- B1.1 - Keeping Healthy
- B1.1.1 - Diet and Exersise.
- Most people eat a varied diet which includes everything needed to keep the body healthy.
- Different people need different amounts of energy.
- The metabolic rate varies from person to person.
- The more exercise you take the more food you need.
- B1.1.2 - Weight Problems
- If you take in more energy than you use, you will store the excess as fat.
- Obese people have more health problems than others.
- People who do not have enough to eat can develop serious health problems.
- Exercise helps reduce weight and maintain health.
- B1.1.3 - Inheritance, Exercise and Health.
- Inherited factors affect our health. These include our metabolic rate and cholesterol level.
- People who exercise regularly are usually healthier than people who take little exercise.
- B1.1.4 - Pathogens and Disease
- Infectious diseases are caused by microbes called pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses.
- Bacteria and Viruses reproduce rapidly inside your body. Bacteria can produce toxins which make you feel ill.
- Viruses damage your cells as they reproduce. This can also make you feel ill.
- Semmelweis recognised the importance of hand-washing in preventing the spread of infectious diseases in hospitals.
- B1.1.5 - Defence Mechanisms
- Your body has several methods of defending itself against the entry of pathogens using the skin, the mucus of the breathing system and the clotting of the blood.
- Your white blood cells help to defend you against pathogens by ingesting them, making antibodies and making antitoxins.
- B1.1.6 - Using Drugs to treat disease
- Some medicines relieve the symptoms of the disease but do not kill the pathogens which cause it.
- Antibiotics cure bacterial diseases by killing the bacteria inside your body.
- Antibiotics do not destroy viruses reproduce inside the cells. It is difficult to develop drugs that can destroy viruses without damaging your body.
- B1.1.7 - Growing and Investigating Bacteria
- An Uncontaminated culture of microbes can be grown using sterilised petri dishes and agar. You sterilise the inoculating loop and seal the lid of the petri dish to prevent unwanted microbes getting in. The culture is left at about 25c for a few days,
- Uncontaminated cultures are needed so we can investigate the effect of chemicals such as antibacterials and antibiotics.
- Cultures should be incubated at a maximum temperature of 25c in schools and colleges to reduce the likelihood of harmful pathogens growing.
- B1.1.8 - Changing Pathogens.
- Many types of bacterium have developed antibiotic resistance as a result of natural selection. To prevent the problem getting worse we must avoid overusing antibiotics.
- If bacteria or viruses mutate new strains of the pathogen can appear causing disease.
- New Strains of disease which can spread rapidly can cause epidemics and pandemics. Antibiotics and vaccinations may not be effective against the new strain.
- B1.1.9 - Immunity
- Your white blood cells produce antibodies to destroy pathogens. Then your body will respond rapidly to future infections of the same pathogens.
- You can be immunised against a disease by introducing small amounts of dead or inactive pathogens into your body.
- We can use vaccinations to protect against both bacterial and viral pathogens.
- B1.1.10 - How do we deal with disease?
- Vaccination protects individual and society from the effects of a disease.
- The treatment of disease has changed as our understanding of antibiotics and immunity has increased.
- B1.1.1 - Diet and Exersise.

Saints and Feasts
Leontius, Patriarch of Jerusalem
Sunday of the Samaritan Woman – One of the most ancient cities of the Promised Land was Shechem, also called Sikima, located at the foot of Mount Gerazim. There the Israelites had heard the blessings in the days of Moses and Jesus of Navi. Near to this town, Jacob, who had come from Mesopotamia in the nineteenth century before Christ, bought a piece of land where there was a well. This well, preserved even until the time of Christ, was known as Jacob's Well. Later, before he died in Egypt, he left that piece of land as a special inheritance to his son Joseph (Gen. 49:22). This town, before it was taken into possession by Samaria, was also the leading city of the kingdom of the ten tribes. In the time of the Romans it was called Neapolis, and at present Nablus. It was the first city in Canaan visited by the Patriarch Abraham. Here also, Jesus of Navi (Joshua) addressed the tribes of Israel for the last time. Almost three hundred years later, all Israel assembled there to make Roboam (Rehoboam) king.
When our Lord Jesus Christ, then, came at midday to this city, which is also called Sychar (John 4:5), He was wearied from the journey and the heat, and He sat down at this well. After a little while the Samaritan woman mentioned in today's Gospel passage came to draw water. As she conversed at some length with the Lord and heard from Him secret things concerning herself, she believed in Him; through her many other Samaritans also believed.
Concerning the Samaritans we know the following: In the year 721 before Christ, Salmanasar (Shalmaneser), King of the Assyrians, took the ten tribes of the kingdom of Israel into captivity, and relocated all these people to Babylon and the land of the Medes. From there he gathered various nations and sent them to Samaria. These nations had been idolaters from before. Although they were later instructed in the Jewish faith and believed in the one God, they worshipped the idols also. Furthermore, they accepted only the Pentateuch of Moses, and rejected the other books of Holy Scripture. Nonetheless, they thought themselves to be descendants of Abraham and Jacob. Therefore, the pious Jews named these Judaizing and idolatrous peoples Samaritans, since they lived in Samaria, the former leading city of the Israelites, as well as in the other towns thereabout. The Jews rejected them as heathen and foreigners, and had no communion with them at all, as the Samaritan woman observed, "the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans" (John 4:9). Therefore, the name Samaritan is used derisively many times in the Gospel narrations. After the Ascension of the Lord, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the woman of Samaria was baptized by the holy Apostles and became a great preacher and Martyr of Christ; she was called Photine, and her feast is kept on February 26.
Isidore the Martyr of Chios – This Saint was a soldier from Alexandria. He came with the Roman fleet to Chios, where he was betrayed as a Christian to Numerian, Commander of the Fleet. Because he boldly pro-fessed himself to worship Christ as God and refused to worship any other, he was tormented and beheaded in 251, during the reign of Decius.
Mother's Day – Today, our nation pauses to celebrate Mother's Day. Whether our mother is living or departed, this is a day for remembering the precious memories of "Mom" that can never be taken away from us. Mother's Day is also a day to reflect upon the multitude of roles a mother is asked to play as she raises her children. Teacher, physician, counselor, psychologist, cook, seamstress and taxi driver. A mother's love and her dedication to us are the most precious thing we have received. Today, here at Assumption we honor all our mothers living or having passed on, with love and gratitude for the may things they have done for us. We pray for those are with us for their good health and for those who now live with God, for their eternal peace.
Social Hour – Sponsored by Philoptochos.

