It was almost two years ago that this wife and mother of three sat down at the piano and asked the Lord to teach her to play. As she put her hands to the keys, the Lord began to bring together the things she knew in her heart and mind about music and made sense of it on the piano. By the end of the night she was playing one worship song after another and within that month she had written her first song. From that point on, the songs have continued to pour out. The Lord used this as a very personal time of healing and encouragement in her life, and although she felt very content to keep her songs as a personal journal, the Lord was preparing her to be willing to share these songs in whatever capacity He would ask. So, when she felt the Lord clearly asking her to make a recording she immediately began to work towards it and the Lord has opened doors in amazing ways. Monica has been truly gifted to write, play and sing, and this offering of her gifts is to her Father and for whatever He desires to accomplish through it! The Lord has made her confident in what He has called her to and it is with great joy that she embraces it. "He has put a message in my heart and set it to music. He's put a song in my heart and given me a voice for singing. I know that now more that ever." Monica's debut album entitled 'There Is A Place' is a compilation of songs she's written in the last two years. "These songs are a reflection of the way the Lord has met me through many different circumstances and given me rest from striving, healing from hurts, joy in the ordinary, hope in my doubting, and brought me to a new place of accepting his unconditional love for me." Her distinct voice is soothing and textured as it points you to take a closer look at the Father's heart. Her style and songs are fresh and unique, creating a much needed niche in the Christian music scene. Although most of the songs would not be considered "worship" in today's trend, they have definitely come from a passionate heart of worship and gratitude to God, and there is a rich, authentic, spirit-led life behind her music and voice. She has an honest desire that these songs would lift eyes and hearts to Him and that He would be adored, and she believes that it is God's hope that as we lift our eyes to Him we will see that we are adored.

A teenage attacker who stabbed a man at least 10 times near Colby Park at the request of an irked female friend was sentenced to seven years in prison Monday.
Nicholas Lewis, 19, of Albany, wanted Albany County Judge Peter Lynch to grant him youthful offender status, which would have sealed his felony assault conviction and prevented him from serving any more than four years behind bars.
"It's not easy out here," Lewis told the judge, referring to being young "on the streets of Albany."
Instead, Lynch described Lewis' June 21 stabbing on 24-year-old Michael Mitchell as a premeditated attack — and said Lewis was not a proper candidate for youthful offender status.
"The stabbing of an individual approximately 10 times in the head, neck, chest and back is a horrific act," Lynch told Lewis, as he stood beside his attorney, Melissa Carpinello.
Lynch told Lewis it was a "significant show of lenience" by Albany County District Attorney David Soares' office that Lewis was allowed to plead guilty to second-degree assault instead of attempted murder, which carries up to 25 years in prison.
"The interests of justice would not be served by relieving you of the onus of a criminal record," Lynch told Lewis.
On June 21, Lewis' female friend, Brandi Hensman, 31, of Albany, had an argument with Mitchell early in the day. Seeking vengeance, she teamed up with Lewis. Prosecutors say the pair were in a vehicle when they spotted Mitchell around Colby Street and Hunter Avenue.
Lewis got out of the car, repeatedly stabbed Mitchell, got back in the car and fled. Witnesses called 911 on behalf of Mitchell, who was taken to Albany County Medical Center and has since recovered from his injuries.
The duo was arrested. Lewis pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to second-degree assault. The next day, Hensman, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, a felony. She was sentenced last month to 2⅓ to 7 years in prison.
"It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an act of self-defense. It was a planned event," Assistant District Attorney Brian Conley, who prosecuted the case, told the judge. "They tracked the victim down, found him and stabbed him over 11 times."
Mitchell's mother showed understanding toward Lewis during the sentencing, saying she does not like to see young people go to prison.
"I really sympathize for you … I'm not angry. I already have forgiven you.," the mother said. "I just hope that you know this is a lesson. because sweetie, you could have been going to college. You could have had a good job. There are promising things out there for you. But this one mistake — I know you didn't mean to do it ."
Still, she opposed him receiving youthful offender status, Conley said.
In a Dec. 5 letter, she asked the judge to sentence both defendants to the maximum term.
"There are no justifications for this," the mother wrote of the attack. "It was solely and only by the grace of God that no main veins or arteries were damaged, which could have resulted in a fatal outcome … While they did not kill him physically, they have killed something inside him mentally and emotionally. Michael will never forget that day."

I just watched this video (Edit: link fixed) of Donald Trump challenging Vince McMahon to a match at Wrestlemania, and I can't even begin to understand it. Like, I know WWE is fake and all, but my suspension of disbelief only goes so far. And Donald Trump doing anything that might mess up his hair is about as realistic as Voltron making a cameo in the Transformers movie. C'mon, Voltron was a bunch of mechanical cats (piloted by people) that assembled to be one big robot. That's totally different from alien robots that change into cars or airplanes.
On a WWE-related note, former Diva Search contestant Erica Chevaller — who attained some level of minor renown after leaving her high school history teaching job after she appeared on the USA National Bikini Team website — will be appearing in Playboy. Just thought you should know (thanks to Zach).
Oh, and what do you know — here are some pics. This woman taught tenth grade. The only thing I would have learned from her would have been how to get a bathroom pass to go masturbate in the middle of class. (UPDATE: Well, looky here. It's a NSFW link to her Playboy pics.)

