THANK YOU!!! (43 of #100DaysofSatoshiDoodles)
In honour of the work done by those who actually needed to implement this upgrade for the Bitcoin Cash network, please excuse the underwhelming nature of this doodle.
The little girl, who had nothing to do with it, is very grateful!! (Thank goodness we don't all have to run a "node" and upgrade in unison. Because she's a bit of a procrastinator/fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants-er.)

text: I strangely and accidentally ended up in New York for about 6 days a little while ago. Luckily, the Blip Festival happened to be on! Supercool 8bit and chiptune mega party tracks with live visuals galore! There were some nice booths set up by vendors such as Makerbot (nifty new affordable 3D printers).

Wednesday 4th JanuaryJanuary 5, 2012
Not sure what to make of tonight's CD. It is a quartet recording recently released on the Creative Sources label named Proxemics by Boris Hauf (Tenor and soprano sax, plus sidetones and harmonium) Steven Hess (drums and electronics) Keefe Jackson (Contrabassclarinet and another tenor sax) and somebody named Juun playing piano. There are three tracks, each studio recordings from early 2010. I have to admit to only being aware of the music of Hauf and Hess before, and I don't even know if Juun is male or female, with every review I can find of this music online also tactfully avoiding any indication! Not that any of this matters. Its a bit of an oddball album though, the first track in particular, named Public is really hard to try and categorise and never really goes where you think it might. Essentially this piece, the longest on the disc by far at almost half an hour is vaguely linear in structure, with the drums, electronics and occasional hissing reeds forming a kind of soft, often textural layer over which the acoustic instruments, mainly the reeds, but occasionally the piano wander in a more forward, not quite conventional manner. This sounds somewhat run of the mill I know, but its hard to describe this music accurately. In places the horns (I am counting the bass clarinet as a horn here) are played very conventionally indeed, with quite loud parps, splatters and even semi melodic lines burning their way across some of the track
It is the combination of some really very beautiful sounds in places, with the familiar, jazzy use of the horns that makes this one so unusual. The last minutes of Public are particularly wonderful. After the sax and clarinet have ceased interjections, a kind of hissing stream of near silent stillness appears, with what sounds like a field recording of wind in trees whispering past, complete with the occasional car horn in the distance. Its the way that this ever so subtle section follows the jazzy sections that makes this disc unusual for me. The field recording (assuming it is one) probably comes from Hess, who as part of Haptic has been involved with some stunningly beautiful work of this kind in recent years, but when placed alongside the tinkling of what I think is a prepared piano, and the alternate hissing and wailing of the sax and clarinet it all sounds oddly disconnected, but in a manner that isn't displeasing at all. It just sounds unusual.
The second track, lasting just under six minutes is more conventionally structured, with the percussion coming more to the fore, providing a framework for the others to build a vaguely drone based structure around. The final track sees Hauf introduce the harmonium, which wheezes and quivers its way in and out of a lethargic, softly throbbing pattern set up by the others that seems to rotate and repeat itself slowly. The first track makes the album for me, and perhaps I would have been just as happy with that piece alone, with maybe its closing few minutes extended out further, so giving more weight to its contrast with the wail of the horns, but overall this is a nice album, and at its height really quite different indeed.
So, the de-hacking of this site is complete and it all feels very snug and watertight round here now. Hackers had somehow implanted software into the blog's core code that recorded my log-in details as I typed them, so allowing them, or their spam robots access to the database whenever they wanted to. Exactly why a website about experimental music that is read by little more than a couple of hundred people daily should be a target for this kind of thing is beyond me, but its all professionally cleaned up now and measures are in place to stop it coming back. I don't think anything has changed externally. The visitor counter has been moved to the bottom of the page for convenience's sake, and I have just placed an ad for the forthcoming (great looking) Audiograft Festival in Oxford this February, but otherwise it all should be working well. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to anyone that might have been affected by the problems here. Aside from those that couldn't read the blog in their RSS feeds for a while, and those of you that have had to read my boring updates about it all every day I am not aware of anyone directly affected, but apologies all the same. I am having my first whisky of the year right now to celebrate the site's clean bill of health.

Specialized Roubaix Armadillo Elite Tire
Specialized's Roubaix Armadillo Elite provides a fast, comfortable ride with durability to last the long haul. It offers low-rolling resistance, solid grip in corners, awesome all-weather handling, and a higher volume for bump-smoothing compliance. You also get Specialized's Armadillo flat-prevention technology for peace of mind when you're churning out the miles.
Size: 700 x 23/25c
Armadillo Elite is Specialized's toughest all-around puncture protection for 4-season high-mileage riding. It provides superior puncture resistance in a lightweight package with a folding tire bead. A Kevlar cap-ply (see image, light blue) protects the sidewalls and provides bead-to-bead puncture protection, plus an additional nylon belt (see image, red) under the tread increases durability where the tire contacts the ground.
This is a folding tire
The high thread-per-inch casing let this tire conform to the road/trail for superior cornering and comfort.

These tires helped reduce the number of flats, had 4 in previous set of tires, only 1 with these. But after 8 months and 600 miles, the seams are splitting on both tires. I can see the kevlar. Definitely expected more life from them.

Portrait of Charles Crokatt, William Keable and Peter Darnal Muilman
Thomas Gainsborough
- Art Funded
- 1993
- Dimensions
- 76 x 64 cm
- Art Fund grant
- £100,000 (Total: £1,096,913)
- Vendor
- Sotheby's
This work was a joint purchase by Gainsborough's House and Tate.
At one time it was suggested that the seated figure playing a flute was Gainsborough himself. It is now known to be a portrait of the artist and amateur musician William Keable, who specialised in small conversation-piece portraits. The connection between Keable and the other sitters (brothers-in-law from the Muilman family of successful businessmen) is not clear, but may be intended to represent the acceptance of businessmen among the gentry. This work was acquired with assistance from the Wolfson Foundation.
Commissioned by Henry & Peter Muilmam (?); by descent to Anne Crokatt; by descent toEmilia Boucherette; by descent to Ayscough Boucherette; by descent to Mary barne; by descent to Miles Barne; Sotheby's, London, 14/7/93, lot 49.