Nearly seven minutes elapse on the title track before the entrance of the horns and it's a space filled with Bostic's tumultuous percussion. Harnessing the energy of a human dynamo the drummer hammers and pounds with a muscular vigor that truly punishes his kit. McPhee's solo, chased by Marks' keening soprano wail, is awash in knotty flutters and dive-bombing register drops. Crabb's muddy bass foray bleeds out much of the momentum, but the horns soon return with McPhee squeezing off staccato brass shots and Marks' offering bristling retorts on hoary tenor. With "Harriett" the band jackknifes into more Classically-cped waters. Bostic's vibes fuse with Crabb's crystalline arco lines creating a luminous surface of harmonics for the horns to skate across. Marks' flute adds further color and floats above the darker layered lines. "Message from Denmark" unfolds in a string of solo statements from McPhee and Crabb before a headlong rush into roiling ensemble release. Marks' quotes tangentially from "A Love Supreme" in the latter half above Bostic's cascading barrage.
The remainder of the disc is devoted to the opening pieces of an earlier concert held in the same space six months previous. Under the collective rubric of the Contemporary Improvisational Ensemble McPhee and his cohorts augmented by the reeds of Greene and Virigillio turn in a performance of a caliber that belies the leader's relative youth. "New Spiritual No. 1" suffers from a lapse in horn audibility, but Marks' mammoth solo surmounts such surface obstacles coalescing into arguably his most arresting statement of the date. The high energy he cuts loose stands in strong contrast to the flimsy ending of the piece. Einstien's equation of "E=MC²" acts as signifier for the disc's closing tone poem and Marks is again in brilliant form sounding both scientific and ecstatic.
The set's second disc completes the concert. After a tumultuous recasting of Monk's "Evidence" retitled "Justice" for the occasion the band breaks into the soulful and tellingly-titled "Windy City Head Stompin' Blues" atop the funky backbeats of Bostic. Layering the horns in radiating arcs it's a piece that pays soulful homage to victims of police violence. The two-part suite "Birmingham Sunday" is also dedicatory in design and touches musically on the travesty of the church bombing which murdered four black schoolgirls in 1963. Marks' incantatory flute preface flanked by bells and shakers sets a somber mood that later turns caustic under the crushing force of crying horns, bowed bass and crashing drums and what sounds like feedback distortion from the mics. McPhee's solo seventeen minutes is another a highlight of the performance, at once aggressive and lyrically moving. The closing number matches Flamenco overtones with spacey organ fills from the versatile Marks. In sum this set shows conclusively that McPhee's massive talent was at his disposal from the onset of his earliest efforts. Any fan of ecstatic free jazz shouldn't pass this one up!

- Baal
- 4 years ago
- Wedding: July 2015
I had the diamond in my platinum engagement ring reset a week ago. I had inherited a 0.25 round brilliant diamond, the ring originally held a 0.15 princess cut diamond. My jeweler checked the ring beforehand, he advised that the prongs would need to be lengthened slightly to accomodate the new diamond, and it would be ready in a week. I gave the go ahead.
When I went to pick it up, from the conversation I could hear between the shop assistant and the jeweler, I got the distinct impression that it hadn't be done. I was told to come back in an 30 minutes, that the jeweler was 'just finishing it'…I let an hour go buy, and went back. It still wasn't ready, I had to wait another 15 minutes.
Later in the day when I saw it in natural daylight I noticed a black blob on the band, near one of the prongs. Wasn't very happy, as I'd been charged £100 to have the reset done.
Was able to return to the jeweler's today. The assistant deliberately kept missing the mark, had to point it out twice. She took it to the jeweler, came back and said 'it's solder'…and then left a long pause, as if that was ok! I then pointed out that we hadn't spent nearly £1000 on a platinum setting to have solder marks left on it!
Another assistant took it back to the jeweler, who said it would take a week to fix it. So not a very happy camper at this point!
Has anyone else had a diamond reset and had this happened? I was really made to feel like I was making a fuss over nothing.