Chinese Classic Drama
Chinese classic drama was popular in the 17th century.
Random photo: Impressions of China
The Drama during the Yuan (Yan or Mongol) dynasty (1279-1368) may have been the result of the refusal of many scholars to serve the Mongol regime; instead they turned their talents to new fields, such as fiction and drama. Vernacular literature continued to develop through the modern period, until it finally coalesced with a new and more inclusive literary movement in the early years of the 20th century.
Since the 13th century Chinese drama has followed a pattern of local development, with the most popular of local dramas acquiring national importance. The Yuan drama, a creation of northern China, relies on northern dialect in dialogue and song. The lute is the chief instrument used, and the songs, which constitute the poetic portion of the play and are generally considered more important than the dialogues, are written in the qu (ch'), a new poetic form more flexible and expressive than the previously mentioned shi of the Han period and the ci of the Tang period. A Yuan play has four parts, corresponding to the four acts of a Western play; often an additional short act that serves as a prelude and sometimes as an interlude is added.
The basic template for most Chinese plays involves a handsome, bright scholar who falls in love with a beautiful maiden. Trouble usually comes in in the form of parental disapproval, thus creating the conflict between the young lovers' Confucian obedience to their parents and their own irrepressible love for each other. Peony Pavilion adheres to this pattern but throws in a very unusual twist. The young maiden in the story, Bridal Du, falls in love with a scholar whom she's only met once in a dream and dies longing for him. But this is just the beginning. The scholar, Liu Mengmei, happens to be a real person and through sheer accident ends up staying in her town. Eventually, Liu meets Bridal's ghost, disinters her body, and she comes back to live. Other complications then arise. The play also includes a good dose of humor.

After spending New Year's Eve together, dancing and laughing with a group of friends, the rumor mill started churning out the story that Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are dating. But are they a hot couple or a not couple?
The rumors are…false. For now, at least.
Turns out Ryan and Sandra, who starred in the 2009 rom-com The Proposal together, have been good friends for a decade and have spent many a New Year's Eve partying platonically.
A source close to Ryan says any whispers of a romantic relationship between the two actors "is ridiculous."
"They have been friends for 10 years and they celebrated New Year's with others. That's it. They really are just friends," the insider told People.
A rep for Bullock confirmed the two celebrated together, and not for the first time. "They all had a great time ringing in the New Year as they have in the past."
Where did this party go down, anyway? At Bullock's Austin restaurant, Bess Bistro, where observers confirmed a lack of sparks between the two.
But with both newly single, who knows what this long-standing friendship could blossom into!

Girl Dared Into Giving Boy a Blowjob in School Cafeteria During Lunch
A high school in Georgia says it has turned two freshmen students over to the authorities after they were found to have recorded themselves engaging in a sex act inside the school's cafeteria.
In an email to reporters, spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby said a female student had allegedly "made a sexual offer to a male classmate during lunch" — an offer the male student initially believed to be a joke.
Students say the girl had been "dared" into performing the act.
Per Jacoby's statement, the male student later claimed that "when the female student began to act upon it...he stopped her."
The boy's version of events is somewhat disputed by reports from other students that a video of the blowjob began circulating shortly thereafter.
"The guy who recorded it, he sent it to people…a lot (of people)," one student told WSB-TV.
"I don't think it's a responsible thing to do," said another student, "but knowing our generation, you know, we don't really think before we act and we just send it off."
A third student told the station that the students "stacked up a bunch of books and book bags" around them, which was apparently enough to hide their behavior.
Asked where the adult were at the time, Jacoby told 11Alive that only six to eight employees staff the cafeteria during lunch, and they are mostly there to ensure students don't leave.
The two students at the center of the incident have since been charged with misdemeanor public indecency, and "appropriate school disciplinary action" is expected to follow.

Notre Dame Football: Keys to Irish Taking Down Michigan StateSeptember 13, 2012
No. 20 Notre Dame will roll into East Lansing to take on No. 10 Michigan State as underdogs. They are facing an uphill battle if they want to pull out this victory, but that task is far from impossible.
After all, just last season, Notre Dame easily dispatched of the Spartans 31-13. However, this is a new season, and Notre Dame will be playing this game in a hostile environment against a defense that has yet to allow a touchdown.
Here are three things the Irish must do if they want to escape with a victory.
Stop Le'Veon Bell
Notre Dame is going to have no shot in this game if they don't slow down Michigan State's monster in the backfield Le'Veon Bell.
In two games, Bell has amassed 280 rushing yards, churning them out at an average of 4.5 yards per carry. He has also added seven catches for 55 yards and has picked up four touchdowns.
With the departure of QB Kirk Cousins, Bell is the rock that holds this offense together, and if he is popping off four yards a carry in this one, the Irish are in for a long day.
Notre Dame has a solid shot at limiting Bell. They have allowed just 3.41 yards per carry this season, and that number is lower in their lone close game where they had a real need to stop the run game, as Purdue ran for just 3.0 yards per carry against them.
Avoid the Costly Turnover
This one goes without saying in any matchup, but it warrants mention with Notre Dame, given their terrible struggles with turnovers last season.
Notre Dame spent long stretches of last season being unable to get out of their own way.
While their three turnovers against Michigan State did not hurt them last year, they would be well-served to not put themselves in a position where they had to do that again.
Cierre Wood Bursts onto 2012 Scene
Notre Dame's offense has their work cut out for them, but they are likely to get a boost as senior running back Cierre Wood appears to be set to make his debut in this season.
He spent the first two games inactive due to being suspended for violating team rules. CBS Sports' Matt Rybaltowski has reported that Wood is "expected" to play.
The Irish are going to need him to not just play but to play his heart out.

