These are just a few of the safe and stunning jewelry options that we carry at our location in Kearney, Nebraska U.S.A.
We offer free custom fitting with any jewelry purchased at our studio. This will ensure a comfortable fit to suit your anatomy perfectly.
If you're unable to make it in to see us in person, we would be more than happy to ship jewelry directly to you, anywhere in the world. We accept payments through PayPal or can email you an invoice through our Point of Sale system, Square.
Please contact us here if you have ANY questions or whenever you're ready to order some new gorgeous jewelry.
All of our jewelry is made in the U.S.A. from only the best fine jewelry manufacturers. We carry these proven safe materials.
F-136 Titanium
14-18kt Solid Gold: White, Yellow, & Rose
Pure Niobium
Borosilicate Glass
F-67 CP Titanium
All gemstones are meticulously hand set into the metal settings. No glues are used to hold gemstones in place. All gemstones are guaranteed not to discolor, crack or break during regular use. If it breaks, we'll get it fixed for free.
All of our threaded jewelry is internally threaded. This means that the removable ball/gem end piece has threading that fits into the post/stud/barbell shaft. The posts are slightly rounded at the ends to allow more comfortable insertions.
Every component is hand polished to a mirror surface finish to promote easier healing, cleaning, and a beautiful look that will stand out in your jewelry collection.
Each piece of jewelry comes with a lifetime warranty.
Most piercings will require a slightly shorter length of jewelry after a few weeks or months, depending on placement. It's very important that you get these changed out with proper fitting jewelry that is made of implant grade materials. There is no "One size fits all" when it comes to body piercings. Go see your Piercer to get fitted with safe, appropriately sized jewelry, NOT cheap novelty shops in the mall or online jewelry suppliers.
Good Jewelry is NOT cheap. Cheap Jewelry is NOT good.
We recommend checkups every month or so after you get your new piercing, just to make sure you're healing well and to discuss any other jewelry options you may be interested in.
"Surgical Steel" should never be used for a fresh or healing piercing, mostly due to the high nickel content.
Acrylic Jewelry should also be avoided as it is absolutely toxic.
Externally Threaded Jewelry should never be used as it damages your piercing every time it is pushed through, no matter how old the piercing is.
Some Safe Jewelry materials are:
- Implant Grade Titanium, (F-136) NOT TITANIUM PLATED METAL
- Pure Niobium
- Solid 14kt-18kt Gold, NOT GOLD PLATED METAL
- Borosilicate Glass
- 316LVM Stainless Steel, (NOT 316L Surgical Steel!)
Your jewelry should also have a high polished mirror surface finish on the part that goes into the piercing! Dull, unpolished grey colored mystery metals with scratches or machine marks should not be going into your body! Bacteria, skin cells, and blood will adhere to those little traps and rot inside of your piercing.

Congrats! I can't imagine running 13 miles all at once. And that's scary about how unsafe the race was. Not good. I hope they change course next time to avoid those unsafe places.ReplyDeleteReplies

Song Preparation: I encourage you listen to these songs each week so that you are familiar with them by the time we sing on Sunday. I always find that becoming more familiar with the lyrics to a song gives me more freedom to be led by the Holy Spirit as I worship. I would encourage you to go to itunes or any other music download site and purchase these songs for your music library. That way you can spend more time listening to them and learning the lyrics!
Here is some scripture that goes well with the songs we will sing this Sunday.
- Marvelous - 1 Chronicles 16:24; Psalm 98:1
- Shout it Out - Isaiah 49:13
- No Longer Slaves - Galatians 4:6-7
- The Stand - Romans 5:1-3
- Praise Him - Psalm 150
Listen to the songs for this Sunday here.

How I healed my emotional wounds
I'm so passionate about helping people to heal from their emotional wounds, because I understand first hand what a difference it can make to how you feel on the inside. It can be very hard to move your life in the direction of your purpose if every day you are working against an emotional wound that makes you feel hurt, vulnerable, unsafe or sad. Even if you are taking steps forward it can feel so exhausting because you are carrying your wounds with you like a 10 kilo sack of potatoes! I am sharing my story in hope that it gives people permission to get support for their own healing.
Sometimes I think that we have too much focus on goals and achievement and not enough on healing. Its important to change the story that we carry in our mind and body before trying to just change the outward stuff. For example, we might think we will feel happier if we change our career or achieve our fitness goal, but if we don't heal our wounds we will still feel the same emotionally even if we look better or enjoy our job more.
I thought I needed to keep other people happy in order to stay safe.
This is how I felt up until about 27 years old, I was edging towards my true purpose but I lacked self belief. I had 2 degrees and a professional job but inside I was a scared 8 year old girl. I was carrying the wounds of physical and emotional trauma I experienced as a child, living with a step father that wished I didn't exist. I was still looking for the approval of others, and I would be terrified any time a manager gave me negative feedback. I had a certain pattern imprinted on me, that I thought I needed to keep other people happy in order to stay safe.
I was focused on my goals not on myself.
I wanted to change my career, I wanted to start a centre for healing and wellness. I thought about it all the time, I kept journals of ideas and articles and I even started studying Naturopathy and Yoga. But I still felt stuck and scared to move. I felt strong, but I also felt so weak. Progress was slow and tiring because when my emotional wounds were triggered I felt small and full of doubt. Things weren't working because I was focused on my goals not on myself.
My body was not doing very well, I couldn't hold on to pee, I had numbness in one leg and I wasn't sleeping. I couldn't quite explain, but I felt so uncomfortable, my body felt uncomfortable sitting, walking and exercising. I got some help from a Physio and after regular treatment without the change he was expecting he referred me to a Craniosacral Therapist at his Moranbah clinic politely suggesting that I might need some support with healing emotional trauma from my body.
So I had to drive an hour to receive treatments in Moranbah, but it was well worth it. Talk based therapy never appealed to me, but this was something totally different. The Therapist explained to me about how our trauma and emotions can stay imprinted in our tissues, these patterns are linked to the emotions relating to the trauma. It was almost like my whole body sighed with relief that someone understood how I felt inside and how to help me. When I started to receive Craniosacral Therapy treatments things really started to shift for me.
he found an area below my right rib where I was punched and winded when I was about 8
The therapist was drawn to the areas I was physically hurt as a child even though I hadn't told him about it, like he could sense something there. For example, he found an area below my right rib where I was punched and winded when I was about 8. I thought he must have been very intuitive, but he explained that he could feel all of my surrounding connective tissue pulling towards this area and also the stored energy in the tissues. My arm started to move on its own and he reassured me that was just because the connective tissue in my body was unwinding tension, its totally normal because all of the connective tissue in the body is connected. I started to cry, but it felt good like I had let something out of a deep part of my soul. The treatments I received changed my life, and I truly believe with out this help, I wouldn't be where I am today leaving out my dream full of gratitude.
Its like the emotion becomes imprinted onto the tissues. And after a while, you feel stuck in that pattern
The more I started to learn about Craniosacral Therapy the more it made sense to me. Emotions are not just in the mind, they are in the body. When we feel something the whole body responds, our biochemistry, our immune system and our muscles and connective tissue. When certain emotions stay for a long time because of unresolved trauma we hold onto certain tension patterns in our body for a long time. When we remember what happened to us, the brain keeps sending out the same messages to the body and so you hold tension in your body in a particular pattern. Its like the emotion becomes imprinted onto the tissues. And after a while, you feel stuck in that pattern - your mind has your fit into that pattern, your muscles have fit into that pattern, your connective tissue has fit into that pattern, your distribution of energy has fit into that pattern, and that may in itself lead to problems with the body like I was experiencing or can even lead to illness if unaddressed.
Craniosacral therapy works to unwind these tension patterns and helps the body to change the mind body patterning of trauma. I decided to study Craniosacral therapy myself, because I wanted to help others to heal from their wounds. I have been working with adults for the last 4 years. I recently completed 2 Levels of Craniosacral Therapy for Children, so that I can also help children early on heal and to thrive.

