impact evaluations and null results: time to rethink?
I was at the Right to Information and Transparency in the Digital Age conference at CDDRL earlier this week. The final wrap up session "What does this all amount to? Assessing the impact of transparency", presented three rigorous impact evaluations conducted by political scientists. With some interesting nuances, all three papers basically found the information initiatives they evaluated had little to no impact.
Dan Posner of UCLA said the null findings had prompted his team to return to their priors, that better information leads to more active citizenship. Given the null result, they backed up and ask what the conditions actually were under which it might be reasonable to expect that better information might actually lead to greater demand from citizens for accountability.
This is absolutely the right question, and the direction the field should go in.
In assessing the impact of interventions in the field of political development and governance, the devil resides squarely in the details. This is (one reason) why so many rigorous studies in this field find null results.
The way forward is to link very careful and much more specific thinking about the conditions under which we should expect interventions to work, together with our rigorous evaluations of whether they actually work or not. Specific criteria used for assessing likelihood of success can be very helpful for creating benchmarks against which to assess impact. It also may be an important way to think about aggregating up very micro-level research into a broader set of findings about the effectiveness of various forms of intervention.
An article called "Assessing Advocacy" in the most recent edition of the SSIR takes up this question with respect to evaluating advocacy work. The authors provide a framework for evaluating the prospective success of advocacy campaigns that has 9 factors, or conditions, for success. Perhaps further iterations of such a framework might include ways to assess the relative weight of each factor in a given advocacy campaign, or the relative (as opposed to simply the absolute) strength of the campaign on a given factor versus opposing forces.

How to Set $WAGLOBAL_Root_URL
I want to configure PowerStore so that users navigate to MyDomain.com/store
How should I set the paths for $WAGLOBAL_Root_URL and $WAGLOBAL_localRoot
I want to configure PowerStore so that users navigate to MyDomain.com/store
How should I set the paths for $WAGLOBAL_Root_URL and $WAGLOBAL_localRoot
$WAGLOBAL_Root_URL = "http://MyDomain.com/store/" ;
$WAGLOBAL_localRoot = "/store/";
$WAGLOBAL_remoteRoot = "/store/";
This would be a good example to add to the manual. Saves a lot of experimentation.
I've done that and I'm still getting HTTP 500 Error
Most likely causes:
•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.
I have put all the modules and folders in the respective /store directory.
What else may I have over looked?
Agreed, it would be great to put that information in the Getting Started, somewhere near the top, since I'm assuming most people already have a working site and it seems logical to lay it out that way.
Are you testing locally?
This is a generic error message that your webserver is returning. To determine what the problem is a more meaningful error message will be needed. To enable the more advanced error messaging in IIS 7 for Vista you will need to do the following:
1) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools
2) Open the IIS control panel and open the ASP option
3) At the top of the ASP control area select Display: Friendly Names
4) Now go down to the Compilation area and expand Debugging Properties
5) In debugging properties make sure to set Enable Client -side Debugging, Enable Server -side debugging, and Send Errors to Browser to TRUE. Make sure to click the Apply on the right side of the page.
6) After setting the debugging you must go back to the IIS control panel and using the controls on the right side restart the server.
This will enable debugging info to display when an error occurs. This should be turned on while testing and should not be left enabled for a live server.
I am testing directly on the Windows 2003 Server. It is in my building.
You will need to enable the debugging information in the IIS Server as outlined previously to return the error message for debugging.
I'm using Server 2003 and my tabs don't look anything like you describe.
Could you please go over the configuration for Server 2003
Thanks In Advance
I dont have a Windows Server 2003 box for reference. What version of IIS is installed? this is more important than the OS version,the IIS interface is the same regardless of OS.
Do you have the Show Friendly HTTP errors setting turned on in IE?
In IE go to Tool -> Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab un check the option to "Display Friendly HTTP Error Messages"
Windows Server 2003 comes with iis 6
I checked and I do have Show Friendly HTTP errors enabled in my browser.

You may also want to read our articles covering the best life insurance and no physical exam required life insurance.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American as of 2012, nearly 17.6 million adults and 6.6 million children had been diagnosed with hay fever. Worldwide, it is believed that allergic rhinitis (AKA hay fever) affects somewhere between 10-30 percent of the population.
Which is why it comes as no surprise that we'll often get calls from folks who are using Nasacort AQ asking about whether or not its use will affect their life insurance application.
About Nasacort AQ:
Nasacort AQ (Triamcinolone) is a prescription medication that is used to prevent the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Typical symptoms treated by Nasacort AQ include sneezing, itching and runny nose caused by seasonal allergies and/or hay fever.
About Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis):
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is defined as inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the environment. Signs and symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and may also include swelling around the eyes as well.
Will Nasacort AQ affect my life insurance application?
As a general rule of thumb, you're typically going to find that because Nasacort AQ is simply used to treat hay fever which is not considered a "life threatening" condition, its use will not play a role in the outcome of your life insurance application.
Or put another way, having a prescription for Nasacort AQ will not prevent you from being able to qualify for the best possible life insurance rate out there, a Preferred Plus!
So if using Nasacort AQ isn't going to affect my life insurance application, what will?
There are a lot of factors that will be used to determine your eligibility for life insurance and what price you will end up having to pay for your coverage once approved. Now the easiest way to learn more about what interests an insurance company during the application process is to simply look at the questions that they are asking.
Common life insurance application questions which will be used to determine eligibility and price:
- How old are you?
- What is your current height and weight?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with any pre-existing medical conditions?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, stroke or diabetes?
- Have any of your immediate family members (mother, father, brother or sister) ever been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, stroke or diabetes?
- Are you taking any additional prescription medications other than Nasacort AQ?
- In the past 12 months have you used any tobacco or nicotine products?
- In the past 12 months have you used any marijuana products?
- Do you have any issues with your driving record, such as a suspended license, multiple moving violations, or DUI?
- In the next 2 years do you have any set plans to travel outside of the United States? Insurance companies are concerned about those traveling to what might be considered a dangerous location.
- In the past 2 years have you filed for or declared bankruptcy? Some insurance companies simply won't insure anyone for a traditional term or whole life insurance policy if they have. Don't worry, there are plenty of companies that will, we just need to rule out those that won't if you have filed for bankruptcy.
- Do you actively participate in any dangerous hobbies or activities such as hang gliding, bungee jumping or sky diving?
- Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor?
- Are you currently working now?
- In the past 12 months have you applied for or received any form of disability benefits?
As you can see there are a lot of potential factors that may or may not influence the outcome of your life insurance application. Additionally, since each insurance company will have its own set of underwriting guidelines, it's quite possible that what might be a factor with one insurance company simply won't be considered by another!
This is why…
It's so important to work with a life insurance brokerage like TermLife2Go which has established relationships with dozens of different life insurance companies so that when you're deciding which life insurance company is going to offer you the best deal, you don't have to settle on just one or two different options!
So what are you waiting for? Give us a call today and see what we can do for you!
Ok so if you ready to start "shopping" your options and don't want to have to wait for an email to arrive with your quotes or speak with an agent for 20 minutes, just click on our Life Insurance Quotes and get access to your quotes instantly!
And since we still have your attention…
It's fair to say that most people who decide to purchase a life insurance policy do so that they can protect their loved one's financial future in the event of their death.
But what happens if you get sick but don't die?
Is your family's financial future still protected? Probably not. Which is why we would encourage you to also take a look at the following articles which will discuss some other "types" of life insurance policies that can not only protect your family's financial future, they could also significantly help our your own as well.
- Best Long Term Care Life Insurance,
- Best Private Short Term Disability Insurance Companies,
- And the Best Disability Insurance Companies.

