Carrigeen claim the Bob O'Keeffe Cup
Carrigeen swept aside the challenge of Laois opposition as they stormed home by an impressive margin of 13 points to win the Bob O'Keeffe Cup.
Playing with the breeze in the first half Carrigeen went ahead at an early stage courtesy of points from Liam Roche and Frank and Kevin Law. The visitors had their first score after 10 minutes, and managed to get a foothold in the game.
As the first half wore on the Laois quickly pulled alongside Carrigeen. Driving on, they almost drew level.
Goalkeeper Jamie Carroll halted the Borris momentum with a free launched from deep inside his own half. The strike sailed over the Borris defence and dropped into the back of Adrian Moore's net.
That score, quickly followed by points from Anthony O'Brien and Dean Gates, gave Carrigeen a led which they never relinquished. The first half closed with the Kilkenny side in command thanks to a 1 -8 to 0-4 scoreline.
Hurling against the breeze in the second half, Carrigeen struggled to regain their form. Borris posted three good scores, but a turning point came when Carrigeen keeper Jamie Carroll made an excellent save.
From that point on Carrigeen pulled further ahead with points from Niall Gallagher, Dean Gates, Kevin Law and Johnny Cooney.
As the second half wore on, Carrigeen extended their lead. Midfielder Dean Gates registered an impressive score, following a clever pass from Law once more.
Frank Law, who subsequently was awarded man of the match, had a huge impact on the game from the heart of the Carrigeen defence.
Half-backs Anthony O'Brien and Cathal O'Keeffe both covered ground and attacked well, while Dean Gates worked hard in midfield. The centrefield man both created scores and tacked on a few for himself.
Kevin Law and Niall Gallagher were Carrigeen's best forwards on the night.
Carrigeen - Jamie Carroll (1-0, free), Hilary Óg Delahunty, Richard O'Brien, Stephen Jacob, Cathal O'Keeffe, Frank Law(0-1, free), Anthony O'Brien(0-1), Dean Gates(0-4), Brian Gallagher(0-1), Paul Barry, Chris O'Hanlon, Kevin Law(0-3), Niall Gallagher(0-2), Liam Roche(0-1, free), Mark Long (0-1).

The numbers don't make sense at first glance.
Punjab, with more than twice the population of Sindh, has two-thirds of the number of families considered eligible for income support in the latter.
Multan, the prime minister's hometown, has almost half the population of Lahore, stronghold of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), yet has twice as many families receiving Rs1,000 monthly stipend from the government.
The apparent anomalies have led to resentment, and accusations of nepotism, not just from the opposition, but government's allies too.
Lawmakers say that districts and constituencies considered strong-hold of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party have a disproportionately high number of people considered eligible for cash handouts.
The opposition openly accuses the government of using the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) as a political tool since its inception in 2008.
Many lawmakers are also questioning the authenticity of a Rs5 billion poverty survey conducted by the BISP last year. The results of the country's 'first ever' poverty survey have yet to be made public.
Provincial data
When the BISP official data, available with The Express Tribune, is plotted on a provincial map, the findings lend credence to opposition's claims at first glance.
Punjab, the most populous province but ruled by the opposition PML-N, has the lowest ratio of beneficiary families – 1,974 families per 100,000 people – of the four federating units. Sindh, the stronghold of PPP, has three-and-a-half times that ratio – 6,829 families per 100,000 people.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, where PPP is part of coalition governments with its allies – the Awami National Party (ANP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) – trail Sindh with 5,155 and 4,858 beneficiary families per 100,000 people respectively.
Both Gilgit-Baltistan, an autonomous territory, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a self-governing state, have governments aligned with the ruling PPP and have 2,400 and 1,518 beneficiary families per 100,000 people receiving income support respectively.
Constituency-level data
A closer inspection at some of the districts further corroborates the opposition's suspicions. Districts where the ruling party or its allies have majority of the constituencies (coloured blue in the corresponding map), fare better than where the opposition holds sway (coloured red).
District-wise ratios of beneficiary families to per 100,000 people are also given.
When asked about apparent disparity in the data, a BISP spokesperson said that given the socio-economic variance across the country, the number of BISP beneficiaries is not proportionate to the population of any district.
"Poverty scorecard is a scientific instrument and it identifies eligible families based on their poverty score, rather than any other consideration" said the spokesperson in a written reply.
The programme declares those eligible for Rs1,000 monthly income support who score less than 17, out of a total 100 points, in the Poverty Targeting Survey Programme (PTSP).
Poverty varies in different cities according to distribution of resources – hence the poverty level in Thar cannot be compared with that of Lahore, Rajanpur cannot be compared with Rawalpindi and Benazirabad cannot be compared with Karachi, he added.
A cross-check with district-wise Human Development Index (HDI) scores, a standard means of measuring well-being globally, lends at least some credence to the spokesperson's claim. Punjab has a higher HDI compared to other provinces while Karachi and Lahore, which has a low ratio of beneficiary families compared to Multan, have the highest HDIs amongst the districts compared. There are anomalies, though, like Khairpur and Larkana.
Contracts to survey firms
The BISP spent Rs5 billion on the poverty survey, the PTSP. Of this, Rs2.5 billion have been given to organisations conducting the survey and Rs1.75 billion to post offices. The programme owes Rs733 million to these organizations in lieu of the exercise.
The survey was largely conducted by the Rural Support Programme Network – in Upper Punjab, AJK, Sindh, K-P and G-B. Other independent firms were contracted for surveys in southern Punjab and Fata while the Population Census Organisation was awarded the contract for Balochistan survey. The government's allies are raising questions over the survey.
"I questioned the procedure adopted by the BISP for awarding contracts for PTSP and details of amount paid to each organisation for survey but they never replied, which is a breach of lawmakers' rights," said ANP Senator Zahid Khan.
Terming the survey "as controversial as the BISP," Khan said that several senators will move against the BISP in the courts [for] rampant corruption and nepotism.
The programme awards all contracts using the World bank's guidelines for 'quality and cost based selection' of these firms, said the BISP spokesperson.
It is a very rigorous process and the BISP secured World Bank's approvals at every stage of the award of process, he added.

