LONDON • Arsene Wenger blamed poor finishing for the goalless draw with Southampton on Tuesday that leaves Arsenal five points off the top of the Premier League table.
Fraser Forster took the headlines for a brilliant display of goalkeeping as Southampton weathered a second-half flurry of chances, but Wenger was left feeling "maximum frustration" by his team's meekness in front of goal.
He was also angry at the performance of the referee, Lee Mason, whom he reportedly confronted in the tunnel after the final whistle, before exchanging angry words with his counterpart Ronald Koeman.
The Frenchman reportedly complained to Mason: "It's always the same with you."
Koeman, however, saw the exchange and intervened, telling Wenger: "And it's always the same with you. You had 10 chances to score and couldn't take any of them, so why have a go at them?"
Arsenal have now gone 270 minutes and taken 34 shots at goal in the Premier League without scoring. But Wenger again maintained there was simply no opportunity to add a top-class striker to his squad in the transfer window, which closed on Monday.
Arsenal have gone three league games without a goal for the first time since February 2009.
Arsenal had 10 shots on target without scoring on Tuesday, the joint most in a Premier League game this season.
The number of points the Gunners have dropped in their last four league games.
"If you know a world-class striker who could strengthen our team you should have told me before the transfer window was over," he said.
"We produced quite a good performance in the second half and created 10 good chances. The performance we wanted was there but we can't be happy with the way we finished our chances. That is what is disappointing.
"If you could not create a chance you feel concerned, but we had 70 per cent possession and 22 shots on goal. Finishing is a bit cyclical and right now it is very down."
As they had at Stoke last month, Arsenal came up against a young English goalkeeper in superb form as Forster produced a succession of fine saves and dominated his area.
Gunners midfielder Mesut Oezil squandered two close-range opportunities in the first half, while replacement Theo Walcott was held out by a spectacular double-save from Forster after the break.
Before the goalkeeper's return from a serious knee injury, the Saints had lost eight of 10 games in all competitions, conceding 19 goals. But the England international has since kept four straight clean sheets in the league and Koeman was quick to praise the 27-year-old.
"He is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and maybe one of the best in Europe," said the Dutchman, adding that Forster's performances have been "unbelievable after nine months out".
Arsenal travel to relegation-threatened Bournemouth on Sunday knowing that they have to beat former Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
A four-game winless streak in the league has seen the London side slip to fourth in the table after Tottenham Hotspur's 3-0 victory over Norwich City took Mauricio Pochettino's men ahead of the Gunners on goal difference.
"We have to catch that back and we have a difficult programme, especially away from home," Wenger told the club's website, with a home tie against leaders Leicester City and trips to Old Trafford and White Hart Lane looming.
"We need to respond quickly away from home now."

Like any other evening, I sat down on my couch in front of my TV, grabbed my game controller, pressed the guide button to power my XBox 360, and prepared to immerse myself into gaming goodness. But instead of hearing the familiar start-up jingle, I was greeted with a grinding internal whine from the system, a message on my TV screen, and a blinking red light on the front of my console. My heart stopped, if only for a moment.
Distressed, I shut the system down and turned it on again with hopes that maybe, just maybe, it was a fluke. I reassured myself, "I'll turn it back on, the system will have reset, and everything will be okay." Instead, a callous message washed across the TV screen: "System Error E74." While not the now infamous "Red Ring of Death" (RROD) that roughly means "you're system broke…for some reason," it might as well have been. My system had stopped working and I was devastated.
"Please contact Microsoft for assistance." Reluctant to accept what had just happened, I called the number provided within the text. Tech support greets me, and begins to guide me through a brief triage of troubleshooting techniques to determine if in fact my system truly is damaged, and if so at what severity. A few minutes and a few tests later, the assistant informs me that repairs will be needed. I sigh and glare down acceptance.
A few days later, a box from Microsoft arrives via UPS to ship it back; a paper coffin, complete with a nice plastic suit and comfy Styrofoam shoes and hat. I meticulously prepped and packaged my 360 and, like a pallbearer, carried it to the local UPS Store for shipping. Despite my directed discretion from XBox tech support to abstain divulging the contents of the box, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a slightly-smug "Ah, an XBox, I see. Yeah, we ship about five to seven of these a day." Sorry Microsoft, but they know what's inside.
I bid farewell to my system as we parted for the approximately anticipated 5 weeks before I would see it again. During that time, Microsoft would keep me up-to-date on it's whereabouts via a tracking number. Once received, I expected periodic e-mail updates pertaining to the repair status. I was an anxious hospital patient, waiting to hear if it was a terminal disease, or just an itchy rash.
Three weeks pass, and I receive the news: my system has been repaired, and a follow-up e-mail with the shipping number is to follow. I smiled with relief, and waited for the last e-mail. My baby would be home soon. Perhaps I should plan a small homecoming party?
However, I never received that e-mail or the tracking number. Several days went by as my nerves were tested, until finally a wonderful surprise greeted me at my door; my XBox 360 was home. Here it was, safe and sound, and nearly a week and a half sooner that I had expected. I opened the box, removed my 360, and gave it a visual once-over to see how the trip faired. Taped to one side was a 1-month gold-membership for XBox Live to compensate for the month I had missed mowing down friends and complete strangers on Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4.
Giddy, I immediately ran downstairs with 360 in tow, and placed my system back where it belonged on my entertainment center. I then made myself comfortable on the couch, grabbed my controller, and once again prepared for an evening of gaming goodness.
So why am I sharing such an obviously sad story of excessive nerd-love with my console?
Since it's release on November 22 of 2005, there have been an unprecedented number of faulty systems, largely caused by the RROD. So many in fact, Microsoft has never released an official number for the rate of failures, whether to conceal the truth from consumers or because they are just plain embarrassed. However, through various press releases, it's widely believed to be around 50%; well above the industry accepted rate of failure of 3-5%.
But I'm not here to chastise Microsoft for what they had done, but to illustrate and commend Microsoft for doing their best to make things right. While the RROD was not the cause of my system to fail, I know others gamers have been or someday may be afflicted with this or any of the other possible technical issues that seem to lurk within many XBox 360 consoles like a heart attack waiting to happen. Hopefully this story will reassure future victims of the flashing red lights. Take solace knowing that my problem was handled quickly, professionally, and I was very pleased with the end result.
So thank you, Microsoft. Any big company that admits their mistakes and does their best to rectify the problems deserves the benefit of a doubt. While I was upset at first, you have proven to me that you are a company that doesn't ignore your faults. You accepted them and made them right by me. I am impressed. Even if contractual warranties and multiple class-action lawsuits enforce them to do so.
Now go fix Vista.

