Pilgrimage to Mansarovar and the Holy Mt. Kailash
Mount. Kailash is also one of the highestf mountain in Tibet ( 22,022 ft). Likewise, lake Manasarovar lying at 14,950 ft. is the highest fresh-water lake in tahe world. The distance from Lhasa is approximately 2,000km. Only during the last few years have travellers beens been able to experience this region. Road conditions are difficult much of the time and we have jto make many preparations to ensure that we have a reasonable chance of reaching Kailash. We need to bring our own food and camping equipment. Basic lodges and teahouses can be found but they are rare. To travel for days on this remote plateau with the chance encounters of no mats herding their sheep or yaks is to be transferred into another way fo life, to see and become part of such a devout pilgrimage as shown by pilgrims around Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is to put some aspects of our western way of life into their proper perspective.

We have lift off! The playoffs are coming, and the Houston Rockets will be as high as a kite by then. Rip City has built champions in the past, and this Rocket ship may be flying to stardom. Houston is having a solid year so far with outstanding numbers from their dual rockets: Steve Francis and Yao Ming. Do not miss the heated games between the Rockets and the rest of the tough Midwest division on this timeless flight as the team jockeys for playoff position down the stretch.
The Houston Rockets came to the NBA as the San Diego Rockets in 1967, the same year that the American Basketball Association launched itself as a rival league. Despite having the great Elvin Hayes through the early years, the Rockets never caught on in San Diego and moved to Houston after only four seasons.
The franchise stumbled through its first five years in Houston before acquiring Moses Malone early in the 1976-1977 campaign. Malone put the club on his huge shoulders and carried the Rockets to respectability. Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon bore the big-man banner for the Rockets in the 1980s and into the 1990s, posting impressive seasons. Eventually Olajuwon would lead the Rockets to back-to-back championship banners in 1994 and 1995. With those championship wins coming over the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks respectively.
These days the Rockets are built around Stevie Franchise (Steve Francis) and skyscraper, Chinese import, Yoa Ming. They look to challenge for the title this year under new coach, Jeff Van Gundy.
June 26, 2002 - In one of the most highly anticipated draft picks of all time, the Houston Rockets selected Chinese center Yao Ming with the first pick of the 2002 draft. The 7-foot-5-inch Ming dominated Chinas basketball leagues, but many doubted that he could handle making the transition from China to the NBA. Under the intense spotlight, Ming performed well, scoring 13.5 points and grabbing 8.5 rebounds a game.
June 19, 1984 - With the first pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select University of Houston center Hakeem Olajuwon. Even with Michael Jordan in the same draft, Olajuwon was a no-brainer, and he proved Houston right. Olajuwon was part of the Phi Slamma Jamma team at Houston, averaging 16.8 points and 13.5 rebounds a game.
Houston Rockets Team NotesArena: Toyota CenterChampionships: 1993-1994, 1994-1995Head Coach: Jeff Van Gundy
The Rockets started the franchise in 1967 as the San Diego Rockets. In 1971, the Rockets relocated to Houston. Some of Houston's best have ben Hakeen Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and Calvin Murphy. The Rockets won back-to-back championships in 1994 and 1995 with their center Hakeem Olajuwon. They will look for another championship with the start of a new dynasty with Yao Ming. The Rockets came to Houston in 1971 and Rip City has been a home big men like Moses Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon and Yao Ming ever since.

Plenty of football left to watch this weekend and considering that alcohol has become a part of sports culture in America – when it comes to watching and enjoying games that means that means there is plenty of danger out there.
So, consider cautionary tale of one Alexander "Xander" Broughton this weekend before drinking a shot, tapping that next keg, shot gunning that tall boy or placing that hose in your butt.

