Our vision is to be a church that experiences the transformative power of the gospel and responds in reliance upon the Holy Spirit by following Jesus Christ in his mission to make all things new at Central, in New York City, and throughout the world.
Dear Friends,
Central's bell tower has been empty since the late 1920's, when its famous 53-bell carillon was transferred uptown. The silence of the bells is a poignant metaphor for the decline Central experienced in the latter part of the 20th century, as the Word of God slowly stopped sounding forth from this church. Now, as part of our building restoration, we are working to return the bells to the tower–and we pray t can be a telling metaphor for Central's renewed commitment to sound forth the gospel from our lives, building, mission, and community.
As Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians, our faith is meant to make a sound, to ring out in ways that point people to the "living and true God." This is the heartbeat of our Restore Central campaign. We believe the gospel is the greatest story ever told. We invite you to join us in helping sound forth the glorious sound of renewal happening in our midst, so a watching city might see a God who renews all things.
In Christ,
Rev. Jason D. Harris
Senior Pastor
Central Presbyterian Church

It was a box of Sally Hansen Color Quick Chrome polish pens!!!! I've heard these are great for stamping but I never wanted to spend the $7-$8 they are always priced. For $1 each I couldn't pass it up so I grabbed a few. I think I got at least one of each color and then a double of ones I figured I use more. This is what I picked up:
These were the only colors they had. I'm going to check the one by my house after work.
Has anyone else been able to find these at the dollar store? Are you going to try and look for them? Please leave any questions/comments below, and thanks for reading my blog! :)

Both big-block and small-block Chevrolet engines most commonly have engine casting numbers located at the rear of the engine near the engine's interface to the transmission. The casting numbers are visible near the top of one of the engine's cylinder banks, though it may be necessary to move hoses or other components to see them in some cars. Once the casting number is located, it is possible to find information about the engine by decoding the casting number.
Casting numbers for Chevrolet big-block engines uniquely identify the engine type and intended use of the engine and may contain additional information about the engine's unique features. For example, a code of 12561358 indicates a Generation VI big-block engine displacing 502 cubic inches and using four mounting bolts, while a code of 24502504 indicates a Generation V 454-cubic inch, four-bolt race-prepped motor with a short deck height of 9.2 inches. There is no obvious structure to these codes, so the only way to understand them is to consult a reference of Chevrolet engine codes.
Big-block Chevrolet engines were primarily manufactured from the 1950s until the 1970s. After that time, Chevrolet's small-block engines became the dominant engine choice for most General Motors vehicles using V-8 engines. However, many modern "small-block" engines are as large or larger in terms of displacement as big-block engines.

From the Mailbox: What's the Definition of Testing?The good thing about the post is, it is not in the form of a debate ;), peoples are commenting in order to express there view not to challenge any other's view.
If this has to serve why do we test? then the first and foremost answer for both of these will be
- In his 1979 book The Art of Software Testing, Glenford Myers said, "Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors."
- Kaner, Falk and Nguyen agreed in their 1999 book, Testing Computer Software (2nd Ed): "The purpose of testing a program is to find problems in it."
so let it be more generic
as James Bach' told us
"Testing: questioning a product in order to evaluate it (Bach version);

Ariana Grande Breaks Down Recalling Manchester Tragedy
The mention of Manchester still brings Ariana Grande to tears.
The singer broke down during an interview on Friday with Ebro for Beats 1 on Apple Music in New York as she shared her thoughts on the concert last year when a suicide bomber killed 22 people.
She said that terrorists "want you to be afraid", adding that those who just heard about it on the news had moved on.
But for her and others, the challenge became just to "live in the moment" and not be overwhelmed by fear.
Her album Sweetener includes a song for Manchester survivors, Get Well Soon. It was released on Friday.
Grande also spoke of her fiance Pete Davidson, of Saturday Night Live.
She said she hoped to be married within five years, and that she would "probably" like to have three children.

DEVELOPMENT: Don't let them walk over us
How interesting to note that the outline application for the proposed retail development on the County Hall site was submitted to the planning department on Friday, November 18.
It should appear on the county's website five to nine days after it was submitted and once it has been "validated".
I say "interesting" because the so-called consultation was only held on Thursday, November 3.
Over 600 people attended the consultation, with many filling in the response forms then and there. Many others submitted their responses later, but within the timescale allowed.
Yet it appears to have been deemed that not only have all those responses been analysed, but adjustments have been made to the proposal after note has been taken of the community's comments, all in 12 working days. Some hope.
It appears to have been the charade we all assumed it would be.
Morpeth folk must not give up though.
We must submit our valid objections to each of the applications for the site and not let them just walk over us.

Morpeth Kirkhill Town Councillor

The Parade Has Ended, Time For Racing
Feb. 19, 2018
You love your sports, you love your teams, and you're always looking for more news about them.
Hey, hey, hey, #NASCARfamily! Welcome in to the third blog post of the 2018 season! It is officially Daytona 500 week!!! If you're new to the blog or the NASCAR Opinion brand, check out blog #1 to learn about me & the brand itself! With that being said, let's get to this week's topic, changes for the 2018 season! In this post, I will lay out the majority of reported changes from around the garage involving the Camping World Truck, Xfinity, and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
From driver moves, to manufacturer changes, this post will be your map to the NASCAR garage in 2018! To kick things off, I will list notable changes for each respective series. Then, I will discuss my top-3 most game-changing moves for each division. Enough explaining, let's get talking! (Disclaimer: changes after February 10th are not included in this post)
-ThorSport Racing to Ford
-Cody Coughlin to Gallagher Motorsports (GMS)
-Myatt Snider to ThorSport full-time No.13 Libery Tax Tundra
-Brett Moffitt joins Hattori Racing No.16
-Todd Gilliland full-time for KBM in No.4 (In May, when 18-yrs-old)
-David Gilliland forms new team, DGR-CROSLEY (KBM Partner, Redhorse Racing equip.)
-NextGen Racing: New team to Camping World Truck Series (Running 10-15 races with Landon Huffman as driver)
-Safelite joins KBM to sponsor Noah Gragson
-Dalton Sargeant joins GMS full-time in No.25 truck
-Brad Keselowski Racing has shut-down
-Kaz Grala leaves GMS
-Korbin Forrister running part-time with All Out Motorsports No.7
-Former driver Ben Kennedy named Truck Series General Manager
-Jordan Anderson changes to Toyota #3, Jordan Anderson Racing