After the Housing Slump Subsides, State Budget Shortfalls Could Be Here to Stay
- Apr 25, 2008
Forget concern about the U.S. sliding into a recession. According to a survey of all 50 state fiscal directors, many states are already in a recession–and as the July 1 fiscal year approaches, the situation may get worse, the New York Times says.
The National Conference of State Legislatures report, released Friday, said that "whether
or not the national economy is in recession– a subject of ongoing
debate — is almost beside the point for some states."
The funding shortfalls are so severe in some areas of the country, it looks like–even once the housing slump does noticeably improve–states may be dealing with the housing market fallout for years to come.
Housing has already taken a toll on the economy (which has, in turn, taken a toll on housing): Because home equity is dropping, many homeowners don't want to invest in their home, so furniture and appliance sales are declining.
At the same time, people are spending less in general because higher gas and food costs are eating up their cash.
And the slowed economy is hurting tax revenue–some states are really suffering, such as:
- Delaware: The state's funding has a $69 million gap this year.
- California: The report predicted California would have a $16 billion budget shortfall over
the next two years.
Florida, too, doesn't expect its revenue situation to improve quickly because of how long its housing slump has been going on, the Times says.
And Florida is not alone. Sixteen states reported budget shortages because taxes had come in less than earlier estimates by mid-April; that's twice the number of states that posted a deficit six months prior.
And the upcoming fiscal year may not be much better. Twenty-three states are currently reporting a total of $26 billion in budget shortages, according to the NCSL–more than two-thirds say they're worried about budgets for next year.
With good reason: The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
said last week that 27 states are reporting projected budget shortfalls equaling at least $39 billion next year.
We've been so focused on improving the housing market, it's possible we've lost sight of its far-reaching effects–but make no mistake, dealing with sharply reduced state budgets on the heels of a prolonged housing slump is not going to make life easy.
In fact, as the economy slows and we try to climb out of a housing decline–and potential national recession–we're going to need those state programs and aid more than ever.
No one wants to see education or other necessary programs suffer. But there are even more pressing problems, such as shelter. The rising number of foreclosures in the U.S. alone are going to
increase the need for housing–some of it will need to be affordable or
So what can we do now to help buffer the housing decline's effect on state funding? Is it time to reconfigure and trim budgets know, anticipating a further decline in tax revenue? Or should the Fed be addressing the problem and increasing state financial allocations?
What do you think?

Arsenal are eyeing Newcastle United winger Hatem Ben Arfa for the January market. Caughtoffside reports the Gunners are growing ever more concerned that Theo Walcott will refuse to sign a new deal at the Emirates, increasing the likelihood he will be sold in the upcoming transfer window.
And, as a result, boss Arsene Wenger is ready to step up his pursuit of fellow Frenchman Ben Arfa, according to reports.
Wenger will hope the 25-year-old can provide a more clinical edge to Arsenal's attack, after the summer sale of Robin van Persie has left his side struggling for goals at some points this season.

One thing I've thought may help this is to manage TWO tty structs (each line does two ttymalloc() calls) which allows the dial-out and dial-in (getty) processes to each block on their own tty.

I sing the praises of "Invincible Iron Man" on these virtual pages for good reason — the Eisner Award-winning title fuses all that's great about the comic character with all that's accessible and hip about the 2008 blockbuster film. With "Invincible," writer Matt Fraction crafts a smart, engaging tale of action and espionage fueled by artist Salvador Larroca's inviting, photo-realistic art. It's truly a great comic to behold.
Which brings us to "Invincible Iron Man" #20, the beginning of the "Stark: Disassembled" arc. Marvel calls it "the darkest chapter of Tony Stark's life — or is that afterlife" and a perfect jumping on point for new readers. I call it a good excuse to run covers and preview pages in the hopes you'll pick up this great book and enjoy one of the best comics on the stands today. Hit the jump and click 'em for bigger views.
You already caught the Larroca cover at the start of this post. Below (left to right) is the wraparound "Invincible Iron Man" #20 cover by Patrick Zircher and the 70th anniversary variant cover by Marko Djurdjevic. Marvel will distribute the Larroca and Zircher covers at 50/50.
And here are preview pages from the issue. No dialogue provided, but as you can see Tony's not doing so hot. The quick recap: Stark has erased the secret identities of Marvel heroes and other valuable intel from his hard drive of a brain to keep it out of the hands of the evil Norman Osborn. (The man best known as the Green Goblin has fooled the public into thinking he's a good guy as the Iron Patriot and head of the sleazy government organization H.A.M.M.E.R.) Stark's self-inflicted mind-wipe and subsequent battle with Osborn has left Stark in the vegetative state you see him in now.
"Invincible Iron Man" #20 hits Nov. 18. Suffice to say, get it.

The Common Mistakes Made by Email Marketers
Published by James Lucas
Everyone makes mistakes and email marketers are no exception… The cost effective nature of email means that even bad email marketing provides a good ROI compared to other channels – but it could be even better. So what are the common mistakes made by email marketers and how can you avoid them?
Getting the frequency wrong
One of the common debates for email marketers is how often to send. Those who send too much often have the frequency dictated by short-term sales targets and pressures – but this leads to long term damage to the database, as customers stop engaging and responding. However, on the other hand, others are too tentative and don't maximise the potential of their database.
Both can be solved by effective planning, taking a view from the eyes of the customer to see what the range of emails appears like over a period of time, and instead, focussing on making sure you have as many relevant touchpoints as possible,
Saying what you want to say, not what your subscriber wants to hear
Most of us are guilty of this. Email has become the channel for broadcasting our latest news, promotions and other content that we as marketers of the business really care about. Instead, we should be taking advantage of the data we hold against them, talking about things which they want to hear.
Email isn't like the other broadcast above the line channels where we should interrupt customers and get some of it to stick. It's a personal channel where conversations should exist, and as a result, what we send should be tailored around the customers interests and behaviour to help drive engagement.