Things are beginning to finally sink in about our world trip. Like we're, err, actually going on a, err, world trip. You know, with real airplanes and everything. Until the last week or two it all seemed a bit vague, but as we run through the "To Do" list of doom – rent apartment, get shots, become American (have British teeth done) – we're beginning to realize that soon our worldly possessions will be distilled down to a handful of bags containing some fearsomely stinky backpacker stuff.
[ Warning: NERD ALERT ]
I cannot deny that I love this phase. Miniature, shrinky, gadgetty things. Drool! Geek Snort!
Above is a picture of our packagery. I am roguishly sporting an REI "Mars" 80L pack (the big one), which is a great little number, and cheap at $200. It's big enough to hold my stuff and my guitalele (mini guitar thingie, inside the pack in this photo). My hand luggage is a Pacsafe camera backpack (black on the right). It has a nifty camera section in the bottom half, which is lined with wire mesh so that it cannot be slashed open. I'll be taking some camera gear – you don't think I actually want to LOOK at things do you? – so made a bit of an effort with security. I have no illusions though, I'll most likely have everything pinched on the way to the airport and have to check-in wearing only underpants (again).
My lovely wife will be using her super comfortable Deuter day-pack. Which is admittedly more of a several-days-pack on her (petite lovely that she is).
Then – and here's the scandalous part – her main pack ….. will be a rolling case!
That's right, I said it. Not a backpack, A CASE. Backpacker glitterati will snub this in "huff's" and "pffft's", but you know what? It actually makes a lot of sense. We are trekking in the Himalayas, but other than that we don't really need packs. Even as we fend of rabid yaks (curse their smiling faces), we'll have enough packery for what we need to do. Other than that her rugged REI roller-case will do the trick nicely. Boom.
Ok. Maybe I'm taking luggage a bit too seriously. I'm a sad case.

Parsons Dining Chair in Simple Design
The typical parsons dining chair is very simple in design with sturdy legs and a long, square back. Parsons chairs originate from the late 19th century and 20 from the Parsons School in Paris. An identifying feature of the original Parsons chair is the fact that they are always upholstered and usually have no weapons
Some variations in the parsons dining chair are in the design of the seat and backrest. A slight curvature is added to the site to give an elegant look. Arch added to the top of the back adds another element to the simplistic design features a parish seat. Instead of straight-back design, a slight curve to the back mold the human body a little more comfortably.

As dining set, a couple of parsons dining chair add arms to resemble known as "seats" while the rest of the set is the standard without arms.

