New Orleanians love a good party, and the city is noted for throwing entertaining fetes. Whether a small gathering for friends and family or a large soiree for a couple of hundred guests, a successful party will be remembered for years. The basics of party planning are the same regardless of the size of the guest list, and we asked local event planners for advice about how to create a memorable event with unforgettable flair. (See the detailed "Party planning checklist" on p. 15).
When and why
According to EmilyPost.com ("Six Ways To Be A Good Host"), being a good host means planning well and considering the variables involved in having a party: the reason for the celebration, the size of the event, the venue, the budget, the time of year and more.
The date of the party is usually the first decision made. Next, local event designer and planner Kellie Mathas of Tchoupitoulas + Vine says she begins with the person or people for whom the party is being given and the demographics of the guests.
"How I'm going to spend the budget and plan all depends on the demographics," says Mathas, who in 2001 became the first person in Louisiana to obtain Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) accreditation. "Knowing who is coming to the party affects everything from the dinner plate and the band to the seating."
It's important to get the location of the party set because the setup, timeline, flow, decor and more can be dependent on the space.
"I tell people right away if you're going to have a party and it's not going to be in your home, then you have to find a venue," says Patti Constantin of Patti Constantin Designs in Catering. "Go with the venue you want, whether they have outside catering or not. If it's a rose garden you want, book a rose garden. If the level of food is not what you want, then pick the best of what they do, and don't make the food the focus. Don't try to make them do something they don't do."
Having a party at home eliminates the cost of renting a space, but there are advantages to having your party away from home. Many employ or can recommend professionals to help with the planning. Plus, as Perry Culbertson, director of special events for the Audubon Nature Institute, points out, there is no lengthy at-home preparation, house cleaning, yard work or post-party cleanup. "When it's over, you can walk away," he says.
Event planners recommend developing your decor after selecting the venue; some decorative items may be included with the rental, while at other places you may need to bring in flowers and decorations specific to your plan. If it's a theme party (see "Party super" on p. 11), keep the motif in mind when selecting a venue and assessing decor.
Parties based on AMC's Mad Men series have been popular, Mathas says, but successfully recreating the 1960s look requires bringing in "heavy decor."
When the demographics of the guest list are mainstream, Mathas suggests looking for decorative ideas on websites like Pinterest. If guests are younger and more innovative, she turns to trends in fashion, film, television and marketing. She recommends Bizbash.com, a website for event professionals, as a good place to scout out creative ideas and themes. Or tune in to your guests' interests.
"Inspiration can be found anywhere," Culbertson says. "Anything on TV, in the news, in fashion magazines and in home magazines. ... But you should focus on what makes sense for the occasion. Ask yourself about the person the party is for. What is he interested in?"
At the Audubon Institute's party venues, Culbertson says simple elegance with natural, rustic elements is the current prevailing taste in decor. Mathas says she sees a shift toward sleeker, more modern motifs.
At Urban Earth Design Studios, which began as a fashion-forward florist and now covers the full spectrum of party planning, designers say casual "lounge" atmospheres are trending. The studio has devised a questionnaire to help designers determine clients' individual styles.
If food is a priority and your budget allows, party planners suggest hiring a good caterer to cut down on a host's prep time and allow them to enjoy the event. Many venues can suggest caterers with whom they work regularly, or ask for recommendations from the hosts of events where you enjoyed the food and service. When designing a menu, Constantin, like Mathas, first considers the honoree of the party.
"If it's a 30th birthday for a woman, I want to know what she is like, what colors does she like," says Constantin, who has worked in the catering business for 20 years. She also asks what clients don't like in order to customize her culinary and decorative presentations.
"I want it to be personalized and fun and to incorporate elements of surprise," Constantin says. "I always want to take it to a new level."
Food choices will vary according to the age and tastes of the guests, Mathas says. Older guests may prefer more traditional fare and modes of serving, while younger guests respond to interactive food stations that involve more decision-making, such as building their own s'mores or choosing their own toppings.
Service Staff
Hiring food and drinks servers frees a host to mingle with guests and enjoy the festivities. If you can't afford a service staff, Mathas suggests recruiting family members or college students to tend bar or serve.
Another option is a self-serve buffet, which just needs to be refreshed periodically, and limit the drinks offered to options that don't have to be made on the spot, such as beer, wine and premixed cocktails.
Any entertainment you choose should be appropriate to the occasion and the environment, Culbertson says. If it's a hunting-themed 50th birthday party for a man, for example, a Cajun-zydeco band might fit the bill; a Southern-style spring cocktail party would be well-paired with a jazz trio; a lounge singer would be a good match for an artsy nighttime event; and a party with young people on the guest list could benefit from a dance band that plays popular covers.
"Once you've determined the reason and the theme of the party, you want entertainment that will enhance and not compete with it," Culbertson says.
If the venue presents safety issues, hire a professional — a lifeguard for a pool party or an off-duty police officer for security — to ensure the safety and security of guests. Reducing risk is a worthwhile investment.
Other Amenities
Additional considerations, including valet parking, sound setups, special lighting and more, may factor into the budget and planning, depending on the scope of the event.
"It just depends on how much you want to do," Mathas says. How much you can do may depend on the amount of lead time you have before the event. One of the latest trends in extras is an interactive photo booth that allows guests to instantly post images on Twitter and Instagram. Other special touches might include a caricature artist, sno-ball stand and more (see "Extra special," p. 19).
For outdoor parties, you may want to rent portable misters or fans or a tent in case of rain or intense heat. Rental companies also offer tables, chairs, linens, tableware, glassware, serving items and more.
In the end, industry specialists agree it's the basics that matter most. "In my opinion, the key elements are good food, good drink, good entertainment and a creative venue," Culbertson says. "Those are the things people remember."
• Be realistic. "Not every idea is easy or inexpensive," says Kellie Mathas, an event planner at Tchoupitoulas + Vine. She advises picking three things you love the most and doing them well instead of doing a lot of things with mediocre results.
• Make a plan and stick to it. Have as much done prior to the day of the event as possible.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help. "Most people work full time and the money you spend trying to pull it all together on your own — things like last-minute shipping and retail prices — can add up," Mathas says. Event planners work on reduced costs and can get better prices with vendors, so hiring an event planner or caterer may save you money.
• Always keep your original idea in mind. "If you're looking for blue stars (to match your theme) and you find red, white and blue moons on sale, it's not the same," says Darren Isabelle of Urban Earth Design Studios. "Try not to settle." — Lee Cutrone
• Allow adequate time for planning. Many event planners agree three months (for events other than weddings) is optimal, but many hosts work with less. "The more lead time a client brings to the table, the better job the [planner] can do of capturing the essence of what they want," says Darren Isabelle of Urban Earth. That business likes to finalize all the details of an event three weeks in advance.
• Do your homework. When hiring a party planner, Kellie Mathas, an event planner at Tchoupitoulas + Vine, advises you ask how long they've been in the business, whether they have a specialty (social, wedding or corporate, for example) and how they handle pricing.
• Ask for references. Mathas suggests asking for three references from the last year. In addition, most venues have a list of event planners they've worked with and can recommend.
"The event planning industry has grown tremendously and with that, there are a lot of fly-by-night planners," says Perry Culbertson, director of special events for the Audubon Nature Institute. "I only recommend people that I've used."