Fire the Mineapolis Chief of Police
Today I had the honor of preparing and reading the opening statement for our press conference, in the Minneapolis City Hall rotunda, in front of the Father of Waters statue. Three Green Party and three allied candidates participated in the press conference. After I spoke, the candidates spoke in the following order:
Dave Bicking (Green) City Council Ward 9
Al Flowers (DFL) Mayor
Jeanine Estimé (Green) City Council Ward 8
Michael Cavlan (Independent) City Council Ward 8
Andy Exley (Green) City Council Ward 6
Brent Perry (Socialist Action) City Council Ward 12
After the press conference, we walked down the hall for the official candidate filing process.
Below is the text of my statement, followed by city council and CUAPB concerns, followed by a supporting timeline with links to sources.
Monday, July 20, 2009
11:30 am
Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda
350 South Fifth Street
Members of the media, supporters, interested observers:
We welcome you, and thank you for attending this joint announcement by candidates for Minneapolis local offices, mostly city council. This is a multi-partisan event. I'm Tom Cleland, and I serve on the Steering Committee of the Fifth Congressional District Green Party. We are here, united, on a number of issues. One of those issues is police accountability and opposition to the appointment of Timothy Dolan as Chief of Police. Dolan's term expires January 4, 2010, so this is an important issue before the council. The next council will also decide whether to reappoint for the term which expires three years later.
We hold the current council responsible for appointing Dolan to the term which began three years ago, and we call on our opponents to go on record regarding the possible reappointment of Dolan next year. The Chief of Police sets the tone for the conduct of the department, and we are appalled by what we have seen.
There are many examples of police misconduct we'd like to discuss over the course of the campaign, and today I want to start by talking about the case of Fong Lee, because many people are familiar with it, and because it illustrates the problem on multiple levels, from the police officer, to the police chief, to the city council. Fong Lee was shot and killed July 22, 2006, nearly three years ago, by a Minneapolis police officer.
Last month, on June 15, Jason Andersen, the cop who shot Fong Lee, was arrested for domestic assault. Channel 11 reported that the woman involved suffered some injuries. We don't know what will become of that case, but we do know that in the Fong Lee case, Andersen contradicted his own testimony. As reported on Channel 9 a few months ago, Andersen said Lee, while laying on his back raised the gun up, but later Andersen said the gun fell three feet away. Which is it? Which is it?
Mark Robbins, the Mankato law enforcement expert in the Channel 9 report, thought that Lee's wounds were consistent with a defensive reaction. Lee had blood in his right palm, and a bullet wound between the third and fourth fingers of the left hand, in a slightly upward direction. His left arm and hand were full of blood.
Anderson got off on May 28, 2009. MPR reported the verdict was announced before Lee's family could get back to the courtroom to hear it in person. Attorney Jim Moore convinced the all-white jury that Andersen believed his life was in danger when he shot Lee 3 times from behind and 5 more times while he was on the ground.
Look at the security video frame by frame. In and around Lee's hands, sometimes you see shadows, sometimes you see nothing. Moore asserted that the security camera had poor resolution.
If that's the case, then why did Police Chief Dolan present Andersen with the Medal of Valor? We know the police had the video, according to a StarTribune article three days after the shooting, the same day Dolan allowed Andersen to come back to work. How could Dolan be so sure this cop was a hero? What kind of message does this send to the city, and especially the Hmong community? The medal was awarded July 28, 2008, nearly one year ago, and is documented on the city's web site.
When the city council appointed Dolan on October 20, 2006, the Fong Lee shooting had already taken place three months earlier, and Dolan had already begun serving as Interim Police Chief six months earlier. They couldn't have known that Dolan would present Andersen with the Medal of Valor, but they did know that Dolan had returned Andersen to work three days after the shooting, before an internal investigation by the police department could be completed.
In a memo dated September 25, 2006 and reprinted in the StarTribune, three council members shared 8 concerns about Dolan with Mayor R.T. Rybak. One of the concerns was, QUOTE Returning Officer Andersen to the street before the investigation was complete or the community's concerns had been assuaged. UNQUOTE
In a memo of his own, Rybak replied, QUOTE With regard to keeping an officer on administrative leave until an investigation is complete, I believe the Chief of Police must retain discretion to make decisions on all discipline issues. UNQUOTE
Well, if the mayor wants to grant discretion to the Chief, then he has to take responsibility for what the Chief does. And the City Council has to take responsibility for going along with the mayor. Because they all voted to appoint Dolan, all except Remington.
This is how a killer cop gets put back out on the streets.
Chapter 6, Section 1 of the City Code Charter states that the mayor QUOTE may make all needful rules and regulations for the efficiency and discipline UNQUOTE of the city police force. If there are loopholes that disrupt accountability in city government, then they need to be fixed. What we have now has all the appearances of a wink and a nod to police thuggery.
The council should have known better. In their October 7 newsletter, Communities United Against Police Brutality, CUAPB, listed 7 warnings about Dolan, including his involvement in awarding an earlier Medal of Valor, to Dan May, as reported in City Pages in January 2006. Dan May is the cop who shot Tycel Nelson in the back in 1990.
The council also heard testimony from Dave Bicking, currently running for Ward 9, who said, QUOTE Dolan represents the status quo for the Minneapolis Police Department, and the status quo is simply not acceptable…There is case after case of police brutality with no discipline of those involved… The taxpayer is forced to step up and take responsibility, in the form of millions of dollars of lawsuit settlements… YOU have the power to approve the new police chief. And you can insist of any candidate for the position that he or she commit to issuing discipline in sustained cases from the CRA [Civilian Review Authority]… Acting Chief Dolan has shown by his record that he opposes this, and…has stated that he feels the need to exercise his own judgement in these cases… USE your authority, and use it wisely, to reject this nomination. If you do not, you too have taken responsibility for what happens during the next three years of Chief Dolan's tenure. UNQUOTE Bicking warned that Dolan would not make himself accountable to the Civilian Review Authority.
According to CUAPB, Rybak nominated Dolan with a virtually non-existent selection process and no opportunity for input from the community. A month later, the city council rubber-stamped the mayor's decision, and they deserve to be replaced. There's much more to say, and I will leave that to others. Thank you.
In a memo dated September 25, 2006 and reprinted in the StarTribune, three council members (Glidden, Gordon, and Hodges) shared 8 concerns about Dolan with Mayor R.T. Rybak.
1. Incorrect data sent to the FBI resulting in a public black eye for the City
2. Failure to communicate with community groups prior to rollout of SAFE CITY initiative
3. Returning Officer Andersen to the street before the investigation was complete or the community's concerns had been assuaged
4. Poor communication and process regarding cameras at Cedar-Riverside
5. Gave misleading information to Council Members regarding Dr. Campion as a consultant for the City
6. Defensiveness rather than action regarding redlining
7. Support for the "alley ordinance" ahead of Council action
8. Inadequate progress on CRA complaint backlog and refusal to discipline many sustained cases

