Dirty Cop Rosenstein Won't Allow Grassley to Interview Agent Pientka Who Knows DOJ Altered Mike Flynn's Testimony

As TGP previously reported in February, according to Mike Cernovich, McCabe altered far left FBI investigator Peter Strzok's 302 notes on his interview with General Michael Flynn.
And then McCabe destroyed the evidence.
Huge scoop. Like my other big stories (Susan Rice, security clearances, Conyers) will take media a long time to confirm.
You know how Peter Strzok's system didn't back up.
You know why?

You know how Peter Strzok's system didn't back up.
You know why?
McCabe altered his 302 of the Flynn interview, and deleted all history of revisions.
Now Senate investigators suspect McCabe altered his 302 notes on General Flynn and have referred the matter to Inspector General Horowitz.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is the one who pressured the FBI and DOJ to turn over the 302 notes on General Flynn's investigation.
In Friday May 11, 2018, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein stating Comey testified the FBI didn't think General Flynn lied. Grassley also revealed Joe Pientka was the second FBI agent who joined Peter Strzok on January 24th, 2017 in an ambush style interview to take down General Flynn.
Rosenstein refused to give the Senate Judiciary Committee the requested documents. Instead, Rosenstein provided "insufficient" documents prompting Grassley to send a second scathing letter to the Deputy AG.
It appears Senate investigators have finally received the 302 notes or evidence confirming Cernovich's February scoop that the FBI summary on Flynn's interview was altered by McCabe.
The IG knows McCabe changed Peter Strzok 302 / notes with General Flynn.
Yet issuing a report to this effect would call thousands of FBI investigations into question.

Yet issuing a report to this effect would call thousands of FBI investigations into question.
It's full on freak-out mode, as no one know how to spin this.
Now this...
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein doesn't want Special Agent Pientka to testify.
Investigative reporter, Sara Carter says Pientka, if issued a subpoena, will discuss how forthcoming Flynn was about very specific sensitive information that Flynn could not have possibly known the investigators already knew, which may give additional insight into Flynn's veracity and willingness to tell the truth.
Pientka is ready to discuss a very specific piece of sensitive information Flynn provided during the interrogation that will further prove Flynn is being truthful. Grassley is now going after Rosenstein for access to Pientka.
FOX News reported:
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley isn't backing down as the Justice Department rebuffs his repeated attempts to speak with the FBI agent whose interview with Michael Flynn was used to indict the ex-national security adviser in the Russia probe.
"This is no ordinary criminal case," Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote in a June 6 letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. "Congress has a right to know the full story and to know it now."
Grassley is pressing his request anew after the DOJ once again rejected his bid to speak with FBI Agent Joe Pientka and to obtain the FBI's records of the interview.

What is Important to You in a Neighborhood?
by Scott Piercy, March 24th, 2014
Choosing the Right Neighbourhood
When you are buying a new home, choosing the right neighborhood is as important as choosing the right home. After all, a house won't feel right if you don't like the neighborhood it's in. So, when you are considering what neighborhood you want to live in, it pays to ask yourself some key questions.
What Kind of Property and Home do You Want?
The most important thing to consider when choosing your neighborhood is whether or not it contains the style of home you want. Are you looking for a single family home, a condo, a townhouse, or a co-op? This will determine what communities are available to you.
What is Important to You in a Neighborhood?
Make a list of what you ideally want in a neighborhood. This list may include things like whether the neighborhood is quiet or busy, new or older, whether there are schools for your kids, or whether it fits into your daily routine (plenty of good jogging routes, or local coffee shops for example). Consider how close the amenities are, and whether you have a pet that requires backyard space or places to exercise.
What is the Crime Rate in Your Chosen Neighborhood?
A good place to start for looking into the crime rate in your chosen neighborhood is online. By Googling the name of your city and neighbourhood, you can often find statistics on the local crime rate. You can talk to the local police about the issues in chosen neighborhood, or drive around the neighborhood a few times, at different times of the day. Look for signs of vandalism, excessive litter, run-down homes, homes with barred windows or guard dogs, vacant buildings or lots, and the state of the neighborhood school. A well-kept school, if there is one, usually means it's a good neighborhood.
What About the Commute to Work?
The commute to work should be an important consideration when you are choosing your neighborhood. You will need to factor in how long the commute would be, whether traffic would be against you, or if there is reliable public transit if you don't drive.
What Kind of People Live There?
Walk around the neighborhood a few times, at different times of the day. This will help you get a feel for the area and the people who live there. A community that houses families will often have a different feel than one that is largely made up of young adults, for example.
If you get a chance, talk to some of the people living in your chosen neighborhood. By asking them how they like living there, you will get a more rounded idea of what the neighborhood is like.
What are the Average Property Values and Taxes in Your Neighborhood?
This is also something you can ask the people living in your chosen neighborhood. By visiting your city hall, you can also find out if the property value has gone up in the last 10 years, or if it will be going up in the future.
Ask the residents, or a local condo real estate agent, what the average property taxes are. Have they gone up in the last 10 years? Are they expected to go up in the near future?
Does the Neighborhood have a Community Association?
When you find a tight-knit neighborhood, you will often discover that it has a Community/Neighborhood Association. By asking around, you can find out whether that association has yearly fees, and what their yard and building restrictions are. If these things don't fit your needs, that neighborhood may not be the one for you.
If you have taken all these things into consideration, and found that the neighborhood you picked does not measure up, you may want to consider finding another neighborhood to buy a home in. After all, when you buy a home, you are buying into the neighborhood it is in.

