Amazing chapter! I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope he has a full recovery very soon. I guess this means Severus isn't appearing anytime soon. Oh well. I can't wait to read the next chapter though and see what Harry's parents have to say. And also I knew that bit about the meaning of the Malfoy's name. I actually read the first book in French originally, so I sort of automatically picked up on it.
Author's Response: My dad is doing much better. He's still in PT every day, but he's come a long way from those dark days in the hospital. That all actually happened a couple of months ago, as MNFF was having some difficulties and didin't post anything for awhile, but I kept writing while they were down. So that was awhile ago. I admire people who are fluent in more than one language. I've taken a bit of German and bit more of Spanish, but can't speak either fluently. So kudos to you!
Author's Response: Thanks!
great! i loved every word- very well written please keep it up!
Author's Response: Glad you like it, and hope you keep reading.
Great chapter as usual! I enjoy the depth of detail you use, it's wonderful. I can't wait to read the rest! Yes kudos to the mods for their warp speed validations. Cheers!
Author's Response: Thanks! It's a bit of a balancing act, knowing how much detail to include, as there's always a danger of bogging the narrative down with too much detail, but I'm glad you think I hit it right. Cheers!
I'm waiting for that "happily ever after".
What about the births of Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy?
Well, What happens next? :D
Author's Response: Rose's birth is coming up soon. It's not quite time for that yet (Hermione still has two months to go). As for Scorpius, we'll see a bit of him later on.
I love this story.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness! Albus is on his way! I was very surprised that Narcissa was Lucius. I thought for sure it was Harry.
Author's Response: That was deliberate deception on my part. I wanted you to think it was Harry. But yes, Baby Al is on his way.
*Claps in a circle*
Author's Response: *Bows in a circle*
Such horrible cliffies you have! I thought the fight between Winky and Kreacher was hilarious, but other than that this was a bit of a depressing chapter. Not depressing as in bad, but as in melancholy and now Ginny is sick again! Ah!
Author's Response: Kreacher and Winky both had such strong personalities in the series, and both were so full of elfin pride that I thought they were likely to come to blows if they were in service in the same house. I had fun writing about the battling house-elves, and with Ron caught between them. . . Well, the possbilities were endless. Thanks for your review.
beautifu, my eyes welled up
Author's Response: Thank you. It's very kind of you to say so.
Wonderful, and will be chewing fingernails in anticipation of the next two!
Thanks so much.
Author's Response: Oh, now don't chew your fingernails. It's not good for you! I'll get the next one up soon, I promise. Thanks for your ocmments.
beautiful, just beautiful
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
okay i lied when i siad all the other chapters where my favoried this beats all of them i love this chapter it is so good great job!
Author's Response: Well, either I'm progressing or you are. The next one is kind of a tear jerker, but the one after that should be funny. Thanks for your comments.
Draco had better not get tangled up with those wizards again! He's going to have a young child to look after soon. And I like Astoria, she seems very nice, at least the way you write her. I just really hope that Scorpius turns out alright. Are Andromeda and Narcissa going to have a reconcillation? That isn't spelled right, but I have no idea how to spell it, I'm terrible at that.
Author's Response: Draco's always tried to keep his dad happy, and Lucius hasn't enough conscience not to embroil his only child in his schemes. JKR did say that Scorpius was a big improvement on his old man, and I figured that had to be due to Astoria, as the Malfoys (Mal foi means "bad blood" in French, by the way) will never get gold stars for parenting. I don't anticipate a reunion between Andromeda and Narcissa in this story, but there is a possibility I'll write about it in a future story.
awe poor little albus... such a big fight so young... and that was a sweet moment with ron talking to hermione's belly
Author's Response: It is so sad to see babies suffer. They don't know why and it's just pitiful. I liked Ron talking to Hermione's belly too. You just know he'd be embarrassed to be caught at it, wouldn't he?
do the chapters get to where hermione has her baby? Anyway great again!!!!!! I can never maintain perfect writing like that for over a chapter, but YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant wait for the next one and I believe congratulations are in order for the mods!!! HORRAY!
Author's Response: Yes, I do plan to cover the birth of Rose. There will also be an Epilogue that takes place when Rose & Albus are 7 years old. That will transition into my other fic (already finished - I wrote that one first!) "The Letter." So if you haven't read that yet, you can check it out once Great Expectations is concluded because it picks up right where this one leaves off.
*claps for another speedy update* I don't think I've ever seen the mods go so fast for validations! Lets hope that there's going to be some more of that... ;) Great job, as always.
Author's Response: Yes, they are on an efficiency drive, aren't they? Thanks for your comments.
Another excellent chapter, as always... I love your writing
Author's Response: Thank you! I love our reviews!
Author's Response: I assume that means you approve. Thanks!
Well if Kingsley knows what is going on, then Harry cannot be in too much trouble. I really liked how you foreshadowed Victoire and Teddy. If you write another story after this one, can it be about them? Pretty please?
Author's Response: I've been mulling over a Teddy story for a long time, but so far it hasn't come to fruition. Maybe over the summer it will. Thanks again!