Pugilism, Sweet Science, Gentleman's Sport are all different declarations of the sport and have been applied over the years, however, Boxing remains the staple name. Boxing gathers in an extremely large crowd of gamblers, punters and also enthusiast eager to get their hands on boxing tickets for a multitude of matches that feature some extremely talent members. Alongside the sport there is also the prospect of gambling on the sport and thrill of winning big as a result.
Many different fights take place every year with 100,000's of boxing tickets being sold annually, spanning across various countries with numerous numbers of competitors from nations worldwide representing themselves and their country in various different duels of character, skill and determination. Through this, each individual boxer is classified via a weight class, a few being lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. To some this may seem trivial but it does provide a very significant purpose. Different boxers placed into different weight classes off a different type of fight. Lighter boxers are more agile on their feet but provide a slightly less deadly punch and due to their genuinely small stature they cannot provide as much force as heavyweights do. Heavyweights have a much larger frame and strength coupled with this body size. However, what they make up in power they lack in agility and are generally less agile and slower due to their weight and size. Middleweights seem to fall in between and offer their own style to the sport but still cannot compete amongst the two. These place each participant in their own class and prevent anyone outside their respective weight class from competing in it.
Cheap tickets for all boxing events & matches
Due to the popularity of boxing as a sport world wide, tickets for boxing can be both plentiful and scarce at the same time. The sheer number of fans, particularly in the United States makes getting certain tickets extremely difficult despite how popular the fight may be. Furthermore this is fuelled by the lust for the luxurious ring side seats. In the sport of boxing, ringside seats are considered a god send, allowing the fans to immerse themselves in the action and literally smell, breathe and feel every moment. The intensity of the action up close is exhilarating and enthralling, opening up a brand new and enticing perspective for anyone lucky enough to gain the seats. Certain fighter gain much more credibility than others, with popular contenders gaining a huge following and extremely sought after tickets. Fighters such as Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins, Wladimir Klitscho and Miguel Cotto are among the top boxers of each of their respective weight classes and attract sell-out crowds almost each and every time they attend a fight. Each boxer brings about his own personality to the game and technique, making each a uniquely interesting and thrilling fighter to watch in the ring. Without the individual talent of each participant in boxing, matches would just not have the flair and allure that they do. Every time a new fight is set to take place, so is a new story as a result of it. Be it a first round knock out of a bitter fight to the end, there is never a dull moment.
Upcoming fights are plentiful, with events such as the Alaska Fighting Championship, Showtime Boxing and also Titan Fighting 21. With the sheer number of competitors there is never a dry spell for the sport and always an outlet for both boxers and fans alike. Be it the purchase of boxing tickets or a simple case of watching it on the television, everyone can enjoy in the marvel that is the sport of boxing!

b. Oct 27, 1837, Mobile, Ala.
d. March 9, 1925, Flagstaff, Az.
COD: Influenza
h/o Sarah Ellen (Alexander) Manning
s/o Payton T. & Virginia Manning
Occ: Physician
Doc was born October 27, 1837 in Mobile Alabama and studied medicine at the University of Alabama and in Paris, France.
At the outset of the Civil War he returned and, with his brothers, joined the Confederate Army as a lieutenant under General Joe Wheeler. He and his three brothers vowed they would not shave until the south was victorious. They kept their vow and died with their beards.
After the war the brothers joined other Confederates in exile in Mexico. He eventually settled in Bolton, Texas where he married Sarah. He moved to Giddings, Texas and started a medical practice.
He was a scrappy little fellow and became involved in a knife fight with a fellow doctor and both were severally injured but survived.
His most famous battle occurred after he moved to El Paso and opened a saloon with his brothers. A feud developed between the brothers and city marshal Dallas Stoudemire who suspected the family of plotting to kill him.
On September 18, 1882, Doc and Stoudemire, now a deputy U.S. Marshal, engaged each other. Stoudemire was shot twice in the chest but managed to shoot Doc in the right arm. Doc lost his gun and as small as he was, engaged Stoudemire in a wrestling match.
Brother Jim Manning entered the saloon, saw the fight and Stoudemire with a gun, and shot Stoudemire behind the left ear. The Mannings were acquitted of murder charges.
Doc moved to Flagstaff and became a respected physician, but his right arm was virtually useless.
He died in Flagstaff on March 9, 1925.

The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a grant agreement between the City of Crawfordsville and the State of Indiana for the Community Paramedic Pilot Program.
Crawfordsville EMS Division Chief Paul Miller said the $157,970 grant will allow the Crawfordsville Fire Department the chance to get the state's Community Paramedic Pilot Program off the ground. In Oct. 2015 the Montgomery County Community Foundation also gave the CFD grant money to purchase a vehicle for the program.
"It gives us the ability to expand on our program and our ability to train and deliver services to the community," Miller said. "The state has identified our department as the one best fit to deliver a pilot program for the state."
The community paramedic program will help the CFD's EMS team monitor recent heart patients to help prevent relapse and return to the hospital.
Montgomery County 4-H Horse and Pony Superintendent Shannon Kessler requested an exemption to a city ordinance regarding the use of toy guns for a Cowboy Mounted Shooting show during the 4-H Fair.
"It will be 30-35 riders that will come in and we think it will be a draw to the fair," Kessler said.
Kessler described the guns that will be used to the board. He said the guns will use specially designed .45 blanks that emit smoke but no BBs or bullets. The blanks will be used to pop balloons. The board approved the exception to the ordinance for the Sunday of fair week and pending notification of neighbors surrounding the fairgrounds.

I really like the electronic strobe controls but I am wondering if it is possible to hook up the sb80dx in a subal and a ys90dx and switch from dttl to manual. Any thoughts on that? I read Alex Mustards article but not sure how it would work on the titan.
Posted 11 June 2003 - 10:49 AM
To fire the SB80DX in dttl you need 5 wires connecting the camera and strobe. To fire any strobe on manual (including the SB80DX and YS90dx) you need 2 (or 3) wires connected. If you connect any strobe (using 5 connectors) other than the Nikon SB**DX series to the D100 the camera will not even open its shutter!
There would be no problem firing a SB80DX and YS90dx on manual with both wired to the camera with 2 connectors. You could also just attach one strobe (2 connectors) and fire the other as a slave. You cannot connect one in dttl and fire the other as a slave because the slave will react to the preflash and miss the exposure.
It might be possible to wire the SB80DX on 5 connectors and the YS90dx on 2 so both fire when you press the shutter? But DTTL would not be accurate because the YS90dx will not fire on the preflash and so will overexpose the actual image. I have no experience of doing this - and I guess it is equally possible that the camera may refuse to fire, or the YS90dx will be triggered with the preflashes and, like the slave situation, not light the actual exposure?
I suggest using a single SB80DX for DTTL (5 wires) and then by connecting just 2 wires you could use the SB80DX and YS90dx as manual guns. But without some very complex flash synch cords (with switches on individual wires!) you would not be able to swap between these situations underwater.
Hope this is clear and doesn't confuse further!