Why on earth would you want to manage LinkedIn Invites? Great question. Mind you, we weren't able to, so I never gave it much thought. Two things changed. Firstly I decided to only deal with my LinkedIn Invites once a week, so I can properly engage with the people who took the time to invite me. Secondly, LinkedIn added options to filter your invites.
Since I only deal with my invitations once a week, there are more than 1 or 2 to deal with. At times, this can feel a bit overwhelming. Nothing too bad, until I wrote that ONE post on LinkedIn that went wild. 80K views (it is a bit embarrassing, as the post didn't even contain any great tip, just a bit of fun). Now those views lead to quite a few invites. Obviously, this had to happen when I was barely online for two weeks due to some obnoxious lurgi that refused to leave my house. Faced with a large list of invites, I wish I could filter them. Low and behold, today I noticed I can!
- You can now filter your invites to display only invites from people in your company. Not very useful for a sole entrepreneur, but quite handy when working for a large corporation. This way, when you don't have time to properly deal with all invites, at least accept those from your colleagues, so they don't feel snubbed.
- You can filter by people who attended the same school (college, university) as you. This could potentially lead to a fun blast from the past, so by all means apply this filter when you are bored.
- You can filter by people who have mutual connections. This allows you to give priority to second-degree connections over third. But then again, isn't it much more fascinating to find out why those 3rd-degree connections want to get a closer relationship with you?
- I would LOVE to be able to manage LinkedIn Invitations by filtering out the invites with a personal message. I love responding to those first, as these people put in some effort to start building a relationship, which is what networking is all about.
- Another one high on my wishlist… sorting by country. For some people local contacts are most valuable, others try to establish their network in specific reasons. When pressed for time, wouldn't it be great to be able to prioritise that way?

Research Assistant & PhD Student
- firstname.lastname@example.com

Melina is working as a Research Assistant investigating the impact austerity has had on services for those with intellectual disabilities and pursuing her PhD in Applied Psychology at the Tizard Centre.
Melina is a Special Educational Teacher (QTS). She obtained her BSc and first Master's Degree as a government funded student from the School of Philosophy of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her experience in working with children with special educational needs impelled her to continue her studies and gain her second Master's degree in Special Needs and Inclusion Education at the University of Sunderland. After starting her PhD studies, Melina obtained her postgraduate diploma in Methods of Social Research from the University of Kent.
Melina's interest is focused on Tourette's syndrome and the less socially favourable position of the children within the school environment. Her awareness of Tourette's syndrome arose from her personal experience as a secondary teacher in a Special School. The social ostracism some children endure as a result of their tics motivated her to evaluate the existing interventions that are currently being used to ameliorate the stigmatisation of Tourette's syndrome.
Melina teaches on the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities postgraduate course, focusing on qualitative research methods. She also contributes to undergraduate courses, teaching about the stigma linked to intellectual and developmental disabilities with a particular focus on Tourette's syndrome.back to top

text: Here's the major things I've noticed: * Red color in poop *'Bubbles' on edge of rooster's eye *Hen is coughing/sneezing *Hen 'squats' when eating or drinking (maybe that's normal) These two are a rescue pair I got from a guy. The hen feels very thin when I hold her. I'm guessing they're less than 6 months old. Yesterday I found BIG mites on a feather that the hen had molted. I bought the only spray I could find to treat mites and treated everything and the birds yesterday. Stupid me, I'm new to all of this. I brought them home thinking the separation period was so they won't fight. Since they got along I put them with my three 2 month old chickens. I'm so frustrated and feel like such an idiot *What should I use to treat mites? I don't have much faith in that spray. *Does the pair have parasites? What can I treat them with? *Should I separate the pair from the others? They've all been together a week, wasn't sure if it mattered at this point.

By the time you read this article Christmas will have been and gone and we will be ready to welcome in 2018. The Parish Council wishes all our residents a very happy and prosperous New Year.
Thank you to all the residents who came and enjoyed the switch on of the Christmas lights on Friday 1st December 2017. It was a lovely evening and lovely to see many residents enjoying the evening.
Glenfield Gala 2018
The Parish Council have decided to defer the Gala until 2019 to allow the Council to focus on the arrangements for the events to commemorate the end of WW1 in Nov 2018. Further details of these events will be published in the forthcoming editions of this magazine.
Youth Provision - BB19 Bus and The Reality Bus
The Parish Council have been advised by Blaby District Council, who operate the BB19 bus, that the bus is still operational but an MOT planned for the end of December 2017 may be an issue for its on-going use. As such Blaby District Council are currently looking at various options as to how youth provision may be provided in the future and unfortunately at this time the youth provision in Glenfield has ceased . Various options, which may include some form of alternative bus provision, are currently being collated by Blaby District Council and will be considered in due course. As valued partners, Blaby District Council will keep us updated as they know more and their plans develop for this valued Community Service. The Parish Council would also like to thank the Reality Youth Project for their services from September to December 2017 via their double decker reality Bus.
Tree Warden
Currently, Cllr. Roy Denney is our Tree Warden for Glenfield. However, he would eventually like to relinquish this role and so we are looking for anyone interested in becoming a Tree Warden for the Parish Council. As a volunteer, a tree warden is not expected to be an expert, but someone who is enthusiastic enough to want to expand their knowledge and understanding of trees and their local area. By knowing where and what your local trees are, and gathering information about them, you can help the Parish Council build an awareness of the type of practical help and advice which may be needed, possible threats to trees and project ideas. Local people are often the first to notice a problem or see an opportunity, and so tree wardens are a vital link between the local community and the parish council officers. Although tree wardens have no powers beyond those of a member of the public, tree wardens can be the first point of contact in the community and can report threats to trees quickly to the council's officers. This helps the council monitor and enforce tree preservation orders and planning consents far more effectively. Other issues such as vandalism and dying trees can also be monitored by the tree wardens. If you are interested in this role, write to us with your details to Park House, Stamford Street, Glenfield, Leicester, LE3 8DL.
National Tree Week, Hedge Tree Campaign and Walk in the Woods, also rely on the tree wardens if they are to be effective locally.

Volunteers from J. P. Morgan have been helping Dorset Wildlife Trust to protect the wildlife of Upton Heath. The office workers joined wardens as part of national Make a Difference Day (MADD), giving up their free time for a day of hard work on the nationally important wildlife site near Poole.
Over thirty office workers volunteered to clear invasive birch and pine that could damage the heathland and its rare wildlife.
Andy Fale, Upton Heath Restoration Project Officer, said:
Tracey, Struthers-Frost, a member of the J.P. Morgan Community Relations Committee, said: "We were blessed by the weather, Upton Heath is beautiful and the baked potatoes cooked in the bonfire went down really well. The people from DWT were very helpful and knowledgeable, and I had some great feedback on the day with a number of people asking when our next Good Works Volunteering day will be!"
If you would like to get involved with volunteering on Upton Heath, click here or ring Andy on 01202 692033.

