I. | Every word must have its proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible. | Matt. v. 18. |
II. | All scripture is necessary, and may be understood by a diligent application and study. | 2Tim. iii. 15,16,17. |
III. | Nothing revealed in the scripture can or will be hid from those who ask in faith, not wavering. | Deut. xxix. 29. Matt. x. 26,27. 1Cor. ii. 10. Phil. iii. 15. Isa. xiv. 11. Matt. xxi. 22. John xiv. 13,14. xv. 7. James i. 5,6. 1John v. 13,14,15. |
IV. | To understand doctrine, bring all the scriptures together on the subject you wish to know; then let every word have its proper influence, and if you can form your theory without a contradiction, you cannot be in an error. | Isa. xxviii. 7-29. xxxv. 8. Prov. xix. 27. Luke xxiv. 27,44,45. Rom. xvi. 26. James v. 19. 2Pet. i. 19,20. |
V. | Scripture must be its own expositor, since it is a rule of itself. If I depend on a teacher to expound it to me, and he should guess at its meaning, or desire to have it so on account of his sectarian creed, or to be thought wise, then his guessing, desire, creed,or wisdom is my rule, not the Bible. | Ps. xix. 7,8,9,10,11. cxix. 97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105. Matt. xxiii. 8,9,10. 1Cor. ii. 12,13,14,15,16. Eze. xxxiv. 18,19. Luke xi. 52. Mal. ii. 7,8. |
VI. | God has revealed things to come, by visions, in figures and parables, and in this way the same things are oftentime revealed again and again, by different visions, or in different figures, and parables.

VII. | Visions are always mentioned as such. | 2Cor. xii. 1. |
VIII. | Figures always have a figurative meaning, and are used much in prophecy, to represent future things, times and events; such as mountains, meaning governments; beasts, meaning kingdoms. Waters, meaning people. Lamp, meaning Word of God. Day, meaning year. | Dan. ii. 35,44. vii. 8,17. Rev. xvii. 1,15. Ps. cxix. 105. Ezek. iv. 6. |
IX. | Parables are used as comparisons to illustrate subjects, and must be explained in the same way as figures by the subject and Bible. Mark iv. 13. See explanation of the ten virgins, Miller's Lectures, No. xvi. | |
X. | Figures sometimes have two or more different significations, as day is used in a figurative sense to represent three diferent periods of time. 1. Indefinite. 2. Definite, a day for a year. 3. Day for a thousand years. If you put on the right construction it will harmonize with the Bible and make good sense, otherwise it will not. | Eccles. vii. 14. Ezek. iv. 6. 2Pet. iii. 8. |
XI. | How to know when a word is used figuratively. If it makes good sense as it stands, and does no violence to the simple laws of nature, then it must be understood literally, if not, figuratively. | Rev. xii. 1,2. xvii. 3-7. |
XII. | To learn the true meaning of figures, trace your figurative word through your Bible, and where you find it explained, put it on your figure, and if it makes good sense you need look no further, if not, look again. | |
XIII. | To know whether we have the true historical event for the fulfilment of a prophecy. If you find every word of the prophecy (after the figures are understood) is literally fulfilled, then you may know that your history is the true event. But if one word lacks a fulfilment, then you must look for another event, or wait its future development. For God takes care that history and prophecy doth agree, so that the true believing children of God may never be ashamed. | Ps. xxii. 5. Isa. xiv. 17,18,19. 1Pet. ii. 6. Rev. xvii. 17. Acts iii. 18. |
XIV. | The most important rule of all is, that you must have faith. It must be a faith that requires a sacrifice, and if tried, would give up the dearest object on earth, the world and all its desires, character, living, occupation, friends, home, comforts, and worldly honors. If any of these should hinder our believing any part of God's word, it would show our faith to be vain. Nor can we ever believe so long as one of these motives lies lurking in our hearts. We must believe that God will never forfeit his word. And we can have confidence that he that takes notice of the sparrow, and numbers the hairs of our head, will guard the translation of his own word, and throw a barrier around it, and prevent those who sincerely trust in God, and put implicit confidence in his word, from erring far from the truth, though they may not understand Hebrew or Greek. These are some of the most important rules which I find the word of God warrants me to adopt and follow, in order for system and regularity. And if I am not greatly deceived, in so doing, I have found the Bible, as a whole, one of the most simple, plain, and intelligible books ever written, containing proof in itself of its divine origin, and full of all knowledge that our hearts could wish to know or enjoy. I have found it a treasure which the world cannot purchase. It gives a calm peace in believing, and a firm hope in the future. It sustains the mind in adversity, and teaches us to be humble in prosperity. It prepares us to love and do good to others, and to realize the value of the soul. It makes us bold and valiant for the truth, and nerves the arm to oppose error. It gives us a powerful weapon to break down Infidelity, and makes known the only antidote for sin. It instructs us how death will be conquered, and how the bonds of death will be conquered, and how the bonds of the tomb must be broken. It tells us of future events, and shows the preparation necessary to meet them. It gives us an opportunity to hold conversation with the King of kings, and reveals the best code of laws ever enacted. This is but a faint view of its value; yet how many perishing souls treat it with neglect, or, what is equally as bad, treat it as a hidden mystery which cannot be known. Oh, my dear reader, make it your chief study. Try it well, and you will find it to be all I have said. Yes, like the Queen of Sheba, you will say the half was not told you. The divinity taught in our schools is always founded on some sectarian creed. It may do to take a blank mind and impress it with this kind, but it will always end in bigotry. A free mind will never be satisfied with the views of others. Were I a teacher of youth in divinity, I would first learn their capacity and mind. If these were good, I would make them study the Bible for themselves, and send them out free to do the world good. But if they had no mind, I would stamp them with another's mind, write bigot on their forehead, and send them out as slaves! |

For a poor, recent college graduate... my taxidermy bill is getting out of hand! Due to the time I spent scouting for my Mtn. Goat hunt, I wasn't able to scout my pronghorn unit as much as I wanted but the 3 trips I did get in this summer definitely paid off.
I got to watch my buck chase smaller bucks away from his does and even got to see him breed two of his ladies. One things for sure, he was a stinky rutted up speed goat!
Next up is my WY doe pronghorn hunt (thankfully no chance raising my taxidermy bill!) followed by my mulie hunt during 2nd season.