For college students, there are relatively much wider selections of scholarship and literature about the topics, places, and peoples of the African world. But for the K-12--or primary to secondary school--there exists comparatively little books written for young readers, based on the latest research by some of the best scholars, and made accessible to such readers in digestible, narrative form. We aim to do just that through stories and activity/workbooks that can be used in together, independently, or with existing school curricula.

Here are two linked videos. This one is fake and terrifying. The other is real and gee-whiz cool. It is possible for the same reality to be cool and terrifying at the same time.
I believe this technology is inevitable. We need to be planning for how to control it, defend against it, and hold people accountable for its abuse. Killer bots have already been used in law enforcement. Integrating AI into the use of killer bots is as predictable as self-driving cars.
We even know how it will be sold: tired of police shooting unarmed black men? Let robots make the decisions instead.
Of course, you can hear that last sentence several different ways.
I know that there are plenty of public conversations about ethics we're not having, because we are overwhelmed with the kleptocrat-in-chief's rejection of all previous norms. But technological progress isn't stopping for humanity to have remedial lessons on conflicts of interest, consent, nepotism, and civil behavior. It is scary to think of him having access to nuclear weapons. It is scarier to think of people like him using this technology.
Autonomous killer bots should also figure into debates about the second amendment. Should private citizens have access to swarming armed drones? Why not?
It is almost quaint how apologists for the NRA think they will be able to stave off next-generation tyrants with their guns. Ballots, not bullets, are the way we fight tyranny. It requires us to have a prophetic imagination that allows us to think beyond the next election cycle, and to see how our technology affects our behavior over decades. It requires us to make decisions as a community and to recognize that there are some things we have to address for the common good.
Killer bots already exist. Our moral imagination has to catch up.
[edit]: I remain in awe of how Star Trek predicted so many technologies and the social questions they would raise. Remember this episode?

I am astonished at the lack of coverage of Liam Allan's trial by the Guardian (Scotland Yard carrying out 'urgent review' after rape trial collapses, 15 December). This young man came very close to being wrongly convicted of rape due to appalling failures by the police and CPS to disclose material to the defence and prosecuting counsel. A review is being undertaken by the police and CPS into the causes of this particular failure but there are deeper concerns that need addressing: underfunding of the police and CPS, cuts to legal aid and the rise in unrepresented defendants, the culture of "victim belief" in reports of sexual offences and how the Criminal Cases Review Commission deals with unused material. Actual innocence cases are a powerful tool for systemic reform – positive changes came from cases such as the Birmingham Six. Much of that pressure came from media coverage of the cases. The Guardian has a proud history of campaigning against miscarriages of justice – this case came very close to joining that tragic list. I hope you will look into it.
Dr Hannah Quirk
Senior lecturer in criminal law and justice, School of Law, University of Manchester
• The prosecution of Liam Allan on rape charges was only dropped after the police belatedly disclosed undermining evidence. This begs the question: When will Essex police disclose allegedly withheld evidence in the case of Jeremy Bamber? He was convicted in 1986 of killing five family members, jailed for life and decreed to never be released by the home secretary. Yet at his trial, and for 31 years since then, the police are accused of failing to disclose to Bamber's legal team over 100 of items of evidence. I wrote to Essex chief constable Stephen Kavanagh this year, listing the withheld items. The reply from his spokesperson did not deny they had this evidence. Instead, I was told Essex police were "comfortable that all relevant material has been disclosed". The police have apparently abrogated to themselves the right to determine what evidence is "relevant." This defies a basic principle of British justice that the defence has a right to see all the evidence. The home secretary must now press Essex police to hand over the non-disclosed material. Until this is done, Jeremy Bamber's conviction will remain unsafe.