Years ago, my mother read somewhere that a child could be a concert pianist after seven years of piano instruction. Therefore, she immediately started the search for an instructor so I could learn to play piano. She scheduled said piano lessons half an hour away for the next seven years of my life. I hated driving to piano lessons. I hated practicing. I hated being forced to do something that was supposed to be fun. I. Hated. Piano. Period. So, as any strong-willed child would, I refused to practice and tortured my teacher every Thursday afternoon for the better part of my elementary and middle school years. Based on these memories, I vowed not to force my children to learn any instrument. Of course, I knew in the back of my mind that learning to read music had proved to be very useful in my life. But, I didn't want to be "that mom."
So, you can imagine my surprise when each of my daughters began begging to play an instrument. Out of the blue one day, my 8-year-old asked to learn to play the piano. I tried to teach her some of what I remembered, but it had been nearly 25 years since I played. I barely remembered the notes. I had just decided I would have to somehow fit in another out-of-the-house lesson when I was introduced to Team Piano Music School. I'll be honest, the appeal of piano lessons taught inside our home was strong, but I was wary. Could it be possible to learn to play the piano via Skype?
My daughter was ecstatic. This new adventure combined her favorite things: (1) the piano lessons she had begged for and (2) not changing out of her pajamas. And I was happy that she would be receiving one-on-one piano lessons with a live teacher via Skype! Now, to see if Team Piano Music School could live up to the expectation.
Our first lesson went very well. Apparently, some of what I had taught her had stuck in her memory, and she was able to move quickly through the first few pages of the book. She was thrilled and Ivan, our new instructor, was responsive and easy to work with. He managed to instruct me how to use Skype (without me having to call in the teenager) and set up the iPad. He assigned songs and theory lessons, and my daughter eagerly practiced. But still, I wondered was this just the excitement of a new thing?
After nearly three months, I can safely say that the excitement has not worn off! I am amazed at how much my beginner student has learned in such a short time. Ivan is a joy to work with and is always patient (even on the day we lost the iPad and missed the lesson). He has worked to accommodate our schedule which sometimes can get overtaken by field trips and vacations. He is responsive and knowledgeable. And the best part is that my daughter has a genuine love for the piano.
In fact, the lessons were so successful that we will continue them even now that our "review" lessons are over! My daughter is looking forward to lessons beginning again once the Christmas holiday is behind us. So I can honestly say that we recommend Team Piano Music School lessons and that we love them ourselves! If you have a child who would like piano lessons–whether a younger child like mine or a tween- or teenager–and you'd like to avoid having one more place to go each week, give Team Piano a try! Your child might just love the chance to learn to play piano in pajamas too.
~Dachelle (and her 8-year-old daughter)
Like Dachelle mentioned above, my daughter and I are so glad to have the chance to try out these online piano lessons from Team Piano Music School! My oldest daughter, age 12, is the one in our family who got to do these lessons. She met with Ivan each week via Skype.
My daughter enjoyed the lessons, and I enjoyed watching her learn and watching how Ivan used technology to teach her. It's so amazing that Ivan and Team Piano Music School are based in New York, New York, yet my daughter's lessons were done in our home many states away! I was also very impressed with the dual cameras that Ivan used for the lessons. They allowed a hand view up top as well as a normal face-to-face view. This allowed the lessons to be thorough, and it allowed my daughter to better understand things like finger placement–which is important in learning piano!
Fitting one more class into our schedule was not something we needed to do, but I really wanted piano lessons included in our homeschool this year. I knew it would be challenging to find the time for piano lessons, and I wasn't sure if we could find a qualified piano teacher in our area. There are many benefits to living in a small town, but finding quality music instruction isn't usually one of them! But even in our small town, we have the internet.
I just love the internet! As a homeschooler, it opens so many doors to new learning opportunities–like the piano lessons offered through the Team Piano Music School. Using Skype, my daughter Lily was able to take private piano lessons from Ivan Todorov. Ivan is a professional pianist who has undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano. But even with his piano degrees, he's able to teach students in a way they can understand.
Using the internet and doing lessons via Skype at home helped eliminate many logistical problems that are normally associated with piano lessons! Lily's convenient, in-home lessons fit easily into her schedule, and there was no commute to disrupt the flow of her school day.
Ivan began by contacting us to schedule Lily's weekly lessons. After learning more about Lily's musical background, he suggested the music books she would use in class. My daughter began her lessons the following week, and I was able to step back at that point and let her take responsibility for her own lessons.
Although the lessons were conducted remotely, the instruction was very personal! Ivan paid attention to the details–noticing hand positions, finger placements on the keys, and the sounds of the notes as she played. Lily used an iPad for her lessons and positioned the screen so that Ivan was able to see her hands and fingers while she played. He was conscious of my daughter's learning pace, repeating practice when needed and allowing her to progress when she had mastered something he had taught her. My daughter noted that Ivan's instruction was detailed and easy to follow and that he was very patient. He demonstrated the lessons when needed. The lessons, surprisingly, were just as thorough as if he were sitting right beside Lily teaching her in person!
And, similarly to in-person lessons, Ivan assigned homework for my daughter. It included not only the lessons he taught during class, but also music theory. This made for complete piano instruction.
For my family, Team Piano Music School proved to be the next best thing to on-site classes, or maybe even a little bit better! Nothing beats having quality and convenience in your own home.
~Jennifer (and her 13-year-old daughter)
More Information:
What is Team Piano Music School? And how can you know if it's the right fit for your family?
Ivan, the owner and one of the teachers at Team Piano Music School, offered 3 Hip Homeschool Moms team members 12 free lessons in order to try out his online piano lessons and share about them with you. We didn't know before this that online piano lessons were even an option, so it was exciting to learn more and for Dachelle, Jennifer, and Jamie to get to try them out with their children! We hope you enjoyed reading about each of their experiences with Team Piano Music School.
Lesson Days and Times:
At most music schools, lessons are only available in the afternoons. But Team Piano Music School offers lessons on week day mornings too. That makes lessons much more convenient for homeschooling families. Since many of us "do school" in the mornings, piano lessons can flow right into our regular homeschool hours without causing a disruption in schedule.
During the upcoming semester (beginning in January 2017), available lesson times will be from about 10:00 a.m. until noon (possibly 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.). NOTE: These are all Eastern times, so you'll need to adjust for your time zone. And another great thing about these online lessons is that you save 50%! Morning lessons in your own home are about 50% less expensive than afternoon, in-person lessons. And without the drive, you really save even more! Morning lessons without a commute in your own home? Yes, please!
A Chance to Win Free Lessons and a Discount for Early Birds!
Enter below for the chance to win 8 free lessons from Ivan and Team Piano Music School (a $200 value)! And for those of you who don't win free lessons but who would like to take advantage of a 25% discount, just contact Team Piano Music School and sign up for lessons by January 31st! (No discount code is needed.) IMPORTANT NOTE: Please contact Team Piano Music School to sign up for your student's lessons as early in January as possible. You will still receive the 25% discount if you sign up later in the month, but for planning purposes and to be sure the best days and times are available, it's a great idea to sign up by January 15 if at all possible.

What is Results-Based Financing?
Results-Based Financing (RBF) is a tool to give money to social programs that work. In a Results-Based Financing model, a "payer" (a foundation, international donor, or government) conditions its payment to a service provider (an NGO or private company) on desired outcomes (see chart below). Thus, Results-Based Financing allows social programs to focus on achieving real impact rather than following a set of rules. At Instiglio, we currently work with two types of Results-Based Financing models, Impact Bonds and Performance-Based Contracts.

On DeepGenre: What Works on an Author Website?
December 19, 2007 @ 3:25 pmToday on DeepGenre, I've posted a little article asking for reader and book-buyer feedback on author websites, in particular SF author websites. Quick excerpt:
So my question today is this: what do you find useful on an author's website? I think we can all agree that excerpts help, and at the very least, having a blog doesn't hurt. But what about the rest? Do you read additional material like chapter annotations, deleted scenes, and first drafts? Do you actually refer to online glossaries and the like? Does this stuff make you more likely to buy the author's work? (And when you do buy her work, do you appreciate having lots of links to bookstores that carry it?)
Go ahead and join the discussion if you get a chance. Your input will be invaluable when it comes time to post the new websites for Infoquake and MultiReal. Really, people, I'm doing this all for you.