-Robby Lyons running full-time with Premium Motorsports No.15
-Justin Fontaine full-time with Niece Motorsports No.45
-Spencer Davis, Brandon Jones, & Riley Herbts with KBM part-time in No.51
-ROTY candidates: Todd Gilliland & Dalton Sargeant
-New Hampshire taken off Truck schedule
-Two dates in Las Vegas, March & September
-Chicago moves up to June
-Dover moves up to May
-Iowa & Gateway flip dates (race 9 & 10)
-Canadian Tire Road-course joins Playoffs
-Playoffs 2018: Canadian Tire, Las Vegas, Talladega, Martinsville, Texas, Phoenix, Homestead
Top-3 game-changing Truck Series changes:
1. ThorSport to Ford: With Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR) closing it's doors, it seemed that Ford would be left stranded with no real title contenders under their banner. ThorSport announced in mid-January that the team would purchase assets from BKR, and join the blue oval camp. This move gives Ford at least 3 to 4 (fourth driver not announced yet) title contending Trucks, led by 2-time champion Matt Crafton. With ThorSport & Ford teaming up, don't hand the title to Toyota or Chevy just yet!
2. Todd Gilliland full-time at Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM): The 2-time K&N Pro Series West champion Todd Gilliland, will join KBM full-time in 2018. You won't see the youngster at Daytona or Atlanta, but the soon to be 18-year-old will become fully eligible in mid-May, where he will take over full driving duties of the No.4 Toyota. This move is huge in two facets. First, it will showcase the ability of the 18-time K&N Series winner. Todd has made a handful of Truck starts for KBM at smaller tracks, but has yet to leave a memorable mark. With solid finishes, there is plenty of potential, but the youngster hasn't had a star studded moment like his KBM alumni Erik Jones, Christopher Bell and William Byron thus far. Secondly, if Gilliland can keep his nose clean and win a race, he will be an automatic title contender. This team has won 2 of the last 3 Truck titles, and arguable deserved to win the third two years ago when Byron had an engine expire at Phoenix. No matter your thoughts on Gilliland or KBM, this team will be a title contender if and when Gilliland secures his first Truck victory in 2018.
3. Brad Keselowski Racing shuts down: Any time a team closes it's doors it showcases weaknesses in the sport, especially when that team is a consistent title contender. Rarely do competitive teams fold quickly, but in the modern NASCAR climate, it is becoming more difficult than ever to stay afloat in the lower division garage. With lower TV viewership, less fans in the stands and an ever increasing budget, it's not a surprise that many teams easily lose over a $1,000,000 a year. Brad Keselowski stated that his team was losing just that, one MILLION dollars a year. With BKR closing it's doors, it highlights the difficult times many teams are facing, which in essence should spark a change in NASCAR. Execs will have to find a way to lower costs for lower division teams, or the Truck and Xfinity Series may soon find themselves folding as well. Point is, BKR shutting down shows that no one is safe, and drastic times call for drastic measures.
-Christopher Bell joins Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) full-time in No.20
-Roush-Fenway Racing 'Ford Development' No.60: Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, Ty Majeski
-Austin Cindric will run other 24 races (not in No.60) with Team Penske No.12 & 22

Top-3 game-changing Xfinity Series changes:
1. Christopher Bell joins Joe Gibbs Racing: The 2017 Truck Series champion is poised for a breakout season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. You don't have to look far for someone to call this guy a favorite for the 2018 championship. This move is HUGE in terms of title contenders in the series. With defending champ William Byron moving to Cup, the door is wide open for someone such as Bell to make major noise in the title hunt. With the best equipment in the garage, Bell is a shoe in to make the playoffs, and a safe bet to make it to Homestead in November.
2. Roush-Fenway 'Ford Development' Team: No doubt this is an interesting pick for a top-3 game-changing move, but hear me out. This team is the first organization that I can remember to embrace the idea of 'driver development' at the Xfinity level. There are no tricks up Jack Roush's sleeve, it's cut and dry, this team is built to development the next crop of Ford drivers. Austin Cindric, Chase Briscoe, and Ty Majeski will split the 33 race schedule in hopes of landing a full-time sponsor or ride for the 2019 season. This move showcases the struggle to find quality rides in the sport, and could spark a new norm in NASCAR.
3. Ryan Truex to Kaulig Racing: The 2018 season will be a make or break year for Ryan Truex and Kaulig Racing. Kaulig a relatively young team, has parted ways with Blake Koch after two full seasons in the No.11. With a new driver, the team will have to prove that the only thing holding them back is a driver and not equipment. In addition, the new driver will have to showcase he has finally gained the opportunity he needs to remain a full-time participant in NASCAR. Truex, who made waves in the late 2000's at the K&N level, has continually struggled to find sustainable rides. After running full-time Trucks with Hattori Racing, Truex will move up to the Xfinity level for the first time. This year he will have to prove he is worth the investment of a big time sponsor and championship caliber team. No matter how you cut it, 2018 will have to be the year Ryan Truex & Kaulig Racing prove they belong in NASCAR.

Top-3 game-changing Cup Series changes:
1. Chevrolet to Camaro: There are a lot of 'make it or break it' years around the NASCAR garage, but none could be more important than the move from the Chevy SS to the Camaro ZL1. This shift will either put Chevy back on top in the Cup garage, or hand Toyota the reigns for the foreseeable future. Simply put, if the Camaro matches the hype, expect to see Hendrick Motorsports and Chip Ganassi Racing to make it a last man standing match for the 2018 Cup title. On the flip side, if Chevy fails to capitalize on the change, bow-tie organizations will have to wait another 3-5 years to get another at bat. This change is the most game-changing move, because this determines if Toyota can run away with the series, or have to claw for everything they've had the last few seasons.
2. New Engine Rules: The 2018 season will introduce new measures for teams in terms of engine management. In 2018 NASCAR is permitting all Cup teams use a minimum of 13 seal short-block (engine block, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods and pistons) in multiple events. This will cover at least 26 events on the schedule, leaving another 10 to be dealt with throughout the season. Teams can use a long-block motor for the Clash & All-Star Race. The third aspect of the new rules, is a usual in the rule book, but will again be majorly reinforced. Teams are regulated to one engine per race weekend. Any team that needs a backup engine or car must start in the back of the field. The only race that this alters is the Daytona 500. In the past, teams could swap engines prior to the 500-miler. This year, that won't happen. Overall, these changes aren't anything teams shouldn't be able to adjust to, but will force teams to manage their engine program. If there are any issues, there will be major repercussions, which could play a major role in the 2018 season.
3. Schedule Changes: As I laid out above, there are a handful of schedule changes for the 2018 season. Vegas will now host 2 Cup Series events, the second of which will be in the Playoffs. New Hampshire will now be down to 1 date to accommodate the second Vegas race. The Brickyard 400 will see a new date as it moves from mid-July to September. The crown jewel event will now play host to the regular season finale, as drivers do what it takes to snag a Playoff birth. Dover & Charlotte will swap race dates in both May & October. In addition to the date change, the second Charlotte date will now be raced on the newly named 'Charlotte Roval', a road-course designed to spice up the post-season. To add to Playoff changes, Chicago is now gone, being replaced by Richmond Raceway. This will add a second short-track to the 10 race Playoff. These changes are a big start to a schedule overhaul that needs to take place over the next 3-5 years. With enough solid changes, NASCAR has created a schedule that will entertain fans for another year or so. These moves are game-changing because this could spark the flame that NASCAR needs to visit new venues, and provide the entertaining schedule fans have been begging for, for years.
Misc. Changes:
-Rookie of the Year Award: Will now be awarded to highest finishing rookie in the final standings
-Standardized crew rosters: Three categories of personnel (organization, road crew, pit crew). number of members allowed per category vary among the three divisions. Number of organizational members in Cup are determined by team size (3 for one or two car teams & 4 for three or four car teams), 12 road crew & 5 pit crew per. Xfinity: 1 organizational, 7 road crew, 5 pit crew. Trucks: 1 organizational, 6 road crew & 5 pit crew.
-Five men over the wall for pit-stops in 2018
-Fuel man must only fuel car during pit-stops
-Practice penalties will now be assessed on the back end of practice, keeping cars from waiting on pit-road
-Composite side skirts to prevent team manipulation
-Tire Carrier allowed over the wall before car reaches stall
-Two lap penalty for too many men over the wall (more than 5) when repairing a vehicle (was immediate disqualification last season)
-Damaged vehicle clock now extended to 6 minutes (was 5)
-First round of qualifying shortened to 15-minutes (was 20) at intermediate tracks
-Standardized rectangle logos for all 3 major divisions
Well there you have it folks, all of the major changes for the 2018 season! I know there is a lot of information, so I hope I could guide you through most of them! Thanks for tagging along, I know this year will be an amazing one! Make sure you follow me on Twitter @nascar_opinion, and check out the NASCAST on SoundCloud! Thanks for reading, have a great day!