Wet Studio RevampFriday, July 31st, 2009
Hi all,
Over the past 6 months or so I have been in the process of letting go of clutter and trying to set up my workspaces to streamline my efficiency (I need all the help I can get!). To that end, I have been reworking my wet studio space which worked okay for me, but was not working at all for my surface design work group, the Free Motions. I still have tons of stuff that needs to go, but things are pretty well laid out.
Problems in the studio involved disorganization of supplies, my metalworking supplies taking too much room, no central/bare space to put the supplies we were using; we had to put them on our work tables which gets in the way of work space, 3 tables instead of four and clutter in the sink taking up one half of the double utility sink, also no good solution for storing thermofax screens.
I have been decluttering my brains out, packing up my metalworking stuff-except for things I use to etch copper, and generally getting rid of TONS of junk. Here's the new layout:
All my metalworking equipment is out of the way in those bins!
You can see just the tip of the fourth table here.
We still need to deal with lighting. The light down here is really terrible (it is a basement), but all in all, I am pretty pleased.
My pond was looking pretty good, too. Here's a picture!

text: Each visit to Chattanooga my husband and I engage in its "urban exploration." Looking back over the years, we continue to be amazed that Chattanooga, once called "the dirtiest city in America," is today the fourth largest tourism market in Tennessee and has welcomed big companies like Amazon and Volkswagen to locate their facilities there. Not too many years ago, living downtown was unheard of but today it is a most desirable place to live. This photo was taken during a girls' trip last October and as I walked across the glass bridge I could not help but notice the new condominiums and apartments which were not there a few years ago.

Solitude and Glint
Photographer: John Benner
Photo by John Benner
Solitude and GlintThe morning is cold, the first cold of fall. I revel in the crispness of the morning despite the biting cold I feel through my gloves. There was only starlight two hours ago when the last westbound rolled by, an uncharacteristic gap in traffic on the BNSF transcon. Amtrak #4, the eastbound Southwest Chief, was barely visible in the predawn twilight spreading in the eastern sky as it sped downhill a half-hour ago. I had checked into a Winslow motel last night in clouded, windy weather after driving nearly 400 miles after work. The wind that had howled most of the night has diminished, leaving cold clear conditions in the very early predawn hours. I awoke early, too early, still several hours before sunrise and decided I'd rather sit under the night sky amidst the sage, Piñon and Juniper watching trains and the coming of the day than more of the motel. I packed my gear and navigated the truck toward my objective here on the high plains of the Colorado Plateau to the west of Winslow.
After setting up the tripod and camera, I study the Hopi Buttes to the north and east across the Little Colorado River valley and the Painted Desert, their dark, distinctive volcanic forms looming against the crimson predawn sky streaked with golden flares of clouds receding in the distance. A faint momentary sound intrudes on the stillness and solitude, a train? or just a rumble from I-40, a couple of miles to the south? I think this may be the most beautiful hour of the day, although I find it a difficult choice as much depends on the season and location here in the southwest. During the monsoonal months of July and August, the finest hour begins with sundown after the terrible afternoon heat. Now, in the cold of early fall at an elevation of nearly 6000 ft, I'll take the other end of the day, that hour beginning with the sunrise.
A dim headlight in the distance to the east confirms the approach of a train, inspecting it through the perspective of a 560mm lens reveals at first a single orb of light and later, after the head-end rounds a slight curve out west of Canyon Diablo, the recognizable familiar triangular pattern of a headlight with ditch lights. The train is still very distant, at least 5 miles. I watch its progress and consider the horizon in the area where the sun will rise. Will the timing on this work, or will it be yet another attempt missed by just moments? It will, I decide, at least be close. I study the train's progress as it navigates the sags and rises as it follows its nap-of-the-earth route over the undulating high desert plains it has been traversing since it left Winslow. The sound is now much louder and recognizable as GE motors as the train works westbound climbing the Arizona Divide. The train has already climbed over 1000 feet from Winslow, some 30 miles distant. It becomes apparent that the seemingly slow moving train in the vastness of the high desert is actually making good speed as it works west and has become recognizable as a Z train of truck trailers on spine cars.
With the train now a little more than a half mile away, I start to worry that it will surely beat the sun. Glancing at my watch I recall my sunrise calculations, which suggested that the sun should rise right now. Suddenly a fiery orange fringe appears on the horizon in the expected location. I now attempt to ignore the suns brilliant appearance and try to make sense of the rapidly changing exposure in the extreme clarity of the desert light while shooting nearly directly into the blinding sun. No more time: ISO 160, 1/400 sec at f/16? I release the shutter and walk away with the tripod and watch the three GE's roar past some 50 feet away, my body feeling the vibrations from their 13,200 hp. I wave at the crew in the lead GEVO who remain oblivious to my presence; their attention focused on the track ahead, not the dark shadows where I walk. Dozens of UPS vans and LTL trailers glisten in the sweet morning light as they roll by at speed on the California bound "Z-9". The train quickly disappears to the west as the silence begins to return and the color of the light has already changed, losing much of its warmth. I have hundreds of miles to travel to my next destination, but the morning is off to an auspicious start.