How's the Cold Open?
It's hard to talk week after week about how bored I am by Baldwin's Trump and I not only appreciated the break but was sure that I would have warmer feelings when he returned.
But even if I did, one of the most obvious and irritating pieces of writing that they've come up with in sometime would have dashed all those quickly. I mean, look, Trump Christmas Carol is a premise so blatantly obvious as to be hackwork just do it, much less to do it totally earnestly without any real subversion.
It's made all the worse by the sketch playing it as standard and woefully obvious recitation of "things Trump has done and said" in order to reach for clapter. That Conway "I got so drunk I told the truth line" or that Clinton "Lock Him Up" has no real comedy basis and no joke to it and within the sketch land like a wet thud, even if McKinnon is doing her best to sell it.
It's just a broad and clunkily written sketch. It feels like all the worst SNL political tendencies in one sketch, buoyed by a fairly lazy impression. It's like the sketch someone would write to make fun of the show, nothing hits, overly broad, doesn't know how to end, and ultimately pointless and reassuring with no comedy.
Who's Hosting?
Saorise Ronan is one of our finest young actresses, one destined for an Oscar shortly enough and one who I may not have suspected to be so ready for the SNL stage. But the same self-assured confidence of performance that makes her so great on film is what makes her work here. Ronan manages to never feel out of place or nervous and she's actually acting and selling bits of comedy based on her performance. She's game and really talented with this and I hope to see more of her doing comedy and more of her on SNL.
What Sketches Are Worth Watching?
"Welcome to Hell"
This is undoubtedly the sketch that's going to have the most life outside of this episode and for good reason. The Ladies of SNL Music Video has been a mark of quality and a recurring sketch onto itself and this one is a fairly smart handling of the sexual harassment stuff. It's centering reaction of the women and contrasting the bright bubblegum pop of the song and video to the real horrors described, stacking and building in just the right way and using the production design here so well. It's a lot of fun and even if it could have used a little more energy, this is another great music video.
"Floribama Shore"
We should maybe be a little concerned about the increasing dropping of "Live" from SNL, but we can get to that later. This is a solid send-up of the mining of "middle-class affecting the lower-class reality show" that MTV found working around Jersey Shore. Great characters and details (Quartney, "Benghazi Truther in the Streets," damn Aidy Bryant really owned this one) and the inclusion of Chris Redd's sane person in the middle of the whole thing may be the funniest gag of the whole night (that shot of him packing in the middle of the party). And look at Luke Null getting a moment (more on him later).
"The Race"
Beck and Kyle sketches are this show's truest and most consistent delight, the talent and the specificity are just so good. This is another example, a short that's half sports-parody and half-80s pastiche parody that spirals so wacky that telling you out of context would just spoil it. Greta Gerwig cameoing is also real fun, she should host.
"Bachelor Auction"
Chad is one of the most odd recurring characters on this show, no voice and no backstory and no conceit but Davidson playing the dumbest possible version of himself. The joke is that everyone is ridiculously magnetically attracted to him for reasons they aren't quite sure of themselves. This is the first live version but it absolutely plays right,
"Return Counter"
This is a "Parade of Weirdos" sketch and a fairly effective one. Like the Floribama Shore sketch, it's just about getting those great little details in, what people think and do. McKinnon is probably the best of these at the end, even if Strong is definitely giving it the most effort in this one and is definitely my favorite by a mile.
"American Girl Store"
Mikey Day is getting good at finding these recurring bits, isn't he? "Distracting Guy in the News Report" (I'm sure it has an actual name) is always a fun one and even if this one is a little more obvious, Day is playing it well and Ronan is underplaying so nicely.
"Aer Lingus"
I'm not quite sure what's going on here. I honestly laughed really hard for reasons I don't understand. It's slightly too surreal to just be "Irish jokes" and it definitely just kind of ends, but there's such a great oddball quality to this one.
What Didn't Work?
"Late for Class"
Woof. Let's talk about this one for a second.
Clearly intended to try to give new castmember Luke Null a chance, it's a really bold choice. A sketch that's supposed to give no laughs for two minutes so that it can pull up at the end and turn things around and mine how uncomfortable the beginning of the sketch was.
But it doesn't work. First, the fact that you've already bombed and set the audience against the sketch leads to some mild titters among the crowd when it turns around and a hostile atmosphere for the rest of the performance.
But I also think Luke Null doesn't play it right. He overacts, hitting it too hard, feeling like he isn't necessarily threading the needle between funny and uncomfortable. Which is hard, I get it, but it's still what he's being asked to do.
I feel bad that he took such a hard challenge, but it's not a fun look to start him out with. Nothing he can do that Mikey Day or Alex Moffatt or Beck Bennett can't.
"Saoirse Ronan Monologue"
$20 bucks if the monologue isn't about her name.
It is? Then I got 20 bucks.
Weekend Update!
Boy, Jost and Che have really turned it around. Or the writers have at least. Che may have been weirdly a little off tonight, but there was plenty of great hits on the continuing sexual harassment scandals (comparing it to the Powerball numbers), Roy Moore (segueing out of the creepy YouTube kids videos), and hitting against the tax bill passed in the wee hours of the night. No all-timers, but a lot of strong hits.
Two correspondents this week.
Mikey Day and Leslie Jones return as the sexually adventurous married couple. It's threaded and performed well with Day letting the passive-aggressive resentment sink in as Jones bashfulness occasionally gives way to her intense desires. Plus the "Stop Whining, Sandwich Boy" is such a good gag.
McKinnon adds another world leader to her repertoire with British PM (for now) Theresa May. While McKinnon plays her with the same able and nimble performance that she does Clinton, Merkel, Ginsburg, and others. But it doesn't work with May, personally.
McKinnon's specialty with these characters is taking straitlaced lady world leaders and creating an interesting and funny character out of them. Ginsburg as an insult comic, Merkel as a nerdy high school girl with a lot of crushes, Clinton as power-mad and ruthlessly competent. In other words, people who aren't terribly funny becoming funny.
The problem is that Theresa May is a hysterical figure. Not intentionally, no. She's an Armando Iannucci character, someone who believes they're the only smart person in the room but proceeds to trip over their dicks all the way down the stairs. The person who called a snap election with a double-digit lead and proceeded to lose all of that and her majority to THE ABSOLUTE BOY/JEREMY FUCKING CORBYN and had to ally with insane Scottish reactionaries to barely cling to power as most of her party is waiting desperately to desert her. The character they've put together here is just not as funny or comedically interesting as the real person.
Did You Actually Watch The Musical Guest?
I did not!
I haven't heard the new album yet and wanted to wait.
Cecily Strong had a strong night, really going for it at a lot of turns, including stealing K-Mart straight from under the feet of every one else. Just a good solid night for a great performer.
Cecily Strong – 2
Kate McKinnon – 1
Aidy Bryant – 1
Heidi Gardner – 1
Kenan Thompson – 1
Chris Redd – 1
Final Thoughts!
A nice week! Saoirse Ronan is a great host anchoring a lot of strong performance-based sketches. "Welcome To Hell" is definitely going to have some legs here, but a lot of strong stuff here! A few duds, but nothing bringing down the night too much.