A recent survey conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in United States has shown who knows the most about other people's religions:
"Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups on a new survey of religious knowledge, outperforming evangelical Protestants, mainline Protestants and Catholics on questions about the core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions."
That's right; traditionally perceived as the most ignorant on matters of religious practice, it turns out that non-believers, fence-sitters, Jews and Mormons are the most religion-savvy. That's probably because experience as new, highly persecuted or just plain curiousity-driven people has taught these groups to educate themselves, not just on a faith, but the tenets of the faith. It's no surprise to me that atheists and agnostics alike scored the highest. The constant quest for knowledge about religions drives a theoretical curiosity around religion as institutions and cultural practice, seen from a practical point of view, rather than concentrating on dogma. That's why these people can often answer not only fundamental religious questions about traditional, dominant faiths like Christianity, but also, about Islam and Hinduism.
Being open-minded is the best way to acquire, gain and maintain knowledge. Most religions are inward-focused and only seek to educate those who are members of their flock. But contrary to what some groups think about religious education causing their people to turn away from their faith, studies have shown that education can actually enrich a person's faith and religious belief.
After all, how can one be expected to know what to believe if they don't know what others around them believe? What would be their basis of comparison? And doesn't a knowledge of other people enrich your knowledge of yourself, forcing you to think about what it is that you believe and why? And if what your congregation fears does come true, and you leave their flock in favour of another, isn't that your right to do so as a free individual with your own will and brain?
Even if you don't practice religion, religious knowledge is valuable. It's ingrained in cultural practices, history, language and politics. It can offer important and interesting insights into behaviour, practices and laws. It's expressed in our art and architecture and can be the foundation of some of the most beautiful stories ever told and some of the most magnificent art pieces ever made.
I think it's useful for everyone to learn something about other faiths. It gives a great basis for understanding our fellow man. Even if we don't believe in what they believe in.

Are You Laying-off the Right Employees?
The current weak economic climate has hotel managers spinning as they try to find ways to increase revenues and reduce costs. However, many managers continue to make the same mistake of drastic across-the-board payroll cuts, which reduce costs in the short term; but, have negative long-term effects that result from a correlating reduction in customer service.
Labor represents the single largest expense of any hotel – typically comprising 40 to 45 percent of operating expenses – and warrants significant focus and analysis. However, a critical balance exists between meeting customer expectations and containing payroll costs. Reducing labor costs is not as simple as simply reducing staff counts by a given percentage in order to meet financial expectations. The consequences of using this method will result in loss of market share and repeat guest business as well as high employee turnover. Furthermore, cutting staff in the wrong departments can end up costing more down the road. For example, cutting an Accounts Receivable clerk might seem an easy attrition, but this could soon result in thousands of dollars lost in charge backs and guest billings.
It is only through the analysis of labor costs on a daily basis that hotel managers are able to analyze the specific needs and costs required to staff the departments optimally. Surprisingly though, there are few tools available to simplify this process.
Most hotel managers project labor expenses by department based on the projected revenues and the historical labor cost indicators, such as cost per occupied room, labor cost per hour, cost per cover, percentage of revenue, etc. Moreover, this is done only on a monthly basis at the departmental level, which is actually ineffective because in-depth analysis of fixed and variable costs is required.
Hotel managers also typically use spreadsheets for operating budgets, productivity monitoring, and staffing/scheduling to gather the data that helps them manage labor expenses. However, spreadsheet programs are simply not capable of providing information in a format that is conducive to in-depth analysis by position on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, which is what is required for optimal staffing at a minimal cost.
Although most of the labor information resides in time and attendance systems, there is no capability to extract these data to any useful format for further analysis. Even though early time clock systems have progressed from punch cards to more expensive and sophisticated electronic systems, these systems cannot compare the captured labor hours and cost data against associated revenues and statistics.
The commonly used spreadsheets are archaic, time-consuming and ineffective. These spreadsheet reports do not provide feedback which is timely enough to be useful to departments with variable labor indicators. Also, they cannot be used for future forecasting and budgeting at the required level of detail. The sooner a department manager becomes aware of a deviation in productivity, the easier it is to make a correction. Therefore, not having the correct tools to manage the single largest expense in any hotel will create not only a decrease in service but also an under-utilized labor force.
Finally, hotel managers need to reduce labor costs through strategic reductions that won't sacrifice customer service, safety and profitability. Drastic across-the-board labor reductions may appear to result in cost savings, but a detailed labor analysis is critical to ensure that the reductions won't cost you more in the long run.

George Rogers Clark captured the fort at Vincennes, Indiana, from the French.
When Clark informed the French that France has declared war against the British, making France and the colonists now on the same side, the French were elated, and those at the Vincennes fort pledged allegiance to the Americans. When the British learned of this, troops were sent to capture the fort, and was held under British control through the winter.
Clark recaptured the fort the following February with significantly fewer troops than the British had and in effect, tricked the British into surrendering the fort. Because of how Clark's men had survived the winter in their approach to the fort and how Clark tricked the British into surrendering, Clark is described as "a true military genius and patriot."
|George Rogers Clark Memorial
Vincennes, Indiana
A memorial for Clark was built in Vincennes when, in the 1920s as the 150th Anniversary of the Revolutionary War was approaching, an "intense interest" arose in recognizing the accomplishments of Clark and how he secured the West for the Americans. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the memorial on June 14, 1936.

And folks if you have not already checked out the most awesome NZ Poetry Box blog run by fab poet Paula Green go take a look now. This is a blog for children, parents and teachers up to year 8. Paula posts tips, challenges, competitions, interviews and poems by children amongst other things. She has already run a number of challenges and awarded prizes to young poets from schools (and individually) all around New Zealand.
Paula recently ran the first Fabulous Poetry Competition for Children and after receiving nearly 2,000 poems has selected twenty to appear in the A Treasury of New Zealand Poetry for Children to be published by Random House. I cannot wait to see this fabulous book. Paula said:-
it was an ELEPHANT task reading my way through them all. It was really hard narrowing it down as there were so many wonderful entries. I think some schools must be little writing havens as they sent in so many good poems.
There were poems about cats, dogs, paddocks, beaches, the moon, wizards, witches, blue, yellow, fireworks, families, feelings, dragons, space, people, places, the world, gardens and a thousand other things. There were fat poems, skinny poems, funny poems, musical poems, poems that rhyme, poems that don't, scary poems, thoughtful poems, imaginative poems, surprising poems, sad poems, happy poems.
There were similies that popped and words that shone.