Who decides this play's climax? You!
A jury debates the guilt of a man accused of murdering his girlfriend, in a new play. And you, the audience, take the final call
Jury trials in India were abolished after the infamous Nanavati case of 1959, where Mumbai-based naval commander shot his wife's lover, and later surrendered to the cops. The jury found the accused innocent, although the Bombay High Court thought otherwise and dismissed the verdict. But, what if jury trials had continued in India?
Left to right: Michael Nazareth, Tanishaa Mukerji, Divya Palat, Aditya Hitkari rehearsing their lines
It's a concept Mumbai-based theatre director Divya Palat has explored in her upcoming play, The Jury. Nine men and three women — including an expectant mother — sign up for the exercise, the first of its kind in India. The overzealous lot doesn't care about the case, and ulterior motives are soon revealed.
The end is not without its twists. Before the concluding act, 91 audience members seated in the first three rows are asked to vote 'guilty' or 'innocent', via a voting metre. They have 20 seconds. The final act is tweaked depending on the audience verdict. "I have written about 10 different endings for the play for which my cast members have rehearsed. So, even if you watch the show twice, you may have watched different endings," says Palat, an exponent of interactive theatre. "In the play, the audience is the real jury and the actors, the mock jury," she adds.
The idea struck the legal drama and thriller fan when crime thriller podcast Serial took the world by storm last year. "I wanted to explore whether legal systems in other countries, such as jury trials, are more effective. What if we put 12 Indians, who came from different cultural backgrounds, in a room and ask them to deliberate over a case? How would that work?"
The one-and-a-half-hour-long play, which took three months to write, picks up right after arguments in the case of the accused Aftab Khan, on trial for the murder of his girlfriend, are closed. The play is loosely based on the frequent cases of sexual assaults in the city, she says. "But unless you are not at the crime scene, you'll never know the truth. Every story has a second side to it. Therefore, in jury trials, there is always a 50 per cent chance of getting wrongly convicted," she adds.
And, whodunit? "I don't know myself!" she laughs.
Cast: Aditya Hitkari, Divya Palat, Dinyar Tirandaz, Jehangir Karkaria, Michael Nazareth,
When: August 7, 8, 9
Where: Jamshed Bhabha Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point
Entry: Rs 500 – Rs 5,000

There's no point in running these 'No anime is dropped forever' posts if I never actually go back and watch some of these dropped anime again when given sufficient evidence that it will be worth my time. And so after getting plenty of recommendations to pick up Clannad ~After Story~ again, that's exactly what I did.
Picked up on: Episode 8
Why I picked it up again: Because those first 8 episodes are apparently a load of crap. There's also the fact that I kinda wanted to see what happened to Tomoya in the future, seeing as he's one of my all-time favourite characters. Then there's that elephant in the room that the After Story is rated number 1 on MAL. Mainly though it's because I liked the first season and figured that somewhere along the line it should recapture the magic of the previous season.
Review: Starting on episode 8 reminded me why I dropped this show. It was some stupid continuation of the gangland war I had conveniently forgotten about and was yet another episode that had nothing to do with Tomoya and therefore was utter crap. It felt nothing like the rest of Clannad and felt like it was there to please fans of the side characters. Seeing as the side-characters are just a bunch of moeblobs (aka: not Tomoya) these episodes were boring. Not hopelessly boring mind you. It did have Tomoya in a punch up, but that was its only saving grace.
Then the After Story actually started and it hit me again: How scarily similar Tomoya was to me. It was just Tomoya going about his daily life, trying to get a job and everything, but it hit me in such a scary way I got chills down my spine. But this feeling was different from the one I got watching the first season. It was the effect of the break I had from watching season 1 and this season, which must be about a 2 year gap. Watching the first season was seeing someone who was similar to me as I was right at that moment in time. After Story Tomoya was me if I had taken a different path in life.
Rather fitting considering this is based off a choose-your-own-path style game. It was eerie seeing what was effectively me if I had taken a different direction in life (I'd prefer to keep how my personal life panned out but considering how I'm sitting here in university writing a blog about foreign cartoons I'm sure you can do some educational guesswork of your own). For the first time in my life I honestly felt the urge to play an eroge, simply to see whatever other path my/Tomoya's life could have taken, although I doubt they have a version where Tomoya becomes an otaku.
It did lose it's appeal as the newlywed life began but mainly from a personal perspective. As expected, it never mirrored how the first season felt and it went down the path of human drama. Now generally I despise human drama (it ruined the second season of Honey and Clover for me) but Clannad was, for the most part anyway, quite a bit better and more subtly powerful than its counterparts. I though the B~I~G~S~P~O~I~L~E~R of episode 16 would be the most eye-rolling scene in existence but it was actually done very well. It never made me cry or anything, seeing as I'm incapable of doing that to anything other than Grave of the Fireflies, but it was excellently done. Episode 18 though, which was meant to be even more powerful an episode, was Clannad sticking two fat middle fingers in the face of subtlety and ploughing on with as much tears and lipservice as possible. I'd always thought the relationship with Tomoya's father was one of the best played parts of Clannad and to deconstruct that in such a painfully blatant way was awfully disappointing but it did offer a well-rounded end to the entire series.
Apparently there were more episodes after that. I must have forgotten about them because of how awful they were. Then I have vague memories of some sort of fudged mystical ending, but not before pointlessly killing a little child. Yup, the After Story started at episode 9 and finished on episode 18. So over half of this series was utter crap? Why aren't people taking that into account when they all go ga-ga over this series? Then again, this is coming from someone who rates Death Note as the greatest anime of all time so take that statement with a pinch of salt.
Was it worth picking up again: Yes, I suppose. I really could've done without those first 8 episodes though.

Jeffrey Meyerhofer, Eden Prairie
Reprinted from Eden Prairie News, May 27, 2010
by Jeffrey Meyerhofer
I want to applaud the great work that Rep. Jenifer Loon has been doing representing Eden Prairie (42B) in St. Paul.
I am continuously impressed with her involvement in the community, her values as a person, her ability to listen to her constituents and her capability to translate what she hears into action in St. Paul. She is one of the most enthusiastic and restless representatives I have ever met. Jenifer has a passion for the job and it is evident in her energy whether that is attending a speaking engagement, meeting with small business owners or simply listening t a constituent. Ms. Loon's drive, her ability to listen and her capacity to execute makes her an ideal representative for Eden Prairie.
In this challenging time at the State Capitol, Eden Prairie is lucky to have someone with the aptitude, talent and devotion that Jenifer Loon has shown in the past two years. Thank you Jenifer!