Austin, Texas band Tinnarose is a group that doesn't like to be pigeon-holed. If you listen to their debut self-titled album, you'll hear everything from straight-ahead indie rock ("When You're Gone") to Paul Simon's Graceland-inspired world beat ("She Is My Maker") to Steely Dan-esque jazz-rock fusion ("Monster") to Fairport Convention-esque folk rock ("Willie O'Winsbury"). That this manages to hold somewhat together is a feat of its own. Skipping through genres, and not establishing a signature sound, may be considered a weakness, but Tinnarose manage to find a strength by doing so. Each of these songs is uniquely Tinnarose, and, as a whole, the album offers enough twists and turns to give a great deal of variety to the listeners. Tinnarose is a pleasurable experience, but no more so than when female vocalist Devon McDermott takes the spotlight. Her take on the no-choruses "Willie O'Winsbury" is a strong candidate for song of the year, the sort of thing that may make the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention. Her vaguely Irish lilt calls to mind Linda Thompson, and, if you were to strip away the song's instrumentation (which is fantastic, by the way), it could stand on its own. It's simply breathtaking, and it's clear that we have a new talent worthy of laurels on our hands here.

I always welcome (I suppose) all Hollywood revisits to the 16th century, in the faint hope that things Elizabethan might suddenly seem modish to my students. I am told by those same students that The Golden Age opens here today. So here is Cate Blanchett in a publicity still giving it her maximum Gloriana, while Clive Owen is her 'Sweet Sir Walter'. Ratings over on the IMDB are good:
I suppose I am looking forward, with temperate expectation, to seeing it.
The same kind of conversation led me to mentioning a piece of Elizabethan Petrarchising to a student who knows the originals far, far better than I ever will, and who is (astonishing though it may seem that such people exist) a latterday member of the Petrarchisti, keen to keep Petrarch's wreath of laurel, bay and myrtle in a suitably flourishing state.
The poem I had in mind was a sonnet published in The Phoenix Nest, 1593. Here it is:
Those eyes which set my fancy on a fire,
Those crisped hairs which hold my heart in chains,
Those dainty hands which conquered my desire,
That wit which of my thoughts doth hold the reins!
Those eyes, for clearness do the stars surpass,
Those hairs obscure the brightness of the sun,
Those hands, more white than ever ivory was,
That wit, even to the skies hath glory won!
O eyes that pierce our hearts without remorse,
O hairs of right that wear a royal crown,
O hands that conquer more than Caesar's force,
O wit that turns huge kingdoms upside down!
Then Love be judge, what heart may thee withstand,
Such eyes, such hair, such wit, and such a hand.
The thing that has always struck me about this sonnet is way we react as we read through it. The octave grinds through the conventional rota of compliments in a way that triggers instant impatience. ('Oh, good grief, not another one.') And, as we drag our weary eyes down into the sestet, we stir back awake, even though that tiresome correlative structure is still unfolding. It is addressed to someone that wears a royal crown by right, whose wit 'turns huge kingdoms upside down'. There's only one person fits the bill, and there's Cate Blanchett above impersonating her.
Agnes Latham, editing Ralegh, saw this as a Ralegh-circle poem. He might have had it ghosted, for it is more mechanical than Ralegh's usual wavering line. But more likely, he wrote it himself. Emrys Jones doesn't discount the possibility in his brief note on the poem in his Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse.
Suddenly the cardboard petrarchisms shift aside, and we half glimpse no less a man than Ralegh addressing Elizabeth I. The conventional lover's deference in the poem is the court favourite to the woman whose favour lifted him from being an obscure gentleman-swordsman, hardened in vicious campaigning in Ireland, to what he became ('the best-hated man in England', and other attendant benefits).
So the amusement of it all is, can we possibly imagine a more fantastically boring poem being transacted between two more fantastically interesting people?

My goal is to put my Communication and Language skills to use as an editor or writer. I have excellent written and verbal skills that transfer to an office or creative writing. I worked in the corporate world for ten years, but decided to go back and finish school, which was the best decision I ever made. During college I had the opportunity to work with children in non-profit organizations: Jumpstart, an early childhood education program that targets low-income areas, and my externship with the American Indian Center as a mentor. Working with youth at risk has been my favorite job. I relate to them and have a good repoire with youth because I know how to communicate with them. Ideally I would like to write fiction for a living and in the meantime enhance my skills as an editor/writer.

