Police officers have got a new weapon in the long standing battle against dog fouling – spray paint.
'Pick up or pay up' signs have been painted on pavements in hot spot dog fouling areas for the first time in Blackpool.
It is hoped the project will shame dog owners into picking up their dog's mess.
PC Steve Jones, community beat manager for Tyldesley and Talbot wards, decided to pilot the scheme in the resort after the issue was highlighted as residents' main bugbear.
He said: "It's the first time it's been done in Blackpool.
"Dog fouling has been a major issue among the residents of Talbot and Tyldesley wards for a considerable amount of time.
"It really affects people when they are out walking – it is an environmental crime that also poses health risks that can potentially cause blindness.
"We hope by putting stencils down we can educate people about the need for clearing up after their pets.
"It also informs offenders that if caught they will be prosecuted and ultimately fined.
"Doncaster has tried this and has proved that it has made an impact."
More than 150 yellow semi-permanent signs have been painted on Palatine Road, Whitegate Drive, Hornby Road, Reads Avenue after the issue was raised at police and communities together (PACT) meetings.
PCSOs Martin Taylor and Matthew Wetherill joined PC Jones on his painting mission this week.
If the pilot project proves to be a success, it is hoped the scheme could be rolled out to other areas.
PC Jones added: "The paint is semi-permanent so it should last a couple of months. We are going to measure its success by the number of complaints.
"If they lessen then that proves it's working and we will look at investment to get it done again.
"The response we have had from members of the public so far has been very positive."
The £150 cost for the stencils and paint was met by community funding.
John Blackledge, director of community and environmental services, said: "Dog fouling is a long standing issue for our local communities.
"This is the latest tactic we are using to try to make people think about their actions, not only is dog fouling unsightly on our streets and open spaces but it also has health implications.
"We want to educate dog owners so they always clean up after their pet but if that doesn't happen we will issue fixed penalty notices."
Irresponsible dog owners can be handed £80 fixed penalty notices, which can rise to up to £1,000 if not paid immediately.

Alternative Civilian Courts for Domestic Terror Cases
8 June, 2009
By Jerry E. Stephens
New ideas for prosecuting terrorists
"Terrorism" is a word with many and diverse meanings. It comes loaded with significant political and ideological baggage. As a word, it appears to have been used as early as the first century B.C.E. in a warning to the Roman Empire's populace of the approach of warriors of the Cimbri tribe. The "Reign of Terror" was a common English pejorative for the 18th century French Revolution.

Last week there was a baby shower for a woman at church, and I'd been ask to give the devotional. A couple of people have asked for a copy (flattery goes a loooooong way, here at the No Harm Done blog), and so I'm posting it here.
Here is the text of what I said, and a picture I held up for everyone to read. Try to imagine me reading this out loud, while simultaneously trying not to pass out and attempting to hide my shaking hands.
Baby Devotional:
No one's ever asked me to do a devotional like this before, so as a disclaimer, and in the interest of full disclosure I need to make the following things clear:
1. Know that you are listening to a mother who has given her oldest son a reverse Mohawk while trying to cut his hair.
No one's ever asked me to do a devotional like this before, so as a disclaimer, and in the interest of full disclosure I need to make the following things clear:
1. Know that you are listening to a mother who has given her oldest son a reverse Mohawk while trying to cut his hair.
3. A mother who jumped fully-clothed into a YMCA pool to save her 2 year old, who she thought was drowning, but really wasn't.
I'm sure you're beginning to understand why no one's ever asked me to give a devotional before.
Also, know that all of my children are under 13, and so much of my parenting perspective revolves around younger children. But I've always appreciated hearing from mothers who are a few steps ahead on the journey.
God's View of Motherhood
Throughout the Bible, God exalts motherhood: Sarah, Rachel, Jochebed, Deborah, Ruth, Elizabeth and Mary. Scripture makes it clear that motherhood is a great and wonderful thing.
Over and over the Bible communicates that children are a blessing and a gift:
Psa 127:3-4 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.
Genesis 4:1, Eve "conceived and bore Cain and said, 'I have gotten a man from the Lord.'" At the very beginning, Eve knew who was the source of her children. They are gifts from God.
Children," says the Old Testament, "are a heritage from the Lord."
Expectations of Parenthood
We have in our heads, consciously or unconsciously, our own images and expectations of motherhood. We may remember our mothers and plan what we will do similarly or differently from them. We may spend the months of pregnancy planning the nursery, closely observing friends and family members with children, and imagining what our lives will be like when this new life is added.
But no matter how much you read beforehand or plan ahead, you still find yourself home from the hospital with a little one who is completely dependent upon you, thinking, "Now what do I do?" or "Will I ever sleep again?"
Beforehand, you think you're prepared. You think you have an idea of what parenthood is like. But your imaginings usually have little in common with reality. At times like that, and there will be many of them, a sense of humor will be your greatest asset.
We've been working on Brogan's first grade reading and writing skills this year. I've been anxious for him to begin writing sentences. Real sentences. Not sentences that I've dictated to him, but ones that he's generated himself.I remember when my sister and brother were in this stage, and they wrote cute little notes to Mom like "I luv yoo," with all of the phonetic misspellings. Things of that nature. It was sweet and adorable. I was eagerly awaiting that with Brogan.
A couple of weeks ago, that moment finally arrived, and Brogan was so proud of his first sentence that he had to show it to me:
If Brogan had been my first child, I'm sure I would've felt a twinge of disappointment and letdown with this reality that didn't quite meet my expectations. But at this point in my journey, I just thought, "At least it's spelled correctly."
Preparing children for God
Our priority as mothers is to be evangelists in our homes. We need to teach our children God's law, show them their need for a Savior, and then point them to Jesus as the only one who can save them. We need to teach them the Gospel clearly and pray for God to regenerate their hearts.

