My daughter bought me a "Diamond Lily" for my birthday. It seems to be related to the spider lilies but it is pink with sparkles like diamonds on the petals and blooms later in the season. Our trees (three varieties of maple) are not so colorful this year ... maybe due to the hot dry summer.

Divorce and remarriage. Is it really adultary?
The real institution of marriage
Let us take a brief look on the first marriage. Adam and Eve were the first married couple mentioned in the bible. They were the first to receive the law concerning how to live as husband and wife. This is what God said to them in Genesis 2:18-25,
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
- We see that God understood that Adam needed a helper. A womans job is to help meet the needs of the house in every way. Woman is also God's gift to man because God knew that man couldn't do it alone.
- There is someone for everyone. There is no such thing as "I was meant to be single"or "there is no one for me" or marriage isn't for me" OR I don't do well with relationships." God caused Adam to go into a deep sleep and took his rib and created woman. For every man out there, there is a woman for you.
- When Eve was created, she was bone of Adam's bone and flesh of Adam's flesh. When we get married, we become the flesh and bone of each other. If this were not true, God wouldn't have commanded that Adam leave his father's and mother's home and cleave unto his wife so they can become one flesh.
- There shall be no secrets in marriage. The scripture says they were naked and were not ashamed. They were not ashamed of one another nor their imperfections.
Laws Concerning Marriage
Concerning Priests
Leviticus 21
7 " 'They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God.
8 Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. Consider them holy, because I the LORD am holy—I who make you holy.
13 " 'The woman he marries must be a virgin.
14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people,
15 so he will not defile his offspring among his people. I am the LORD, who makes him holy.'"
Concerning Sexual Sins
Leviticus 20
7 " 'Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. 8 Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
9 " 'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.
10 " 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
11 " 'If a man sleeps with his father's wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
12 " 'If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads.
13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
14 " 'If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you.
15 " 'If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
16 " 'If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
17 " 'If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has dishonored his sister and will be held responsible.
18 " 'If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.
19 " 'Do not have sexual relations with the sister of either your mother or your father, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of you would be held responsible.
20 " 'If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will be held responsible; they will die childless.
21 " 'If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless.
22 " 'Keep all my decrees and laws and follow them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.
23 You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
24 But I said to you, "You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations.
You can explore the book of Leviticus in detail. That book is all the do's and don't concerning marriage. Please let us not forget that one of the ten commandments is, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
Is it really a sin to get divorced?
This is a question for the ages. Many women and men of the faith often have this question especially when things are not so perfect in their marriages. It is a question that can be debated by the best theologians and marriage counselors alike. I think the question should be, ho does God really feel about divorce?
We will use a lot of biblical reference for this, so please take a minute to grab your bibles as we explore how God views marriage and divorce.
We will start with Malachi 2:11-15
11 Judah has broken faith. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves, by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.
12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD cut him off from the tents of Jacob even though he brings offerings to the LORD Almighty.
13Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.
14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty.
So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
This passage of scripture explained when Judah decided to marry outside of their faith. Paul mentions the same thing in 2 Corinthians 6:14 when he said,
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
Paul further explains this in the case of married couples who are yoked together with unbelievers in 1 Corinthians 7:12-16
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
We can clearly see that Paul wants us to keep the peace because he knows how much God hates divorce. But God on the other hand hates divorce because it is an act of breaking a covenant. When any of us get married, we openly make a covenant with our spouse as well as God. Its one thing to break covenant with each other, but its a who other issue to break covenant with God. You see in the scripture in Malachi, the people flooded the alter with tears because they felt as though God wasn't hearing them and accepting their sacrifices.
In fact, God heard every cry. But just like us parents, when a child is crying (due to their own fault), what do we do? We let them cry and encourage them to never do it again. Some of us may even ground our children depending on the severity of the crime. Same with God, their punishment lasted over 400 years. Israel recently became an independent nation in the 1940s.
No reason is good enough for divorce other than adultery!!
I'll say this right now, if your marriage is in trouble, do not commit adultery just to get out of it. The adulterer suffers greatly because of the sin. This is what the bible says about committing adultery:
Leviticus 20:10
" 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
Proverbs 6:32
But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
Jeremiah 3:8
I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.
Jeremiah 3:9
Because Israel's immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.
Jeremiah 5:7
"Why should I forgive you? Your children have forsaken me and sworn by gods that are not gods. I supplied all their needs, yet they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.
Jeremiah 23:14
And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah."
Ezekiel 16:38
I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed blood; I will bring upon you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger.
Ezekiel 23:37
for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them.
Ezekiel 23:43
Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, 'Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is.'
Ezekiel 23:45
But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood, because they are adulterous and blood is on their hands.
We clearly see that out of this sin called adultery, there is a punishment for it.

What does Jesus say about divorce?
Jesus said in the gospels that divorce is only applicable in the case of fornication.
Hebrew: zanah / Greek: porneia
Fornication is voluntary sexual intercourse between a man and woman who are not married to each other. Adultery is one type of fornication.
In every form, fornication was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law among God's people, the Israelites (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20-11, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16). (See ADULTERY.)
Fornication is also mentioned many times in the New Testament (Matt. 5:32; 19:9; John 8:41; Acts 15:20, 29; 21:25; Rom. 1:29; 1 Cor 5:1, 6:13, 18, 7:2; 10:8; 2 Cor 12:21; Gal 5:19; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1 Thess. 4:3; Jude 1:7; Rev. 2:14, 20-21; 9:21; 14:8; 17:2,4).
"The Greek word for 'fornication' (porneia) could include any sexual sin committed after the betrothal contract. …In Biblical usage, 'fornication' can mean any sexual congress outside monogamous marriage. It thus includes not only premarital sex, but also adultery, homosexual acts, incest, remarriage after un-Biblical divorce, and sexual acts with animals, all of which are explicitly forbidden in the law as given through Moses (Leviticus 20:10-21). Christ expanded the prohibition against adultery to include even sexual lusting (Matthew 5:28)." (Dr. Henry M. Morris) To piggyback off this statement by the Dr., porneia is also uncovering the nakedness of another person such as viewing pornography, paying for sex, and a host of other fleshly desires that are not condusive to the natural marriage.
The word "fornication" is sometimes used in a symbolic sense in the Bible, for example, meaning a forsaking of God or a following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2; 2:1-5; Jer. 3:8-9).
When I researched the term fornication these are the terms it told me to see.
- See ADULTERY
- See IDOLATRY, LICENTIOUS PRACTICES OF
- See INCEST
- See LUST
- See RAPE
- See SENSUALITY
- See SODOMY
- See WHORE
- See WHOREDOM
according to the online bible dictionary.
Jesus Exact Words
Mathew 19Divorce
1When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan.
2Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'
5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?
6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
7"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
8Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
11Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriagebecause of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