In the series Beyond is his personal hallucinations, delusions and dreams are central. Many of these experiences were gained by Sander during a long-term hospital stay. In fact, at the age of twenty, Sander went through his second heart operation, during which he was hospitalized for a month. During his hospitalization, Sander was frequently under sleep medications, which lead to many hallucinations, delusions and dream images. With the series Beyond, Sander incorporated many of these personal experiences. This shows where his personal symbolism comes from and shows the basis and source of inspiration for many of his works.

eSports Betting in Nevada
For those of you that missed Nevada's momentous foray into legalized eSports betting I put forth this post. The "Nevada eSports Bill" makes pari-mutuel betting on eSports events legal. Last November state regulators gave the go ahead for eSports betting, but now pari-mutuel eSports betting is part of the law. Although the bill never mentions "eSports", it is included within the bill as competitive gaming. These articles all look at the bill and what it could mean for the future of eSports for Nevada.

Multitasking Maniac
"Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind" Ecclesiastes 4:6.
I'll be the first to admit it: I'm maybe not the best listener. At work, three-quarters of my concentration is devoted to my computer, another 20 percent to my coworkers and the last five percent to superfluous text conversations. At home, I'm sometimes no better, dividing my attention between TV, my laptop and phone.
Multitasking has become the type of skill we brag about on our resumes, but it leaves little time for listening and reflection. I fail to truly think about my actions or outside events at times, and that's when sins --mine or others -- start to creep in unnoticed and unchallenged.
Lord, help me to consider the true consequences of my actions and to recognize injustice when it happens.

GRAPEVINE - A man is in critical condition after nearly drowning at Grapevine Lake. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the man was out swimming with his family Sunday afternoon.
He went missing, but a dive team was able to find him within 30 minutes and rushed him to the hospital.
Crews were already on the scene after another man had gone missing Saturday afternoon. That victim jumped into the lake from his boat and never came up.
His body was found Sunday afternoon.
In both incidents, the victims were on the water without a life jacket.

Because online search is defined by how interactive it is, it's perhaps the most dynamic marketing technology in history. While there are certain tactics and parameters that have stayed with us, as consumer search habits continue to evolve, SEO managers and marketing teams have to evolve alongside their customers.
More and more consumers are starting to research products directly from online sellers instead of Google. The challenge, then, for brands is embracing that marketplace and multi-channel retail search engines do not work quite like Google's or quite like each other's algorithms. Results for one site will always differ from the next.
We address many of these subtle differences in our latest eBook, "Content Health, Search Rankings, and Revenue: Making a Case for Improved Product Listings." We cited specific examples, including a case study of the pain reliever market, to demonstrate just how significantly product name attributions impact results on different search rankings.
From the book:
"Treat this book as an online marketer's survival guide. It reiterates where we are today in terms of online searching, how to anticipate customer searches, and how those searches impact results on popular online retailers."
You undoubtedly already know a lot about search. Does it really hurt to learn more?

I'm undone/
Ever have one of 'those' weeks? When you are so steeped in tasks, the Martha (as Luke describes in Luke 10:38-42) crushes your Mary heart and you don't even realize it? Yeah, that was me over the last few weeks.
The first part of Jesus Calling undid me this morning!
December 19 from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Do not be weighed down by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up as much time as you devote to them.
Instead of trying to do all your chores at once, choose the ones that need to be done today. Let the rest slip into the background of your mind, so I can be in the forefront of your awareness. Remember that your ultimate goal is living close to Me, being responsive to My initiatives. I can communicate with you most readily when your mind is uncluttered and turned toward Me. Seek My Face continually throughout this day. Let My Presence bring order to your thoughts, infusing Peace into your entire being.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
—Proverbs 16:3
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
—Matthew 6:33
This week (the last couple of weeks, really)I have allowed tasks and my 'to do' list to weigh me down...crush me...overwhelm me...suck the joy out of me. Which then invites the enemy to participate with whispers of "you're not enough" and "you're not qualified" and his favorite "you are such a disappointment, you are letting everyone down." HE IS SUCH A LIAR, and I get overwhelmed when I agree with him. NO MORE.
God tells me I am His beloved, precious beyond words, with an irreplaceable role, I am exactly who I need to be to accomplish what He leads me to do, growing each day to live into who He's created me to be. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! I am thankful beyond words for my husband and friends who remind me of this when I forget.

I'm sure this is a very specific problem to me but I thought I would post anyway to see if anyone can offer any suggestions or advice.
I play modded minecraft on a public server that supplies its own custom launcher, all packs they provide launch fine and I can join the server except
All The Mods 3 Minecraft version 1.12.2 pack version 5.9.8c
I was able to play that pack and join the server on earlier versions but after the recent update I just cannot join. I have attempted with the server owners to find the problem but have been unable to. They looked at my launcher logs and also their own console as I try to join and all they see is a timed out error. I have tried the MultiMC launcher as well (on which I can load and join said server with every other mod pack I have tried ) but this specific pack just will not allow me to join the server, however it does load and I can play on single player.
I have
Mint 18.1 Serena 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.4.0-119-generic x86_64
Mate 1.16.2
memory 15.7 GiB
Processor AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-core Processor x6.
To lunch Minecraft I use Oracle Java version 1.8.0_181
I have pretty well given up attempting to play that pack as aside from my problems it is also considered buggy. I am aware that there is another player on that server using a Ubuntu install (not sure of specifics) who can join the server and play that pack OK but with a few issues. Its a slightly frustrating mystery.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

That "pack" that is giving you problems, can you disable individual plugins in the pack? If so then start with only one in it and add others until you get to the problem plugin.

Sara Hartman just followed up on her debut track from last year with new release Two Feet Off The Ground.
Monster Lead Me Home thrusted Hartman into the limelight last year, generating almost ten million online streams and a hat tip from Spotify, who named her one of their Spotlight for 2016 artists. Two Feet Off The Ground was written in just a day and, in the singer's own words, "...is a don't think, just follow your instincts kind of tune". On her inspiration for the song, Hartman, who used to live alone in Berlin, explains "I read an old saying in a book about Weimar Berlin, that there was something in the air in this city that made you want to dance."
Check out Two Feet Off The Ground below, and as a bonus find her cover of the Jamie XX's Stranger In A Room further down.