About all the Angel Tales characters you're currently adding: Are they in the second season as well? http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/angel-tales-2 (if so, is there any changes in main/secondary?)
Hi, thanks for your submissions for Jin and Daichi from Kannagi. These characters have now been added to the database. :)
nice. Be sure to read this first:
a lot people, including myself didn't realize that the image size has to be very specific in order for us to post them. 130 x 180-200
they also can't be from other similiar websites like MAL for example. I've just been grabbing screen shots while I'm watching my shows.
anyway thank you for your help.
hey there,
thank you for you submissions to the anime-planet character database. I've added a few of your characters from Kannagi. everything looked pretty good I just added some screens and changed a couple of minor things.
thanks a lot for your help.
but I'm shocked u haven't been able to see not one DBZ movie....it should be pretty common since they did show a few on Cartoon Network...

Monte Cimone / Strma pec | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
From the NW, across Canal del Ferro, Monte Cimone / Strma peč is seen (close up) like a nice rocky dome. The wall left (in shadow) is high and almost vertical, it is called Sfonderat. The crest towards the west (right on the picture) is quite an unknown. There are summits, which get visited only by a few people every year - if at all. Only few descriptions in literature, endless opportunities for scrambling and more or less easy climbing. For harder climbs accesses to walls are quite remote. Autumn, 2008. | Image Data

Well, this is... SORT of Friday-like, right? I mean, how she's going to react to this revelation is still a cliffhanger, after all, and oh who am I kidding.
Thursday's comic
was the most Friday-est comic of the entire storyline. I should have done some sort of filler on Thursday and claimed it was somehow key to the storyline to push things back a day. Maybe Grace doing a magic show? Can't get more relevant than that.
Panel three was difficult for me to draw, as it's difficult for me to accept that my characters have nostrils. I mean, logically, I know they do. The art style doesn't show them unless necessary, but they must be there. It's not like they're constantly breathing through their mouths or absorbing oxygen into their lungs through their skin. Nonetheless, part of me was greatly opposed to it.
This reminds me of a
(AKA Kuririn) from
(minor SPOILERS ahead). He's a character without a nose, but what's interesting is that this isn't just a stylistic quirk. The fact that he has no nose it integral to him winning one of his fights against a stinky opponent early in the series. What's odd is that he later (or earlier? Can't recall) shoots boogers at an opponent to disrupt an attack, so how does... And breathing... And... Is it possible that something in
doesn't make sense?!

Pidd, M and Gunal, M (2009) Understanding target-driven action in A&E performance using simulation. Emergency Medicine Journal, 6. pp. 724-727. ISSN 1472-0213
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Many computer simulation models of emergency departments have been developed to aid clinicians and managers to maintain and improve the performance of their departments. A model is presented that can also be used to understand changes in performance that may occur as a result of the 4-hour target regime in the English NHS. The model simulates the performance resulting from normal activity, and the differences between this and actual performance are revealing. The results from two departments are presented to demonstrate this mode of model use. These reveal the extent of special action taken in some emergency departments as patients approach the target time, and also show the true underlying performance of the departments

West Hartford, Conn. – Amber Maisonet and Nicole Kothe scored two runs apiece to lead UAlbany to a 6-2 win over Hartford in the first game of an America East Conference softball doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. Hartford claimed the second game by a score of 1-0, in an eight-inning pitcher's duel.
UAlbany (23-12, AE 11-2) recorded a three-run fourth inning in the early game, as first baseman Leanne Tillman led off the frame with a walk. Tillman advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Kat Smith and scored on a Hartford error, which also allowed Kothe to reach base safely. Maisonet drew a walk and stole second before Andrianna Walraven knocked an RBI single to score Kothe. Maisonet scored the third run of the inning on a wild pitch by the Hawks' Brittney Stratton.
The Great Danes added a single run in the fifth inning on a lead-off homer by Meagan Butsch, her fifth of the season. UAlbany added two more runs in the top of the sixth frame, loading the bases with a walk by Kothe and back-to-back singles by Maisonet and Walraven. Michelle Connors (Shenendehowa) singled up the middle to drive in Kothe and Maisonet.
UAlbany pitcher Marissa Powell, who improved to 9-7 on the season, took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before giving up solo home runs to Jackie Simonetty and Kristen Cericola. Powell fanned seven opposing batters in her complete-game performance. Stratton took the loss for Hartford, striking out four over six innings before being relieved in the seventh by Amanda Farnan.
Stratton recorded an eight-inning no-hitter in the second game to lead the Hawks to their extra-inning victory. Right fielder Amanda Sais broke up a scoreless tie by knocking a two-out, RBI single to left to score pinch runner Kayla Demarest and give Hartford (16-15, AE 5-8) the win.
UAlbany hurler Leah McIntosh took a no-hitter into the final frame before giving up three hits. McIntosh struck out a career-high 13 batters over 7.2 innings.
The two teams will meet in the series finale on Sunday, beginning at 12 p.m.
UAlbany 000 312 0 - 6 8 1