When we're new parents, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and pressured about this calling as mothers. But remember that when God chose Moses and David, He chose shepherds, men who had been prepared for the tough assignment of leading God's people by leading sheep. God has lent us His children for a short time, so that we may train them for Him. "The job of a mother," as someone has said, "is giving saints to God."
Mothering Changes ME
The most surprising thing about motherhood is how it changes us. I think we never realize how selfish we really are until we have children. Motherhood also changes our perspective of God and His discipline.
When we discipline our children it upsets them and hurts us, but we are training children for God's kingdom. But training requires discipline.
I'm going to read a short passage from Hebrews 12:
"It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom {his} father does not discipline?
"But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
"Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?
"For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He {disciplines us} for {our} good, so that we may share His holiness.
"All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. "
Any father who really loves and delights in his child will discipline him, reprove him, and correct him. Knowing that our discipline comes from a God who loves us and delights in us, should change our response and enable us to feel secure in His love and sovereignty.
In Hebrews 12, God shows us how valuable His discipline is. Of course, I want my children to value discipline as well. Recently, during a trip to WalMart, I had opportunity to bless my children with discipline.
We had run errands in town. The boys behaved very nicely until we got to WalMart. Something about WalMart brings out their inner rascals, and I spent much of the time working on behavior issues instead of getting the shopping done.
Near the end of our trip, I saw Colson sitting in the cart with his head bowed, eyes closed, and hands folded. "How precious," I sighed to myself. When Colson finished praying, he very seriously said, "I was praying that God would make you a nice mommy."
Hopefully Colson was right, and that God is changing me into a nicer mommy. This world is the proving ground for Heaven. While here, God shapes us and changes us through interactions with people and experiences. We have a God-given responsibility to train our children for the Lord, and we are growing along with our children. All the time we're working, He's changing us. Through the process of raising children we are blessed with images and insight in the Lord that we wouldn't have otherwise.

This is the first in what will be an occasional series of posts. Why am I doing this? I don't know :-). I thought some folks might be interested. I notice some write slash with characters who are parents (as do I) and might want to know about the real life counterparts of m/m or f/f couples with kids, if they don't know all about us already. And besides, it's my journal and I can write about what I want.
How do gay men and lesbians have children?
Lots of ways.
There have always been lesbian mothers and gay fathers, for as long as there have been lesbians and gay men (and how long that is depends on how you define lesbian and gay, which is fodder for another post, another time). For most of that time - whenever you think it started - lesbians and gay men with children had them in heterosexual marriages and came out later. Out lesbian and gay parents were sometimes rearing children as singles or in couples, although heterosexist legal decisions meant they often were not able to parent their kids. In any event, issues concerning lesbian and gay parenting were inextricably bound up with issues of divorce, and often of remarriage and step-parenting as well.
Beginning in the 1980s, we saw in this country a huge increase in the number of planned lesbian and gay families - same-sex couples who were choosing to parent together after coming out. Children were being born and reared in lesbian and gay families. This is often referred to as the "Gayby Boom" and it continues to grow. How were we having children and how are we doing it now? Several ways:
Donor Insemination, using a Sperm Bank – Sperm banks were set up to serve infertile heterosexual couples, but now much of their clientele consists of lesbians. Starting in the mid-1980s it became possible for an out lesbian couple to purchase semen from a sperm bank. Before that, lesbians often managed to purchase semen in a closeted manner, either with the collusion of doctors who acted as intermediaries or by finding a male friend to pose as husband. When I started trying to conceive in 1986, there were only a couple of sperm banks where one could be out in the process. Now I think it's a rare sperm bank that won't take openly lesbian customers.
Sperm donors at sperm banks would more accurately be called sperm vendors, since they are paid for their donations. Typical fees are $100 per ejaculation and men usually donate twice a week. Jerking off twice a week and getting $200 for doing so definitely falls under the category of "Nice Work If You Can Get It" in my mind.
Donors are given thorough medical exams and donor semen is tested for a number of things, including HIV. Semen is frozen and quarantined for a period of six months. The donor is required to have an HIV test every 8 weeks to ensure he doesn't seroconvert. If he does, all his banked semen is destroyed.
Prospective parents choose donors from a donor catalogue. Lots of information is available – from physical description to medical history to family background to education, career and hobbies. Most donors are anonymous. Some banks have "yes" donors – anonymous now but a child can contact the donor once s/he reaches 18 (it's only one way – the donor can't contact the child).
Donor Insemination, using a Known Donor - Many lesbian singles and couples make an arrangement directly with a man to be the donor. Insemination is a very low tech procedure. Jerking off into a cup requires no equipment other than the cup, and the insemination itself can be done with the traditional turkey baster, or with "insemination kits" that are easy to come by. I've done insemination at home many times (although we used sperm bank semen) and it's not hard at all. Known donors typically don't charge to donate (although often the prospective parents will pay for his medical exam and tests) so some women choose this because it is the cheaper option. Others want the option for the child to know the donor, or want access to more information than is available through a sperm bank, or want their kids to have the option of a greater matching pool for bone marrow or kidney donation from a donor, should such an issue arise.
Known donors have all sorts of roles in children's lives, depending on the individual choices made by the people involved. Some are family friends, some have an avuncular role, some are "daddy." In some cases, roles change and evolve over time. A man can feel like a sperm donor going into the process but a father later. In some cases that change has been accommodated peacefully within the family, and in some cases it has led to court battles, with varied results.
Donor Insemination, Using an Intermediary – Before sperm banks were generally available to out lesbians, many couples used this method. They'd entrust a friend to find them a donor. The friend would find a man willing to be an anonymous donor and the intermediary would go to his house, pick up the semen and deliver it to the lesbian couple. The donor wouldn't know who the recipients were and they wouldn't know who he was, but the intermediary knew all. In some cases I know of, the intermediary told the donor when he changed his mind and wanted to know "his" child. Then it became a known donor situation. This method is not used much anymore, but I've heard of some women doing it in recent times because of the high cost of donor semen from a sperm bank.
Heterosexual Intercourse – Before sperm banks routinely accepted lesbians, some just had sex with a man – often a stranger - for the purpose of conceiving. I do know of some people who have done that with known donors as well, seeing it as an alternative more in tune with their philosophy than donor insemination, which they view as kind of sterile and artificial.
Adoption – Most planned gay male families and many planned lesbian families bring children into their lives through adoption. Gay couples use the same methods straight couples do – domestic and international; agency and independent, public and private. In the vast majority of cases, only one of the couple can be the legal adoptive parent. How out the couple is in the adoption process varies greatly by state of residence and place of adoption. International adoptions are always closeted.
Surrogacy – Some male couples contract with surrogates to give birth to children for them. Generally this is done when one or both men feels strongly about having a biological connection to the child.
Lesbians and Gay Men Coparenting Sometimes lesbians and gay men choose to have kids together. This can be the case of a single woman and a single men, a lesbian couple and a single man, a gay male couple and a single lesbian or two couples. The individuals decide what the role of the parents will be and how they will conceive (in cases I know it's usually been through the same procedure as donor insemination). Sometimes it starts out as a single man and woman but one or the other of them ends up partnering and the child has more parents than originally planned.