Rybak's reply: http://www.startribune.com/462/story/717446.html
In their October 7 newsletter, Communities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB) listed 7 concerns about Dolan:
1. Dolan was in charge of the 4th precinct during the Terrell Oliver and Julius Powell shootings--which sparked the uprising that led to federal mediation and a class-action lawsuit against the city.
2. Dolan flat refuses to implement the terms of the federal mediation agreement. After the city's police psychologist (who conducts psychological screenings of candidates) was outed as a racist and homophobe, the PCRC demanded he be fired and the city agreed. Dolan claims to have had a private conversation with him, after which he was put him back into the same job where he blocked perfectly good candidates and contributed to decreased diversity in the department.
3. Dolan has played a key role in the practice of not disciplining sustained Civilian Review Authority complaints, leaving the community no recourse against brutal cops.
4. Dolan dismisses sustained Internal Affairs cases. In one case, officers were caught on tape kicking out the teeth of a handcuffed man. Internal Affairs recommended the officers be fired but Dolan overrode the recommendation and dismissed the case.
5. Dolan was complicit in giving a medal to killer cop Dan May for shooting unarmed teenager Tycel Nelson in the back, even posing with May for pictures after the awards ceremony.
6. Under Dolan, Jason King and Lawrence Loonsfoot--cops who have been involved in other outrageous police brutality incidents and shootings-gunned down unarmed, mentally disturbed Dominic Felder after his family called seeking help. Both of these killer cops are back on the street, thanks to Dolan.
7. The police chief is supposed to live in the city but Dolan doesn't think Minneapolis is good enough for him. Rybak is giving him special dispensation to continue to live in Edina.

According to Michelle Gross, "Right after the shooting, cops told people in the neighborhood 'you got one of ours, now we got one of yours' (though, much to the cops' chagrin, Oliver didn't actually die). I was in the neighborhood immediately after the incident and personally witnessed cops terrorizing the community--running around aiming guns at people, zooming all over the neighborhood calling people names out of their squad car windows."

Two common attitudes about startup funds make the search for funds much more difficult. They are
If you're thinking like this, stop right now. First of all, why seek more investment money than you absolutely need? Every bit of capital invested in your business costs you some equity (ownership) in your company. Besides, having too much money may lead you to make poor decisions because you don't think as carefully as you should about how you spend that money.
Secondly, although it's true that your business plan financials are estimates, they had better be good estimates based on your research. Your investor may discount your estimate of rapid sales growth, but he or she wants to know that you've carefully considered all of your numbers and that they make sense.
In this chapter, you see how to raise capital for your business the smart way — and you start with a plan.

Coriander from the seeds while cilantro comes from the leaves of the plant. Although coriander and cilantro come from the same plant, their flavors and aromas are very different. Coriander has a green, floral and herbaceous aromatic description. Cilantro's aromatic description is fresh, herbal and sweet, although some find it pungent.

Myrrh is mentioned 19 times throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It is the first oil mentioned in Genesis, in the Old Testament. It is the last oil mentioned in Revelation in the New Testament. Myrrh essential oil comes from the gummy resin of the Myrrh tree. It was one of the oils used to make the Anointing Oil mentioned in Exodus.

Cypress essential oil has a fresh, clean, crisp smell that's energizing and refreshing, and often used in aromatherapy. Although not mentioned in the form of an essential oil, cypress wood is mentioned 14 times in the Old Testament of the Bible. Solomon used cypress wood when building the Temple (1 Kings 6:34). Solomon probably used cypress because it is equal to redwood in its resistance to rot and insects. Continue reading "Cypress Essential Oil in the Bible"
There is both written and archaeological evidence that essential oils were used as medicinal substances and aromatherapy in the Bible. One of those, cedarwood essential oil, goes back to the time of Moses and Aaron in the Bible. Essential oils were key in both physical and ceremonial acts of the Old Testament. Continue reading "Cedarwood Essential Oil in the Bible"
Cassia essential oil was an ingredient in anointing oil as described in Exodus 30:22-25 and in Psalms 45:7-9. Besides being used in aromatherapy and on people, the Bible tells us anointing oil was also used in making clothing fragrant. In Ezekiel 27:18-19 we learn that Cassia oil was also used in trade.

Saudi air defenses on Wednesday shot down a drone launched by Houthi rebels from Yemen, according to a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition.
"The drone was intercepted over [Yemen's] Hajjah province before entering the Saudi airspace," Colonel Turki Al-Malki said in a statement cited by the official SPA news agency.
Last month, Riyadh accused Houthi rebels of carrying out drone attacks on two oil-pumping stations on the East-West pipeline, which carries Saudi oil from the eastern province to the port in the western coast.
In 2015, Saudi Arabia and a group of Arab allies -- who accuse the Houthis of serving as an Iranian proxy -- launched a massive military campaign against the rebels, who overran much of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa a year earlier.
The ongoing violence has devastated Yemen's basic infrastructure, prompting the UN to describe the situation as "one of the worst humanitarian disasters of modern times".

