1 St. Philip Catholic Church Altar Servers Guide
2 St. Philip Catholic Church Altar Server Instructions Introduction To be an altar server is a special honor and a great privilege in the Catholic Church. Altar servers today can trace their roots or genealogy to the order of Acolyte, a ministry that once was reserved only for those who were going to be ordained priests. One can look upon being an altar server as a special and unique ministry by which you, a young person, can help to spread the word and the love of Christ through your actions and words. It is not difficult to be an altar server, but there are some things that you must know and remember. The diocesan bishop may permit the liturgical functions of the instituted acolyte to be carried out by altar servers, men and women, boys and girls. Altar servers are not ordained; they are commissioned by their parish priest. The determination that women and girls may function as servers in the liturgy should be made by the bishop on the diocesan level so that there might be a uniform diocesan policy. The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass. This is done through specific actions and by setting an example to the congregation by active participation in the liturgy by their actions, singing of hymns, responses of the people, looking alert and sitting or standing at the appropriate times. General Requirements Servers will be required to vest in alb and cincture as directed. Clothes worn under an alb should be clean, and free of slogans, decals or any other designs which will show through the alb. Required Basic Knowledge of the Mass A server candidate should know the principal prayers of the Mass: The Gloria, Our Father, Nicene Creed, Lamb of God, Lord, I am not worthy and Holy, Holy, Holy. All candidates should be able to recite the basic flow of the mass. They should learn this so as to perform their tasks at the proper times. They should understand all the liturgical items they will be handling and the purpose of each item. See the end of this manual for definitions. All candidates should demonstrate their ability to make use of the tools of the trade such as matches, candle lighters, books and candles, processional cross, preparation of credence table, chalice, mass colors, etc.

6 Holy Mass Explained The two most important parts of the Holy Mass are the Consecration and the Communion. But the Mass as we know is made up of two principal parts - the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Eucharist, plus introductory and concluding rites. 1- Introductory Rites: - Entrance Antiphon - Greeting - Penitential Rite (Penitential prayer, Rite of Blessing & Sprinkling) - Kyrie (Lord, Have Mercy) - Gloria (Glory to God) - Opening Prayer 2- Liturgy of the Word: - First Reading, from the Old Testament, and the Responsorial Psalm, usually by one or two Laymen, man or woman - Second reading from a Letter (Epistle) of the New Testament, usually by a Layman, man or woman - Third Reading, from the Gospels, usually by the Priest, which starts with the Gospel Acclamation (Alleluia) Homily, by the Priest, Silence Profession of Faith (Nicene Creed) or (Apostles' Creed - Children Only) General Intercessions (Prayer of the Faithful): For the Church, Public Authorities, Salvation of the World, Local Community... the sick, the poor Liturgy of the Eucharist: Preparation of the Gifts (Presentation) The priest prepares the altar and the gifts, prays over the bread and wine, and helps the assembly get ready for the tremendous Sacrifice that will take place in an unbloody manner. Includes the following: - Offertory Song... - offering of the Bread and Wine, - Preparation of the Altar - Preparation of the Bread - Preparation of the Wine - Washing of Hands - Invitation to Prayer
7 - Prayer over the Gifts Eucharistic Prayer: Introductory Dialogue Preface Sanctus Roman Canon: Eucharistic Prayer Thanksgiving Acclamation Epiclesis - Invocation of the Holy Spirit to consecrate the Host & Wine Consecration of the Bread... elevation of the Holy Host... adoration to the Holy Host Consecration of the Wine... elevation of the Holy Cup... adoration to the Holy Cup Offering Intercessions Final Doxology Memorial Acclamation Great Amen Communion Rite The Lord's Prayer Rite of Peace (Sign of Peace) Fraction Rite Breaking of the Bread Commingling: The priest places a small part of the Host into the Cup Lamb of God (Agnus Dei ) Personal Prayer Communion of the Priest Communion of the Faithful Silent Prayer Prayer after Communion 4- Concluding Rite: Immediately after the Communion Rite, should there be any announcements, these are made, but should be kept brief. Then just as the people were greeted at the beginning of the Mass, so now the presider greets the people again and blesses them in one of three forms, the simple one, or at his discretion a more solemn Blessing, particularly at various seasons or on specific feast days, or a Prayers over the people. Includes the following: Blessing Dismissal Entrance Procession People stand up, the priest goes to the Altar... Entrance hymn may be said by the faithful or sung
8 Greeting In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you. Penitential Act My brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the Sacred Mysteries, let us call to mind our sins: I confess to Almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and saints, and you here present, to pray for me to the Lord our God. May Almighty God have Mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life. Amen. Lord have mercy... Christ have mercy... Lord have mercy The Gloria (Hymn of praise and repentance) Glory to God in the Highest, and Peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your Glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer. for you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Profession of Faith - Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in on Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from Heaven (all bow) by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontious Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in Glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Invitation to pray Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father... May the Lord
9 accept the sacrifice at your hands, for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his Church. The Eucharistic Prayer The Lord be with you... And also with you. Lift up your hearts... We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God... It is right to give him thanks and praise. Preface: It is indeed fitting and right, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give thanks to You, Lord, Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, who with Your only-begotten Son and the Holy Spirit are one God, one Lord... (Here the Priest says the appropriate Preface. This is part of the Preface of the Holy Trinity). Sanctus Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are filled with your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest Epiklesis (Invocation of the Holy Spirit And so, Father, we bring you these gifts. We ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit, that they may become the body and blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate this Eucharist. The Consecration: The Lord's Supper The day before he suffered, he took bread in his sacred hands, and looking up to heaven, to you, his almighty Father, he gave you thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples and said: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you. When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith: 1- Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. 2- Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in Glory. 3- When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in Glory. 4- Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free. You are the Savior of the world. Final doxology Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever.
10 The great AMEN Through Him, and with Him, and in Him, is to You, God the Father Almighty, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory, forever and ever. AMEN!. Rite of Communion Priest: Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the word our Savior gave us: The Our Father: Priest and Laymen: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come: Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Priest: Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Laymen: For the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Peace: Priest: Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: I leave you peace, my peace I give you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom where you live for ever and ever. Amen. The peace of the Lord be with you always. And also with you. (Let us offer each other the sign of peace). Lamb of God: Priest and Laymen: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace. Communion of the Priest: Lord Jesus Christ, with faith in your love and mercy, I eat your body and drink your blood. Let it not bring me condemnation, but health in mind and body. Communion of the Faithful: Priest: This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper. Laymen: Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed. The Holy Host offered: The Body of Christ... Amen When the Cup is offered: The Blood of Christ... Amen