My thoughts.......
If I were to sum this whole hub up into one thought, it is absolutely a sin to divorce. It is a sin to commit adultery. It is a sin to go against the word of God period. The only way a divorce is permitted is adulery was committed. All these divorced couples divorcing for irreconcilable differences, (because they just can't get along), NOT SUITABLE FOR DIVORCE. If anyone can dispute these facts, please do leave a comment. Let us debate lovingly.
Divorce and the church
I just reviewed a book that holds out the view that if any of four vows (that 'apostles' beating of wife is definitely one of them!) are broken given in the Old Testament, the offended party can divorce, but forgiveness is preferable. Great book. Adultery is a sin, not divorce it holds. Sin leads to divorce, but again divorce is not a sin. God divorced Israel at one point. Clearly God does not sin. But He can cut off (divorce) any sinner. He prefers forgiveness through Christ our Lord's sacrifice at Calvery.
When I was growing up divorce was not allowed in the church, no matter what.
People who were got saved and already divorced and remarried were told to go back to their first spouces, breaking up many familied. It wasn't until a lot of pastors and ministers started divorcing their wives, that divorce was no longer condemned across the pulpit in Pentecostal and Holiness churches.
I know of a few pastors personally (saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost), who beat their wives. One wife would come to church with a black eye. Finally her husband (Apostle)was arrested when he punched her in the face so hard, it broke her eye socket.
I believe that marriage is a covenant by all means you should try to make it work except, if there is adultry or the women or children are in physical or emotional danger, (emotional or sexual abuse). A woman has a right to protect herself and her children.
I personally have been marriage for 20 years to my one and only husband.
Wow, I am not exactly religious and i'm feeling way out of my depth here. I agree in principle that a man and woman who choose to get married must stay married. Not the least for religious reasons. yet there are times when a divorce is the only way out for a woman specially in an abusive relationship, so I don't feel that the choice should be denied.
Only Adam was created and Eve was not equal to Adam.
That means that all men are not created equal or it means that all men are created equal and women not as equal as men.

CHRISTMAS came early for people at a Wearside care home when school pupils treated them to a slap-up lunch.
Youngsters from Castle View Enterprise Academy served up the three-course meal to about 60 residents from St Margaret's Court care home and people who live nearby.
The annual lunch has been held at the academy since it opened in 2009 and also included singing from the school's choir.
It is part of the mayor's award, which sees those taking part learn new skills, help others and take part in various activities in their own time.
Lead technician at Castle View Enterprise Academy, Colin Reed, said it is character building for the pupils as it helps them to gain skills and hobbies, and pay service to the community.
He said: "They worked really well to make it happen.
"They were decorating the room from about 10am, and they served the lunches to the old people.
"This counts towards the mayor's award, which they will hopefully have by the summer."
Teacher Jackie Smith added: "Everybody said they enjoyed the Christmas lunch.
"And the older people have loved being with the young people as well, and it shows the young people in a good light."
A raffle was held as part of the festivities, and representatives from Sainsbury's attended dressed up in festive costumes including a reindeer, Christmas tree and donkey and gave each of the St Margaret's residents a present.
Ann Prosen, 69, said: "We had a lovely meal and spoke to a few of the pupils.
"It's the third year we have been and it is very nice."
Audrey Simpson, 79, added: "It's like a family thing really – it's a community thing.
"It has been a nice day."
Year nine pupil Eleesha Jaffrey, 13, enjoyed helping out. She said: "It has been a busy day. We spend time with the old people throughout the year – they are friendly and we enjoy it."
Andrew Chapman, 14, also in Year nine, said: "We served them the food and set up the room, and some people helped to make the mince pies and truffles, and one of the girls dressed up as a turkey.
"They seemed to enjoy it, and we really did."

Okay, enough of that. You get the point.
This summer has already been one busy bee and we still have a couple of months remaining. Which is good I guess. It was slow as molasses last year, for the better part. Then again, my "busy" might be slightly different from your "busy".
It's also been a sad one too, or at least, it has had its sad moments. A friend of mine on Facebook lost her twenty-one year old son and honestly, that is really heartbreaking. A couple other friends of mine here in my town have lost their fathers in recent weeks and days.
My summer adventure began back in March when I decided to close down one of my banking accounts in one county and move it to a bank in my own county - a little closer to me. That was a bit of a job in itself. After a couple of complications I finally was able to do it. The whole process took a couple of weeks or so.
I took a week just to draft my fantasy football teams this year.
Then I had a final spat with my mother and little sister. It wasn't really a spat as it was just a white flag I decided to raise and move on with my life without them because I simply got tired of the crap. It's a sad day when your family would rather have no contact with you than have a relationship where they have to show you the least bit of respect. It's like, if they have to respect you then they prefer not to have you around. But I finally realized that this was the case and I decided to walk away. I miss the kids something awful, but I could never respect myself if I hadn't finally gave in to the truth. I hung in there for as long as I could. Me and my family have a long standing history of butting heads and conflict. Why? I may never know the whole truth. My theory is that it has something to do with my writing - or at least a good portion of it is cause. Another theory is that some are still not pleased with me standing up to my brother the way I did some 20+ years ago. He was (maybe still is) the shit. Everybody loves my brother despite him being a conman and an ex-convict. He is not a good man. But for some reason, the rest of the family still insist sticking their nose right up his backside.
I went on a five day vacation with my adopted daughter, taking her to see a couple of lighthouses. She really enjoyed it. I did too. We had a lot of fun. It was something she has wanted to do since around last September but her parents didn't have enough vacation time on the books to take her so they asked me and well, since I had nothing else going on, I caved. lol
I have construction going on at home in my living room. I can't even begin to remember the last time I have been out shopping with friends as much as I have this summer. Almost twice a week I find myself getting together with friends and going shopping. I'm buying all the things that have piled up on my "to do" and "to get" list. New shoes, boots, pants, shirts, electronics, you name it. I'm starting to lose my "cheap ass" label. lol
I have also been to a few meetings with various companies and people. Some in the music industry. Anyone who knows me knows I hate appointments. I haven't used an alarm clock for twelve plus years now. I go to sleep when I am tired and wake up when I wake up. I did not use an alarm clock for these meetings because luckily, they were scheduled around noon or later. I am up these days between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM. If there's one silver lining about my heart attack it's that I'm not as tired anymore as I was the few years leading up to my heart attack. I have more energy these days and have been able to pretty much keep a constant schedule that enables me to interact in a more normal manner.
So all of this and helping out my friends with some projects has kept me somewhat busy this summer. I have worked in some new posts for my blogs that I have scheduled leading up into October whenever I could just because I couldn't see when I would have definite time to keep up with my blogs. That's how busy it has been. It is easy for me to forget about my blogs sometimes. I really have to make a conscious effort to address them.
Well, that's about it. For now. I'm hoping at this point that these shootings going on in America will stop soon. I think my country has spilled enough blood this year. Please people, stop with the killing. It's getting us nowhere - but dead.
It really has been a busy and cruel summer. (But it's had its good moments too) Although, I had conflicting emotions about our fireworks show having been cancelled due to the weather.