For those times when you really, REALLY need to make it to the south 40 quickly.
Nicest piece of farm transport I've ever seen. (Though my brother's '38 John Deere tractor is pretty sweet!)
It isn't an oil head but it is an oil head style boxer (6 cyl.)
It is loads of fun for a cruiser (ie, peg/chrome part dragger)
Parked outside the hotel in after a bath. I've been told that it's a rare color.
I'm a new member and wanted to show off my '01 R1100R. Picked it up in Birmingham, AL four weeks ago and rode it back to Chicago over the weekend. I previously rode an '83 Kawasaki KZ650H; the BMW has a better ride and slightly more torque.
The ride from Birmingham to Paducah, KY was great. Going through the back roads of Northern AL and Central TN is a treat and finishing up at northern entrance of the Land Between the Lakes National Park would make for a great weekend ride. I never knew that the Feds had both Elk and Bison herds there.
Here is mine with mearly 95,000 miles on her near Cloudcroft New Mexico a few weeks ago.

Government spending cuts announced today spell the end of child trust funds (CTFs). Payments at birth will fall to £50 from 1 August 2010 and stop altogether from 1 January 2011. The government has estimated that the cut could save £320m.
Payments cut for 2010
Currently, all new-born children receive a voucher for £250 to open a child trust fund (CTF) account. The money can be invested in a cash CTF, a stakeholder CTF or a shares-based non-stakeholder CTF. From 1 August 2010, the government will cut its initial contribution to £50. For low-income families, payments at birth will be reduced from £500 to £100.
Disabled children will still receive the £100 promised by the previous government for 2010 and severely disabled children will receive £200.
At 7 years old, all children currently receive a further government contribution to their CTF account. These will cease from 1 August 2010.
Payments ended from 2011
From 1 January 2011, all government contributions to CTFs will cease. Payments that would have been made to disabled and severely disabled children will be redirected to other forms of support.
Tax-free saving for children
The immediate future of existing CTFs is unclear. At the moment, they are tax-free savings accounts into which parents, friends and relatives can contribute up to £1,200 each year.
Other tax-free investments for children include NS&I Children's savings certificates and premium bonds.

There 3-Step Scientific Guide to Buying the Right Television for Your New Home
Buying a television is a three step job to begin with. And that is apart from the decision to buy a new one. One of the reasons why you may want a new television is you simply want it. You want to spend money on one of the latest gizmo or you are tired of looking at the same television for years together. Televisions normally give services of 10 years or more but boredom can spiral you into buying something new. The worst thing to buying a new television is the confusion associated with zeroing on the right one in terms of price, viewing pleasure and the pride involved in owning the latest.
However if you decide to go about buying a new television scientifically then everything is easy. It is actually a three step procedure that you may want to follow. So get a pen and lots of paper and start your endeavor with the first step.
Step # 1:
The first question you will encounter is what type of television you want to buy. If you have a college bound son or daughter they will have given you fair idea of what they would like to have, else you have to go solo. Let's presume you have to go solo. There are 4 types that you can choose from amongst – 3D, Plasma TV, LCD/LED TV and Projection TV. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and for most part the size of the room and the budget will be the deciding factor.
3D is advantageous in that they can also be used for viewing 2D programs and that means no further investment. It is really a two-one advantage that you cannot lose sight of. However price can play havoc, but it worth considering. Plasma TV is quite good; they have a wider viewing angle, save space and cost a lot less than 3D. They have a slimmer look and can be mounted on the wall. The disadvantage is plasma televisions are only good if you get a matching broadcast quality. Go for the LCD/LED if you want a wide range of choice. They are usually light and easy to transport and prices are moderate. Projection television can be delightful if you have a big room and matching equipment to convert the room into something like a home theatre. Decide your priorities and go to the second step.
Step # 2:
Deciding the right screen size is very important after you have decided on the television type. Bigger screens are more expensive than smaller one within the same type. And buyers decide to buy the biggest that their budget will allow. However that is not the sound thing to do. The size of your room and the distance at which you normally sit to watch television is what matters most. Here is small checklist that you consider. A little less or more don't matter.
1.Screen size 15-26 in – 6-8 feet
2.28-36 in – 8-10 feet
3.36-42 in – 10-12 feet
4.Greater than 42 – 12 feet or more
Step # 3:
This isn't really a big step. Get to your internet connection and start looking for factory prices. Compare the discounted prices from dealers and order. In the milieu and excitement don't forget the after sales warranty. Provide some price allowance for some brands. They cost more because they give you psychological satisfaction, and that is all to it, nothing more and nothing less either.

Dabangg Stars share Jiyo Dil Se moments at MY FM
New Delhi : Enthralled with the phenomenal response and feedback received by Dabangg, even before its release, the star cast paid a special visit to the 94.3 MY FM studios in Jaipur. The gang comprising of Salman Khan, Arbazz Khan and Sonakshi Sinha was welcomed by the MY FM RJ's and in the midst of pulling each others legs and teasing each other approximately pretty much everything, they shared interesting anecdotes from the film and treated MY FM listeners to exclusive Jiyo Dil Se moments from the film.
When asked, what does Salman Khan like about Jaipur? The famous Robin Hood Pandey promptly replied, "I not only like Jaipur but am totally in love with the Rajasthan state. There is an attachment with this place, which compels me to come here time and again."
When the topic of discussion, shifted to the promotion of the much awaited Dabangg, Salman said' "The fans, listeners and viewers are promoting the movie more than us. The promos and songs are already a hit. We are delighted by the love and affection our fans are showing towards the movie, their mouth to mouth publicity is doing wonders for the movie".
"Karan Johar opted to pre pone the release of his movie We Are Family, as the release date was clashing with that of Dabangg", to this Arbazz replied, "I think Karan would be the correct person to answer this. Though I heard him saying in an interview that he saw some promos of Dabangg and relying on his feedback, he decided not to release his movie along with Dabangg. According to me, it was a very intelligent and calculated move, as we had decided that Dabangg will release on Id, and our decision would not have changed."
Expressing her excitement of being associated with the film Sonakshi added by saying "I am just happy and feel very lucky to start my career with such great actors. I could have not asked for a better opportunity to come by."
Commenting on this occasion, Mr. Harrish M. Bhatia, CEO, 94.3 MY FM said, "Inviting celebrities to our studios across all the stations is a conscious effort from our end to bring bollywood closer to our listeners. Sharing the Jiyo Dil Se moments of the celebrities with our listeners helps us in building a special connect with them. We wish Dabangg a successful journey ahead. "
When asked about the Jiyo Dil Se moments of the stars, Salman and Sonakshi replied that they truly feel a connection with Jiyo Dil Se as they live each moment of their lives to the fullest and think Dil se. To which Arbazz added that he will be honest enough and agree that his decisions are a combination of Dil Se and Dimagg Se moments.
The star cast ended by saying that unanimous people have quoted Dabangg a must watch. This belief of their fans ranging from senior citizens to kids has given them the confidence to keep delivering the very best. Through the platform of 94.3 MY FM we would like to thank all our viewers for their everlasting love and affection.