A whopping £15,000 will be heading to the winning connections of the 2014 EEC Timber Oaks. One thing that is guaranteed this year the trophy will have a new winning trainers name on it. One of the five trainers represented; Mark Wallis, Paul Young, Pat Flaherty, Alec Stone or Lynn Cook are about to realise a dream and win this prestigious classic for the first time. It's got a rich history and was first run all the way back in 1927. There's been lots of changes since Three Of Spades took that inaugural victory at White City. The biggest change is no doubt the switch to move it North to Belle Vue, Manchester in 2013. It's proved a great decision and without question greyhound racing fans have been treated to a thrilling competition.
Cashen Maureen is the hot favourite and looks to be all the rage to take this years crown. The Mark Wallis trained daughter of Cashen Legend has never looked back since her first-round defeat at the hands of Jaytee China. A sensational 8L victory in a calculated 27.41 in the Quarter-Final was followed up by a 3.5L victory in a super calculated 27.39 in her Semi-Final. All eyes will be on her and if the track was rated fast you'd have to consider the track-record of 27.20 set in 2007 by Barnfield On Air could be in real danger.
It's a high class final and Mark Wallis is double handed also sending out Evanta Evita who looks to be improving all the time. Earlier in the year Mark sent her out to win seven races on the spin and although not back to that sparkling form there's been hints that she could be returning to something like that level after her seasonal break. If she was to turn up here at her very best she's more than capable of giving any bitch in the country a run for their money.
Paul Young sends out Jaytee Osprey who arrived in the UK with an impressive Irish card. She went well in the Irish Derby beating a quality field in the third-round which included Lenson Sanchez and Droopys Norris. Just three runs in the UK and she is open to further improvement. A best time of 27.69 means she is a live contender and will have her supporters. The last Romford trainer to win this event was Peter Payne in 1986 with Sullane Princess, Paul Young and his supporters will be hoping that run is about to come to an end here.
Greenwell Lark is lining up in her second Oaks final having run so well in this competition last year. Pat Flaherty will be hoping she can go one better than her 2nd to Droopys Danneel last year. She was impressive in defeat in the Semi-Final behind Cashen Maureen and they had pulled right away from the 3rd Alma Chic. Let's not forget Lark was also a Scottish Derby finalist last year and possesses a touch of real class. Pat Flaherty must be extremely proud of what she's achieved in her career but a win here would be the icing on the cake.
Nottingham have never had a trainer win this great race. Alec Stone sends out Alma Chic, she's done remarkable to make the final and Alec and his team deserve huge credit. Likewise with Lynn Cook who's represented by Bromwich Sue, she ran a cracker to win her Quarter-Final and was not beaten far in her Semi-Final.
It is set to be an exciting final not only does fame and fortune await the winner but they will surely also embark on an exciting career in the breeding paddocks once they've retired from racing. Get yourself to Belle Vue to see who will be crowned the 2014 EEC TIMBER OAKS CHAMPION!
ECC Timber Oaks final 21.19
T1 Jaytee Osprey (11-2)
T2 Alma Chic (50-1)
T3 Bromwich Sue (14-1)
T4 Evanta Evita (7-2)
T5 Cashen Maureen (m) (8-15)
T6 Greenwell Lark (w) (10-1)

We spent several lovely days here. There was some great snorkeling around the north end of the bay. We were also able to take a hike up a hill on a horse trail and Steve scrambled up the hill behind us in the bay we were in for some pictures. There is a small tienda, store, here which is the only store for miles. Only 6 families live in this small fishing village and getting to and from the area is a long dirt road to the highway. There is one restaurant that we visited with our friends from sv Tappan Zee one evening as well as a new gentleman we met in La Paz, Roy from sv Mabrouca. We had Parrotfish and it was grilled in an aluminum pocket with vegetables, rice, tortillas and salsa. Wonderful! Charlotte and Steve (Americans) were running it since Jaunito (sp?), the owner, was off in La Paz provisioning. Charlotte and Steve have been living here for 5 years and love it. Charlotte is teaching 4yr old Angel but she did tell us that there are two middle school children here and 12 or so kindergarten children, wow!