Lindsey Vonn cleared to return to snow
December 5, 2013
VAIL — Lindsey Vonn is ready to get back on snow.
After suffering a serious knee injury at the World Championships last winter, she's undergone surgery, done months of rehab and put in hours upon hours in the gym.
"I've spent so much time in the gym, I can barely take one more day," Vonn said.
On Wednesday, she was — surprise — back in the gym in Vail. But she won't have to wait much longer to get on skis. Vonn has been cleared to return to snow and is headed to Portillo, Chile, on Friday to test out her surgically repaired right knee.
"I obviously missed that first training camp in New Zealand, but I feel like I'm right where I need to be and hopefully the training on snow goes just as well."
— Lindsey Vonn
U.S. Olympic skier
Recommended Stories For You
The four-time overall World Cup alpine skiing champion and defending Olympic downhill gold-medal winner suffered a torn ACL and MCL and a lateral tibial plateau fracture in a nasty crash at the World Championships in Schladming, Austria, last February. Her doctor, William Sterett of Vail-Summit Orthopaedics, who performed the surgery, examined the knee Monday and gave her the go-ahead to get back onto skis. Vonn will go to Portillo and begin free-skiing on Sunday.
Vonn was working out Wednesday at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail with her trainer, Martin Hager, of Red Bull. She said her repaired knee feels great and tests show that it is 98 percent as strong as her left knee.
"I obviously missed that first training camp in New Zealand, but I feel like I'm right where I need to be and hopefully the training on snow goes just as well," Vonn said. "From a physical standpoint, I'm in great shape."
The scar from the procedure was barely visible as Vonn went through balance, stretching and core exercises with Hager.
"We are happy with her progress," Hager said, who has been working out with Vonn five to six days per week, three to four hours per day. "Looking good for starting skiing."
Return for Beaver Creek?
In Portillo, Vonn will start with some easy free-skiing and, if the knee responds well, increase volume and intensity.
"Everything I see about her is that she is so determined to get back out there," Sterett said. "She doesn't just want to ski — she wants to start winning. Physically, it's going at least as well as we could have hoped."
The 28-year-old Vonn is aiming to return to racing at the women's Birds of Prey races in Beaver Creek Nov. 29-Dec. 1, where racers will compete on the new women's downhill course that has been built for the 2015 World Championships. For this season, above all, her sights are set on the Olympics in February in Sochi, Russia. She will be aiming to peak then.
"Of course I want to win in Beaver Creek, that's my goal, but the main goal for the season is definitely the Olympics," she said. "So if I don't start off really well, I'm not going to be that worried about it because I really want to build into it and really be ready for the Olympics."
'I'm happy'
Vonn's relationship with Tiger Woods has brought her a new level of fame and scrutiny. They landed on the cover of celebrity magazines when they publicly announced their relationship in March. Vonn has attended many of Woods' tournaments for the past several months. She said she's been struck by how long the tournaments take.
"It's like a marathon," she said. "I'm like a sprinter, and he's a marathon runner. … Four days and every single shot is important."
She said she doesn't read celebrity magazines, and she doesn't care what they say about her.
"I think that's one thing I've learned from Tiger is to have thicker skin, to be mentally tougher," Vonn said. "I don't feel like I'm any different. I don't feel like I'm more famous now because I date Tiger. I don't think that at all. I don't read any of that stuff. It doesn't bother me because I don't really care. What I care about is that I'm happy and I'm around people that I love and love me. That's what's important."
Vonn said she is aiming to start training in Colorado as soon as there's snow to ski on.
"Whenever the first resort opens here, I'll be here," Vonn said. "I would much rather be here than going back over to Europe, especially because I'm not doing Soelden (World Cup races in October). The media there is crazy. I'd rather stay at home."