The Vulcans' roles were changing and as we approach the early 80s - plans were being made to slowly retire the fleet.
Following the transfer of the strategic deterrent role to the Royal Navy's Polaris fleet, on 30th June 1969, the RAF maintained three nuclear-capable low-level penetration Vulcan wings with different weaponry, and accordingly different standard of aircraft. The Scampton Vulcans were designated B Mk.2A as they had provision for Blue Steel. The Cottesmore aircraft had B Mk.2s armed with WE177 laydown thermonuclear weapons. Finally, the Waddington Wing of Nos 44, 50 and 101 Squadrons, relinquished their B Mk.1As, and the Yellow Sun Mk.2, in favour of Vulcan B Mk.2s armed with WE177 thermonuclear weapons.
On 29 March 1972, 27 Squadron disbanded at Scampton but re-formed on 1 November 1973 with Vulcans modified for the maritime radar reconnaissance role, the aircraft being known as B Mk.2 MRR. (XH558 being one of the aircraft fulfilling this role).
XH558 at the time in her MRR role. Terry Senior collection.
The MRR Vulcans had Loran C navigation equipment, various electronic sensors, and photographic equipment fitted in the bomb-aimer's window. Some aircraft also carried air sampling pods on under-wing pylons in their secondary role of upper air sampling. A small change to the Vulcan's outline also arrived at this time, as the tailfin sprouted a rectangular fairing housing the antenna for the Marconi 18228 radar warning receiver. This improved on its predecessor by being able to display data on several threats at once.
During November 1973 some of the Vulcans began to take on yet another role, with the establishment of No. 27 Squadron as a Maritime Radar Reconnaissance unit, having been removed from the strike role in March 1972. The Vulcans converted for this new role became known as SR Mk.2s, and No. 27 Squadron took the place of No. 543 Squadron, which had operated SR Mk.2 Victors until its disbandment in May 1974.

The Turkish invasion of northern Cyprus in mid-1974 led to the Akrotiri Wing being dispersed to Malta before it was withdrawn from the Mediterranean altogether to help defuse the political situation. IX Squadron returned to Britain and joined the Waddington Wing, whilst 35 Squadron went to Scampton.
The Vulcan's serviceability rate had always been kept at a high level through the professionalism of RAF ground crews, and through the excellent refurbishing and major overhaul programmes carried out by both the RAF at St. Athan and Hawker Siddeley Aviation, now part of British Aerospace, at their airfield at Bitteswell. The RAF Engineering wing at St. Athan completed its 500th Vulcan overhaul in September 1978, when XM573 returned to No. 44 Squadron.
Based within sight of Lincoln Cathedral since 1975, the eight surviving Vulcan B.Mk.2 units remained in the forefront of the RAF's strike force until the run-down began in 1981, having cost £5million per year* to operate since 1969. By early 1982, the remaining Vulcan fleet was likely to be reduced even further. Events at that time rather extended their operational life, but more on that next week.
* £5million in 1971 is now estimated to be worth £68million in 2017 - adjusted using the Retail Price Index of inflation.

Box Office Report
for the Week - 13 Oct 2012
´Aiyyaa´ Scores Over ´Bhoot´ & ´Makkhi´ ; Sridevi´s ´English Vinglish´ Scores ; ´OMG!´ Is A Superhit!
Let us know what you think about this box-office report
Though the trade and media were of the view that Ram Gopal Varma's 3D horror flick, `Bhoot Returns`, would mark a triumphant comeback for the once maverick director, but 3 D is no guarantee for success, and the film has to have merits as well to succeed. And so, the next edition of RGV's highly successful `Bhoot` (2003), saw collections hovering around the 10-15 percent mark. The film did see encouraging collections at some cinemas of Delhi-NCR (over 30 percent). Unfortunately, the feedback for the film is poor and so no perceptible pick up was observed in the latter shows. The other major release, SS Rajamouli's `Makkhi`, the dubbed version of his blockbuster hit `Eega`, was just a shade better than `Bhoot Returns`, and could not emulate it's phenomenal success down South. In fact, it was Rani Mukerji's `Aiyyaa` that saw a decent opening of 25-30 percent on an average with Mumbai circuit faring the best.

Last Friday's Sridevi starrer, `English Vinglish`, witnessed a phenomenal pick up on Saturday and Sunday as compared to the opening day and it saw stable though low end collections during the weekdays, and after netting an impressive 12.50 crore during the opening weekend, the film ended the first week with around 20 crore (including regional dubbed versions). The best collections came from the Mysore circuit followed by Hyderabad-Nizam . The film is phenomenal in the Overseas, especially in US and UAE. The Gauri Shinde directed venture would have fared much better had it not been for the magical performance of the week old but still hot, `OMG Oh My God!`.

Meanwhile Akshay Kumar's Paresh Rawal starrer, `OMG Oh My God!`, continued it's inspired run, even during the second week. The film is already a super hit and has a lot of firepower left to go a notch higher. `OMG Oh My God!` has also done very well in the Overseas.