Old School and New School Parenting:
An Overview
We were all probably raised in the Old School method of parenting, which worked pretty well for most of us. The Old School approach, a power and control approach, is not bad or wrong. It's been around forever, and will be around as long as there are parents. But when it doesn't work well with strong-willed or angry children, parents need some new ideas.
This article presents parents with a comparison of old and new approaches.
The Problem of Control
The single biggest problem that parents present in my classes and coaching is control of their children's behaviors. I should say, misbehaviors. So many children are resistive, argumentative, stubborn, rude, even defiant toward their parents. The parents' problem is that the parenting methods their own parents used with them (which may have actually worked quite well) simply do not work as well with many of these bright, articulate, independent-minded, but immature and self-centered children. What I call the Old School methods might, indeed, work well in many families, where the children are more easy-going and compliant. But in many stressed families, the Old School approach isn't cutting it. What's needed is a more sophisticated, more thoughtful approach. And I call it the New School approach to parenting.
Here's a brief comparison of the two approaches.
The Old School Approach to Parenting
For eons, right up till today, the idea of parental authority in raising children has meant top-down authority, with the parents making rules, setting expectations, and demanding compliance or obedience from children. This is not a bad model. The paradigm, or model, for this approach can be summed up this way: 1) the parent has the authority and does most of the talking, including 2) establishment of the rules; 3) the child is expected to obey; and 4) the parent punishes resistance or disobedience in order to encourage compliance.
Parents Speak –> Rules –> Obedience –> Punishment
As I said, this is not a bad model. After all, parents do know better than children how the home should be run, what proper behavior is, and what the rules should be. But in stressed families, or in stressed parent-child relationships, when commands and punishments are ineffective, this model tends to not work well.
Commands and punishments are often ineffective because children want their own way, and often do not like being told what to do. (I must say, I don't blame them–I don't like being told what to do either.) They have at their disposal highly sophisticated toys and influential networks of other children which stoke the fires of curiosity, independence, and autonomy within them. They often develop their own ways of resisting and defying parental rules and expectations, as they become more connected to the world outside the home, more savvy, more desirous of innumerable attractions, and more strong-willed than perhaps we were as children. They might evade their parents' guidance by getting caught up in sophisticated electronic games, the internet, cell phones, and other influences beyond their parents' reach. Finally, children who are angry at parents can show a remarkable–and frustrating–ability to be unfazed by a parent's punishments or deprivations.
For parents who are separated or divorced, and bearing the burden of being a single parent who might have enduring conflicts with the other parent, the challenge can be even greater. Their children are often confused, hurt, and resentful that their parents couldn't make it work, and feel to some extent abandoned by them. They are also immature, and easily find ways to play their parents against each other to get what they want. (Of course, children of positive mother-father relationships find ways to play them against each other too.)
So what are parents to do when the Old School model does not work well with their children? A new, more sophisticated approach to parenting that I call "New School" can be far more effective with strong-willed, independent-minded children who might also be angry. This is a more sophisticated model for parents to use in raising children, because it goes beyond the more primitive methods of inflicting punishments to coerce compliance. It can succeed very well where the Old School methods fail and when children don't comply the way we expect them to. Why?
The New School Approach to Parenting
The reason this model can succeed where the older model fails is that the new one responds so much more directly to children's innate need for control while not giving the reins of authority and ultimate decision-making over to them. It takes advantage of the children's intelligence and desire for independence and ability to verbalize their wants and demands. It does this by completely changing the rules of the (parenting) game, and the expectations that parents have of their children. It looks like this.
Dialogue –> Agreements –> Cooperation –> Accountability
The catch is that this new model requires that parents use better relationship skills with their children. In order to have meaningful dialogues with two-year-olds and teenagers (and everyone in between), parents need to use self-control and develop better communication skills. They need to do things like listening; refraining from yelling, threatening, and lecturing; using I-messages to express their values, expectations, and desires; offering choices; and, above all, negotiating agreements with children, then holding children accountable to what they agreed to.
In a New School approach, parents start with genuine dialogue with their children about expected behaviors and their consequences. (Yes, parents really can negotiate these things with two-year-olds! And even with kids who have ADHD.) Children (like adults) are much more likely to follow through on what they have had some control in setting up–in other words, they're more likely to cooperate. And a New School approach prefers children's cooperation over obedience. We want them to cooperate, and voluntarily choose to do what we want them to do. This is not a pipedream. It works.
But not always! Children (just like adults) will at times break their agreements. So instead of punishment, New School parents demand accountability: "What made you break your agreement? I take this very personally, because when I make an agreement with you, you expect me to keep it, don't you? And that's what I expect of you, too. Isn't that fair?" Even young children know that's fair. It's the Golden Rule, which is the ultimate basis for all legal systems in the Western world.
A New School approach requires that we change our expectations of our children: they can negotiate agreements in age-appropriate fashion if we are willing to take the time. It demands that we treat them with the same respect that we so ardently desire from them, and that we give to other adults: namely, we don't just boss them around, or treat them like slaves or robots. It demands that we let go of our own egos a bit, and see our children as capable of thinking, of understanding, of being fair, and of being responsible. Then we are willing to put them to the test, and to hold them accountable when they fail.
All of my writing, my parent classes, and my parent coaching is geared to helping parents to enhance (or learn) the skills required to successfully implement the New School model. While it takes some effort and commitment, it can be done. And when done, it is effective, as hundreds of parents in my classes have shown and documented.
3 Steps to Parent-Child Harmony is my book that describes in detail the differences between the Old School Parenting model and the New School Parenting model. Please see these links if you are interested in more information or wish to purchase.