Rumors have been swirling that Apple plans to introduce touchscreen versions of its laptops and iMacs in the near future, effectively combining the best of the desktop computing and tablet worlds. A new feature found in Mac OS X Lion lends even more credence to that idea.
A new video posted on 9 to 5 Mac shows that Apple has made the default scrolling option in Lion one that moves a page in the opposite direction of your scrolling movements, like on the iPad. If you have a touchscreen phone or tablet, you already know how this works. While browsing a web page, if you want to scroll down, you use your fingers to slide the page upwards. This is different from desktop computers and laptops that have you scroll down to move a page down and up to move a page up. Of course, you will be able to return scrolling to "normal" if you can't get with it.
This shouldn't be too much of a surprise, though, as the current tagline for the upcoming Mac OS X reads, "The power of Mac OS X. The magic of iPad."

'La Paz', a cybister amaryllis, is the only other one I've got potted up right now and it's just beginning to open. This bulb is one of the very first amaryllis I ever grew, having purchased it in the fall of 2005.
During the summer, my bulbs are put into the ground in full sun so they can beef up for blooming the following winter. I lift them in late September, before first frost, and they're then stored in the basement until I pot them up again.

Posted August 3, 2011

In a recent article dedicated to Integration Services on this forum, we started exploring their ability to interact with other Business Intelligence-related features of the SQL Server 2008 R2 product line, focusing in particular on Analysis Services. After describing the most elementary principles of this technology (which you might want to review before reading further), we provided a comprehensive overview of Analysis Services Processing Task. Unfortunately, despite considerable range of configurable options, its applicability is relatively limited, allowing you essentially only to update Analysis Services objects, typically following changes to the underlying data they reference. Now it is time to present its more versatile sibling known as Analysis Services Execute DDL Task.
The term DDL designates Data Definition Language, which implies an action involving creating data structures. In the context of Analysis Services Execute DDL Task, this is a bit of a misnomer because its capabilities are much more diverse, extending to such areas as backups, restores, deletions, modifications, or processing (which, in essence, mirrors the basic functionality facilitated by the Analysis Services Processing Task). This is accomplished by employing Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL), which, in turn, relies on three complementing mechanisms:
If you want to determine the Data Definition Language-based description of an arbitrary Analysis Services object, launch View Code command from its context-sensitive menu in the Solution Explorer of Business Intelligence Development Studio. Similarly, if your intention is to identify the format of an XMLA command to carry out a specific action on a given object, you can take advantage of capabilities built into SQL Server Management Studio. More specifically, after you connect to the target instance of Analysis Services and display its content in the Object Explorer window, you are able to create scripts for object-specific actions by using features incorporated into their graphical representation. For example, the Script Database entry included in the context-sensitive menu of the Analysis Services database contains three sub-menu options CREATE To, ALTER To, and DELETE To, allowing you to capture the corresponding XMLA syntax into a New Query Editor Window, File, or Clipboard (the same procedure applies to Data Sources, Data Source Views, Cubes, Dimensions, and Mining Structures). In the same manner, you can use the Script button in a toolbar of dialog boxes displayed after selecting Back Up..., Restore..., Detach..., Process, or Delete entries appearing in the context-sensitive menu of individual Analysis Services objects within Object Explorer.
Following this brief introduction into ASSL, let's step through an example demonstrating sample use of Analysis Services Execute DDL Task. We will use for this purpose the Adventure Works DW 2008R2 database, available as a self-extracting executable for download from the CodePlex website (for more details regarding its deployment, refer to our previous article). Assuming that the local SQL Server 2008 R2 instance includes Analysis Services installation with the newly deployed sample database, launch Business Intelligence Development Studio and create a new project based on Integration Services template. Drag Analysis Services Execute DDL Task from the Toolbox onto the Designer surface and select Edit... command from its context-sensitive menu to launch its Editor window. Set Name and Description values in the General section to indicate the task's purpose and switch to the next one labeled DDL. Start by defining a new Connection. Point to the target Analysis Services instance by adjusting Data Source and choose appropriate authentication method (alternatively, you have an option of leveraging a Business Intelligence Development Studio solution that contains a project based on the Analysis Services template, as described in our previous article). Use Test Connection button to verify that the target instance is accessible and confirm your changes by clicking on the OK command button. Next, you need to set the value of Source Type parameter, which determines the way of specifying ASSL command - Direct Input, File Connection, or Variable. Your choice affects format of the third parameter, which contains specifics of the location you designate. For the sake of simplicity, we will use Direct Input, although, in general, you would probably want to opt for one of the other two in order to make your package more flexible.
At this point, we need to construct an XML-formatted ASSL command that will trigger execution of an action we want to implement. Fortunately, as long as its target is an existing object, this is relatively easy to accomplish. As we have explained above, you can generate desired syntax by employing functionality incorporated into SQL Server Management Studio. For example, let's assume that our goal is to trigger processing of the Account dimension. Once you right click on its visual representation in the Object Explorer (under Dimensions subfolder), you will be presented with a context sensitive menu containing Process entry. Selecting it will trigger display of Process Dimensions - Account dialog box, where you can customize processing options and dimension key errors configuration. All changes you make are reflected in the corresponding XML-based representation of the command appearing in the Query window displayed by clicking on Script button at the top of the page, which will take the form similar to the following:

Simply copy its content to the DDL Statements window of the Analysis Services Execute DDL Task Editor, confirm your decision by clicking twice on the OK command button, and execute the package. You would follow the same procedure if you wanted to modify, delete, backup, or restore arbitrary object (creating new ones is a bit more challenging, since it requires defining their structure in the data definition language syntax). Obviously, creating a new Analysis Services object will require a bit more effort and getting more intimately familiar with the ASSL syntax (available, as mentioned earlier, at Analysis Services Scripting Language Reference).
In conclusion, Analysis Services Execute DDL Task offers significant benefit when automating repeatable maintenance tasks (such as processing or backup) of Analysis Services objects. You can configure them (as part of an SSIS package) in a manner that allows you to designate target objects via SSIS variables, which values are assigned dynamically (for example by a Script or SQL Query task), providing extra level of flexibility.

Homeless Get (Fake) Designer Shoes For Holidays
If you see a homeless person hot stepping in some Manolo look-alikes or strutting in what appear to be brand new Air Jordans, we don't blame you for doing a double take. But it's all good. Turns out counterfeit footwear seized by Los Angeles police in the Fashion District and elsewhere is being donated to the homeless.
Where authorities used to have to destroy such goods, they can now be passed along to nonprofits for use by the homeless under a California law introduced by local state Sen. Gil Cedillo. As long as the trademark holder consents, the fake goods can be given a second life.
5,000 pairs of shoes are going to the Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row, City Attorney's office spokesman Frank Mateljan said Thursday. Another 5,000 are slated for the mission next month. "It makes so much more sense to use them, instead of sending them to
the landfill,'' Mateljan said.
"On Christmas day over 1,800 men, women and children will come to the Union Rescue Mission or to one of our four winter shelter programs to find refuge and we are thrilled to be able to surprise them with a new pair of shoes for Christmas,'' said Mission CEO Andy Bales.

text: MOORPARK, California, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM ® software for programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, today announced that it will demonstrate its industry-leading GibbsCAM MTM (multi-task machine) CNC programming software at the 2013 Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS), to be held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, April 16-18, 2013. The entire suite of the forthcoming GibbsCAM 2011 software release will also be available for previewing in the GibbsCAM booth #906. The GibbsCAM NC programming system for MTM allows manufacturers to safely and efficiently program the most advanced and sophisticated multi-tasking machines with multiple turrets and spindles. It fully supports multiple flows and all of the functions of both standard and Swiss style multi-task machines, including sub-spindles, live tooling, multiple turrets doing simultaneous machining, Y-axis on all turrets, thread whirling, B-axis turning, B-axis milling with Y offset, full 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining, and synchronization to optimize turret utilization and cycle times. Furthermore, Gibbs creates unique post processors for each machine and control combination, based upon MTM machine parameters and customer preferences, ensuring that each post processor is optimized for each customer's requirements. Gibbs has delivered over 1,000 unique post processors for both standard and Swiss style MTM machines, including the most complex machines from Citizen, Doosan, Ganesh, Haas, Hanwha, Index-Traub, Mazak, Miyano, Mori Seiki, Nakamura Tome, Okuma, Star CNC, Tornos, Tsugami, and Willemin- Macodel. "Collaboration with machine tool builders continues to help us stay on the leading-edge of Multi-Task Machining CNC programming software," says Robb Weinstein, Senior Vice President of Sales and Strategic Planning of Gibbs and Associates. "For the last 10 years Gibbs has been a leader in supporting full functionality for programming "standard" MTM machines. During the last few years GibbsCAM has become a recognized leader in programming Swiss style MTM machines too." Standard features of GibbsCAM are an easy-to-use and simple-to-navigate user interface with language and icons familiar to programmers and machinists, the capability to program the most complex machining processes, and the flexibility to allow user-preferred approaches to jobs, with options that are logical to programmers. Additional features of great importance to MTM programmers are integration of turning, milling and utility operations; synchronization of turrets and spindles; and a summary of operations. GibbsCAM integrates turning , milling and utility operations , so the user can move back and forth from turning to milling to utility operations, at any time, with simple mouse clicks. Integration enables programming operations in proper sequence, without leaving the software, so that trouble-shooting a program is usually nothing more than optimization. For visualization and toolpath verification , GibbsCAM includes Cut Part Rendering , which displays material removal whenever the programmer generates a toolpath, which can be verified in process, allowing the programmer to correct errors incrementally. The visual state of a part after each operation becomes stock for the next, as if the part were being machined. A part transferred to the sub-spindle is displayed with all prior, main-spindle operations completed, so the material removal display is accurate at every stage. In addition, GibbsCAM's machine simulation option allows users to simulate both the part being machined and all motion of the machine's moving components. For machine synchronization and optimization , GibbsCAM MTM ' s Sync Manager displays operations being machined on each turret and spindle, thereby allowing users to interactively optimize machine time. Sync Manager is especially useful for production runs where program optimization multiplies savings across thousands of parts. It allows automatic synchronization to prevent conflicts, and permits interactive wait-code insertion, with automatic checks and alerts for conflicts. GibbsCAM also accommodates use of machining patterns or machine modes, by allowing selection of the required utility, also allowing the programmer to insert a code within a flow, and automatically synchronizing the program with wait codes at the corresponding locations in the other flows. GibbsCAM ' s Operations Summary displays tool parameters and machining time for each operation, and a total cycle time, useful in locating lengthy operations for further optimization. Once programs are optimized, data from the Operations Summary is often used to estimate jobs, gauge machine and operator productivity, and even develop time-based incentives for machine operators. All GibbsCAM software is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The 64-bit version enables users to work with much larger files and to achieve faster and more accurate results with certain graphic, toolpath generation and post processing functions. It also provides higher efficiency and accuracy in evaluating machining operations with toolpath rendering and machine simulation, and provides full compatibility with 64-bit CAD systems, such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge and Autodesk Inventor. GibbsCAM is compatible with Windows 8.