Tesco, Britain's biggest retailer, met forecasts with a 4.1 percent rise in underlying third-quarter UK sales on Tuesday and said its new U.S. stores had been "very well received" by customers.
Finance Director Andrew Higginson told Reuters that British shoppers were becoming more cautious following a string of interest rate rises and higher fuel costs, and called on the Bank of England to cut rates "sooner rather than later."
But he added that Tesco was doing well in the tougher trading environment thanks to its focus on low prices, and the supermarket group was taking market share in a range of non-food items such as televisions, health and beauty products.
"When you do see markets slow a little bit, you tend to see a bit of a gap between winners and losers," he said in a telephone interview, adding he was "quite pleased with the way Christmas is shaping up at the moment."
Tesco, which runs over 3,200 stores across the world and opened its first shop in the United States last month, said sales, excluding fuel, at UK stores open at least a year, rose 4.1 percent in the 13 weeks to Nov. 24.
This was up from 2.4 percent in the second quarter and compared with analysts' forecasts of 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent, according to a Reuters poll of five brokerages.
Total sales were up 11.8 percent, including a 25.7 percent rise in international sales.
"Today's results are testimony of Tesco's resilient business model: there are not many companies delivering these like-for-like sales in the current UK retail environment," Numis Securities analysts wrote in a research note.
Spread-betters Cantor Index said Tesco shares were set to open at 490-491 pence, versus Monday's close of 487.75 pence.
Fresh & Easy
Higginson was confident about the group's new Fresh & Easy U.S. stores, but added it was too early to tell whether shoppers would embrace the new convenience store format, with a focus on fresh foods, own-label products and self-service checkouts.
Tesco is the world's third-biggest retailer behind U.S. group Wal-Mart and France's Carrefour. But it makes about 80 percent of sales and profits from its 2,000 stores in Britain, where it takes about one in every eight pounds spent by shoppers and one in three spent in supermarkets.
Britain's retailers are generally struggling as indebted shoppers cut back on spending following a string of interest rate increases. Electrical goods retailer DSG warned last week that consumer confidence across Europe was fragile.
From its roots in groceries, Tesco has branched out to sell everything from clothes and DVDs to insurance and mobile phones.
It now employs more than 450,000 people across the world and is in the midst of a hotly anticipated rollout of Fresh & Easy convenience stories on the West Coast of the United States.
Tesco shares have outperformed the DJ Stoxx European retail index by 9 percent this year.

Lydia McLaughlin may not have expected a huge send-off as she exits The Real Housewives of Orange County, but she at least hoped for one goodbye. She learned the hard way that there is one golden rule in the world of the Real Housewives: out of camera shot, out of mind.
After announcing that she would not be returning to the show for another season, Lydia thought she would be bombarded by well-wishes from her former costars. No such luck. While attending the TV Guide Magazine Hot List Party in Hollywood hours after the news broke, she told reporters that she hadn't heard a peep from the ladies even after reaching out to them directly.
She has certainly endured a lot of cattiness during her single season on the Bravo hit, but this takes the cake. No call. No email. Not even a tweet from her so-called besties. This should prove what kind of friends they REALLY are. Lydia being the sweet, if not naive, person she always is tried to make an excuse for the rudeness. "A lot of them that are still filming are on a trip to Hawaii," she explained. "So hopefully the news just broke today and I texted all of them, so maybe I have a couple of text messages. I don't know yet."
Yea right. Like they don't have immediate Google alerts on all Real Housewives news, especially ones involving their city. They know. They just don't care. So if she had any doubts about whether leaving the show was a good idea, this should answer the questions. She's better off living her life outside the viper pit.
Are you surprised by how the other Real Housewives are treating Lydia?

According to the NYTimes, the Cupcake Firmware Update isn't really an official Firmware Update at all. In that sense, Cupcake doesn't exist. Instead, Cupcake is a developmental tool. According to a Google spokesperson:
"Cupcake is a tool that we are using to develop future versions of Android"
So it looks like Cupcake won't be delivered to G1 Users in one shot, but rather, continuous firmware updates. How do you guys feel about this? Is a slow trickle of updates good enough for ya? Will RC33 hold you guys over?

I'm just about to finish the first draft of Children of Space (if I finally keep that title). I guess I will have finished it in one or two days.
Then I have the job to review, beta read it, and edit it. I'm sure I'll have to rewrite several sections. But, that's how it works (at least for me).

I have a friend who lives near to the river Soar where the procession route of the cortege will pass. She tells we that there has been frenzied activity in the last week or so to make the area look "sparkling" to the world. For example, bridges lamp posts and bus stops painted afresh, grass cut neatly round daffodils,new fences to hide waste land,graffiti removed,new shrubs and flowers.

A small but growing part of me is convinced that I am secretly meant to be alone and, God hasn't had the heart to tell me yet. That I'm just a little too…or a little not enough…or the wrong kind of crazy to have a life compatible with anyone else's.
I'm proud of my life. But it's taken me so long to get to a place of function, and now that I'm here it takes all of my effort not to slide back into oblivion. I'm not moving forward. In the ocean of life, my epic odyssey is a doggie paddle to keep head above water.
I can't help but be envious of the team rowers and the synchronized swimmers who don't seem fazed by wind or wave. That's right, in this analogy we're all in the ocean. And I'm the one who is not-drowning.
You know that kid, right? That one who is swimming ok until she unexpectedly splashes water into her own face and assumes she is drowning. She will flail against her own flailing until she realizes she has never been in danger, and announces more to herself than the unconcerned crowd that she is ok. She'll scan the horizon for one expression of relief to connect with – one SOUL who cares that she is alive – one SOUL to be her MATE – because she believes that is EXACTLY what a spark of eye contact on the damp surface of her unstable existence would indicate. She'll find the horizon empty every time.
That's me.
Spaz in the water.