Bend, Oregon (PressExposure) May 31, 2007 -- In one of the hottest real estate markets in the world, life as a real estate agent in Dubai, U.A.E. is most often survival/combat mode. The fact that many property sellers have multiple agents, due to non-exclusivity can make selling properties and earning a living downright cutthroat.
Landmark Properties, one of the United Arab Emirates' leading real estate consulting firms saw an opportunity in the face of this daunting challenge and called in real estate tactical expert, Dirk Zeller. As the first American real estate coach & trainer to enter the region, Dirk Zeller spent two-full days (May 17th & 18th) with 60 of the top agents in Dubai today.
Dirk's task was to use his world renowned, award-winning techniques to construct a customized success strategy for the Landmark Properties agents. His strategy included sales and management styles, as well as, business and market specific techniques and tactics. Agents were taught how to become successful in real estate no matter the market conditions. Specific areas addressed were: creating competitive points of difference in order to protect your commission, buyer conversion tactics to convert and commit the buyer every time, lead management & conversion, and successful business management practices.
"The continued training and development of our consultants is a major priority for Landmark Properties, and we are delighted to be able to bring a speaker of Dirk Zeller's caliber to Dubai. Landmark Properties is at the forefront of real estate training in the UAE and continues to strive to raise the standards of the industry through the professionalism, quality, and training of our consultants. Bringing in Mr. Zeller ensures that our clients get the best practices and service in the industry."
~ Craig Johnson, General Manager, Landmark Properties, Dubai UAE
"One of the major challenges faced by agents in Dubai today is a huge difference in the quality and service of real estate agents. In Dubai, as in the US, the discount agent is rarely the best person to service people's needs, and it's up to individual agents and companies to be able to convey the clear differences and benefits among agents that are available in the marketplace. For any agent in the world, this can be the key to how they protect their commission and their livelihood!"
~Dirk Zeller, CEO of Real Estate Champions, Inc

I was at Nordstrom today and they had a Notte Gioco, and just for kicks I put it on my shoulder and looked in the mirror....and fell in with the shape and how it looked! So now I must have a Gioco.

Last week, I posted a list of quotations in hopes of getting some unbiased responses from some whom I know to be readers of John Piper. I wanted to get a comparison of Piper's teaching with the quotes offered. My reason was that I see some strong similarities between some of these quotes and Piper's approach. I wondered if someone else who is more familiar with Piper could tell me if I were right or wrong. Alas, no one chose to enlighten me — perhaps they thought I was baiting them, perhaps they weren't interested, perhaps my estimation of my readership is greatly exaggerated (and I think that I have only a few readers!). In any case, a couple of people have asked who the quotes were from, so I will offer the answers here.
All of the quotes come second hand via a book by Elmer Towns, Understanding the Deeper Life. Towns is trying to systematize various types of teaching regarding Christian Experience. In the section from which I am getting these quotes, Towns is discussing what he calls the 'deeper life experience'. He sub-categorizes this view as 'Christological deeper-life', 'Holy Spirit deeper-life', and 'soteriological deeper-life'. He offers two quotations illustrating each sub-category:
Christological deeper-life
On the contrary, the life that God has given us is the life of His son. All whom He has called He has also justified, and all whom He has justified He counts as already glorified. God never begins anything that He does not bring to an end. The world may start that which it cannot finish, but God says: "He that hath begun a good work in you, will keep on perfecting it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1.6, Gk.). Here are all three of the great doctrines of God's work within us. He which hath begun a good work in you — that is justification — will keep on perfecting it — that is sanctification — until the day of Jesus Christ — that is glorification. There is no change in God, and there will be no change in His work in us.
This one is Donald Grey Barnhouse, Life by the Son: Practical Lessons in Experimental Holiness (Philadelphia: Revelation Publications American Bible Conference Association, 1939), 33. quoted in Towns, p. 23.
The apostle Paul gives us his own definition of the Christian life in Galatians 2:20. It is no longer "I, but Christ." Here he is not stating something special or peculiar — a high level of Christianity. He is, we believe, presenting God's normal role for a Christian, which can be summarized in the words: l live no longer, but Christ lives His life in me.God makes it quite clear in His Word that He has only one answer to every human need — His Son, Jesus Christ. In all His dealings with us He works by taking us out of the way and substituting Christ in our place. The Son of God died instead of us for our forgiveness: He lives instead of us for our deliverance. … It will help us greatly, and save us from much confusion, if we keep constantly before us this fact, that God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only, namely, by showing us more of His son.
This one is Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life (Fort Washington, Penn.: Christian Literature Crusade, 1973), 9. quoted in Towns, p. 23.
Holy Spirit deeper-life
I want here boldly to assert that it is my happy belief that every Christian can have a copious outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a measure far beyond that received at conversion, and I might also say, far beyond that enjoyed by the rank and file of orthodox believers today. It is important that we get this straight, for until doubts are removed faith is impossible, God will not surprise a doubting heart with an effusion of the Holy Spirit, nor will He fill anyone who has doctrinal questions about the possibility of being filled.
This one is from A. W. Tozer, The Divine Conquest (Harrisburg, Penn.: Christian Publications, 1950) 121, 122. quoted in Towns, p. 24.
The fullness of power is the heritage of every Christian! It may be an unclaimed heritage, but the power of God which enables a Christian to witness for Christ and win souls is the right of every Christian. Not to be filled with the Holy Spirit, not to be endued with power from on high, is to miss the highest good, and fail to claim the Highest blessing, offered to every child of God. … That the power of Pentecost is for every Christian is made clear; first, by the promises which are to all alike; second, by the New Testament examples; third, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in every Christian makes the enduement for service logical for every Christian; fourth, by the fact that the soulwinning task demands supernatural power; and, fifth, because the Word of God clearly commands Christians to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
This one is from John R. Rice, The Power of Pentecost or the Fullness of the Spirit (Murfreesboro, Tenn.: Sword of the Lord Publishers, 1976), 277, 278. quoted in Towns, pp. 24-25.
Soteriological deeper-life
'I have been crucified with Christ,' says Paul. What does this mean? In principle, it means that my right to myself is annihilated, as His concern and love for others is expressed through me. Identification, that's the first thing. Not simply to die to myself, but to live in Him. Bless your hearts, evangelism isn't a 'project', it's a way of life! 'Feed My sheep. Identify yourself with My interests in other people,' says Jesus. Oh, to be so satisfied, identified with Jesus that my life is spoiled for everything but His will! Am I more concerned with my right to live, than with my daily dying to Him? Which are you more concerned about? Paul says, 'I die daily' — do you? Do I? Is that my major passion?
This one is from Alan Redpath, "The Price of Christian Service," The People and the King, ed. David Porter (Kent, England: STL Books, 1980), 154. quoted in Towns, p. 25.
It takes a long time to come to a moral decision about sin, but it is the great moment in my life when I do decide that just as Jesus Christ died for the sin of the world, so sin must die out in me, not be curbed or suppressed or counteracted, but crucified. No one can bring anyone else to this decision. We may be earnestly convinced, and religiously convinced, but what we need to do is come to the decision which Paul forces here. … I cannot reckon myself "dead indeed unto sin" unless I have been through this radical issue of will before God. Have I entered into the glorious privilege of being crucified with Christ until all that is left is the life of Christ in my flesh and blood?
This one is from D. W. Lambert, Oswald Chambers An Unbribed Soul (London: Marshall, Morgan Ea Scott, 1972), 62. quoted in Towns, p. 26.
Now, I don't have an axe to grind against the deeper-Christian life movement (although I do tend to mock its extremes). There are some flaws to Keswick thinking, but some valuable teaching is produced by the Keswick movement in some of its forms, especially the more early forms. Many good men were involved in its initial efforts and their lives and work are nothing to sneer at.
My interest in the comparison with Piper is my thesis that Piper is promoting a neo-Keswickian experience oriented theology in his whole 'Desiring God' mantra. It seems to me that many who follow Piper are quite critical of Keswickian teaching, but at the same time are pursuing almost the same experience orientation they decry in others [albeit with somewhat different terminology]. I suppose I might be forced to read more Piper myself (Lord, would you require so much??) in order to prove or disprove my thesis.