If you were hoping to kick off your weekend with a lovely, multi-page spread of Emma Watson wearing some stunning, sustainably produced gowns, then congratulations: Your bizarrely specific dreams have just come true! Net-a-Porter's online magazine has the actress on model duty for Livia Firth's design challenge to create five ethical dresses.
For Emma, zipping into these beautiful looks was a no-brainer; ethical and eco-conscious fashion is one of the issues she's most passionate about. As she explained, "Maybe there would be fewer problems if we were really conscious of where and how things were made."
The other interesting takeaway from her interview? A little surprise insight about the agonies Emma endures for all those flawless, beautiful appearances at premieres and the like. Asked about the difference between her daily duds and her red-carpet looks, she said, "On the red carpet, I'm usually in so much discomfort—my shoes are uncomfortable, I can't breathe in the dress. I don't compromise like that in my everyday style."
Okay, love that. It's one thing to know intellectually that looking that gorgeous can't be easy; it's another to have Emma Watson actually admit out loud that the price of her much-lauded red carpet style is being unable to walk or breathe. We feel so much better about everything now.
Do you love Emma in these sustainably produced looks?

It's the perfect strap for dressing up.
The Mahogany Brown crocodile embossed leather strap for the Apple Watch is one of our most stylish straps and is perfect for those days when you're dressing to impress. Pair it with a brown belt and some nice brown shoes and your set is complete. This mahogany brown-colored crocodile embossed band is cut out of extremely high quality calfskin hides using only 'top grain' leather as opposed to the cheaper 'genuine', 'split', 'bonded' or even 'PU' (fake) leathers that are commonly used in cheaper bands. To make it that much more luxurious, we use a soft 'suede' leather interior to provide the utmost comfort on your wrist. It features a gorgeous Monvadon stainless steel butterfly clasp that opens with a single click of the two side buttons and secures effortlessly and comfortably around your wrist.

This makes for a more durable and softer leather which just like the actual surface layer of the hide (called 'Full Grain'), acquires some patina over time.
Designed by Monvadon
All our straps are one of a kind, each carefully designed to the tiniest detail by us. Made of highly durable, 100% genuine, top-grain calfskin leather. Our Caiman series is the only squared crodocile-style leather Apple Watch strap on the market that features a gorgeous stainless steel butterfly clasp.

What is Dabur Amla Hair Cream?
Dabur Amla Hair Creams are a range of hair care products by Dabur International (a wholly owned subsidiary of Dabur India based out of UAE). These hair creams include amla extract along with different oils, minerals and other herbal extracts to create specialized hair treatments for a number of conditions. The types of Dabur Amla Hair Creams include Hair Fall Therapy, Volumising Treatment, Intensive Repair Therapy, Intensive Moisturizing and Anti Dandruff.
This particular product is the Dabur Amla Hair Cream Intensive Repair Therapy that is meant to repair splits ends and heal damaged hair. Hair is usually damaged due to styling or coloring and according to Dabur, the Intensive Repair Therapy Hair Cream contains fortifying vitamins and an amino acid silicon complex along with amla extracts that repair, nourish and shield your hair.
You can find a complete list of ingredients listed further down this page. CCTG is Capric Caprylic Triglyceride, a specific fraction of coconut oil, while PEG 400 is a polyethylene glycol widely used in pharmaceuticals.
The Dabur Amla Intensive Repair Therapy Hair Cream contains parabens, a preservative which is the subject of some controversy. After an initial study in 2004 that suggested there might be a causal relationship between parabens and breast cancer, further studies were done which concluded there was no link between the use of products with paraben and breast cancer incidence. The American Cancer Society concluded that there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the use of such cosmetics increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
Is the Dabur Amla Intensive Repair Therapy Hair Cream right for me?
If you frequently style or color your hair, it is likely damaged, dry and prone to breakage. You may also be suffering from increased hair fall or hair loss. The Dabur Amla Hair Cream – Intensive Repair Therapy is designed specifically for such cases and is meant to heal your hair by nourishing it from the inside with aloe vera extract, essential oils and vitamin B5 and C.
A number of ingredients also provide protection from heat and sunlight ensuring that while your hair is being repaired and is recovering it suffers no additional damage. The amino acid silicon complex makes your lustrous even after the first use.
The Dabur Amla Hair Cream – Intensive Repair Therapy makes your hair healthier and shinier and heals damaged hair with regular use. It contains vitamins and surfactants to both strengthen hair and protect it from environmental causes of hair damage.
The Dabur Amla Intensive Repair Therapy Hair Cream smells quite nice and has a pleasing creamy consistency that makes it easy to apply as well.
Parabens may be a cause for concern for some people. There are no other drawbacks as far as we can discern.
Final thoughts
We find that the Dabur Amla Intensive Repair Therapy Hair Cream is a pretty good moisturizer and conditioner that you can use before or after shampooing your hair. It immediately adds luster and helps reduces hair fall, split ends and breakages. You can get it for a fairly reasonable price online or in brick and mortar stores.