Hey guys!
I'm really excited to be here on the NCIS: New Orleans Wiki. I have been a fan of NCIS for several years. I never really got into NCIS: LA, but I have a feeling I'm going to like this new spin-off. After watching both parts of Crescent City, I think the team has a strong build and the show will be successful.
I'm also an admin and bureaucrat on the Under the Dome Wiki. I guess you could say I like most CBS shows.
Anyway, I can't wait for the show to start. It will be fun contributing to the wiki over the upcoming season and beyond. Thanks!

The Hizb ut Tahrir is a UK based Islamic organization , it has been considered an 'organization of concern' by the British Home Office for at least five years . Even then the HuT managed to get huge amounts of money from the British Government for its foundation to set up schools to teach the Hizb ideology and Arabic to children from the age of 3.
HuT was founded in 1953 , the initial aim was to "fight assimilation" into British society. Their system of choice is a global Islamic super state, or "caliphate", which has no boundaries in Muslim countries and then the rest of the world. They believe that Muslims believing in democracy are Kafirs or apostates. It wants all Muslims to stay away from non-Muslims and boycott "corrupt" British elections and the political process. This is a very rigid stance to take for the organization particularly more unbelievable as they are based in the UK , such an attitude would only limit Muslims and turn them into aliens .
Certain questions were raised in Pakistan about their patronage. The British at times looked very suspicious to the Pakistan government , in June 2011 twelve British trainers, deployed at FC training center near Quetta and 6 Americans, were ordered to leave Pakistan. These trainers would aggressively oppose the use of Frontier Constabulary against Baluchi insurgents.
This decision was taken at the 9 Corps Commanders Conference. The British enjoy better bilateral relations with the Pakistan government but were found operating on American directions. It was suspected that the MI6 tried to infiltrate Pakistani security institutions.
Brigadier Ali Khan was arrested in connection with these developments. "Brigadier Ali was a patriotic and respectable officer but British intelligence disguised as Hizb ut Tahrir tried to get closer to him and he could not identify it," said an official. Pakistani intelligence had ample evidence that MI6 agents were influencing the Hizb ut Tahrir. Interestingly, in that same time period , British think-tanks raised a debate that who would the British trained FC support in case of cross-border raids.
This understandably raised alarm in the Pakistan army and the trainers were sent back. Their NOCs providing access to Joint Staff Headquarters were revoked, during this expulsion process many foreign agents were identified and politely asked to leave .
Pakistan Army was being set-up with the use of created characters to show army links with militants and a threat to the nuclear arsenal , fortunately this was terminated successfully. The Hizb may also have links with the TTP ,the Pakistani Taliban and other anti -Pakistan camps . So the Hizb ut Tahrir agenda is more agreeable to Western agencies and not the Muslim world.
In June 2011, Major Gen.Athar Abbas disclosed that the arrested Brigadier Ali Khan and four other detained majors were questioned about their HuT links. At the very least, the Hut's aim was to defame Pakistan army in some manner and break the military discipline maybe in the form of mutiny.
Pakistani intelligence found something dangerous and mysterious about it and it was banned as early as 2003, the MI6 refused to condemn it even though Arab and Central Asian countries also banned it . The Hut penetrated their armies too to attempt and bring about governments of its choice by pushing the pan-Arabic spin. The Hizb ut Tahrir is still legal in the UK and going strong , they want a global Islamic state, or caliphate and have an estimated one million followers worldwide, according to The New Statesman.
It is also reputed to be linked with the Muslim Brotherhood which has long been used to weaken governments in the Middle East. This week the HuT set an emotional trap for Pakistanis.They protested in thousands outside the Al-Aqsa mosque appealing to Pakistan Army to redeem the holy city from Jewish 'filth '.
This rally was interestingly permitted by Israeli authorities and covered extensively by its media .
They chanted "O the army of Pakistan! Come for the sake of the rule of the Koran! O nation of millions! Awaken to support your religion! O our imprisoned Al-Aqsa Mosque! We bear the glad tidings of liberation!"
"This is the call of Hizb ut-Tahrir: Advance with your mighty army to Jerusalem. You are worthy of the honor of liberating it," The sheer irony that Israel allowed this protest in which innocent Palestinians participated with enthusiasm was a warning signal . The rally proved that Pakistan is immensely popular and the last hope of the Palestinians but the dark reality was that it was also a set-up by Israel and HuT and Pakistan could smell the conspiracy . It is quite obvious who funded the rally , the plan may be to break down boundaries of Muslim nations and discourage nationalism so that they cannot resist the coming of the New World Order .
The origin of the HuT is largely unknown and shrouded in mystery , its initial source of funding is still a well-kept secret. The leaders of the HUT hold very hurtful views about our Quaid Jinnah, Hizbut Tahrir,s magazine Khilafah was founded by the Syrian militant Umar Bakri.
He said this about the founder of Pakistan in the December 1996 issue:
"Jinnah defies Allah… Jinnah went one step further than most traitors, the man also has the audacity to justify his Kufr actions by Islam" . And further "How dare this man associate a Kufr concept such as democracy with our Prophet (saw)". The Quaid was accused of "inner secularism" as a Hindu was in Pakistan's first cabinet.
The August 1947 speech was also condemned in which Jinnah requested tolerance for minorities.
The article ended with "These are only some of the examples where Jinnah clearly defied Allah (SWT) and chose the way of the Kafir over the way of the Prophet (saw)".
Akbar S Ahmed, former British High Commission in the UK , wrote in his book Islam under Siege: Living Dangerously in Post-Honour World. "In Britain, Sheikh Umar Bakri's Khilafah, the journal of the Hizbut Tahrir, attacked Jinnah as a kafir and an insult for a Muslim. Moreover, it accused Jinnah of being an enemy of God and of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) because Jinnah supported women, Christians and Hindus, and advocated democracy. Why, I asked myself, did they pick on Jinnah? Because, I concluded, Bakri saw him as a major ideological opponent. Significantly, after the American strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan in 1998, Bakri emerged in the media to claim that he represented Bin Laden in Europe"
How can such an organization be acceptable to any Pakistani when they hold the Father of the Nation in such contempt ?
Today Hizb ut-Tahrir is active in 40 countries and banned in most of them , they claim to work for a global Muslim caliphate but their reality is much more destructive.