The SB80DX will work as Nikon TTL strobe as well as a DTTL strobe. So I guess that it will work with the ROC system in the same way as other Nikon TTL strobes (e.g. SB105) will - but it would have to set it to the stanard TTL mode rather that DTTL. But that is just a guess! The SB80DX may be too sophisticated to be fooled by the TTL faking of the ROC system?
I have to say that I don't know anything about the ROC system - having never seen a Titan. But I (big) guess that it works by each setting in ROC representing a preset level of quenching of the strobe output by faking a quench signal to the existing TTL circuitry in the flash. And that this is done completely independantly of the camera and its through-the-lens sensors. If this is the case it is a way of reproducing a multi-power setting strobe - but will not actually offer any strobe metering. But I am really just guessing!
Do you (or anyone else at wetpixel) know how ROC works?
More questions than answers here! When you find out from someone who knows please post the facts!

Tributes paid to Peter Britton, an outstanding engineer and dedicated climber
Tipperary's two government ministers, county council chiefs and mountaineering community representatives have joined in paying tribute to the late Tipperary Co. Council engineer Peter Britton following his tragic death on Mont Blanc this week.
And they have all extended their deep sympathy to his mourning family, work colleagues and friends and the family of his mountaineering partner Colm Ennis, who also died in the accident.
In a joint statement, Tipperary Co. Council Chief Executive Joe McGrath and Council Chairman Cllr Michael Fitzgerald said the local authority's members, management and staff were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Peter's sudden and tragic death and their thoughts and prayers were with his family and Mr Ennis' family.
"Peter was a valued colleague who approached every aspect of his work with professionalism, integrity and commitment," they said.
"His work with both South Tipperary County Council and more recently Tipperary County Council will endure for many years and we owe him a great debt of gratitude for his commitment to Tipperary. We will miss Peter but will forever treasure the memories of our colleague and friend."
Environment & Local Government Minister Alan Kelly paid tribute to Peter Britton's outstanding work in his various roles with Tipperary Co. Council. "He carried out his work in both a professional and friendly manner. He was meticulous in his approach to his work. There is no doubt that Peter will be a huge loss to the authority," he said.
Minister of State in the Department of Agriculture, Food & Marine Tom Hayes described Peter as an extremely competent and capable engineer, who was always looking for solutions to problems.
He recalled the central role Peter played in the Forestry Industry Transport Group, which recently produced a good practice guide for managing timber transport.
Rathgormack Community & Hiking Centre Committee, where Peter and Colm practised their mountaineering skills on its climbing wall, said it was devastated by their deaths.
"Peter and Colm used the facilities in Rathgormack Community & Hiking Centre. Peter ran the climbing wall there for the last 14 years, encouraging all ages to take up the sport he loved so much and organising groups and individuals from far and wide to climb in the centre," the Committee said.
"Peter was a gentleman to deal with and was always happy to help and support Rathgormack Community Centre. They will both be greatly missed by their friends here in Rathgormack."
Mountaineering Ireland Chief Executive Karl Boyle said both Peter and Colm were very experienced alpinists, whose loss will be greatly felt within the climbing and hillwalking community. "They made an enormous contribution to the sport and were instrumental in introducing young people and adults to hillwalking and climbing."
Clonmel's Peaks Mountaineering Club Secretary John Morrissey extended condolences on behalf of the Club to the families of both men. He said Peter and his wife had been members of the Club in the past and were well known to many of their members. He remembered Peter as a man who was "good company, softly spoken and good humoured, helpful and encouraging to all".
"Peter loved the outdoors, he especially loved climbing and was an experienced and very competent rockclimber and alpinist and founder of Rathgormack Climbing Club. He loved the mountains and took part in the KMD dry run recently."
Mr Morrissey added that Colm was also known to some of their members as he took part in earlier KMD crossings and had worked in Bulmers. .

There are over 1400 active Direct Sales companies as of this writing. No two companies are the same. With so many companies to choose from, which companies is right for you?
Choosing the right company is not complicated once you understand the what and why.
- What are your values?
- Why are these important to you?
Then it is just a matter of choosing the company that fits.
There are numerous companies in different categories. For example, you have:
- Health and Wellness
- Energy
- Communications
- Household Items
- Jewelry
- Clothing Assessories
- Etc…
So the first question is, what are your core values? Which one of these categories fits who you are and what matters to you?
The next question is the why. Why is this important to you? Why does this resonate with you? Why does this excite you?
When you have the answers yo these two questions, it is simply a matter of selecting the companies that meet those needs with their product and/or services.
The other issue then becomes the culture of the company. The same questions can be used to determine which company meets your needs in this regard:
- Recognition
- Activities
- Compensation
If you notice, these are the same things that lead many of us to choose the company we might work for.
Check out the company by going to the Corporate Website. Click around and see what they do and stand for. If possible, listen to a few conference calls and/or watch a few videos. See how transparent the company is. If all of your questions cannot be answered on the main site, I would wonder why.
This is to make sure that somewhere down the road, once you have put time, money and other resources into your business that you now see where you could have received more and gone further somewhere else.
Isn't that how it is sometimes?
Do your homework up front. Don't just allow yourself to be talked into joining a company without knowing more about it and how it fits YOU!
Because the RIGHT company CAN make a DIFFERENCE!

