doctor Ethan's contact, Viggio. Viggio, portly and slovenly, reveals himself to be the correct contact. He is also exceptionally objectionable and makes several off color and offensive remarks to the boys. The man confirms the party's suspicion that the vials contain vampire blood, and that the man is a specialist in curing magical diseases. After finding out that Virgil drank some of the blood, he takes him (along with Guy & Brix) into a back room for treatment. Floyd stays behind to copy a globe onto a piece of paper.
Virgil's treatment turns out to be a rather unpleasant needle full of a bile-like substance inserted directly into his abdomen. He is also given some medication to take with him. The man rather rudely ushers the boys out of his house (though the party had taken no great lengths to win the man's favor, anyway), and Floyd promptly defecates on the man's doorstep. The party then wanders back into town.
Upon arrival in town, the party comes across the scene of a murder of a woman by apparent strangulation / asphyxiation. She appears to have been garroted. The Sheriff, a man named Drooley, is investigating the scene of the crime, but he appears to be out of his element. Guy takes measures to assist / take over the investigation, while Floyd heads back to The Gilded Lily to find Abel and inform him of what's occurred.

House approves funding for mental health settlementBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
March 20. 2014 9:27PM
CONCORD – The money to fund a settlement between the state, federal government and citizens in the state's mental health system was approved by the House Thursday, 173-125.
Under House Bill 1635, the state would use about $7 million in federal funds and about $4 million in state general funds over the next year-and-a-half to pay for the cost of the settlement.
Citizens in the state's mental health system claimed they were not being placed in the least restrictive services and were receiving inadequate care through the state's community mental health program.
The federal Justice Department joined the suit, which was settled in December with the state agreeing to beef up services, particularly in housing and employment and for crisis intervention.
Gov. Maggie Hassan backed the bill, saying it carries out the settlement reached between the parties.
"The settlement agreement further enhances community-based mental health services and increases crisis-support services, helping to address the trend of acute mental health cases at our hospitals' emergency rooms," Hassan said. "It also ensures that we can continue addressing our mental health challenges in a fiscally responsible way that protects the state's budget and ensures that New Hampshire citizens are driving improvements in our mental health system – not federal judges."
Opponents said they agreed with the settlement, but not with the proposed way to pay for it.
Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare, said additional state workers could be hired to carry out the terms of the settlement instead of contracting with the community mental health agencies, saving the state millions of dollars.
He proposed the Health and Human Service Department absorb the cost in its $4 billion, two-year budget rather than opening up the biennial budget and adding the money.
"We heard yesterday a deal is a deal, is a deal," Kurk said. "A budget is a budget, is a budget. We don't reopen budgets."
But supporters said unless the lawmakers fund the settlement to allow Health and Human Services to meet its obligations, the state will face escalating legal costs.
Rep. Sharon Nordgren, D-Hanover, said the plaintiffs and U.S. Justice Department may withdraw their consent to the settlement if the Legislature does not fund it and revive their claims against the state.
"Failure to pass this could result in $8 million more in costs," Nordgren said. "This is a fiscally responsible settlement."
But House Minority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, said the House wants to use money it has yet to collect to pay for the settlement.
"By passing HB 1635, we are not only opening up the budget once again, we're spending money we don't have yet," Chandler said. "We're now proposing to use funds from the current budget surplus, which is only anticipated, not guaranteed."
The bill now goes to the Senate.
The House voted 174-105 to kill a bill that would have prohibited purchasing alcohol and tobacco with electronic benefit transfer cards used by welfare and food stamp recipients.
House Bill 1213 is one of several dealing with EBT cards and lawmakers said they should wait and do a comprehensive review of card use and how state agencies should manage their use.
Questions have been raised about the use of the cards with some saying they are being used to purchase non-essential items or used in cash machines with no way of tracking purchases.
Federal law forbids the use of the cards for such things as strip clubs or race tracks.
Health and Human Services officials say it is almost impossible to track what people using the cards purchase.
Lawmakers have established an interim study committee to look into the issue.