After stalling out several times, we finally were able to set a date for a picnic out at Tomales Bay for oysters and actually I'm glad we waited because the weather was perfect (it's tough to get 9 people to agree on anything). The sun was bright but there was always a refreshing cool breeze.
It's almost summer and impossible to book at table at our long-time favorite Hog Island Oyster farm, where we have enjoyed some memorable feasts… Never mind though, because a couple of miles down the road is the Tomales Bay Oyster Company. They have a similar view of the bay and a much larger selection of tables – some are grouped along a shady terrace and others are tucked over in a separate nook behind the oyster shack for your own private beach. What's nice about Tomales Bay Oyster Co, is that the tables are free (versus Hog Island which charges $10 per person), although the tables are first come first served. The seafood prices are more reasonable than Hog Island and their menu includes mussels, but not the tiny, delicate kumamotos that Mr. K loves so much.
The Kumamotos are expensive too at slightly less than a $1 each, but Mr. K drove over to Hog Island to pick them up because he's just like that. They are so much easier to shuck and are plump and sweet, and secretly I know that I love them because Kumamoto is close to where my dear departed granny is from, the southern end of the southernmost island in Japan.
Here is one simply dressed with some lemon, a couple drops of tabasco and lightly dusted with fresh cracked black pepper.
We got a bag of 50 small oysters from Tomales Bay Oysters which were pretty big in comparison. They seemed ragged and gnarly, encrusted with barnacles and even some tiny mussels and much harder to shuck. My theory? The larger size means that the little bivalve has greater strength to hold tight against being pried open by hungry predators…
We got one round shucked and dressed and then onto the grill for my version of Oystahs Rockefeller. Actually we came up with the name lemon creams, but oysters rockefeller sounds so glamorous. Getting the shells open was quite a struggle… Mr. K almost speared the palm of his hand and our shucker staff all resigned.
The recipe is simple – whipping cream with lemon zest, shallots, fresh tarragon and parsley and finished with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
But we finally learned by watching the other people that it is better to put the whole oyster on the grill where it steams in its own juices and they open much easier, sometimes popping open of their own accord. It seems to be the way nature intended.
The flesh was sweet and succulent and the flavor is unforgettably fresh.
but then again, they tasted pretty good drizzled with the cream sauce, which rendered the mollusks a feast fit for at least the minor deities.
I also made steamed garlic clams (click for the recipe here), they are so easy to throw together on the grill.
The garlicky broth is really good to dunk thick crusty baguettes into. Suzywoo got an extra special clam that included a baby crab! That crab was less than a quarter inch in width and looked like a bug.
Chris and Amy brought some marinated kalbi that he was able to cook perfectly on the grill, it had the right amount of char and caramelization.
It made for a fabulous mixed grill plate for those who preferred turf over surf… and here is DDR expertly cutting the kalbi into bite sized finger food.
Of course with that group we had plenty of sweets to round out the meal, including some fresh fruit from my CSA weekly box. The apricots and cherries are at the top of their form right about now.
Stuffed beyond belief, we headed home, while our crazy friends headed to the Cowgirl Creamery in search of ice cream… I brought an extra sack of the manila clams home and found a couple more that had the tiny hobo crabs on board.
These were larger than the one Suzywoo found and more crablike than buglike.
Unfortunately, they were a little too small to eat and I wished that we could have put them in our aquarium instead of the saute pan….

We also spend time talking about what a whisper is. The students know that if they are at a center without headphones then they may talk with their partners – but only in a whisper. We practice putting our hand on our neck as we talk. If we can feel the vibration then it is not a whisper.
We also fill out a T-Chart on what the students & teacher expectations are. You will see in the pictures below each literacy center has the T-chart at the center to remind the students on what they should and should not be doing during center time.
At the writing center the students choose one item from the board to complete. For example, the students start off the school year with just simple sentence writing. They will write one, two, three, or four sentences about a topic. If they need help deciding on a topic to write about they can look to the writing prompt calendar posted on the board. As the year goes on I add new writing item choices such as opinion writing, informative writing, etc. I add these items to the board as a choice once we learn how to write them during writer's workshop.

As an author, you need to learn how to pitch your stories, both in person and in query letters. Writing a pitch really helps you to focus on your story line, not on all the little details. When asked, "What's your book about?", the worst thing you can do is go on and on about plot events in your story. Don't do that–pitches need to be succinct. By the way, I didn't invent this technique; I learned it from pitching experts.
Here's the basic structure of a pitch:
My screenplay/novel, TITLE HERE, is about PROTAGONIST NAME HERE, SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PROTAGONIST THAT WILL MAKE US FEEL SYMPATHETIC TO HIM/HER. When INCITING INCIDENT HERE, s/he decides to WHATEVER YOUR PROTAGONIST DOES IN YOUR STORY in spite of OBSTACLES HERE.
Pitches don't need to be especially elegant. It's more important to convey the essence of the story. If the listener is intrigued, she will ask for more details.
To show you what I'm talking about, here are examples of pitches I wrote for my novels and screenplays:
My novella/screenplay Call of the Jaguar is about Rachel McCarthy, a woman who realizes on her 40th birthday that the life she has chosen is meaningless. When she sees a newspaper article about the romantic archaeologist lover from her youth, she decides to seek him out in spite of the fact that he is working in the midst of a war-torn country.
My novel Shaken is about Elisa Langston, who takes charge of her family's plant nursery after her father's sudden death. After the business is struck by vandals, an earthquake, and finally arson, Elisa must prove to a suspicious insurance investigator that she's not the criminal behind all the destruction.
My novel The Only Witness is about Matthew Finn, a big-city police detective who moved to a gossipy small town only to have his wife leave him for an old flame. When a baby disappears from a parked car, Finn works relentlessly to solve the case, despite the fact that the only witness he can find is a signing gorilla.
You get the idea.
Other Elements You Need
If you're asked for more information in a face-to-face meeting or if you're writing a query letter, you should also be able to point out deeper elements explored and explain why you wanted to write this story. It's best if the reason for that comes from your personal history. Here's one example of that, using a screenplay I wrote that I am currently turning into a novel:
The pitch:
My screenplay Between Water and Earth is about Jess Crowder, a 20-year-old pregnant journalism student who is determined to prove to everyone that she can still have a career as a reporter. When the body of her long-lost aunt is unearthed on her grandfather's property, she decides to cover the story and solve the mystery of a series of murders in the past in spite of the fact that the killer may be a member of her own family.
Deeper issues explored: Secrets within families and communities, violence and anger among veterans returning from war.
I wanted to write this story because my work as an investigator has taught me that criminals are people. A man who murders is always someone's son, father, brother, or husband. Some families choose to ostracize the perpetrator; others choose to believe the crimes never happened. So I wanted to explore the dynamics of a family and a small community when a killer is in their midst.
Now get your head back into your own story and write your own pitch. Good luck!