Lauren Goodger has launched a passionate defence of her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison, saying he is NOT controlling her in a bad way.
The TOWIE star hit out after her friend, Jodie Wheeler, was quoted as saying Joey could be controlling towards Lauren.
Jodie's quote was: "He's very controlling, he wants her to do things she wouldn't do for somebody else. But she likes that."
However, Lauren has insisted the quote was taken out of context and the only way Joey is controlling is when he wants her to stick to her diet and gym routine or take care about what she says in public.
In a long rant posted to Instagram, Lauren said: "There have been some things said which once edited have came across different to the context in which they were said.
"My friend @jodiewheelerx has been quoted by newspapers as to saying she thinks Joey is very controlling.
"That's not been said in a bad way but in the way he wants me to conduct myself with regards to the things I talk about and telling me to stick to the gym/diet etc. Which I actually find encouraging.
"He is not controlling as in I am not allowed to do things, as that's what it's been made to look like in articles and headlines."
Lauren, 30, went on to say she is not justifying Joey's crimes by standing by him - but also believes people are owed a second chance in life.
"I am also NOT IN NO WAY justifying he's crimes or saying they were acceptable, crime is not acceptable and being in prison is not glamorous or a good thing," she said.
"Some articles have worded it like I say it is. I mean it in the context of he committed a string of drug related offences in 2008 and 2009 over 7, 8 years ago and he has served he's punishment by way of being there since September 2009."
"He is out this year," she added.
"Yes crime is wrong, but I also believe people make mistakes and deserve second chances and I hope I don't have to talk about this again.
"I also receive a lot of messages from girls in a similar situation that feel they are being judged by standing by someone away, when actually it shows loyalty and being a forgiving person."
Lauren and Joey began dating last year but were only pictured together for the first time this week, when a series of intimate selfies emerged showing them kissing on a date while Joey was on day release.
Londoner Joey, 30, and accomplice Marvin Russell Jacobs were convicted in 2010 of possession with intent to supply, possession of a firearm, kidnap, blackmail, actual bodily harm and aggravated burglary following an eight-week trial at Wood Green Crown Court in North London.
The judge at the time said the victims were concerned in the supply of drugs.
Both received the same 16-year sentence, and Morrison is now in the category D open prison, where visiting rules are more relaxed.
Lauren revealed recently the pair have never had sex and described it as the "weirdest relationship" she's ever had - but she's still smitten with her beau.
Opening up on Channel 5's In Therapy last night, Lauren said: "He went inside at 24-years-old, to me I think he's amazing and I don't judge him because he broke the law and he's in prison. He's not a bad person. He would never hurt or harm anyone.
"He's got 21 months left to serve. I think he's learned his lesson but he was involved in the wrong thing, he didn't really do anything that bad. He was involved in something and he got a long sentence for it. So I'm protective over him."
When asked how they met, Lauren revealed she knew Joey before he was jailed and was reunited after she answered a phone call from him at a mutual friend's home.
Lauren says: "This is the weirdest relationship ever, but it's exciting and I think that's what I like. I think it's different and he's my type and everything."
Lauren takes on the two-hour drive to prison twice a week to visit Joey. She's also had Joey's name tattooed on her wrist.

Microphone Pickup-Pattern! How the different pattern modes affect Your Recording?
In this post we want to help you to understand the different Microphone Pickup-Patterns. Which Microphone Pickup Pattern is the best for your Recording- Purpose? Definition ✔ and Tips ✔ on Cardioid, Stereo, Bi-directional, Omni-directional
What is a Microphone Pickup Pattern?
– Definition –
A Microphone Pickup Pattern is the way your microphone is setup technically to record sound coming from vairous sources in your room. In the following chapters we will explain and give examples for each microphone pattern.
Mainly there are four Different Pattern Modes for Versatile Audio Recording:
Cardioid Mode (most common)
Microphone Pickup Pattern
The most common microphone pickup pattern, when it comes down to recording for youtube, podcasting, gaming and voice-overs, is the so called cardioid mode.
Well-suited for podcasts, vocals, or game streaming, because the cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. It delivers a rich, full-bodied sound. And even helps to eliminate sounds that are behind the microphone like the clicking of your keyboard while recording gaming or simple background noise.
Recommended for:
podcasts, game streaming, vocal performances, voice-overs and instrumental recordings (one explicit instrument like playing the guitar).
Stereo Mode
Microphone Pickup Pattern
The stereo mode uses both the left and right channels, and is ideal for capturing a realistic, general sound image.
Therefore you will use a microphone with stereo pickup pattern for recording music in a studio or even narrations where you want to address the direction from which the sound approaches the listener. One speaker (voice) is coming from the right, the other from the left. The Stereo recording also can address the "positions" of the rest of the sounds in a room.
Microphones with a stereo recording pattern inherit at least two capsules to catch the sound.
Recommended for:
Instrumental Recordings, especially Acoustic Guitar. Vocals with more than one voice (choir).
Omnidirectional Mode
Microphone Pickup Pattern
The Omnidirectional mode picks up sound equally from all directions. Therefore when talking about the perfect microphone pickup pattern for your needs, it is perfect for all situations where you want to capture the ambience sound of an event. For example when recording a live concert or an interview at a club where the ambience should "show up".
Recommended for:
Concerts, Interviews with more than 2 People, Podcasting with lots of people in the room, conference calls.
Bidirectional Mode
Microphone Pickup Pattern
The Bidirectional microphone pickup pattern records sound from both the front and the rear of the microphone. Therefore it is the perfect choice for capturing the details of a musical instrument. Another great usage of this microphone mode is recording an interview between two people, sitting opposite of each other.
Recommended for:
Interviews (one-on-one), Musical Instruments (details), voice-overs where you want to capture the sound of a speaker behind your microphone and your voice.
Hope this helps you to get clear which will be the mostly used microphone pickup pattern for your recordings. Of course you can filter all microphones on this site in the Microphone Finder by the pick up pattern for a better overview and decision.
Tip: If you are not sure which one you will mainly use. Take a look at our no.1 recommendation of a Multi-Purpose Microphone for your recordings, the Blue Yeti Review.
If you have any ideas or want to share your own experience with a pickup pattern or a specific microphone we would love to exchange in the comments below.

Des Moines pop artist Gloom Balloon is set to release his new LP with back-to-back shows at Vaudeville Mews at 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Des Moines pop artist Gloom Balloon is set to release his new LP with back-to-back shows at Vaudeville Mews at 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Gloom Balloon arose from the frenetic creative energy of Patrick Tape Fleming, whose band, the Poison Control Center, is a genuine Iowa cult classic. Gloom Balloon showcases Patrick's darker, more meditative side and yet the album is overflowing with moments of stirring beauty. The record's B side is entitled "Fix the Sunshine pts. 1-7, an Ode to Bill Doss" and was composed after Bill Doss' death last year. Doss' band, the Olivia Tremor Control, was a huge influence on Fleming and the Poison Control Center, and the B side of the record reflects this influence in the form of a flowing stream of sounds that incorporate choir vocals, weird guitar pedal effects, strings, keyboards and more into one gorgeous piece of psychedelic pop. It's an innovative tribute to a pop innovator: Bill and Patrick meeting on an astral plane available to both through their mutual worship and re-invention of the Beatles — and the listener gets to witness the dream.
New Little Ruckus video released
The new video for the single, "Born Nu," from the ever-productive Fairfield pop-punk icon Little Ruckus, opens with an image of Little Ruckus himself with four cigarettes in his mouth as well as one in each nostril and one in each ear, and it only gets more brutal from there.
The video is remarkable for the totally maximal use of screens. As the song progresses, the video explodes with images on top of images on top of images, smaller screens emerging from the corners of the larger screen only to be superseded by even smaller screens that arise to take their place.
It's a grotesque, hilarious and truly outrageous spectacle, and it shows that Little Ruckus has developed his video editing skills to a point that can now keep pace with his tireless, hyperactive vision and his bracing, overwhelming energy.
Blues show at DG's
The Boone-based blues quartet Case of the Blues will be at DG's on Saturday for a post-Thanksgiving performance of solid, traditional blues-rock.
The distinctive Ames pop band Morning Sex &the Good Weed recorded a new record in Boone last week for future release on Nova Labs. The band makes some of the catchiest and strangest tunes in town, and the record is sure to be a popular item among their tight-knit crew.