Senate Obstruction in Profile
A respected Trump Justice nominee is held up for more than a year.
Key positions throughout the federal government remain vacant more than 500 days into Donald Trump's Presidency. The President hasn't put forward enough nominees, a mistake the media have focused on. Yet Senate Democrats—and the occasional Republican—have held up qualified nominees at a scale unprecedented in recent history.
No one understands this better than Brian Benczkowski, who was nominated more than a year ago to lead the Justice Department's Criminal Division. Mr. Benczkowski is a highly qualified choice for Assistant...

Hearing about the Coen brother's latest project compelled me to pick up McCarthy's source novel. The premise is simple enough. A Texas game hunter comes across the scene of a massacre – half-dozen Mexicans shot up with automatic weapons, a truck full of heroin, and a leather satchel of 2.4 million dollars.
From there, the book splits into the perspective of three characters: Moss, the game hunter on the run with the money; Chigurh, a sociopath assassin armed with a cattlegun; and Bell, the local sheriff who follows the trail of carnage.
I've likened McCarthy to a modern-day Hemmingway in the past, and I think the comparison holds true. His characters are placed in a naturalistic world of savage beauty. The bulk of the narrative is concerned with action, physical movement, utilizing tools and weapons, all written in McCarthy's steady, rhythmic prose.
"The man stepped away from the vehicle. Chigurh could see the doubt come into his eyes at this bloodstained figure before him but it came too late. He placed his hand on the man's head like a faith healer. The pneumatic hiss and click of the plunger sounded like a door closing. The man slid soundlessly to the ground, a round hole in his forehead from which the blood bubbled and ran down into his eyes carrying with it his slowly uncoupling world visible to see."
There's very little introspection – instead, Chigurh and Bell stare blankly at the wasteland horizon. Bell opens up a bit, however, in the form of short monologue chapters. He expresses fear and uncertainty of the new west – drug trafficking, poverty and addiction. He questions the force of violence, how its shaped both his life and the people of the land. It's here that the carnage is given meaning, elevates the book above a straightforward gory pulp-thriller. In the first chapter, alluding to the horrors to follow, Bell says:
"They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. I don't know what them eyes was the windows to and I guess I'd as soon not know. But there is another view of the world out there and other eyes to see it and that's where this is goin. It has done brought me to a place in my life I would not of thought I'd of come to. Somewhere out there is a true and living prophet of destruction and I don't want to confront him. I know he's real. I have seen his work. I walked in front of those eyes once. I wont do it again. I wont push my chips forward and stand up and go out to meet him. I aint just bein older. I wish that it was. I cant say that it's even what you are willin to do. Because I always knew that you had to be willin to die to even do this job. That was always true. Not to sound glorious about it or nothin but you do. If you aint they'll know it. They'll see it in a heartbeat. I think it is more like what you are willin to become. And I think a man would have to put his soul at hazard. And I wont do that. I think now that maybe I never would."
The Coen brothers have some quality source material – it'll be interesting to see their take on this bleak tale. Trailer here.