In the recent decision of Starbev GP Ltd v Interbrew Central European Holdings BV [2016], the Court of Appeal decided that the term 'purpose' in a commercial context meant the 'dominant purpose'.
The dispute concerned the provisions for deferred consideration on the sale of a brewing business. The deferred consideration depended, in part, on the price obtained on the subsequent sale of the business to a third party. The contract contained an anti-avoidance provision that kicked in if any transaction was structured 'with the purpose of reducing payments' for the deferred consideration.
The seller argued that the subsequent sale by the buyer was structured with the purpose of reducing the payments due to the seller. The issue that the Court of Appeal therefore had to consider was whether the term 'purpose' meant the sole purpose, the dominant purpose or a substantial purpose.
The Court of Appeal approved the High Court judgment and confirmed that the relevant purpose is the dominant one.
The court referred to the Supreme Court's statement in Hayes v Willoughby that 'a person's purposes are almost always to some extent mixed, and the ordinary principle is that the relevant purpose is the dominant one'. In this case, it was determined that the dominant purpose of the transaction was indeed to reduce the payments due to the seller, even though there were subsidiary purposes.
Although this judgment provides helpful clarification that the term 'purpose' is likely to be interpreted as the 'dominant' purpose, it nevertheless flags the importance of clarity when drafting commercial contracts.
It is advisable to consider whether the phrase 'for the purpose of' can be made more specific, for example adding the use of the words 'sole' or 'dominant' so that the intention of the parties is made clear.
This publication is intended for general guidance and represents our understanding of the relevant law and practice as at August 2016. Specific advice should be sought for specific cases. For more information see our terms & conditions.

The Mint Report for 08 December 2010
CBI officials swooped down on the former telecom minister's home in Delhi, early Wednesday morning. They also searched his Tamil Nadu home and the residences of four others, including former telecom officials. Raja himself could be spotted within the premises of his Delhi home. He was casually dressed and talking to people.
All in all, 11 CBI teams raided 14 locations in Delhi and Tamil Nadu. Later in the day, a CBI spkesperson said the raids were still going on and that incriminating documents had been found.
And in other news, there may be some consolation for travelers reeling from high priced plane tickets. The Federation of Indian Airlines says member carriers will publish their airfares on their respective Web sites. FIA members include Air India, GoAir, Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways and SpiceJet. India's airlines are under pressure from the government over increasing ticket prices. Wednesday's move will allow them to continue offering a wide range of fares. Last month, aviation minister Praful Patel warned airlines to reduce charges or face action. But carriers argued their higher fares were prompted by an increase in demand.
And finally, Indian markets plunged on Wednesday partly because of the CBI raids. The Sensex fell 238 points to 19,696. And the Nifty lost 73 to finish at 5,904.

Josh Lynn is the family minister at South Harriman Baptist Church. Josh began serving in August 2014. The Carthage, Tennessee native came to South Harriman after completing his degree in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee in May of 2014. He is currently pursuing a Master's of Divinity Degree at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Josh lives in Oakdale, Tennessee with his wife Rachel, daughter Joanna, and their dog Willow.
"From the moment that I was saved at the age of 11, I felt and understood the strong call on my life and on the lives of all Christians to go and make disciples. I didn't know how that call would work out in my life (I was 11 after all), but all of my major goals from then on were at least partially focused on bringing the good news of Jesus to people. As I matured in my faith and in general those other things attached to my goals were slowly stripped away until all that was left was glorifying God and teaching others about Him. That pursuit has led me here. I am able to work out my calling, share my very limited knowledge, and invest into a community of believers who seek to follow Jesus."

Study suggests European access control market to prosper
16 March, 2005
category: Biometrics, Contactless, Corporate, Financial
New Frost & Sullivan study suggests significant growth in the adoption of access control systems in Europe. Contactless solutions will benefit but more traditional technologies such as barcodes and magnetic stripes will see equally major gains.
European Access Control Market to Expand as Cost-Effective Technologies Meet the Growing Need for Fraud Control
LONDON, March 15 /PRNewswire/ – The overarching need to reduce fraud across government and commercial settings is boosting demand for access control systems. From an estimated $768.5 million in 2004, the European access control market is set to reach $968.5 million in 2011. Both governments as well as the private sector are deploying access control technology for applications ranging from time and attendance to physical access. This is helping reduce the instances of crime and fraud.
In keeping with the technological ascendancy of low-cost solutions, cost-effective magnetic stripe and bar-code card systems, which are used for automatic identification, are becoming increasingly popular. "While there are some proven indications that the total infrastructure cost for smart cards and readers is less compared with the extensive network requirement of magnetic stripe set-up, the cost differential is not easily seen by small companies that basically rely on just a few readers and even fewer computers," notes Frost & Sullivan (http://frost.com). "From this perspective, many small companies are expected to look more into magnetic stripe rather than being aggressive and migrating to smart card technology."
In addition to being the oldest and most established automatic ID technology, bar-code technology has the further advantage of being more economical to produce than other access control technologies, since in many cases, an identity card can simply comprise a plastic card with the barcode printed on it.
As interest grows in contactless smart cards, contactless readers are poised to experience a related rise in demand. Suited for transactions where speed and convenience are critical, contactless technology is being trialled for payment applications. Several projects involving contactless smart cards in physical access control applications and national ID projects are also in the pipeline. These, together with a recent recommendation by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) proposing the use of biometrics along with contactless smart cards to ensure safer travel, are expected to expand opportunities for contactless smart card readers.
Despite lingering concerns about privacy violations and unacceptably high false reject rates (FRR), biometrics is expected to gain increasing acceptance. Improved performance, greater reliability, lower unit costs and faster verification times have all contributed to growing approval.
"The public's concept of biometrics may well change once they become aware of the substantial benefits that the technology has to offer in terms of fraud reduction and business operating costs," comments Frost & Sullvan. "At the same time, FRR must be reduced so that the denial of access to genuine customers is kept to a bare minimum – particularly important if biometrics is to be used in an open system involving large-scale commercial applications."
Overall market growth is expected to be driven primarily by biometric applications and proximity systems. Electronic tokens are set to be the largest and most rapidly growing of the four principal product categories. While time & attendance and biometrics are also set to experience robust growth, electronic keypads are anticipated to become increasingly outdated and suffer from falling demand and revenues.
One of the key challenges that suppliers face is shifting market dynamics. Invariably, companies' profits are project based and the completion of a project often results in a sharp and immediate shrinking of the company's business. Therefore, the number of customers and projects as opposed to annual turnover is generally regarded as being a better indicator of a company's stability and competitive strength.
At the same time, the typically slow materialisation of sizeable government backed projects has resulted in delayed profits for participating manufacturers. This has been compounded by the slowdown in leading European economies, which has negatively impacted spending on advanced technologies. Nevertheless, sustained demand from the more solid Spanish and UK economies has, so far, kept the market buoyant. With a limited number of new opportunities, the market has remained extremely competitive. Fragmentation is evident, particularly in the middle and lower tiers of competition. Of the three tiers of competitors, the first tier accounts for 55.0 per cent of the total market revenues followed by more mid-sized companies comprising the second tier generating 33.0 per cent and smaller sized market participants contributing the remainder.