Did you know that a sword fish can swim up to 62 miles per hour? Or, that a snail has teeth? Explorium- Ocean for Kids combines a kid-friendly encyclopedia about ocean plants and animals, an undersea adventure, and six mini-games. With so many different activities, it will keep your child (ages 4 to 8) entertained for hours. We like this app so much that we made it our latest Top Pick for Fun Educational Apps.
Fun Educational Apps TOP PICKS
Have a look:
The opening screen sets the stage for one of the main characters, Alex or Alice (you get to choose), to go on a deep sea adventure in search of the lost city of Atlantis. As the character goes deeper and deeper, he/she encounters many different species of plants and animals, some familiar and some not. Clicking on the object causes a fact to pop up, and your child can read along as the voiceover shares the information.
Also hidden among the coral and the seaweed are treasure chests, which open up to reveal mini-games, including: a jellyfish maze, a memory game, a match game, a bubble popping game, and a sticker page. These games develop memory and motor skills besides being lots of fun. Each completed game earns your child a piece of the map of Atlantis. The object of the game is to complete the puzzle to find the lost city.
Explorium- Ocean for Kids requires no verbal instructions because all of the movements are indicated by blinking arrows. This makes the app easy to use, even for non-readers. A few demonstration clicks from a parent, and your child can manage the game independently.
What Fun Educational Apps Liked-
Explorium- Ocean for Kids is another quality app from Puppet Life. I have also reviewed two of their previous apps (Say Goodnight and Sailing Home- Learn Animal Habitats), and I am happy to report that all of them show the same appreciation for the subject matter and attention to detail. The underwater graphics here are extremely well-done, and exceed expectations. I also appreciate the fact that the app accurately shows the inhabitants in each of the different layers of the ocean (the sunlight zone, the twilight zone, and the midnight zone). For all of these reasons, Fun Educational Apps names Explorium- Ocean for Kids one of its Top Picks in the category of science and nature apps.
At the time of this review, Explorium- Ocean for Kids contains no ads or in-app purchases. The only external link is to the iTunes store to show the other Puppet Life apps, accessible only from a protected parent portal. Parents can be confident that their children's privacy is protected when using this app.
Explorium- Ocean for Kids is availabe for download via the iTunes App Store -iOS Universal and Google Play for Android devices.

H&M profits, costs up in first quarter
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB says its first-quarter profits rose by 8 percent, even though technology investments linked to online sales wiped out some of the gains.
Net profit in the December-February period was 2.65 billion kronor (412 million), up from 2.46 billion kronor a year earlier.
Sales rose 13 percent to 32.1 billion kronor as H&M added 60 new stores worldwide, bringing the total to just below 3,200.
Costs also rose, by 13 percent, as H&M boosted spending on its online sales system. The company opened an online store in France on March 13, and plans to do the same in Spain, Italy and China later this year.
The share price dropped more than 3 percent to 279.50 kronor ($43.47) in early trading in Stockholm.

I drove a 2013 Ford Motor Taurus for about 10 days on vacation.
Even though I have been car-less since 2000, I appreciate a good ride. The lady at the counter sold me on a $10 per day upgrade to the Taurus when she said "it's loaded with the touchscreen and everything."
Given my line of work, I figured it made sense to have hands-on experience using Ford's in-auto entertainment system, Sync. The experience would help inform opinions on Ford and its direct partners in the endeavor — namely Microsoft — as well as indirect collaborators, ranging from Pandora to Nokia to AT&T.

References to Tomish or Toomish Mountain in The Ancient and Present State of the County of Kerry (1756) make it clear that this name applied to the whole of what is now called Purple Mountain. When the name Purple Mountain gained currency in the 19th century as the name applied to the massif in general and its highest top, the name Tomies Mountain was probably relegated in status, referring only to the subsidiary peak. Joyce gives the Irish name as Tuamaidhe and explains it in reference to the two sepulchral heaps of stones on the summit (PWJ, vol. I, p. 336). Tomies Mountain is the 86th highest place in Ireland. Tomies Mountain is the second most northerly summit in the Purple Mountain area.