A deal has been reached for the evacuation of Syrian opposition fighters from the last district under their control in the central city of Homs, the provincial governor told AFP Tuesday.
"We will implement the agreed deal in stages, with 200-300 armed men leaving in the first stage... starting on Saturday," Talal Barazi said.
Also it is reported that Some 172 wanted militants turned themselves in to the Syrian authorities in Homs as the army continues to inflict heavy losses on the terrorists and advances in several fronts in the province, FNA reports.
Government sources said the militants laid down arms ad surrendered to the competent authorities in Homs.
The Syrian army troops, backed by Russian warplanes, have made major advances in their fight against the Takfiri terrorists across the country in recent week.
Following the Syrian-Russian joint operations, thousands of Takfiri terrorists have also fled Syria to Jordan, Turkey and Europe.

Intermarket Analysis for the Dollar Index
03/16/2010 12:01 am EST
Focus: FOREX
I wanted to highlight a few quick recent charts of how the US dollar index positively correlates (moves in the same direction) with the three-month Treasury bill discount rate.
It's not the most fascinating topic, but it's definitely important to know of this relationship, so let's take a look at a couple of recent charts. First, a "zoomed in" view of the recent action:
You can view this comparison on charts with the following symbols:
1) IRX for the three-month T-bill discount rate (short term)
2) USD (US dollar index—a basket of six forex pairs)
What's interesting is that—relatively—the indexes move almost in lock step with each other, which makes sense.
While this isn't the Fed funds rate, in general, higher rates translate into a more attractive (expensive) currency, and lower rates translate into a weaker currency for a country.
We're seeing this in the recent charts of short-term Treasury yields and the dollar index, as expected.
This is in line with talk of the Fed "eventually" (at some point in the future) raising the Fed funds rate, but that is an entirely separate discussion.
Let's step the chart back to see the one-year comparison in yields and the dollar index:
In both charts, the US dollar index (in green) is scaled on the left side of the chart, while the three-month T-bill discount rate is scaled in percentage terms on the right side.
Thus, the current 1.4 value corresponds with 1.4%.
The three-month T-bill rate—and shortly after, the dollar index—bottomed at the end of 2009 to give us the current simultaneous rallies we're seeing.
I wanted to call this to your attention as an interesting comparison and method to sharpen your intermarket analysis skills.

You know I give out a weekly "Award of Shame" and it's serious but I try to present it while being tongue-in-cheek. Yesterday's went to "White Men Howling At the Moon". Apparently some of them feel their death grip on power slipping and they must maintain control – or else. Historically we've seen what those with power will do to maintain order and exert control over others. We saw the emergence of the Klu Klux Klan after the period of forced enslavement ended. We see the continued rage-a-thon by the Republicans against the current Democratic President that is being supported by corporate media.
Now we have the murder of Dr. George Tiller, an OB/GYN in Witchita who was shot to death while at church. Let's chew on that one for a minute. The man was at church and murdered by another (white) man who didn't like the fact that amongst all of the services he provided, one of them was pregnancy termination. Abortions are a controversial subject to be sure. I do believe that if men could get pregnant all the fighting over reproductive choices would not be an issue. Let's get to nitty gritty, shall we? Personal feelings and religious dogma aside this has always been about control over what a woman (or girl) can and can NOT do with her own body.
From having sex to engaging in sex work, laws and religion interpreted by men from a male perspective for the benefit of men have usually ruled the day. Women who were independent thinkers have been branded witches. The role of women who were early followers of Christ have been downplayed by those interpreting the Bible. The Inquisition focused on courtesans. The Pope wanted Queen Elizabeth I assassinated. Women don't get pregnant by themselves but they bear the burden of living with whatever consequences occur.
In a perfect world there'd be no need for abortions. Women wouldn't be raped, molested or abused either. Governments – esp the United States would actually put their money where they claim their values are and provide top-notch (free or low cost) health care, child care and paid time off for both parents. Housing wouldn't cost some people 2/3s of their income. We wouldn't have to work 50+ hours just to try to make ends meat. Now I'm certain in this capitalistic, material-possession obsessed country living below one's means has a profound effect on the self-esteem of many. Yet why allow companies to keep putting out new shiny unaffordable objects every six months?
The President made a statement about how "acts of violence" don't resolve the "difficult issue of abortion", but this is about domestic terrorism! Health care providers should never have to be forced to decide whether to assist others when their own personal safety is at stake be it from a war-torn area, to a lower-income neighborhood to gender-based services. Obama needs to make it clear these acts will not be tolerated in this country anymore.
Dr. Tiller had been under constant threat, his clinic bombed and he'd been previously shot! Operation Rescue – which should be classified a terrorist organization – posted Dr. Tiller's home address and church. Yet he still provided care. Please tell me why law enforcement doesn't take it up a notch or three when such an act of violence occurs? It may be about a medical facility today but will be about a power plant tomorrow if they don't learn to respond to these attacks appropriately.
Where's a woman to go if providers refuse services out of fear of retribution and violence? Or refuse them for "religious" purposes? It isn't going to stop the need for such services. I realize many are opposed to abortion – even those that have them – but this is not the time to stay in your protective bubble. Just like the rise of degradation in music that has specifically denigrated Black women, the tide will keep rising until it reaches your door. Living your life of quiet dignity does nothing to help those exposed to the harshness of reality or a less sheltered and protected existence. When we allow bad things to go unchecked we are in fact contributing towards the demise of the greater society as a whole.
Again personal beliefs and religion aside we have the (concept of) separation of church and state for a reason. We who have been marginalized in some way must take special heed to not turn on others lest we wind up in an even worse predicament than before. Those of us who know better must not shut our doors and stick fingers in our ears until "it all goes away". That's about recognizing how the actions of militant groups, to television commentators making up controversies, to how the "entertainment" industry reinforces a gutter mentality is a threat to our greater society as a whole. That's not focusing on negativity – it's a reality check. We have to see these actions as another battle in a very long war being waged in this country. If successful it will spread to other things that some of us hold dear. By then it will be too late. We'll have no one else to blame but ourselves if we stood by watching passively as the world crashed around our feet.