The Suitcase Rummage Market is a little different to the usual market. The stall holders sell second hand items or handmade items from out of a suitcase. Pretty simple really.
Majority of the items that were on sale were second hand clothes, ranging from modern day to a little bit of retro clothing. Saw these gorgeous shoes, tried them on (feeling a little like Cinderella), but alas, no, they did not fit.
I am thinking of participating in one of their next markets. There are not many markets left that are at a reasonable price and their stall or I should say a suitcase position is at a reasonable price. When one sells stationery, one needs to sell a lot of products just to break even. It's times like these I wish I sewed or made jewellery.

NEW DELHI – Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Indian occupied Kashmir dramatically quit his job Tuesday, over allegations he had been involved in an infamous sex scandal three years ago.
The news quickly hit the headlines in India. Mr. Abdullah has been regarded as the hope of troubled Jammu and Kashmir state, which for years was ravaged by a rebellion against Indian rule and remains tense today. (See the Monitor's profile of Abdullah here.)
The scion of Kashmir's leading political dynasty dismissed the allegations – which were made by a leader of the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) during a speech in the state assembly – as groundless and politically motivated.
"But if I hadn't taken this decision, I would have carried this thing with me for the rest of my political career," he said in a telephone interview, adding that he wanted his name cleared while he was out of office so no one could accuse him of using his power as chief minister to influence investigations.
The scandal, which broke in 2006, involves the alleged procurement of underage girls as prostitutes for a number of establishment figures in Srinagar, Indian Kashmir's capital, including politicians, police officers, and bureaucrats. It sparked several weeks of protests across the Himalayan region.
The case is still under investigation by India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which in 2006 arrested two former state ministers and lawmakers but later freed them on bail.
PDP leader Muzaffar Baig alleged Tuesday that Abdullah's name appeared in a list of suspects presented in 2006 by CBI to the court that has been trying the case.
Several Indian newspapers have since quoted senior CBI officials saying that Abdullah's name is nowhere on the list.
Since Abdullah became the state's youngest-ever chief minister earlier this year, he has sought to make Kashmir's authorities more transparent, especially over alleged human rights abuses.
He stumbled in May, when the bodies of two young women were found near a security forces base near Srinagar. Quoting the findings of a forensic report that was later discredited, he said the women had been neither raped nor murdered, triggering weeks of protests.

I received a copy of The Most Magnificent Thing for free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I read this book on my phone to my 8 month old daughter. Needless to say, it was hard for her to focus being on such a small screen (though she has trouble focusing lately anyway because she'd rather be crawling around). However, some of the pictures grabbed her attention. The drawings and the colors are very simple in this book, so it won't keep the attention of very young readers.
However, I did enjoy the story. The words were still simple for young readers, but the moral of the story was pretty good: it teaches kids that if you get stumped working on a problem that you can't solve, sometimes just walking away for a little bit and coming back with a clear head, you can solve your problem. I think that is actually something really neat to teach kids.
I also really enjoyed what "the most magnificent thing" ended up being. I won't spoil it for you!
I recommend picking up this book to read to your kids, especially once they're hitting elementary school and start having homework and projects. It's just a good reminder that getting frustrated with a problem doesn't ever solve your problem. Taking some time to cool off and clear your head can do wonders.

Technology is rapidly evolving, and the benefits that our lives achieve are much more comfortable and better with the new inventions. For example, unlike before where one had to line up at the movie shop to purchase a movie of their choice, the trend has now changed since one can watch their favorite movies at the comfort of their homes. How?
This is done with the use of a video streaming software or app that allows you to directly view and download movies and other videos from the devices such as the PCs, laptops and a smartphone. So, all you need is to get a good and reliable streaming app or software and be in an Internet-connected area. Here are the top qualities of the best video streaming software to check before you buy software of your choice.
Picture quality
You want to get the best experience from your movie watching regardless of where you are downloading it or watching from. Therefore, the kind of software you are using determines the quality of the pictures being displayed on the device. So make sure the videos displayed by the software are crystal clear such that you don't have to strain your eyes looking at what is being displayed on the device.
Excellent customer care services from the provider
There are different streaming software companies worldwide, and each company's software works differently. If you have ever used any software for streaming, you would agree with me that the process is not all smooth as you may experience some technical hitches when streaming.
Therefore, to make sure that your entertainment is not cut short, choose a company that has 24-hour customer services such that if you need to make any inquiries at any time of the day, they will gladly help you with your questions or even the technical problems that you are experiencing.
The storage
Sometimes, you may want to save a movie and watch it much later. To be able to do this, the software has to have ample storage space to allow for extra storing of the film.