I was born laughing in Denver, Colorado in 1985. I was a wild kid—fond of Hawaiian shirts, Nintendo, and cowboy boots. I am still fond of these things. I started writing poetry at age ten while attending Flood Middle School, which was torn down. I was only suspended once from Englewood High School, which was also torn down, then rebuilt. I was kicked out of graduation.
I got a degree from the University of Colorado in Creative Writing with an emphasis in poetry. It took me three years and I made one friend. I moved to Chicago during its coldest winter in 40 years to get a master's degree in Journalism from Northwestern University. It took me one year and I made one husband. I live in Denver and Milwaukee, which has been my second home for ten years where I stare at the great lake like I've never seen it before.
I'm a performance and paper poet. I've recited in Denver for the TEDx Mile High event and took stage at the Eaux Claires festival in Wisconsin last year. My latest work is a photographic poetry book called Revelry & Rhyme. I've published articles, essays, and poems in the US and England.
I have one sister and two parents. I study Ving Tsun Kung Fu. I like rum and puppies. I'm a wild adult, and I hope I die laughing.

How does the #SMSports team respond to an upset?/
For the first time since October 19, 1985, the AP No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 college football teams all fell in the same day. National television showcased the players responses and coaches addressed the upsets during press conferences, but how did the respective #SMSports teams respond to the unexpected?
No. 2 Clemson vs. Pittsburgh
The play: Senior kicker Chris Blewitt made a 48-yard field goal with six seconds left as Pitt halted No. 2 Clemson 43-42. The loss, despite the record day for Clemson junior quarterback Deshaun Watson, put a speed bump in the Tigers' goal of back-to-back playoff appearances.
What did their timeline have to say about the loss? Well, not much.
@ClemsonFB let fans know that Pittsburgh took the lead with a field goal, but then went silent until the words from Watson brought the focus back to motivating the Clemson fanbase.
Business went on as usual for arguably one of the top college athletics #SMSports staffs as they pushed out weekly graphics and gifs highlighting game leaders along with words from head coach Dabo Swinney, but the word "loss" is nowhere to be found.
There's no doubt the digital team is #ALLIN heading into week 12, but only time will tell if the team on the field can be as strategic as the team in the press box.
The play: Iowa freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and the Hawkeyes stunned Michigan 14-13.
Unlike Clemson, the Michigan #SMSports team addressed the loss immediately and used the hashtags #KeepFighting #NotOver in the resulting recap and video recap tweets.
As the Wolverines went back to Iowa's famously pink visitors locker room at Kinnick Stadium, NDSU joined the digital conversation and threw some serious shade at Jim Harbaugh's squad.
The Michigan faithful came together the following day after falling just two spots in the AP poll and @UMichFootball assured people that "The Wolverines still hold destiny in own hands." All hail the playoff expectations, #Onward.
No. 4 Washington vs. No. 20 USC
The play: Redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and USC upset No. 4 Washington 26-13 on the road Saturday night. The victory snapped the Huskies' twelve-game winning streak and put their playoff aspirations in question.
The Huskies digital team set the scene for followers late in the fourth quarter with this:
And met the stinging reality face-to-face in the timeline, much like the Wolverines had earlier in the day.
The feed then turned over to the expected: press conference, highlights and recaps as the College GameDay crew said goodnight to "The Greatest Setting."
It looks as if UofM and UW are calling plays from the same social media playbook.
Meanwhile, just two teams remain unbeaten this season and one (no, not Alabama) is getting College GameDay this weekend.
Digital media pros are drooling over the opportunities Western Michigan has to expand their brand on a national scale this weekend. The game kicks off at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 19, but we have to imagine the game plan is already being drawn up. Your move, Broncos.

We asked many parents and alumni for things they thought you may need to make your child's stay a little easier.
Here is what they suggested....
1. What you need to put all that stuff in!
Some parent send luggage, while others bring trunks. While trunks are sturdy, they can be broken if the camper stands on them (it has happened more times than you think) A great solution I have seen recently is the clear under the bed totes. They have plenty of space and can easily roll under the bed!
2. Dress for success, not to impress.
I have seen campers come with outfits that belong more in a upscale social gathering than they do in a camp environment. It's nice to have one nice outfit, but everything else will get dirty, wet and possible torn.
One rule of thumb is ...
"Don't send your child to camp that you will miss if it doesn't come home. "
We also suggest that the clothes be comfortable because they will be running around.
3. Lots of socks-
You never can have enough socks- there is nothing that makes a camper more miserable than wet feet! Also at least two pairs of shoes. One parent told me she went to the local thrift shop and got a great pair of hiking boots that her son could wear for the week, and it didn't break the bank!
4. Glasses at camp:
There is a good chance that your child may break or lose their glasses. I have repaired many of them while at camp, but you may want to look at sending them with an old pair, or getting them a set that can withstand the stresses of camp. Here is what one parent said about glasses...
"My son wore his sport glasses all week. The bonus is they were transition lenses so he had sunglasses when outside. When I set him up in the cabin we made sure he had a safe place to put them at night."
5. Packing the clothes -
Sometimes when you pack everything and the child returns home, everything except one or two sets of clothes are still where you packed them. Here is what one parent said about this issue...
Sometimes when you pack everything and the child returns home, everything except one or two sets of clothes are still where you packed them. Here is what one parent said about this issue...
"Wrap daily wardrobes with underwear, socks, shorts and T shirts with a rubber band or place them in zip lock baggies.You wont over pack and kids can grab an outfit each day. This way they are not throwing clean clothes all over and they get a fresh pair of underwear a day."6. Laundry bag -
I can't tell you how many times our younger campers have thrown wet clothes into their packed bags with clean clothes, and you get that infamous "camp musty smell". One suggestion is to send them with a laundry bag and explain to them that they put wet and dirty clothes into the bag each day.They can hang the bag on the side of the bunk.
7. What did I bring?
Parents hate going through lost and found at the end of the week. Having campers come home with everything they brought is tough! Here is what one parent suggested.
"We tape a list of everything our son brings on the inside of his trunk. This helped so much! Don't forget to list the color or description of the item. Just saying 2 towels instead of saying one spider man and one blue bath towel can make all the difference. "We also suggest you label everything or put their initials on the tags in their clothes.
8. Self addressed stamped envelopes or even better- self addressed & stamped post cards! Our clerk has some advice on that...
"Every morning when we get the mail we see that have incomplete addresses on them. We do take those letters and get the addresses off our database, but it makes your child's life a lot easier if you fill this stuff out before they come to camp. "And if you give them a postcard for every day, it helps them to focus on something when they are sad! And who doesn't like getting mail form your children when they are at camp!
9. Pack one goofy thing
Last summer a camper brought stick on mustaches. He broke them out during viking meal, and gave them to all his bunk mates. It was so much fun.
I've also seen tattoo stickers, silly hats, and other simple costume things for use in our theme meals like mismatched lunch or twin lunch.
10. Bathrobes
Last summer many of the counselors said that if their campers had bathrobes, they could get more time in the showers. Since everyone needs to walk back and forth between their cabins and the bath houses, a robe would make it easier. Also while campers are waiting to shower, having a bathrobe make it quicker to get in and out of the shower.
11. Extra towels
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.
Towels at camp can get really messy quickly. They fall off the clothesline, never really get dry unless they are n direct sunlight, and can really smell if left under the bed when wet. At a minimum you should bring a bath towel and a beach towel. (An extra towel wont hurt either... Oh, and two swim suits aren't a bad idea either. Not required , but are a nice thing to have just in case it is a wet week.
12. Toiletries-
A small bag or a little bucket to carry shampoo, soap, toothpaste and tooth brush between the showers and the cabin helps a lot! We want them brushing their teeth!
13. A Little Something Special
"I always like to pack a small gift or item to let my child know that I am thinking of them and that I am proud of them. He usually doesn't find it until Tuesday!"
A small thing packed in your child's stuff can really brighten their day. A comic book, a small stuff animal, or something that has special meaning- these things can lift the spirit!
14.Opps- I forgot something
Every so often a camper forgets something.A pillow, and extra blanket, a tooth brush, shampoo. Don't worry. We have many of these things in stock and will make sure your camper has them when they need them. We don't have enough for the whole camp, just enough to help cover those that forgot them.
We hope this list gives you some great ideas for this summer. Let us know if you have any other tidbits of advice we can share!