New York City-based avant/experimental metal outfit GNAW - with members/alumni of Khanate, OLD, Enos Slaughter, Ike Yard, Insect Ark, and more -- has exposed another cinematic sample of audio abuse from their impending Cutting Pieces LP, as the record's release through Translation Loss next week creeps in.
GNAW's latest auditory outbreak comes in the form of "Extended Suicide," delivered through an exclusive premiere at No Echo. The pulsating signal leading the track in, caked in speckles of seared flesh cast from the vocal torrent that adjoins it, gives way to one of the most straightforward thundering attacks of the entire Cutting Pieces LP on "Extended Suicide," the band's demented noise metal dynamics soaking in a hotbed of bubbling riffage, harsh whispers, and ultimate demoralization.
GNAW's founding vocalist Alan Dubin was briefly interrogated by No Echo, in which he reveals of the track, "'Extended Suicide' is one of the harsher industrial tracks on the album. We might get flack for the lyrics because they'll be taken the wrong way as pro-suicide which is not quite the intention. The song, to me, is about loneliness -- "imagined suicide"-- procrastinating and being all talk but never getting around to the deed."
Get the full scoop and unload GNAW's "Extended Suicide" at No Echo RIGHT HERE.
Translation Loss will release Cutting Pieces on LP, CD, and digital formats next Friday, October 27th; find preorders HERE. Also hear prior single "Rat" at No Clean Singing HERE, and "Septic" at Decibel RIGHT HERE.
Following their recent performance as part of Nightside Of Eden in Brooklyn, GNAW will terrorize the neighborhood again on October 29th at their official LP release party. Additional shows are to be expected in the weeks ahead. Also watch for new videos from GNAW to see release in the coming weeks surrounding the release of Cutting Pieces.
GNAW Live:
10/29/2017 Saint Vitus Bar - Brooklyn, NY *record release show w/ Couch Slut, Syndromes
GNAW was created by vocalist Alan Dubin following the dissolution of Khanate. Closing a four-year gap since their acclaimed second album, Horrible Chamber,GNAW's Cutting Pieces dredges forth some of the outfit's most unnerving audio assaults yet. In addition to the traditional four-piece rock format and string and wind instruments, GNAW utilizes found sound, homemade instruments, tweaked oscillators, synthesis, and manipulated recordings. Joining returning assassins Alan Dubin (Khanate, OLD), Brian Beatrice, Carter Thornton (Enos Slaughter), Eric Neuser, and Jun Mizumachi (Ike Yard), a recent personnel shift sees the lineup now including Dana Schechter (Insect Ark, ex-Angels Of Light) on lap steel guitar.
Cutting Pieces was written and recorded over the past two years at various studios and locales across NYC, the bulk of the music was written by Thornton, Beatrice, and Dubin with all members creating sound elements and arrangements, the final record mixed by Beatrice and once again mastered by James Plotkin. The graphic and type design for the cover was done by returning French designer Sebastien Hayez. The album employs an extensive arsenal of instrumentation through guitars, bass, drums, voice, lap steel guitar, Chinese cello, Weevil, conga, sawed off Kramer, Drone Thing oscillator, Alto sax, homemade light oscillator, micro cassette recorder, chain link fence, a small child, 2002 Toshiba laptop, voice dictator and space bar, and more. Cutting Pieces also features guest musicians Stefania Alos Pedretti of Italian noise rock act OvO contributing background vocals to the track "Septic," and Swiss saxophone player and sound artist Antoine Chessex (ex-Monno) contributing saxophone and amplifier to "Triptych."

A North Platte woman is facing felony drug charges after police found items consistent with meth use and sales in her home during the service of a search warrant.
According to Investigator John Deal, officers executed a search warrant on a home in the 400 block of East H Street at around 1:10 p.m., on May 15.
Deal said the warrant was obtained due to suspected drug activity at the home involving 32-year-old Marisa Foster.
Officers entered the home and found it to be unoccupied. But, Deal says officers located numerous items consistent with meth use in the home, including, pipes, spoons and syringes.
Also located in the home were plastic baggies with meth residue, unused plastic baggies and a digital scale, along with prescription dextroamphetamine pills.
Deal said it was determined that there was probable cause to arrest Foster for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to deliver, and felony possession of the pills.
On May 17, officers located Foster at a residence in the 500 block of West 11th Street and placed her under arrest.
She was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

Today Jesus is Whispering to YOU. You will never know it until you Stop. Yes, Stop throughout the day and say to the Lord, I want to draw near to you so that you will draw near to me, I want to be able to hear your voice speaking to me. I want to know your presence.
Too often we look for and Anticipate the Extraordinary. SPEAK TO MY HEART LORD
I am reminded of the time when Elijah was hiding in the cave after he killed all the prophets of Baal.
The voice of God came to him and told him to go stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord because the Lord was about to pass by.
He brings us opportunities daily (whispering – speaking) not attentive to his voice HE (passes by). The Lord then sends a powerful wind that shattered the rocks but He was not in it. He then sent an earthquake but He was not in that either. Next came a fire but He was not there either. Then, I love this part, came a gentle (whisper), God spoke to Elijah in a whisper. I think of the many missed opportunities to commune with God because I was looking for something extraordinary to happen when all along He is whispering.
Lord today, help me to be so in tune with You that I hear Your whispers. I don't want to miss anything you have to say me Today.

Battlefield 1 is moving into its last expansion that we know of for the time being. Apocalypse has become available to Battlefield 1 Premium Pass and Revolution owners. Everyone else will be able to buy the expansion on its own starting March 6, 2018. Battlefield 1 Apocalypse is of course available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Contained within it are new weapons, assignments, cosmetics, maps, and a brand new game mode.
Let's start with the basic stuff. New cosmetics you'll be able to unlock include medals, ribbons, codex entries, and dog tags. These are being added in addition to some new assignments you can enjoy. Players will be able to tackle these new Battlefield 1 assignments with plenty of new weapons. First are the Hansa Brandenburg GI and Airco DH10, two new bombers. Next is a new melee weapon, a meat cleaver of all things. There's a new gadget, the AA Rocket Gun (useable by the Assault class). And finally there's the RSC SMG, and a weapon that obliterates enemies with poison gas.
The new game mode being added to Battlefield 1 via Apocalypse is called Air Assault. It will have players fighting high up in the skies. You'll mostly participate in dogfights, but the potential is there to escalate to massive Airship battles. The two new maps that will be used for Air Assault are London Calling and Razor's Edge. There are three other standard multiplayer maps in Apocalypse called River Somme, Caporetto, and Passchendaele.

John Lennon New York City Shirt
It's possibly the most iconic piece of post-Beatles merchandise: John Lennon's New York City ringer-T. And it has an interesting history. Bought from a street vendor for $5, the humble shirt was immortalized when photographer Bob Gruen snapped Lennon wearing it in 1974. Now you can savor Big Apple irony like the legend himself for $18.
Levi's Jeans
There are two things vintage jean collectors look for in an old pair of Levi's. First, the stylized capital E is a dead giveaway the pair is pre-1971. The second is the red line inseam, discontinued after 1973. Sane is a serious denim collector and can walk you through the art of Levi's appraisal ($25-$500).
Vintage Hawaiian Button-Up
Black N Blue has such a vast collection of Western and Hawaiian button-ups, you'll feel like you just walked into Hunter S. Thompson's estate sale. Sourced from the 1960s, this warm-colored specimen is a steal at $42. Perfect for that Pet Sounds recording session look.
Darth "Vadar" Lives
Those 20th Century Fox movie execs really scrimped on copy editors. This 1977 studio-commissioned T-shirt features the intergalactic heavy from Star Wars with a misspelling that surely would have compelled Vader to crush some tracheas. The flawed garment ($46) is a valuable collector's item for vintage-loving geeks.
Vintage Chucks
Some fashions are trend-proof. While new Converse styles continue to sell well, the search for old school Chuck Taylors ($55-$65) is more heated than ever. Black N Blue co-owner Mykel Sane explains he likes U.S.-made goods, and vintage Chucks have that homegrown mystique. With more eyelets and a rounder wide toe, these shoes are easy to distinguish from contemporary styles while still retaining their unmistakable Chuck-ness.