Polini SPX intake and a Hutchinson "Race" belt
Preparing for surgery.. Beer, no kids at home, mood lighting etc..
The difference between the stock intake and the polini, pretty significant.
There was a small kink on the Polini that i dremeled away, can't hurt to smooth things out..
I need to get some new reeds to replace the stock one's wich work but doesn't match up to the new intake.
Three hours of carnage, you need to remove the whole damn engine to get to replace the intake..
But everything came togheter nicely, took it outside and it*s a kitten, purrs after one kick. Much better than the Gurtner carb that needed a lot of coaxing/ to run. To the Gurt's defense i must say that it felt smother when hitting the pipe some reason, less jerky..
And Pug is kinda fast now. The happy meter wich probably is pretty of tops out at 80kmh/50mph and
that's where the needle lands after a bit of open road throttling. Can't be sure without some sort of verifiacation though. chase car and gps

GAYLORD - Officers with the Gaylord City Police are investigating the theft of eight sets of tires and wheels which were stolen early this morning (Monday) from vehicles parked at Gaylord Ford, 1928 S. Otsego Avenue.
Value of the stolen rims and tires, and damage to vehicles caused during the larceny, was estimated at several thousand dollars per car. Damage was reported to outside lights after electric lines were cut by thieves near the targeted vehicles.
Officers said a trailer, stolen from the Gaylord U-Haul, 2880 S. Otsego Avenue, located next door to the Ford dealership, was recovered in the Detroit area several hours after the larceny, which was discovered around 1:30 a.m. by a city police officer who was on patrol.
This is the second time in the past month thieves have targeted a local car dealership. In August more than $30,000 in stereo and GPS systems were stolen from seven vehicles parked at the Feeny Chrysler Dodge dealership at 1001 Mankowski Road.

I always say this, beans truly are a vegetarian's best friend! Packed with fiber, protein, and a ton of other nutrients, beans are always my go-to. What I love about bean dishes is that they really help me out on busy days because I can make a batch and it stores really well in the refrigerator or freezer. Lobia masala is a traditional northern indian dish made with black-eyed peas. I love that each bean dish has it's own flavor and texture. Black eyed peas tend to thicken quicker than other beans and has a softer texture. This recipe uses tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger and indian spices such as cumin, coriander and cinnamon. The best part is that it's a one pot dish. Hope you enjoy!
You will need:
- A pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker, the beans will take a really long time to cook. (Canned beans are an acceptable alternative in this instance, but lacks the flavor of dried beans.)
- 1 cup dried black eyed peas
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste, or 1/2 inch numb ginger, grated, and 1-2 garlic cloves, grated
- cumin powder
- coriander powder
- red chili powder (or cayenne)
- turmeric
- 1/2 a cinnamon stick
- Optional pinch of garam masala
- Cilantro and fresh red pepper (capcicum) to garnish
To Prepare:
- Rinse and soak black-eyed peas for at least 4 hours, overnight preferred
- In the pressure cooker itself, heat 2 tbsp of oil.
- Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and wait until they sputter.
- Add onions, stir
- Then add ginger-garlic paste and sauté til translucent.
- Add spices: 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder (or more if desired), 1/2 tsp turmeric , and 1/2 cinnamon stick.
- Then add tomatoes, sauté until the tomatoes reduce a bit.
- Add the black eyed peas, add water and 1-2 tsp of salt
- Fill enough water to cover beans by 1 inch, but not too much or the pressure cooker will spew out spicy water.
- Close the pressure cooker and set to high. When you hear the first whistle, reduce to Medium.
- Allow to cook for 10 more minutes.
- Run pressure cooker under water or allow to cool completely before you open. Stir and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken.
- At this stage you can add a pinch of garam masala and garnish with cilantro if desired. I also garnished with red pepper for a fresh bite.
- Serve with chapatis or rice!
This will serve a family of 4 and yield plenty for leftovers.
Prep time: 15 minutes (excluding soaking)
Cook time: 30 minutes