Posted by Hyperion322 on 5/9/2009, 12:39 am, in reply to "I would disagree"
Kieran, I was by no means saying that the MS. MARVEL book has to be about feminism, rather Carol (or Karla) pick up the cause either directly or indirectly. And by no means do I want this title to become "preachy" as vanhelsin pointed out of the '70s era. I think because Ms. Marvel is the only female of Marvel Comics to have her own book, she should stand up for "Girl Power". When women and men are equal, then sure, there won't be a need for such concerns. But if Marvel has the chance to educate readers (even when they have no idea that they're being taught), why not do it? Times have indeed evolved from Ms. Marvel's first appearance, but by no means does that mean the sexes are equal and that women don't need a heroine to aspire to, someone who can be an example, and a beacon of hope that a woman can succeed at whatever a man can - no matter what. Does it matter that Carol is a woman? Absolutely! Maybe the heroine doesn't even realize it, but it does matter that other women (particularly the younger generation) see Ms. Marvel as something they can aspire to. Again, being feminist shouldn't have negative connotation. I'm a male of 26 years and I'm proud I grew up in a home with a strong woman (my mother) who herself doesn't buy into the feminist movement, but also doesn't see that she feeds it every day for standing up for herself in a fashion where she's managed to become the independent success that she is, despite the many odds in her career field.

KP's text message saga: nope, it's not over yet
- Ant Sims
- Sport
- 09 Oct 2012 (South Africa)
There's a lot of "he said, she said" going on between the ECB and CSA at the moment, and Kevin Pietersen stands squarely at the centre of it all. A saga that should have been long dead and buried is still dragging on, and probably will for some time. By ANT SIMS.
If cricket won Oscar-like awards for best performances, the Kevin Pietersen text message saga would have scooped the gong for best drama, best actor in a leading role, best visual effects and, most likely, best actor in a supporting role.
In the latest baffling episode, David Collier, the ECB chief executive, suggests the South African squad "provoked" Pietersen into the exchange of messages which resulted in a bizarre series of events – from crazy YouTube videos to KP being exiled.
Last week, the ECB said that they had started a "process of reintegration" to get Pietersen back to playing for England, and while it's likely to take a while before Pietersen proclaims his love for his adopted country again, he should be tormenting bowlers with impunity in the next few months.
However, the text message drama is far from over. Collier suggests it's the ECB's understanding that the messages were instigated by South Africa's players.
"It is a very thin line between fair and unfair. These were responses to messages from certain members of the South Africa team, and I would not condone an England player doing it if it were the other way around… I certainly think they provoked the situation," Collier told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.
Collier said that although he didn't think blame should rest with the South Africans, he did think it was a tactic employed by the players.
"We shouldn't blame the South Africans; we should be above that," he said. "I think there was a tactic which was used. I think that is, sadly, some of the ways of modern sport, but as I say, we have plenty of people who are strong in the dressing room who provide very good leadership, [and] who can deal with those situations."
Of course, nobody in the dressing room did deal with the situation or manage Pietersen's rebellion, and instead he became an outcast in a drama that unravelled so quickly that even those who could not stand the ex-South African started to feel pity for him.
When the story first emerged, the details of the text messages ranged from being tactical information to simply a bit of banter and a few choice words reserved for former England captain Andrew Strauss. Oddly enough, Collier admitted that he had not seen the messages and no evidence of the messages remained, but the ECB chief insisted they were sent in an attempt to disrupt England.
"Those messages were of a nature that Kevin, with definite hindsight, would have refuted straight away and moved on. It is trying to undermine another team and another team ethic," Collier said.
It's an issue that should have been dead and buried long ago, yet it seems that the ECB is still looking for a scapegoat in the whole shebang. Cricket South Africa has, of course, responded by vehemently denying the claims.
"I am very disappointed that this has played out in the media," CSA acting CEO Jacques Faul said.
"It is absolutely not true that our players provoked Pietersen. What is particularly disappointing is that I had a face-to-face meeting with Mr Collier when I was in London for the Lord's Test match. He did not raise this allegation with me then, and I would have thought as a matter of courtesy and decency he would have spoken to me about it before going public in the media," added Faul.
Faul said that he was particularly disappointed in the way the ECB handled the matter.
"It is not the way CSA goes about its business, and it is not the way the ECB has done business with us in the past either. It is very disappointing, because in the past our relationships with the ECB have always been cordial and constructive.
"This is an internal ECB matter in which we do not wish to be involved. It served as a distraction to our players that we did not need during the Test series."
It's hard to believe that the ECB's public outcry is solely based on a couple of exchanges between Pietersen and the South African squad. Their reason, though, remains to be seen – and in the meantime, it's likely this saga will drag on for a while still. DM