Since 2011 we have consistently received positive reviews about our tours in Romania and from February 2017 we are also listed on TripAdvisor where you can check what previous travelers had to say about their experience with us.
Two couples who previously traveled with us wrote their comprehensive Romania tours reviews on their blogs: Nancy and Paul from US and John & Doreen from Canada.
In brief here is what John & Doreen have to say: "He had tailor-made a ten day tour of the Maramures and Bucovina area. The tour would include highlight visits to many UNESCO wooden churches, a steam train ride into the picturesque Vaser Valley, the painted monasteries of Bucovina plus excellent accommodations. Many very special opportunities arose through the guides's slick planning, one a traditional wedding and another a sheep milk measurement traditional event. Again thanks for a fantastic time and it will most certainly be one of our all time outstanding tour adventures. Bar none! It did feel like family and a strong bond in such a brief time frame. Wow!"
Reviews for our Genealogy Tours of Romania
Jennifer: "Book this tour immediately! Daniel, our tour guide, went above and beyond in all ways possible. He provided transportation, translation, research, historical background, appointment setting at the town hall, and even knocked on doors of residents. Ultimately, I was able to find birth records of my grandmother and her sisters, an address for where they lived, and family tree information dating back to 1800. Daniel was eager to participate in the search and when I was ready to end the tour, he found a jackpot of information held by the local self-appointed town historian, who then invited us into his home to share information and homemade palinca! Thank you, Daniel, for making the most of my trip. It was meaningful and life transforming."
Carol, Gary, Alyssa and Lauren from Texas, USA, parents and 2 daughters: "We knew we weren't able to do a typical guided tour of Romania because my husband's mother had been born near Sibiu and we planned to try and contact family as well as see the country. The travel agent's expertise made our trip go off without a hitch! He made suggestions I would not have known about and we were able to have a wonderful family trip without stress over the small details."
Diana from California, USA: "I decided to take a tour where my mother is from and we very fortunately contacted this tour company. My mother is 83 and left 72 years ago and had just faint memories of where she grew up. Our tour guide, who we didn't even know at the time, was able to find my mom's exact house which is now in Ukraine. He drove us through Romania and I must add he has a wonderful, warm personality. He was so in tune with our trip desires. I hope one day to see him again because it was such a special moment in our life!"
Reviews for our Photo Tours of Romania
Patrick from Hawaii: "This tour company coordinated the most amazing travel experience for my girlfriend and I. We did a 4 day cycling tour, a 3 day photography workshop and a visit to the Danube Delta and stayed with a local fisherman. It was an incredible, culturally enriching experience and we both said it was probably our favorite trip we had ever been on! I can recommend True Romania Tours extremely highly for anyone that would like an authentic experience, wonderful people and come away with photos and memories for a lifetime! Thanks again so much for everything!"
Leah: "As part of photography group I had no prior experience or understanding of Romania. At the end of our trip I knew a great deal. Daniel is an amazing ambassador for his country and an exceptional tour guide. We went from top to bottom and when things got cancelled Daniel found us something just as amazing to photograph. His passion for Romanian I hope is found in our photos!"
Gianni from Thailand: "I took part in a photography tour Daniel organized in rural Romania. Excellent knowledge of local history and culture! We visited off-the-beaten path places with practically no tourists around. Daniel certainly knows some of the best view points in the country, and he tailored the tour since we were a group of photographers seeking for some good landscape views, as well as people photography. One more thing to add: Daniel is a very responsible tour guide. He never interfere the privacy and comfort of the locals. Always spoke to them with a great respect and interest, so we felt we're not intruding into anyone's personal life. Highly recommended if you want to see real Romania!"
Reviews for our Cultural Tours of Romania
Svetlana from Australia: "They organized a custom tour for our group of 4 friends, and it was fantastic. We decided between ourselves what we wanted to see – countryside life, historic buildings, medieval towns, nature reserves – and they came up with a great itinerary to show us the best of Romania. We would have never seen and experienced all the wonderful things we have, has it not been for their local expertise – and true passion for sharing their country. I'm usually not one for taking tours, but the ease or organization (transport makes a big difference), private tour just for our small group, and such a tailored approach was faultless. I've been to over 40 countries, and this trip to Romania is one of the best travel experiences I've ever had!"
Guided Tour:
Matt and his father: "We count ourselves lucky to have toured Romania with Daniel. For each part, he diligently ensured that itineraries matched our interests in an authentic experience of Romanian culture. Tours were well-organized, accommodations well-chosen and interactions with Daniel so educational and enjoyable. With his connections to local people, Daniel gave us an unforgettable experience of monasteries, castles, farmers, artisans, natural places, and a culture that is unique in all the world. In short, Daniel's tours are authentic and exceptional. We would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone travelling in Romania."
Family Tour:
Diana from Florida, USA: "From the moment I sent the request I was immediately called and we began a back-and-forth conversation about the itinerary. They suggested many wonderful things to do and see. In addition, they helped facilitate what flights I should take and what airports would be best suited to begin/end our trip. Without them I would have been lost. During the trip we had the best chauffer and guide a family could ask for. My two pre-teen kids loved every second of this trip through Brasov, Sigishoara, Alba Iulia, Aninosa, Hateg, Hunedoara and Sibiu. From a very discerning mother/traveler, I cannot recommend True Romania Tours enough. Look no further for your Romanian guide because you have found the best. Multumesc!"
Reviews for our Nature and Rural Tours of Romania
Arik: "They organized a weekend tour for me and my friends; the trip included hiking the mountains around the town of Herculane, and boat trip with sightseeing on Danube (the area next to Orsova). The trip was extremely well-prepared and organized, with all details taken care of. I especially enjoyed the diverse experience of active physical leisure coupled with more relaxed boat trip; if the former was memorable for the idyllic villages lost in the mountains, the latter was special for the beauty of Danube coupled with the historical sites (such as the Veteran's Cave) on its banks. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to all those who look for a unique and diverse experience and complete detachment from their daily routines."
Self-Drive Tour:
Bernhard & Isabel from Switzerland/France: "We did a fully custom 4 week "tour of Romania". After an initial contact (Skype) to assess my interests, they made a detailed day-by-day proposal. They are obviously very knowledgeable about Romania and offered not only attractions that we certainly would not have discovered ourselves (like a visit to a sheepfold, a custom boating trip in the Danube delta, an egg-painter artist), but also proposed unique accommodations (e.g. in a castle, on a small farm in Bocovina) and arranged for guides e.g. in Maramures. Both my wife and I are very happy with the tour and feel that we got much more out of our visit than we would have had we made arrangements ourselves or made our own day-by-day plan. Planning in several uncommitted days permitted visiting attractions that were not in the schedule. We strongly recommend this tour company."