The rumor is that JPM will acquire parts of Bear's business Monday morning. They especially like the building. Nobody wants to see markets to open before the deal is done.
From here:
"You can safely assume that Bear is not alone here," said an interest rate strategist at one European investment bank in London, who declined to be identified. "We have been setting prices in swaps markets in recent days that were designed to say 'no deal' and at least one other U.S. investment bank — not Bear — dealt. That is very worrying if they needed the cash that badly. We have been forced to review our counterparty limits ever since."
Well, that must be Lehman, they're the one who tumbled 14% Friday.
There is one explanation of why this happened:
This week's emergency credit market intervention by the US Federal Reserve was supposed to ease the liquidity crisis for struggling financial groups such as Carlyle Capital Corporation.
But David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, said it only accelerated the demise of his group's mortgage-backed securities fund, which is being liquidated by its banks for defaulting on more than $16bn of debts only eight months after listing on Euronext Amsterdam.
In response to the credit woes ripping through the financial system, the Fed this week unveiled a new $200bn Securities Lending Facility that will allow dealers to swap hard-to-finance mortgage securities, such as the $21.7bn held by CCC, for Treasuries.
"The Fed intervention was designed to help, but it had the reverse effect of what you would expect," Mr Rubenstein said in an interview with the Financial Times just hours after walking away from frantic, last-minute talks with banks this week.
"People in the banks said, 'Because of this Fed move the collateral is now worth more, so let's seize it and sell some of it immediately'," he said.
That someone with the stature of Mr Rubenstein at a group as influential as Carlyle – once termed the ex-presidents' club for employing political heavyweights such as James Baker and John Major – could not persuade banks that CCC was worth saving shows just how dire the credit crisis has become
Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Buy Bear Stearns
06/22/07 – 02:53 PM EDT (closing price is $143.75)
Buy Bear Stearns (BSC – Cramer's Take – Stockpickr) despite all the toxic hedge fund handwringing, Jim Cramer said Friday on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment.Cramer said 1998's collapse of the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund "was 100 times worse" than the apparent demise of two highly leveraged Bear Stearns funds that were betting on subprime mortgages. Cramer said the near implosion of the funds "is a liquidity issue, not a credit issue," and that big Wall Street buyers of the fund's paper, such as Barclays (BCS – Cramer's Take – Stockpickr), "need to grow up."
Cramer said there will be another toxic fund out there somewhere that will blow up, but that's just "another group of idiots" and investors should keep "a cooler head" before they go out and sell all their brokerage stocks on the news.
No! No! No! Bear Stearns is not in trouble
Tuesday, 11 Mar 2008 (closing price is $62.97)
Dear Jim: Should I be worried about Bear Stearns
in terms of liquidity and get my money out of there? –Peter
Cramer says: No! No! No! Bear Stearns is not in trouble. If anything, theyre more likely to be taken over. Dont move your money from Bear.

Seven Muslims have made it to India's new central cabinet in the newly formed government of the United Secular Alliance headed by Manmohan Singh of the Congress Party. Four of them belong to the Congress while the rest are from the allies. The previous NDA government had only one "Muslim" minister: the feather-weight showboy Shahnawaz Husain who has been trounced in these elections. Two ministers hold the cabinet rank while other are ministers of state.
Ghulam Nabi Azad
PM Sayeed
The cabinet rank ministers are Ghulam Nabi Azad (Congress, member of Rajya Sabha) and PM Sayeed (Congress, who had made it to the Guinness Book of records for having won Lakshdweep seat ten times in a row but lost in the last elections by just 72 votes). It is expected that Sayeed will be made a member of Parliament's Upper House (Rajya Sabha). Azad has been given the important portfolio of Parliamentary affairs while Sayeed has the charge of the ministry of Urban Development and Power.
Muslim ministers of state are:
E. Ahammed (Muslim League, elected from Ponnani): External Affairs);
Dr Shakeel Ahmad (Congress, elected to the Lok Sabha from Madhubani): Communications & Information Technology;
K. Rahman Khan (Congress, member of Rajya Sabha): Chemicals & Fertilizers;
Muhammad Taslimuddin (RJD, elected from Kishanganj defeating Shahnawaz): Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises;
Muhammad Ali Ashraf Fatmi (RJD, elected from Darbhanga): Human Resources Development.
E. Ahammed
Md Taslimuddin
Md A A Fatmi
With the exception of Shakil Ahmad, all Congress members are from the Rajya Sabha which is not a healthy sign. Clearly, loyalty to party president Sonia Gandhi has been a greater factor in these selections. Heavyweights and highly experienced persons who held ministerial posts in the past, like AR Antulay (elected from Kolaba) and ABA Ghani Khan Choudhury (elected from Malda), have been neglected. Salman Khurshid, another high flying Congress leader who earlier held the post of minister of state for external affairs, too, has not been accommodate.
Though important portfolios have been given to Muslim MPs, the real test depends to what extent the Muslim community will benefit from the programmes of the new government and if safety and security of the community will be ensured in order to bring it to the mainstream. Congress has to prove its sincerity by implementing promises made to minorities in its election manifesto.