There's no shortage of ergonomic peripherals these days, though we do kind of like the pointy shapes that come on this Designer Appliances AirO2bic grip-less mouse. Pronounced "aerobic," it specifically claims that it can prevent and even remedy Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
The shape of the gadget lets you rest your hand in a vertical position on the base so you don't have to grip anything. Once you start moving your hand, the mouse should easily slide with it, though it may seem awkward at first. It comes with a optical sensor and Clickless software, though for $100, this thing better sing and dance too.

Facebook Responds to 'The Social Network's' 8 Oscar Nominations (Exclusive)
The film, which paints Mark Zuckerberg in a bad light, is up for best picture, among others.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have a lot to say about The Social Network's eight Oscar nominations.
"We've said all we're going to say about the movie and the books," a rep for the social networking site tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We've moved on from this discussion, and we think others have, too."
Zuckerberg has said he's a fan of Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of him, for which he was nominated in the best actor category.
PHOTOS: Oscar hosts through the years.
Said Eisenberg, whose cousin works for Facebook: "My cousin sent me a text message telling me that Mark liked the parts that the movie got right and he thought I did a nice job."
The Facebook founder took several members of his staff to a screening of the film.
"It's a movie, it's fun ... I can promise you, this is my life so I know it's not that dramatic," he told Oprah Winfrey in September. "The last six years have been a lot of coding and focus and hard work, but maybe it would be fun to remember it as partying and all this crazy drama."

Black alloy steel bridge saddle height
adjustment screws for 2008 and newer
American Standard Stratocaster® as well as
the 2017 American Professional Stratocaster® that use the
fine thread #4-48 saddle height adjustment
screws. Typically Fender has used the
#4-40 saddle height set screws on the Strat
since 1954, so before ordering make sure to
determine the correct thread size on your
particular guitar before ordering.
Uses the 0.050" adjusting hex wrench which is
available here.
Size/Threading: #4-48.
Lengths: 1/4", 5/16"
or 3/8".
Most common setups are to use shorter length
saddle height screws on the
little E and big E string saddles with the
in-between saddles B, G, D & A using the
next size larger. Exactly which saddle
height screws
you use on your two outer E string saddles
all depends on your particular guitar setup.
The most common quantities for a complete
six saddle height adjustment screw
re-fit usually are one of the
following two combinations:
If you are unsure as to which saddle height
screws to choose
to accommodate your particular setup and
neck radius you could purchase 4 of the 1/4"
length, 10 of the 5/16" length and 8 of the
3/8" length and this would provide you with
enough set screws to setup your guitar
exactly as needed for only $8.80.
The reason for the 3 different lengths for
these saddle height adjustment screws is
so that you can set the radius of the
saddles to closely approximate the radius of
your fret board without having excessive
length of the set screws protruding above
the saddles causing your hand to get caught
on while playing. You'll want to keep
the excess height of these above the saddle
as short or flush as possible.

Resurrection, Spiritual
Most Relevant Verses
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry. He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."read more.
Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.' "Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. 'I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.'" So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life."'" So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished We are completely cut off.' "Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. "Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people. "I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the LORD.'"
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. "For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.
Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