I'm still sick... It's a combination of things, sinus infection, crazy weather, and stress. It's been in the high 60's low 70's lately... when it was just "snowing" the other day. I'm trying to push my way through it. I have managed to attend all my classes thus far for the week so it is a new beginning. I'm trying to take that big girl pill everyday lol and do what I need to do, even being sick! I'm working on school though. Suddenly I've been hit with assignments being due everyday... I'm really exhausted.
I don't know what is going on... I lost 10 pounds, and now have gained 3 pounds :( I don't know why... I haven't been eating anymore than I have been from being sick. Maybe it's just me... who knows. I'm too stressed to really worry about it right now. As long as I total losing 20-25 pounds over the next few months I'll be a happy camper. I have til August to lost it... so one step at a time I suppose!
I know I haven't really been updating as often as I'd like to but things are hectic my way. Even Rob has been writing me asking where I have been and why he hasn't heard from me because he's been worried! I need to sit down and write him a letter... let him know I'm still living!
Well, I should probably go do my homework so that I can get into bed early! Another day of classes and work!

blah blah blah
Sometimes that exactly what I feel like. I've had the last couple of days off of work, and I've literally taken advantage of doing nothing!!! I came home from school, and picking up my brother from school, and mother from work... I ate dinner, and got in bed and have been laying in bed since about 7:30. It feels good to be lazy. I haven't really been able to eat lately... I guess it's from being sick... as I am still sick! I should've probably gone to see the doctor, but their just going to tell me the things I already know, and will tell me to take cough medicine or something for my sinuses and etc. I've been feeling a little better, but not enough.
Good news is, I'm getting my car back tomorrow morning. Totaling $1364.75. A month without my car for them to not do my any favors. I'm mad because what they said was originally wrong with the car, was not in fact wrong, so after fixing that, then saying, "oh theres more wrong we need to fix it" the just continue to charge me. Why are u charging me for replacing something that wasn't broke, and you being the mechanic should diagnose things properly before replacing them!!! So there's going to be an argument in the morning... because I feel that they need to do something about the price because they were in no hurry at all to get me my car!!! They said "it'll be ready in a week" then everyday after that it was "by friday" then that day came and it became the middle of next week, and finally it is done... and I will have it tomorrow... I'm just upset over the price... I think it's rediculous considering the amount of time they've had my car, and the things they claimed were wrong... So at 8am, I'll be there, then coming home to nap til I have to leave at 11:30 for class.
I have to work tomorrow night, and I have to say I'm not exactly looking forward to it. As I said I've enjoyed having the last 3 nights off. I feel bad for being lazy and getting next to nothing done, but I think I've needed the time to just sit.
I really need to start doing better in school, and focusing on that being my number 1 priority, so starting Monday... It's going to be 110% out of me!
Still maintaining my 10 pound loss.... without the big appetite I'm hoping to lose 5 more... but we'll see I force myself to eat, but it's very small amounts. I don't know! Anyway... I'm probably going to bed, and taking some nyquil. Hope everyone is well.

10 pounds
So I lost 10 pounds for the month of January... It was kinda accidental in a way... but I'm not complaining. Later I set the goal to make it 10, and I did it!
I'm still horribly sick, but to be honest I think its the amount of stress I carry with me. School is kicking my butt... and it shouldn't be! I think it's the fact that I work 6 days a week, and dont exactly get adequate amounts of sleep! I actually called into work tonight. I feel bad, but I worked sick all weekend, and no one cared... they didn't say it but I felt like they were saying "toughen up"... trust me... I was taking dayquil caplets every 3 hours instead of 4 to overlap the wear-off time! and when I'd get home I'd take nyquil and benadryl... I have to be sick from stress because I actually broke out in hives one night. That doesn't happen to me to often either! I'll be glad when I'm feeling better. The sickness probably also added in the weightloss, but for not I will take it!
I'm so very behind in all my school work from being sick and working this weekend. I needed to do homework and stuff and just couldn't bear to sit and do it. So today, I have to push through it and get done what needs to be done for tomorrow. Title page, and reference page for my behavioral psych class... so that he can approve my topic or not, then I have memory and cognition homework that was due LAST week Tuesday! thats a -10, but in all honesty I've been sick! Have not gone out, have not ate out, have not done anything but sleep and work!
I need to get to work on those assignments and get in bed. Hope all is well.