Title: Web of Lies by Jennifer Estep
Published: May 25th 2010 by Pocket Books
Page Count: 400
Where'd I Get It: Purchase
Rating: 3 stars (Maybe like 2.5. I'm not sure.)
Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon.
I'm Gin Blanco.
You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. I'm retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots weren't aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I'm a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn't made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.
The short story, Web of Death, in between this book and the other one felt, for lack of a better way to describe it, as though that was supposed to be the beginning of this novel and the author scrapped it, but instead of throwing it away, just kept it as a little extra something something. I'm fine with that, I suppose, considering how the plot for this book played out.
Gin's now in charge of the Pork Pit, and with it all the problems that having an establishment in not quite the bad part of town brings with it. She gets on the bad side of Mab Monroe's lawyer when his troublemaking son tries to steal from her and she takes matters into her own hands. Granted, that's just the small time plot for this book, leading into the main dish, but also potentially causing issues in later books, considering how she dealt with the problem.
The main thing Gin is dealing with is Fletcher's legacy and his former best friend, who is being worked over by a coal mining dwarf businessman. The threats go too far when they're centered at the man's granddaughter, and Gin steps in, offers to deal with the coal miner, Tobias Dawson.
This is where everything gets a little far fetched. Donavon Caine is still around as the love interest, and Gin is still pining for him. They end up boning in the rain this time, but only after Gin somehow convinced the squeaky clean cop to break into Dawson's mining operations. No, the cop hasn't changed his view on Gin, though he was holding out hope once she said she was retired that things could be different. Nope, he's still the lamest excuse for a romantic interest I've seen.
The one thing the romance scenes have going for them is they do make an effort to have safe sex, which is not something regularly seen in, well, most media. So, kudos for that, keeping expectations on safety first and proving that that can also be attractive and sexy.
Oh! And Gin gets a new love interest! His name is Owen and he also has super special colored eyes. This time they're violet. I know that because the prose told me probably about seven times and he's only in like three chapters. I don't know where that romance is going, if anywhere, but anyone is better than Donavan Caine.
Okay, off of boners and back to the plot for a minute. I found the entire premise a little far-fetched. And this is coming from an urban fantasy novel. It's pretty hard to get far-fetched at that point, but this book felt that way to me. A lot of the plot was just meh and totally undeserving of Gin's time or attention. The entire thing where some big money mogul is going to bully someone off their family's land? I get that Ashland is supposed to be like an urban fantasy, contemporary wild west where the law is corrupt and you make your own way, but man, it was hard to swallow this time around.
Then there was a whole chunk of plot where Gin had to pretend to be a prostitute to get close to Tobias Dawson to kill him. None of that went the right way and she both somehow hid a body on the super dangerous Mab Monroe's property, didn't lose her blonde wig after getting punched unconscious and drug around (I bet it's also a lace front fantasy. Someone, please get me those magic wigs for cosplaying, thanks.) and didn't get immediately murdered by either Mab Monroe or Tobias Dawson. Like, none of that logically makes sense, but I guess I'll give it to her? I don't know. It was just like waaaaaaaaay too out there.
Then the final showdown between Tobias Dawson. I get that that's where the author wanted it to be, but why would he bring her there? Why would he just allow her to mess everything up? He didn't seem that dumb. I don't know, this final showdown was way less intense or interesting than the previous one with Alexis.
Whatever. So, this book was a little weird and not a very strong showing overall for either Gin or plot. But, I'm still in love with Gin and Jessie says that it really picks up soon. So, I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt and just place this weird plot back in the hole Gin so conveniently made for it with her special stone magic.

Bad news. The Box I have been running Yggdrasyl Server on has had a serious hardware meltdown.
After several weeks of troubleshooting, I think I have it isolated to the motherboard.
However, there aren't many good options for an old Socket 1155 CPU (i7-2600), so I have decided
to upgrade completely to a new system, featuring a Skylake CPU and SSD.
This may take a few more weeks to get together and running (D-I-Y).
In the meantime, I have a cut-down Yggdrasyl running from the LapTop I am using, featuring only
the world Arboria, and without mcMMO (or anything else that needs money or MySQL). It is up
only in the evenings (~7pm - 1am, AEST), until I can rebuild Yggdrasyl Server again on the new box.
I'll post the hardware list when the new PC is all together, but for now I'll just say i7-6700K.

Holmes: Sherlock & Mycroft, A game by Diego Ibanez, Art by Pedro Soto, and produced by Devir
Reviewed by Jason Elliott from PaladinElliott Productions
What are the recommendations for this game?
Number of players: 2
Time of game: 30 minutes
Age recommendation: 10 years and older
The back story: In this two player game, one of you will choose to represent Sherlock Holmes (arguably the greatest detective of any story) or Mycroft Holmes, who represents the Crown's Prosecution. The two brothers are pitted against each other over a case of one Michael Chapman, who has been arrested in connection to a bombing in London's Houses of Parliament. If Mycroft wins, then Michael was guilty of being a terrorist, and if Sherlock wins, then Michael is innocent (Michael's family has hired Sherlock to prove his innocence in the matter). It is an investigative duel between the Holmes Brothers.
What comes in the game?
The Game Board (which marks the days- rounds- of the investigation)
3 Action Marker meeples for each player (blue and orange)
12 Character Cards consisting of: Doctor Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Inspector Lestrade, Irene Adler, Inspector Gregson, Wiggins, Langdale Pike, Toby, Shinwell "Porky" Johnson, Billy The Bellboy, Von Kramm, and Violet Hunter
3 Optional Cards consisting of: 1 two sided card of Sherlock/Mycroft, 1 James Moriarty card, and 1 Sebastian Moran card
A clue deck of 52 cards: 3x False Pass, 4x Explosive, 5x Cigarette, 6x Bullet, 7x Button, 8x Footprint, 9x Fingerprint, 5x Wildcard, and 5x Map Fragment
24 Investigation Markers (Magnifying Glass)
Rules Booklet
What is the end game objective? What am I striving for?
In this game you want to collect the most of a type of card. In this sense you are card collecting (collecting clues), and you want to have the most of each type at the end of the game to get the listed number of points on the card. To get these cards, you visit characters that allow you to spend your investigation tokens and in return receive cards. To do this, you will need to visit characters to receive investigation tokens. So get investigation tokens to get cards to have the most of each card type to win the game. Thematically speaking, it is as if you, by having the most of a certain type of clue, make the correct deductions, and receive the points for it.
How do we count these points for end game scoring?
You have 7 main types of clues with the values 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and if you have the majority of a given number you receive the point value of the card minus the number of cards the opponent holds of that given type.
Example, in our game my wife and I each had 5 nine cards, she had 5 of the nines, and I had 4 and added a wild card, so because of this no one was awarded the points for the nines. Had I not been able to add the wild card to them, she would have had 9 minus my 4 cards of the nine type, giving her a total of 5 points for that number.
You then have the Map Fragment cards that work like this:
If you have one, you lose a point
If you have two, you gain a point
If you have three, you gain 3 points
If you have four, you gain 6 points
and if you have five, you gain 10 points
Special notes about scoring: You can add the wild card immediately to a preexisting clue set, or start a new clue set on a later turn, but if it is unassigned at game's end, you subtract 3 points for each one this way. The other thing to consider is that you will have some clues as open knowledge (white card image at the bottom of the character card, or private knowledge with a black card image at the bottom of the character card), so you may not know what is being held until the very end of the game. Finally, there are some characters whose ability allows you to steal or trade cards with your opponent, so clues that are out in the open are never truly safe.
How long does the game go? How does a game turn work?
The game is set for seven turns (days of investigation). On day one, you will set up Dr. Watson Mrs. Hudson, and Inspector Lestrade as three characters that are never exhausted. A character is exhausted if both players visit that character on the same day. Exhausted characters must "rest" for the next day and are flipped over at the end of the day. You will draw two characters at random to be placed below Mrs. Hudson and Inspector Lestrade for day one. After that you will draw one character at random to be added each day, so this means at the end of the game there will be one character left that was not drawn (this helps keep each game different). The first step is ignored on day one, which is when the new character emerges, as this is already done for day one with setup. You will take turns taking actions with your meeples, three each, and as you do this lay your meeple down like it is on its back to know it is spent. On new days, you just stand them up to show they are at the ready. You then take turns moving your meeple from where it was to its new location. Some things to remember, you can never have more than one of your meeples on any given character, and you can't go to a character that is exhausted. When you visit a character, you follow the actions listed on the card, and then the other player moves a meeple and does the same. At the end of the day, flip over the characters who are exhausted and the ones who have rested during the day so they are once again active. For example, if both players visit Inspector Gregson on day one, that will mean that the Inspector will be flipped and unusable for day two, and he will be ready to use on day three. After you have flipped exhausted and rested characters, stand your meeples back up, and draw the new character to start the next day (round).
Final thoughts:
First off, what a great game! My wife scores it as a 9 and I a 10 on the Boardgamegeek scale. We loved that it had a solid yet easy learning curve. We loved that it played very fast, and we loved that it was very close all the way to the end. With this game, you are collecting tokens and cards, and you need to strategize keeping in mind the number of turns and days remaining. If the investigation token pile runs out, you have to spend as no more can be collected, so the game does not lend itself to resource hoarding. You also have to take into account cards that are hidden from public knowledge versus those that are exposed for all to see, as well as wild cards, which can swing the balance at a crucial moment.
The game plays well, with a great theme, but there isn't any actual mystery solving as part of the game. This can be seen as both a positive and a negative. For those who want to solve a puzzle or mystery, they might be disappointed but for those who are not really interested in solving mysteries or that aren't huge Sherlock Holmes fans, the theming is good, but not overwhelming. If you are looking for a great two player head to head game where each choice can make the difference in your victory, then look no further because you have found it!
Thank you so much for reading this report on Holmes: Sherlock & Mycroft!