Campaign for priestly vocation to start
Cebu Daily News First Posted 07:52:00 01/18/2011 Filed Under: Churches (organisations)
The Archdiocesan Seminaries of Cebu (Blessed John XXIII Seminary, San Carlos Seminary College and Seminario Mayor de San Carlos will once again spearhead the annual Archdiocesan Vocation Promotion Week from Jan. 22 to Jan. 30 with the theme: "Ako Ang Nagpili ug Nagtudlo Kanimo" – (John 15:16).
Around 400 seminarians will be deployed to the different parishes and schools in Cebu to search for students who want to join the priesthood.
Dr. Arden Monisit, Cebu Provincial Schools Division Superintendent, signed a Division memorandum dated Dec. 15, 2010, affirming the letter submitted by seminarian Dante P. Carredo, president of Opus Vocationum vocation promoter, requesting that seminarians from the three Archdiocesan seminaries of Cebu based in Mabolo, Cebu City will be visiting the secondary schools for vocation campaign on Jan. 24-30.
Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, in his letter to the Department of Education, Division of Cebu Province dated last Nov. 15, also mentioned the endorsement of the Opus Vocationum, coordinating body of the said activity to some radio stations to disseminate campaign information through announcements or a short talk on priestly vocation.
A send-off Mass for the seminarians will be held on Jan. 22 in Seminario Mayor de San Carlos.
" The upcoming Archdiocesan Vocation Promotion Week will always remind us to pray for those being called by the Lord that they will have the courage and generosity to answer God's call. Let us pray for those who are in the seminary at this time discerning if they have a vocation that the Lord will guide and bless them. Let us pray for priests that the Lord will continue to bless them in their vocations. I encourage you to continue to pray for vocations throughout the year, not just today. Pray that many will say Yes to God like Mary, "Be it done unto me according to your word,"" the press release said.
Seminarians answer call to preserve environment
Cebu Daily News
Posted date: March 05, 2011
In response to the worldwide call to protect and preserve Mother Nature, the sophomore seminarians from San Carlos Seminary College (SCSC) initiated a one-week environmental campaign.
The week opened with a display of posters, which showed man's different encounters with nature.
Last Tuesday, a symposium on solid waste management and the benefits of recycling was held with a guest speaker from Barrio Luz, the barangay famous for its effective recycling procedures.
Other activities include an "I Pledge Wall" where seminarians can write pledges about what they can help to protect the environment, an Amazing Race featuring the challenges about the environment, a quiz bee and a film showing.
One striking pledge written on the "I Pledge Wall" goes, "I pledge to plant a tree. One man, one tree would soon make a forest."
With this activity, the organizer aims to instill in the future priests the importance of taking care of the environment.
Seminarians challenged to 'witness the faith'
Cebu Daily News First Posted 07:59:00 03/16/2011 Filed Under: Belief (Faith), Religion & Belief
The church-based movement for a transformed Filipino nation organized a symposium on the role of Christian faith in the modern times.
It was held on Friday, March 4, at 8 p.m., hosted by the San Carlos Seminary College (SCSC) in Mabolo, Cebu City.
Seminarians from high school and college and theology students of the Archdiocesan seminaries attended the activity together with their lay and priest formators.
Dilaab movement overall coordinator steward Fr. Carmelo Diola invited Heidi Mendoza, the former Commission on Audit (COA) auditor, to enlighten the community and deepen the role of true Christians in our times.
According to Fr. Diola in his blog, "She is a very ordinary citizen, who, impelled by her faith, provides accompaniment to public servants in the journey together towards integrity. It is about realizing that we are all in this together as part of the problem and part of the solution. It is about connecting personal conversion, family renewal and social transformation. It is about organizing for the common good. It is about igniting spaces of hope. This demands prayer and sacrifice."
In her statement, Mendoza said, "She wants to assure the public that not all in the government are corrupt."
In addition, Msgr. Roger Fuentes, rector of SCSC expressed his profound gratitude to Heidi for "choosing the way of truth. He said Heidi has the moral integrity because she went to the source, to God. And that is why she lives in life of integrity."
He cited a story about the life of St. Thomas Aquinas, that whenever St. Thomas pondered over a problem in theology, he turned to prayer to seek God's enlightenment.
The night ended with challenges to the future priests "to witness the faith and go back to the source, to God."
This is true not only for seminarians but also for all Filipinos. Our role is to lead as model and show others, through our own personal example, how to live a faithful life of love. With this, we may able to avoid temptation of corruption because of our fear on God, said its writer. /seminarian Marcelino Rapayla Jr.
Seminarians told to 'value human life'
Cebu Daily News First Posted 07:46:00 03/28/2011 Filed Under: Religions
The Archdiocesan seminaries of Cebu – Blessed John XXIII Seminary, San Carlos Seminary College (SMSC) and Seminario Mayor de San Carlos – held their eighth gathering from March 16 to 19 with the theme, "Compassion and Communion: Solidarity in the Priestly Formation."
A symposium, sports and inter-department competition, and a socio-cultural presentation were among the highlights of the event.
The Triduum and Holy Mass held at the St. Charles Borromeo Chapel of Seminario Mayor de San Carlos in honor of St. Joseph, the protector of vocation officially opened the gathering on March 16.
The Mass was presided by Rev. Fr. Euselito Tulipas and co-celebrated by SMSC rector Msgr. Guillermo Gorre and vice rector, Rev. Fr. Joseph Stephen Anore.
During the symposium, Fr. Tulipas focused his discussion on the theme.
"We are expected to grow in experience and become more like Jesus in the course of time. We should be a better servant of the Church because we are journeying with Him," he said.
Seminarians from the high school, special class, college and theology departments were delighted and enlightened by the presence of Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma during the bishop's forum.
"Value your own life as a seminarian. Make good use of the life that is given by God as your way of thanking Him," Palma said.
He explained his objection to the Reproductive Health bill, saying "The bill is immoral, anti-cultural, unconstitutional and financially questionable."
"Everyone should understand and uphold that human life, even the unborn, should be protected from the moment of conception," he said.
A fourth year seminarian from Blessed John XXIII Seminary asked Palma about his stand on the closure of the high school seminary.
He said "I will borrow the idea of retaining the high school seminary."
Based on his own study, "not all high school seminarians will proceed to theology or become priests but at least they will become good citizens."
If we look back at the seminary history in 1595, "although not specifically for the training of priest, the school provided an ideal place for seminarians to develop good character traits and learn the basics of newly planted Christian faith."
The gathering ended on March 19 with Mass at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on the feast of St. Joseph and the birthday of Archbishop Palma. / Seminarian Marcelino Rapayla Jr.