Latest Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 Trailer is Narrated by Russian Spacedog
He's a good boy! Yes he is!
Originally unveiled at last weekend's New York Comic Con, the latest trailer for Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 has hit the net. And it's hilariously narrated by none other than Cosmo the Spacedog. And he's being a very good boy.
For you more casual Marvel fans out there, Cosmo the Spacedog is a Russian astronaut dog that can speak. He's typically holed up as Knowhere's chief of security. But you can frequently find him assisting the Guardians of the Galaxy as well. It's apparently Cosmo who becomes aware of Kang the Conqueror's plot within Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 and alert's the universe's heroes. Cosmo, in Lego game fashion, hilariously narrates the entirety of today's new trailer and breaks down the threat that Kang the Conqueror brings to our worlds.
As we touched upon earlier this week within the Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 DLC news, Kang the Conqueror has abducted many Marvel cities from various points in time and has reconstructed them into one large open-world he calls Chronopolis. Kang is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz of Amazon's recent The Tick reboot.
In a story co-written by award winning comic writer Kirk Busiek, Cosmo recruits heroes from a multitude of times to help return their worlds from the clutches of Chronopolis. Featured characters include Star-Lord, Thor, Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, Hulk, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Rocket Raccoon, Iron Man, Cowboy Captain America, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Groot and more.
Traveller's Tales and Warner Bros. Interactive have promised that the game will debut with nearly 150 playable characters. Many of them rare heroes from different eras such as Cowboy Captain America. And on top of that, an additional 60 will join the fray with their inclusion from DLC packs. A super heroic effort from the developers to be sure.
We're just over a month removed from Kang the Conqueror's eventual invasion. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 begins the quest to stop Kang on November 14th for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

William Fisher Packer (April 2, 1807 – September 27, 1870) was the 14th Governor of Pennsylvania from 1858 to 1861.
His father was James Packer from Chester County, Pennsylvania and his mother was Charity Packer. His ancestry was primarily Quakers from Philadelphia. He was descended from Philip Packer, II (1664 - 1739), who was born in Groombridge, Kent, England and settled in West Jersey.[1] When William was seven years old, his father died, leaving him and his four siblings to help run the house.[2]
At the age of 13, he began work as a printer's apprentice at the Sunbury Public Inquirer and later at the Bellefonte Patriot. He also worked as a journeyman at Simon Cameron's newspaper the Pennsylvania Intelligencer in Harrisburg.[2]
Packer studied law in Williamsport, Pennsylvania under future member of Congress Joseph Biles Anthony but did not practice, choosing instead to stay in the newspaper business.[2] In 1829,[3] he purchased a controlling share and became the editor of the Lycoming Gazette which he published until 1836. While working at the Lycoming Gazette, he began an early foray into politics as a major supporter of the construction of the West Branch of the Pennsylvania Canal. The state legislators in Philadelphia had opposed funding the construction and Packer penned an address to Philadelphia to raise public support for the project. The campaign worked and the Philadelphia delegation reversed their position to support the canal.[2]
Packer married Mary W. Vanderbilt on December 24, 1829. The couple had ten children.[3]
Packer's support for the canal did not go unnoticed and in 1832, he was appointed by the Canal Commission to serve as Superintendent of the canals.[2] The position was abolished in 1835 and Packer spent most of that year working for the re-election of Governor Pennsylvania State Senate.[2] A schism in the Democratic Party cost Wolf re-election and Packer a Senate seat.
In 1836, Packer co-founded The Keystone, a Democratic newspaper published in Harrisburg. Packer, through the Keystone, was a supporter of David R. Porter for Governor against Joseph Ritner in the election of 1838. His support of Porter's successful bid helped him earn an appointment to the Board of Canal Commissioners, a powerful post at the time.[2] After he was re-elected, Porter appointed Packer to the post of Pennsylvania Auditor General in 1842.[2]
After an unsuccessful bid for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1845, Packer won a seat in Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1847, rising to the post of Speaker of the House. Packer won re-election in 1848 and then successfully ran for the Pennsylvania State Senate in 1849, defeating Andrew Gregg Curtin.[2]
In the State Senate, Packer was an ardent supporter of railroad development in Central Pennsylvania, working towards the establishment of the Susquehanna Railroad.[2] At the time, state policy was to restrain railroad development in southern Pennsylvania which would benefit Baltimore rather than Philadelphia. The act to authorize the railroad connected the York and Cumberland Railroad to cities like Williamsport and Sunbury and increased their access to regional trade. In 1852, Packer became the first President of the Susquehanna, stepping aside after the line was consolidated into the Northern Central Railway.[2]
During the 1856 Presidential Election, friend and fellow Pennsylvanian James Buchanan ran for the Democratic nomination against incumbent Franklin Pierce and Senator Stephen Douglas. Packer worked hard for his nomination and election.[4] Buchanan won the nomination at the 1856 Democratic National Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio and went on to win the Presidency over Republican John C. Frémont and Know Nothing candidate and former President Millard Fillmore.
In 1857, Packer was nominated as the Democratic Party Candidate for Governor. He was opposed by David Wilmot, author of the Wilmot Proviso which aimed to ban the expansion of slavery to territories acquired from Mexico, and Isaac Hazlehurst of the Native American Party.[5] The Panic of 1857 had crippled the nation's economy, including the Pennsylvania iron industry. With strong support for tariffs in more normal times, the Panic increased Pennsylvania's support for high tariffs, a stance which hurt the pro-free trade Wilmot.[5] The question of the day, however, remained the issue of slavery in Kansas. Packer forwarded a letter to his friend, President Buchanan, supporting the Kansas-Nebraska Act, but opposing an expansion of slavery in that state without a free and open process.[2] The split of the Republicans and Know Nothings made it difficult to defeat the united Democrats and Packer swept into office.[5]
In dealing with the economic crisis caused by the Panic, Packer vehemently blamed banks and the free issue of paper money over gold and silver coinage.[4] As part of a recovery plan, the Governor approved legislation to requiring state banks to limit the issue of paper currency to amounts covered by real security deposited with the state.[4]
In 1859, Packer sought to end the state's involvement in construction and management of canals and railroads, selling off the state's investments to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad.[4]
Governor Packer was a proponent of public schools and supported the new public school system with funds for teacher training. Packer also used his veto power to stop attacks on the new public education system by forces in the legislature.[4]
As his term came to an end, southern states had begun seceding from the union. Packer recommended that the nation's differences be addressed in a national convention.[4] He opposed secession and, in his final address to the General Assembly, he stated, "It is therefore clear, that there is no Constitutional right of secession. Secession is only another form of nullification. Either, when attempted to be carried out by force, is rebellion, and should be treated as such, by those whose sworn duty it is to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and laws of the United States."[2]
Packer retired from public life after the end of his term and died September 27, 1870 in Williamsport.
On repealing a $300 tax exemption
"I would not permit the covetous and hard-hearted creditor to drive his unfortunate debtor, naked and penniless, out upon the cold charities of an inhospitable world. The laws that authorize such a procedure should be blotted from the pages of the statute books of every State in this Union. They are repugnant to the spirit of the age, and revolting to humanity. Like -the laws sanctioning imprisonment for debt, they should be repudiated by every philanthropic legislator; they should exist but in the history of the past—an obsolete idea. It has been truly said, Mr. Speaker, that he who sells out the last little property of a wife and family of small children of a rash, heedless, or perhaps intemperate husband and father, and afterwards, with a cheerful countenance, goes home to dine, goes home to feast on human hearts. Sir, money thus obtained has a damning curse upon it.
In a letter to President Buchanan regarding the Kansas issue:
If slavery should be instituted by, or under a slave-holding Executive, and Kansas should claim admission as a slave State, it does not require a prophet to foretell the consequences north of Mason and Dixon's line. The Democratic party, which has stood by the Constitution and the rights of the South with such unflinching fidelity, would be stricken down in the few remaining States where it is yet in the ascendancy; the balance of power would be lost; and Black Republicans would rule this nation, or civil war and disunion would inevitably follow.
On Pennsylvania and the fugitive slave acts:
Every attempt upon the part of individuals, or of organized societies, to lead the people away from their government, to induce them to violate any of the provisions of the constitution, or to incite insurrections in any of the States of this Union, ought to be prohibited by law as crimes of a treasonable nature. It is of the first importance to the perpetuity of this great Union that the hearts of the people and the action of their constituted authorities should be in unison in giving a faithful support to the constitution of the United States. The people of Pennsylvania are devoted to the Union. They will follow its stars and stripes through every peril. But, before assuming the high responsibilities now dimly foreshadowed, it is their solemn duty to remove even- just cause of complaint against themselves, so that they may stand before High Heaven and the civilized world without fear and without reproach, ready to devote their lives and their fortunes to the support of the best form of government that has ever been de\:ised by the wisdom of man.