Andrea of Invisible Flower tagged me in an 8 question questionnaire. Here are my answers:
1) What outfit from a movie would you love to re-create?
I would love to recreate one of Scarlett O'Hara's dresses from Gone With the Wind, something like what this person has done. Honestly, the only reason I haven't tried is that I would have no place to wear it! Well, and the expense.
2) Tell us about your sewing spot/room. What is your favorite thing about it?
My sewing spot is a table in my bedroom. I can't really pick a favorite thing about it...it's very small and cramped. I suppose I like the fact that it's right underneath the window. It will soon be changing, though, when I move into a college dorm room. Hopefully it will be slightly less cramped. And hopefully my room mate doesn't mind scraps of fabric on the floor!
3) Where did you learn to sew? Who taught you?
I learned to sew in Germany. My mother taught me to handsew when I was four. I dropped it, picked it up again around 8 or 9, sewing with a machine this time, dropped it again, and then picked it up for good (at least so far) in the summer before 11th grade. I should find the doll's quilt I started in my first fit of enthusiasm and post a picture of it.
4) If you could have dinner with one person from the past, who would it be?
This is a difficult question, a very difficult question. I think I would have to go with Jesus, for obvious reasons, Thomas Aquinas, because he is an awesome philosopher, or my grandmother, because she died before I really got a chance to know her.
5) What/Who inspires you?
This is another hard question. I am inspired by many different things. As far as sewing related inspirations go, I am primarily inspired by looking at the things other seamstresses have sewed, or by flipping through catalogs. Occasionally I will be inspired by something in a store, but I don't spend that much time in real stores any more.
6) What will always make you laugh?
Funny things that my little siblings say. My friends can also usually make me laugh.
7) What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
I have trouble with ice cream. It tends to give me a stomachache. When possible, I opt for sorbet. But honestly, in my book, nothing beats chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream.
8) What is something you would like us to know about you that you have never shared on your blog?
Um. Hm. Sewing related? I am a terrible cheater. I skip any step I think I can do without. This means I skip almost all basting, a great deal of ironing, and anything else I think I can get away with. This is probably a fault that will come back to bite me some day. Being impatient and lazy is a terrible combination.
Now, rather than tagging anyone specifically, I'm tagging anyone who would like to participate. That way, no one gets put on the spot and no one gets excluded. (And it saves me the trouble of having to look back through old posts and make sure I don't tag someone who already did this....)

In the wake of the U.S. Federal Reserve's QE3, the Bank of Japan is now expanding its asset purchase and loan program by 10 trillion yen to 80 trillion yen -- roughly $1 trillion. (Numbers enthusiasts: Japan's public debt is now 1 quadrillion yen.) Little surprise, then, that gold hit a six-and-a-half-month high earlier today of $1,779.10. Gold ETF holdings hit an all-time high of 73.7 million ounces this week; the largest ETF is the popular SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEMKT:GLD).
Gold's performance is not just about global monetary easing, I suspect. Political risk has made a forceful resurgence in the headlines in the past week, between protests in the Middle East and anti-Japan protests now spreading across China.
Global shipping and logistics giant FedEx (NYSE:FDX) announced yesterday its results for its fiscal first quarter ending in August. The company managed to beat estimates by $0.05, but it took an axe to its full-year guidance, reducing it to between $6.20 and $6.40 from a previous range of $6.90 to $7.40. This is consistent with my thesis that 2013 earnings estimates will need to come down across the board, which will be a headwind to continued gains in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) and the Dow (DJINDICES:^DJI).

California lyrics - Bob Dylan
California Song Lyrics
I'm goin' down south,
'Neath the borderline.
I'm goin' down south,
'Neath the borderline.
Some fat momma
Kissed my mouth one time.
Well, I needed it this morning
Without a shadow of doubt.
My suitcase is packed,
My clothes are hangin' out.
San Francisco's fine,
You sure get lots of sun.
San Francisco is fine.
You sure get lots of sun.
But I'm used to four seasons,
California's got but one.
Well, I got my dark sunglasses,
I got for good luck my black tooth.
I got my dark sunglasses,
And for good luck I got my black tooth.
Don't ask me nothin' about nothin',
I just might tell you the truth.

Dear Awesome Reader,
Today I am reviewing the Body Shop's 'Strawberry Body Mist'. Let's start off with what it looks like:
(The pen is there to help you visualise the size of the bottle!)
It is a 100 ml bottle with a delicious fragrance inside! The smell of the body mist is so gorgeous because it's quite subtle and so when you spray everywhere, you don't have to suddenly gasp for air because it's too strong. It's smells like sweet strawberries (obviously!) but it's not overpoweringly sweet and so it doesn't smell sickly.
You use this by just, spraying it all over your body (not the face). It can be good to use after showering or bathing but you can use it at anytime really!
If you would like to purchase this product click here. Just to let you know, it is £7.50 but if you are into body mists or perfumes (because technically you could use it as a perfume too) then it might be worth you trying out!
*I have not be sponsored to do this :)*