ETA: wow, I think this is the wrong forum
Preface: I live in Houston, so I only saw maybe 23% of the eclipse before the sun set (got good pics though).
Anyway, so I was out, on a ladder in front of my moms house, snapping pictures of the eclipse and being excited as it's my first time seeing one. For the past month or so, I've been going through a divorce which has been overall very peaceful. The eclipse had just become invisible to me, and I was trying to get onto the roof to try and catch a final glimpse, when I see my car drive off - without me.
It wasn't anything for me to jump off the roof, and find out from my visiting family that my (ex)wife had gone to the bank (on a sunday evening!??!).
So about 5 minutes later, my father comes out, and confronts me about hitting my wife. I told him that if that's what she said, then she lied because when she left, I was all the way on the roof, with pictures and time stamps to prove it. So about 15 minutes later, visiting family left, and my wife returned. She immediately began accusing me of lying and saying that I hit her in the collar bone area. My temper got to me a little, and my parents began to intervene. Once in the house, both my parents, and her, begin browbeating me about my current situation. I recently got fired from my job and am in a dispute with UEI because the employer provided invalid reasons for my dismissal. Because of that situation, I was being called a dead beat, and such from all 3, as if I'm not busting my ass looking for work!
This confusing situation escalated more and more, until my father told me to leave, and to not come back - and that she was welcome to stay. After realizing he was serious, I left, confused, and honestly pretty depressed overall.
Not an hour later, my phone service was suspended for non payment.... even though I paid..........
So now, I'm living in my car, with no money to my name, confused as hell, with no phone. The only bright side, is I saw a (partial) solar eclipse for the first time in my life. good pics...
Could there be a connection between the eclipse, and the SHingTF in my life?edit on 22-5-2012 by My.mind.is.mine because: (no reason given)

You just had to go do it didn't you? Now I'm calling you a backstabber. The person who deliberately plays a nasty prank to hurt someone, and then turns around with a smile on their face saying I was only joking. Forgive my humor. I didn't mean anything by it. All the while smirking behind that smile thinking of the next time they can strike or their next victim.
This isn't a morbid sense of humor. It doesn't even come close. It is just down outright sick and disgusting behavior. It is plain wrong.
If I get flagged by this post so be it.
Back to the kitchen with ye!

Wim Wenders is no stranger to taking chances, certainly not with regards to the films he makes. It is not a mainstream sensibility that creates things like "Until the End of the World" and "Wings of Desire". Yeah, he gets a little too precious sometimes.

27 Oct What You Believe About Eschatology Will Greatly Affect The Way You Live Day To Day.
Sometimes people think eschatology is just for the theologians and pastors, but that could not be further from the truth. The second coming of Jesus Christ should be at the forefront of every Christians mind, life.
I have learned that eschatology is important, because it actually affects your life more than you may think.
What you know and believe about the book of Revelation, or what you don't know or believe will greatly affect the way you live day to day.
Here's what I mean…..
When I as at Calvary Chapel in the 80's the book of Revelation was the most studied and talked about book, Chuck preached about, talked about the return of Jesus a lot, so everyone had their thoughts and conversation set on Jesus' return. We lived in anticipation of it, and desire for Jesus to come quickly. The result was everyone lived with with a eternal mindset, so everyone was about doing the will of the Father, living out the great commission, we where passionate about sharing the gospel and seeing people get saved. Maranatha was a word spoken by one and all, Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus! was the cry of our hearts, we desired, longed for His return, to be with Him.
If you believe that the next 10 –3 0 years is all you have on the earth to live (whether they end by death or the return of Jesus), you will live very differently than if you know that life is not mainly about this life, but about the age to come, that's the way we lived back then at Calvary.
The Bible tells us that there is coming a day when heaven is coming to earth.
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." 6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts."
(Revelation 21:1-6 NKJV)
Most people avoid the book of Revelation, I love it, it's a Revelation of Jesus Christ, it's the most vivid presentation of He who is, events leading up to His 2nd coming, it's what every follower of Jesus hearts long for, because it's what we were made for!
I began studying the book of Revelation again for a study group I was in, but more because as I mentioned earlier I believe that having a heart rooted in eternity, and the age to come dramatically affects my life on a day to day basis.
Here are some of the ways I feel it impacts my life dramatically whether I set my heart on the age to come or just on this life:
- The only way I believe I will walk out my life with the correct priorities in life is if I have a revelation that everything I do in this age can carry on into the next and have eternal value.
- The only way I can make the right choses for career, mate, how I spend my time is through the lens of what will pass away and what is eternal, that Jesus and His Kingdom is coming soon.
- I will live a live looking for, being prepared, ready for His return. (Luke 21:36)
"Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." (Matthew 24:42-44 ESV)
- An eternal perspective will guard me from making the American dream my life pursuit, goal. If I know that this life is not to be where I set my heart, then I will not try to fill my life with things that will only pass away. I will spend my time and money differently.
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
(Colossians 3:1-4ESV)
- I will have perspective for pain: I will know that this world has pain and disappointment, and that where I am going, there will be no more pain, sorrow, sadness or death. Therefore any pain I experience in this life I can use to propel me closer to the heart of Jesus, knowing that pain will not always be my portion and will come to an end.
- It will cause me to set my heart on the great commission, make spreading the gospel the single most important thing in life, my life priority.
- Maranatha! will be the cry of my heart, come Lord Jesus with fill my prayers, thoughts and desires. Everyday I will eagerly anticipate and look foreword to the return of Jesus.
- Setting my heart on the age to come will prepare my heart to not fear persecution or death.
- Setting my heart on the age to come will propel my heart to want to live a life poured out for Jesus and for the sake of His name, no matter what the cost.
"For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing." (Timothy 4:6-8 NKJV)
(This list is by no means exhaustive. )
All throughout the New Testament, you will find the centrality of this theme exhorting us to set our hearts and minds on things to come…
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on things that are on earth." ( Col. 3: 1,2)
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on this earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)
"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself." (Phil. 3:20-21)
I want to live a life on the earth that will have eternal significance. Our culture screams at us trying to convince us that we must store up as much as we can and live life to the fullest in this age. I want to fight against the deception that tries to dull my spirit and make me settle in for a life of comfort and ease.
I am asking the Lord to wake me up, to give me a greater revelation of eternity. I encourage you to find out for yourself what the Word says about eternity and the age to come, and talk to Jesus about what that means for how you should live your life today.
I want to go back to life, fellowship to be like it was at Calvary Chapel back then, all things centered on the second coming of Jesus, Maranatha being the cry of my heart and center of the conversations of Christians.
May we not forget that we are just pilgrims on this earth passing through, with a eternal mindset, and desire above all the return of Jesus.

Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 2 Hansard (27 February) . . Page.. 627..
MR MOORE (continuing):
But you being Speaker, and because of the way you look after members here, I am sure all other members would take the opportunity to say how much we enjoyed your speakership and all the nice things we could think of. I am just trying to think of one, if I can, Mr Speaker.
Before I sit down, I call on the Government to stop being embarrassed. Please, Chief Minister, stand up and say something about Mr De Domenico. Please use the opportunity. I do not know how else to embarrass you into making sure you do say something. Mr Osborne has asked question after question at question time, and I have backed him up, because it is just unfair.
MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister) (7.01): Mr Speaker, I would like to place on record my and my party's support and thanks to Tony De Domenico, who resigned as Deputy Chief Minister and from this Assembly last month to take up a position in the private sector. Mr De Domenico served this Assembly for almost five years. During that time he served variously as Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Deputy Chief Minister, and for a couple of weeks here and there as Acting Chief Minister. His departure from the Assembly certainly marks the end of a meaningful, if colourful, political career. It was built entirely on looking after the people of Canberra to the best of his ability, and I am sure that nobody would take that away from him. I am sure that Tony would not mind being called colourful, because no-one could accuse him of being a wilting flower when it came to the cut and thrust of debate, both inside and outside these four walls.
Mr De Domenico came to this Assembly from a background in business and extensive community involvement. He came to Australia in 1950. Many people may not know Tony's background. He is the only son of Egyptian parents. The De Domenicos fled political persecution in Egypt to emigrate to Australia. They arrived in Melbourne and they were penniless. It is worth noting that Tony's father, Renato, went to Fishermens Bend to build Holdens, while his mother, Irma, worked on a production line building television sets. Tony was educated at Marist Brothers College at Preston and later studied for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Melbourne University, before being somewhat diverted to politics. In 1976 he stood for the seat of Reservoir, a Labor Party stronghold, and although he lost he improved the Liberal Party's vote. He then worked as a customs officer before becoming the adviser to the Victorian Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs, Mr Walter Jona, in 1979. It was probably at that time that Tony really became wedded to politics.
He moved to Canberra in the 1980s to take up the position of regional manager of the Insurance Council of Australia, and in 1988 he began working as a lobbyist and public relations specialist for Royce Consolidated. In Canberra he became a very active member of both the community and the Liberal Party. Tony held many positions.