New Professor's Research on Concept Mapping Published in Top-Tier Journal
Kevin Roessger teaches in the adult and lifelong learning program at the University of Arkansas so his research probes the effectiveness of ways to teach adults. He recently published an article in the journal Learning and Instruction that examined the teaching of a method called concept mapping.
The European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction publishes the journal. It is the fourth-ranked educational research journal in the world by impact factor.
The article explained that, to make a concept map, a student writes the name of concepts in circles or squares that are linked with lines, which are then labeled to describe the relationship between the two concepts. Concepts can be both incorporated beneath broader concepts, creating a hierarchy of knowledge, and further divided into increasingly detailed and specific components. The purpose of this visual tool for teaching, learning and assessment is to relate students' existing knowledge to new concepts for a deeper understanding than they may get using other techniques.
Other research has found concept maps to be effective ways of learning but little research has examined the best way to teach the use of concept mapping. Roessger is an assistant professor in the College of Education and health Professions who joined the faculty in the fall of 2016. The article titled "Effects of Teaching Concept Mapping Using Practice, Feedback and Relational Framing" is co-authored by Barbara Daley and Duaa Hafez, both of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where Roessger earned a doctorate. The three will present research from the study at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association this weekend in New York.
Roessger and his colleagues asked whether concept mapping could be improved through practice, feedback, and knowledge of a behavior called relational framing. Relational framing is the act of relating things in different ways. According to Roessger, it is the foundation of human language and higher order thinking.
The researchers randomly assigned students in four online graduate courses at their two universities to one of two teaching conditions: a traditional concept map teaching strategy or a relational framing teaching strategy. Traditional ways of teaching concept mapping ignore the act of relating and the ways it is expressed in students' knowledge construction. The approach pioneered by Roessger and his colleagues addressed this by teaching students a variety of relational frames and showing them how they can be applied in concept maps.
They found that repeated practice and feedback improved the structural quality of students' concept maps, as well as the number of references to personal experiences in their maps. Teaching students about relational framing also improved the quality of the relationships students made between concepts in their map. This is thought to lead to deeper and richer understanding of course material and new insights into how it can be applied outside the classroom.

It was impossible not to be impressed by Haseeb Hameed in India in 2016/17. The diminutive Lancashire opener was just another cricketer on the merry-go-round that is Alastair Cook's opening partners, but he had something about him. He just looked like he belonged. In a sport in which perception is everything, that matters.
When he broke his hand in Chandigarh he came out to bat at number eight in England's second innings, as the tourists tried forlornly to set their hosts a sizeable total to chase. Whilst the team failed, Hameed succeeded, batting gamely on, broken hand and all, to an unbeaten score of 59.
"He's showed great character. He put his hand up when his team wanted him to do it and the way he played showed great maturity. You can sense it as a captain: this guy is intelligent, this guy knows the game. He's a great prospect for England. He's definitely going to be a future star in all forms if he keeps persisting with his skill. I'm really impressed and that's why I patted him on the back. It was an innings full of character and something that you need to applaud."
That was India captain Virat Kohli leading the praise for Hammed. Although Hameed departed the series at that juncture, he appeared to be set for a glistening future, set to return to the top of England's order at the first opportunity. There was unanimous agreement to this end; his future success was an inevitability.
Of course, that could still happen. Sadly, though, things have gone awry for Hameed since that broken hand. He's broken it again since and his form for Lancashire has been dire.
His domestic form in 2016 won him the call-up to England's squad for the tour of India. He amassed 1198 runs, with four centuries and seven fifties at an average of 49.91. Once it was realised that Ben Duckett simply couldn't play spin, Hameed was handed his Test cap in Rajkot and played the first three Tests of the series, scoring 219 runs, with two fifties at an average of 43.80. He appeared almost from nowhere and seemed the silver bullet to England's opening woes. The future suddenly looked rosy.
2017 simply didn't go according to plan. In 17 games for Lancashire, he scored 513 runs, with three fifties at an average of 28.50. As Keaton Jennings struggled to hold down his England place, debate raged as to whether Hameed should be called up again. England resisted the calls, in the face of Hameed's sorry form, and Jennings's place eventually went to Mark Stoneman.
Hammed did feature for the England Lions this winter, in a three-game series against West Indies A. He scored 167 runs with no centuries or fifties and averaged 27.83. That he was the best of the bunch speaks volumes for England's current batting predicament.
So bad is the situation that there are still calls for Hameed to be drafted back into the England team right now. Those three Tests in India still represent the best of a sorry bunch since Andrew Strauss retired – no one has ever replaced him.
Had Hameed got off to a good start in 2018, then the calls for an England re-call would only have grown louder. He's one century away from demanding a recall, such is the paucity of options. Alas, 2018 has picked up where 2017 left off for Hameed. In two games so far, he has 31 runs at an average of 7.75.
Of course, opening the batting in April in the north of England is a thankless task, with conditions tipped in the favour of the bowlers. With half the First Class domestic season played by the end of May, however, chances for Hameed to impress may be few and far between.
Perception lingers. There are many who believe Hameed should be thrown back into the England side and given two years to show us what he's got.
With this, the England selectors are in an impossible situation. Hameed hasn't scored a century since 2016 and picking a player so obviously out of form could easily blow up if he continues his low scoring at Test level. Conversely, those three Tests in India showed a tantalising glimpse of what could be.
There is no rush, though. Hameed is still only 21. He's still learning his game and if he comes through this period of prolonged struggle, he will be a stronger player for it. He doesn't need to be thrown back into Test cricket just yet. He needs runs for Lancashire and he needs the right opportunity in which to return to the England fold.
Hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later, for Hameed and for England.