John Lennon Essay Research Paper John Lennon
John Lennon Essay, Research Paper
John Lennon's music reflected the life he led and the things in which he believed. Now Twenty years after his death, his music still speaks to people with great relevance. John Lennon, a member of the Beatles Was one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Even though he was cut down before his time, his lyrics remain as powerful and reflective today as ever. His enduring lyrics weave threads of his life, to create a beautiful tapestry of songs, which will endure and be sung for generations to come.
Weiner says that John's death brought an end to whatever was left of the miserable memories of the sixties to a conclusion. He said: "Yet Lennon lives on: not just for his now greying fans, not just for younger kids just discovering The Beatles, but in some unexpected and surprising ways ( Weiner)."
One example of how his music is echoed in today's society, was evidenced by at the last Republican National Convention in 2000. When Dick Cheney stepped up to the lectern to accept the party's nomination for Vice President, the band played Lennon's "Come Together." In the beginning of the song it say's "Here Come Ole Flattop" referring to the candidates near baldness. Weiner also mentions that, the Democrats at their convention used the song Imagine as a theme in their tribute to Jimmy Carter. The lyrics to the song Imagine clearly captured the essence of ex President Carters time in the oval office:
"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one"(Imagine)
Understanding Lennon's music without going back to his beginnings would be impossible. John Lennon grew up in the seaport town of Liverpool, England. John was born to his mother Julia, who seemed to have no sense of her responsibility to her newly born infant. So they sent him off to live with his aunt Mimi. As a small boy, his father, a ship's steward, with a love for the sea, deserted him(Goldman 21). His first musical influence was Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel."Goldman stated that: "Heartbreak Hotel" spoke with stunning directness to the boy who saw loneliness. Now he heard loneliness in music as well"(Goldman 62). At a time when a 16-year-old Lennon had started getting to know his mother, a tragic event again changed his life. His mother while crossing the street, was run over and killed by an off duty police officer(Goldman 84). One of the ways the boy dealt with his loss was playing the guitar, that his mom had taught him to play. He later wrote a song about her called Julia and another called "My Mommies Dead." Many of his songs reflected the pain he felt inside. Ironically the first song Lennon wrote, "Hello Little Girl" was inspired by a 30's or 40's song, he had heard his mother sing(Goldman 64).
"From "In My Life" to "All You Need is Love" to "Imagine" John Lennon's songs documented his life's haunting uncertainty and struggles, its irony and absurdity, and its brave possibilities ( Rotondi:Obrecht)." Lennon's gravel throated voice was in tune to our feelings and he had a driving hand with his electric Rickenbacker guitar. Lennon had the talent to transform the pain he felt into beautiful sweet songs. Rotondi stated in his article in Guitar Player Magazine: "Every John Lennon song made a plea, or critically observed, or entertained with the sheer force of images or creative language( Rotondi: Obrecht")"
John's music Ideas came from, here, there, and everywhere. His song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" clearly illustrates this. In Lennon's Playboy interview by David Sheff , Lennon tells the story of how one day his son Julian came home with a picture he had painted. When asked about the painting, Julian said it was his friend Lucy in the sky with diamonds(Sheff). One of his most autobiographical songs, "In My Life" was according to Lennon the first song he wrote about his life intentionally. John said he wrote the song on a bus trip he took one day that brought back many childhood recollections ( Sheff)
John once wrote a song called "Getting Better" He once admitted to a journalist that he sometimes had problems expressing himself and was totally ashamed of the way he had treated women. The lyric "I used to be cruel to my woman. I beat her and kept her apart from the things she loved," Was typical of the way he treated his first wife, Cynthia. The song continues on to say, "Man I was mean, But I'm changing the scene. I'm doing the best that I can(Garbarini 63)." Lennon was saying he was sorry for his treatment of Cynthia and was trying to make a change in his behavior pattern.
He called another song he wrote from everyday living, "A Day in The Life." One morning John was sitting at his table reading the morning newspaper and read an article about the heir to the Guinness fortune being killed in an automobile accident. On the next page was another story about how there were 4000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire, that were in the need of repair.
"I read the news today
Oh boy
about a lucky man
who made the grade"( A Day In The Life)
As we take a further look into Lennon's writing, we find a song called " Strawberry Fields Forever." In this song, he sings of a peaceful place from his childhood called Strawberry Fields, where he and his schoolmates would attend garden parties and sell lemonade bottles for a penny each(Sheff). The song paints a strong image of how wonderful going back to those days forever would be. The song then goes on to say "living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see." John said that he was saying you can close your eyes to things going on around you, shielding you from the pain and suffering (Sheff). Another line says "No one I think is in my tree," John is saying that no one can live up to his coolness or farness. The last of Lennon's Beatles songs I will mention is "Help" John said in the Playboy interview that he wrote the song as a cry for help at a time when he was facing so many changes in his life, as a result of all his many doubts and fears. His exact words were " I was actually crying out for help"(qtd. In Sheff).
John told us of his life and views on many topics through various songs years after the Beatle's breakup. One of the first songs he recorded after the Beatles split, He did with his wife Yoko Ono called "The Ballad of John and Yoko." This song was a chronological account of the struggles the pair encountered planning the wedding and honeymoon. However, this particular song contained a line, "Christ you know it ain't easy," which caused the song to be banned in the Bible belt of the Southern part of the United States(Brown, Gaines 323) The lyric also caused many stations to drop it from their play lists(Garbarini, Cullman, Gruestack.
Lennon was never one to shy away from controversial content in his songs lyrics At a bed in event held in Montreal, in which the couple stayed in bed and were interviewed by reporters, a reporter asked Lennon what they were doing holding press conferences from their beds. The first response from John was "All we are saying is give peace a chance( qtd. In Shotten, Shaffner 365)." This was a statement that clearly reflected Lennon's strong feeling about the Vietnam conflict
One particular song reflecting the true pain in his life was called "Mother" The song begins with the tolling of funeral bells, his voice crying out, like someone who is deranged, First yelling out at his mother and then at his father(Goldman 19) In this part of the lyric he says "Momma don't go Daddy come home." In a line from a letter written to a former band mate Stu Sutcliffe, John said: "I can't remember anything without sadness so deep that it hardly becomes known to me"(qtd in Garbarini 80). The attack on his parents goes on in many other Lennon compositions. In the song "I Found Out," he sings "they didn't want me so they made me a star." John Lennon suffered a lot of pain in his life and managed to reflect it in his music.
John wrote songs that expressed things he and Yoko were experiencing in their own lives. I couldn't do a paper on Lennon without mentioning his song "Cold Turkey," a story about the misery one suffers while being addicted to heroin and the painful withdrawal one suffers when trying to kick the habit(Goldman 431). John Lennon himself went through that withdrawal and agony.
The last song Lennon and Yoko released before his untimely murder by a fan, Mark David Chapman, in December 1980 was called "Starting Over." The song talks about a new beginning for John and Yoko. John was opening a new chapter in the saga of John Winston Lennon. He was starting to recover from things that once plagued him and from the demons of his past. What a shame he never had the chance to live his new life to the fullest.
In conclusion, John Winston Lennon wrote songs which very much reflected his own life and the things he strongly believed. 20 years after his death they are still playing his music and talking about his life. His lyrics will long be remembered by us, his legion of fans, as well as by future generations to come.