With the romance of Valentine's Day in the air, it's time to take your pick of Scotland's suavest, fittest men and our most enterprising, alluring women – all of whom can surely want for nothing, except a significant other, writes Ruth Walker
1 Katherine Grainger, 38
Olympic rower
A London 2012 Olympic gold medal-winning rower, Grainger, right, was shortlisted for last year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year, but the 6ft tall blonde Aberdonian is far more than that. As well as being the UK's most successful woman rower of all time, the 38-year-old managed to combine being an elite athlete who won three Olympic silver medals and six world championships with a career as an academic. Dr Grainger, as the former Bearsden Academy pupil became when she was recently awarded a PhD in the sentencing of homicide at King's College, University of London, graduated in law from Edinburgh University then achieved an MPhil in medical law and medical ethics from Glasgow University. She is now a popular after-dinner and motivational speaker. She's also famous for saying: "David Beckham? Well, you would, wouldn't you?"
2 Pollyanna McIntosh, 34
A statuesque former Pirelli model and now hardworking actress, McIntosh has been seen in productions as varied as big-screen, big-budget movies Filth and Burke & Hare, children's TV series MI High and political satire Bob Servant Independent. A sultry beauty, she is unafraid of poking fun at herself and was most recently seen wrapped in Sellotape on the cover of the Women In Horror 2014 calendar. Born in the Highlands and raised in Colombia, Portugal and Scotland, she now lives between Los Angeles and London, but you can see her in two Scottish films coming out this year: White Settlers and Let Us Prey. Our girl is also passionate about working with disadvantaged and incarcerated youth, she can turn her hand to jewellery design and is currently writing a screenplay and TV comedy. And learning to play the ukelele.
3 Amy Irving, 29
Make-up artist
A trained lawyer, Irving now works in world development with Scottish-based medical charities, setting up maternal health clinics and providing medical treatment across east Africa. She isn't just making the world a better place; she's also working her magic on the people filling it. As brand manager for Japonesque make-up tools, she does the make-up on Modern Family, Glee, True Blood and for ITV in Los Angeles with the likes of Ross King. When she's not Stateside on set, she's at home in London, but you'd better be quick as she's off to Australia and the Middle East to introduce the brand there.
4 Hayley Scanlan, 29
Fashion designer
The Dundonian learned the craft of dressmaking at the feet of her beloved grandmother, and has grown up to become one of Scotland's most talented, hardworking designers. Her pieces are coveted by the likes of Erin O'Connor, Jessie J and Marina Diamandis, and she was named Young Designer of the Year at the 2012 Scottish Fashion Awards. Incredibly, she manages to combine a successful growing business – she was hand-picked to be stocked in Topshop and Debenhams last year – with raising her twin boys.
5 Fiona Richmond, 42
2014 project manager, Scotland Food & Drink
Bubbly, energetic, vivacious, Richmond is passionate and dedicated in everything she does. A power player in the food industry, she works globally promoting all that is delicious about Scottish produce. This year, her job will involve her delivering quality food and drink at the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup.
6 Eve Muirhead, 23
Olympic curler
Currently world champion, Muirhead is a remarkable young athlete who skipped the GB curling team at the Vancouver Olympics at the tender age of 19. She represents and excels in all things Scottish; she is a world-class curler, champion piper and a scratch golfer. Her work ethic, talent and passion to succeed set her apart from even her sporting peers. She was invited by the International Olympic Committee to be an Athlete Role Model at the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012, while March 2013 saw Team Muirhead win the World Championships – ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, where she is favourite to take gold.
7 Sheridan 'Betty' Scott, 27
Blogger and events maven
Breaker of hearts and Gina heels, girl-about-town Scott is an eye-catching chick, with her trademark orange tresses and cat-eye glasses. A champion of fresh young fashion talent within Scotland, her wardrobe is a thing of beauty but she has a down-to-earth attitude and a fiery drive. One to be reckoned with.
8 Eunice Olumide, 26
A woman who loves life and lives it to the max, Olumide, right, was the first black girl to be nominated Model of the Year at the Scottish Fashion Awards. She was spotted at the age of 15 while shopping in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, and her glittering career has since seen her work with Gok Wan, Myleene Klass, Christopher Kane and Henry Holland. Now developing into acting and presenting work, she is also designing a collection of clothing inspired by her Afro-Scottish roots. Last year she became an ambassador for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.
9 Keara Murphy, 46
A regular on the stand-up circuit throughout the UK, Glasgow-born Murphy is now a familiar comedic voice on BBC radio with a number of shows in development. She also promotes events in Edinburgh and is planning her debut at Los Angeles's Comedy Store in 2014. A funny woman with serious intent, she's also a fan of football. Well, nobody's perfect.
10 Eilidh Marks, 27
Fundraising officer, Mary's Meals
Friends describe her as a thoughtful young woman with a passion for art, music and everything else that makes the world a more beautiful place. Her work with the global charity means she helps feed more than 842,000 hungry children every school day, and she uses her people skills and creative talents to maximise support for education as a way out of poverty in the developing world. In her spare time, she runs, plays guitar and bakes. And she can always be persuaded to re-watch something by Quentin Tarantino.
11 Morna Young, 30
Actress, playwright, writer, musician
Born in Burghead in the north-east of Scotland, this passionate redhead now lives in Glasgow. Her work includes recording the Speyside Sessions album with Kevin McKidd and being one of the lead vocalists on The Fishwives Choir charity single, while her heartbreaking new play Lost At Sea will be on stages later this year.
12 Tara Nowy, 23
With a modelling career that has taken her all over Scotland as well as Dubai, Nowy is a born traveller. Having been brought up on the road (she is the daughter of Marillion's Fish), it is perhaps unsurprising that she is also a passionate music lover, and there isn't a minute in the day when she doesn't have something blasting through speakers. She also tries to catch as many live gigs as she can, but she is more drawn to the management side of the industry, saying a singing voice wasn't handed down in the genes. Cooking was, however, and she's a self-confessed feeder, "inviting lots of people over and feeding them until they fall into a food coma, then topping that off with some ridiculous cake". But she is already looking beyond modelling, and would love to make a career in writing.
13 Emily Gilmour, 28
Born and brought up in Edinburgh, for the past couple of years Gilmour has lived in London, working as a governmental lawyer. Sporty (she has completed Tough Mudder and the Men's Health Rat Race), sociable and bright, she's as at home rock climbing or visiting art galleries. She's also a talented baker and always makes her friends' birthday cakes, each one decorated individually. How about an Eligibles cake, Emily?
14 Lindsay Brown, 37
Marketing manager, VisitScotland
Not just a pretty face, Brown is known as 'Can You Keep Up' Barbie, a woman who speaks Italian and French fluently and has taught herself a little Spanish. Just for fun. She's been scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, climbed the Inca Trail in Machu Picchu and cycled the Death Road in Bolivia, loves Scottish dancing and also manages to find time to be a great auntie to her nieces and nephews.
15 SaraJane Lynch, 27
Founder, Tru Beauty
Making serious waves in the beauty world with her range of products made for high-maintenance skin, Lynch has launched into Fenwick department stores to great acclaim. Having studied at Mary Reid and Napier's, this home-grown beauty guru is a lover of fashion, hair and beauty trends, and any suitor would do well knowing the difference between Tom Ford and a Ford Focus. Her job takes her up and down the M6 weekly for meetings with glossy magazines and to train her skincare advisors on the latest developments, but she loves nothing more than heading back to Edinburgh to spend an evening with her six-year-old daughter Lily-Mae.
16 Clare Robertson, 30
Designer, Strathberry
A skilled designer, Stewart had always been struck by how many modern brands buy their tweed from overseas when the very best is made right here in Scotland. So last year she launched Strathberry, which teams beautiful Scottish tweed with English bridle leather in luxury handbags, golf bags and other accessories. Still less than a year old, they have already been seen on the arms of the likes of Andy Garcia and Ashley Jensen, and the brand won the Most Stylish Retailer gong at the Scottish Style Awards.
17 Joy Dunlop, 29
Singer, dancer
Making a name for herself on the international folk scene, Dunlop has performed at major festivals such as Celtic Connections and Celtic Colours, as well as touring in her own right throughout the UK, Europe, Canada and New Zealand. Her debut album won the Scots New Music Awards Roots Recording of the Year and she was nominated Gaelic Singer of the Year in 2010 and 2011. A fluent Gaelic speaker, she presents shows on BBC Alba and, if we're being shallow (which we're not, obvs), she's a size eight and stands 6ft 1in tall.
18 Keira Lucchesi, 24
What started at the age of five, as a way to help her let off steam, has become a career for Lucchesi, who got the call from River City when she was just 19 to play its resident drug addict Stella Walker (she has since also explored the joys of infertility and adultery in the never-dull drama). A devotee of all things Shakespearean, she takes an annual trip to Stratford Upon Avon and has a tattooed quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream ("We are such stuff that dreams are made of") on her thigh. She teaches drama to school children during the summer holidays.
19 Claire Valentine, 42
Business development manager, Galliford Try construction
Claire has a penchant for the good things in life, and has already been invited for tea and scones with the Queen (she informs us HM is rather short). Intelligent, determined and ambitious, she has an uncanny ability to easily build relationships – which is no bad thing considering she works in an industry awash with testosterone.
20 Tammy Koslowski, 25
Owner, DIY Nails
Nail queen, lover of dogs, drag queens and gingerbread, Koslowski makes products that are stocked in Urban Outfitters, and her star continues to rise. Her sweet nature and even sweeter pooch, Betty, mean she's unlikely to be single for much longer.
21 Nalini Chetty, 31
Edinburgh-born Chetty is best known for playing Zinnie Hassoun in the BBC Scotland drama River City, but she has considerable theatre accolades to her name and, most recently, she wrote the play Finding Noor, which debuted at Glasgow's Citizen's Theatre in 2012.