I need to do this
And I have made another list!!
We are off in a couple of weeks to spend Christmas in WA with family. I have a few things to do before I can complete packing my case.
1. D3 left her wedding dress here and it needed to be dry-cleaned. To do so, the beads on the front had to be removed. I need to sew them back on before it leaves here.
2. I am crocheting myself a summer cardigan. It is coming along well. Just about to start the waistband.
3. I have always been keen to make some crocheted flowers. My sunhat is going to be revamped. I took off the original band and plan to replace it with a row of coloured flowers. This should not take long to do, just a bit of fun.
4. I have one Christmas gift left to finish and pop in the post.
Off to it...Dot

thanks to richard for showing me this site: a softer world. i couldn't stop reading.. until i got to the end that is.
i had a really good weekend. we did lots of stuff. among the best/funnest: taking down a tree with a wench and the tree floating on the post and eventually falling on one of us; partying it up on elgin and seeing a fight where one guys head had a huge cut on it; finally getting me some cake.
this week holds a whopping 4 days of work and a trip to kingston for my graduation. this morning was already wasted on an all staff meeting. it was awful. this afternoon will be wasted on surfing the internet and playing minesweeper. thanks for paying me, alcatel.

Letters to the editor: Praise for Hudson Burger Battle; Thanks for picking up the tab
Praise for Hudson Burger Battle
I meant to write this letter years ago when my sons were in hockey, and as tournament director, I was tasked with soliciting donations from businesses in town. The extended community of Hudson would never disappoint and willingly provided water, treats for visiting teams, coffee, discount coupons, etc.
My boys are now long out of hockey, but the community continues to amaze in other ways. My husband and I purchased Burger Battle cards this year to support Bridge for Community Life. We visited one of five restaurants in town each week, and savored each burger. It provided a talking point between myself and my assistant as to what each of us liked best about the burgers, and maybe what we may not have enjoyed (very minor, as each sandwich was delicious). This also provided us an opportunity to try an establishment we may not have gone into otherwise.
Wednesday or Thursday burger night was looked forward to each week. I thank the restaurants that provided a burger for this very wonderful cause (Stone Tap, Seasons, Big Guys, Dick's, Club 304), and I look forward to next year's Burger Battle.
Terri Swinney
A sincere thank you
A sincere thank you to the kind person(s) who secretly paid for our dinner on Friday, Dec. 15 at the Bungalow.
We were totally stunned and delighted that someone expressed Christmas spirit in such a generous way.
We shall certainly pass it on.

A cause for hope
We stand at the end of a year in which our government's ideological rejection of climate and environmental science has wrought long-term damage to public health and the earth, virtually guaranteeing that our children's and grandchildren's lives will be more difficult and dangerous than our own.
I watch the news and connect the dots.
In December the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a report on the accelerated melting of Arctic ice. Emily Osborne, a NOAA researcher, says, "This data shows that the magnitude and the sustained rate of warming of the sea ice decline is unprecedented over the last 1,500 years and likely longer."
The melting of the Greenland ice cap alone adds about 270 billion tons of ice and water to the ocean each year, contributing to sea level rise that threatens coastal areas worldwide.
Also in December came the new United Nations estimate that around 258 million migrants are now living outside their birth countries. This number includes the vast influx of refugees stressing the capacities of host countries to which they've fled. We can attribute a significant portion of these to geographical crises resulting from climate change such as the loss of coastal homeland and economic devastation of drought.
One bright light in this gloom is a New York Times report that German consumers are now sometimes being paid to use power instead of vice versa.
This is a dividend of Germany's far-sighted investment of $200 billion in cleaner electricity sources over recent decades.
Here at least is cause for hope, even in the time of Trump and his regressive promotion of harmful dirty energy sources. There is a way out of the pit we've dug for ourselves. Let's muster the political will to extricate ourselves from this trap in the year ahead.