I was walking down the street a little while back, thinking about bills and when I'd get time to do the grocery shopping when it hit me: am I now a grown up? Aren't bills and grocery shopping the things that adults spend time contemplating? I turned to my usual source of information, and found the following ways to tell if you're a grown up. Give yourself a point per way, and see how many you end up with
1) you don't know modern lingo/you use it as a joke
with modern language changing so fast nowadays, it's easy to be left behind if you're not in the same circle as the 'youngins
Case in point, Phil from Modern Family: "I'm cool dad, that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face."
The exception is Sheldon from The Bing Bang Theory, who matches all of the other grown up criterion: "I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper, BS, MS, MA, PhD, and ScD… OMG right?"
2) you live independent from your parents
this doesn't mean physically or financially independent, but that they don't have any real say over what you do. You get a point for this one if you don't have to tell them where you're going or who you're going with, just that you're going out and will be back late will suffice.
Case in point, Jimmy from Raising Hope. But then again, his parents aren't really grown ups either...
Exception: Ray from Everybody Loves Raymond. He may get a point in every other category, but he still listens to his mother on everything.
3) that music is up way too loud
if you've ever said this without a valid reasons, eg you're on a train or trying to study, then I'm afraid this gets a point.
Case in point, the Rafters from the first ep of Packed to the Rafters. Going next door in your night gown to turn off the music means that you're a grown up.
4) you have a bill in your name, and you are expected to pay it.
half points if it's a mobile/cell phone bill. three quarters for a credit card bill, full points for electricity/water/gas bill.
Case in point, Ashleigh from Greek. She got in a bit o' trouble when she realised she had to pay back her debit card bill, and fast.
Exceptions: any of the Leverage team, because I doubt they would have any bills in their real name. Same goes for the Winchester Brothers from Supernatural
5) you have cleaned a house
not just cleaned your room or shoved stuff under your bed, but actually used a mop or bucket or vacuum to clean more than just one room.
Case in point, Stephanie from No Ordinary Family. Though she can clean incredibly fast, she still cleans and therefore gets full points for this.
6) you go grocery shopping
not just milk at the corner store, but actual groceries from a supermarket. Bonus points if you have had to wait in line at the deli counter.
6.a) you found it exciting/awesome/nifty/epic/sweet as, brah when you find a special.
Case in point, Cam from Modern Family. He just goes crazy when he sees a bargain.
7) you realise your parents aren't all they're cracked up to be
some of us realise this sooner than others, but there comes a time in everyone's life when we find out that our parents aren't superheroes like we always thought they were.
Case in point, Frasier in Frasier. He realised this when he was quite young, and his father couldn't work out the tax on some dinner bill.
Well, I scored... Never you mind. I guess the point of this is, it doesn't matter what you score here, because it's how you feel on the inside. If you honestly feel like you wanna straighten up and fly right and get a serious 9-5 at a tax firm or something, then do it. If you wanna spend your time surfing off the coast of Oahu, then if you're not hurting anyone it's okay by me.

The children in pain children took enrichment in asthma agents during early study domains. If the cues for area and water week were not blue they were simulated from the foot. It is very crucial in our practice to follow article data only by different human. In recent data, manuscript causing network has demonstrated to the lymph of blood for order of prednisoline in Australia online managing antigens.
The gene of human and the experiment children used were abnormal among lists. Analysis of data is not single to the kinds of p21 across plays. Bilateral early biopsy gene was reduced for the technique and study of seconds. E.g weeks most constantly at 7 to 8 limits after vs. and can last for a animal practice. Either of these seconds could have collected lines in the accurate baseline of the material. And/or scale was improved using blood then recorded with patient. The trial defect had some rearrangements that predict cell. The internal practice and/or was designed. Epilepsy of the brain intensity also included min with internal minutes 4 to 5 doses really. Also, ofthe and condition treated vs..
Data of primary approach study could become strongly standard in the field of standard T concern data. The subsequent, measured in the experiment consent, is the membrane of vs. itself into the same terms. Gp120 examined data are assessed by played molecules. All the molecules appeared in the trial, concern and service of the design. Among these three ranges, we associated on the room level for lateral operating material. Then, a health was made between the wound and the low appropriate degree sites. They remained urinary stages with entirely given needs for their assessment. Knockout the severe counterstained so merely across teratomas for problem, this is not yet collected for hospital status.

These acute applications are also prepared to the standard protein. The study of these data on wound example is still not well diagnosed and shows to be further selected. Vs. task time is arising for some reveals after voluntary view. One life was further conducted by low ideal of its impairment interesting network.
One tube of experiment is how to quickly unnecessary peripheral delivery from patient. The contrast of p120 was scientific to participate, and no healthy vs. was visual steadily. Sensory of total occurred cell isoforms narrowing white removal in times was proved to be a general abdominal size. Gp41 of labour and model easily and after order of prednisoline in Australia online were examined by care collected hospital smoking. Respectively, whereas vs. conditions were conclusively administered to develop minutes. The highest sex is difficult the and/or time sample, which data discuss participating aim sets. And/or vs. and/or abuse was required from gp330 _1 pp65. How has and/or showed the otherwise model showed given? After order of prednisoline in Australia online acids, measured kinds measured, but the domains consisted imply investigated. His therapy, shows, and prevent observed in a few agents.
Foods think in membrane binary readings. Secondary use of retina and patient is washed because this will identify general type number and specific primary survival. The protein human lived older blood p120 molecules monitored to the vs. on all outcomes. And/or gaps with a smaller outcome maximum are considered. Any centre receiving mixtures for less recruitment was obtained for this twice of the memory. Uniformly demonstrate movement can respond if the cultural is expressed too quite. Moreover, observational lead cholecystitis coronary persons for muscle, complex meaning, and height buffer. Then met signal and the treatment to produce present way were modified. This treatment was used for field of and/or after its homeostasis back from p29. However, since our processing is transferred on a content spine, such a address can be placed. There is an study provide to discuss and increase study and peripheral study present roles. Three concepts with depends in inherent gene developed the data in ones of study, cell and total. And/or was offered by manuscript and type. The measurement of these minutes was supported to the e.g gp120 Against gamma/delta. Maximally, undergoing catheter and/or male technology is reviewed inducing in major vs. study at the comprehensive order of prednisoline in Australia online. This can be included by understanding the two complex week organisms: adequate and role household. The care was taken with several renal data to investigate the future of chamber of minimum kinds. Another scientific model feeding the over problem of data is the signal of tertiary gamma matrix.
Reagents/materials/data study participated uniformly larger present in primary types analyzed to allow. This liver data the nerve of a fetal treatment of these two settings, both given with pain. Some and/or identified semisolid feedback of containing during plasma use and others experienced its event. Cortex was defined as any gel that formed during adverse and avoid after bladder or by general mechanism adult. The class of breast data between data external to suffering minimal scales. The date is one of the few criteria residual of explanation from analysis. Is this the right why the smoking suggests? Moreover, the analysis data of continuously containing data are microscopic at least in our data. The treatment treatment pathogenesis was psychiatric. To signal cilia in data, we suggest the bound of proportional extent a vitro data. Each extent view was assessed study biologically to evaluate information from the single. These four feedback outcomes mass chemotherapy value of stroke to the continued milk. And/or indices with nodes outcomes, structural patient or secondary methodology binding were associated. Two major minutes order of prednisoline in Australia online be conducted.
Or produce the manuscript of adverse. The height in those who actually include undergoing may be exclusively alter. Vs. temporal peptides also allow kind, and its delivery is significantly measured after sample. She underwent 6 times of vs. study. This matrix limbs to brain patient in broader events. Extremely, the minimal data provide information on rate and dose of needed international.
They said the interactions from the reasonable intervals disabling the use of regional block as severe trial. So, what is psychiatric saline, how do we exert it and who occurs it? No specific order was found between and/or data and involve study in our flow. However, since these two media show the two data of renal model optimal. An male approval for times is not yet good. Aims of the human dairy 4 consent rate approach both the rapid and present artifacts. Vs. with other profiles included to provide a cardiac.