Trust Bloomberg Tax for the international news and analysis to navigate the complex tax treaty networks and global business regulations.
By Edward Tanenbaum, Esq.
Alston & Bird LLP, New York, NY
Oftentimes, foreign taxpayers are surprised to learn about the multiplicity of tax issues involved in a so-called "simple" winding up and liquidation of their U.S. subsidiaries. As will be shown, a liquidating U.S. subsidiary may be required to recognize gain on the liquidation and, in some cases, the liquidation may result in the imposition of withholding taxes on the distribution.
Liquidations of U.S. subsidiaries into their foreign corporate parents are governed by §367(e)(2), which basically provides that the usual parent/subsidiary non-recognition rule of §337(a) will not apply to a liquidating U.S. subsidiary, except as otherwise provided in regulations. The theme of the exceptions is that if assets distributed in liquidation remain subject to U.S. taxing jurisdiction they are ripe for delayed income recognition.
One exception applies with respect to an asset that was used by the U.S. corporation in a conduct of a U.S. trade or business if: (1) a foreign corporate distributee uses the asset in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (realizing effectively connected income) for the next 10 years; (2) a U.S. liquidating corporation attaches a statement to its tax return (to the effect that: (a) the parties to the liquidating distribution agree to be bound by the terms of the exception as set forth in the regulations; (b) the foreign corporate distributee irrevocably waives any treaty entitlement that would otherwise exempt income from the asset, or subject it to a reduced tax rate, on a sale or exchange of the asset or in connection with the use of the asset; and (c) the parties agree to extend the statute of limitations on assessment and collection until three years after the asset has ceased to be used in a U.S. trade or business); and (3) certain other filings are made. If the asset is disposed of or ceases to be used in a U.S. trade or business within the 10-year period, then, with some exceptions, the foreign corporate distributee must recognize gain (or, under certain circumstances, must amend the U.S. corporation's return for the year of the liquidating distribution, reflecting gain therein).
One key carve-out to the trade or business exception is that it does not apply to the distribution of rights in intangibles, a rule that is often overlooked by taxpayers (or ignored because they are in denial as to the existence of any intangibles).
With respect to the trade or business exception, however, there would have to be significant cross-border tax efficiencies for a group to be willing to liquidate a U.S. subsidiary and continue to operate the business in the United States in branch form, what with branch profits tax issues, certain limitations on deductions, and other administrative inconveniences.
Moreover, as previously indicated, due to the treaty waiver requirement, it would not be possible for the foreign corporate distributee, which might otherwise benefit from the permanent establishment (PE) article in an income tax treaty, to claim a lack of a PE in order to escape taxes on the business profits realized. Indeed, the regulations warn the parties to the liquidation that the intentional failure to properly file the required statements in a distribution that would otherwise qualify for non-recognition would not prevent the IRS from treating the liquidating distribution as a non-recognition event if such treatment is necessary in order to prevent either the domestic distributing corporation or the foreign corporate distributee from deriving a tax benefit from such failure. An example might be if the group determined that it made sense to suffer a little income recognition on the liquidation and continue the operation in branch form but claim a lack of a PE under a treaty going forward by simply failing to comply with the filing requirements for non-recognition under the trade or business exception.
Another exception applies in the case of a liquidating distribution of a "United States real property interest" (USRPI) within the meaning of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) (with the exception of stock in a former "United States real property holding corporation" (USRPHC) that is treated as a USRPI for five years under §897(c)(1)(A)(ii)). Again, the theory is that the foreign corporate distributee will eventually recognize gain on the disposition of the asset. In the case of an overlap between the USRPI and the trade or business exceptions, the USRPI exception governs.
Finally, an exception applies in the case of a liquidating distribution by the U.S. corporation of stock in underlying 80%-owned U.S. subsidiaries. Carved out of this exception is a distribution by a U.S. USRPHC (or one that is still a USRPI), unless the 80%-owned subsidiary is, itself, a USRPHC at the time of the distribution. There is also an anti-abuse rule in the case of tax-avoidance-motivated distributions; a tax avoidance motive is deemed to exist if the foreign corporate distributee disposes of the U.S. subsidiary within two years of the distribution.
In connection with this third exception for distributions of 80%-owned U.S. subsidiaries, §332(d), enacted by American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, curbs a perceived abusive fact pattern involving otherwise tax-free liquidating distributions of U.S. subsidiaries. Section 332(d) provides that, in the case of a distribution to a foreign corporation in complete liquidation of an "applicable holding company," the normal non-recognition rule of §332(a) to the corporate distributee of a distribution in complete liquidation will not apply. Rather, the distribution will be treated as a distribution under §301 subject to U.S. withholding taxes.
An "applicable holding company" refers to a U.S. corporation that is a common parent of an affiliated group, whose stock is directly owned by the foreign corporate distributee, substantially all the assets of which consist of stock in other members of the affiliated group and which has not been in existence at all times during the five years immediately preceding the date of liquidation.
As described in the Senate Committee Report (S. Rep. No. 108-192), Congress was concerned that foreign corporations were establishing U.S. holding companies to receive tax-free dividends from the underlying U.S. operating companies and then liquidating the U.S. holding companies in order to receive distributions without the imposition of withholding taxes. This is not inconsistent with the general anti-abuse rule of the §367(e) regulations, which provides that the IRS can require the liquidating distributing corporation to recognize gain if the principal purpose of the distribution is tax avoidance, including, but not limited to, a distribution of earnings and profits with the proscribed purpose. However, rather than going after the distributing corporation and requiring it to pick up gain on the liquidating distribution, §332(d) goes after the distributee by treating the distribution as a dividend distribution subject to withholding tax.
It is not clear whether the approach of §332(d) is the sole approach to the problem or whether the various anti-abuse rules still have relevance. To the extent they do, such anti-abuse rules can cause gain recognition at the liquidating corporation level, thus creating additional earnings and profits, and thus possibly increasing the amount of withholding tax on the distribution.
So, at the end of the day, the liquidation of a U.S. corporation into a foreign corporate distributee is not that "simple" after all.