Sony has put the fears of gamers to rest by announcing even more clearly that the PlayStation 4 will support used games, as well as trading or lending of games, and does not require constant net access to play single player disc titles.
In what was very clearly a huge dig at Microsoft's ambiguous position, Sony's emphatic affirmation of the "ownership" paradigm of disc-based games drew huge cheers from E3 crowds and probably ranks as their biggest PR coup for the PS4 so far.
Just to rub things in further, Sony provides a helpful video describing the procedure required to share a game on the PS4:

Scott Delucchi, senior vice president at the Peninsula Humane Society offers a post-holiday roundup of the shelter's holiday activities and talks about a new way to adopt pets at a mall in San Mateo.
How many pets were adopted around the holidays?
During the month of December, we placed 93 dogs, 183 cats and 79 "other" [animals] — rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, exotic pets.
Do you worry about pets being returned after the holidays?
We've never seen that here. We've always seen the holiday season as a good time to adopt. We really trust our staff to make good matches. Year-round, we always tell people that a good time to adopt is when you have time. The holiday season can be great.
You started a new "adoption boutique" for placing pets at the Hillsdale Shopping Center. What is that?
It's an actual storefront. We were given that opportunity by Hillsdale in September and have been staffing that weekends only — Friday, Saturday and Sunday — and we'll be there at least through the end of January.

35 comfortable and contemporary bedrooms spread between two buildings, including 16 newly refurbished rooms in Dunstane House – each uniquely styled to balance timeless tradition and modern comfort.
Turn up the passion with a heart stirring romantic Edinburgh break, not just for Valentines…for any time of year.
Best rates, complimentary champagne in suites, and free upgrades. It pays to book the Dunstane Houses direct.
Edinburgh's trees are turning red and gold and the Ba' Bar fireside has never been so appealing. Stay longer for free with our autumn breaks when you book a three night stay or more.
Our laid-back all-day dining lounge and bar offers a seasonally changing menu of Modern Scottish dishes and one of the widest selections of premium craft spirits in Edinburgh.
Here's the plan: rendezvous at the Dunstane for a vintage two night package; we'll hook you up with our good friends from Mini Mack Tours, and they'll whisk you off in their motors for a two-hour tour of Edinburgh….
It's true. You could spend Christmas at home, stressing over turkey-cooking times and cowering at the foot of Mount Washing-Up. Or you could do it the Dunstane way and experience the magic of Edinburgh in full festive swing.
The Dunstane Houses isn't just a place to stay; it's your gateway to a host of exclusive experiences, from off-the-beaten track tours to Highland adventures. Take a look…
The spirit of Orkney, the heart of Edinburgh…. Refined, relaxed, a little romantic and a lot luxurious, the Dunstane Houses – Dunstane House and Hampton House – are a pair of independent, family-run, four- and five-star boutique hotels that offer guests the best of the Scottish capital. Set in two heritage buildings quite unlike anywhere you've ever stayed before, the Dunstane Houses are a breath of fresh Orkney air in the heart of Edinburgh.
35 comfortable and contemporary bedrooms spread between two buildings, including 16 newly refurbished rooms in Dunstane House – each uniquely styled to balance timeless tradition and modern comfort.
Enjoy the finest seasonal Scottish produce at all-day dining room and lounge, the Ba' Bar – home to one of the widest and best selections of rare and vintage whiskies in Edinburgh.
Characterful, evocative interiors, inspired by the neoclassical design of old-town Edinburgh, the Dunstane Houses' rich history, and our own Orcadian roots.
The Dunstane Houses have stood at the gateway to old-town Edinburgh since the 1860's. Variously occupied by merchants, musicians, doctors, distillers, bankers and newspapermen over the last 150 years, they have witnessed the evolution of modern-day Edinburgh. Today, these historic buildings form two halves of a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel: a relaxing, contemporary sanctuary that blends the story of the capital with the Orkney roots of its owners – a stylish and welcoming city retreat with an authentic Scottish soul.

The Legend of Godsbane
Home Page
The Might of the Thrym is ever growing….
500 years ago: From the frozen far north, beyond the civilized lands with their rolling hills and forests, arose a mighty army of frost giants, ice devils, Hellfrost dragons, and fearsome orcs, servants all of the ice god Thrym. So began the terrible Blizzard War and the downfall of the mighty empires of man
Today: The races of the southern lands may have won the war, but they suffer its legacy still. For five centuries the winters have grown steadily longer and colder. Huge swathes of the land of Rassilon are permanently covered in ice and snow, and even the temperate lands are not spared the misery of failed harvests, deadly winters, and the dreaded Hellfrost wind.
But winter is not the only danger. A mere 30 years ago, magic, once the civilized races' most potent weapon, suddenly began to fail. The Siphoning, an effect of unknown origin, has made magic an unpredictable ally.
Myth and Legend:
In a land where the cold is ever encroaching and the lands history is only recorded by a select few, legends and myths rise from the old wives tales, war stories and children's tales passed down from generation to generation.
And there is one such tale out there about an ancient weapon able to topple even the gods themselves, hidden away forgotten by the passing ages ever waiting for the right person to come by and find it.
Many a man and woman have searched for it only to find their own folly and doom.
The Tale Of Godsbane:
Before time was set and the world was breathing there was a war for control a god war that shook the very fabric of the universe, the gods were fighting each other for control in a titanic struggle that eventually engulfed many lives of the gods.
The struggle for survival became too much for the gods on their own so the gods who shared aspects bonded together to become one entity, with the gods now fewer in numbers they formed a truce so that no conflict like this could ever happen again.
However the gods saw fit to create a weapon so powerful it could kill a god should the need arise if the truce was ever broken, each of their essence itself was bonded to it making it able to strike down any of the gods. The weapon was cast into the world buried deep in the earth to never be used or found and is ever waiting until the day of its calling.
Fear the bane of gods you must for it is a cautionary tale of a folly even the gods were capable.