"My name is Meghan Thorne and I am the 2016 recipient of the 'Paul J. Layman, R.N. Memorial Award for Friendship, Support and Encouragement to Fellow Classmates Demonstrated by Outstanding Participation in Extracurricular Activities on Behalf of the Graduating Class'.
I am honoured to have received this award in memory of Paul. When viewing this memorial page, it is clear that he displayed friendship, support and encouragement to many people. Reading tributes that family, friends and loved ones have made, make it very evident that he was a special person, whose memory will always be remembered. Providing friendship, support and encouragement to my classmates during my nursing program meant so much to me. I am very proud to have been recognized displaying the same support that Paul is remembered for providing to others.
Thank you again,
Meghan Thorne"

"Ms.Layman, Family & Friends of Paul,
My name is Meaghan Slaney and I was the recipient of the Paul J. Layman Memorial Award from the Graduating BN Class of 2015. As I read back on past messages and view pictures of Paul, I cannot express how honoured I am to have been reconigized by others to share such caring qualities in which Paul brought to the nursing profession. I will continue to carry this friendship, support and encouragement throughout my years as a registered nurse on Paul's behalf.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy lives to join us in the celebration of our graduation. To Paul's family, thank you for your kind contribution and participation.
Nurses have the opportunity to make such a positive impact on another's life. The dedicated nurses who have this special quality ensure that their relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and patients leave valued and lifelong memories. From reading about Paul, It is certainly clear that he had such qualities, and therefore, will never be forgotten.
Thank you again for your beautiful recognition,
Meaghan Slaney"
"Well Bro....Sean, Brian and myself had a beer for you last night, I know you were with us to share. Today, I am excited to get ready to go on a well needed vacation, yet today, I am a very sad lady.....17 years ago, our world came crashing in, the day you left your family on earth to be an angel in heaven. We miss you, we love you, and we will never forget you. So much has happen, I wish you were here to share, I know in someway you are, but it's just not the same. I get the quarters you leave, and I smile, it makes me happy, so keep leaving them. I know you are happy for me. Watch over the family, keep us all safe. One day when we are all together again, maybe we will know why God took you home so early......sadly missed but forever loved.....your sister Cathy XOXO"
"A beautiful site for all your memories...hugs to all the family!"
"Hugs!!!Bessie and Family!!! This site is Beautiful...Lovely Music and Pictures Of Your Loving Son.... Cherished Memories"
"Hey Paul
You know I'm not the type to write emotional stuff but this year I wanted to write something. My oldest boy Tyler has just got his car license a few days ago. You passed away in that terrible car accident almost exactly 2 months before he was born. It hits me hard when I think of how I lost my best friend and now my oldest is taking that next step in adulthood. Driving his car on the roads. Then I got my youngest Tyson driving his quad all over the place. Paul man my nerves are shot. Can you do me a favor ol buddy,....keep watching over them....
I can only imagine what your mom & dad, sister & brother went through when you left us. I know it was a nightmare for me & Sherry. We both loved you. We still do.
Even though my boys never met you, they know all about you. We tell them how crazy you were and all our adventures in nursing school. We had some great times eh? You were both mine and Sherrys best friend. What a blessing it was that myself, my wife and my best friend were so close.
Every Christmas our boys decorate their own tree and they ALWAYS put your ornament with your name held by an angel in the middle. Your picture is always on our mantle. You are part of our family and always will be.
So on this 17th anniversary of your passing I remember you my friend and all of our great times together. I think of your beautiful family who miss you so much. I think of all your friends from nursing school and friends from your hometown who miss your personality and making us laugh. I also remember the night you visited Tyler when he was a baby after you had passed and the night we chatted in my dream. I'll never forget the morning Tyler waddled out of his room, barely old enough to walk or talk, and said the man was playing ball with him in his room last night. He kept saying it over & over. He said the mans name was Paul. (At this point he never knew about you because he was so young) Myself & Sherry almost knew instantly what had happened. When we showed him your picture his eyes lit up and danced. "Thats him mommy & daddy! Thats the man who came into my room last night & played ball with me!!....Paul!! We will never forget it. Thanks for that.
The night we chatted in my dream was about a year after you passed. We sat on a bench in a beautiful park by a river. It was so real i will never forget it. We had a good yarn. At the end I asked you a question. You gave me part of an answer. I woke before I could get the rest out of you. Or maybe you woke me up on purpose. When I awoke I knew it was more than a dream. You were there. Feel free to visit again buddy. I would like to finish that conversation. Don't worry, it'll be just between you and me.
So ol buddy till we meet again do me a favor. As you watch over your family,....please have a look out for mine too. I named my oldest boy "Tyler Craig Paul" so our names will always be together through him and in your memory. (He's the one you visited that night.) Tyson has a personality just like you,..........a hard case & funny lol.....Look over em ol buddy. I know you will.
17 years....where has the time gone. May God bless you and your family. Betty & Peter are very special to myself & Sherry as you know. (Your father still says he's gonna get Sherry back for dumping the water over his head that time from the top floor of our apartment building. Funny thing is she was trying to get you back for all the times you did it to her!! LOL.) You were a hard case....but what a laugh we used to have. I miss it.
Until we meet again my friend you always were, and always will be,.....my best friend.
RIP Paul J Layman
Your friend,
"Beautiful memories you all treasure as another year passes. Thinking of you all & sending hugs..."
"MY Sweet Angel SON Paul
Tomorrow will mark the 17 th year since you left this earthly life for a more Beautiful and Peaceful place.
To us it seems like yesterday.
Your Dad's and my heart breaks everyday.
We miss your presence, your smile, your laughter, your humour, your kindness, your compassion for all and especially your love.