I've not posted in entirely too long.
Time to get the juices flowing again...
I Step Aside
You in your world and I in mine
With a tear in my heart, I step aside
Such times God's will the hurt sustains
Lately seems a constant refrain
Yet who am I to block your path?
To be His hands, a worldly salve
You in your world and I in mine
With a rip in my heart, I step aside
A heavy chested, bellowed roar
Frustrations I allow no more
In my meekness your embrace
For your love I fear to chase
You in your world and I in mine
With a wound in my heart, I step aside
A final grasp, chest to chest
Yet longer still at your behest
Oh, how I wish your heart to tend
But with a sigh and a tear I'll let it end
You in your world and I in mine
With a weakened heart, I step aside.

Five Rules That Humans Must Follow
Being a human is difficult at times. We have to pretend things interest us for the sake of conversation when they do not. There is an acceptable way in which we have to eat, speak, and act. We are in trouble if we dress inappropriately for an event. From the moment we are born we are becoming conditioned by the rules of society.
We live in a world where being an individual is discouraged and repressed. We are conditioned by social rules that we must follow and that guide the way we live.
These rules are set prior to use being born. These are essential for enjoying life and being accepted. Here are five rules that humans must follow:
- You have a Body
You get your own fleshy body. You may not like it but it is part of being human. The body has biological urges that interfere with out best interests so we must learn to control out biology to have a happy life.
The body is amazing and highly complex. While you cannot change your body you can improve it. Having a healthy diet and exercise can improve the appearance of the body. Do not get too used to this. You only have the body until you die then you move on.
- People Reflect Back Upon You
Everyone you meet will reflect a part of you back to you. If you have anger inside you may take it out on someone close to you. Their behaviors mirror the type of energy we are projecting both positive and negative. What we see in others is usually a reflection about how we feel about ourselves.
If you want to be happier we cannot expect people to change just for us. We need to take responsibility for our own energy and actions. If you start making changes for the better people will respond to you in a different manner. You have created a positive energy and they will begin to mirror these qualities back at you.
For good and bad people mirror behaviors back to others. If you are not happy with your life you need to change yourself first.
- Thing Work by Physical Laws
You cannot do whatever you want. You have to follow both written and unwritten law.
These laws include thermodynamic and the law of gravity will prevent a person from having superhuman freedoms. A person has to experience their body within the restraints of being human.
These laws keep the atoms in our body from falling apart and allow us to function. They help us experience life.
- Repeat Lessons Until You Learn
It may seem some thing in life happen over and over again. You should recognize these mistakes at one point.
These mistakes are trying to get your attention. They will happen over and over until you make changes. Pay attention to what the lesson is trying to show you. This can include love, forgiveness, and other things.
Until you learn the lesson you cannot grow or evolve. An example of this is people who keep on going back to abusive relationships. Until they develop a sense of self love things will not change for them.
Suffering is universal. Follows the signs to the lesson and they will stare you in the right direction.
- You will Forget This
When you can into the world you have forgotten where you came from. You will not remember your time before entering your body and interactions that have helped you evolve.
You may forget the purpose of life and the lessons that you have learned along the way. Life has its up and downs. Forgetting the positives and negatives of both will take the fun out of life and new experiences.

Let's find answers to most popular questions about online pharmacy. Today, web is the perfect method to buy some medicines for various appliances. Like many other medicines, Viagra is usually secret according of it's main ingredient. Have a question about Viagra and "cialis.com"? Nearly every man knows about "http://nvisionfor.com/cialis-for-sale.html". Matters, like "cialis for sale", refer to various types of soundness problems. Low desire isn't the same as impotence, but a lot of similar points that stifle an erection can also dampen your wish. Remember that your doctor has set Viagra or any other medicament because professional has judged that the favor to you is greater than the risk of unwanted side effects. Note, if you have more questions about Viagra ask your health care vocational.

Visit the table in the Gathering Space: Social Concerns and Knights of Columbus Respect Life
The Red Rose on the altar is the symbol for Respect Life
Opening our hearts to life in Christ empowers us for loving, merciful action toward others. We must give witness to the Gospel of Life and evangelize through our lives. We must personally engage others called to help parents welcome their unborn child as a miracle of God's creation, to visit the elderly or aid those who are sick and suffering, to pray and fast for life, to advocate to our elected and share the truth about human life.
All members of the Church can bring healing to the world by upholding the beauty of human life and God's unfailing mercy. Only a tender, compassionate love that seeks to serve those most in need, whatever the personal cost, is strong enough to overcome a culture of death and to build a civilization of love.

[Col. Recorded
There is perhaps
one thing more explosive than the damning revelations of former
White House counter-terrorism chief, Richard Clarke; and that is
the White
House's response to him. With venom barely distinguishable from
their attacks
launched a year ago against the Saddam Regime, the White House has
tried mightily to paint the 30-year government bureaucrat as a knave,
a traitor, an incompetent, or a fool.
I may be off
the mark, but the last time I saw something faintly similar to this
was during the Nixon Regime, when a presidential assistant named
Dean gave up the tapes on his boss.
Is this Watergate?
Hardly. Yet
it *is* a dangerous attack on the inner workings of the White House
on an issue that, just weeks ago, seemed like a sure-fire vote-getter
for President George W. Bush his handling of the so-called
'War on Terrorism.'
If Clarke does
anything, he shows that the White House, at the highest levels,
was fixated, obsessed even, on the eradication of the Iraqi Regime;
an event that Clarke says is bound to make the War harder, in the
long run, by playing into the hands of the jihadis (like Al-Qaeda)
who have long preached that the Americans would do anything to conquer
the oil-rich Arab States, to get their hands on the 'black gold'
White House
attacks on Clarke have come with a vehemence that is breath-taking.
He is derided
as a 'partisan' who, they suggest, is a closet supporter of the
Democratic presidential challenger, John Kerry.
Or, he wants
to get rich with a juicy book deal ....
And, as usual,
the media, ever hungry for the latest scandal, is eating it up,
lapping it up like a kitten on a saucer of milk.
Lost in the
sauce is logic.
If Clarke is
anything, he is, and seems to have ever been, a right-wing hawk.
He advocated
the bombing of Afghanistani bases *all of them* long
before 9/11; He advocated the Israeli practice of preemptive killings
(they call them assassinations) of suspected jihadis, all over the
This guy, at
base is a right-wing nationalist, who has advocated actions that
several Administrations (including, it seems, the Bush I presidency)
have declined to do.
The idea that
he is somehow sweet on Kerry seems, on its face, ludicrous.
And book deals
are hardly the way to make big bucks; the average royalty covers
little more than 10% of the cost, and there's a slump in the industry,
largely driven by the larger slump in the nation's economy.
If Richard
Clarke did not make, nor invest a decent coin in 30 years of government
service, sometimes at very high levels, then it is the government
that is to be
condemned for not rewarding such lengths of public service, certainly
not Mr. Clarke.
What Clarke
confirms, however, is condemnation, indeed.
The White House,
driven by the demon of ideology, drove the nation to war on a lie.
Is the nation
safer? Indeed, is any nation?
The Bush Regime
has unleashed something that is remarkably resistant to cluster
bombs, and daisy cutters, and even low-grade nukes hatred,
deep, and bitter, at the nations that have used false pretenses
to wage war, and humiliate an Arab state.
Iraq was never
the problem; and as its feeble resistance proved, it was never a
threat to the U.S.
A year before
the war, California's right-wing Democrat, House Member, Tom Lantos,
told members of the Israeli Knesset, "We'll be rid of the bastard
(referring to Saddam) soon enough. And in his place we'll install
a pro-Western dictator, who will be good for us and for you."
(G. Simon Harak, "Why Invade Iraq?", *BLUEPRINT For Social
Justice (Oct./Nov. '02), p. 9]
You still think
this War is in defense of 'democracy?'
Hardly. It
never was. It never will be. Armies don't bring democracies; they
smother them.