Babbidge Island
Wild and Provocative
Standing sentry at the east end of the Fox Island Thorofare, Babbidge Island is roughly 70 acres and shaped like a crooked finger. Many of us know this place as an island that is wonderful to visit and explore, its shorelines sculpted by years of exposure to the open ocean to the east or protection from nearby Calderwood facing west. What seems remarkable about this rugged, small island is that it was home for several families over an approximately 80-year period during the 19th century.
Living on Babbidge was no small undertaking. Imagine the effort of the first homesteaders to build shelter, gather food and firewood for the long winter and maintain contact with settlements on North Haven and Deer Isle. These people were hardy souls. We can speculate that they were marginally prosperous from one key artifact still visible today, a stone pier. Evidentially, they had experience working with large stones and some abundance of backbreaking labor. Perhaps sons, sons-in-law and neighbors from the community at the Little Thorofare helped construct this impressive structure. Did they own an ox? It is likely that the pier allowed these hardscrabble families to move goods and livestock to and from the island with relative ease.
Part of the fascination of this place is its past - stones walls, a cellar hole, a dug well and a wagon trail further the mystery of settlement on this rocky island in the middle of Penobscot Bay. The combination of micro-habitats (salt and freshwater wetlands), two rock highpoints and starkly different shores draw people and wildlife to this place just as it did 200 years ago.
Different Names and Numerous Suitors
Over time, the island has been identified by various names and undergone frequent changes in ownership. The remarkable resource, Islands of the Mid-Maine Coast, Volume I: Penobscot Bay (1997) by Charles and Carol McLane documents the presence of people on Babbidge Island from the late 1700s to the present day. We gleaned much of the following historical information about Babbidge from the McLanes' detailed writing of the island.
While the island's official name on maps has been Babbidge since the 1850s, it was first known as Island D on a 1785 map. By 1799, a deed designated the island as Ames Island and recorded its sale from James Cooper to William Merithew for $210. Nine years later, in 1808, Merithew sold the island "formerly Ames Island or Cooper's Island" to Ephraim Stinson for $500.
Within another decade, Ephraim Stinson died and his heirs sold half the island to Courtney Babbidge for $300. Ephraim's widow, Catherine, retained ownership of the remaining half of the island and then remarried to Courtney Babbidge. In Islands of the Mid-Maine Coast, authors Charles and Carol McLane wondered, "Were Ephraim Stinson and Courtney Babbidge both living on the island before Ephraim's death? Did Courtney marry his neighbor's widow out of compassion (he, too, was a widower)?" In addition, the authors noted a Babbidge family legend of an ancestor, perhaps Courtney, who lived on Babbidge Island and occasionally came to North Haven for supplies, dressed in a blue swallow-tailed coat with brass buttons and muttering: "There is only one Tory lives on Babbidge's Island." Deer Isle historian George Hosmer noted Courtney Babbidge was "a man of decided political opinions" and theorized perhaps his Toryism came late.
When Courtney Babbidge died in 1834, the family continued living on the island. A stepdaughter, Rebecca married George Shaw and the island came to be known as Shaw's Island. The 1840 census showed George Shaw with a household of eight, three males and five females. In 1847, the family sold the island to Melzar Waterman of North Haven.
Ten years later, Melzar Waterman sold the island to Ephraim Stimpson Jr. and Paul Sawyer for $800. Paul Sawyer may have been living there prior to the sale, as an 1849 North Haven town record reported Sawyer's Isle in the Little Thoroughfare. In 1858, Paul Sawyer sold his share of Babbidge Island to Ephraim Stimpson, just a year after the pair bought the island from Melzar Waterman. The 1859 Waldo County map which recorded names and location of island residences, showed no one living on Babbidge Island. Authors Charles and Carol McLane noted "the omission could be the surveyor's oversight, or it could mean that the island was in fact uninhabited for a few years."
From the 1860s to 1900, the island continued to change hands numerous times. It sold from Ephraim Stimpson to Seth Calderwood in 1862, then to John Smith in 1864, then to Otis B. Kent in 1874, and then to Hollis Leadbetter in 1900. Authors Charles and Carol McLane noted that none of these sales mentioned residents of the island. Still, an 1882 chart showed the presence of a well-established farm with house and barn, cleared fields, stonewalls, and a wagon road running from the center of the island to a pier on the northwestern shore. The McLanes theorized that members of the Stimpson family overflowed onto Babbidge and utilized it for additional farmland, leading to the island even being called Stimpson, despite another island of the same name nearby. By the time Hollis Leadbetter sold the island in 1906 to Mrs. Amey D. Peters, the deed described the island as "known by the name of Stinson, sometimes called Shaw's or Babbidge's."
Changing Little with the Times
Mrs. Peters spent summers on the island and built a small cottage on the west end. According to the McLanes, she allowed local farmers to pasture sheep on the island and thus kept the fields from growing up in trees. When Peters sold the island, her small cottage was moved to North Haven where it now belongs to Pat Curtis.
Charles K. Cobb (aka "Chick") purchased the island from Mrs. Peters in 1944. Chick and his wife, Elsie, would row over from their summer home at Mullen's Crick and spend the mornings working on the trails around and across the island. They used to keep a bottle on the mooring with paper inside for guests to sign their names when they stopped on Babbidge to picnic, walk the paths and swim.The conservation easement on Babbidge Island consists of "the right of public view of the Property from offshore in its natural, scenic, open and wooded condition." It limits the structures that may be erected (permitting tent platforms, outhouses and temporary structures, but no houses) and restricts the uses of the property, preserving it in its natural and scenic condition. Acadia monitors the easement on a regular basis.
In 2010, Acadia National Park hired an ecologist to collect baseline data regarding the vegetation and list the plant species and animal species present. The Cobb family has spotted deer, mink, squirrels, mice, snakes, sheep, the occasional territorial ram and six to eight kinds of warblers there. In recent years, bald eagles have nested there, in addition to ospreys.
The Cobb family has been working hard to develop a trail that hugs the perimeter of the island. Dan Cherneff (aka the "Savage from Babbidge") and friends nearly completed the loop trial in October 2013 and plan to return in the Spring to finish the job. Jack Cobb, Elsie and Chick's youngest son, notes that, "Babbidge's is an island of fulfillable dreams - all you need is a few sticks of wood and some nails," referencing the development of the family's campground.
Even when they are in residence, the family welcomes respectful visitors to the island for day trips. In 2012 and 2010, more than a dozen people participated in NHCP walks on Babbidge.
Two hundred years from now the island might be known by a different name and the owners may have changed. What we do know is that it will continue to be a safe haven for wildlife and a place that stirs one's imagination about living on a remote island.