Both before and after Anwar Sadat, Egypt stands as the cornerstone of Western interests in the Middle East. It sits astride the Suez Canal and controls the western shore of the Red Sea -- just across from the populous Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia and the new, Rotterdam-like oil port of Yanbu.
It fronts on an important stretch of the eastern, Mediterranean and is the southern route into Israel, the eastern route into Libya, and the northern access into Chad and Sudan.
Egypt has oil (approaching 1 million barrels per day), water from the Nile, 43 million people with a significant professional class, and a strong standing Army of 300,000 soldiers.
Egypt is partly Arabian, partly African, partly European. And after Israel, India, and Lebanon, Egypt comes closer to social liberalism -- even a leading government critic admits -- than most other third-world countries.
"Egypt is a vital piece of territory," says an American Mideast analyst. "If not now, then it certainly has the potential of becoming the most powerful nation in the Middle East."
Most Western Mideast experts see Egypt in the same league of strategic importance as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and above Israel, Iran, Iraq, and Oman. It is for this reason that the death of Anwar Sadat -- and the assassins' link to the armed forces -- has caused more shock and apprehension among some Westerners during the past week than it has among many Egyptians.
If Washington was seeking a "strategic consensus" in the Middle East involving Egypt, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, it found in Anwar Sadat an eager partner. Mr. Sadat offered the US use of Egyptian territory for military operations in the event of a crisis. The US in return has given Egypt almost $2 billion in military sales credits since 1979 and stands ready to upgrade Egyptian military facilities at Ras Banas on the Red Sea and at Minya and Cairo.
In the wake of the Sadat assassination, Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. announced that weapons deliveries to Egypt and Sudan would be expedited and US-Egyptian exercises greatly expanded. Even before the Sadat assassination, Washington, at Sadat's behest, was turning its attention to northeastern Africa, where problems along the Chad-Sudan border had threatened to draw Egypt and Libya into war. Such a war could bring in other Arab countries and Israel as well. Sadat's messenger with news of this crisis was former Vice-President, now President-elect, Hosni Mubarak.
This was how Egyptian defense interests coincided with American strategic interests during the Sadat regime, and, according to Western and Egyptian observers, this will still be the case with Mr. Mubarak.
But if his early statements are any indication, Mr. Mubarak is less condemnatory toward Libya's Col. Muammar Qaddafi than was Sadat. This, plus Mubarak's need to consolidate his rule and ensure the loyalty of the armed forces, and his deliberate, military style, means that the new president will act cautiously toward Libya.
But that is not the case with Sudan, whose president, Jaafar Nimeiry, is warning that continued border problems and incursions by Libyan jets may force him to launch a preemptive strike against Libya. If this occurs, no matter how cautious Mubarak is, Egypt will likely fight on the side of its Sudanese ally.
The explosion of two small bombs Oct. 13 after the arrival of an Air Malta flight (which originated in Tripoli) to Cairo airport could act to raise tension significantly between Egypt and Libya. Libya, as well as Algeria, has been harboring former Egyptian Army commander Saad Eddin Shazli, who claims to be directing Egyptian insurgents.
Already the alliance is tightening. Sudan has joined the joint US-Egyptian exercises next month. Oman is considering joining, too. This show of solidarity with Egypt may entail the use of American B-52 bombers to practice high-altitude bombing, thereby sending a message to Libya of the formidable consequences of attacking or attempting to destabilize either Egypt or Sudan.
For the time being, US strategists appear to be satisfied that the new Mubarak regime will continue to offer Egypt as one of the legs of the US-desired "strategic consensus" in the Middle East. Israel readily offers itself as the second. But the third party today -- as before the Sadat assassination -- remains a reluctant Saudi Arabia. The congressional debate over AWACS radar planes and other arms, strategists feel, not the developments in Egypt, still represents the key to developing a strategic consensus in the Middle East.

I am riding a bicycle for the first time in 20 years, and "my" city has opened up to me like a jack-in-the-box. I am making a tour of 24 sculptures from 11 countries, which have been nestled in Vancouver's public landscape for 18 months. There are no Do Not Touch signs. This cultural "invasion" was actually the inaugural Vancouver Sculpture Biennale, and each work begged to be touched and scrutinized—on foot or roller blades, by bicycle or wheelchair, 24/7. Although Vancouver prides itself on its natural beauty, the concept of free public art has only recently taken root here.

Watford are believed to have rejected a transfer request from Darius Henderson, who is angry the Hornets snubbed a bid for him from Fulham.
Henderson handed in the request on Wednesday after Watford boss Adrian Boothroyd blocked a potential move to the Cottagers.
The bid is believed to be in the region of £1.5million, but Watford have rebuffed Fulham's overtures as they are keen to keep hold of Henderson.

For some people, any monetary cost of alcohol or drug addiction rehab is too much.
For people residing in hardship and those who are out of work, even homeless, and dealing with the physical, psychological, and financial cost of addiction, the concept of entering a treatment program seems impossible due to the fact that there is just no loan offered. Since numerous treatment programs are beyond the ability of these people or their families to manage, a few of them try an unsafe cold-turkey or at-home detox, or other treatment techniques that are not evidence-based and provided by organizations with questionable certifications. A few of these people, although they wish to move past their addictions, give up on the concept of rehab entirely just based on the inability to pay.

What Takes place in Dependency Rehabilitation? Serving 37824
Addiction rehab treatment is tailored to the needs of each individual. This usually involves some combination of detoxing (detox), group and individual alcohol abuse therapy, regression prevention education, and aftercare preparation prior to program completion in order to maintain long-term sobriety.
What is detox?
Detox, or detoxification, is the clearing of toxic substances or damaging compounds from the body. A detox may be done by taking supplements or drinking liquids that are made particularly for cleansing, fasting and eating prescribed foods. This flushing of contaminants is essential for an individual's health and stability. While detox might be uneasy and tough, there are ways to decrease the physical pain. Detox can be harmful if not managed by a competent physician. Detox addresses the physical concerns that include dependency. As soon as a client undergoes detox from alcohol or drugs, they are then all set to begin the mental journey to healing.
Various dependencies call for different treatments. In order to find out exactly what is finest for you, discuss your situation with a certified health care expert, such as a therapist, addictions therapist, psychiatrist or doctor. Ask for a recommendation to a reliable treatment facility.