As an academic and international consultant who has spent his life on water management and irrigation, and a proud New Zealander, I am horrified at the fundamental lack of understanding about water issues in our country.
I see emotion pitted against the science and I hold my aged head in my hands. I see mistruths spread by the environmental lobby, the media getting things factually wrong time and again, and it's no wonder the public are so confused and the issue has become a political football.
This has to change if we are to protect our water for future generations.
Fresh water is recognised globally as our most precious resource, bar none. Pakistan has gone to war with India three times over the share of surface water from the Indus River. Two Central Asian states moved close to conflict over water as recently as 2008. Large areas of the world, like Western California, wouldn't exist without irrigation. I've seen uncontrolled water takes in China and India, where locals are free to dig their own wells, go horribly wrong when the population expands and groundwater supplies run dry. Water futures are serious matters.
With an ever-increasing world population requiring a doubling of food supplies by 2050, climate change, and inevitably more intensive industrial and farming practices, it's fair to say that management of our water resource has become one of the world's most critical issues. It won't surprise you to know New Zealand isn't the only country to debate how to balance using water with maintaining it as an ongoing resource. But our conversation has the luxury of balancing environmental quality against economic water use issues, in a situation of ample per capita water resources.
Common sense concerns about equity, fairness and economic efficiency do not appear in the current water tax debate. They have been forgotten in the melee created by media headlines and a lack of understanding by current players.
So what do other countries think about how New Zealand manages its water? While we have clear legacy issues we now have to deal with, most of the international experts I've spoken to seem to think that New Zealand has the potential to get it about right. We have the science, the tools and the technology – and an informed and educated people. They might change their view, however, if they were privy to the current screaming match developing around the protagonists.
It is debatable if the implementation of the Resource Management Act has been enough to materially improve our water environment. More progress is now being made by people on the ground – farming industry commitments to improve and manage environmental issues; and local communities coming together to agree on their water futures.
Stock are increasingly fenced off from waterways. Riparian strip plantings are increasing. Precision agriculture is reducing nitrogen in groundwater. We introduced a collaborative forum, Land and Water Forum (LAWF), that got everyone round the table in an attempt to balance the competing needs for water – from food and energy production to the needs of the environment and community values. But then Fish and Game, and a few other environmental groups, left LAWF. Greenpeace began calling for irrigation to stop. And then Labour decided to propose a water tax.
Common sense concerns about equity, fairness and economic efficiency do not appear in the current water tax debate. They have been forgotten in the melee created by media headlines and a lack of understanding by current players. The justification now for introducing a water tax is largely driven by the desire to de-intensify agriculture in the belief that this will solve current environmental concerns about water quality. But it has not been shown that taxing water would de-intensify agriculture, or that a tax is the best approach to getting the environmental improvements we desire. There is no science to justify such a move – or history.
What other people have found, and the Labour Party needs to learn, is that a water tax is too complex, impossible to be equitable, and causes a raft of unforeseen social and economic consequences.
Forms of a water tax have been attempted in many countries over the last 200 years, but they have largely been abandoned. What other people have found, and the Labour Party needs to learn, is that a water tax is too complex, impossible to be equitable, and causes a raft of unforeseen social and economic consequences. Water taxes have been replaced by transparent targeted user charges to cover water management costs and address environmental quality issues.
Tackling our legacy problems of reduced environmental quality needs a cooperative effort from all concerned and a move away from adversarial and costly legal and regulatory processes. These will not work. They have not worked to date.
We also need stability and transparency supported by all sides of the political agenda – changing direction every political cycle is a guarantee of failure.
Drop the proposed water tax and re-instate the LAWF with bi-partisan support.
The Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) shows how gains can be made when opposing views have a science-based conversation and not an argument based on personal or group agendas. The international interest in CWMS processes is intense.
If we keep on the present track – increasingly dominated by adversarial processes in a post-truth era and with the associated media hype – we will lose the promise of progress through collaboration, creating a common way forward for everyone with a long term interest in water. If we do, it is at the great detriment to our country's precious fresh water heritage.

A little story of the humans behind the camera
I'm Alfonso since i was a kid i felt like the world was there to see, to explore, to touch, to discover; so now that's what i do, and what i truly love…Photographs.
My secret passion? Skateboard, yeah!! It was a big deal for me when i was a young Alfonso. My other love? Music, playing it, listening it and of course party with it.
Now, the thing that i enjoy the most it's a cup of coffee in the morning, taking my time to put some magic on when i'm editing, spending moments with the ones i love, with long conversations, good food, one or two beers… sometimes i little bit more. :)
If you are wondering who is that incredible and fashion girl in the photo? Let me introduce you, she is Amelia, (actually you will hear a lot about her), while i get the chance to be creative, she runs everything else, (Thanks God!) she gives every couple time, patience and care; she is my other half (the one that talks so much more than me), my best friend (feel free to trust her hundred percent). Together, we make possible to know wonderful love stories, awesome couples and to be passionate about weddings.
Oh¡ well, to be honest, our team it's made of three master minds, this last one it's the lil one of the family, it's really flurry and even if you don't believe it, with his brown big eyes, silky ears and fantastic knowledge of fashion its capable, to close a deal. Agustus it's our little friend, he keeps us company all the time and we believe he is a real wedding lover like us (well at least of all the treats he gets of every trip we make).
So, this is us, our little story.

'Mirror, Mirror' trailer - It makes 'Snow White and The Huntsman' look like 'Citizen Kane'
There are two Snow White films hitting theaters soon, for some reason. Last week, we checked out the first trailer for Snow White & The Huntsman, which takes a moody, Twilight approach to the classic tale, and now we have the first trailer for Mirror, Mirror, which is directed by Tarsem Singh, who was responsible for The Fall, an intriguing movie that blends dream and reality, and more recently, the disappointing Immortals. It was written by three people, none of whom seem terribly experienced at writing good films.

I don't like to admit it, but vegetable side dishes sometimes get short shrift when it comes to my meal planning. I'll often get so involved with making an entree that come dinner time, I'll quickly steam up some greens or just forgo them altogether. Not that anything is wrong with steamed broccoli or spinach, but sometimes they get, well, monotonous.
Lately, I've found myself trying to come up with a new vegetable side for Southeast Asian entrees such as Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken and Coconut Chicken Adobo. I'm used to steaming or just stir-frying bok choy with a bit of soy sauce or fish sauce, but decided earlier this week to make a fragrant coconut-y version with coconut milk and toasted coconut flakes. It came out so well the first time I made a few other adjustments such as adding sesame oil and sesame seeds.Read More

Washington - After a hard day of campaigning Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin likes to curl up at home, take a hot bath and play with her pussy.
"Its so soft and cuddly, I like to pet it, its sooooooo nice!"
"I like to stroke it under its whiskers, it likes that, yes, yes Johnny, Oh! Johnny! Oh! That's the spot isn't it, Oh! I love you sweetie," Palin gushed.
Sarah's pussy is a two year old Tabbie named Johnny. She says that that Johnny is part of the Palin family, "He has beautiful green eyes, I miss him so when I am out of town."
When senator McCain comes over Johnny likes to use the presidential candidate as a scratching post.
After five years in the Hanoi Hilton McCain doesn't even flinch.