Semana Santa in Tabor Hill
Religious relics open to public
Holy Week starts on Viernes de Dolores or the Friday of Sorrows.
The tradition was inherited from the Spaniards. After the Second Vatican Council, it was no longer practiced by the Catholic Church but continued with the Order of the Discalced Augustinians (OAD) Philippine Province.
The Chapel of Holy Relics celebrated Holy Mass in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows as the Holy Week opening salvo at Tabor Hill in barangay San Jose, Cebu City.
More than 750 first-class fragments of saints of the Catholic Church are displayed in the chapel.
Rev. Fr. Dennis Ruiz emphasized the seven sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary in his homily, and encouraged the faithful to imitate Mary's virtues as the perfect disciple of Jesus Christ.
The "Semana Santa sa Tabor Hill 2013" is open to all.
Ruiz said one does not need to fly to the Holy Land to experience significant places of the Passion of Christ because everyone can see and touch fragments here.
The relics are open for public exposition in the chapel.
The Silent Testimonies of the Passion are fragments of the Cross, Crown of Thorns, Holy Shroud, Sudarium, Passion Robe, Purple Robe, Table of the Last Supper, Column of the Flagellation, the Wood Column where Jesus was tied in the house of Anna, Rock from Gethsemane, Rock from the Mt. of Olives, slab from the Holy Sepulcher, Rock from the Calvary.
The Witnesses of the Passion are fragments from the bones of St. Salome, St. Mary of Cleophas, St. Mary Jacobi, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Nicodemus, St. Joseph of Arimathea, St. John the Beloved, St. Lazarus, St. Martha, St. Photina the Good Samaritan, the veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary, fragments of the cross of the Good Thief and the altar used by St. Peter the Apostle.

OAD celebrates feast of St. Lucy
THE Philippine Province of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians (OAD) will celebrate the feast of St. Lucy, virgin and martyr, tomorrow, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Chapel of Holy Relics, Tabor Hills, barangay San Jose, Cebu City.
There will be a Holy Mass and imposition of St. Lucy's Blessed Oil to those who have eye problems.
"The significant of Saint Lucy's Blessed Oil is that her bone is dipped into the oil and will be used in imposition to all the devotees especially those who have eye problems," said Rev. Fr. Dennis Ruiz, OAD, the province economo and chaplain of the Chapel of Holy Relics.
St. Lucy is not an Augustinian saint but one of the Augustinian convents fosters the devotion to her.
She became well-known in Italy because of her intercessions and miracles.
Fr. Crisologo Suan, OAD, Provincial Commissary of the Philippine Province, will celebrate the Eucharistic Mass, followed by the veneration of St. Lucy's relic.

St. Augustine Week kicks off
INTRAMURALS is the perfect time to establish camaraderie, sportsmanship and talents among seminarians, priests and lay formators.
The St. Monica Institute of Religious Studies and Tabor Hill College of the Order of Discalced Augustinians (OAD) launched the Sportsfest 2012 on Aug. 9 at the OAD Gym on Tabor Hill, barangay San Jose, Cebu City as one of the highlights of St. Augustine's Week from Aug. 27 to Aug. 31 with this year's theme, "If Augustine were still alive today…"
Physical fitness is not only conditioning one's body but also conditioning one's mind, said Rev. Fr. Roland Biong, OAD as he opened the week-long activities.
If Augustine were still alive today, he will play among seminarians, priests and lay formators. He will showcase his agility and alertness in the set of activities like tree planting, film viewing, lectures, educational tour, and oratorical contest. /SEMINARIAN MARCELINO RAPAYLA JR., OAD
OAD opens devotion to St. Nicholas
THE Philippine Province of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians (OAD) kicked off their novena Masses in honor of its patron, St. Nicholas of Tolentino on Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. at the Chapel of Holy Relics, Tabor Hills, barangay San Jose, Cebu City.
The saint marks the significance of the Philippine Province as a separate province of OAD Italy. The OAD province of the Philippines is led by newly elected provincial commissary, Rev. Fr. Crisologo Suan, OAD.
The intercession and example of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino inspired the Philippine Province as he is the first Augustinian friar to be canonized after the grand union of the Order of St. Augustine (OSA) in 1256.
According to Rev. Fr. Dennis Ruiz, the Province Economo, "the celebration seeks to foster devotion of the saint. As a newly OAD province of the Philippines, we need to stand and work together for the realization of God's kingdom as we bring people closer to God and God closer to people."
OAD Philippines will continue the Augustinian custom of blessing and distributing "Saint Nicholas Bread" in his memory.
This year's fiesta celebration has several activities for the public to attend, including a Pontifical Mass to be presided by Most Rev. Julito Cortes, D.D. to culminate the event on Sept. 10 at 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, the OAD holds a Mass every Monday at 5:30 p.m. at the Chapel of Holy Relics.

Palma to ordain 11
The Archdioceses of Cebu will welcome 11 new priests. Deacons Ruel Marigomen, Joel Oriesga, Richard Rama, Jerome Escarro, Daniel Mata, Daniel Daculan, Lydio Felizarte, Eugene dela Corte, Bonnin Olivar, Nilo Sabellon, and Kevin Trazo will be ordained to priesthood by Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on June 21 at 9 a.m.
The deacons were the last batch ordained by Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal on Dec. 7, 2010, and will be the first batch ordained to priesthood by Palma.
Ten of the deacons graduated from Seminario Mayor de San Carlos (SMSC) in Juan Luna Avenue, Mabolo, Cebu City. One seminarian, Daniel Mata, was from San Jose Major Seminary-Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City.
These deacons were deployed to parishes in Cebu in May. They met weekly with the archbishop for processing and share their experiences.
They attended the "Walk with Jesus Seminar" of the Oasis of Love in Ecotech Center, Sudlon, Lahug, Cebu City, for their spiritual growth and recently came back from their six-day retreat.