I'm dubbing this past week "The calm before the storm." Because although we had enough going on to keep our little guests of guests busy, this week (NYC Fashion Week, AND Social Media Week) is going to be sheer insanity. Thankfully, I've been preparing myself with emergen-c drinks all weekend. A look back....

Speaking of Birthdays, a much younger nightlife character, DJ Nick Cohen was born on the exact same day as Steve! [Happy Birthday DJ Nick Cohen!]
And everyone's favorite financial blogger, John Carney also rang in another big year, with a "Clusterstock" of admirers in the LES. [John Carney's Birthday Celebration]

The Black Eyed Peas and the newly wed Fergie gave back at their 5th Annual Peapod Foundation's Benefit Concert. [The Black Eyed Peas Party]
Redheads make up less than 2% of the population. It was about time someone threw a party to celebrate them. [Save The Redheads At Cain]

Holiday networking with an eye toward 2011
by Ilise Benun
Between the moments of holiday cheer, this is a good time to be thinking of what you want to accomplish in 2011: both personal and career goals. Focus on the rungs just ahead of you, not all the way up the ladder.
The obligatory holiday office party is an optimal vehicle. Who do you need to chat with? Who needs to put your face to your name? Who don't you get access to very often, whether the head of the company or someone who isn't in the office much?
This is not the time to get into long discussions about business issues. But it is the perfect opportunity to get a little "face time", providing you have the confidence to make the approach and are clear on what you need to say and/or ask.
If you don't know what to say, we'll help you. Post your questions here and together we'll see if we can't brainstorm a solution for you.
And here are a few more holiday networking tips… http://www.marketingmixblog.com/blog/2006/11/tis_the_season_.html

I was in Chennai for an event. It was my first visit. I really liked the ancient feel of the place. The old Architecture and Monuments were eye candy to me but the one place that took my heart away was the Flower market which I spotted on my way back from the sun rise at the Besant Nagar Beach.
At the beach I saw an old giant turtle that was kicked by the waves to the seashore. Every time it was coming to the sea shore Dogs used to get their teeth on it but the mean waves snatched it every time.
It was really big and old with eyes hollow and empty. I find it ancient too.
I sat on a wooden log along with my friend and waited for the Sun to rise. In the meantime my friend told me one interesting fact about the place. Every weekend people from well off family come in their car to sell their homegrown vegetables. I was really delighted to see it.
There was a skating ground too where kids of all sizes were playing. They used to fall and rise quicker than the sun and with smiles on their faces.
I had only half a day with me and I wanted to make the best use of it.
After the beach I went to have the best tea at 'Lancy'and in its neighborhood was this amazing beautiful aromatic street full of colorful flowers Flower Bazaar, Parrys.
I remember only once i celebrated Valentine's day and that was in school :) Now I find myself too big for all this. However this trip really filled me with youthfulness again. It gave me the maddest idea for celebrating Valentine. I don't know of the Girls taste but how will i be satisfied with one red rose or one bouquet of roses or even say 10. All will be just too little in front of this flower market. I just want to be in this street till i can manage to get a dip on the basket full of all kind and colors of roses. Chennai wasn't that bad as I imagined. In fact I liked it a lot and will never mind to return to this place again and again for just being at this flower market again.
Well I forgot to carry the Camera for the Beach but then I really couldn't miss this place and wanted to carry it back with me so i went to Hotel and carried the Camera with me and came back to this place even after spending an hour. I had to be back again and spent two more hours.
Too much of words are already here. I don't want the readers to get caught in it. I have my whole experience to offer to you.
Roses rained :)
Inca Flowers!
Marigold Flowers!
Various leaves are used for adding the lush green to the Garlands.
Looks like legs to me :P
This above garland in red roses is for marriage purpose.
Banana fibers are used instead of threads for making garlands.
I was offered so many roses for my hair. It was almost full with Roses :)
I clicked so many people as it was the simplest way to make them happy.
Flowers are sold at per kilo price.
Thank you for going through my post. Hope you enjoyed it too and could smell the flowers :)


text: A recent story on The Salt blog looks at the growing range of alternative proteins available to consumers and manufacturers. Soy has dominated the plant protein market, but proteins from sources such as pea, rice, bean, potato, and quinoa are gaining popularity. In addition, protein from microalgae—a wholefood ingredient that retains a wealth of nutrients—has been incorporated into some products, and companies such as Solazyme are turning the algae into powder for use in cooking, baking, and smoothies.