I've got two cards to share today! I feel like I've been extra crafty the past few days!!! I've decorated some wooden letters for a friend who is leaving, painted my plaster Halloween house from Michaels and have made a few cards. Phew, wish I was this motivated more often!
This first card is based of the Freshly Made Sketch
I flipped it for a vertical card. The pattern paper was a scrap on my desk so I just used it as my color scheme. The cardstock and stamp are from Recollections and stamped in VersaFine. The pattern paper is from Stampin' Up. Added some black embellishments and sponged the edges with Daffodil Delight (Stampin' Up) to give them some definition.
I will also add this card to Simon Says StampWednesday challenge.
Now on to card number two. This card will be added to the Simon says stamp Monday challenge. The challenge was go bold! So with that in mind I used a recently purchased stencil that I think is very pretty! Used some bright gold Modeling Cream and it turned out to like a little yellow with the flash, but I thought the two items combined made for a bold background. Usually I don't use gold(I prefer silver any day) and boy is this a vivid gold! I didn't want to cover to much up so I went with black embossing a larger sentiment on vellum and called it a day.
Recollections- cardstock and embossing powder
Viva- modeling cream
Hero Arts- stencil and sentiment
Etc.- VersaMark ink and Queen & Co bling
As always thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Global warming refers to the gradual increase in the average temperature of world atmosphere. This increase is of 0.6 centigrade every year. Global warming has become a serious problem for the life of living beings therefore concrete steps are required to address the problem effectively.
There are various causes of global warming; some of them are given as:
Global warming is caused by the pollution. Due to the pollution the concentration of greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and water vapors increases which causes the green house effect.
Global warming is also caused by the deforestation (cutting of forests at a very large scale). Forests are the only source of converting CO2 into oxygen and we are continuously cutting the forests due to which CO2 is increasing while oxygen is decreasing. There is no strict rule to protect the forests due to which forests are disappearing from the map of the world.
Another important cause of global warming is the international disharmony among the countries, scientists and people. The broad example of international disharmony is the Koyto conference, which was held in 1997 in which it was decided that each country should reduce the consumption of CO2 till 2012. United States refused to sign the pact because it was the biggest producer of CO2 in the world.
Most of the developed countries in the world are doing such activities which promote the global warming. So it is very difficult to stop those countries from violating the rules. Similarly there are big business executives, which are so influential that they can change the rules and regulations of the emission of CO2.
Global warming has very serious effects. These are classified into two categories i.e. primary effects and secondary effects. In primary effects the temperature of earth will rise by 3 to 4 centigrade till 2100 and sea level will rise by 25 meters.
Secondary effects are caused due to the primary effects. When temperature rises the glaciers start to melt, due to which sea level rises and cause the secondary effects. Secondary effects consists of tornados, typhoons, cyclones, floods, draughts and change in the period of season i.e. summer will be long and winter will be short.
Global warming can not be stopped but steps can be taken to reduce it. Some of important steps or suggestions are given below.
Since pollution is caused by the power stations, factories, burning of fossil fuel, transport, and house hold use of oil. All these consumptions can be reduced to the minimum level by following steps:
Introducing new means of transportation such as electric cars and trains
Electricity should be produced from wind, water and solar energy
Household should use electricity instead of oil or gas
Steps should be taken to by the government to protect the trees by imposing bans on the cutting of trees.
There should be international harmony among the people, scientists and countries over the issue. Developed countries have to leave the habit of violating the rules and regulations.
Although global warming is a serious problem for us and for our generation but it can be solved by adopting the above mentioned suggestions. In this way global warming can be reduced to the large extent other wise our generation will be in great trouble.

Holocaust denial and distortion
Holocaust denial, libels and distortion
Holocaust denial and distortion
Holocaust desecration, denial, and abuse, have all been components of Palestinian Authority ideology. Palestinians from both Fatah and Hamas have accused Israel of burning Palestinians in ovens, and alternatively have accused Zionists of committing the Holocaust against Jews for political, financial or social gain. A PA TV children's broadcast taught that Israel burned Palestinians in ovens, and at an exhibit in Gaza children put dolls, representing Palestinian children, in a model oven adorned with a Star of David and a swastika. A PA daily wrote: "The exhibit includes a large oven and inside it small [Palestinian] children are being burned; the picture speaks for itself," as if the exhibit was documenting something true. [
, March 20, 2008] The event was sponsored by the Palestinian "National Committee for Defense of Children from the Holocaust."
A senior Palestinian academic taught adults on PA TV: "There was no Dachau, no Auschwitz; these were disinfecting sites." A Hamas TV documentary explained that it was Jewish leaders who planned the Holocaust, in order to eliminate Jews who were "disabled and handicapped".
A crossword puzzle clue in the official PA daily identified "Yad Vashem" (Israel's Holocaust memorial) as a "Center for the Holocaust and Lies." The same PA daily has published many articles denying the Holocaust, including one that termed the Holocaust a "hen laying golden eggs."
Schoolbooks produced by the Palestinian Ministry of Education teach the history of World War II in great detail except for the history of the Holocaust, which is totally ignored. One history book goes so far as to teach that Nazism was a racist ideology and that there were trials of Nazi war criminals, but it leaves out that Jews were the target of the racism, and the crimes for which the Nazis were on trial.
Palestinian education erases the actual Holocaust from history and usurps the word "Holocaust" or its own wide range of malicious libels.
This video depicts a PA TV children's play teaching that Israel burned Palestinians in ovens.
"They [Israel] are the ones who did the Holocaust,
their knife cuts to the length and the width of our flesh...
They opened ovens for us, to bake human beings.
They destroyed the villages and burnt the cities.
And when an oven stops burning, they light a hundred [more] ovens.
Their hands are covered with the blood of our children."
[PA TV (Fatah), March 25, 2004]
In addition, admiration of Hitler continues to be a component of the PA world. A PA funded children's publication published an essay written by a teenage girl admiring Hitler, who told the Palestinian girl in her dream: "I killed them [the Jews] so you would all know
that they are a nation which spreads destruction all over the world." This essay published in 2011, yet in spite of broad international condemnation following PMW's exposure, it was not removed from the Palestinian educational website Zayzafuna, when we last checked in Oct. 2013.
Since 2012, there have been a number of statements by the PA or PLO officials acknowledging the Holocaust. This has not yet been incorporated into PA formal education.

Following his speech, Trump signed the waiver to delay the transfer of the embassy, and apparently will continue to do so until preparations for the transfer have been completed.