How marijuana creates mellow magic in movies
In Easy Rider, an ACLU lawyer played by an impossibly young Jack Nicholson waves off a pal trying to offer him some marijuana, claiming it "leads to harder stuff." And in a way, he's right. Before the film is over, Nicholson's self-described "square" will be murdered by some local thugs . Thankfully, this tragic turn – the pivot point of Dennis Hopper's seminal counterculture odyssey – is one of the only instances in film history where smoking weed has serious consequences. Because as sub-genres go, cannabis cinema is pretty mellow stuff.
This makes it preferable to the majority of drug-centric movies, which generally start in manic high spirits then proceed on a downward spiral ending in ruin, heartbreak and death. But there is no such thing as a moralistic pothead movie, and while smoking up is often a precursor to violence in horror films – putting it in good company with casual sex and weekends at the lake – it's rare to find a toker who gets severely, much less fatally, punished by a filmmaker for his or her habit.
Most of the canonical figures of cannabis cinema, from Cheech and Chong to Harold and Kumar, are good-natured dopes who mean well and whose penalties for overindulging are rather small in the great scheme of things. Instead of ending up facedown in a fountain Scarface-style, they're more likely to just bashfully ask some dude about the whereabouts of their car.
The relatively low dramatic stakes and wispy, drifting tone of cannabis cinema might imply that the films are innocuous, but that's not quite accurate. If it's true that most pothead movies happen to be comedies, the fact is that some of them are more loonily profound than a dozen straight Oscar-baiting dramas.
Even if its sequels obeyed the laws of diminishing returns, Danny Leiner's original Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) remains one of the sharpest and most socially perceptive studio comedies of the new century, an authentic Jersey Shore picaresque whose fully-baked heroes' insatiable munchies are posed as a sort of second-generation American birthright: life, liberty and the pursuit of hamburgers.
One of Harold and Kumar's minor characters asserts that "in the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should," which could be the great, generous epigram of stoner cinema. In both the Coen brothers' sublime The Big Lebowski (1998) and Gregg Araki's charming Smiley Face (2007), Los Angeles-area layabouts wander around in circles until the surrounding narratives just sort of work themselves out.
Both films feature hilariously addled lead performances: Jeff Bridges's bowling-alley-dweller in the former is too glazed to function as the Philip Marlowe-esque detective that the Fates would have him be, but fights manfully through the haze to figure out who exactly peed on his rug. In the latter, Anna Faris so fully inhabits the alternately anxious and sleepy consciousness of the chronic puffer that she's almost a documentary presence – not that this keeps the film from getting progressively weirder.
Not every actor can play stoned convincingly: The only bum notes in Stanley Kubrick's valedictory Eyes Wide Shut (1999) were struck in the scene where Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got overly zonked-out on two tiny little joints (perhaps they were laced with horse tranquilizers). But for the most part, performers fare better miming the comparatively benign effects of marijuana than when OD'ing on the harder stuff, and pot movies are similarly more enjoyable than those that lie on the other side of the proverbial "gateway."
We'll give the final word to another self-described "square," Woody Allen, who in Annie Hall echoes Nicholson's Easy Rider demurral by saying that pot makes him "too unbearably wonderful" but then, a few scenes later, nervously sneezes about $2,000 worth of cocaine across the room. It's a novel way of Just Saying No that also applies to the whole motley lot of cocaine cinema. Far better to keep your nose clean and puff, puff, pass.

MY girlfriend says she wants to break up with me to protect
Customer Question
MY girlfriend says she wants to break up with me to protect me.
About 5 months ago we met online. We have been practically inseparable since, even though we live thousands of miles apart with a 6 hour difference. She would work form home so webcam chatting was a very easy option.
It blossomed into love, she said the L word first. I was shocked and it took me a while to be in the same place where I could reciprocate. I didn't think you could fall in love with a face on a computer screen. We spoke often about the future though I always said we shouldn't, we should focus on 'us' now then the future will come. I didn't want either of us to get hurt. After all we in a shall I way, inconvenient, circumstances.
I have been saving money to visit her and share two weeks together.
She has had a hard life. She jumped into a marriage. She never really dated. 2 kids, one who has seen a lot of illness in his life. She is separated from her psychotic rapist husband. She moved out while we've been together. Money is tight, the youngest isn't taking well to the move, calling her a 'mean mommy', her job is kicking her down so hard, just too much to do. She has a severe neck pain from a car accident. To top it off she is on her period too. Now I wouldn't normally mention that but it all seemed to accumulate into a perfect storm for her.
She's always been afraid of hurting me she said. She'd mentioned it in the past. But I have been able to set her mind at ease. I'd tell her that's the risk you take when you fall in love.
She tends to hide information from me, she slowly revealed she had a kid, then another, then a husband who was moving back in. She always felt guilt for that sort of thing. I could take it surprisingly well, I just liked her so much.
A few days before I was set to buy tickets to come and see her she starts thinking about how it was going to effect the children and how she needed to protect them. Which is completely fair. I've never held the children against her and knew they came first. I slumped when she said it, it had clearly taken the wind out of my sails. She noticed.
Later that night I received a message saying she wanted to break up. Desperate messages and phone calls trying to keep her talking happened. She did eventually talked. We were able to have our usual online date. Spent the whole day together chatting and laughing. I even sent her flowers with a card which she was clearly taken by. Everything seemed fine...
She had to leave the call and go out, take her son to the library, said she'd call back. I left her for about 2 hours. Asked if she would be speaking to me late. A very cold 'I have lots of work to do' came in reply. A few other messages in a similar tone came.
She was pushing me away again. What happened that afternoon? We had a perfect morning, we felt like us again.
More and more desperate messages and calls. I was becoming a nuisance. I threatened to come out there and see her. She told me in a very icy tone that I was being cruel. I exclaimed "I'm being cruel?!". Claiming she was leaving no other option. That scared her. She told me "you once promised you'd never come out uninvited", I replied "you once promised not to break up til we'd met in person".
I left the conversation there. I went for a walk to call down. I realised how bad I had been. She was stressed, broken, tired and hurting. I was not helping. I asked her if I could email her a proposition, a way we could try and save face. She consented. We agreed she would read it in a few days.
My proposition simply stated that we didn't need to break up, we could just calm things down, put 'us' on hold for a while, week, month, wait til new year. Hopefully her circumstances would change and she'd have room in her life for me. I reminded her of why we were good together, she had always been the one that seemed more into the relationship, by which I mean I always took a slightly reserved stance cause of the circumstances. But it was such a sweet romance, I fell in love. I outlined my apology, our relationship, the future if she wanted it, tried to set her mind at ease.
Its been two days since I sent the email. I'm just waiting for her reply. I am terrified. I miss her so much.
I know this is just a waiting game now. But any advice you can provide would be something. This is a new experience for her and me. We're both scared. But she's pushed to breaking.