Like the song by Kenny Chesney "wonder who you be today" You died to young, but i know we will see you again someday.
Life has changed for us the happiness we knew is at a minimum now, but we do try to be happy.
We love and Miss you so so much."
"As tomorrow draws near we remember the feelings of disbelief, shock, and heartache the day you passed. Even though we know you are in a beautiful, peaceful place and that you visit us often especially at family gatherings, we still yearn for your physical presence. Your smile that could light up the world that you got from your Mom; your mischievous nature inherited from your Dad; and your compassion given by God himself, we miss so terribly. Your Parents; Cathy, & Sean have done a tremendous job keeping your memory alive."
"As your anniversary approaches I hope you are at peace. I remember your smile & how nice you were as a young man. I also know that your mom is still sad. I see the sadness in her face. Please God you will be together one day."
"Today my ANGEL is your 42nd Birthday. Oh how I wish your were here with us to Celebrate. Love and Miss you forever and ever.
Happy Birthday Paul"
"My name is Amy Lundrigan and I was the recipient of the Paul J. Layman, R.N. Memorial Award for Friendship, Support and Encouragement to Fellow Classmates on Behalf of my BN Graduating Class this May of 2014. I was very honored to receive this award and am humbled to know that I am considered a representative of our class in memory or Paul. By viewing this page, Paul was a loved person who is missed by many. I thank you in supporting the newly graduated nurses for as many know, academic excellence is not the only requirement of a nurse, but also the compassion, care, and companionship that also goes along with this career is maybe what is needed more. And this award helps people remember that this too, "friendship, support, and encouragement", is a part of nursing that should also be recognized.
Thank you again, Amy"
"Dear Betty, Paul & Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers always. 16 years, yet it seems like only yesterday. This tribute is a wonderful way to keep your Son, Brother, Uncle & Friend alive. We may not see him, but he is in a better place and is watching from above."
"Auntie Betty ,Uncle P eter ,Cathy, Sean,what a beautiful tribute ,i wish i had known paul ,but sadly not such a shame ,today and always your in my prayers ,"
"16 yrs and still a day so painful to so many. Paul you had such an impact on everyone who knew you. Your Mom,Dad, Cathy, and Sean have struggled so hard to keep your memory alive. I am sure you are smiling at how well they have succeeded in doing just that. We mostly remember you with a smile but today is always with an aching heart sweet Angel"
Remember going to school on the bus, sitting in the back seat and waiting for the big bumps so that we could see how far off the seat we could get? You always had a smile and always liked to have fun. Your family and I share this day (the 20th) only its been 16 years for them and one month for me and my family. I hope you get to meet Dennis. He would enjoy your company for sure.
Betty and Peter,
Take comfort in knowing that God is taking care of Paul now and no matter how much we don't understand, we know that it was Gods will to have him. Thinking of you both.
"To Peter,Bessie and family you're in my thoughts today as you have been for the past 16 years....a wonderful tribute to Paul and may your memories of him help you get through this day and everyday!"
"Well buddy it's been 16 yrs since you left us but for some reason we still expect that door to open and you walk in and the first words would be "what's ya at ..." Oh how I wish you could come have a chat with us some night...someday Paul ... Until we meet again my friend until we meet again ....missing you ...rip :("
"My Darling Angel boy, as the 20th grows closer it is a raw reminder of 16 years ago. The weather is not the same, how could i forget that foggy misty rainy day. The pain and anguish still remains. Some day we will reunite again. I feel you close every moment of every day, as Dad & I talks to you we waits for to hear your voice answer us, but only silence.
We ask each day WHY, but only GOD knows the answer. There will always be an empty chair at the dinner table. There will always be a waiting phone call. To hear your voice and laughter to see those blues eyes would all i would ask for in this world. Love you always and forever. May the angels surround you and may you be with the ones who have passed on who loved you. Until we meet again stay close to us in spirit. God Bless."
"The pain never goes away but the little things we remember what they did or what they would say is what keeps us going"
"Well Bro....where do I even start.....16 years without hearing your voice, without that collect call.....without that infectious laugh.....without that wonderful smile that made you .....God let us have you for 25 awesome years, sometimes I get angry as I don't believe it was long enough, but on the other hand we had you for those awesome 25 years that can never be taken. Sometimes I wonder where you would be if you were still with us....but I know you are always with me....I still find the quarters you leave in the weirdest places and smile to myself, because I know it's your way of reaching out to me....and I thank you for that. I know you are doing good for all because that's the person you were here on earth, and I'm sure that didn't change where you are now. I'm glad God gave me 2 wonderful brothers, I wouldn't change anything, as it all happens for a reason. Look after us bro....we are all counting on you....keep us safe, keep us smiling as we think about you often, hug us tightly when the tears flow in secret, because it's then when we need you most.....as a family we celebrate your life, the Paul who none of us can forget, who none of us want to forget.....as a family, we have shared our sorrows, and our fears, and most importantly our joy of having you in our lives and the love we always will have for you. So as we continue our journey of life....we cling to the hope of seeing you again, where there well be no goodbyes.....just unbelievable joy and happiness.....until then we do thank God for the gift of Paul J Layman....a loving son, brother, the poet, the nurse....a truly great person....RIP......always missed and forever loved by your sis.....Cath"

Every week I try to re-blog someone else's post on hot springs. This week, I found four absolutely stunning sites by blogger J.H. Dubbeldam, who runs
Hot Soaks of the Himalayas and
the European Natural Soaking Society.
His primary focus is natural hot springs – though he does include some developed springs and spas. His blog posts are very thorough and in depth studies of what is going on in the world of natural soaking. The layout and photographs are beautiful! This is the place you want to be if you are looking for hot springs in Asia or for natural hot springs in Europe! Check out his blogs right now and bookmark them for later!