By Mark Kamibaya
You've got your fight scene all figured out. You've followed the five basic scene planning principles and have made sure to keep character at the forefront. Now for the hardest part: writing the fight scene.
A picture is worth a thousand words (or so the saying goes). So if a picture is worth a thousand words then how many words is a movie worth (24 frames per second and about two hours long)? Movies seem to have supremacy over books especially in the area of fight scenes. Action is very much a visual journey. Would you rather read:
John turned left and punched the man with his right hand, but the man dodged the punch and returned that punch with another punch straight to John's face.
or see it happen? Movies even have the advantage of hearing the sound of things we've never heard before supported by the greatest emotion mover, music. But if movies reign supreme, then why do we always hear that the book is better? There are only two advantages that books have over movies. And we need to use them to turn something visual, like action, into something experiential.
First, character connection.
The power of this is in the reader. Books can show the reader the thoughts of characters. Their internal choices and battles. Readers step into the shoes of the character and join them on a journey at the same time. This is why the book is always better than the movie. You can never be closer to someone other than yourself than with the character of your favorite book. The depth of the relationship is so close it cannot exist off the page.
Note: Actually it can exist off the page. But only divinely.
The second advantage is imagination.
This may seem to be a barrier to a complete experience. After all, isn't the eye candy of movies so much more amazing then the imagination of our simplistic minds? The advantage is, again, in the reader. Mental images created by the reader are made to support her worldview and ideas. The reader mentally makes the best possible image with the details given. Since the reader made it, the experience is better for her. Kind of like why homemade food always seems better.
So how can we use this as leverage over movies? You need to push the visual into the back corner and bring up the imagination. Instead of saying
Alex's arms were pinned against his own back. His captor had twisted Alex's left arm up making the joint bend in a way it was not supposed to. He tried to get out of the hold, but the pain forced him to stop.
Why don't you just say something like:
The captor twisted his arm. Alex struggled. A sharp sting in his elbow forced him to stop.
The reader's imagination will fill in all the blanks providing the best picture possible.
So how do you use character connection? Since your reader already has an emotional anchor with your protagonist, you should make the reader experience everything herself. The emotional anchor plus the angst of experience will force the reader to keep on reading. There are three ways to do this:
First, use your character's five senses.
A scream drilled into her ear. (feeling and hearing also a metaphor)
He tasted the metal scent of blood. (smell and taste)
The fist drew back. A hammer smashed his face. (feeling and sight also a metaphor)
Make the fight experiential.
Second, add external dialogue and internal monologue.
Remember one of the things books can do and movies can't? Hear the thoughts of characters. You can use these thoughts reveal the character of your protagonist. Like making her snobbish:
You would think a hitman would have more style while doing his job.
Or figurative:
The ground suddenly felt like a good place to have some rest. Eternal rest.
External dialogue during a fight seems a little inept, right? Well, sorry, but a story is not real life. Story dialogue is not real dialogue. Story dialogue is realistic dialogue. Big difference.
Think of movies. How many times do people speak during the action scenes? Answer: they shouldn't speak at all. During life-and-death situations we barely have to time to externally voice our feelings. But we always have people speaking in the action scenes. Why? The life of the story is in the dialogue.
Third, make them feel it.
This is a remix of using imagination. Don't describe everything. Instead, make the audience feel it.
Jen blocked the blow to the left, but the next punch met her face.
Jen blocked. Her head caved in. The ground came up to meet her. She should be dead.
Even if the punch didn't actually break her skull, that's what it felt like. And that's the way you should describe it.
I've explained the concepts of using the reader's character connection and imagination to bring the fight scene to life. However, if you don't write the scene well, the reader may skip it. The one and only thing you need to remember is increase the pace.
You can do this through paragraphs. No paragraph should go beyond five sentences.
You can use sentence structure. Use basic, kindergarten sentence structure. (Do they teach sentence structure in kindergarten?)
Don't overload your sentences. Use short vivid words. Avoid adverbs.
Use a variety of words. The fifty-third occurrence of "punch" won't go well with Mr. Reader.
Use fragments. It works. Promise.
By now you should have noticed something. You approach a fight scene in the same way you approach all scenes. Differences are minute. Similarities abound. Careful planning and considerate writing will hook your reader in to not only your fight scene, but also your story.