Hi Ron, and welcome. I'm sorry you didn't receive an earlier answer. Different experts are online at various times and I was just notified of your question. Your patience is greatly appreciated! I'm so sorry that your girlfriend broke up with you suddenly, and I know how distressing this can be. The thing with online romances, is that, especially when you live very far apart, you 'think' or 'feel' like you're getting to know each other well, but that's not really possible unless you spend time together in person. I'm not saying that anything she told you was untrue, but my suspicions were aroused when you said you wanted to come and were buying plane tickets and she freaked out. There may be a reason or several reasons she doesn't want you to come to see her and it has nothing to do with the person YOU are. It may seem like she has something to hide or maybe she's embarrassed about where she's living, etc. I think if you came to see her, things would become too 'real,' and she feels she may not be able to handle that. Speaking on Skype and through email, etc., is so much different than actually meeting in person. As you said, she mentioned you would never make a 'surprise' visit and she also did withhold information from you at the beginning, and it took her a long time to tell you certain important things. I understand why you're both scared, but because she's only a face on a computer screen, you don't really know what her life is like. I think at this particular time, you both need some time apart (from communication) and then, in about a week, if you haven't heard back from her, try contacting her again. If you don't hear back, just ask her 'why?' Why is she acting like this and what can you do to help because all that you're concerned with is seeing her happy and helping as much as you can. By 'help,' I mean emotional support, and not financial support. If she has ever asked you for money or you have volunteered to send her money and she accepted, this starts to seem like she's not who she portrays herself to be. I'm sorry if this is not what you expected or wanted to hear, but I've been in a similar situation and learned from my experiences. You just have to be very wary and since everyone can be anyone on the internet, you always have to keep this in the back of your mind. I'm only saying this to try to protect you and save you from any more heartache, if she's not who she says she is. On the other hand, everything she says could be the absolute truth, but it's just hard for you to know, because you live so far apart. I'm praying for you that everything works out the way you want it to and you (and she) are happy! Warmest regards,Cher

text: Play seriously Even before he was The Dude in "The Big Lebowski," Jeff Bridges was the dude. In 1982, he had a fantastic line in the movie, "Tron," where he was told to be serious and stop fooling around. His deadpan response was, "With me, fooling around is always serious." It's a great lesson for all of us: to take our fun seriously. It's an even more significant lesson when you consider the holiday of Purim. It's a holiday with a lot of fooling around, but it is also deadly serious. Purim, which derives it name from the word for casting lots, is a Jewish holiday in which we recount the story told in the book of Esther. Despite what is often conveyed to children, it's not the nicest of stories. It takes place in ancient Persia under the reign of a king, Ahaseurus, or Artaxerxes the Second, who is depicted as more than a bit of a rager. It begins with a feast that has been going on for several days, when the king calls for the queen, Vashti, to appear before his guests to show off how beautiful she is. When she refuses, she is exiled by the king. After the king sobers up, he realizes that he misses his queen, or at least he misses having a queen, so a call goes out to the kingdom for beautiful young women to present themselves to be the new queen. It's the ancient Persian version of American Idol, but a) the judge may have combined all the best and worst aspects of the entire Idol panel and b) with a lot more implied sex. The woman who is selected is the titular heroine, Esther, a Jewish woman who becomes the Queen of Persia. While she is the queen, the Prime Minister of Persia is a man called Haman. He is identified as an Agagite, a descendant of Agag, the last king of the Amalekites who was executed by the Prophet Samuel. The Amalekites were enemies of the Jewish people since the Exodus from Egypt when the Amalekites attacked the Israelite column from the rear where the very young, very old, weak and infirm were. While there was a commandment in the Torah to wipe out the Amalekites entirely, it wasn't done very well. Haman demands that all bow down before him, but a man named Mordechai, who is the uncle of Esther, refuses to do so. In an example of an extreme overreaction, Haman arranges for a date to be set when all of the Jews in Persia will be killed. Long story short, Haman's plot fails in no small part due to Esther pointing out to the king that if Haman does succeed, she will also be killed. Since the king's initial decree can't be rescinded, a new decree goes out that the Jews of Persia may defend their own lives and property. In the fulfillment of this decree, a lot of people die violently. By the numbers given in the book of Esther, it's many thousands of people who are killed in the fighting. More than any other holiday, this exemplifies the pattern of "they tried to kill us, they failed, let's celebrate!" And we do celebrate, as Purim is one of our most joyous holidays where people wear masks, cheer for the good guys and boo the bad guys. Attending a Purim service is a raucous and joyous celebration for both the young and the old. And some people take it exceedingly seriously—treating Purim celebrations as seriously as they take the fasting, prayer and atonement that mark Yom Kippur, the most solemn and joyous Day of Atonement! Much like Jeff Bridge's character in Tron, for us, fooling around is serious! In a little over a week, we celebrate the holiday of Purim, the ultimate expression of "work hard, play hard" in the Jewish calendar. There are only four commandments associated with Purim (hearing the scroll read, having a celebratory meal, gifts to the poor and gifts to your neighbors), and they're all a combination of serious effort as well as incredible joy. In that sense, it takes "work hard, play hard" to the next level. "Work hard, and play seriously." It's not simply about the frivolity, but about the message that goes into it. "Playing hard" isn't and shouldn't be about going as hard as you can until you hit the wall and can't go any more. (There is a Purim story about that too—it doesn't end so well.) That's not playing hard, that's living hard. Going into Spring Break, we know that we'll play hard against UNC on Saturday night. But when we relax and play over break, let's do it seriously. Let's follow the wisdom of Jeff Bridges and play seriously, knowing that we have a well-earned break that we shouldn't need another week to recover from. Instead, let's take it as a time to rest, recharge and play in ways that restore us so we come back to campus ready to work hard again. Play like you mean it, and love it.