Normally I only like to share with you places that I've been where I'm able to take my own photos of the food. However, I went to Di Paolo in Gerrards Cross (Bucks) for a big work meal with people far above my station who could decide my future, so I thought a bout of instagramming would probably be frowned upon. With that in mind, I've included photos from their website, but believe me when I type that the food looked equally scrumptious in real life.
This is what I like to call "proper Italian" food. No pizza, high quality hand made pasta, and stylish, modern takes on classics. I had a de-constructed insalata con mozzarella di buffala, with the garnished leaves on one side of the plate, topped with parmesan shavings, and three small balls of mozzarella each topped with a sundried tomato on the other. Absolutely delicious. The main was even better; petto di pollo farcito con pinoli. Corn-fed chicken stuffed with a pine nut stuffing, wrapped in pancetta and roasted, served with cranberries marinated in port and garlic and rosemary sautéed potatoes. Just the memory is causing me to salivate. Mmm.
Brits in the western M25 area, there's no excuse not to go to Di Paolo's. Take a look at the whole menu here and tell me it's not making you hungry. Worth every penny, and the service is wonderful.

Background: The Michigan State University Student Housing Cooperative, (SHC) is an organization that allows students to own shares in and be part-owners of their homes. Because it is a student-owned operation, there is no "middleman," no landlord, and costs remain low. There are more than 12 homes near campus available to students, varying in size and personality.
Problem: The organization struggles to fill spots in houses during the summer and school semesters, mainly because many students are not aware that the SHC exists. Even those who are familiar with it do not fully understand the advantages of being part of the SHC. The solutions should be effective on a very small or no budget.
Strategy: Target students currently not living in the SHC, especially those who may be dealing with high rent costs, or paying a lazy landlord who never fixes that leaky faucet. The goal is to create awareness in the SHC. Some tactics include creating postcards to hand out or leave at local establishments, as well as posters and/or radio spots. Guerrilla advertising would also be used to attract students' attention.
"Common Sense" Lines
If going to college means you're smart, then why are you paying so much for rent?
Parking is free when you live close enough to walk to class.
You don't need a designated driver when you live close enough to walk home.
Why should you have to pay rent after you move out?
This is one example of a guerrilla message for students. It was inspired by the high cost of parking tickets near campus.
Another guerrilla tactic would be to send a letter that appears to be from the local Police Department, notifying the student that he was cited a ticket for drunk driving. The piece would go on to explain the many diverse advantages of living in the SHC, (emphasizing the benefit of being within walking distance of the downtown area), and a call to action.
Resolution: I created many mailings and posters for SHC, out-of-pocket, and distributed them to students and on billboards around campus. The pieces were copies of hand-drawn posters and mailings. I was interested to find that, after most posters were cleared from the halls of the buildings I had posted in, the hand-drawn SHC posters remained. The cleaners were hesitant to remove something that had such a personal touch.

The morning started off a bit rough due to some stomach issues that both the hubby and I were experiencing but, after a little bit of rest. We were both ready to head to work.
Generally, I dread Mondays because our kids forget everything we taught them on Friday. I know that usually it is not their fault and that their home environments are difficult but, it is still a discouraging way to start the week. This week was no different. However, I got three new students during the course of first period. (Thank God!) AND! My Egyptian student was back from celebrating Eid on Friday. I was really pleased to see him return to school because, he doesn't speak, read, or write much English. The first week of school was incredibly difficult, frustrating and confusing for him. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a teenager in a strange country, in a strange school, where he doesn't speak the language. Not only did he come to school today but, he came to school and asked for extra help. I taught two periods of Algebra using Google Translator. (In case you are ever in need of an accurate English to Arabic translator, Google is great!) He was so excited to see that I found a way to communicate with him. I am glad to see him excited about learning.
As I am typing this the hubby and I are watching the conclusion of the Ravens/Jets game. While I am a NYer, the hubby is from Maryland. I happen to root for the Raven because a) I like the color of their uniforms b) I generally root for the underdogs. In my non-expert opinion they are the underdogs because they aren't from NY. Anywho - it was nice to relax and enjoy the game (and the Chinese food that went with it!)

The Projects We Are Looking Forward To. Lagos-Badagry Expressway
Badagry 10-Lane Expressway Construction Project
The proposed 10-lane Badagry Expressway in Lagos State has attracted the interest of giant construction firms.
Expected to begin at Eric Moore in Surulere and terminate at Badagry, the 60.3 kilometre road would incorporate light rail transport and Bus Rapid Transit facilities.
The response to the state government's call for bids is described as overwhelming, not just because of the number of bids received but also for the pedigree of the companies showing interest in the project.
When the bids were opened last week, 10 companies reportedly indicated interest in either constructing segments of the road or handling the whole project.
Firms bidding for the entire stretch of the proposed expressway (Eric Moore-Mile 2- Agbara-Badagry) include Arab Contractors, Hi-Tech Construction, Moreno, Salini Nigeria Limited and the Ugur BAS/China Harbour Engineering Construction Consortium.
Bids for the Eric Moore-Mile 2 segment came from P.W. Nigeria and Key-Based Ventures, while Chinese Construction Engineering Company expressed interest in the Mile 2-Agbara-Badagry portion, the same stretch that attracted bids from CGGC Global Project Nigeria and Lekon Engineering Service Limited.
The Badagry Expressway project is conceived as a public-private partnership (PPP), and is seen as potentially proffering solution to Lagos State's massive infrastructural challenges.
Construction industry analysts cite the example of the Ugur BAS/Chinese Harbour Engineering Construction (Ugur BAS/CHEC) consortium in this regard.