I have never been prouder of All Saints Church than I was yesterday. Led by our amazing young people, over 600 members of our community gathered together in a prophetic and prayerful response to the tragic events in Baton Rouge, Minneapolis, and Dallas.
From the seed of an idea to "suspend business as usual" during our education hour grew a massive outpouring of energy, passion, and deepened commitment to the hard work of dismantling systemic racism and ending the scourge of gun violence. Our silent prayers – for people of color who have died at as the result of unnecessary and unjustified deadly force and for police officers who risk their lives to protect and serve our communities – were a powerful antidote to the corrosive cultural rhetoric that only serves to stoke fear and anger in our nation.
In her powerful sermon, our priest-in-charge Zelda Kennedy challenged us to "move outside our comfort zones" in the days and weeks ahead. Please view – and then share – her sermon from our You Tube channel. Zelda urged us to pray over the Vestry's Resolution on Racial Justice with special intentions for how God can use each of us to be part of the work of interrupting racism in all its manifestations.
Yesterday was a poignant reminder that God can and will use All Saints Church as a beacon of love, justice, and compassion even in the darkest of days. I was proud that, even in this interim period between rectors, our beacon shined bright and our voices were strong. The work of dismantling racism was at the heart and soul of our Rector-elect Mike Kinman's ministry in St. Louis, and I can't wait for him to join us in continuing that work here in Pasadena. In the meantime, let's keep the momentum going!
Jason Lyon is the Senior Warden of All Saints Church in Pasadena.

SPL round-up
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Bhoys have been head and shoulders above all other teams in Scotland this term, securing the title last month, and they emphasised the point on Saturday.
All games between these two fierce rivals are always hard-fought and it was no different at Parkhead.
Celtic dominated play but looked like being frustrated as Rangers defended resiliently.
However, they had not counted on Chris Sutton producing a fine goal with time running out.
Sutton showed too much strength for his marker Frank de Boer before curling a superb shot past Stefan Klos from the edge of the box.
The win completed an Old Firm whitewash for Celtic.Mark de Vries netted twice, sandwiching an effort from Andy Tod, to cement Hearts' place in third with a 2-1 home win over Dunfermline.
Mark Wilson's 52nd-minute effort helped Dundee United secure a win at Motherwell which sees The Terrors leapfrog their opponents and into fifth place.
Dundee climbed above Kilmarnock thanks to goals at the start and end of the game from Steven Milne and Nacho Noco.
Aberdeen will hope a summer of change will revive their fortunes as they slipped to a late home defeat to Hibernian.
The Dons stayed second bottom as Garry O'Connor's last-minute goal condemned them to their 20th league defeat of the season.

Sounds like your friend is projecting their own feelings on to all white people. It's true, many white people, male and female, have a 'thing' for black people, but not all, we all have our thing, personally (I'm white) a girl with pale skin, red hair and freckles will turn my head every time.

Is SEO Enough for Local Business?
I've provided Internet Marketing, eBusiness consulting and specifically SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services to small business clients since 1995. So I'm qualified to say that in my 15 years of practice, the number one problem my clients ask me to help them solve more than any other is "more traffic".
Almost everyone struggles with driving enough traffic to their website. And quite often, my small business clients have already come to the conclusion that they need help with SEO to drive that traffic before we even meet.
So it's not surprising that companies promoting SEO services to businesses large and small abound everywhere. Driving website traffic is a challenge and an elusive problem to solve. There is clearly a demand for good SEO consultants that actually know what they're doing.
Unfortunately, I would say that finding a capable and reputable SEO consultant may be as difficult as figuring out how to do SEO yourself. At least that's what the many clients I've worked with over the years tell me. The frustration with SEO is palpable!
All the challenges, struggles and issues with SEO aside, let me share this bit of truth …
While my local business clients often believe the solution to their problem is simply more traffic, what they really expect to accomplish with more traffic to their website is more leads, more customers, more sales, and more profits.
SEO may help drive more traffic to a website, but without putting attention and focus on website conversion, all the traffic in the world isn't going to help your local business achieve the results you're really after.
The preoccupation with only focusing on more traffic is based on the false assumption or misunderstanding that once you jump the number of visitors showing up to your website, the rest will somehow automatically fall into place. We all wish it were this easy, but unfortunately, it just doesn't work this way.
For many SEO professionals, it may be sufficient to limit the results and solution to "a measurable increase in traffic to the client's website", and set expectations accordingly. Then a simple report generated from the website logs showing an increase in traffic is sufficient to validate "solution accomplished". The SEO consultant has met the deliverables and can expect payment for services rendered.
In my SEO practice, simply driving more traffic has not been sufficient to solve the local business client's dilemma. To actually drive more leads, customers, sales and profits, invariably I need to step in and help with optimizing the website's ability to convert traffic.
The truth of the matter, solving the "conversion" problem can actually be more challenging than solving the "traffic" problem. And in the end, a complete solution must integrate traffic and conversions end-to-end.
For this reason, I've shifted my SEO practice somewhat over the years. Yes, I still offer pure SEO services to clients that have a need to just focus on SEO and driving traffic. In general, these businesses already have a website that converts traffic to customers reasonably well. In other situations, I've already helped the client with conversions, and they simply need me back to help with more traffic.
But for the majority of my local business clients, SEO by itself is simply not enough. The solution needs to be a more comprehensive and complete online marketing strategy that …
- begins with the critical and "all-important" keyword research
- includes onpage and offpage SEO for the website
- combined with cutting edge traffic driving techniques including video and social media marketing
- integrates the traffic solutions with an effective and measurable conversion system including well-tuned landing pages, prospect database, and email follow-up campaigns
When we put the right end-to-end online marketing solutions together for our local business clients, then the increase in targeted traffic that we can drive to the website will result in better leads, more customers and increased sales and profits.
And that's what our "Main Street Marketing Power" solutions are all about!
Now, aren't those the kinds of results you'd like to achieve for your local business?