Summary: We must ask ourselves, "What are my hungers? Where have I gone to satisfy them and where have those choices led me? " Thank goodness Jesus provides an alternative that is healthy for us both physically and spiritually.
A burglar was arrested and appeared before a judge. The judge found him guilty and before he sentenced the burglar, the judge asked him if he had anything to say in his defense. The burglar said, "Well, Your Honour, you know how it is. The more a man has, the more he wants". The judge replied, "Is that so? Well, I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to sentence you to 15 years in jail. How many more would you like?"
The desire for more and more material things has often been used by human beings to fulfill their deepest desires, but unfortunately it leads to heartache and pain. One only has to look at the "stories" involving former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's resignation or the deaths of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson or comedian John Belushi for evidence. Millions of people also practically worship the ground that Hollywood idols or rock stars walk on. These people get their joy from worshipping overpaid people who have gaping holes inside----holes that they often try to fill with worldly pleasures such as drugs, alcohol or sexual pleasures.
Another way people try to fill this gap is by being obsessed with food. For many people, food is no longer a simple pleasure and a means of nourishment. Instead, it is a source of confusion, guilt and conflict---just like the obsession some people have with drink or gambling. The moment of pleasure is an illusion.
We must ask ourselves, "What are my hungers? Where have I gone to satisfy them and where have those choices led me? When my life takes a turn that requires wise choices, strength and perseverance, will the stuff I use to fill the void in my life be the nourishment I need?" Thank goodness Jesus provides an alternative that is healthier for us both physically and spiritually. In John 6:35, he states that he is the bread of life, and he goes on in verse 44 to explain that no one can come to him unless God the Father draws him. Those who believe in him will have their spiritual hunger satisfied. This is the message that he tried to give in the story of the loaves and fish. Unfortunately, the people didn't get it then, just like many of us don't "get it" today.
The Jews didn't get it because of their biases. They understood Jesus in a completely literal way, but Jesus was talking in a metaphorical way. They were so concerned with their literal interpretations of the laws of the Old Testament that they became set in their ways and either could not or would not change. In a way you can't really blame them though. It's only human nature to resist change, either actively or passively. We get so comfortable with the status quo, the way we've always done things, etc. that it becomes comfortable, like a well-worn pair of shoes. It just feels so good! We get comfortable! We like things just the way they are!!!!!! This new way of doing things makes us feel uncomfortable!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Jews also didn't get it because of their prejudice against Jesus. When they heard his claim that he is the bread of life, their response was, "How can this be? Is he not Jesus, the son of a carpenter? How can he claim that he is the bread of life?" In other words, the Jews didn't see Jesus as being a supreme being because of their prejudice against his family and his hometown. Nathaniel was a good example. When Philip told him in John 2:43-50 and Luke 4:16-30 that he found Jesus and that Jesus the Saviour was the son of Joseph from Nazareth, what was Nathaniel's response? It was "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Today, that would be like one of us saying, "Can anything good come out of Port Mouton…….Milton…………or the west side of Liverpool", for example.
The Jews also objected to Jesus' claim that he was greater than Moses, and again it was because they saw Jesus as just a man, and not as the Son of God. Jesus knew that his claim would be difficult for people to accept, and therefore he said that if anyone did believe, it was proof that God had led him. The Jews saw Moses as being next to God, and everyone else was of lesser importance. The Jews' pride kept them from believing in Jesus, just like our pride sometimes keeps us from believing in him. The Jews also believed that strict observance of the law would lead them closer to God, but Jesus tells them that this is not the case. God converts us from sin by enlightening our minds and inclining the will. He influences the soul by motives, just views of his law, love, commands, warnings, desires for happiness, applying truth to the mind, and by urging us to yield ourselves to Christ.

Just posted to our Web site, a call for the canonication of Pope John Paul I:
On the Third Sunday of Easter, Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed John Paul II a blessed, a milestone in the late pope's journey to sainthood. The speed at which Karol Wojtyla's cause for canonization has progressed is singular. Under the church's rules, the process cannot begin until a candidate has been deceased at least five years, but Pope Benedict dispensed with that requirement in this instance.
Not so with John Paul's namesake and immediate predecessor, Albino Luciani, whose own cause, initiated nearly eight years ago, still sluggishly wends its way through the labyrinthine Vatican bureaucracy, its ultimate resolution still in doubt.
For those whose faith was rekindled by that gentle pope, the lingering uncertainty about his canonization is disheartening. Albino Luciani's life was so exemplary that it could inspire a world grown weary and cynical and yearning for the "greater gifts" and a "more excellent way."
"He passed as a meteor which unexpectedly lights up the heavens and then disappears, leaving us amazed and astonished," Cardinal Carlo Confalonieri aptly observed at the pope's funeral Mass in 1978.
Read the rest here.
Tim Reidy
Pope Paul had lived through the War and had spent many many years in the Vatican.
The book by Hebblewaithe showed us many sides to Pope Paul but did not show so clearly us that no other Pope had lived through such a turbulent time.
His 15 years were from 63-78 and in that period all of the problems of the sexual revolution and the falling of the old order came to light.
He would never by temperament have been a happy Pope but he served the Church perhaps better than anybody.He poured himself into running the curia and to finishing the council.
Those who prize the texts of the council owe a debt to Montini.Luciani though, I think had his priorities more in place.
Most Popes can speak of God all day long and nobody bats an eyelid but when Roncalli or Luciani spoke of him it was so real as to be astonishing.This was not a suffering God.This God was not hung up about our moral failings but was loving and bigger in heart than us and our failings. Someday God may let us see the path of Luciani more closely.I hope so .......
What you wrote is indeed good and puts focus on a great man. I sometimes think Montini was the kind of Pope that was needed 63-78. There were so many tensions and cross-currents in the Church and I think Montini's own personality absorbed these and in many ways helped to contain the various "factions" which were emerging and struggling. Perhaps a pope as confident and sure of things as JPII would have led to some schisms? I don't know. But I think Montini had accurate empathy with even the positions he disagreed with and I think even those who disagreed with him knew that and gave him credit for working to keep the Church together. I suspect he suffered keenly internally/psychologically. (And let's remember how communism was an immiennt and brooding force across the world and in his own Italy). Perhaps in fututure centuries he will be looked back on as being a heroic kind of Pope-a saint? bill

Although vegan restaurants are on the rise, vegan diners are a dime-a-dozen. Why? Because diner food is traditionally very meat and egg based: think eggs on toast, chicken tenders and greasy burgers. But at Abby's Diner on Eagle Rock Boulevard in LA, The Vegan Hooligans have arrived to change up that notion.
From Tuesday through Sunday night, the stylish but a little grimy (as classic diners should be) pops up with all its vegan delights. With the Smiths playing in the background, and the space intimate, this diner gives off a truly family-oriented vibe. The menu is just as charming as the atmosphere. They have classic comfort food redone for every plant-based eater. You can enjoy a vegan burrito, ice cream sandwiches, a flaming melt, which has bean curd, cheese, and grilled onions. You can also have scrambled tofu nachos and empanadas with vegan cream cheese. Basically, they have everything we could ever want out of a diner.
On Yelp, people are in love. Darylaine said, "Please do yourself a favor and go try their food!! Order their 421 burrito, which is not on the menu, but tastes amazing, it's basically Californialifornia burrito consisted of beans, cheese, tater tots, and soy-based meat!! THAT IS A MUST!" And Alejandra said, "One of the most unique dining experiences here. First off I was brought here as a surprise date and later found out it's a pop up that is open from 6-10 on the weekends at Abbey's Diner. Whaaaa, mind blown!!"
According to a forecast report by restaurant consultancy group Baum + Whiteman in New York, "plant-based" will be the food trend of 2018. The report also anticipates that plant-based foods will become the new organic. So, let's hope there are even more cafes, shops, brands, and vendors to come, especially if they have vegan food THIS good.
They're located at 4862 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90041.