After the tragic fiasco regarding the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD), I presume as a matter of course that the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front are incontact with its other.
As a contribution to any backdoor channeling, I address myself to both Moros and non-Moros, and those who claim to represent them.
The following, I believe, are the two fundamental bases for the forging of lasting peace in Mindanao. At the very beginning of any peace negotiation, there has to be a clear and explicit recognition, mutually accepted: (1) of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Philippines as enshrined in the Philippine Constitution; (2) of the Moro aspiration for self determination and its concrete realization in a manner in accord with the Philippine Constitution. It seems to me that these fundamental concepts are at lease implicitly accepted by both groups.
I believe that the lack of clarity in the MOA-AD with regard to the above two-fold fundamental concepts, aggravated by lack of consultation and reinforced by anger, misinformation, misconceptions, biases, prejudices, and resistance to change, led to the present grave uncertainties regarding the peace process.
The first postulate is clear to non-Moros. The second is not. For most of us the recognition of Moro self-determination and the Bangsamoro Juridical entity in which it is exercised are tantamount to giving away parts of Philippine territory and establishing a Moro independent State. It does not matter if there are several examples in the world, where self-determination is recognized and implemented without necessarily establishing an independent State and dismembering a Republic. It does not matter if the rejected MOA-AD does not in any way express such establishment or dismembering. Great anger and violence have resulted from this situation.
The non-Moro should begin with Moro history to understand Moro self-determination. It is undisputed that Islam was brought to the Philippines before the Spaniards came, even before there was such a name as "Philippines." It is undisputed that Muslim Sultanates exercised sovereignty and wielded political power over most of Mindanao, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu, a territory considerably larger than the present ARMM or the "expanded ARMM" that the MOA-AD envisions. It is undisputed that the demographic composition of the population and the subject of political authority in Mindanao were completely reversed from Moros to non-Moros within only the 50 years between 1920 to 1970, such that Moros became a minority in the large swath of territory over which they, through their Sultanates, once held sway.
We, therefore, need to accept the fact that the Moro aspiration for self-determination is based on indisputable recorded history Our historical consciousness needs to go back to the times of the southern Sultanates and the religion they professed. There we see a people from the Malay race but with a distinct religion and political identity. They had been part of the indigenous peoples who had converted to Islam. We know that the term "Moro" came much later in their history, introduced by Spanish colonizers to refer derogatively to the people who had the same religion as the Moors that had conquered southern Spain. Through the Sultanates this distinct people from various indigenous tribes held political sway, sovereignty, if one may use the term, over a territory covering most of Mindanao and Sulu. Through the Sultans they governed themselves. At documented periods and occasions, Moros expressed their aspiration for self-determination either by peaceful means or by armed interventions. This aspiration has endured through four centuries of relative peace and short periods of war. Restlessness for self-determination lies deep in the collective Moro subconscious. Like Rizal and the Filipino elite of their time, Moro scholars, intellectuals, writers, warriors and leaders kept this aspiration alive.
The desire for self-determination we recognize now as a fundamental right. It does not necessarily mean an independent State. It simply means as a common attribute of all peoples an option for self-government outside or within a national community. It is an option that is enduring, lying deep in the subconscious of the human community, part and parcel of that divine gift we call freedom, or self-determination. It does not die. It maybe dormant, it might be repressed, but sooner or later it will want to surface either in rebellion or in peaceful assertion. War will not defeat this fundamental human option. It cannot be killed. Without recognition and some form of implementation, peaceful co-existence is simply an artificial temporary veneer. That is the human condition, the condition of human communities with distinct cultures and identities, especially with a history of self-determination.
Recognizing that legitimate aspiration, we also need to recognize the realities that came during the American period of our history. Spain ceded the entire islands to the United States. It was the United States that eventually and effectively placed all the islands under its political power. Yet even the United States recognized the aspiration of the Moro people with the creation of a "Moro province." Historical records tell us that from time to time, Moro leaders would remind the ruling power of their right to self-determination, of not wanting to be under "Filipino" sovereignty.
But we cannot also escape the development of history. The historical reality is that the the United States, followed by the Philippine government, exercised political power over all of the Philippines. And so we have the concepts of national sovereignty and territorial integrity enshrined in successive Constitutions. Even if one might not accept the Constitution, the reality of national sovereignty and territorial integrity predates the Constitution which simply came later to express or articulate the reality.
These then are the two-fold realities that are fundamental to any peace negotiation: the recognition of Moro self-determination and the acceptance of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
These two concepts are not contradictory. They do not cancel each other out. One can exist with the other. It is the balancing and concrete implementing of these two fundamental postulates that is the central task of peace negotiating.