Hi, I'm Andy, the "Magic Man" Segal. I'm here at Willow Billiards in Hoboken New Jersey doing some trick shots and pool instruction. So if you're ready, lets get started. All right, so now sometimes you want to kick one rail. Like in this case, I would kick off this rail, but lets say I didn't want to go that way. Lets say there was a ball blocking my path. So now I'm going to want to go two rails. So I'm going to go 1, 2 into the 14. Now how do you judge that? Now this is a very simple system. What you do is you take the line between the Q ball and the 14 taken midpoint, okay. Go directly at the corner pocket that you're going to go around. And then just shift the Q stick with the same angle. So this line here shifts over to this line here, and you hit the Q ball with running English. In this case, the Q ball's going around the left, that's why we're hitting left English, and I hit right into the 14. Now there's another system if you have a ball hanging in a pocket. Lets say I have the Q ball here for example, okay, and I'm blocked. The only thing you have to remember is that this diamond here on the short rail, just remember the number 3. If I aim directly at that diamond with running English, in this case it would be right English, okay, the Q ball's going to start at this diamond here, this line from that diamond to this diamond, okay. I have to remember the number 3 1, 2, 3. So that line takes me three diamonds down from where I started and makes the 15. Now of course I may not be on that line. This is 3, every half is 4, that's 4, that's 5, that's 6. So here's 4. This is 4. So if I take this line, this is 3, this is 4, so the Q ball is lined up from 4 all the way to here. 1, 2, 3, 4, that should take you right into the ball. And so on. So if you remember 3, just go every half of another number, that should help guide your two-rail kick.

As part of the Co-mission network we hold to the Co-Mission statement of faith.
[column col="1/2″]
Put simply, we are:
An Evangelical Church
We're committed to God's word. What we believe and what we teach is governed by our understanding of the Bible. What God says in scripture shapes our church life, sets our agenda and drives our priorities. And so we aim to help everyone understand what the Bible says. We make sure that our sermons are accessible to those who are completely new to Christian things as well as feeding those who are more familiar with God's word.
A Relational Church
We're committed to God's people. Christianity is collective. It's not meant to be a lone crusade. We need one another for encouragement, support and accountability. And so aim to be a church that loves God's people sacrificially by offering practical service to anyone among us in need, whether new mums needing meals, lonely or sick people needing a visit or the discouraged needing reassurance.
A Missional Church
We're committed to God's world. We don't simply want to be a church that sends out missionaries across the world to the nations. We want also to send out missionaries across the street to our neighbourhoods. And so we aim to be a church that shows holy and respectful love towards everyone in our community. We are devoted to doing whatever is good, especially in explaining the gospel of God's love.
[column col="1/2″]
More officially
We hold to the orthodox doctrine of the great early Councils of the Church, the 39 Articles of Religion and the Book of Common Prayer and Ordinal of the Church of England, and the contemporary Jerusalem Declaration of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans; central to which is Article 6 of the 39 Articles, "Holy Scripture contains all things necessary for salvation. Consequently whatever is not read in Scripture nor can be proved from Scripture cannot be demanded from any person to believe it as an article of the faith. Nor is any such thing to be thought necessary or required for salvation".

Baker Peak - 10,174
Baker Lake from an upper ridge of Backdrop Peak (Peak 10099).
Trip Report (8/3/2002):
Here is my trip report for Baker Peak and Backdrop Peak in the Smoky Mountains of south-central Idaho.
For my wife's first backpacking trip, I decided I would take her to Baker Lake north of Ketchum. The hike in is only 2 miles, so if things didn't go well, we could bail relatively harmlessly.
Things did go well, and we spent 3 days and 2 nights at the lake. On Saturday, I climbed Baker Peak and on Sunday I did Backdrop Peak, which sits directly west of Baker Lake.
The climb of Baker Peak was very pleasant. I crossed over a ridge south of Baker Lake and then angled southwest towards the saddle north of Baker Peak. Supposedly there used to be a trail in this area, but I saw none until just below the saddle. Once at the saddle, I followed the ridge south to the top. On top is a great view, a large cairn, and a register in a mason jar.
On Sunday, I climbed up Backdrop Peak. Backdrop Peak is the very menancing looking mountain that dominates Baker Lake. I got that name for it from several locals I spoke with... seems to make sense too. For this peak, I worked my way up the southeast ridge that starts just south of Baker Lake. In a few spots, this ridge gets a little narrow, but is manageable, with the option of class 2 climbing if you drop off the ridge a little ways. Just follow the ridge up to the point where it meets the summit ridge, then head due west. On this summit is a cairn, but no register. Like Baker Peak, an excellent 360 degree view is available. I spoke with my father on a cell phone for quite awhile before descending the northeast ridge (much less steep and better terrain than the southeast ridge) down to the lake.
Getting There:
From Ketchum, drive north for 16 miles on ID-75. Turn left at the signed Baker Creek Road. Follow the road to its end at the Baker Lake trailhead. Plenty of parking is available at the trailhead.

Topic: Labor (Labor policy)
Keywords: workforce partnerships; workforce intermedaries; low-wage workers
Type: Report
Including a guidebook and four user-friendly manuals, this series from Workforce Innovation Networks--WINs--shows how organizations can play a unique and important role in advancing the employer side of the nation's workforce equation. The guidebook and manuals provide clear information and guidance on replicating the successful practices learned throughout the course of the 10-year WINs partnership.
WINs is a partnership of the Center for Workforce Success, the nonprofit education and training arm of the National Association of Manufacturers; Manufacturing Institute; the Institute for a Competitive Workforce, a nonprofit affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and Jobs for the Future, a Boston-based national nonprofit working on education and workforce development.
From 1997 through 2007, WINs collaborated with local and state employer organizations on the cutting edge of workforce development. WINs showed how these organizations, acting as workforce intermediaries, can achieve a dual goal: meeting the needs of their businesses for employees at the entry-level and above; and improving the economic prospects of disadvantaged job seekers and workers.