I could not agree with you more regarding the importance of conversion. I have a friend who has a blog and she has 3,000 readers but she has no conversion to clients. I hosted a weekly talk radio show last year and I had 6,000 listeners download my show to itunes and yet the conversion to products was not profitable.
I also know that intention creates, and my intentions for huge traffic could be blocked by my fear of a problem often referred to as "shooting elephants".
If I have a great deal of traffic and they begin ordering online I will be challenged with how to complete those orders in a timely manner since it takes me 2-4 hours to do one report. The reports are only done by me and are very personalized.
I enjoyed meeting you at the SCORE meeting last night. In speaking with you in person your knowledge and experience is extension. I look forward to more posts and will enjoy your ideas on marketing using social medias.
Pat, thanks for the nice feedback.
You bring up a valid point that takes the broader end-to-end challenge of traffic+conversions even one step further to include fulfillment. Your process can bottleneck at any point along the series of steps including the fulfillment and delivery of the product. It's these type of bottlenecks that can prevent your business from being able to scale up.
Perhaps there may be some ways to leverage a bit of automation to streamline the delivery of your personalized reports. Of course, without losing the personalization which is most likely what interests your customer in the first place. That sounds like an interesting problem to solve
Appreciate your comments …

It was James' B-day Friday. Megan and I wore our sweet sweaters and headed down to Crescent Moon for some beers. I wasn't felling all too hot so we left quite early. Saturday was pretty busy, once day i check what my R-value levels was in my attic and as I suspected it was at R-31. For those of you who don't know what that number means it's quite easy. R-value is the insulation property standard …well r-31 is not that sufficient you need at least r-38 or above. My dad and I got the fancy blower machine and 20 bags of green fiber insulation and went to town. that is stuff is pretty messy but i guess my house will be warmer. We will find out next couple of month when the bill will come in. My friend Leah was in Omaha to the way home to Grand Island, we went to Kona Grill to get some sushi and look at some scenery.
Sunday I decided it was time for some first tracks action at manawa, that is be the first one on the trail after it snows. Well i was successful in that aspects i didn't realize that riding on 3 inches of snow plus 3 inches old crusty snow makes it for pretty SLOOOOOOOOOOW ride, it was pretty good times though. That night Megan and I went to the Polish Home for traditional wigilia dinner.

The Philippine Air Force today received an official replica of the 1734 Murillo-Velarde Map of the Philippines (Carta Hydrographica Y Chorographica De La Yslas Filipinas, Manila, 1734) also known as "mother of all Philippine maps".
"This first scientific map of the Philippines was prepared by Spanish Jesuit Friar Pedro Murillo Velarde together with two Filipinos – Francisco Suarez, who drew the map, and Nicolas dela Cruz, who engraved it," the Air Force said.
The said map supports the claim of the Philippines on the disputed territories in West Philippine Sea.
The most useful feature of the map is includes "Bajo de Masinloc" and "Panacot" – now known as Panatag or Scarborough Shoal.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Velarde Inc and AIJC, Mr Mel Velasco Velarde believes that the "ownership of the map is every Filipino's birth right."
"The replica map will be displayed in the PAF Aerospace Museum and will be open for public viewing," the Air Force said.
In July, the Philippine Navy also received a replica of the said map.