I needed to substantiate that the 30 days starts on enter to Peru and never with the day of concern,because all my paperwork place to me achieving peru only on the 20th of December.
As they might be held dependable and also have to fly you again, if you are denied entry to Peru, most Airways require a return or onward ticket to even Enable you to Check out-in at the airport.
I am definitely sorry, but for that reason regretably I can not answer your concern. Most effective get in contact with the consulate exactly where you wish to make an application for your Peru visa and request them what paperwork you and your Good friend have to deliver for the applying.
.each and every three mos. we travel to bolivia.My trouble was whenever we went to arequipa immigration, they did not settle for my doc.which happens to be the ACTA DE MATRIMONIO, a reniec registered in peruvian embassy in thailand..as they questioned regarding the posture of why is it my surname prepared first,seconded with my husband title..We filipinos generate is as MARY JANE TORAJA MEJIA and even acceptable AS MARY JANE T. MEJIA.. Whilst below in peru it ought to be prepared as MARY JANE MEJIA TORAJA.We remain actually in trouble.can u pls guide us on what to do?
The Peruvian legislation is regretably not likely crystal clear on this matter. But Sure it is possible to remain in Peru for your couple thirty day period, then depart even for only a day and return. How many days the immigration officer will grant on your return will depend on her/him.
I need to use a visa to Peruvian consulate in Beijing. So just how long does it choose to have visa? Where by am i able to reach fill out application for Peruvian visa.
You might be ideal; we forgot to mention that 1 cellphone for every man or woman older than 7 yrs is authorized. Thanks for pointing it out. We updated the checklist.
In your circumstance that can be the consulate in India or the a single in Dubai / United Arab Emirates. The Consulate in Dubai check it out specifically mentions on their Web site that visa applications for non-inhabitants are doable. You can obtain in connection with them beneath consulate [at] peru [dot] ae.
"If I would have explained to [my companies], I might have not been utilized. And when you're not used, you check out jail." Johnson no longer works for American Company Security. The corporation would not supply particulars about when or why he left.
The answer to your issue exceeds by far the Area We've here around the visa comment perform. Therefore I allowed myself to move your post to our Discussion Board less than Retirement Visa ("").
Pupils or interns should enter Peru on the tourist visa after which you can transform their immigration standing at Peru's immigration Workplace Migraciones.
As of now Peru isn't going to demand a biometric passport to enter. So as extended you have an Formal passport from your dwelling country with photo and your private info and using a validity of at the least six months you won't have any issues. Have an incredible spring split in Peru!

Buying a bread bin is not as straightforward as what you would initially think. When looking to purchase a bread bin there are certain elements you need to consider before you make the right purchase.
Some of the more important elements to consider when buying a bread bin are:
Bread bin material
Bread bins can be made from many different materials such as wood, ceramics, stoneware, stainless steel and metal bread bins. Each bread bin material has similar advantages in the sense that they are all able to store bread safely and hygienically, however the main difference in the type of bread bin material you choose is around the aesthetics. Wood bread bins tend to give a more traditional look and feel, while stainless steel bread bins tend to offer a more modern and clean looking design. Ceramic and stoneware bread bins are also a popular material and are also ease to clean and maintain.
Bread bin size
The size and style of the bread bin is important. Most bread bins can easily store 1-2 loafs of bread however if you are a family then you might want to consider a large bread bin which can easily store 3-4 loafs of bread, whereas if you are single you might just want a small bread bin. Many people also use their bread bin to store other items like bread rolls so choosing a larger bread bin is probably best.
An example of a large bread bin is this Beech Rollo Deluxe Bread bin
Bread bin design
Apart from good looks, the design of your bread bin should have complete functionality. Today's range of designer bread bins aren't just practical; they also look great on your kitchen surfaces. Well designed bread bins are also psychological and aesthetically pleasing. Good bread bin design emphasises the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it. A good designed bread bin also avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years – even in today's throwaway society. Some of the more common bread bin designs are modern bread bins, old fashioned and traditional bread bins, retro bread bin designs. One of the most important elements of bread bin design is how easy it is to open and close the bread bin. Some of the more modern touch opening bread bin designs give users the easiest way to open and close the bread bin.
Bread bin shape is important, typically bread bins come in square, rectangle, circle or oval designs. Some of the most popular shapes are rectangle bread bins. An example of a well designed bread bin with a unique shape is the Lift Top bread bin with a large internal space for storage.

I have three problems i would like help with.
Assume a database called "vote" with table "president", the table has four tuples
at the moment. I was hoping to have all the tuples printed on screen but i only
get from the second tuple; the first row is not shown on the page when it loads.
how can i fix that?
The table "president" has a field called "votes". on the table there is next to each name
a radio button. now, i was expecting that when a certain radio button is selected and submitted
then the "votes" attribute would be modified by adding one to it but the update seems to only
be taking place on the last tuple of the database. i get why this happens. the last value of
"stuID" to be passed is in the last tuple. how can i get the correct modification of the field
"votes" such that when a user clicks the radio button next to second row in the table, the votes
attribute in that row is increased by one?
on the table i have, how would i show a picture so that a picture of what is being selected can be
seen? assume i have a picture called "logo.png" that is in a folder called "images".
I am trying to build a voting application, any tips on how i can improve the code will be appreciated.
the code i have is below:

Old Tree Brewery began between an ancient woodland and an abandoned industrial estate in Sussex after a new friendship was formed on a train journey. Shared experience in volunteer forestry and community gardening, combined with a passion for ecology, gave root to the idea of Old Tree.
We were moved by the healing powers of woodlands and botanical ingredients such as Elderflowers and were learning the art of creating drinks from them. As we discovered that you could drink the sap from Birch trees, and make wine out of Oak Leaves (!) we became captivated by the idea to set up a brewery to fund the community woodland work we'd been organizing and the explore the forgotten realm of fermentation with wild plants..
Inspired by the immense cultural history and variety of plants drinks at our fingertips, we left the woods to become brewers with the goal of bringing the (mental + physical) health benefits that the woodland time had given us, to the wider world.
Doors opened for us as we started to learn about plants and all their uses throughout history – many too bitter to eat raw. Rediscovering the art of brewing became our obsession. We taught ourselves how to make all the types of drinks. Elderflowers that were blossoming on trees growing in the cracks of pavements could become champagne and herbs brewed with honey, all kinds of mead. Wild Apples everywhere could become cider. Dandelions and Yarrow taking over grasslands to become the first flowers of spring could become beer!
The potentially for creativity was limitless.
After successfully brewing Nettle Beer and many other drinks that were popular with our community, we were invited to become the botanical brewery for Silo – the award winning zero-waste restaurant in Brighton. Brewing for Silo for a year we created hundreds of different fermented drinks and and taught ourselves the art and science of botanical brewing, from juicing to beer making and made-wine to kvass.
We witnessed fruiting hedgerow plants, that many of us could not recognise today, like Sea-buckthorn, establish a forest over an old concreted urban carpark and because we new it was a prized ingredient for restaurants - harvested over £200 worth of juice from the wild berries. This gave weight to our idea of establishing as a brewery that invests in forest gardens and foraging culture as a means to create better livelihoods and more local supply chains. Th
We had the idea of creating Drink Forest gardens and our early tagline became:
"Botanical Drinks, for Edible Landscapes"
The big idea was to create a brewery that combined brewing & gardening / foraging & fermentation with an educational model and a many hands make light work approach to drink production processes. The impact of which could transform our drinking culture; realign us with the seasons; create desirable outdoor work; preserve botanical wisdom for the future and produce health as well as enjoyment with all powers of plants and microbes.
What we love about drink making is the variety of ingredients available to us, the connection to the outdoors and to the seasons. We are determined to preserve and share the knowledge we have accumulated in fermentation and forestry for social change and earth repair.
Old Tree journey in a nutshell
From 2015 to 2017 we were the Cafe, Brewery and Drinks Forest Garden at the start up hub FieldBTN, on Lewes Road where we combined our love of brewing with all kinds of herbs that we were able to harvest from the forest garden we planted there. We also became professional at utilizing fruit surpluses from orchards and local greengrocers and processing them from scratch to produce the most incredible flavours for these brews by the season and that is what we are doing now.

Sam's weekend at the beach
Sam went to the beach with Grandee and Pappy this weekend. They had beautiful weather. It's always nice when grandparents can have some time with just one of the kids.
There was this little cutout in their suite. From what Grandee said, Sam enjoyed sitting up there often.
You may notice his patch. The ophthalmologist has decided to try a patch 4 hours a day for the next 3 months. We'll go back in mid-January and see if his eye is stronger. He's done great wearing it. We made a chart. He gets to put a star sticker on each little box after an hour of wearing it. 5 stickers get him a miniature Twix bar. This comes out to a tiny Twix every other day. Don't judge me for this. Incentives are good for my little Sam.

Sam's first field trip
Sam went on his first field trip today to the Hargis Pumpkin Patch. He was so excited!
He got to ride a bus for the first time. He rode with the beautiful Kelly.
Right after he threw the straw in the air he was informed not to throw the straw in the air. Whoops.
I had to leave a little early to go get the babies. I paused to take a picture of the lake on my way out. I have SO many memories from Hargis. It's where I went to camp every summer. I remember the lake seeming so much larger than it really is. This picture doesn't show the whole lake, but it shows enough to capture some of it's beauty.

This past Friday night we went to a Hoover High football game. I snapped a picture of the kiddos in the parking lot. They were really great. We lasted almost the entire first half before we had to leave. I was actually surprised Laney lasted that long. We stopped by Chick Fil A to get a snack for the drive home. It was a nice evening out. I'm glad we were brave enough to give it a try. Go Bucs!

Sam's class party
There have been about 6 parties from Sam's class so far, and they were all big. Big to me, at least. Several "Jump Zone" parties, a party at McWane center, and a few others. They were great and I'm so glad Sam had the opportunity to go to a few of them. When his birthday came along I opted for something stress-free. I made some homemade invitations and invited his classmates to join us at a local ice cream parlor. It was great. People came and went as they pleased and the kids enjoyed the heck out of some ice cream! The kids ate and played around the fountain almost the entire time.
I don't know what Luke and Owen are doing on the left. It's like they think they're in a gang or something...ha ha. The sweet girl in the middle is Sam's girlfriend... I think. Nena's dad told me she came home one day and said "Daddy, I have to break up with some of my boyfriends. Sam asked me to marry him today so I guess he should be my only boyfriend". How cute!

our little visitor
earlier in the week a little deer decided to play on our playset. not really. i think she was trying to find her way home. she hung out in the backyard long enough for me to capture a few pictures (not good ones, i might add). then she made her way into the neighbors' fenced-in back yard and was stuck. the city sent a sheriff deputy out to help. i was on the phone with my neighbor when he showed up. i said "i think barney fife is in your back yard". he was able to free the deer and all was well...