Why TV is dangerous
OK, so that might be a stretch, but I really did see them replace some counter tops with granite for around $400 once and while it wasn't a huge kitchen it was big enough that no one outside of the industry would be able to get that kind of price legally.
Anyway, when I watch these kinds of shows, I tend to get ideas, and then I think - hey, I can do that! But about the time I start making sketches and lists for the hardware store, I realize that I actually do NOT have a crew of strong, helpful men who will do the grunt work (I do have a strong, occaisionally helpful man and a small, very helpful man, but I digress), a carpenter set up in the backyard at my beck and call, and someone to sew the huge sizes of fabrics that window treatments entail. (Yes, I can sew, but one of my biggest pet peeves at the sewing machine is wrestling with large pieces of fabric. It's fiddly and irritating to me.)
They should have a disclaimer at the start of these shows, kinda like the "What you are about to see is done by professionals, please do not try this at home without the consent of your doctor" type of things. Maybe something along the lines of "We realize you can probably do this at home, but you don't have our work crew, our access to ridiculous prices, or the actual intestinal fortitude to tear down and rebuild your house over the weekend, so put down that sledgehammer and plop yourself on the sofa with a mug of hot cocoa and watch us work." I'm just saying.

Putin: West trying to defang Russian bear
Vowing never to let the West defang his proud nation, President Vladimir Putin promised Thursday to fix Russia's economic woes within two years by diversifying and voiced confidence that the plummeting ruble will soon recover.
In a live, three-hour news conference that has become a Putin holiday tradition, the Russian leader demonstrated unwavering confidence in his domestic policies despite the catastrophic collapse in the ruble. His fierce defiance toward the United States flared throughout as he insisted the West was trying to destroy Russia to grab Siberia's great natural resources.
This year, Putin held his televised extravaganza from a particularly strong vantage point: An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released Thursday showed his approval rating among Russians stood at 81 per cent - a level far above the ratings for other world leaders.
Putin accompanied his message with trademark images of Russian pride, with video showing him surrounded by Sochi Olympic athletes, petting a baby tiger and greeting Russian cosmonauts. And his most stirring quotes evoked a famed Russian symbol - the bear.
In his speech, the man who has led Russia for 15 years sought to soothe market fears that the government could use administrative controls, such as fixing the ruble's rate or obliging exporters to sell hard currency, to help stabilise the battered currency.
Putin said the nation's hard currency reserves are sufficient to keep the economy stable, adding the Central Bank should not aimlessly "burn" its $419 billion in reserves.
"Our economy will overcome the current situation. How much time will be needed for that? Under the most unfavourable circumstances, I think it will take about two years," he said.
Putin also acknowledged that Western economic sanctions over Moscow's actions in Ukraine were just one factor behind Russia's economic crisis, estimating they accounted for roughly 25 to 30 per cent of the ruble's troubles. He said a key reason for the currency's fall was Russia's failure to ease its overwhelming dependence on oil and gas exports.
After Putin finished his performance, the Russian currency traded at 60 rubles to the dollar late Thursday, the same level as Wednesday. Still, the currency has lost about half its value since January.
Russia's benchmark MICEX index rallied 4.3 per cent by late afternoon Thursday, but consumers voted with their feet, buying cars, electronics and home appliances in a desperate attempt to protect their savings before prices go up.
Audi was the latest major company to suspend deliveries in Russia amid the ruble's turmoil. Apple halted online sales earlier this week.
Defiant note
Putin struck a defiant note against the United States and the 28-nation European Union, saying the sanctions they slapped on Russia after it seized the Black Sea region of Crimea in March were part of a historical campaign to weaken Russia. He accused the West of trying to infringe on Russia's sovereignty, saying the Ukrainian crisis was just a pretext for Western action.
To get his point across, he brought in the metaphorical Russian bear.
"Sometimes I think, maybe it would be better for our bear to sit quiet, rather than chasing around the forest after piglets. To sit eating berries and honey instead. Maybe they will leave it in peace," said Putin. "They will not. Because they will always try to put him on a chain, and as soon as they succeed in doing so they tear out his fangs and his claws."
By fangs and claws, Putin said he meant Russia's nuclear weapons, which are protecting its valuable natural resources.
"Once they've taken out his claws and his fangs, then the bear is no longer necessary. He'll become a stuffed animal," he said. "The issue is not Crimea. The issue is that we are protecting our sovereignty and our right to exist."
Putin urged a political solution for the crisis in Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents have been battling Ukrainian government troops since April, leaving more than 4,700 people dead.
He said Ukraine must remain one political entity, meaning that its pro-Russian, rebellious eastern regions should not break away. He also suggested the two sides hold a prisoner swap before Christmas.
Yet, he defended Russia's increased military activities, including stepped-up Russian military flights in the Baltics that NATO says are putting civilian flights at risk, as a necessary response to what he described as aggressive Western action.
"We aren't on the offensive, we aren't attacking anyone, we are only defending our interests," he said.
Putin said he was sure that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sincerely wanted a peaceful solution to the crisis but other forces in Ukraine don't. He urged the Ukrainian government to grant amnesty to the rebels and offer broad rights to eastern residents.
Putin said Russia wants to have normal economic and security ties with the West but wants to cooperate on equal terms.
In Brussels, the EU beefed up its sanctions against Russia with a ban Thursday on investment in Crimea and other economic penalties, including measures aimed at keeping tourists away.
Beginning Saturday, Europeans and EU-based companies cannot buy real estate or businesses in Crimea, finance Crimean companies or supply services. EU operators will no longer be allowed to offer tourism services to Crimea's Black Sea beaches or other destinations. Cruise ships owned by any EU-based companies or flying an EU member state's flag will also no longer be allowed to call at Sevastopol or other Crimean ports except in an emergency.
Despite his strong rhetoric, Putin still held out hope for normalising ties with the West, saying Russia stands ready to expand its gas supplies to southern Europe using a prospective hub on Turkey's border.