DURHAM, N.C. – Head coach Megan Cooke Carcagno and the Duke rowing program are excited to announce the signing of Gabby Salvati to a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to compete for the Blue Devils in the 2018-19 campaign.
Salvati comes to Duke from Medford, N.J., and is currently a senior at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School. Salvati is a member of the Bishop Eustace Crew team under the direction of Samantha Steffier and is a captain for her senior campaign.
As a junior, Salvati worked primarily as a member of the varsity 4+ boat and captured first at the Haddon Hammer for the New Jersey Indoor Rowing Championships in February. Salvati helped her boat to five second-place finishes with the JV and varsity 4+, including the Head of the Schuylkill, the Center City Slam, the New Jersey State Championships, the Mid-Atlantic Youth Championships and at the SRAA Championships. The varsity 4+ boat captured third at both the Philadelphia City Championships and at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta Cup while the U19 8+ placed third at Club Nationals.
Aside from rowing, Salvati lettered two years in swimming and soccer and also participated in triathlons. As a swimmer, Salvati was a six-time Junior Olympic qualifier and a New Jersey State finalist, and was selected to the South Jersey Team as a midfielder in soccer. She was also the top female finisher at multiple local and state-wide sprint events in triathlon competitions.
Outside of athletics, Salvati is a member of the National Honor Society, the Science, Math and English Honor Societies and received the Moffa Family Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Award.
What has been your favorite rowing memory?
GS: "My favorite rowing memory is definitely winning Stotesbury Cup in the Senior 4+. It was my sophomore year and my high school had not been to the final in almost eight years. We didn't really know what to expect going into the time trial, but coming out second after that, I was excited. We won by open water and it was just amazing to see what heart and hard work as a team can get you."
How did you get started in rowing?
GS: "The captain of the team my freshman year recognized my height and athleticism as a potential asset for rowing. She approached me with the suggestion of joining the rowing team when my soccer season was finished. I learned a little bit more about what was involved and decided to give it a try. It was supposed to be an extra sport but quickly turned into my sole passion."
Why did you choose Duke?
GS: "When I was 12 I visited North Carolina on a soccer trip. My family drove through the Duke campus and I knew at that time that Duke was where I wanted to go. Ever since it has been the driving force for the setting of my goals both academically and athletically. I knew my goals had to be set high because of the level of excellence upheld at Duke. When I revisited the campus as a high school junior, I again fell in love with the Duke community. Duke had all the available programs and opportunities that appealed to me and I knew would help me reach my goals beyond undergrad. Meeting with the coaching staff and fellow rowers, I knew the culture would be a great fit for me. I knew Duke would challenge me academically and athletically while being a place I could feel at home."

This is a common Exchange error which generally occurs due to log files problems such as when some particular log files are missing from the sequence or do not match with other log files. Main reason behind this error is invalid log signature and log creation time mismatch. In situations where some log files are not present in database or corresponding header is unable to find matching file in the database, this error is displayed. However this error could also be seen in circumstances where database is restored multiple times, because at that time Exchange is left with mixed log streams. In this article few inbuilt utilities has been explained to fix this error.
How to Repair log files:
As log files are the main cause of this error, so to fix this error at first log files needed to be fixed. To fix log files in Exchange Server there is recovery mode, which use some inbuilt utilities like Eseutil /r , Eseutil /p helps to repair damaged Log files.
Repairing Log files using Eseutil /r :
Eseutil /r works in Recovery mode of Exchange Server. Recovery mode which is a process of playing transaction log files into database so as to repair Log files. In exchange normally two types of recovery are done.
1. Hard Recovery using Eseutil : This is less seen recovery mode of eseutility , which is used when transaction log files areto be replayed into online backup. Hard recovery can be done with Eseutil by using the Restore mode.
Doing troubleshooting when ESE engine is forced to replay the transaction logs, this is known as a hard recovery , hence Eseutil /r.
2. Soft Recovery using Eseutil : This recovery occurs when a database is re-mounted after unexpected stop of Exchange, or when transaction logs are to be replayed into offline backup of database.
This recovery process replays the logs after the last checkpoint. When Exchange Database is dismounted or stopped, log files start to pile up in the database, which could lead Exchange to dirty shutdown state because of missing transaction files.
After Software recovery when Mailbox store starts again, all of the unattached transactions files of those logs are written in the database, remounting those transaction files may cause a built-in soft recovery routine.
Controlling the Checkpoint File in Software Recovery
While performing soft recovery, Exchange at first check recent transactions files, and then after that from last checkpoint it reads pointers in E00.chk, on the basis of that information it knows which transactions files to commit and which to roll-back, so as to bring database in consistent state.
While running soft recovery, normally users want to delete/ move the checkpoint file as they want to safely rerun all transaction logs into database. Those checkpoint files could be controlled during a soft recovery, by adding the /S switch to the recovery command:
Eseutil /r E00 /S
Working of Eseutil /r :
Working with Eseutility in repair mode is not as easy task as it looks, you cannot run /r in ordinary situations, as improperly executed eseutil /r may result you opposite results. This solution is to be used when all other solutions has been failed to get the server working. In situations where you had restored Exchange database and you are unable to mount the store then also you can take help of Eseutil /r.
While performing recovery using Eseutil /r utility at first, take backup of Exchange database so that in case something bad happens, database could be restored from that.
Then navigate to the folder which is containing those transaction logs, and run:
eseutil /r e00 /i .
Note the sequence /r e00 /i should be correct. If your base log is e00 and not some other numberand your storage group is with multiple stores, in that case user have to dismount all stores before running the /r switch.
Repairing Log files using Eseutil /p :
If log files are not available, still you can bring your exchange database in consistent state, by executing /p switch of ESEutil. Syntax which could be used to recover Exchange database without log file is :
D:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin>eseutil/p
"D:\Exchsrvr\Mailbox Store(SERVER).edb"
Note : Using this method to bring database in consistent stage is not as simple as it looks ,as this may lead user to data loss , in situations where Eseutil is not properly executed , or any structure improvement calls raised because of deletion of internal pages or if there are broken links between the table. In those situations user may need to rebuild database using offline defragmentation and correcting B-tree structure of database which obviously become a lengthy and complicated task with Eseutility.
An alternative to this complex process is going for professional Exchange recovery tools which can just calls for database file availability (healthy/offline/corrupt state) to get consistent DB. Exchange Recovery software repairs log files and recover Exchange database from Dirty shutdown state providing access to exchange data again.