Hong Kong, ChinaUpdatesPosted by Karl Kristian Larsen 29 Apr, 2010 21:37:02
I spent one and a half day in this megapolis! Trying to experience all there is to experience (as cheap as possible of course). Therefore I went to the markets, in and around Temple St. To say it at least, it was buzzing with people and a therefore great spot for people watching, which I quite enjoy after numerous trips to Stromstad and Svinesund. I went up to "the Peak" for morning exercise (not tai-chi) and of course a compulsory stop at the "city planning museum". As a Civil-Engineer-student who is interested in sustainable cities with good infrastructure, Hong Kong is a must-see! Skyscrapers everywhere and fancy roads delicately placed in between. Add some elevation challenges (at the Hong Kong side) and a location prone to stormy weather. Then you need carefully planning! Unfortunately the museum wasn't too educational, but still fair enough.
Then there was the Star Ferry, which famously runs the strait that separates the two main parts of the city. You feel some sort of absurdness (although a good absurdness) when the boat itself is centuries old and the surrounding skyscrapers belong to the future.
My last impression of Hong Kong was "the symphony of lights" which takes place each evening at 8pm. The music was not as impressive, and the lights gave me just a "been there, done that"-feeling. Still I very much enjoyed to have been there and to have done that. The same applies for Hong Kong, it is an interesting city, with a divided soul.

It is so lovely to be home!
I've done pretty much nothing but veg since we walked in the door late Friday night.
Of course when I say veg I mean unpack 4 suitcases, and wash & fold 5 loads of laundry.
But hey, that's pretty much nothing in mom terms right?
Today I've been putting together the front room of our house which previously was where kids would run around and wreak havoc at our house while parents sat in the other room and pretended their offspring didn't exist.
Well, I'm reclaiming that space for myself! Because well... I want a pretty room.
So I thought I'd share a little of the makings of that front room. There is a lot to do still but hey, it's a start.
I knew those hydrangeas needed to be cut down but I didn't realize how much until I saw this picture. I'm going to go do that riiiiiiiight now.
I have a minor love affair with these chairs. They are so gorgeous. Probably one of the favorite things in my house.
There's pallet shelves to build, rug to find, new pillows, not to mention the other empty half of the room that I can't decide what to do with. Formal dining room maybe? We'll see.

You don't need a high powered (i. high price) accountant to help you as I'm sure you're not dealing with complex tax issues. Never have I hired an accountant before, just used Turbo Tax, but your post just convinced me to find one around here as soon as possible!
Don't hesitate to sit down with the accountant and reveal him your previous returns. I find with many clients you have to dig a bit deeper and ask the third and fourth and fifth question on a matter to get to the strategy that can save you the most within regulations.
This section lends undue weight to specific thoughts, episodes, or controversies. A hypothetical Laffer curve for any given market can simply be estimated and such approximations are occasionally controversial.
A good accountant will look at your scenario, suggest methods to save on taxes now and later on, and suggest other types of advisors, this estate lawyer, who can help you with sophisticated moves requiring specific expertise. We all understand in order to get a business loan, you need to have a business plan, clean financial statements & current tax returns – at minimum. This kind of guidance isn't uncommon if you go to the appropriate CPA.
A bookkeeper and an accountant will work together to assist you to keep your company running smoothly, efficiently and legally. I've been a CPA for a good number of years already and I'm proud to say that I am not one of many accountants that individuals feel negatively about. I will certainly be using this for my next accountant choice interview.