That's what pictographs of the sort in this article are meant to do. For example, when they're used in a movie poster, they work to call up the memory of an entire movie and the feelings you associate with it in a single image.

Ratings Breakdown
Mickie Whisenant, Pflugerville, Texas, July 2002
The following is a recollection of events that occurred in July of 2002 at Capital Memorial Parks Cemetery in Pflugerville, Texas; and although the recollection reads like horror fiction, it was very real to those who witnessed some form of paranormal activity.
The old, two-story red brick office building still stands at the northern end of several acres that compose the Capital Memorial Parks cemetery complex, where business matters, customer services, comfort, and support were sought as far back as sixty years ago. But now, shrouded in mystery as tales of the paranormal surround it, it serves only as a storage area for aged documents and office furniture no longer needed. Not only has progress and the need for expansion played a great role in the fate of this small building, but unexplained phenomena has also contributed to the lack of normal human activity within its walls. Normal human activity ceases upon entry into this shell of a building, where frequent meetings and research have become nonexistent as panic stricken employees lose the ability to reason, forcing them to flee the area in a sudden terrified state of uncontrollable fear brought on by some unknown force that seems to occupy the red brick structure.
Surfacing among these cemetery employees are tales of doors locking mysteriously, hair being pulled, and the image of some spectral entity imprinted on a front window screen where the shutters have long since become dislodged from their original positions.
All this piqued my curiosity, so I decided to investigate.
It was a hot day in July 2002 when Regina and I arrived at the old red brick building on the Capital Memorial Park cemetery complex at approximately 1 PM. The doors to the building remain locked at all times, so in order to get a feel for the place, we walked around the entirety of the two-story structure, observing every window, door, and crevice until we were assured that nothing seemed unusual or out of place. We then decided to leave. Suddenly another car pulled up; a man got out, unlocked the door to the building, and went inside. We waited for him to come outside, anxious to seek permission to enter the red structure. Soon, he emerged from the building, his arms full of folders and papers, so we asked if we could go inside and look around. The man agreed, so the three of us entered the building, a building filled with boxes, file cabinets, old office furniture, and a musty smell. We examined every room on the lower level, searching for signs of anything out of the ordinary, and then we proceeded to the stairs leading to the second level, where Regina sensed an evil presence. So, with Regina and the gentleman standing at the base of the stairs, I slowly ascended the stairs alone, alone in my search for evidence of paranormal activity. Upon my arrival to the second floor, I found a kitchenette and a couple of small offices where papers were scattered in disarray. As I entered one abandoned office, it became quite clear that something was occupying it; for unlike the musty odor of the lower level, this room reeked of an odor so foul that it must be one of decay. I wasted no time descending the stairs and telling the other occupants to get out as quickly as possible; my intuition and fear dictated something amiss in the building.
After the three of us were safely outside with the door securely locked behind us, Regina pointed out the broken shutter and screen at the front of the building; imprinted in the screen was what appeared to be the gaunt, angered face of a ghoul, a ghoul trying to force its way out through the front window screen. Was the odor in the building and the impression on the screen a warning to us to stay out? Were we being chased out of the building by some unseen force? I am not certain what happened, but of one thing I am certain, I will never set foot in that red brick building again.

Such photos of freedom and femininity, meadows and wild flowers and lakes!
Just yesterday, Mom and I talked about a wild bunny she saw and then the topic veered off to nature. It's one of my top five complains in the country – less trees. I love trees and that's not because they're the easiest to draw but because they are an important factor in nature, they add beauty and they benefit us humans so much. I won't expect forests near the city here. Just more trees on the islands on roads. That would be beautiful, don't you think? Oh how I envy America!
On another note, this is my second post containing edited photos which I largely disown. Katrina gave me the idea of including the name/username of the owner on the photo; Liss made me reconsider how I posts pictures on my blog which are not mine. I took measures such as saving the file with the owner's name and crediting more. On the link (click Liss), she also gave tips on how to find the owner of the photo you found.
On another website (which I forgot where), I also found an article about a writer who used the artist's work and did not ask for a permission. Naturally, the artist requested for his artwork to be removed and the writer did so but with much bitterness! The writer complained that the artist must be thankful as his work was used and seen by many so why request for it to be removed? Blah blah blah.
Is that right? Is the writer's logic correct? I think not.

Thank you for using my picutres. i got a google alert to say you had used them :) xx
Hello Ginger! I did not know that such feature on Google exists! That is helpful to those who have their photos online.
You are very nice :) You should call my usage of your photos as love. I'm happy you're not touchy.
those pictures are so beautiful–ethereal, really.
as for crediting pics, i try to do so whenever i post on my blog–i usually just link or name the site in the picture caption.
the way i see it, i don't mind if someone uses an idea or image of mine as long as i am given credit and a link.
But some artists are just very touchy when someone used their artwork! I think it's safer to take more measures of crediting. I'd want to dodge any complaints.