Atlanta, couple of blocks from the Omni hotel, where we're staying. Think it's 1992, but maybe '91. Me and Joe Linsner, the guy I was working with at the time, are waiting in a restaurant for a table, and the place is packed. Of course it is. It's the Diamond Sales Seminar or whatever they called it, and the whole town is full of comic book people. Store owners, publishers, sales reps, business partners, supplies retailers – you name it, everyone is there. Along with a host of creators.
So, we're starved, it's been a long day, and we were sick of fast food. We wind up talking to some folks from DC comics, and the hostess tells us we're looking at another 35 minutes or so, unless.
"Would you mind being seated together?"
I didn't mind. Joe didn't mind. The DC crew was in the same boat-starving and not terribly interested in continuing to forage. So, we get seated, order some drinks, start talking shop, and have a general good time.
Now, keep in mind, I was never a big comic book reader. Creepy and EERIE? Sure. House of Mystery? Chamber of Chills? You Will Believe In GHOSTS? That was my thing. But, much of the conversation at dinner is superhero talk, which I was still enjoying, but mostly listening to. At one point, Vince (I believe it was Vince Letterio, but it's been forever, so if I'm wrong, chalk it up to that) says, "You're awful quiet." (Which of course, I rarely am, and we'd met before, so he knew it.) I mentioned that whatever book they'd been talking wasn't my thing. So he says, "C'mon-like you wouldn't want to write a Batman miniseries."
And, truth was, I couldn't have cared less. I didn't read Batman, I didn't think the movies out at the time were very good, and while DC money would've been nice, only one thing made the possibility appealing, and I told him so.
"Only way I'd write a Batman mini is if I could add a villain to the rogues gallery."
Huh??? That was the reaction. Vince, the woman and guy – think his name might've been Dave – couldn't imagine why that would be my lone requirement. (I probably said 'Demand', but even I wasn't that much of a hard-ass.) So, I explained:
"Batman never kills anyone of consequence. Sure, the Penguin's always losing henchmen and the Joker's goons are cannon fodder, but why would I want to try and tell a different version of the same story? Plus, unless you throw in a stranger, why would anyone ever set up shop in Gotham? Batman lives there for chrissakes! He's always thwarting villains' plans. Why not go be a bad guy in Aspen, or Dallas?"
Well, that gets things rolling. And sure enough, that subject carries through all the way to dessert, which Joe and I bail on. But Vince mentions to me before I split, something along the lines of, "You oughta stop by the booth and run that by so-and-so tomorrow."
But I never did. Not that I wouldn't have followed through should someone in charge been willing to give me the shot. The DC credit alone would have helped me further hype my comic, which was, at the time, Cry for Dawn. But I had tunnel-vision. I only wanted to focus on making Cry for Dawn bigger. Banking more Cry for Dawn stories. Finding artists good enough to stand alongside Joe between the covers. So I never tested those waters. What I did do, though, because guest appearances were becoming hot in crossovers and inter-publisher partnerships, was come up with my bad guy. And so, the seed for what would eventually become the Villain & Hero ashcan – released in 1993 – was planted.
This past week, I've been cleaning out my garage and locating a lot of old books. Stuff that goes back to 1989 and the genesis of Cry for Dawn, short stories that were originally slated for the book but never made it in because the title couldn't stay on schedule, etc. And I thought, "You know, I could rework the Villain & Hero short story to bring it up to date, but pretty much leave it as it was otherwise." I dunno if I'll do anything with the character(s) beyond that, but you never know. I still have a lot of friends in comics, doing stuff here and there. Would I want to do another comic? A horror comic? No question. A superhero comic?
Probably not. But, and there's always a but, isn't there? I'd sure consider guesting somewhere. Maybe not DC (or maybe DC, though I have no clue if I still know anyone over there), but somewhere. Why not? I'd be happy to throw a villain at just about anybody if they'd let me wreak the kind of havoc I like without too much hand-wringing over who dies and how.
I'll letcha know how it goes. Pam's gonna be scanning the originals into the computer and spitting me out a file to start workin' on. I've already reached out to an artist I think would do a good job bringing the key character to life
Maybe even death. We'll see.

Allentown's Blues Brews & Barbecue festival, which for the past seven years has lured people downtown for music, food, beer and more, is back for an eighth year Noon-10 p.m. June 13, but a lot has changed.
Allentown's PPL Center arena opened, leading more than $1 billion in development of restaurants, stores and more.

After seven years with the same layout, the festival has doubled in size, from one block to two. It will stretch along Hamilton from Ninth to Seventh streets.

In the three fiscal years from 2007-2009, the Department of Homeland Security caught and released 481 illegal aliens from nations designated as state sponsors of terrorism and "countries of interest," and those 481 aliens are now fugitives, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement database obtained by CNSNews.com as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request.
The four state sponsors of terrorism, as determined by the State Department, are Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba. The "countries of interest" are those additional countries whose citizens have been subjected to enhanced screening on U.S.-bound flights by the Transportation Security Administration as a result of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Flight 253.
On Jan. 3, 2010, TSA said in a statement that the agency was "mandating that every individual flying into the U.S. from anywhere in the world who holds a passport issued by or is traveling from or through nations that are state sponsors of terrorism or other countries of interest will be required to go through enhanced screening." TSA did not specify which nations it considered "countries of interest."
But a Jan. 4, 2010 New York Times report, citing Obama administration officials, identified them as Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.
A report in USA Today that day, citing the TSA as the source, described the full list of nations whose citizens would be targeted for enhanced security checks as "14 countries with terrorism problems."