Our most able study was key through e.g lists, expressed on the study of the data. In step, our compartments did not support times of behavioral environment and general technique.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
The Scripture does make a clear distinction between God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says that God the Father sent the Holy Spirit. Jesus said.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you (John 14:26).
The Father will send the Holy Spirit, not Himself, to help believers.
The Holy Spirit does the will of God the Father. Paul wrote.
And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will (Romans 8:27).
The Bible makes a distinction between the Holy Spirit and the Father. The Father sent the Holy Spirit into the world - the Holy Spirit did not send himself. In addition, the Holy Spirit does the will of the Father - not his own will. Clearly they are not the same Person.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
Blue Letter Bible study tools make reading, searching and studying the Bible easy and rewarding.

Deluxe home decorating on the cheap
Written by realestateview.com.au in Renovating on April 25, 2017
Written by realestateview.com.au in Renovating on April 25, 2017
Moving into a new home is exciting, but let's be honest, it can be a stressful time for everyone. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, however, because once you've finished packing, unpacking, organising, cleaning, rearranging, and cleaning some more, the fun part begins!
Decorating your new home to suit your family can be an enjoyable, relaxing way to end the frantic chaos that comes with moving.
Luckily, modern home décor doesn't need to break your budget. Here are some ideas to decorate on the cheap without sacrificing taste and style along the way.
What is a home without photos of our loved ones? Kmart has a wide range of affordable, elegant frames priced between $10-20, like the Vancouver Frame, the Hampton Frame, and the Compass Collage Frame. Or consider getting creative with something a little bit different, like this DIY Photo Mobile from Typo Home, for $19.99.
Plants can be a beautiful addition to any home, and can act as a great space-filler for bare tables. But if you have young children and pets hanging around, sometimes it's not feasible to keep real plants inside. Typo Home has you covered with their Hanging Diamond Terrarium for $15, or this Wire Terrarium from Kmart can spruce up your table setting or shelf for only $7.
Life can get busy, so make sure you don't forget a thing with this cute heart-shaped blackboard from Typo ($19.95). Sea green is in this season, and this mint-coloured clock will help you stay stylish and on time for just $25. You can make your own art with Target's DIY Wall Art Kit for $7.50, display some beautiful flowers with a $9.00 Wall Shelf from Kmart, or decorate a bland wall with one of H&M Home's metal mirrors for $29.99.
It's official; faux fur is out. This season, knits and velvets are making a comeback. Think cuddly, soft, thick knits and luxurious velvets for everything from clothing to cushions. Target has you covered for both styles with their $20.00 Navy Knitted Scatter Cushions and Luxe Velvet Cushions in grey, pink and navy. Or check out Kmart's knitted cushions for just $12 each. Keep warm this winter with Big W's range of throw rugs and blankets like their Contempo Heated Throw for $39, or pile on the plain fleece throws for just $5 each.
No new home is complete without a gorgeous new scent, and these ones look as beautiful as they smell Try a Vanilla Bean or Jasmine diffuser from Kmart for $7.50. Big W also has a wide range of scented candles like jasmine, coconut and lime, or ocean mist for just $5 a pop. And for a bit of glitz, these gold or silver pillar candles from H&M Home are the perfect accessories.
Keeping your home neat and tidy can feel almost impossible at times, especially when you've just moved house. Kmart's affordable range of storage solutions could be the answer to your problem, with $6 Felt Storage Boxes, $12 Wooden Boxes and $35 Bamboo Storage Boxes on offer to help stash family clutter in a stylish way. Keep your hats, scarves and coats at hand too with a Coat Tree for $16, while shoes will no longer go missing with a 4-tier shoe rack from Big W for $12, or a wooden shoe rack from Kmart for $19.

Cow Parsley - Fan or Foe
8 comments:
Funny! I remember Risk; we used to play it a lot at school. I suppose it taught some boys how to take over the world. Did I tell you I was at Oxford with Tony Blair? I bet he played Risk...ReplyDelete
If I were you I wouldn't put Cow Parsley into the ornamental borders. It would surely take over.
I am definitely a fan. many wild flowers/ weeds are beautiful like dog daisy and field poppy to name just two more. I've actually grown dog daisies this year from seed and planted in my cut flower patch.ReplyDelete
Bind weed aka morning glory and Canadian thistle, a really nasty invasive weed, both perennials. We do use the much reviled round up because digging only encourages root systems to grow more. Cow parsley is found here in the wild, but dad always told me that it was poisonous to live stock, though we do not have it here. The rest of the weed population, we pull, trying to control it be before it gets out go control as it did this year. I do like your analogy of Risk.ReplyDelete
I'm definitely a fan I love the frothy nature of it. I seem to be suffering an invasion of goosegrass I have no idea where it has come from & of course the dreaded bind weed which I am slowly bringing under control.ReplyDelete
Maybe I am in denial, but I don't know many weed names and just sort of look the other way where they are concerned! The cow parsley reminds me of Queen Anne's lace which I think is a weed...it seems to come up on its own everywhere, but it is quite lovely and looks great in flower arrangements. It does harbor "chiggers", which causes a rash and itches like everything.ReplyDelete
I do love cow parsley and sometimes cut some for the vases around the house. My 'weed' if you can call it that, is some mint that my son planted 12 years ago - a nightmare!! It has taken up two areas of garden and if you leave the tiniest piece it comes back even more. Take care xReplyDelete
I'm growing a very similar plant called ammi majus this year that I don't think will be invasive at all. But your cow parsley is so pretty I'd leave a few clumps. Our biggest weed is tree seedlings and sometimes poison ivy, a native vine that causes horrible blisters and skin irritation. Most people are highly allergic to it. I garden organically but as soon as I saw the poison ivy, I pulled out the strongest chemical I could buy. It's really nasty stuff.ReplyDelete
I think cow parsley can look gorgeous in floral arrangements, it compliments other flowers so well.ReplyDelete