Sam's letter
Sam got a spanking at school yesterday. It was not only his first spanking at school, but the first spanking his teacher had to give this year. I spoke with Mrs. Darden yesterday afternoon and she assured me Sam is a delight. But not yesterday. He spit at a student who got in his face. Then he was defiant when she asked him to come to her. Then he lied when asked if he spit. He spit at someone earlier in the week, so she felt she had no choice but to take him to the office. She tried to call me before the punishment was delivered, but I was at the gym so I got her voicemail once I got back to the car. After his spanking, they prayed together in the office. I am so grateful he goes to a school where bad behavior is not overlooked and where punishment is followed up with a good hug and prayer. I'm glad Sam is learning the same thing at school that he is learning at home: our choices bring consequences.
Yesterday happened to be the Briarwood Fall Festival. So even though I had already bought tickets, we decided that we wouldn't go. Sam understood why. Ron had a man-to-man talk with Sam last night and told him he needed to write a letter to Mrs. Darden. They sat at the table together and Sam wrote an apology note while Ron helped him with the spelling.

Monday, October 11
We had cinnamon rolls for Sam's birthday breakfast. He was pleased to see candles.
After breakfast we went to meet the family at the Pumpkin Patch. Sam loved the peach-shaped water tower.
I learned that NONE of my kids like cotton candy!
Sam and Luke enjoyed running up and down the big hill.
The hay ride
My favorite thing about this picture is Luke's extra tooth. I just love those two sharp teeth!
Jennifer took the next three pictures. I know they're all of Laney. My apologies to Sam and Luke...
We ended the day by having Pops and B over for dinner. Sam got to blow out more candles and finally eat some cake. He had been asking when he was going to get cake...

Elle Awards 2017 / Seating
The Mission:
The Swedish Elle Gala is Sweden's largest national fashion event, celebrating 20 years in 2016. Each January the gala gathers over 700 guests in Vinterträdgården at Grand Hôtel to celebrate the top profiles and brands within the fashion industry. In 2017 we were, for the second year in a row, picked as partner to plan and execute the seating of the award show.
The Idea:
As a close partner to Elle we hold a close contact with project managers and production team. With meticulous planning, who's-who-knowledge and a lot of flexibility we created detailed charts and models according to constantly updated RSVP lists. Being a tight knit group of colleagues, we all pitch in for this project (plus, the after party is the best kind of post-work-drinks).
The Result:
A very smooth and pleasant seating of 700 persons, although most guests tend to show up around twenty minutes before the award show starts. To sum it up: successful seating, happy guests and a satisfied customer.

This is the Tim Holtz - 12 tags of 2015 - October tag :
Link : 12 tags of 2015 - October
Each month mister Tim Holtz makes a tag and you can enter the give-away challenge by making your own tag inspired by his example.
At first I didn't know where to start because I didn't have any of the items he used on his. Neither did I have anything that could resemble them. Which, by the way, makes me wonder how on earth it is possible I don't even have a skull die or cut-out anywhere... *adding new halloween themed craft supplies to my wishlist*
This morning I went to work and while I was working on the background of the tag inspiration struck, or at least a big "duh" moment came along.
Earlier this week I started working on a monster-size project to make a 12x12 scrapalbum in which I'll be using the picture's taken by various photographers of our LARP group "The Voodoo People".
The thing I thought of this morning was that I could make exhibit pieces on several tags and use them in the album. So, I went to work and made a series of 6 tags, each of them showing evidence of our adventure's in Ravenskeep, our LARP organisation.
These are my 6 tags of The Voodoo People :

Our next stop was a donut shop. Angela's Donut Shop was the first one we found and we both enjoyed a mid morning snack.
On to the Houston Space Museum just across the street from the Johnson Space Center. Upon arrival in the parking lot, the first thing you notice is a giant Boeing 747 with a Space Shuttle attached.
While the Shuttle is a replica, the 747 is the historic NASA 905 shuttle carrier. The much modified and reinforced Boeing 747 was used to fly the retired shuttles to their prospective museums. The last flight was to Ellington Airfield where NASA 905 was disassembled by Boeing engineers into seven large pieces. Transported in the late night to the Houston Space Museum, where it was reassembled. A replica of the Independence shuttle was mounted to it in August of 2014.
The museum is full of information and displays of various things from the early era of space travel. On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy announced with a speech to some 35,000 attendees at Rice Stadium in Houston that "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win."
Kennedy's speech was meant to prompt the U.S. citizens to back one of the biggest efforts mankind has ever undertaken. Over the next decades the United States had many successes and failures in space. Space research has brought huge developments in medical as well as other branches of the scientific community. Research continues even though the shuttle program has ended.
Mia wanted to go to a local quilt store so I drove her over to Webster to this store. They even had special parking.
We start the trip home tomorrow, heading north to Wichita Falls, Texas.
That was our day. Hope yours was great too....

In its bumbling wisdom, Sprint-Nextel
Sprint took the offer down a few hours later. The official explanation is that the deal was "put into the system in error."
This is the second close call with the $99 price point. Best Buy
Well, now Sprint is willing to split the difference. As of this morning, the Pre has been marked down to $149. I wonder whether that price point will last, or if that, too, was "put into the system in error." It's a good deal, but it may not be good enough.
Of course, it's just a matter of time before we begin seeing $99 Pre phones in the wild. At least one analyst believes that Pre sales are fading after the initial buzz behind Palm's June launch. Sprint will also be busy promoting Google's
Pricing isn't entirely up to Palm. Keep in mind that dropping the Pre from $199 to $99 doesn't mean Pre will be making half as much as it used to. Carriers subsidize the hottest Apple
This morning's price is a start.
Apple stole the Pre's thunder when it began offering a $99 3G iPhone. The latest entry-level iPhone 3GS sets AT&T
Sprint has tried to position the Pre as a more cost-effective choice, given the carrier's cheaper data plan, but it can just migrate the same campaign to market its Android smartphones next month.
Palm can't let it come to this, even as it lines up new carriers and gears up to this the market with new smartphones, such as the smaller Pixi, which was announced this morning.
If it's too late to strike while the iron is hot, it may as well make a move while the Pre is still at least lukewarm. Inertia is pulling Palm to the $99 price point. It had better get there before the Android-backed HTC Hero takes a call next month.