Gordon Ramsay Reveals the 1 Place You Should Never Eat
Sure, Gordon Ramsay has high standards, but is there really anything he would never eat? Turns out it's more of a place where he would never eat rather than one specific food — and that's on a plane. In an interview with Refinery29, Gordon revealed his feelings about airplane food and why those feelings might be justified. "There's no f*cking way I eat on planes," he said. "I worked for airlines for 10 years, so I know where this food's been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board." Yikes. The man has a point — there's no denying that airplane food is not the best. So what's a traveler to do to avoid midflight hunger, according to the world-renowned chef? If you're like

Dear Abby: Family thinks ill husband is faking it
DEAR ABBY: My husband has been sick and unable to work for several years due to a debilitating illness. He has been home taking care of the kids while I have been working full time. We have lost everything because of the financial burden of his illness. I am very grateful to my parents for helping us financially during this tough time. Unfortunately, I believe some of my family think my husband is faking his illness. This is hurtful since they have known him for a long time (we've been married 12 years). My sister recently asked him in a rather nasty way why he doesn't just go get a job, and I'm beginning to think that my parents share her sentiment. He already feels guilty and worthless for

Did Russia Help Trump Win the Primary? Marco Rubio Deliberately 'Sidelined,' Senate Investigation Told
Russia not only worked to help President Donald Trump win the presidential election over Hillary Clinton last November, it also aided his victory in the Republican primary, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating the allegations of Kremlin meddling was told Thursday. Clinton Watts, a senior fellow at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at The George Washington University, told the investigation that Russia worked to undermine the campaigns of both Republican and Democratic candidates who held less favorable views toward Russia, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Senate kills family-planning rule; Pence breaks tie
By Lisa Lambert WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Mike Pence took the rare step of breaking a tie in the U.S. Senate on Thursday, casting the deciding vote to roll back protections for reproductive health funds. Using the Congressional Review Act, which allows lawmakers to repeal recently minted regulations, senators killed a rule intended to keep federal grants flowing to clinics that provide contraception and other services in states that want to block the funding. The rule was enacted in the final weeks of former President Barack Obama's administration, giving lawmakers the opening to nullify it under the review law.

This Guy Wrote Down All the Reasons His Wife Cries, and It'll Crack You Up
Sometimes women just need to let out a good cry, and we might not even know the reason, let alone remember it a week later. So when one husband couldn't begin to keep up with the reasons for his wife's tears, he decided to write them down. As he said in his Reddit post, "My wife cries at absolutely anything. I mean, ANYTHING. So i started writing the reasons down because reasons." The resulting notebook is hilarious, with reasons from "she was hungover and saw a picture of a piglet" (aw) to "I waited until it was dark and pretended to be the Babadook" (duh). One commenter wrote, "To be fair, I'm a grown ass man and that one might even make me cry." This is a pretty ingenious idea, right? Keeping

Crayola has officially killed a crayon. RIP.
Crayola has retired one of the colors from its classic 24-pack early and hearts are breaking. Last week, the art supply company announced it would be canning a crayon on March 31 (a.k.a. National Crayon Day), but because the company likes to toy with our emotions, they cast off the weakest link Thursday afternoon. So who got booted from the box? SEE ALSO: Crayola is killing off a crayon and WTF does it think it's doing right now? Say goodbye to Crayola's beloved Dandelion. A spokesperson from Crayola told Mashable that the gold-colored crayon's early departure was due to "a case of wanderlust" and "an adventurous spirit," and though the crayon seems pretty jazzed in its retirement video, we can bet if it'd been given the choice that good old Dandelion crayon wouldn't want to part from its BFFs of over 100 years. Our beloved Dandelion decided to announce his retirement early! There's no taming an adventurous spirit! #NationalCrayonDay pic.twitter.com/RMk6pw3jR2 — Crayola (@Crayola) March 30, 2017 More details — including the new color set to join the 24-count box — will be unveiled Friday at a Crayola event in Times Square, which will be livestreamed on Facebook. Break free from the box and go enjoy your life, Dandelion. You will be missed. WATCH: Check out Samsung's latest 'Gear VR' and 'Gear 360'

Spring Break, Mission Trips, Business & Other Travel Warrants Protections
NASHVILLE – In 2016, 63 travelers returned to Tennessee infected with Zika virus. In each of those cases, the Tennessee Department of Health and the Tennessee medical community worked quickly to ensure the virus would not spread to others.
Many Tennesseans are now planning for spring breaks, mission trips and other travel to warmer locations where mosquito populations are known to transmit Zika. TDH reminds Tennesseans that mosquito bite precautions are vital to protecting their health and the health of others where they live, work, play and pray when returning.

Foodie Friday **** Flashback Friday.
Here's the cake I made for Lily's Birthday...THE BIG CUPCAKE as the pan is called by Wilton..
Chocolate cake with whipped cream icing..
We didn't get to eat it, poor kid got sick in the afternoon, fever, etc..strep throat...
So we sang, but that was it. She was so sick she didn't even want to open her presents..Last year she broke her wrist at her birthday party...I am afraid for next year! :)
Chicken Parmesan Pizza...
I bought the dough from the pizza place..used homemade sauce..
Fry small pieces of chicken cutlet, and put it on the pizza, sprinkle with cheese, and bake...
Filling, and so much less expensive than buying a pizza..
My flashback is this pretty Mama Bunny from Villeroy and Boch I gave my dil last year. The top comes off so it can be filled with candy or cookies..
And because I have a craving for ribs, some low and slow baked ribs and home made coleslaw..
This week I did a little bargain hunting and found these plates for....
70 cents each...Home Goods clearance
From The Christmas Tree Shop..
How about this cute little rabbit in a cage...( I didn't take him..so he's still there for you!)
Or these little polka dot ramekins...1.29
Please check the other entries for Foodie Fri at Gollums fun blog Blog..