BUTLER TWP. — The Butler Township Board of Trustees recently adopted Resolution No. 15-070 which prohibits parking along either side of the roadway on Jackson, Furnas and Dog Leg Roads (including that portion named "Airpark Boulevard") in the unincorporated portions of Butler Township. Butler Township has received numerous calls and emails from residents and has responded to calls concerning trucks parking for extended periods of time on Jackson, Furnas and Dog Leg Roads. The Board considers parking on these narrow streets or in the middle lane dangerous and a huge liability for the Township.
It is now illegal for any car, truck, semi-truck, boat, trailer, camper, RV, snowmobile, ATV, etc. or any other vehicle with a motor in it to park on either side of the roadway or right-of-way on Jackson, Furnas or Dog Leg Roads. If you see anyone parking on the sides or down the middle of the road (like Airpark Boulevard), please report those vehicles immediately to the police by calling our non-emergency dispatch phone number 233-2080. This will notify the police that a vehicle presents a danger and will be ticketed and towed immediately.
No parking signs will be erected this week and enforcement will begin immediately as the resolution went into effect on October 15, 2015. Ads were posted in the paper on September 18, 25 and October 2, 2015 and posted in 5 different locations around the township.
Reach Butler Township at 898-6735.

Creating believable human face has been one of ultimate goals of many 3D artists. The process of creating an average human face is nothing new or rather a very old topic, however to aichive the most realistic and natural-looking possible we have to make the best out of every step we do: from collecting references, planning before modeling,topology, texturing, rendering…etc.
In this study I will only cover part of my research of the modeling process, I will skip through the fundamental things like how to use tools in specific software like Maya/Max or step by step instructions but rather paying more attention to upper level things such as : overall work flow, different approach of modeling, topology, common mistakes …etc as well as all other things that you should put your mind on while working to create a realistic head model. vía Guide to realistic Head Modeling by Thunder Cloud Studio.

Publication: A Guide to Internet Research Ethics
Text: The Norwegian National Committees for Research Ethics
Last updated: Tuesday, February 17, 2015
"Research" is broadly defined here, and covers research-based teaching and dissemination. Research also covers student work in the form of theses at the Master's and PhD level.
"Internet" basically refers to a global data network for communication and sharing of information. In a broader sense, "Internet" may refer to technological systems and units (things), different forms of use and application (tools), or a place of activity and interaction (social space). The various approaches raise different theoretical and methodological questions, which in turn open up new areas of research ethics assessments and considerations.
"Internet research" consequently covers: 1) research on the Internet as a phenomenon in its own right, its structure and technology (production systems, technical design, programs, codes, etc.); 2) use of the Internet as a research tool (collection of data and information using informants, surveys, archives, logs, algorithms, etc.); and 3) research on production, communication and interaction using the Internet (e-mail, social media, blogs, Internet forums, discussion pages, comments fields, or the use of computer games, search engines, web pages, etc.). Internet research is therefore not defined by the use of new methods.
In the following we will review key research ethics issues related to Internet research. They are particularly related to the researcher's obligation to base his/her work on fundamental respect for human dignity. This is elaborated on in the NESH's Guidelines, where researchers have an obligation to respect integrity, freedom and participation (point 6), to avoid injury and severe burdens (point 7), to have regard for third parties (point 11), to secure children's right to protection (point 12), to respect individuals' privacy (point 13), to respect posthumous reputations (point 17), and to respect the values and motives of others (point 18).
The new Ethical Guidelines for Internet Research replaces the former, outdated version from 2003. The National Committee for Research Ethics in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (NESH) welcomes suggestions from researchers and users on ambiguous formulations or issues not sufficiently addressed. Based on these suggestions, in the autumn 2015, a revised version of these guideines will be published. Deadline for suggestions: July 1 2015.