Grade 8 Program (GR8)
Growing Responsibility Program
The GR8 (pronounced 'great') – Growing Responsibility – Program has been offered to local grade-eight students since 2012.
GR8 was developed by Brantford Police Service Constable Philip Minotti, with assistance from Constable Charmaine Pelletier and Constable Keli Corpse, all former elementary school resource officers. Like the K.I.D.S. Program, Constable Rebecca Seibert currently delivers GR8 education.
We are proud to recognize T.I.C.K. Board member, Lori Henderson, a retired elementary school principal, who conceived the program's unique name – GR8-Growing Responsibility.
Designed to enhance students' skills and knowledge, GR8's curriculum prepares youth for new challenges as they progress into high school. During the four-week program, delivered in one-hour sessions, students learn about the following topics:
Consequences of Addiction – the effects that drugs have on your body and how to recognize if a friend is experimenting with drugs
Youth Criminal Justice Act – common offences youth commit and how a criminal record can affect your future
Harassment – on-line and social media awareness and cyber-bullying
How to Make Healthy Choices – (final lesson) students are given scenarios after which the pros and cons for each situation are discussed.

Air strike kills children as Syrian war rages
Shelling and air raids killed dozens of Syrian civilians, including children, a watchdog said, while rebels and loyalists fought close-quarter battles in Aleppo's main souk.world Updated: Oct 02, 2012 07:58 IST
Shelling and air raids killed dozens of Syrian civilians, including children, on Monday, a watchdog said, while rebels and loyalists fought close-quarter battles in Aleppo's main souk.
In New York, UN chief Ban Ki-moon urged Damascus to show compassion to its people, as Syrian foreign minister Walid Muallem said a political solution was still possible if the West and Gulf states halted support for the rebels.
Muallem also dismissed the concerns Washington has about the security of Syria's chemical weapons, branding them as a ploy to prepare the ground for an invasion, as he said had happened in Iraq.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said an air strike on the town of Salqeen in the mainly rebel-held province of Idlib bordering Turkey had killed 21 people, including eight children.
At least 18 soldiers were killed in Homs province of central Syria in a rebel ambush and bombing of their convoy on the Damascus-Palmyra highway, the Britain-based watchdog also said.
In a video released by activists from Salqeen, a number of the apparent air strike victims are seen piled in the back of a pick-up truck, their bodies charred black with limbs torn off.
The Observatory also reported shelling in the provinces of Hama, Daraa and Homs.
The group, which collates information from a network of activists and medics on the ground, gave a toll of about 160 people, including 112 civilians, killed in violence across Syria on Monday.
In Aleppo, an AFP correspondent said rebels and regular soldiers traded fierce machinegun fire in and around the historic souk, which reverberated across the centuries-old UNESCO-listed covered market.
The fighting, which took place in an area of the souk facing Aleppo's ancient citadel, came after parts of the market were ravaged by a fire, sparked by fighting, on Friday night and Saturday.
Traders told AFP that the army had no presence inside the souk area, which has been infiltrated by rebels.
The regime and rebels blamed each other for damage to the souk.
"Armed terrorists started the fire in order to cover up for their looting and theft in the market," Aleppo governor Wahid Akkad told an AFP journalist in the city.
However, video posted on YouTube by activists showed rebel fighters trying to put out the fire with a water hose. "We are certain that it was regime fire that started the flames," an anti-regime citizen journalist told AFP.
'Show compassion'
As the fighting raged, Ban said after a meeting with Syria's Muallem at UN headquarters in New York that it was time for Damascus to lower the scale of its offensive against the insurgency.
"He stressed that it was the Syrian people who were being killed every day and appealed to the government of Syria to show compassion to its own people," a spokesman for the UN secretary general said.
Ban "raised in the strongest terms the continued killings, massive destruction, human rights abuses, and aerial and artillery attacks committed by the government," the spokesman said.
Muallem, meanwhile, addressing the UN General Assembly, said France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United States "clearly induce and support terrorism in Syria with money, weapons and foreign fighters."
President Bashar al-Assad was open to reforms if the violence stopped, the foreign minister said. "We still believe in a political solution as an essential way out of the crisis."
For this to happen, he said UN members should press for an end to the "arming, financing, harbouring and training of terrorist groups."
In an interview with Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV, Muallem accused the United States of seeking a pretext to attack Syria, comparing the tactic to those that preceded the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
"This issue is an invention of the American administration," Muallem said.
"These chemical weapons in Syria, if they exist - and I emphasise 'if' - how is it possible that we would use them against our own people? It's a joke," he told the staunchly anti-American and anti-Israeli channel.
"It is a myth they invented to launch a campaign against Syria like they did in Iraq," he said.
A US-led coalition invaded Iraq in March 2003, accusing Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons were ever found.
But Ban also warned Syria against using chemical weapons.
"The use of such weapons would be an outrageous crime with dire consequences," he said.
"Chemical weapons simply have no place in the 21st century."
Syria and seven other nations still had not signed the convention, the UN chief noted.
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, also in New York for the UN General Assembly, said Tehran could not support any country - including ally Syria - that used such weapons.
Iran suffered from Iraqi use of chemical weapons during the countries' 1980-1988 war.
Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Monday that Syria's chemical weapon stockpiles were a "great concern" but the solution to the conflict remained political, not military.
At least 30,000 people, including more than 2,000 children, have died in the conflict since it erupted in March 2011, according to figures supplied by the Observatory.

A small child started crying after apparently losing at the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll today. President Obama was there to console him.
"There, there, it's okay," Obama probably said. "I lost a race to Bobby Rush once, but after that I never lost again, not even to Hillary."
"What?" the child replied, choking back his tears. "I don't understand."
"Never mind, just hug me. There are a million photographers over here. Attaboy."