Netanyahu employs "hellish plan" to "blackmail" the world with pictures from the Holocaust in order to justify describing Palestinian "fighter prisoners" as "terrorists"
Source: Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Apr. 25, 2017
Excerpt of an op-ed by Muwaffaq Matar, regular columnist for the official PA daily
"[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is taking advantage of the world's preoccupation with the war on terror and is attempting to pass his hellish plan to crush the Palestinian cause. This is while in his head is the wicked thought that the world does not distinguish between a terrorist criminal and the last of the freedom fighters, and that the world will submit to his blackmail every time he presents pictures from the Jewish Holocaust and the sword of Antisemitism in order to justify the description of the Palestinian fighter prisoners fighting for freedom as terrorists."
In a governmental meeting on April 23, 2017, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "The Palestinian Authority needs to stop funding the terrorists sitting in prison and stop funding the families of terrorists who were killed while committing their crimes. This is a simple and clear test of the Palestinians' desire for peace. You cannot be in favor of peace with Israel, and at the same time glorify and fund the murderers of Israelis and the murderers of other innocents." The statement came after Netanyahu, in an interview with Fox News on April 21, 2017, called on the PA to "stop paying terrorists."

PA daily prints op-ed comparing Trump to Hitler, Zionists to Nazis

"Trump's first days, 'the alternative facts'"
Op-ed by Ayman Al-Sayyad, first published on the Egyptian news website Shorouk
"It could be that [US President Donald] Trump does not know the meaning of the word eugenics, and I do not think he has read [the writings of Francis] Galton (a pioneer in eugenics, wrote many books in the 19th century CE –Ed.), as people like him do not read at all. However, in all his positions regarding the other, immigrants, or women, it seems that he is faithful to the same destructive principles that have in the past led racists such as Hitler to almost destroy the world…
History shows us that racist ideas that espouse the superiority of one race over another, as Hitler believed, led to a world war whose victims numbered more than 60 million, and I repeat – 60 million…
Anyone who does not know what discrimination on the basis of origin or identity is can review [Trump's] decision to ban [the entry of] 'all' citizens of the seven states the decision included, and I repeat 'all citizens,' not the terrorists or the extremists among them, and not even those about whom there are security concerns… Why? Because racists are illogical and they put all the rest, and I repeat – 'all the rest,' in one category. The Nazis who believed in the superiority of the Aryan race acted in this way, and the Zionists act this way when they think that they are 'Allah's chosen people.'"

Op-ed by Dr. Oudeh Masharqah
"Between Nov. 2 (i.e., the date of the Balfour Declaration) and [Nov.] 29 (i.e., the date of the UN partition resolution), the Palestinian people have experienced events and memories that are like a lump in the throat and cause it to deeply feel the historical injustice that [Britain] itself perpetrated against an injured people… During my previous official work I met with then British Consul General [to Jerusalem] Sir Vincent Fean , who speaks fluent Arabic. During the introductory conversation between us, I asked him: 'When will Britain acknowledge its crime and the historical injustice that it perpetrated against our Palestinian people?' I continued: 'Germany has clearly expressed that it feels this way towards the Jews for reasons related to what is called the "Holocaust" and [Adolf] Hitler's acts. As a result of these feelings, Germany has expressed great sympathy for the occupation state and has given and still gives it comprehensive aid, which includes for instance giving a very advanced German submarine to Israel, and much additional aid, along with providing broad political support..."

"[Former British Foreign Secretary Arthur] Balfour was himself an Antisemite, and he often attacked the Jews who immigrated to Britain during his term as prime minister from 1903-1905 (sic., 1902- 1905), and he said that they are not assimilating among the residents, and issued laws that limited the Jewish immigration (Aliens Act) [parentheses in source]. He reasoned that the Jews, as an organic group, could not solve their problem within the European cultural structure, in other words, through assimilation in the [European] societies (sic ., Balfour was quoted as saying Jews could either assimilate in Europe or establish a state in Palestine; see note below). The solution would only be possible outside of the cultural structure, in other words, through colonialism…
The difference between [Adolf] Hitler and Balfour in this field was that Balfour had colonies, among them Palestine, and he sent the Jews there in order to get rid of them. Hitler did not have colonies, and therefore he got rid of them through extermination. However, the true victims of both Balfour and Hitler were the Palestinians and the Arabs, and we are still paying the price after 100 years."

PLO official: Balfour Declaration "constituted the basis for all of the injustices... committed against the Palestinian people, as well as the Palestinian holocaust that has been continuing for the past 100 years"
Source: Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Nov. 1, 2016
Headline: "National condemnation of the Balfour Promise, and the [PLO] Department for Refugee Affairs prepares to launch a campaign against the ominous promise"
"PLO Executive Committee member and Director of the [PLO] Department for Refugee Affairs Tayseer Khaled called on all Palestinians of all political and ideological affiliations in the Palestinian Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel), the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the refugee camps, and the countries of the exile and the diaspora to unite around the national campaign denouncing the colonialist Balfour Promise (i.e., Declaration).
This is for the approaching 100th anniversary of this promise, which constituted the basis for all of the injustices that the Zionist movement and the State of Israel committed against the Palestinian people, as well as the Palestinian holocaust that has been continuing for the past 100 years before the eyes and ears of the international community."
The Balfour Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Baron Rothschild stating that "His Majesty's government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" and is seen as the basis for later international commitments to establish the State of Israel.

Issa Salman:
"It was the only village in southern west Jerusalem that was divided as a result of the 1949 Rhodes Agreement (sic., apparently referring to the Lausanne Conference of 1949, see below), under an apartheid regime, in other words the Jews preceded others [in this regard], and South Africa learned from them, and the Nazis learned from them."

Official PA TV host:
"In 1962, see the clear signs of apartheid [i.e., the pre-1967 border between Israel and Jordan]."
The Lausanne Conference of 1949 was convened by the UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP) in Lausanne, Switzerland April 27 – Sept. 12, 1949. It was attended by representatives of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria and the Arab Higher Committee and refugee delegations, representing Arab refugees from Israel. Its purpose was to resolve disputes arising from the 1948 war between Israel and its neighboring Arab countries.

Excerpt of op-ed by Yahya Rabah, columnist for the official PA daily and a member of the Fatah Leadership Committee in Gaza
"[Israeli] Deputy Chief of General Staff and Major General Yair Golan is not a passing figure in Israel, and is not from the ranks of the Israeli opposition. He is from the heart of the Israeli security and military services, and yet he recently expressed views that greatly angered Netanyahu and many members of his government who are members of the extremist and racist hawks. He said that the behavior of the Israeli army's soldiers against the Palestinians is not less despicable than the Nazi actions and the Nazi Holocausts (sic.) against the Jews (sic., he actually said that we must be careful not to act like the Nazis and uproot any signs of intolerance and violence)."
Yair Golan's speech on May 4, 2016:
"The Holocaust, as I see it, must enable us to deeply reflect on the nature of man. It must bring us to deeply reflect on the responsibility of leadership and the nature of society, and it must enable us to think fundamentally about how we, here and now, are conducting ourselves toward orphans, widows and their like. Indeed, there is nothing easier than to simply hate the other, there is nothing easier than to provoke fears and strike terror; there is nothing easier than barbaric behavior, moral corruption and hypocrisy. On Holocaust Remembrance day, it is appropriate to discuss our abilities to extricate from among us signs of intolerance and violence, signs that we're heading towards self-destruction and down the road to moral depravity. In fact, Holocaust Remembrance Day is an opportunity for self-examination. If Yom Kippur is a day for personal self-reflection, then it is appropriate, and even absolutely necessary, that Holocaust Remembrance Day, will also be a day of national self-examination, and in