My apartment is an absolute disaster in that it's-okay-because-she's-creative way. As previously mentioned, I'm taking the Quiet Nights art journal class taught by Vivianna of Polka Dot Robot.
Sunday night I made the cover for my journal - front and inside-front.
I took the night off yesterday to spend the night in Evansville after both doctor and dentist appointments, so tonight I did page 1 (escape) and page 2 (bliss).
Photos from here, here, here, here and here.
This is honestly unlike anything I have ever done before (excluding, maybe, the scrapbook I made after the family vacation to Florida). I think I could really get into this, though - I love doing anything that makes me feel even remotely creative, and I've been doing everything possible to get out of the rut I've been in. This little project has kept me from doing anything remotely self-destructive, boring, or a waste of time for two whole hours, and all of a sudden I feel exhausted - like I could go to sleep any minute without having to pop a benadryl or anything!
This is big.

US President Donald Trump today accused the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries of raising oil prices, in a fresh swipe at the cartel's agreement to cap production.
"Oil prices are too high, OPEC is at it again. Not good!" he wrote on Twitter.
Oil prices peaked in late May, hitting the USD 80 per barrel ceiling on the Brent futures contract and USD 72.24 on the West Texas Intermediate.
Traders are holding their breath for the June 22 meeting of oil ministers from OPEC member states in Vienna.
In April Saudi Energy Minister Khaled al-Faleh said the global market has the capacity to absorb higher oil prices -- a remark that drew a swift reaction Trump.
"With record amounts of Oil all over the place, including the fully loaded ships at sea, Oil prices are artificially Very High! No good and will not be accepted!" Trump tweeted on April 20.
OPEC producers and non-OPEC countries struck a deal in 2016 to trim production by 1.8 million barrels per day to reduce a global glut of oil.
The deal, which is due to run out at the end of 2018, has succeeded in boosting oil prices above USD 70 a barrel from below USD 30 a barrel in early 2016.

Last year I found this gorgeous alpaca wool blend yarn for $1.99 a skein. What a bargain. I cleaned them out and now was stuck with 6 skeins of purple yarn that I still had not used until now. I do hope to have a little girl one day Inshallah. So with wishful thinking I picked out two projects that could really be used at anytime of year.
Project #1 Modeled by Miss. Panda Bear was the Shell Stitch Pixie Bonnet from Crochetlatte.com
This week I am linking up to Frontier Dreams' KCCO, CrunchyCatholicMomma's Stash Bash, and NaturalSuburbia's Creative Friday.