The single biggest expense parents face isPaying for college
College selection for students and parents can be a very daunting challenge. At Arseneau Advisory Group we work with college-bound students at the beginning of their college search process. We utilize a comprehensive two-pronged approach for college planning:
To ensure that they do not overpay for one of life's most expensive endeavors, we assist parents in positioning their finances so that they have the best opportunity at obtaining gift aid from the institutions of choice. Gift aid differs from federal or state financial aid and the requirements for obtaining are much different. Most families are interested to learn that even at high income levels, while federal student aid can be hard to obtain, aid from their student's school of choice may still be available. We provide the strategies and expertise to best position your finances without having to sacrifices liquidity, use and control of your assets.
In addition, we work with parents to craft a plan to fund college and retirement at the same time.
Not funding these areas now?
Not to worry. We use a time-tested approach that will create or enhance your current savings strategies. Our experts will work with you one-on-one, in person, and help you position your student and your finances for the best possible opportunity to obtain financial aid.
We work with students to assist them in narrowing their college search based on their interests. Don't worry if your student is unsure of their career path! Our process will help them uncover their interests and then match them up with colleges that specialize in these areas.
Students are able to utilize our aptitude testing software which will assist them in uncovering their talents, interests, abilities, and career goals.
Students also participate in an in-depth phone interview with college career expert. Parents are encouraged to attend this interview and ask questions. This interview provides us with the data needed to help the student narrow their college choices based on GPA, SAT/ACT scores, personal interests, and family finances. This step is one of the most important in the entire process. Working together through our process with parents and students, we can reduce the overall cost of college!
When should I begin my college search & college planning?
At the latest the college search should begin in the student's junior year of high school. College planning should have started when you got the "test results 17 years ago." The closer your student is to going to college the more challenging it is for us. But that is why we are so good at what we do!
Why should I pay for someone to do this process for me?
The same reason you pay a surgeon to perform surgery. You don't know how to do this! If you try to do it on your own you may not get the maximum benefit possible. If you work with us we will do everything in our power to help.
Why college financial aid officers can't help you
College advisors will not assist you in picking out the right college or help you fill out forms.
How to qualify even if you think you make too much money
College planning is NOT just about need-based aid. Many other planning strategies are available to drastically reduce your out of pocket costs. There are many legal ways to skin the college-funding beast. For example, cash flow strategies, merit-based aid strategies, student positioning strategies, appeal strategies, and more.
Why your accountant is not a good resource
We can show you the rules they don't want you to discover!

Intro Social Media Webinars
This CrowdFire review discusses if CrowdFire is a Rewarding tool to help build your social media after. In addition, I demonstrate it's helped me boost my Twitter existence for this website! Social Media Webinars
Some kind Of social media after is a must for the majority of businesses. However, getting things going beyond the starting blocks (and past a handful of followers that are mainly family and friends), may feel like an uphill battle.
CrowdFire came to my attention Once I looked For a means to develop my Twitter account. I've been using it myself now for many months, and I am really happy with the outcomes. I am therefore pleased to eventually get around to sharing them. So let's begin.
Click here to sign up for Crowdfire today!
What's CrowdFire?
CrowdFire Is a web-based utility that"plumbs from" to your social media accounts. Originally designed as a Twitter tool, it now has functionality for Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. CrowdFire makes it possible to automate the tasks involved with steadily growing a following on social media.
For example, when I set up the Twitter Accounts for this website, I would spend some time every day identifying individuals in the house freelancing and working niches, and follow them in the expectation they interact in the future and would accompany me back. CrowdFire helps you find these people and makes it very fast to add them. Even more it helps you keep track of people who don't follow you straight back or people that are inactive and not really worth following, which means you can keep the list of people that you follow in check.
It does A lot more besides; It finds relevant content you can share to assist you maintain your accounts busy and alive, indicates tweaks to your accounts to help them perform better, and does it with an extremely contemporary"bot" style interface which only takes a couple of minutes each day to manage.
I am in case you're not already Beginning to guess Quite a lover of CrowdFire — and you likely will be too. When I tell you the best part of all: subject to some functionality limitations, it's possible to begin with it for free. Social Media Webinars
How does CrowdFire function?
After Allowing CrowdFire permission to handle your desirable social media accounts (I primarily use it for Twitter), all you really need to do is get into the support once per day and follow the instructions it gives you.
For Example, on a typical day, it will give me a choice of articles that is relevant to pick from to share in my deadline. Then it will suggest some accounts for me to unfollow in after me because they've not reciprocated. I'll get a list of reports that are proposed to follow because they have been tweeting about keywords and phrases that are relevant, or since they are fans of folks in my markets.
On some Days, I'll get extra jobs, like feeding in much more relevant keywords, checking my automatic message to people who follow me, or checking that the info in my own"About" section stays relevant. Is that if the machine notices I keep ignoring a task, it is going to give the option of suspending it doesn't bother me with it to me.
Everything's Performed with a friendly interface, and it all literally only takes a few minutes per day to manage.
CrowdFire Results
What CrowdFire basically does for me is Completely automate a task that was previously taking 20 minutes each day (and often not getting done because of additional pressures). But I can always grab two minutes every day to do it.
Most Importantly, my follower count on Twitter continues to rise at a fantastic speed, and climbs with followers , as a result of the fact they're people I know are interested in design and homeworking.
Lately, I decided to Begin monitoring my amount of Twitter followers, in addition to the amount of people I am following. (Maintaining this ratio in line is important if you want to keep the"Twitter police" pleased with you!)
30 days of Using CrowdFire fostered my follower count by 533. I am after 801 people now, but that amount would be vastly higher if I didn't have the ability to unfollow people that aren't currently engaging with me. Social Media Webinars
It's also important to reemphasize that my Followers are. They're followers that retweet them interact with my posts, like them and click through to the website. If none of those folks ever take a look at your content, as there's no point using a big follower number for dressing, this is important.
The amounts above prove that I can carry on doing What I'm doing and steadily boost my Twitter following (at least till I'm after 5000 people( if things get a little more difficult). I tipped on the 2000 mark as you can see below!
All these Numbers make CrowdFire worth each penny. And it is possible to do this with the version that is free too — albeit at a rate that is dramatically slower , because of the follow / unfollow limits.
What Crowdfire Does Favorably
Users that gave Crowdfire a Review said that the app is a tool for scheduling articles. They also shared that it allows them include the followers of the opponents and to easily monitor their neighborhood.

CrowdFire Cons
When I Sat down to write this, I knew downsides and I'd struggle, and in typing up it having reached this point, that stuggle remains!
1 recent change that has bugged me is that you utilized To be able to bang down on the mouse button to trace or unfollow people en masse. CrowdFire recently changed so that you now have to scroll down and click each green"plus" icon then (as shown in the screenshot below).
This is Really a fantastic thing, because it ensures you glance at. It stops you being lazy and treating the entire thing. However, it has made it all take a tiny bit.
But I must be honest — that is a criticism that is tiny, And I can't think of anything to moan about. CrowdFire is one of these tools that easy to advocate. Social Media Webinars
Most Helpful Positive User Overview
Review of Crowdfire on Crowd said that the app is for managing the Twitter followers of his brand, his favorite tool. He shared that his favourite feature is that the one which permits him to add their opponents' followers to their list. He also added that Crowdfire has a iPhone app that was great.