I really only have a couple of things for this week (I won't collect every single link about Small Press Expo, after all) but I thought I'd take this space to talk a little bit about Small Press Expo 2013.
It was, as always, exhausting and amazing. I really didn't get to spend as much time walking the floor as I would've liked nor did I get to see so many people I wanted to see. But I'm kind of resigned to the fact that this is how the show goes for me now. I was already pretty wiped out on Saturday (but astonishingly, actually managed to eat three meals, mostly because Greg Bennett made sure of that. I am incredibly grateful for that).
The entire process of the Ignatz was pretty intense this year. I don't think a lot of people submitted until after table registrations happened. But then the books just kept coming. And coming. And coming. I know none of us expected to get so many books. I know I didn't.
But I think the strength of the nominees really showed the depth of the titles we got. There were many a few usual suspects but I know the jurors were extremely thoughtful in their choices. So many of the categories were tough choices for me.
And yes, I was clearly delighted when all the Outstanding Graphic Novel nominees were women. That just happened organically and all of those books absolutely deserved to be there.
And speaking of that, I was so thrilled Liza Donnelly agreed to host this year. She's spoken at the United Nations! When she said she was thinking about having all the presenters be women, I basically said "I would love that." While we both worked to pick a good list of presenters, she definitely gets all the credit.
The whole ceremony and experience meant a lot to me. In my earliest days of reading and writing about comics, I never thought I'd get to do something like this. I've had a rough couple of years and so it felt satisfyingly wonderful to be able to be a part of something so amazing.
(I was so happy Ulli Lust won! Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life is amazing and I loved it so much. And I am so jealous of my friend who got to hang out with her quite a bit. When he said "You two are on the same page about so many things," that really didn't help.)

I have never been a red nail polish girl. I admire them, and can appreciate their glow and sophistication, but I find them hard to wear. I've owned the OPI classics such as An Affair in Red Square, or I'm not Really a Waitress, but probably worn them once or twice a year that I let them go. The reddest red I have currently is probably OPI Smitten with Mittens, a red with gold glitter, which I actually wear pretty often for play, especially on toes. But a work red? Never had one until I came across OPI Over & Over A-Gwen, from the recent Gwen Stefani collection (I used to be a big fan many years back when she was still with her ska group whose name escapes me right now).
What drew me to the collection was actually the crystals and stickers that came with the set. But while I've yet used the crystals (waiting for a special event), I've had back-to-back, matching mani and pedi with this amazing red, Gwen's signature color. It's bright but not too bright; it works well on feet as well as hands; it complements my skin really well; and does not make me feel like I'm peddling myself. As a bonus, it is almost self-leveling, lasts at least 5 days without chipping (with minimal housework), and would look presentable even with one coat. See for yourself!

One thought on "M (Headquarters) Battery BC's"
Hello M Battery!
I had the honour of commanding the battery in 1977. I took it over from Peter Jones in Belize, returned to UK, before taking the battery to dirty Dortmund collecting our Swingfires FV 438 on the from the the Royal Armoured Corps, as an independent battery.
During my time in command I had prints made of a water colour by Gilbert Holiday of the battery at the Royal Tournament. Sadly it has faded. Do you still have the picture and have you a print that I could buy.
I look forward to hearing from you.
As Always
Louis Wilkes


text: Some questionable things have happened on and off the field - 1. Sacking a club legend who gave his all (and some loyal players) for a newbie. 2. Securing a major sponsor that is not only hideous on the jersey but Kelly may have known the blob CEO was unfit to make such a deal, so the courts have ruled. If so, Kelly must go. 3. Game of thrones. Well, we might at least save some cap money cause I'm sure any player tarnished by that betting brush does not pass Go, nor collects $200. Has the club gone pear-shaped?