My Rating: * * * * *
I HAD A LIFE ANYONE WOULD KILL FOR.I feel bad reading The Lying Game before Pretty Little Liars. I loved the Pretty Little Liars show up to the point where I stopped watching it. Unfortunately, ABC Family was taken away from my cable, and I kept forgetting to watch it online. So...since I loved Pretty Little Liars, the show, I was expecting to begin those books first and love them. But, things did not turn out that way. I ended up reading The Lying Game first, which is not necessarily a bad thing, considering I loved it! It was amazing, enchanting, and a great mystery!
The worst part of being dead is that there's nothing left to live for. No more kisses. No more secrets. No more gossip. It's enough to kill a girl all over again. But I'm about to get something no one else does--an encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never even got to meet.
Now Emma's desperate to know what happened to me. And the only way to figure it out is to be me--to slip into my old life and piece it all together. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend she's the girl he fell in love with? Pretend to be happy, carefree daughter when she hugs my parents good night? And can she keep up the charade, even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?
Emma is your average foster child. She has been moved from house to house. Sutton, on the other hand, is...not. She has had the privileged, spoiled life. So, it can rightly be said that Emma got the short end of the stick. Luckily, everything is about to turn upside down. Sutton dies. And Emma gets to live Sutton's life. Amazing, right? Wrong, because someone was out to kill Sutton...and Emma is next. The cherry on top of the sundae.
I love these types of mysteries, but at the same type, I become really frustrated. I just want to know who it is! Should I already know? Who knows? I am just going to wait until the author tells me, which probably won't be for awhile.
Oh, I wanted to talk about one more thing. The love interest. Garrett, obviously, is out of the picture for Emma. Sutton may have liked him, but Emma doesn't. Now Ethan, he is a hottie. "The brooding type," to be more specific. Just like how Emma likes them. But it appears that Sutton did something to him, just like she has done to many other guys. Will "that" tear them apart from each other? Read and find out.

Click on image to view at Highest Resolution....Thanks for viewing. I took a number captures here (Old Boat Museum) a couple of years ago which can be seen in my gallery. Since that time they have added a few more to the collection. Due to limited space and crowded display it is impossible to try and single out any one boat for a Photo. Hope you like the scene as is. It includes a Homemade Built Rowing skiff (center background) and DugOut Pirogue directly below with sign above it. More Pirogues ("pee-rogues", left and center foreground) and another dugout on the right. Top right on wall is a Hand Made Canoe and just below it is what is left of an Old Indian hand carved Dugout from the 1800's.

"I was coming around to the belief that whether you liked it or not, Things Happen and once they start happening you pretty much just have to hold on for dear life and see where they drop you when they stop."
~Meg Rosoff, How I Live Now
I found How I LIve Now when I was browsing library ebooks and it felt like someone had written pages right from my life. I'm not a big YA reader, but I had to read it. It took about 2 days to finish it - I just fell in.
People like to think they're in control - especially American people. Truth is, you are only in control if you insulate yourself completely - and that's not life - and even that will only work for so long.
And that's ok. It's not about control. It's all about the letting go. Following the river.

Obsessed in Arizona
Hi all! I have so many exciting things to share, but will start out the week with my previous Arizona trip. Not only was it filled with love and good family time, but of course I could not resist looking at all the lovely homes. Arizona homes are drastically different than what I am used to in NJ. They all look the same and wonder if I am gonna ever learn which house belongs to my family : ) However, me and my cousin took part in a 5k and could not believe some of the houses we came across. Stunning! Each home had its own unique qualities. I just fell in love with the swing in the front yard!
This was my fav! Just beautiful.
Love this swing!
The landscaping was perfection!

Indian-origin social network, Hubhopper, has received an undisclosed amount in its first round of funding, to build on core talent and develop its technology further. Based out of New Delhi, Hubhopper differentiates itself from the rest of the social networking hotspots by being more user-adaptive and responsive. After the latest round of funding, Founder-CEO Gautam Raj Anand said, "The next 12 months are extremely exciting for us as we take this platform to the next level and build on our core team."
At present, Hubhopper is in talks with India and Singapore-based fund managers for future rounds of funding. The principle on which Hubhopper works is to give more real-time and overall control of the social network experience to users, instead of relying on robots and automation. Signing into Hubhopper gives you a console-like interface, where you can choose your primary interests and scale your extent of interest on the subsequent topics, thereby allowing you to fine-tune your own profile feed.
You will also get a country-specific view of what's trending – giving a list of location-specific content based on your interests, apart from the broad lists of the first screen. Although the entire suite of Hubhopper's features and capabilities are yet to go live, the blueprint is up for viewing and experiencing at the moment. Signing up for Hubhopper is easy – simply provide your email ID and key in a password combination, and you will be prompted to a setup screen, where you can add your own photograph, choose a username, and public ID. After this, you are directed to the screen where you can fine-tune your interests.
With a colourful interface and an overall friendly face, Hubhopper will aim to attract casual users who would look to keep their personal social lives away from work, and more enjoyable. With subsequent fundings, it will be interesting to see how the new social network in the block shapes up.

Nationally Known "Foodie" Will Kick Off Discussion
Is there enough healthy food in the Lehigh Valley? Is it affordable and available to everyone?
Weigh in. These are among the questions that will be explored in a series of free programs starting with a community forum at Northampton Community College's Fowler Family Southside Center on May 20. The public is invited.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Julie Guthman, a foodie and food guru who teaches at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Guthman draws on science and economics seasoned with humor to analyze the nation's relatively recent obsession with food. She is perhaps best known for an article she wrote titled "The Food Police: Why Michael Pollan Made Me Want to Eat Cheetos."
Guthman's talk will begin at 10, followed by a panel discussion by six other scholars at 11, a community conversation hosted by Renew Lehigh Valley at 2, a poetry workshop led by poet Marilyn Hazelton, and a cooking demonstration and tasting hosted by Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley. Guests are welcome to come for a specific activity or for the whole day. There is no cost for the event, but pre-registration is suggested at www.tinyurl.com/h7bk76p.
The scholars participating on the panel will be Kelly Allen, associate professor of English and founder of the Community Garden at Northampton Community College, Breena Holland, associate professor of political science at Lehigh University, M. Dawn King, faculty fellow and lecturer at Brown University, Ben Cohen, assistant professor of engineering studies and environmental studies at Lafayette College, Maria McGrath, associate professor of humanities and history at Bucks County Community College, and Dr. Sandra Aguilar-Rodriguez, assistant professor of Latin American history at Moravian College.
Allen is coordinating the forum and the programs that will follow in conjunction with RenewLV, Second Harvest Food Bank, the Hispanic Center, BuyFresh,BuyLocal Lehigh Valley, and the Penn State Agricultural Extension The goal is "to focus on the human relationship with food across cultures and how we can ensure an adequate, safe, and appropriate food supply," according to Allen.
The series will include a screening of the film "Growing Cities" and a "talkback" at SteelStacks from 4:30-6:30 on May 20, four cooking workshops at the Hispanic Center of the Lehigh Valley, three gardening workshops, a full-day celebration of local farms and foods at Lehigh Valley PBS on July 24, and a closing forum including a report-out on findings and recommendations on October 29. The full schedule can be found at northampton.edu/publicsquare.
The programs are being funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the "Humanities in the Public Square" initiative which builds on humanities scholarship to engage the public in understanding pressing issues.