"The Palestinian media monitoring by Israel distorts Palestinian statements and articles, takes them out of context, and markets them mainly to the American government as Palestinian incitement. One day [years ago], President Mahmoud Abbas summoned me to his office when he was still secretary of the [PLO] Executive Committee, and told me that Israel is using the [issue of] incitement against us... I said: There is an Israeli department for monitoring Palestinian media and statements that distorts articles, takes them out of context, and spreads them among the Americans as though they [the articles] are inciting and Antisemitic. They went as far as taking advantage of a misprint in a

This 'grave' incident reached news agencies and radio stations, and Yasser Arafat summoned me to explain the circumstances of this great uproar. I explained to him the truth of the matter, and after an investigation it turned out that it was an unintentional misprint, as the original word was 'heroism."

The university is Catholic, and I do not understand why it is carrying out research on the Holocaust. In addition, this Holocaust occurred 70 years ago or more, while a holocaust is being perpetrated daily by a terrorist, criminal government (i.e., Israeli government) of settlers against the Palestinians in their occupied land, but no research on that is being carried out at Georgetown University. The Nazi Holocaust is ancient history, and the Palestinian holocaust is daily news, and Israel's supporters will not succeed in calling attention to history that will never return in order to make people forget what the occupation state is perpetrating today."

PA daily op-ed claims Zionists collaborated with Nazis, particularly Eichmann
Source: Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Oct. 21, 2015
: "The Mufti and the Rabbi"
Op-ed by Hafez Al-Barghouti, regular columnist for the official PA daily
"Even those closest to Netanyahu do not believe his nonsense, as he keeps retelling the familiar fable of the wolf and the lamb, ignoring the Zionist collaboration with the Nazis, especially with arch-murderer [Adolf] Eichmann (German Nazi lieutenant colonel who organized the mass-deportations of Jews to concentration camps during the Holocaust –Ed.), who played a main role in the expulsion of Jews from Hungary, Austria and Germany to Palestine, on condition that they were young and trained in weapons, and supervised their training there, while the leaders of Zionism allowed him to send the elderly to the concentration camps. Eichmann visited Palestine in 1937, met with Jewish leaders and considered himself a Zionist like them. [From Palestine] he continued to Egypt, but Britain banished him. The Mufti did not send anyone to the Holocaust and never spoke of the annihilation, which had begun years before he met with Hitler, and this is confirmed by historic evidence. What Hitler told the Mufti is that he admired the Palestinian people because it had fought against the British empire on its own, without anyone's support. Today, we still resist the occupation which is supported by the US, without anyone's support.

The Message of Doctor Who Video
Doctor Who, with all its stellar highs and cringeworthy lows, is my favourite TV show. As we head towards the beginning of the 10th season of the show this weekend, a made this video to renew my excitement. In the video I attempt to demonstrate just how pervasively recurring the show's themes of perseverence and optimism are. It's my belief that if you boiled the whole thing down, all it's action and style and adventures and monsters, those are the key elements you'd have: perseverence and optimism. Part video essay and part salivating fan montage, here's the video:
Like many things in life, if I had known how much time and effort it would take to make this video I probably wouldn't have done it, but I'm glad I did.

Konikoff Family Dentistry is proud to offer laser dentistry services to patients in Chesapeake and the surrounding areas. Laser dentistry has revolutionized the dental field, with applications in a wide range of procedures. As the premier Chesapeake laser dentist we welcome you to receive the gentle and precise care offered by this remarkable technology.
Laser dentistry can treat many issues, from tooth decay and gum disease to the removal of oral lesions and biopsies. Using very narrow, intense beams of light a laser can remove diseased and damaged tissues in the mouth with the utmost precision. The laser's high-energy light beam also promotes clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels during surgical procedures to minimize post-operative bleeding. Additionally, treatment performed with dental lasers reduces the risk of bacterial infection, as the beam sterilizes the area being worked on. In cases where dental lasers are used to remove tooth decay, the precision they offer enables the preservation of the maximum amount of healthy tooth structure, more than conventional approaches to care. One of the greatest benefits of laser dentistry is that it minimizes pain and discomfort, and often makes dental anesthesia unnecessary. As used by our Chesapeake laser dentist, a laser usually requires no direct contact to the tooth or tissue and does not produce any uncomfortable pressure or vibration.
In our conveniently located Chesapeake dental office, Konikoff Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of leading-edge dental services for you and your loved ones. We pride ourselves in establishing trusting relationships with our patients and for offering the best possible care. Whether your visit is for a dental checkup and thorough cleaning, a cosmetic smile makeover, replacing missing teeth or a dental emergency, at Konikoff Family Dentistry you'll be in the best of hands. Call our office today for more information on our dental services, or to schedule an appointment with a Chesapeake laser dentist.

Russell Taylor's (Will Dolores Come to Tea?, 2010, etc.) latest collection of short stories explores mourning, love, loss and the struggle for meaningful connection.
Prolific writer Russell Taylor provides a careful, articulate study of intimate, desolate and occasionally terrifying human experiences. "The Contract" retells, in prose, Pushkin's classic Russian poem "Eugene Onegin" from the perspectives of Onegin's spurned lover, Tatiana, and her eventual husband, Prince Nicolaevich. The central characters in "Les Amants," "Charlotte" and "Belated" are widows anguished by grief and anxious to rekindle a human bond, with very different results. Depression and madness related to the struggle to comprehend existence feature vividly in "The Meaning," "Supporting Roles" and "The Inquest," among others, with outcomes similarly varied and often unexpected. The desire for connection is explored in "Carter," in which a woman endeavors to bond with her autistic son. A glimmer of hope can be seen in "The Life She Chose," in which a young woman suddenly finds herself with personal and financial freedom. Equally auspiciously, the married couple in "Passed Over in Silence" finds an extremely unconventional yet mutually rewarding solution to their sexless relationship. Nature is a powerful presence in many of the stories, which are often imbued with a sense of spirituality and healing. Themes are revisited, though in these elegiac stories, there's no feeling of repetition. Many readers will be mesmerized by the haunting, poetic writing. However, some may find themselves dispirited due to the few respites from melancholy, or they may struggle with Russell Taylor's inclusion of different languages, as in "Belated," where significant passages are in French. However, careful readers will savor this exceptional collection of tales, and those who've never read Russell Taylor might next seek out the rest of her considerable body of work.
Pensive and luminous despite its dolor, a resonant collection that deftly contemplates the existential.