You Will Need to wait till The end of your billing period until you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription. But you may contact the Crowdfire service team from within the program if you want the account modification instantly.
CrowdFire Cost
As I just Said, CrowdFire is available subject to some limitations, however there are a few premium options available.
It is Potential to try out what CrowdFire offers without spending any money at all, but as you can see in the above, you're confined to one account per social network. You are also limited in suggested content you're given to discuss, and terms of how a lot of people you can follow / unfollow daily.
I used The free version of CrowdFire for a few weeks, in tandem with performing some after. After this time I was very much convinced it was worth spending five dollars to the time I'd save by doing everything with CrowdFire. I enjoy the fact you can actually"try before buying."
Furthermore, For people handling loads of social media accounts (perhaps with a company specialising in this kind of work), the Premium and VIP choices (at $7.99 per month and $33.32 per month respectively) are great value.
CrowdFire Review: Conclusion
So that Brings us to the conclusion of the (rather optimistic ) review.
Using CrowdFire is a bit of a"no brainer" if you're eager to build up your social media profile. It basically makes it possible to do the type of things a social media agency would bill you for, but at no cost or at a low price, all at a couple of minutes per day.
It definitely pays dividends Who you're following, and it vital if you are going to keep them interested, that you supply content to your followers. Employing CrowdFire does not do everything for you!
But should You have got the appropriate intentions to your social media, CrowdFire is a very Great way to speed along the advancement, instead of awaiting your following To grow gradually and organically. Social Media Webinars

Top 10 Free Carol Services/Concerts
I love listening to carol singing at Christmas and normally try to visit a couple of lunchtime services before finishing with the lighting of the tree in my local church in
Highams Park
on Christmas Eve.
With this in mind I've compiled a Top Ten of Free Carol Services/Concerts in Central London. They are more or less in date order. This list is not exhaustive so if you know of any other ones please put in the comments below.
There is also of course the free
Celebration of Christmas
concert at St Paul's on 15th December at 6.30pm with celebrity readers. However from past experience this involves a lot of queueing in the cold to ensure a reasonable seat otherwise you end up towards the back of the cathedral with no view at all plus a freezing cold draught coming in so wear your thermals! I now prefer a smaller venue where you can actually see what's going on and feel more involved.
Trafalgar Square
Each night from
until 22nd December there will be carol singing around the tree in Trafalgar Square by various choirs from 5 until 9pm each choir having an hour slot.
St Paul's Covent Garden
Known as the Actors' Church, St Paul's designed by Inigo Jones is worth visiting anyway to see the amazing amount of memorials inside the church to playwrights, actors and others connected with the entertainment industry. They also have their own theatre company Iris.
Sunday 11th
at 6pm
Advent Carols
with the choir of St Paul's.
Sunday 18th December
at 3.30pm
Nine Lessons and Carols by Candlelight,
sung by
The Friends' Musick in period costume, with readings by actors from the King James Bible.
Temple Church
Since the publication of the Da Vinci Code the Temple Church now charges £3 entrance. However I am assuming (please correct me if I'm wrong) that if you visit a carol service you can enter for free.
Tuesday 13th December
at 1.15-1.45pm
Christmas Carol Sing-along,
an informal half-hour of carol singing; requests will be taken!
Friday 16th December
at 1.10pm
Britten: A Ceremony of Carols
sung by The Temple Singers.
St Stephen's Walbrook
Wren's try-out for the dome of St Paul's St Stephen's Walbrook is worth visiting anyway. At the moment there is also a temporary view of the church to be had across the
Walbrook Square
building site from Cannon Street.
Wednesday 14th December
at 6.30pm
St Stephen Parish Carols for the Business Community
with the choir of St Stephen Walbrook.
St Bartholomew the Great
The Priory Church was founded in AD 1123 as part of a monastery of Augustinian Canons but the church is probably more famous amongst the general public for having featured in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Another church which I really should have visited; each time I'm on a guided tour of the area it goes to the top of my "to visit" list. Am hoping to attend one of these carol services which means I can hopefully save the £4 entrance fee. There is a
here too.
Thursday 15th December
at 6.00 pm
A Service of Nine Lessons and Carols
unday 18th December
at 6.30 pm
A Service of Nine Lessons and Carols
Tuesday 20th December
at 6.00 pm
A Service of Readings and Carols
All Hallows by the Tower
The oldest church in the City of London and one which I am ashamed to say I haven't visited even though I worked opposite it for years (1990-1996) but that was before I was so interested in London and its history. I've just discovered they have a new
which might prove the carrot to get me there but their carol services look very tempting too.
Thursday 15th December
at 6pm
Traditional Carols by Candlelight
with carols, stories and seasonal refreshments.
Sunday 18th December
at 4pm
Festival of Lessons and Carols.
Monday 19th December
at 6pm
Noël, Noël, Chantons Noël!
pour les Francophiles et leurs amis.
St James's the Less
Built by G E Street who went on to build the Royal Courts of Justice which eventually unfortunately killed him. The church's website isn't working at the moment but they do have a
group which is kept up-to-date.
Sunday 18th December
at 6pm
Candlelit carol service
followed by mulled wine and mince pies.
St James's Piccadilly
One of only two Wren churches outside the City of London, the other being St Clement Danes, St James's Piccadilly is well worth visiting. Wren built it so that all 2000 people in the congregation could see and hear the preacher.
Tuesday 20th December
at 5.30pm
Carols for Shoppers:
traditional carols with readings and music from the Vigala Singers - mince pies and mulled wine served afterwards
Not carols but on
Wednesday 21st December
at 1.10pm
The Askew Sisters will sing traditional English folk music and songs with a festive feel.
St Bride's Church
The journalists' church and also (it is said) its spire is the basis for the design of the wedding cake. Worth visiting the crypt too and/or going on one of their guided tours.
Wednesday 21st December
at 12.00pm and 5pm -
Carols for Fleet Street
St Dunstans in the West
This is one of my favourite churches to visit for their regular Wednesday recitals although I still haven't got the hang of how to open the doors on the end of the pews.
Wednesday 21st December
at 1.15pm
uild Church Carol Service and Civic Procession Sung by
their local choir. I went last year and it was very good.
I hope the above is useful and I must get some of these into my own diary. Maybe see you there!