24 in 24 Series: Corpus Christi IceRays
August 24, 2014
The 24 Teams in 24 Days series features a look at all 24 teams in the NAHL for the 2014-15 season, with a new team being highlighted daily, leading all the way up until the start of the regular season on Friday, September 12th as six NAHL teams take to the ice on Opening Night. 24 in 24 will go in-depth into each NAHL team and will include interviews with all 24 head coaches in the NAHL, as they provide fans with their expectations and outlook for the 2014-15 season, including taking a look at their roster and their strengths as a team. It will also take a look back on the 2013-14 season and how each team fared and what they accomplished. Best of all, 24 in 24 is done to provide the fans of the NAHL with an inside look at their favorite team and what to expect.
Corpus Christi IceRays
Head Coach: John Becanic (2nd year)
2013-14 record: 19-31-10, 48 pts. (6th in the South Division)
2013-14 leading scorer: Jake Durflinger (60GP, 12 G, 17 A, 29 pts, -9)
2014 Playoffs: Did not qualify
2014-15 Division: South
First regular season game: Friday, September 12th @ Topeka RoadRunners, 7:05pm
Home opener: Saturday, September 27th vs. Lone Star Brahmas, 7:05pm
Corpus Christi IceRays head coach John Becanic is about as experienced as it gets. His 20+ year junior coaching career has taken him everywhere from the AWHL to the NAHL, to the OHL, to the WHL and back to the NAHL. That is why hopes were high at the beginning of last season for the IceRays, who brought in the veteran coach to try and step up their development of players and also put together a winner on the ice for the fans of Corpus Christi.
From a pure fan standpoint, the IceRays are an incredible success. It was less than five years ago that Corpus Christi, Texas was a minor league market that had run its course and a change was needed. Since entering the NAHL in 2010-11, the IceRays have been one of the league's top drawing teams and last year they lead the NAHL with an average attendance of 3,235 fans. That included over 12,700 fans in their final regular season weekend series in March, which set a new team record.
However, things on the ice did not go as planned for Becanic and the IceRays. After getting out to a respectable 4-4-1 record in the early going, the IceRays won just two of their next 15 games. Corpus Christi was next to last in the NAHL in goals per game at only 2.07 and their leading scorer had under 30 points. "We all have to take responsibility for what happened last year, but it was a young team that competed. We had a lot of young guys and didn't have the type of line-up that was conducive to long term success in the NAHL," said Becanic. "We learned some valuable lessons and I think it helped us build for this year. A lot of decisions we made last year from a roster standpoint were actually dedicated to helping us build and grow for this year."
This summer was an overhaul on the roster as well and it is clear that Becanic is wanting to change some things right away. "We went out and try to find specific players at each position that are going to try and help us win a championship. We had a specific plan for all of our tenders and draft picks. Our tenders were all going to be younger and those that we drafted were going to be older players with junior experience," said Becanic. "It was about building relationships for nine months. We wanted to build them before the players got to Corpus Christi. That means by the time they get here we know who they are and they are ready to get to work right away. There is no introduction period. They come in on day one and understand the expectations."
Corpus Christi is already a week into camp and was the first team to report in the NAHL and Becanic said he had a reason behind that for the 2014-15 group. "So much emphasis and spotlight is on the NAHL Showcase that I wanted our guys to be playing their best when they got there. We also start regular season games the week before in Topeka, so we have to be ready to go," said Becanic. "I want them physically and mentally ready to go. I want them to play well at the NAHL Showcase. Win or lose in almost secondary to making sure that each of them is playing at the top of their game in front of that many scouts."
Corpus Christi could have returned 18 players from last season, but Becanic chose to return only five, which was a big indication of how he would like to change some things. Becanic said that everyone that was brought in this season had a foundation that was based upon hard work. "I wanted guys that weren't just going to do the minimum, but really put in the work ethic that we expect them to in order to make them a better player and make us a better team. Everyone is going to paddle our boat, not just a few," said Becanic. "The coaching across the NAHL is outstanding, so everyone is competing and working hard and therefore we had to elevate our level of competition and had to become bigger and stronger."
In goal, there will be two new faces including Andrew Lindgren (Eagan High School-MN) and Luke Pickar, who played for the Anaheim Jr. Ducks 18U team last season in the NAPHL and was one of the top goalies in the 18U Division. "Both of our goalies hate giving up goals and they both compete. Those two guys are at the front of our boat and paddling. When they get scored on, they don't slam their stick, they just get stronger and more determined. With the system we play they just have to keep us in games and not give up the soft goals that take away momentum," said Becaninc.
However, offense is where the IceRays really want to improve. That will start with veteran forwards like Wes Michaud and Brad LeLievre, who both were in double digits in goals last season. Joe Chitwood will also return as one of the few veteran IceRays players up front. The defense will be almost entirely new as well as Becanic's major overhaul of the roster.
"We want to win a banner, no question about it. You go around to the arenas in hockey and you see the banners hanging and those are forever. We want to do something this year to put a banner in our arena…whether that is a division title, a playoff title or a Robertson Cup title, we want to do accomplish something as a team that is going to last."
Next up in the NAHL 24 in 24 series: Coulee Region Chill, August 25th.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling is one of my favorite Harry Potter books, it is about Harry's third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, a prison known for being inescapable. Everyone is worried about Harry because they all think that Sirius broke out to finish Lord Voldemort's work as his faithful servant and kill Harry. All Harry is concerned with is winning the Quidditch cup and having a good year with his favorite teacher Remus Lupin. But Harry also has to face the dementors guarding the school, they are on the lookout for Sirius Black. This is one of my favorite Harry Potter books because it is just before it gets dark and Harry can still be a kid. I recommend Harry Potter to everyone, it is a must read.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3) by J.K. Rowling

I am really enjoying this Peaceful Season stamp set! It's a Level 2 Hostess Gift and it has so many possiblilities!
I used the holly today to do a card for the CAS challenge over on SCS. It was a sketch challenge of this card .
I know it's early for Christmas cards and I hope you won't tire of seeing Christmas too soon. With so many cards to make, I feel like I need to get an early start. Even then, I'll probably not be ready on time. I'll try to fit in something else once in awhile.
This card was pretty quick and easy. I inked the stamp with markers and stamped it on a Natural White card base then used the markers to add some veins in the leaves and darken the berries a bit. I masked the holly and stamped a few more leaves to fill it out. I love the way this stamps because it makes it look frosty without adding any glitter.
By the way, thanks for all the positive comments about my very glittery card. I'm glad I posted it and didn't trash it because it seems that many of you enjoyed it!
A clear block works well as a guide for the lines. Unfortunately, I didn't have a block the right size, so I had to carefully slide it over as I drew.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Peaceful Season, Many Merry Messages
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Naturals White
Accessories: Soft Suede, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler SU Markers
I hope you found some inspiration here tonight.

JK Rowling has a treat in store for 'Harry Potter' fans, with four new short stories set to take the wizarding world global.
- Everything You Need To Know About 'Harry Potter' Spin-Off, 'Fantastic Beasts'
- JK Rowling Approves Of This 'Harry Potter' Baby
- Stop What You're Doing - There's Going To Be An Eighth 'Harry Potter' Book After All
Until now, the 'Harry Potter' stories have been set exclusively here in Britain, though the author has now revealed plans to debut a four-part story series of tales from across the Atlantic, which will be unveiled on fansite Pottermore from Tuesday.
An official trailer for the new stories teases: "History has many secrets. The official story is never the whole story.
"Look beyond the surface and you will find another world running parallel to our own a secret world where magic is real."
The wizarding world's history awaits in @JK_Rowling's #MagicInNorthAmerica: https://t.co/GnafCTrRMI #FantasticBeastshttps://t.co/eDWLE2I3V1— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) March 7, 2016
The History Of Magic In North America' series precedes the upcoming film, 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them', a 'Harry Potter' spin-off which will take place in New York.
The author has revealed that she'll be tackling events in American history, such as the Salem witch trials, as well as Native American legends in the new stories.
'Fantastic Beasts' will debut in UK cinemas in November, starring Eddie Redmayne in the lead role of Newt Scamander, an explorer who travels to New York in pursuit of finding out all he can about magical creatures all over the wizarding world.
The film - the first in a new trilogy - will see JK Rowling make her screenwriting debut, having already penned the fictional textbook on which the film is based.


text: I have a 92 3.0 ranger. Has a few issues that I would like help with. 1. Truck seems low on power. Barely makes it up long hills. Seems to wind up easily and engine seems rather high pitched and whiny... No deep growling engine sounds. 2. How in the name of all that is good and decent are you supposed to get to the spark plugs and replace them? Any tips? 3. Truck jumps when it shifts into second. There is a slight delay when putting it into reverse and it wants to lurch back when it does. Any ideas? 4. How much can I except out of this type of truck. I replaced a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Ranger and am a little worried that it is not up for much besides a computer vehicle.