I used to dance.
I used to bend and stretch, leap and twirl… and fly.
I used to be free.
I used to be free in both body and mind, if just for that one hour.
I used to think simply.
I used to think of nothing but the steps, the music, the rhythm and the counts.
I used to be lovely.
I used to glisten and glow with the sweat of accomplishment, of pride, of exertion.
I used to be strong.
I used to be strong with deep breaths and sore muscles from a workout well done.
I used to be strong, in body and mind, strong enough to push myself and never cry for mercy.
I used to soar with a freedom that only youth can give you, rivers of sweat running down my back, instead of feathers.
Movement and strength were my armor
I used to dance.

New Orleans Piano Blues - Cousin Joe and Alton Purnell
Pleasant 'Cousin Joe' Joseph was born in Wallace Louisiana, about 38 minles up river from New Orleans.He was one of the finest of all blues lyricists and singers. He toured with all the jazz greats including Joe Robichaux, Billie and DeDe Pierce, Harold Dejan, te Merrow Bechet band and many more. These solo tracks date from September 1978 and were recorded at the PizzaExpress in London.
The second set of tracks if from Alton Purnell and were recorded in 1965 in Sydney, Australia! He was probably the most influential and copied pianist of the 'revival' period. He played throughout the 50s to the late 80s, and was the last link with the Bunk Johnson/Goerge Lewis era.
There are 11 tracks in each set - sit back and enjoy!

Jono Gibbes good to go
Ex-Leinster man landed on his feet in Clermont, says Brendan Fanning
As we speak it is 20 degrees and Jono Gibbes is sitting outside, enjoying a coffee after lunch. Clermont were preparing for yesterday's home tie with Oyonnax - renowned as the most obdurate team in the Top 14 - and their forwards coach was taking a moment, and thinking back to his time in Ireland.
"I tell you, I don't miss the weather," he says. "It's a massive difference here, especially where we are in this part of France. The climate is really dry and it's noticeable. That's one great aspect."
You have to laugh when Kiwis start slagging the Irish weather. Gibbes is from the Waikato, farming country on New Zealand's North Island. The last time we checked its climate wasn't on a par with Southern California, but at least they do get summers worthy of the name. He nearly fell off his chair when hearing of three straight days of lovely sunshine in Dublin last week.
"That'd be your complete summer then, eh?"
Safe to say Gibbes is living the life. Clermont Ferrand is a thriving city, and it's a 25-minute jaunt from his house near the Place de Jaude - the centre of celebrations when the team eventually brought home the Top 14 title, in 2010 - to the surrounding countryside where he can escape for some family time. The landscape, he says, is what you'd see on a drive from Cork up to Kilkenny.
Even those little spins into the Auvergne, with the missus and two kids, take a bit of planning though. He moved there from Leinster last summer, into a hectic environment where just three coaches run virtually the entire show from the Academy up, and in a longer season than he enjoyed in Ireland.
But it's working. Currently Clermont are on course for another top-four finish on the domestic front, with four rounds to go. And in the Champions Cup their fourth straight semi-final, against Saracens on Saturday, promises to be one of the great days in European competition.
"The environment that we play in there will be very positive for us," he says. "It's an hour and 25 minutes up the road and 90 per cent of the crowd will be ours. It's a great venue but unfortunately it's only the 15 guys against the other 15 guys in the middle who'll determine if it's a great occasion or not. Sarries are a team who believe in what they do. Obviously that was rewarded in the quarters in Racing so they'll have no apprehensions about coming over to France to play us. They're confident and they should be. It'll be a great atmosphere, but we need to be focused on what needs to be done on the field."
International Rugby Newsletter
He sounds like he has been there a while. You wonder how different a man Gibbes was walking in the door of Stade Marcel Michelin having had six years in Leinster, with five trophies won alongside three coaches. Having arrived in Dublin uptight about his lack of coaching hours, surely the experience gave him a head start in France?
"Some similar reservations, even now, despite my time at Leinster," he says. "Coming into a new environment it's about the same stuff: trying to prove that you can add value really; trying to build relationships with the players; trying to understand the climate you're operating in. So the same anxieties and trepidations."
Can he imagine having done it the other way around - starting in France with neither the coaching experience nor language?
"Ehh, it would have been very difficult. Especially at this club where the expectation is so high - the consistency they've had; the quality of international players they've had. It's a real challenge to show you can add something to them."
And it is a whole different environment. At Leinster, Gibbes might have seen 50 faces come in and out during the course of a season that has four games less than the French domestic programme. It's possible that Clermont's body count might climb to the low 40s this term, but only because they have got to the business end of European competition. Only the grizzled veterans need apply.
"It's a difficult team for the kids to break in to," he says. "Leinster use an enormous amount of players and it's a reflection of having only four pro teams in the country, plus they have a heavy representation in the national group, the player welfare programme - all those different factors create an opportunity for Leinster academy kids to get in and have an opportunity. But there's a strong youth programme here, certainly similar to all the other Top 14 teams. It's a big country with a big number of players but it's probably not packaged as tidily as in Ireland: school; local academy; professional; national. It's not as streamlined, but for them to be part of ASM is a big deal. The club is a big part of the town's identity.
"That's the thing about the Top 14, it's such a hard tournament with 26 games and whoa! If you spend all your time trying to coach development level kids to try and understand it, it would just be too much. That's the benefit of bringing in an international level player. You can short cut a few things.
"So for example Nick Abendanon, Noa Nakaitaci and Zac Guildford - international level players - if you say to them: 'Look, let's make sure we have a back-three field defence,' they get it. That's the reality of the competition. It would be nice to sprinkle in a little bit of development among the seasoned internationals but it's a difficult challenge trying to work out what an easy game is. The reality in the Top 14 is there aren't any."
You'd say there shouldn't be any walkovers in the closing stages of Europe either, but at this stage least season Saracens humiliated Clermont. The 46-6 scoreline was the biggest landslide in a semi-final in 20 years of the premier European competition. That they are together again in Saint Etienne on Saturday is a bonus.
So too for Clermont is the fact that Gibbes is now in their corner. Having someone on their staff who knows what it takes to win these games must spread some assurance.
"It's funny, I've worked with great head coaches and learned a lot off them and I think the consistent things for those three (Heineken) victories was that it's about what you do each day throughout the whole season. That's what gives you confidence. That's probably one of the things we're trying to drive here: let's be good each day, each session. Those are the things that will hold us in good stead for massive occasions like the quarter-final and the semi-final. You try and emphasise the positive behaviours on the field, and give them confidence because that's what got you there."
And the weather will be good too. A hot sun on their backs and a team on top of their game. Gibbes's move to France is looking every bit as good as his decision to take Michael Cheika's offer back in 2008.
"I love it," he says. "I do. And the atmosphere here on Saturday against Northampton was unbelievable. It was incredible. It was like . . . I've had a couple of those: Croke Park against Munster; Clermont away in Bordeaux; but that one last weekend was pretty special. Those are the things that are really enjoyable."