Altruistic donor still exists
I'm just a steward of this earthly body and it's about time I gave it back to the owner (God)."
Thus said seminarian Marcelino Rapayla Jr., a kidney donor.
Altruism is helping behavior that is motivated by a selfless concern for the welfare of another person. Giving alms to the poor is often considered an altruistic action in many cultures and religions. Not all helping behavior is altruism. Only selfless helping is considered altruism.
Dr. Alvin Roxas, transplant and vascular surgery of Cebu Transplant Network, said altruism is still alive.
He said seminarian Rapayla was the living proof that man by nature is good.
Rapayla, of barangay Ibo, Lapu-Lapu City, is a second year philosophy student at the San Carlos Seminary College in Mabolo, Cebu City. He voluntarily donated one of his kidneys to a priest patient from the Diocese of Tagbilaran, Bohol.
While in the seminary, Rapayla learned that the uncle (a priest) of a fellow seminarian needed a kidney transplant. It has also been his dream to donate his organs after his death but did not know where to go to make the arrangements so when he heard of the need of a fellow seminarian's uncle, he quickly volunteered. "Why should I wait to die for me to help?" he said.
"We have two kidneys, one is to care and the other one is to share. I can live healthy with one kidney. I'm just a steward of this earthly body and it's about time I gave it back to the owner (God)," Rapayla said.
Dr. Vidal Redulla Jr., chairman of the Bioethics Sub-Committee on Organ Donation and Transplantation of Cebu Doctors' University Hospital, said the sub-committee granted clearance to proceed with the kidney donation of renal transplantation after having found that all the requirements were complied with.
The kidney donation of renal transplantation was successfully done on May 10, 2011, at the CDU hospital.
Rapayla said, "It's truly a living witness of God's love between His people. His boldness and courage to do it for the sake of the Gospel as yours does really love your neighbor. This selfless and life time sacrifice is a call and inspiration that everyone could be God's instrument to let someone experience life. Be an altruistic donor or a gift of life to one of the 7,000 patients on the renal transplant waiting lists. A number of patients in this list from National Kidney and Transplant Institute continue to grow each year." /SEMINARIAN MARCELINO RAPAYLA JR.
Cebu Archdiocese campaigns for priesthood
THE Cebu Archdiocese is holding an Archdiocesan vocation campaign from Jan. 21 to Jan. 29 to recruit students for the priesthood.
Around 350 seminarians from San Carlos Seminary College were fielded to the different parishes in Cebu to conduct vocation awareness, enhancement and promotion in schools and other institutions.
This year's theme is "Pagsaksi sa Pulong, Pagpalambo sa Bokasyon."
Seminarian Harvey Argoncillo and officers of Opus Vocationum said they hoped that this activity would encourage high school students, especially the graduating ones, to make a difference in their lives by discovering and believing in what they are called for.
Prior to the seminarians' deployment to their respective assignments, a symposium was held at the Seminario Mayor de San Carlos with Rev. Fr. Jesper John Petralba as the resource speaker.
A send-off Mass was held the following day at the San Carlos Seminary College Chapel.
Right after the symposium last Jan. 20, the Opus Vocationum launched their facebook account email@example.com in response to the challenges of the digital world era.
During the 44th World Communications Day, Pope Benedict XVI challenged the Church communities to always use the modern media for fostering communication, interacting with society and encouraging dialogue at a wider level.
Rev. Fr. Socrates M. Saldua, director of Archdiocesan Vocation Promotion Office, in his message to the seminarians during the send-off Mass, said, "Go, proclaim and be the witness of God's love."
Seminarians love Mother Earth
IT's that time of the year when love is in the air again.
Sophomore seminarians from San Carlos Seminary College initiated a unique way of celebrating Valentine's Day with Mother Earth.
Engr. Ivy Tariman, seminary professor, said the activity is unique because its subject of affection is Mother Earth, which like any human mother, continues to serve and love despite being neglected.
During the celebration, the earth science students will hang their prayers, wishes and love notes to Mother Earth in a Valentine tree.
Like St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology, seminarians saw nature as a teaching tool that helped them learn about God.
Reymark Gura, one of the sophomore seminarians, mentioned in his poem "Mother Earth" the beautiful things and the negative things about the earth.
Here are some parts of the poem.
"…Where are the birds and the songs they sing?
Why are rivers dead or dirty and no longer clean?
Why do flooding and landslides now become common?
What have we done to this world of our?"
With this activity, organizers aim to bring to everyone's attention the way people neglected the planet and to enjoin everyone to be more circumspect in their actions. /Seminarian Marcelino Rapayla Jr.

FoundCare, Inc., a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center, is offering free HIV tests at multiple locations throughout Palm Beach County in honor of National HIV Testing Day, June 27.
This free event is designed to provide free rapid HIV tests which are confidential and non-evasive. A healthcare professional will use a cheek swab during the painless procedure. Test results are final within minutes.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 1 million people in the United States have HIV and 1 in 7 of them don't know it. Every 12 minutes, a new infection occurs. In Palm Beach County, more than 8,200 people, or 1 in 170 residents, are living with HIV. The CDC recommends everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested at least once as part of routine healthcare, but more at-risk individuals should be tested at least once a year.
HIV treatment can keep individuals healthy for many years and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. Staying educated and getting tested are the two most powerful weapons against HIV.
FoundCare offers HIV testing during normal business hours at their locations year-round, but the organization is bringing special attention to this important day of national observance. Appointments are available; however, walk-ins are always welcome.
Rapid Testing will be offered at the following FoundCare locations June 27:

My second blog post for Live in Everett went live today! I was about to say it's my first writing gig, but I was a copywriter at an ad agency for a while. It's the first time getting paid for writing something enjoyable. It's not a huge amount or anything, but it'll be nice to get back the money I spend doing the research.
This morning at the pool was nice, and I got a good time lapse from the leg of one of the picnic tables nearby.
I originally thought about putting it on the playground equipment and am glad I didn't. It was really surprising so early on a weekday to come out and find kids playing there. It was around 7:30. After that, I stopped by QFC for some items I needed, and hoped to find nail polish there, but they don't seem to carry any. Drug stores seem to be the way to go, so I went across the street to Rite-Aid, only to discover I was ten minutes too early. To kill time, I went to Safeway for some items I was going to pick up in a couple of days. They had four colors of nail polish, but I wanted black, and thankfully once Rite-Aid was open I found a bottle for 99 cents. It did a great job covering the lights, and now there's the just a faint glow in the sides of the blue case when they light up.
Based on people's fingers, I figure this might eventually chip, so I'm prepared to repaint once in a while.