Kathleen, I hope Lily's doing better by now ... Let's hope her next birthday does not have any mishaps.
The large cupcake ... Nice to see how it looks before assembling. I have had the pan for over a year and it is still unused. I need to get it out and make one. Good idea using whipped cream.
Love your polka dot dishes ....Jewel, she is okay now, a few days of antibiotics..she is the oldest of 4, and she just turned 8, so it travels through the family!
I don't think she knows what stress is! LOL..
Cynthia, make the cupcake with Addi, she will love it..
Yes, Susan, see the Mama bunny holding the baby? Next Cmas and Easter you will have a little one to love!
Marsha, I did get the little ramekins..too cute to pass up!
Foley, definitely make your own..it is so easy!
Thanks Ellen and Suzy. I am always down on the floor in clearance.
If I go missing , they should check TJMaxx and Home Goods . I will be under a pile of dishes!Hi Kathleen, Oh your poor little girl getting sick on her birthday! That happened to my oldest when she was in 2nd grade -- it still breaks my heart to think about it. She didn't open her gifts for 2 days!
I LOVE that giant cupcake cake. And --- my goodness, where might that Williams Sonoma be, where you bought that pan?
With the weather getting warmer, I'm beginning to get restless to get out to Southold and get the house ready for the summer. Lots to do!
Say hello to my East End for me! Thanks for visiting... and wish your daughter a Happy Birthday from me.
CassAhhh...poor baby. I hope she feels better soon.
I remember when you got the BIG cupcake mold but I think this is the first time I've seen the results. It's so cute and I love the way you decorated it!!!
LOVE...love...love the polka dot plate and bowl...so cute. You kill me with the wonderful bargains you find.I have thought and thought about getting a Wilton cupcake pan; but my misadventures in icing always held me back. I'm okay as long as it involves icing in a bowl, not piped in any way. :-)
Were your ribs cooked in a crockpot?
The dishes were a buy! I haven't been dishspotting in a while and may never do it again, even if I finish the book. I am a lost woman. :-) I love the polka dot dishes. I found a "caged chick" at Big Lots--my husband loves All Things Chickenish, so he was a pushover. Fingers crossed for your granddaughter's next birthday--may it be wonderful in all ways!
P.S. I am JUST NOW dismantling the St. Paddy's tablescape. :-) I'm a slacker! But I'm sure hating to see it go. I even ordered a huge shamrock baking pan for *next* St. Paddy's. You can see where my heart is: Ireland.Hi there!
I looked at some of the links in Foodie Friday and I came across your page lol! I just love looking all the food that you guys prepared! I have no idea how to prepare food but I love eating 'em LOL.
That Chicken Parmesan Pizza looks so tasty. It doesn't seem like a homemade dish! I see Pizzas like this more often in restaurants lol. And I'm not kidding! :)
Those plates for only 70 cents each? What a fine bargain!
Much Love,

"You may soon see airships flying around the area like we did in the 1930s," said Lew Braxton, Ames deputy center director.
Braxton clarified his agency's position after Congresswoman Anna Eshoo made a strong statement last week that a plan must be in place to reuse Hangar One if Congress is to approve funding to restore the massive structure.
The Navy is set to remove Hangar One's siding in November as part of a toxics cleanup, and NASA has struggled to find a way to pay for the restoration of the historic landmark.
"Hangar One is the Statue of Liberty of the West Coast," Braxton said.
Under President Obama's new budget for NASA, there will be an $80 million increase every year for five years for NASA to conduct aeronautical research. Whether some of that money could go towards saving Hangar One is uncertain, but Braxton said "We would like (Hangar One) to be a part of our aeronautical program," later adding that "We will have to see who has the deep pockets to address that."
Braxton also noted that "there are companies that are interested" in using Hangar One for the development of lighter-than-air aircraft for the U.S. Department of Defense, which Lockheed Martin is already doing.
Since its inception in 1939, NASA Ames has been working with defense contractors on the development of aircraft technology.
129th here to stay
Meanwhile, Eshoo announced Wednesday that the 129th Air Rescue Wing of the Air National Guard finally has a "permanent home" at Moffett Field.
Eshoo said in a statement that she has been pushing for 17 years to keep the unit at Moffett, where it is rapidly deployed to assist in disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and various off-shore emergencies. NASA Ames and the Air Force have signed onto an agreement to allow the unit to stay for up to 50 years, giving its men and women some "much deserved stability," Eshoo said.
"To my constituents and the greater Bay Area this means we can continue to count on the 129th Rescue Wing in times of need, especially in the post-9/11 era," Eshoo said in a statement. "This is the first time in the history of the Unit that it will be operating with a long-term agreement."

This is one of the easiest and most baffling silk productions ever. Used by leading performers such as Julianna Chen.
The performer displays a sheet of ordinary newspaper. He then pokes a hole in the paper and produces a colorful silk hank. The paper is shown on both sides and the silk hank can be seen protruding from both sides.
The performer continues to pop a holes in the paper and produces three more silk hanks! He can even produce a nylon stocking!!

Last week Florida celebrated Literacy Week. For those of you who missed the statewide promotion to remember to read, fear not. I, Warren Parkin a literate, am declaring February Florida Literacy Month. I know that February also marks national Black History Month. The two celebrations are not incompatible. In fact, they compliment each other. Thus, it is a good time to recommend some good books.