There's also an issue of non-compliant businesses who are 'difficult to tax', evading taxes and should be brought into the tax net. In many low income countries, the vast majority of revenue is collected from a narrow tax base, sometimes because of a limited variety of taxable economical activities.
If a tax is paid on outsourced services that are not additionally charged on services performed for oneself, then it may be more economical to perform the services oneself than to pay someone else—even considering losses in economic efficiency. Now assume you could astonishingly do job A four times over, selling half your work on the market for cash just to pay your tax bill. To address these dilemmas, economists often propose simple and transparent tax structures which avoid providing loopholes.
Regrettably you really need an Accountant for your due diligence and you'll most definitely need one for when you're truly running a company. A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is an individual who has made a serious commitment to his/her instruction. If an accountant and client can not communicate, the accountant can't do his/one's occupation, no matter how remarkable his/her credentials are.
For instance, the CPA who helps me with my business targets small businesses that do not need much in the way of payroll but do need advice on business operations from time to time. So, I fully agree with you and would not set the demand for a CPA or lawyer above that of a financial planner or CFP.
Administrations in many cases are under-resourced, resources are not efficiently targeted on areas of greatest impact, and mid-level direction is feeble. Developing and developed nations face enormous challenges in taxing multinationals and international citizens.
Lately I have found myself in need of a good accountant, and I am having problem finding one. While many may think an accountant is someone you meet with once per year, an excellent accountant should be involved in your company on a more regular basis. The more people who know that you are searching for an accountant will help you to find referrals for the finest ones.

In November, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act of 2013 on a party-line vote — 216 Republicans and 5 Democrats voted aye; 7 Republicans and 192 Democrats voted no. The bill must now go to the Senate, where Democrats hold a small majority. The bill might be doomed to fail based on the lopsided House vote. But if only six Democrats vote with the Republicans, it could pass and become law.
What is FACT? FACT's supporters say it's a necessary remedy for ending an epidemic of fraudulent asbestos-related damage claims. They allege that many claimants are "double dipping" and filing duplicate claims with the several separate trusts set up by bankruptcy courts to compensate asbestos victims. However, FACT's detractors say the bill is nothing but a bullying tactic to intimidate victims and discourage them from filing legitimate claims. After the House vote, several newspapers ran editorials, no doubt based on industry press releases, about the alleged rampant fraud the FACT Act would stop. However, Meagan Hatcher-Mays of Media Matters for America pointed out that the editorials were all woefully short of evidence. Responding to a typical piece in the Wall Street Journal, Hatcher-Mays wrote:
"The WSJ spends the rest of its editorial fear-mongering about the potential for fraudulent claims being filed with the asbestos trusts. It cites only a few instances of fraud, and claims that one corporation at the center of asbestos litigation 'has evidence' of more — but it is unable to provide any specifics because the 'evidence' has been sealed by a federal judge."
Further, according to Hatcher-Mays, "There is little to no evidence of rampant fraud, and the error rate in payments from the asbestos trusts is reportedly only .35 percent." "Before plunging ahead with this misguided attempt to protect asbestos companies from lawsuits, Congress ought to commission an objective study of whether there is even a problem that needs fixing," wrote the Editorial Board of the New York Times. Here is some background on the asbestos trusts:
Through much of the 20th century, asbestos widely was used as a fireproofing insulation in ships, building materials, and machine and auto parts, among many other things. However, manufacturers continued to use asbestos long after it was known that exposure to the fibrous mineral causes severe illness, including deadly mesothelioma cancer. The asbestos industry continued to expose workers and consumers to asbestos while aggressively lobbying against government safety regulations. The FDA didn't ban most uses of asbestos until 1989, and even then courts overturned part of that ban a couple of years later.
By then, asbestos manufacturers were beginning to face lawsuits from sick and dying workers. Many manufacturers went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy to protect their assets. Bankruptcy courts required some of these manufacturers to set up asbestos personal injury trusts to compensate present and future claimants. Mesothelioma can take 40 years or more to develop after exposure to asbestos, so workers exposed before the ban are still getting sick today. It is estimated that 10,000 U.S. workers die each year from asbestos exposure.
Even so, what is the problem with safeguards against possible fraud? The problem is that the "remedy" would require the 60 or so asbestos trusts to publicly disclose, on websites, all manner of private information about claimants. Anyone in the world with a web browser could learn claimants' and family members' names and home addresses, where they work, some personal medical and financial information, and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers. In other words, claimants would be left wide open to identity theft. Further, the FACT Act would allow the defendant companies to demand any information of any sort from claimants, including information that has nothing to do with their claims. This could be a handy way to delay processing a claim indefinitely. Note that in the FACT Act "transparency" only goes one way; no disclosure requirements are placed on manufacturers.
If the purpose of the bill were only to prevent duplicate claims, it shouldn't be that difficult to set up a process through which the trusts could share information without making it public. It's too obvious that the real purpose of the bill is to intimidate victims from filing claims. Now that the holidays are over, the FACT will no doubt appear on the Senate calender. The Asbestos Cancer Victims' Rights Campaign has an online petition to stop the FACT Act.