This Kyneton house on a leafy well established street is a variation on the common single room width house typology. Stretching East to West across the site, the dynamic double skillion roofs provide ample northern light into every room in the house. A central spine between the two roofs splits the house into public and private functions and visually connects the entrance of the home to the sculptural forms of the rear garden. The home thermally performs exceptionally due to ample thermal mass to the south, double glazed windows to the north, long eaves, and a subfloor airspace to stabilize the diurnal range. Beautifully put together by the owner David Emery, who brought his cabinet making sensibility to the intricately crafted detailing.

The city that gaming constructed is open for company. Here's the best ways to balance the threats.
Las Vegas presents an odd obstacle for the Nevada Development Authority, a not-for-profit company that motivates economic advancement the southern part of the state. The trouble is that Sin City's enjoyable reputation typically outshines its entrepreneurial cred.
' You have actually probably been here and had a heck of a time,' states Somer Hollingsworth, the agency's president and CEO. 'Our obstacle is to show that there's a service side to this community.'
Vegas sweetens the offer for new service with more advantages than a penthouse suite. The city contends head-on with organisation hubs in California, and has actually successfully stimulated relocations with a powerful combination of competitive real-estate costs, affordable services, strong amenities, a prepared labor force, and scant taxes. The Small Company and Entrepreneurship Council's most recent Small Service Survival Index, which ranked each state by their policy climates for small companies and entrepreneurs, put Nevada on top right behind South Dakota. California was available in 49th.
5 years ago Pamela Jenkins opened a cupcake shop in Las Vegas called The Cupcakery. She had cut her teeth in the business world and jumped at the opportunity to start her own company. Seeing that there weren't that many mom-and-pop operations in the area at the time, she benefited from a broad open market.
' I felt that there was a have to develop something with some body and soul, and really excellent products,' she states. Her cupcake shop has because broadened to numerous locations. 'Now we have this insane cult following out here in Vegas.'
Vegas can be the ideal location to hang a shingle, however it can likewise be the recipe for a hot mess. Before setting up store there, weigh the options.
Beginning an Organisation in Las Vegas: Get to Know the Financial Incentives
Nevada has been facing a spending plan gap, the noteworthy absence of taxes makes it a welcoming place for beginning an organisation or opening a branch. There is no corporate earnings tax, no individual income tax, no franchise tax on income, no estate tax, no gift tax, no unitary tax, and no estate tax. Instead, the state depends on a video gaming tax.
Kevin Lustig is the director of tax services in Las Vegas for the service consulting firm RSM McGladrey. 'I'm looking at something I put together for companies that are thinking about moving here versus other states,' he says. Sales and residential or commercial property taxes are competitive with other states.
The outcome is that businesses move here. Tony Hsieh initially started Zappos.com in San Francisco, for example, however moved the operations to Las Vegas due to the fact that the pool of employees was currently oriented around client service, and the city was a lot more budget friendly.
Diversifying the service neighborhood in Las Vegas is such a leading priority for economic advancement that a nongaming operation will likely qualify for a range of inexpensive or totally free services. The Nevada Small Company Development Center, a service help program located at the University of Nevada, uses complimentary services that include assistance establishing a business plan, getting certified, and included. Hollingsworth says the Nevada Development Authority can establish roundtables to assist new services get oriented. 'An unbelievable company with jobs and high earnings -; if essential we can get the governor to show up.'
Starting a Service in Las Vegas: Show Legitimacy With a License
Nevada is where gaming grew up. Las Vegas's vibrant history has actually left a lasting imprint on the licensing process. Companies thought about 'fortunate' work out beyond ones that sell liquor to include pawn stores, previously owned dealers, and adult services.
' Some 40 years ago the state decided that no the mob would be associated with betting and liquor and then officials extended that plan to other services,' states Mary Drury, an attorney with the full-service law office Marquis and Aurbach, which is based in Las Vegas. Drury is chair of the transactional group, which works on the formation of business. 'It's not to keep individuals out, however just to make sure that the people running those companies do not have felony backgrounds and are economically ideal, that they're not a front.'
Even 'gold celebrations' -; sort of like Tupperware parties -; are heavily controlled, Drury states, since check over here they almost fall under the secondhand dealer category. Be prepared to prove that a clean record is really clean.
Starting a Service in Las Vegas: Benefit From the Purchaser's Market
The economic crisis has have a peek at this web-site actually swept through Vegas, developing significant offers on business genuine estate. Now, protecting numerous months of complimentary lease on a five-year lease has actually ended up being a possibility.
' When it was boom times, the square foot expense was $4 to $6 per square foot,' states Larry Vierra, director of the Nevada Small Business Development Center in Las Vegas. 'That same property now you can get for $1, $2 a foot.'
Laura Herlovich owns the Las Vegas public relations firm PR Plus, whose clients include the pawnshop owners on the History Channel show Pawn Stars, the Grammies, the Acid Rock Hotel and Gambling Establishment, and the Cupcakery. When Herlovich began the company in 1991, it was the very first one in Vegas that wasn't being run from an extra bed room, she states. Among her early workplaces was positioned in a garage.
Recently PR Plus updated to a workplace complex near to the Strip and highway 215, a circular path around the city. 'We're paying less for our area monthly than we were in the garage,' Herlovich says. The price is 99 cents a square foot.
Previously, renters would have to pay out of their own pocket to put branding on a building exterior. Now landlords are accepting pay for the buildout on a 'gray shell' space that's essentially a blank slate with cement floorings, bare walls, and an empty structure façade. Discover out how far property managers are prepared to go to make you a satisfied renter if you can secure financing from a bank.
Starting a Business in Las Vegas: Select the Right Area
I need an office to go to, people to inspire me,' she states. Eventually, having individuals around the boxes of the King's clothes made the company too anxious, so she set out to find a new location.
The city is so diverse that in order to discover a perfect location, it's essential to look closely at every community to find the ideal fit. Howard Hughes prepared the 22,500-acre Summerlin neighborhood 20 years ago and now the area has plenty of upper middle class homeowners. It ranks as one of the very best locations to reside in the country.
' Certainly you want an amazing area,' Jenkins states. 'There are definitely places in Vegas where you 'd put one of our shops and it would not work.' To recognize which locations would, she did her research study and chosen locations with higher earnings demographics and strong retail anchors that might generate clients ready to pay several dollars for cupcakes. The Cupcakery has a store to the east in Henderson and one in Summerlin.
Herlovich decided on workplace two blocks from one of her customers, the Acid rock Hotel and Casino. When John Entwistle, the bass guitarist for The Who, died at the hotel of a cocaine-induced cardiovascular disease in 2002, Herlovich might get there quickly. 'Time was of the essence in keeping that story under control.'
Picking the ideal area in Vegas can also translate into important direct exposure. The Nevada Development Authority has a permanent booth at regional exhibition. 'This year we'll have a million and a half people walk by that cubicle,' Hollingsworth states.
Starting a Business in Las Vegas: Recognize and Maintain Competent Employees
This summer the joblessness rate in the city Las Vegas area soared to 14.5 percent, outmatching the nationwide rate. Such a terrible statistic suggests the location has a large talent swimming pool, consisting of graduates from local colleges and universities.
' That's expense beneficial for employers,' Drury states. The lack of a state income tax makes that pay go even more, indicating new organisations can discover high quality people for less than exactly what it would cost in another state.
Still, Vegas is a short-term town. Vegas tends to draw opportunists who come to make cash and get out quickly.
Beginning a Service in Las Vegas: Protect the Workplace with Strong Facilities
Vegas is in the desert, so anyone relocating there definitely has to have air conditioning that works -; inside and, depending on the organisation strategy, outside.
Jenkins says her cars and truck just registered 112 degrees on the interior. 'You do not leave cupcakes in an unattended cars and truck for 2 minutes,' she says. 'Those pups are liquefied. You could consume them with a straw.' To keep her company from dissolving, she set up blackout shades and utilizes refrigerated vans.
It gets so hot you actually can't have individuals working in the office. Due to the fact that Vegas is such a comparatively brand-new city, however, even the 'old' structures normally have reliable features. The city has dark fiber in spades.
Sin City draws all kinds of characters. Keeping workplaces safe has been a top priority for Herlovich since burglars got into her old office 3 years ago, taking valuable souvenirs. The alarm on the door was supposed to instantly make an emergency call, however it failed.
'It might have been the safest location and you move in, and some insane crack addict breaks through your door,' Herlovich states. To find a safe area she suggests taking a look at the criminal offense statistics for that area, along with the demographics. Choosing a reputable alarm business to protect the office news is also important.
Fifteen years ago, a major roadway called Rainbow still had unpaved sections that were generally dirt, Drury explains. Ever since, those stretches have been brought into the 21st Century at a quick speed. 'Vegas has actually truly been an advantage,' she says.
The city locations in the top 10 fastest growing cities in the nation. New residents moving in on an everyday basis are looking for everything from cleaning up clothes and products to healthcare services and hairstyles. And just believe: your organisation could be there to invite them.