About: | ''The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.'' |

Import duty & taxes when importing into the United States
Import duty and taxes are due when importing goods into the United States whether by a private individual or a commercial entity. The valuation method is FOB (Free on Board), which means that the import duty and taxes payable are calculated exclusively on the value of the imported goods. However, some duties are based part in value and part in quantity. In addition to duty, imports may be subject to a Merchandise Processing Fee, and in some cases to sales tax, and Federal Excise Tax.
NB: The Customs Territory of the U.S. includes the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Therefore, Puerto Rico applies the same tariff codes and rates as the U.S., but it has its own fiscal jurisdiction.
Duty Rates
Duty rates in the U.S. can be ad valorem (as a percentage of value) or specific (dollars/cents per unit). Duty rates vary from 0% to 37.5%, with the average duty rate being 5.63%. Some goods are not subject to duty (e.g. some electronic products, or original paintings and antiques over 100 years old).
Preferential duty rates
USA has signed Free Trade Agreements with a number of countries. To be entitled to preferential tariff treatment, a good must meet the "originating" criteria as set out on the Rules of Origin of individual FTAs. A Certificate of Origin (COO) is required upon importation for preferential duty rates to apply. See a sample COO for NAFTA here.
NB: FTAs signed by the U.S. apply in the Customs Territory of the U.S., therefore include Puerto Rico.
Sales Tax
Sales tax is not automatically charged on imported goods. However, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) declarations are made available to state tax representatives that may occasionally claim state taxes from the importer.
Minimum thresholds
Duty and taxes are not charged if the FOB is up to USD 800.
Other taxes and custom fees
CBP collects federal taxes and fees on behalf of other federal agencies, like the Internal Revenue Service, depending on the commodity being imported. User fees depend on the type of entry and mode of transportation.
- Federal Excise tax is imposed on imports of alcoholic beverages and tobacco.
- Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) is charged on formal and informal entries:
- MPF on informal entries is either US$1, US$2, US$6, or US$9 per shipment, depending on the mode of transportation, and whether the entry release is manual or automated, and prepared by CBP personnel.
- MPF on formal entries (for imports of goods valued over US$2500) is set at 0.3464% of the value of the goods with a minimum charge of US$25 and a maximum of US$485.

Sir Christopher gave a sensible justification for shunning demerger, which he neatly described as the "seductive option" given the weight of investor backing for the idea. It would have cost a fortune in fees, he said, and caused serious tax headaches, especially for the spirits arm which earns most of its profits overseas and would fall short on UK earnings to offset its advance corporation tax liability.
What he didn't say explicitly, but almost certainly believes is that the current management is not up to the dual challenge of steering a steady trading course through turbulent conditions while preparing Allied for the big split. And of course if anyone knows what it takes to break up a large corporation it is Sir Christopher, who did the job with such resounding success at Courtaulds.
What he did say yesterday, but sotto voce in case anyone actually heard, was that he was not prepared to stand up and sell either business to investors as an independent entity. Neither the Ballantines, Teachers and Beefeater spirits business, nor the Big Steak Pubs to Baskin Robbins and Dunkin Donuts retail arm are credible businesses on their own. Quite an indictment, but a refreshingly honest appraisal of the company he has inherited.
Results for the 12 months to August yesterday confirmed the difficulties facing the group. Even stripping out the change of year-end and the one- off costs of finally extricating itself from brewing that distorted the figures in the table, underlying profits were 11 per cent lower than a year previously, hit mainly by a 580,000-case destocking by US wholesalers.
Spirits will continue to struggle against flat volumes around the world with prices moving in line with low inflation at best, and worryingly Allied appears to be coping less well with this trading backdrop than Guinness or GrandMet.
Retailing is well enough run, but it enjoys a less than exciting portfolio of brands including the unmemorable likes of Mr Q's and Wacky Warehouses and is being left standing by the really sharp operators like Whitbread.
On the basis of forecast profits of about pounds 620m, the shares trade on a prospective price/earnings ratio of 12 and offer a dividend yield of more than 6.5 per cent. Given the long uphill slog ahead, that is not a harsh rating and the shares, which have underperformed the market by 40 per cent over the past three years, are no more than fairly priced.

One can expect all the usual for a drum machine like velocity levels, swing, pad link, note repeat, step sequencer and vintage MPC 60 and SP 1200 sampling.
The Maschine Studio integrates perfectly with Komplete 9 giving users preset browsing, icon view and auto parameter mapping.

The French singer-songwriter and actor Gérard Berliner is dead.
Best known in France for his million-selling 1982 hit "Louise", Berliner died this earlier week at the age of 54 following a heart attack.
Berliner's name might be unfamiliar to many outside of this country, and indeed his work is probably not that well known to younger French generations.
But one song in particular, "Louise", stands out.
It sold 1.5 million copies when it was released in 1982 and was, according TF1, a song he was regularly invited to sing on television shows throughout the years.
More than a one-hit wonder, Berliner wrote and recorded several albums and appeared on television and stage as an actor.
His performance in the 2006 Molières-nominated show "Mon alter Hugo", inspired by the life of Victor Hugo, won him critical acclaim.
Back to the THAT song though, and listening to and watching his performance, perhaps two things stand out.
First of all no matter how long you live in a country which isn't your homeland or how well-versed (forgive the pun) you might have thought yourself with many of the music standards that have marked previous generations there's still inevitably something to discover - even when it's sadly too late.
And secondly, as the cliché goes, great songs, like (some) wine, only improve with age.