The consortium combines local know-how with international reach, and includes lead contractors, financiers and supervising engineers.
The lead contractors are Ugur BAS, a Nigerian construction company with affiliation to Turkey, and China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), a company that is ranked among the top ten civil engineering contractors worldwide.
Badagry Expressway is expected to be completed within 48 months.

But, to really make money online promoting a MLM or network marketing program you need to know what marketing mistakes you need to avoid, what Internet business tools you must have to operate your business like a pro, what marketing skills you must learn before starting any advertising campaign, and you need to know what Internet marketing strategies are proven to deliver the best response or web conversions. don't worry I'm going to give you all that information below and on part 2 and 3 of this blog post.
MLM or Network Marketing Mistakes.
First I need to tell you to forget most of the marketing techniques teach by the company you are promoting, because most of this firms will teach you the same old tactics that maybe use to work before, but in this world full of on your face advertising you need to be careful on how you approach your prospects, this people watch advertisements all over the place and now you want to do the same... To make it in this rapid world of business you need to be creative and think about innovative ways to get your message to your audience. So, please avoid these mistakes:
1.- Promoting your MLM business and products to your family and friends:
Offline or online I recommend you, don't do it! You don't want to be that guy in the party that everyone want to keep away from because his talking about his business opportunity or products on each conversation. This is not the way to do business, so leave them alone... so you don't loose your friends and family.
2.- Putting all your fate and business in the hands of your sponsor:
Don't do this because you don't know if you sponsor will quick or not, learn as much as you can from them, if there anything you can learn, but focus in your own marketing plan.
3.- Buying business opportunity leads to build your network downline:
First you need to know that most of this leads are not hot leads, they still cold ones, because they don't know you are going to contact them. Another think is you need to know exactly where and how this was compile, and how old it is. Plus, top network marketing reps don't buy leads they generate there own list of hot prospects.
4.- Cold calling and cold door knocking:
Most cold call and cold door leads list don't convert well, in fact their conversion rate is less than 0.3% or worst. Just build your own list of hot pre-qualify leads, which are most likely to purchase your product or sign up for the business.
5.- Promoting the MLM company and their products:
This is a huge mistake that most offline and online MLMers make, they put all their marketing efforts in promoting the company's affairs, but what if the company goes out of business, then all your efforts were for nothing... Instead you need to become the authority and the brand. I will explain this later in details.
6.- Going to those time and gas waisting seminars:
If you plan to network with other business people at those company network marketing seminars looking to build some partnerships or joint ventures then is OK to go to a few of those events, and track your success factor. But, if not, you will be waisting your time. You can't get sales or build your downline there, because most people there already part or want to be part of the business under some else. So, save some gas and invest on marketing for yourself.
7.- Trying to sell without complete knowledge of the company and their offerings:
This is very important. You can't sell something without knowing everything you should know about the business and the products. as a sales person you need to show authority with your knowledge. So invest some time in learning all the company's materials, and even do some research online to gain even more information about the market.
8.- Buying newspaper classified that reach non-targeted viewers:
This is what is called "Fishing Marketing", which is a way to make a none targeted mass promotion on a big amount of regular people, and see if you can get a fishes from the crowd. There are ways to make a free strategic fishing marketing campaign online that delivers better results, but for now just keep away from this strategies, specially offline where you need to invest money and time. Focus on targeted prospects, and that's it.
9.- Using PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising or Adwords without knowing how to use it right:
PPC or Adwords are a great online advertising channel that can send your business to the roof when is use the right way. If you don't know how it works you can drain your company's and personal budget in no time. So, get a course and learn how to do it right before jumping in. A good training ebook you can download is Google Magic Formula. Also check the list of resources at the end of the post.
10.- Using mass mailing promotions to build your business:
Same as posting classified ads in regular newspapers... Avoid this, specially online where is called "Spam", this is illegal and can cost you the business, your internet service, a huge fee, and even jail time. Don't worry there is the ethical way to do email marketing and mail order marketing.
I will continue on part 2 with the right tools you need to make money online with MLM.