Discuss male attitudes toward women in Raisin in the Sun.
- print Print
- list Cite
Walter is the major male character in the play. We see something of his attitude toward women very early in the play when he is speaking to his wife. Walter is trying to get his wife Ruth to listen to him about his plan to use his mother's insurance money to buy a liquor store. Ruth doesn't particularly want to hear about it:
Ruth: Walter, leave me alone! Eat your eggs, they gonna be cold.
Walter: That's it. There you are. Man say to his woman: I got me a dream. His woman say: Eat your eggs.
With this exchange, we see that Walter expects to be supported by his wife. Walter continues to seek Ruth's support despite her reasonable argument that his mother's insurance money is not his to use.
A little later, Walter is chastising his sister Beneatha for her desire to use some of their mother's money to go to medical school:
What fool told you you had to be a doctor? If you so crazy 'bout messing 'round with sick people—then go be a nurse like other women—or just get married and be quiet . . . "
Clearly, Walter feels that Beneatha has overstepped her boundaries with her non-traditional desire to be a doctor. The root of his anger is the fact that she will probably get some of their mother's money for what she wants, but he will not.

Breve historia del fundraising en España
by Alhelí Quintanilla
La captación de fondos comenzó en España en los años 60, con iniciativas como el Día de la Banderita, los sorteos especiales de Lotería o los mercadillos de beneficencia. Este tipo de fundraising puntual se asociaba sobre todo a iniciativas caritativas impulsadas por la iglesia Católica, principal beneficiaria por tradición de la generosidad de los españoles, que contaba con la ayuda de una legión de voluntarios.

Sunday Morning At A Glance
Times: 9:30am and 11:15am
Birth-4 years old (Both Hours)
Because children develop differently we split groups based on developmental stages rather than age groups. From the Nursery to Tinytown and then Toddlertown, each environment is designed to meet your child's needs.
We recommend parents bring a diaper bag and bottle, both labeled with your child's name. Please feel welcome to bring any comfort items your child might have such as a blanket or favorite toy. You will also want to bring a change of clothes for your child just in case it is needed.
The Kid City Preschool is an exciting and creative environment we call Clubhouse Kids. Designed for 3 and 4 year olds, your child won't want to miss a week! Each week kids experience age-appropriate Bible teaching in a fun, loving and exciting way.
Elementary (9:30 only)
Children who come to this hour participate in a small group environment. Each week your children learn biblical truths and how God works in their lives with students their own age. They learn how to talk to Him and build friendships that will last.
Elementary (11:15 only)
Children ages Kindergarten-3rd grade enjoy an action-packed service call "Kid City Live". This service is a large group atmosphere with relationship building, team competition, and break out group activities. Here children are taught application-based Bible stories through music, skits, and lesson-oriented games.
Flyte 45: Early adolescence is a crucial time in life. If you ask preteens, they would tell you they're not "in-between" anything. They are facing puberty, drugs, sex, acceptance and self-esteem issues every day. Spiritual growth from ages 10 to 12 can lay the foundation for a strong, lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. Encouraging preteens during this time of growth is the mission of Flyte 45 ministry for 4th and 5th grade.

The Ibrahimovic transfer news everybody has been waiting for is finally here. On his Instagram, Zlatan has declared that he will finally go to Manchester United.
Regardless of his huge ego, Manchester United has certainly bagged one of the best football players in the world.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic for all of his outrageous statements has the trophies to support him. The BBC notes that Ibrahimovic has won a trophy for each season of his playing career. He has not had a single year in which he did not take home a trophy. Starting with Ajax in 2001 until Paris Saint-Germain, run Zlatan has been bagging a trophy year in, year out.
Goal-wise, Zlatan has scored 392 goals in 677 games. And his last season with PSG is the most brilliant record he has up to date with 50 goals scored for a total of 51 appearances.
Zlatan's new manager, Jose Mourinho has nothing but praises for the 34-year old striker.
"Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world," Mourinho said.
"I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad," he further added.
Meanwhile, Zlatan sees Mourinho as the leader who's capable of keeping Zlatan on the mission.
The question remains: will Jose Mourinho be able to keep Zlatan and his renowned ego in check?
In his autobiography, he has said that "Mourinho would become a guy I was basically willing to die for."
He further revealed that Mourinho has the ability to manipulate him. In this light, everyone can expect Zlatan to behave in a more contained manner under Mourinho's guidance.
"Mourinho is the disciplinarian. Everything with him is a mind game – he likes to manipulate. Such tricks were new for me – all the time doing one thing to get another thing, all the time triggering me. I like these games and it worked for me; I became top scorer under him and we won the league."
With the Ibrahimovic transfer news confirmed, the striker is beyond happy in finding a home at The Old Trafford.
"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and looking forward to playing in the Premier League," Zlatan said in a Manchester United press release announcing the Ibrahimovic transfer news.