NOTE: These are not designed for either pocket carry, please specify when you order right or left pocket.
|This holster is something that I've been working out the details on for some time now. I use specific shark hides that have the top surface of denticles which keep the holster from being removed from the pocket. If you've tried other holsters that use rubber or some other material to keep the holster in the pocket you really need to try out the SHARKBITE™.
All holsters are available for either left and right pocket.
If you would like to have one of these made for something larger than the standard small guns please contact me. Keep in mind though if the gun doesn't fit well in your pocket without a holster it's unlikely that adding more material is going to help. In other words this holster isn't going to make a gun that is too big for pocket carry any smaller.
NOTE: Additional Exotics are not included in the base pricing, they are listed on the drop down menu with prices. The bottom brown panel of shark is included in the price.

Major institutions showcasing street art on authorized walls miss a key aspect of the discipline: the guerrilla approach to art making. Butterflies pinned in a pristine display case don't look as good as in the open air. Taking stock of the stencil crew's recent entry to the mainstream, the Street Museum of Art presents street art in its natural environment.
The self-proclaimed "guerrilla curators" select and provide extensive labels for pieces within the urban fabric, devising a street art tour whose duration, they say, is "entirely reliant on external forces and the reaction of the public."
After a first outing in Brooklyn, the SMoA has now turned its attention to the British capital. Their newly-launched "Beyond Banksy: Not Another Gift Shop" in Shoreditch gathers works by C215, Christiaan Nagel, Eine, Mobstr, Pablo Delgado, Phlegm, Roa, Run, Skewville, Space Invader, Stik and Swoon. Varied, yet compact and easy to navigate, SMoA's exhibition carves a new route through an area increasingly taken over by mass tourism and corporate entertainment. It's also yet another demonstration that the tongue-in-cheek art of Britain's most elusive street artist is only the tip of the iceberg.

Most aces by female players in the Australian Open Tennis
by MairaS on December 18, 2010
in Grand-Slam: Australian Open
There are very few female tennis players who have an aggressive playing style. If you see a three set game of women playing tennis, you will probably notice a rather steady game with shots being played for a longer while which means there's less chance that any ace will take place. Similarly, the serve of mostly female players is not very aggressive, which leads to fewer aces during a match.
However, things start to change when it comes to the famous USA female tennis player Williams sisters who enthrall the opponents with their steaming fast serves and aces. USA tennis players Venus and Serena Williams are the leading ace scorers in the Australian Open by far. Venus Williams also holds the record of most aces in a match at Wimbledon. In addition to these two names, famous female tennis player Jennifer Capriati is also the leading ace scorer of Australian Open. The last name in this list is the gorgeous and hottest female tennis player Gabriela Sabatini who, with her strong play style, was able to serve numerous aces in the Australian Open.
As the overall game pace has slowed down due to player preference at playing from the baseline, the chances of ace have lowered. The game is relatively slower for women with lots of grunting presently.

So what is new with Davoc and Anne.
For starters Davoc is now a musician who plays his tin whistle up at the Cliffs of Moher for all the visitors there. He runs a session of music in Miltown Malbay every Wednesday night at which up to fifteen fine musicians and singers participate.
Anne has formed a Song Circle which meets every couple of weeks and is proving to be a great evening of song and good fun. We gather every second Thursday at the OAC house on the Flag Road in Miltown Malbay. We put the kettle on and with cups of tea to hand we go round the circle singing. The only rule we have is that there are no rules! Any song, hymn, sean-nos song, blues, pop, jazz, opera, ballad, folk, poem, what ever you want to sing or say is just fine by us! On any given night we could do up to thirty songs and it is the nicest way to pass an evening, calming, quiet, and sometimes full of laughter. Let the music keep your spirits high. Check it out here…..
Davoc's debut album The Humours of Ennistymon will shortly be released on his own label. You can read about this under Stories……….
Ireland Country Antiques home of Irish Celt. On eBay, we endeavour to list items of interest including primary source documents, anything relating to recent Irish History and Irish Life, items of folk art, memorabilia and collectables. Our mission is to awaken memories from another era!
Watch Anne & Davoc chat about using eBay >>
We wallow in Irish made items from another era – a real flavour of the past – something to remind all the Irish exiles, emigrants, wanderers and travellers of the old home sod. We love to include in our photographs and descriptions, snippets of Irish history, to mull over.
Ireland must be the only country in the world that has a population of five million, but over forty million people boast to the world that they are Irish. Ye are the great and grand people we want to address and send out pieces to, of the old Ireland your ancestors left behind.
In 1998 we first encountered eBay and it was very quaint! Since then we have photographed, measured, described, packed, parcelled and shipped thousands of items to the four corners of the globe.

And a good time was had by all. What a wonderful weekend!!! A little rain on Saturday couldn't dampen our spirits and the people attending our event could not have been kinder. They could say nothing ... they could look at the art and leave and say nothing ... but they don't. Over and over again we heard, "I never knew this little piece of paradise was down this road" ... "such a unique and talented group of artists" ... "I love your barn" ... "what an intimate setting for an art sale" ... "love the cookies." I was, and still am, overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness.
It takes a lot of hands and willing hearts to put together something as special as the GreyBird Barn Studio Sale. This was our 7th year ... so we've been to this rodeo before ... and we are getting better and better at managing this event. The barn sale doesn't magically happen when the doors open on Saturday morning. A lot of thought and effort and energy is expended prior ... including a work day where everyone shows up to help me get my property ready for prime time. This includes weed eating ... raking ... stacking wood ... knocking spider webs out of the rafters of the barn ... trimming the hedge ... cutting up a fallen limb from the apple tree ... and other tasks too numerous to mention.
Here we are, taking a little break from yard work.
left to right: Loran Scruggs giving Ruby a little attention ... Diane Haddon holding Peaches ... Lynn Anju ... Wendy Jarvis ... Linda Jarvis (yes, they are sisters) ... and I am taking the photo ... Shane Miller.
Peaches looking a little worried on set up day.
Linda Jarvis...
Diane Haddon...
Shane Miller...
Lynn Anju...
Loran Scruggs...all ready for prime time.
This is Rick, Lynn Anju's husband. He was our super hero of the weekend...bless his heart. Before the weekend ever started, Rick came and helped me stack firewood for a day ... and he set up and picked up all our signage on the highway ... and parked cars for 2 days (in the rain on Saturday) ... all without any complaints. A HUGE 'thank you' to Rick for all his help and generosity.
It's a good sign at the end of a big show when you are already talking about next year and ways to make our event even better. So ... we'll see you in October 2017 ... if not before.