Willie Nelson is more less known for two things: country music and marijuana. They're the two things he does every day, and in a new interview with Rolling Stone, he encourages everyone to try the same regimen—especially U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Sessions, who along with President Trump harbors a well-known itch to resurrect the deeply disastrous American "war on drugs," has said on multiple occasions that weed is very bad, going so far as to theorize that "good people don't smoke marijuana."
That's not going to sit too well with the 84-year-old troubadour, who's currently on the road (again) to support his excellent new album, God's Problem Child. Asked about Sessions's claim that marijuana is "only slightly less awful than heroin," Nelson had this to say:
"I wonder if he's tried both of them. I don't think you can really make a statement like that unless you tried it all. So I'd like to suggest to Jeff to try it and then let me know later if he thinks he's still telling the truth."
Nelson has himself entertained the idea of running for office, mostly at the urging of friends and fans, saying, "I came close a couple times. And then I sobered up."
As for the new administration in Washington, Nelson just thinks it's a matter of the wrong man for the wrong job. "I knew him back when he owned some casinos," he says of Trump, "and I worked for him. He always paid me. I had no problems at all. I think he's stepped into a different world. Like he said this morning, "I had no idea this job was going to be this hard." It's easy when you can just go bankrupt anytime you want to and say, "I'll check you later." But that's hard to do when you're president of the United States."
While you're here, check out this excellent video of Nelson performing "Whisky River," an exclusive from the Paste Cloud captured in his home town of Austin, Texas, in 1984.

Maine Conservationists Worried by Greenland Salmon Harvest
MPBN NEWSConservationists: Greenland's Salmon Quota Threatens Maine Restoration EffortBy Tom Porter - Jun 26, 2015 Tom Porter reports on Maine conservationists' concerns about Greenland's Atlantic salmon quota.A recent decision by fishery regulators in the Danish territory of Greenland is raising concerns for conservationists here in Maine. They're worried that Greenland's newly-established commercial fishing quota could have a devastating impact on efforts to restore endangered Atlantic salmon to Maine rivers.The Atlantic Salmon is described by anglers as "the king of all game fish." "When I caught that first Atlantic salmon, I gave up everything else," says 87-year-old Claude Westfall of Orono. Westfall smiles as he recalls that day on the Penobscot River more than 60 years ago, soon after he moved here from West Virginia."You can fish for trout, you can fish for togue, you can fish for landlockeds and so forth, but they, in no way, match with Atlantic salmon on your line," Westfall says. "You get one on there and you got fast water, you have got quite a fight."For 80 years, the first Maine salmon taken from the Penobscot every year was sent to the White House. Westfall would be the last angler to take part in the tradition, which ended in 1992. By that time, returning salmon populations in New England were in dramatic decline.Nowadays, the Penobscot has the largest population of wild Atlantic salmon in the U.S., but still not many - last year's count was less than 400. But there are signs of progress. Here at the site of the old Veazie Dam heavy construction machinery is preparing the ground for a recreation area, where anglers and boaters can access the now freely flowing river. The removal of the Veazie Dam in 2013, and the Great Works Dam the year before, combined with a new fish lift at Milford a few miles upriver, are enabling more sea-run fish to swim up the Penobscot.Laura Rose Day is executive director of the Penobscot River Restoration Project, which has a led a $64 million effort over the last 11 years to bring Atlantic salmon, and other sea-run fish, back to the Penobscot in greater numbers. So far this year, more Atlantic Salmon have passed through the fish lift than were counted in all of 2014.But it's a fraction of the number needed to ensure survival of the species, she says, and efforts need to be made beyond the mouth of the river. "Success in restoring this river requires a lot of different parties to play important roles," Day says, "and controlling the take of fish in the ocean is extremely important."And that's why Laura Rose Day and other conservationists are worried by commercial fishing activity taking place nearly 2,000 miles away in the Arctic waters off Greenland, which is resisting pressure from the U.S., Canada and the European Union to limit its salmon harvest to "sustainable" levels. At a recent summit organized by the the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization - or NASCO - Greenland awarded itself an annual salmon quota of 45 metric tons for the next three years, more than twice as much as what might have been considered acceptable.Daniel Morris, the U.S. representative at the NASCO summit, believes the salmon quota should be zero, and he's worried about what the effect will be on vulnerable Atlantic salmon populations here in the U.S."There will be U.S. origin fish," Morris says, "and our salmon stocks are in such a precarious state that if we lose 10, 20, 50, 100 fish to the West Greenland fishery, it's a big deal."Sue Scott, of the Atlantic Salmon Federation, describes her reaction the news: "Disappointment, of course, simply because of the devastating impact, especially on the southern populations in the United States and Canada," she says.Maine's Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher has cited scientific estimates that the Greenland fishery is likely to take as many as 100 U.S.-origin salmon every year - most of which return to Maine.Despite such concerns, many still regard this as a step in the right direction by Greenland, whose fishery was largely unregulated before this year."The fact is that we're reducing the fishery a lot," says Katrine Kaergard, who is with Greenland's ministry of fisheries. Kaergard says the new quota of 45 tons is considerably less than the previous harvest, which was officially 57 tons, although most observers think the true figure is closer to 90 tons.To reduce the quota below 45 tons, says Kaergard, would have devastating economic consequences for many of Greenland's 60 or so fishing communities dotted around the huge, sparsely-populated island. "Just to make sure that all settlements in Greenland have the possibility to fish salmon and to sustain their livelihood," Kaergard says.In fact, the 45-ton limit is regarded as pitifully low by the Greenland fishermen, who have called for an annual quota of 1,500 tons. They blame environmental pollution, rather than their fishing activity, as the reason for poor wild salmon numbers in American rivers.