Drama building in Pine to Palm round of 32 after exciting finishes
Only three top 10 qualifiers remain in the Pine to Palm championship field after a day of exciting matches late in the day and nerve-wracking extra holes to narrow the bracket to quarterfinalists Friday at Detroit Country Club
No. 6 Grady Meyer has been posting big birdie days and has advanced quickly through two matches taking out No. 27 Mason Fiddle 5&4.
"I've made a lot of birdies the last two days," said Meyer. "I had six again today, which was really nice. Today was a little different. I played good early and not as good late, so it was kind of the opposite of yesterday. It was fun to get off to a hot start and get some birdies early."
The putter has been Meyer's big weapon and he'll need it in an all-Golden Gopher matchup Saturday with Thomas Longbella.
"I'm putting really well and I've been relying on that trying to give myself as many chances as I can get," Meyer said. "If you're wedging and putting well, you can have success."
No. 22 Longbella advanced defeating Jon Stecher 2&1.
No. 1 Nick Myhre Myhre is the only remaining medalist with Noah Lawson going down in defeat and has been playing sharp with the target on his back. At the moment, the tournament is in the top seed's hands.
"I like that," he said. "The thing is, out here, anyone can get hot at any time. On these shorter courses if your wedges are on and the putter is the main thing. If you're putter gets hot, anybody can be scary out here."
Myhre's game has been smooth sailing but he noted a couple areas of improvement heading into crunch time this weekend.
"I've been hitting the ball a little better each day and hopefully, I'll keep getting better," said Myhre. "My driver has been struggling a little bit and it would be nice to see a couple longer putts go in like I did in qualifying."
The par fives have proven a challenge for Myhre who hopes to improve off the tee on the three long holes, especially working on converting simple up-and-downs.
Myhre defeated No. 32 Ben Hauge 3&2 and will face No. 17 Matt Rachey in a Bison versus Gopher battle.
Rachey played in a back-and-forth match never straying past 1-up or 1-down that locked at even on the back half of the back nine before producing a 19th hole for the decider with No. 49 Pat Dietz.
Both golfers were right off the tee on No. 19 in the rough and trees. Rachey shot first going for a big bomb and had some nerves before Dietz also found trouble, as well.
"I was trying to put a little pressure but it didn't go out like I wanted to, but in the end it all worked out," Rachey said.
Like the extra hole, the duo had a battle on their hands that came down to the last putt.
"He's been steady Eddie all day, got lucky this time," said Rachey. "It was a good match all around."
Rachey sank a birdie putt for the win.
"It's just make it, aggressive and try to end it as quickly as possible," Rachey said.
One guy who knows how to win at Pine to Palm is NDSU's Connor Holland, the 35th seed and 2011 champion.
"It's been a while," he said.
Holland got off to a quick start winning the first three holes in taking out the No. 3 seed in Lucas Johnson, a fellow Bison.
"It wasn't pretty after that; I just kept it in play and tried to take what the course gave me and not try to beat myself up," said Holland.
The soft-spoken, big hitting lefty heads into championship weekend with a calm demeanor and strategy looking to notch his second title.
"You just can't get ahead of yourself; take it one shot at a time and don't get up too high, don't get down too low," he said.
Detroit Lakes' Tanner Lane has had a knack for exciting wins the past two seasons to the pleasure of the family reunion that is his entourage in the gallery.
No. 26 Lane was up two early on No. 7 Bryant Buckellew, but Buckellew stormed back to take his own 2-up lead. The match was all square before both players flipped Nos. 15 and 16 and it was a tie leading up to dramatic birdie putts on 18.
The measuring string was needed to determine who was out as both players stuck their approaches. Buckellew was out by inches and had the easier of the two putts sinking his with little break to put the pressure on Lane looking at a tricky, downhill right to left roll.
Lane stuck the putt and knew it was going in before it hit the cup and took that momentum to extra holes winning with par.
"I have a little advantage playing here every week and weekend and growing up out here so I know the greens pretty well," said Lane. "At the end of the day you just have to do it and trust it and luckily, the last few years have gone my way. It's been a lot of fun."
Brennan Hockman provided late excitement for the second straight day. The Bemidji State University product and lowest seed remaining at No. 60 needed three extra holes to get to Friday's play and sank a big bender for birdie on 18 to end the tournament for No. 28 Jack Holmgren.
No. 12 Coy Papachek and No. 44 Cody Christensen spent the longest time on the course in the final pairing playing a near six-hour round to a 1-up decision for Papachek on 18 to end the day's play.
Fergus Falls' Chris Swenson, the No. 31 seed pulled off the upset of the day defeating No. 2 and co-medalist Noah Lawson 5&4. Swenson built a 4-up lead early and kept at it to exit the course early.
No. 24 Jon Miller continued to battery of top 10 golfers taking out No. 9 Benjamin Dirck 5&4. Miller ended Swenson's tournament in 2016 and moves on to face No. 8 Erik Weiss.
Weiss defeated Bemidji State's Cody Cook, No. 40, 3&2.
No. 10 Nate Varty also commanded his match winning 5&4 over No. 42 Robert Wagner of Detroit Lakes.
No. 14 Adam Gronaas built on his extra holes victory Thursday to advance 2&1 over No. 19 Jacob Dehne.
No. 29 Andrew Passanante ended the upset bid of No. 61 Alan Spriggs late on the back nine winning 3&2.
Quarterfinal matchups beginning Saturday at 7:18 a.m.
1 Myhre vs. 17 Rachey
8 Weiss vs. 24 Miller
29 Passanante vs. 13 Kuhn