Okay folks – you need to stop what you're doing and check out today's post. Lindsey and Jake's surreal southern wedding was one of our favorites of 2012. Lindsey was a stunning bride – her lace dress was gorgeous and we loved the side braid in her hair. Her handsome beau, Jake matched his beautiful bride with his khaki vest and coral rose boutonniere. Soft vintage details and the charming setting that is CJ's Off the Square pulls the whole look together. Seriously – words cannot do this wedding justice. Every part of their day was simply gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
The ultra talented team of Zach + Jody Gray took the awesome shots below. You can see more from Lindsey and Jake's day at CJ's Blog. It was such a pleasure to work with you both on this, the most special of days. Here's to many happy, happy years ahead. Congratulations! 🙂

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Two millennia after the "Gospel of the family" defeated an abusive social practice that humiliated women, the "radical equality" of spouses in Christian marriage must now bear "new fruit" in society, including "the right to equal pay for equal work," said Pope Francis.
This "disparity" between men and women in the workplace is "a pure scandal," Pope Francis said April 29 during his weekly general audience.
Continuing a series of audience talks about marriage, the pope began by saying Jesus demonstrated his great fondness and solicitude for marriage and family when he changed water into wine at the wedding at Cana.
The love between man and woman in marriage is "God's masterpiece," the pope said, straying from his prepared remarks. Though Jesus' message to married couples is always the same, "many things have changed" since then, he said.
Today there are fewer marriages, more marriage breakups, and fewer children, the pope noted. Family and marital bonds are broken with "always greater frequency and speed," and children are always "the biggest victims," he said.
The pope said that if a person, since childhood, experiences marriage as a temporary bond, then "unconsciously" he or she will tend to live that way, too.
Though young people rank family first as a social indicator for happiness, he said, many give up on the idea of "an irrevocable bond" and of a long-lasting family life.
"For fear of failure, many do not even want to think about (marriage)," Christian youth included, he said.
"I believe we need to reflect with great seriousness about why many young people 'don't feel' like getting married," the pope said. Why do they "often prefer cohabitation" and why do "they have so little faith in marriage and family?"
The pope dismissed economic difficulties as a major factor, "even if these are truly serious."
The argument that marriage has changed in recent decades because of women's emancipation "is not valid either," he said.
"This is an insult. It is not true," he added, straying again from his prepared remarks. "It is a form of chauvinism that wants to dominate the woman" and that follows in the footsteps of Adam who blamed Eve because he ate the apple.
"Poor woman," the pope said. "We must defend women."
"In reality," the pope continued, "almost all men and women would like permanent emotional security, a solid marriage and a happy family."
The pope said the fear of failure in marriage is perhaps "the greatest obstacle to welcoming the word of Christ, who promises his grace on the marital bond and on the family."
"The most effective witness to the blessing of marriage is the good life of Christian spouses and their families. There is no better way to communicate the beauty of the sacrament," he said.
"Marriage, consecrated by God, safeguards that bond between man and woman that God has blessed since the creation of the world, and it is the fount of peace and goodness for marital and family life," he added.
The pope also spoke of "an abuse" at the time of the early Christians, "which was the right of husbands to repudiate their wives, even with the most pretentious and humiliating reasons." This practice was "then considered to be normal," he said.
"The Gospel of the family, the Gospel that proclaims this sacrament (of marriage) had defeated this culture of habitual repudiation," he added off the cuff.
"The Christian seed of radical equality between spouses must today produce new fruit," he continued.
"Therefore, as Christians, we have to become more demanding in this respect. For example, backing to the right to equal pay for equal work; the disparity is a pure scandal!" he said. "At the same time, we must recognize the motherhood of women and the fatherhood of men as a treasure that is always precious, especially for the children's benefit."
He urged Christians to be unafraid to invite Jesus to their "wedding feast" and into their homes, so that Jesus may "safeguard the family."
"When Christians marry 'in the Lord,'" he continued, "they are transformed into an efficacious sign of God's love. Christians do not marry only for themselves; they marry in the Lord for the benefit of the whole community, all of society."