The search for family history can point us to interesting pastimes, practices, and occupations that our ancestors followed. It caught my attention when my husband's grandfather told me that his Garrett family used to herd turkeys in Tennessee.
During the 1820's, 30's, 40's the John Garrett family was living in Benton county Tennessee, about ninety miles west of Nashville. Farming was their primary pursuit, but they may also have done some building in the area. Isaac Walker Garrett , born in 1831, was the second son of John Garrett and his wife Jemima White Garrett. He grew up in Benton county Tennessee, and his grandson, Otis Garrett, gave me this little clue to some of his youthful activity:
When the Garrett family was still living in Tennessee IW Garrett had a horse, a dog and a gun and he travelled around buying Turkeys and driving them to New Orleans to market.
When I closely considered this statement, I found it pretty amazing! - first, because the Garrett family removed from Tennessee to Illinois in the early 1850's, suggesting that Isaac Garrett was a rather young lad when he pursued this turkey-herding avocation, and second because New Orleans was five hundred miles to the south. Driving turkeys five hundred miles would have been no small feat!
I had a great time reading through several turkey-herding "memories" posted on the internet. One article suggested that turkeys were sometimes moved great distances overland. For the Garretts in Middle Tennessee, it seems slightly more plausible that their turkeys were gathered locally, and driven west to the Mississippi River for a boat ride to New Orleans. But, I can't confirm that scenario. Whatever the case, the process of moving, hundreds, or sometimes thousands of turkeys, must have required monumental patience, tempered with a dose of good humor. Turkeys are not counted among the most intelligent of creatures, and it took quite an effort to keep them moving along in the right direction. Apparently, young boys were often hired to scatter feed, and entice the turkeys forward. This might have been an appropriate task for a boy with "a horse, a dog and a gun". Otis Garrett's statement describes the "buying" and "driving" of turkeys though; which might suggest the entrepreneurial pursuit of a young man.
It is unlikely we will ever know just what role young Isaac Garrett played in the movement of turkeys in 19th Century Tennessee. But, the memory of driving turkeys to market must have come out of a real experience. So, the next time we are enjoying our Thanksgiving turkey we can consider the challenge of the Great Turkey Walks, and appreciate Isaac Garrett's commitment.
For more details on Isaac Walker Garrett, visit his page at Family Stories, pamgarrett.com.

He intends to herd a huge flock of bronze turkeys all the way from his home in eastern Missouri to the boomtown of Denver, where they'll fetch a mighty price. In the year 1860, the hazards of such a trek are many - how does one shepherd the birds across a river, for instance? - but Simon is undaunted. Accompanied by a faithful drover, and eventually to be joined by two boon companions, he undertakes the biggest journey of his young life, in this high-spirited Wild West adventure by an acclaimed author of historical fiction.

Coffs Coast Cosmedics offers a variety of anti-ageing skin care products. Well known, clinically proven formulas can be combined with cutting edge skin technology like Aspect Dr. and Skinmedica, Skin Care range. Suitable for even the most sensitive skin, the range includes peels and skin treatments specifically tailored to treat numerous skin conditions including acne, rosacea, eczema and hyperpigmentation.
The middle layer (Dermis) of our skin is the support structure. It contains collagen, elastin and other biological substances including hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid keeps our skin plump and hydrated. As we age, these substances decrease. The elastin fibres become loose. They then form as wrinkles, fine lines and folds.
What are muscle relaxants and how do they work?
Muscle relaxants are a purified protein administered in a few tiny injections to relax wrinkle causing muscles. They have a proven safety record of almost 20 years. Muscle relaxants require no recovery time so you can head straight back to work and no one will know.
What are dermal fillers and are they safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are perfectly safe. They are made from the body's own material, hyaluronic acid. Using an ultra fine needle, tiny amounts of gel are injected into the middle layer of the skin to add volume which smooths out wrinkles and folds.
Dermal filler injections may cause some minor redness and swelling however it can easily be disguised with make-up.
In Australia, strictly only medical doctors or registered nurses are able to perform cosmetic injections. Treatment of cosmetic injectables requires both a skilled hand and a thorough understanding of facial anatomy. Both Dr Lerm and Lisa are committed to providing excellent cosmetic results in a minimally invasive way and both are strong advocates against over-treatment.
What if clients don't want anyone to know?
Privacy and confidentiality are of prime importance. Adequate consultation and treatment time is allocated to prevent overlapping of clients.
Is there anything that clients can do to optimise the results of cosmetic injections?
Following dermal filler injections, it is essential that the client maintains their hydration. Drinking lots of water compliments the treatment by binding to the hyaluronic acid and plumping out the lines. It will also increase the longevity of the product. Clients should also be meticulous with their skin care regime.