Two of the world's largest smartphone and Tablet PC distributors, Apple Inc. and Samsung have been filing cases against each other regarding patent issues. Each claims that they invented this technology first or the other one is just copying this and that. Lawsuits anywhere in the globe have been filed halting each other's marketing. No one really knows when will this end.
At least in Europe, Apple emerged victorious when they won an injunction in a Dutch court to stop Samsung Electronics from marketing three smartphone models in some European countries after alleging a breach of patents. That's in Europe though, and doesn't cover all countries in Europe for the record. Of course Samsung will not accept defeat that easy though and a counter charge is then expected. That's not all, these lawsuits has been filed in Asia, USA and other places, almost covering the entire world. All these for the top spot that everyone has been longing.
On other side of the issue, what will these things bring to mankind? After all, they are the end users of their products. If they keep on pulling each other down, who then be providing gadgets to everyone? How can there be room for innovations and new discoveries if they keep themselves busy proving that their the best? I hope leading manufacturers would be able to think about it.

So I put everything back to their original positions and took it to Office Depot for their free PC checkup, and somehow they got it to work again, which was weird since, aside from my computer being slow due to the small amount of memory it has (256 MB), they claimed there was nothing weird. Although while they were checking it, it reset by itself a couple of times, but they said it's just because I needed to clear up some space on my hard drive.
So now that I've gotten it back, I've noticed that even though I freed up some space, my computer would still reset by itself at random times. And in recovering from the reset, when I enter my admin account, it tells me that the system has just recovered from a serious error. The error report that it generates includes two files with the last part of the file names labeled
I've tried running my antivirus program, but my system keeps resetting before it fully completes the scan. Although, the longest scan it performed before resetting yielded no apparent viruses.
Could anyone help me to figure out what's wrong?
Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but I can't even get that windows update to stay, each time it said it completed successfully, the next time I booted up my system, it would tell me that there's still a windows update to download.

|Nutritional Guidelines (per serving)
Traditionally, this warming Cantonese soup is prepared in the same way as "Chicken Velvet" by chopping the meat or seafood into small pieces and mixing it with egg whites, liquid, and cornstarch. This recipe for cream corn soup is much simpler – the cornstarch and water mixture is used as a thickener, and the egg whites are streamed into the hot broth before serving, just like in egg drop soup. White pepper, green onions, and Asian sesame oil add extra flavor to the broth.
- 5 cups homemade chicken stock or store-bought chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cups canned creamed corn
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Black or white pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 3/4 cup cooked crabmeat or cooked diced ham
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil, or to taste
- 2 green onions (spring onions), finely chopped for garnish, optional
Steps to Make It
Bring the broth or stock to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the creamed corn and bring back to a boil (about 3 minutes).
Stir in the salt, sugar, white pepper, rice wine or sherry and cooked crabmeat. Cook for about 2 minutes to bring back to a boil again.
Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick re-stir, and then pour into the boiling soup, stirring to thicken. When the soup has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Pour the egg whites into the soup in a steady stream, and quickly stir in a clockwise direction until they form thin shreds.
Add the sesame oil and the green onions for garnish if using.

When Memorial Day Airline Tickets Are Cheapest
Looking to get away for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend? If so, you better act soon.
Data from Travelocity show that today through Wednesday, April 18, represents one of two windows of opportunity for travelers to grab the best prices on airfares for the holiday weekend.
This content was originally published on InvestorPlace.
According to "The Travelocity Travel Booking Barometer for Memorial Day," the average round-trip airfare for Memorial Day travel booked over the next three days will be about $299. Potential travelers who act fast can lock in good prices before more travelers begin to book their seats with major carriers and prices rise.
"The Travelocity Travel Booking Barometer for Memorial Day suggests that the price to beat for Memorial Day weekend flights is right around $300 round-trip," said Courtney Scott, Travelocity's senior editor, in a statement. "And the good news for travelers is that there is still time to score a deal on flights for Memorial Day weekend, but time is running out."
The Travelocity Barometer is based on a review of airfare bookings over the Memorial Day weekend from 2007 through 2011. The barometer analyzes changes in airfare prices during the weeks prior to the holiday.
According to Travelocity, airplane tickets purchased six weeks in advance of Memorial Day cost less than tickets purchased seven weeks or more prior to the holiday. The privately held company says that airplane ticket prices spike significantly within two weeks of the holiday, rising to an average of $353 round-trip a week before.
If you can't make your arrangement in the next two days, don't worry. Travelocity says a second window for the best prices opens on April 26 and extends through May 2. During this second window, the average round trip airfare scheduled for the Memorial Day weekend will dip to $298.
You can find the Memorial Day Travel Pricing Barometer at Travelocity's consumer travel website, The Window Seat.

The Hollywood Reporter recently interviewed Oscar winner James Cameron about his next project, Avatar, the director's long-in-development and highly anticipated return to feature filmmaking.
Cameron spoke with the trade about the HD 3-D digital camera rig he spent six years developing for Avatar with Vince Pace, as well as about casting and the special effects process he will employ for the film.
"It's a very, very big project where the shooting is like a month and a half &#Array; not really very much," Cameron informed THR. "There's just so much CG, and the visual effects are a huge component. A lot of it is performance capture."
Performance capture &#Array; where a CG character is animated over an actor's filmed performance &#Array; can be seen in The Polar Express and in next week's Monster House.
As for casting, Cameron said, "We're not looking at anyone, we're looking at everyone. There are a number of characters that we can cast from that up-and-coming talent pool. They're not going to be well-known names &#Array; until after the movie, hopefully."
For much more of what Cameron had to say, check out HollywoodReporter.com's Film Reporter column.
Avatar, a.k.a. Project 880, will begin filming next February in Los Angeles for a summer '08 release. It will be released by 20th Century Fox.