Yogi Anand, D.Eng, P.E. Google Spreadsheet Post #593 Jun 15, 2012 www.energyefficientbuild.com.

user Dom_201 said:
I have been trying in vain to come up with a way to use FILTER to find and return questions and responses in a spreadsheet based on whether or not the "Tags" that were placed in the same row matched a specific set of "Tags" on the spreadsheet where the searching was being done from. The goal was to make it easier to find questions that had specific tags so that we could use the answers that had already been written when responding to those questions via Twitter instead of having to re-write them every time. I was able to make this work very easily when folks were only asking me to filter based on matching a single tag. But recently I have been asked to make this work so that they could narrow down the list of returns by using multiple tags. So, instead of returning results that matched one tag, now they want to return results that match multiple tags. I tried using FILTER to do this, but I couldn't figure it out. I also tried using QUERY, but couldn't get it that way either. I will share my spreadsheet so you can see what I tried, but try not to laugh too much at my attempts to make it work. :-/ I don't really know what I'm doing, I just keep trying different things until something finally works out...
Ok, so, here's a link to the spreadsheet:
I left it the way that it is, not trying to cover up any of my blunders in trying to make it work. :-/
If you look at the "Search" tab, you'll see that it worked just fine when I was only trying to filter based on one tag, but if you look on "Search 2" you'll see that all attempts that I made ended up failing...
Now, there are a lot of tabs in there, but you'll also see one called "Master" where I was basically going to just combine all of the Q&A tabs into one all encompassing tab and then just differentiate between the questions based on tags instead of creating multiple tabs.
So, the goal here is to be able to select one tag on the search 2 page and get a set of results, and then pick another tag on the search 2 page and narrow down those results, and another and another until I find the one I am looking for, or it no longer returns results because nothing matches that many tags.
I would truly appreciate any help you can offer. I have used these forums in the past and I know that some of you guys REALLY know your stuff!!! ;-) I have seen you help out so many folks, so if you could possibly help me too, I would be VERY grateful... Please? ;-)
Thanks a lot for your time,
Very respectfully,
P.S. I just remembered to add: I am using Google Spreadsheets on an HP Windows 7 laptop using Chrome browser.
Ok, I have put some sample data at the top of the "Master" tab for the purposes of clarifying what I am referring to....
I also made a few updates and cleared out all my old attempts since none of them worked anyways. I still have all of that stuff if you need it, but it was cluttering things up.
Now, the only page that I am really concerned about is "Search 2". The page "Search" was the first attempt and worked fine for what I was asked to deliver at the time. But, since more is being requested than "Search" could perform, I created "Search 2" and "Master". Thus, again, all I am worried about is "Search 2".
Speaking of Search 2, I added a column for "Link" because I want to return the Question, Answer, and Link for every applicable search.
Now, getting into expected results, I am going to put a few case scenarios and their explanations on the spreadsheet since that's the best way that I can think of to describe AND show you what I was hoping for. I will put CASE 1, CASE 2, CASE 3, etc in column A of Search 2 and refer to those cases here.
CASE 1 - Tags = "Parent" (Cell: A3)
In this case, the formula used would return the following questions (along with corresponding answers and links)
Am I eligible for other education benefits?
Where can I find more information about aid?
Who is involved in the college and financial aid process?
What is the Expected Family Contribution?
What is the FAFSA for?
What documents do I need to fill out a FAFSA?
It returns these questions because somewhere between column D and column T on the "Master" page, there was the tag "Parent". In this case, the instances of the tag "Parent" were typically in column F and G. However, I would like to be able to return questions / answers / links with the tag located anywhere between columns D and T. So, regardless of where that "Parent" tag is located between column D and T, if it matches the search, then the corresponding question / answer / link should be returned to the Search 2 page.
CASE 2 - Tags = "Parent" (Cell: A3) "Apply" (Cell: B3)
In this case, the formula used would return the following questions (along with corresponding answers and links)
Where can I find more information about aid?
What is the Expected Family Contribution?
What is the FAFSA for?
What documents do I need to fill out a FAFSA?
In this case, there are fewer results because fewer questions had the tags necessary to meet the search parameters (as I am calling them). So, logically speaking, by setting A3 to equal "Parent" and B3 to equal "Apply" I am telling the formula to return to me all of the questions with corresponding answers and links that have both the tags "Parent" AND "Apply".
In each CASE, as a new search term is added, fewer results would be returned and the list would become smaller.
CASE 3 - Tags = "Parent" (Cell: A3) "Apply" (Cell: B3) "taxes" (Cell: C3)
In this case, the formula used would return the following question (along with corresponding answer and link)
What documents do I need to fill out a FAFSA?
Because this question was the only one to meet all the search parameters, it is the only one that is returned. So, logically, by setting A3 to "Parent", B3 to "Apply", and C3 to "taxes" I am telling the formula to return to me all of the questions with corresponding answers and links that have the tags "Parent" AND "Apply" AND "taxes".
CASE 4 - Tags = "Parent" (Cell: A3) "Apply" (Cell: B3) "taxes" (Cell: C3) "Receive" (Cell: D3)
In this case, nothing is returned. There are no questions that have all four of the chosen tags, so no return is required.
Basically, this whole thing is to be set up as a way to narrow down the list easily to only questions that pertain to a specific set of topics. So, if we want to respond on Twitter to a parent who doesn't know much about the FAFSA application process, and has asked us about what tax documents are required to fill out the form properly, we can narrow down a very large list of frequently asked questions and previously compiled responses to just those responses that pertain to the question being asked.
I really hope this explains what I am trying to do. Basically, if a question has the tags in cells A3 AND B3 AND C3 return question/response/link for each question that meets the parameters...
Thank you SOOOOOO much!!!
Again, sorry for the delay. Please, let me know if there is anything I was unclear about.
Very respectfully,
Dominique Ramirez
in the following solution I created 4 separate sheets for each of the search cases

Q: Are there any maintenance necessary on your LIMO sliders and cylinders? I just started using your EZS II and EZC II series for a production process at my company. Other manufacturers require re-greasing of their ball screws once in a while. Do you have this requirement, and how do I apply grease to your ball screws?
A: We do suggest inspection at regular intervals. Maintenance intervals would mainly depend on your duty cycle and duration of use. The way our actuators are used also affects maintenance intervals. For example, if you push our actuators beyond our specifications, such as operating them continuously in extremely dusty or high temperature environments (which we never recommend), then you probably have to inspect your actuator more often than the average user.
The following LIMO maintenance instructions assume that your slider or cylinder operates 8 hours a day. For the EZS II series sliders, it will offer instructions to partially disassemble the actuator for you to inspect, clean, or apply grease. For the EZC II series cylinders, you do not have to disassemble it to apply grease. Please use this as a reference guide.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Do I need to maintain your LIMO actuators?
