Each of us are beautifully unique in our own way. With our skills, abilities, personality and character and many do not recognize this. We live in a society where everything is compared to other people's lives as if our own is not unique and blessed itself. Each persons blessings and gifts are different but it is constantly subjected to where what they have, is what we should have and the blessings we have are just not enough or worthy enough to be thankful for. Let's stop trying to "keep up with the Jones" and keep up with ourselves. If we do that we would be much happier with everything in our lives because we are happy everything Allah has blessed us with. You are different and every person on the planet is different. Blessed with a different lifestyle, character, personality, and it'll always be that way. If you waste your life comparing and trying to keep up, you'll fail living your life while trying to compete with people who aren't even competing with you. You are in your own race, trying to build a life of your own with everything you've been blessed with and not with others blessings that never reach your hands. Only do as much as you can and be happy with what you've been blessed with. You'll live a much more happier life.

Substituting Your Thoughts
The mind can only carry one thought at a time. Whether that thought you are thinking of is negative or positive, you choose it. So whenever you come across a negative thought, you will substitute that thought with something positive in order for you to reinforce and reiterate the positive thought to wash the negative thought away. If you choose the negative thought, you will more than likely carry this as a burden which eventually cause a break down in your happiness and well being. Would you rather have a garden full of flowers or weeds? The weeds represent the negative thoughts and the flowers represent your positive thoughts. The weeds are destructive to the garden, just as a negative thought is destructive to the mind and the flowers are beautiful for the garden, just as a positive thought is beautiful for the mind. It is always encouraged to substitute your negative thoughts with your positive thoughts, as this will enable you to be happy and lead you to a more successful lifestyle.
Explanatory Style
95% of your emotions are determined by the way you talk to yourself. This is called "explanatory style." Whatever events have taken place in your life and how you speak to yourself about them, whether negative or positive, will determine how you feel about them. It is always BEST, BEST, BEST, to speak to yourself about the events that have unfolded and are unfolding in a positive light, to help you have a positive mindset, in order to set yourself up to be the strongest version of yourself. The more you speak to yourself in a positive light, the more you will feel better about what has transpired and what will transpire in the future. It will help you progress and walk towards what you want without holding you back by regretting what has already happened. The more you speak to yourself in a negative light, how you feel about yourself over what has transpired and what will transpire in the future, the worse you will feel and the more you will bring yourself down. The more you will hold yourself back from being the strongest version of yourself. It is essential to think positively about yourself, the events in your life, no matter how bad they seem to have a healthy mind and a healthy body.
Random Thoughts – Pt 2
Know the value of yourself and never let anyone ever put a value on you. Never let anyone put a value on your success or how you succeed because they are just individuals who are looking in from the outside. They never know what it has taken to be successful and what it'll take to be successful. You never have anything to prove to anyone except yourself. The competition that you seem to be in, is a competition with yourself. There are no competitors in this race except the mind which you'll need to overcome when you doubt your ability and where you are going.
It is not about the instant results because they are less satisfying but the results that come from continuous work, a struggle, a hardship, will make you satisfied and proud. Know a hardship is building an efficient, strong minded individual who has endured an experience that has left the mind to grow and mature.
Anything given easy, anything that you didn't work for, that was just handed to you, will make you lazy, comfortable and will leave you no desire to progress, except to be given more. Comfort is the destroyer of change, so never get too comfortable where you are and always look to where you want to be. The past is building blocks for the present situation you are in and the present itself, will build a future for you, the future you want as long as the belief that whatever comes your way is never perceived as negative to bring you down. To take you away from what you thought was yours.
Always work towards what you want and look to excel in it, no matter what it is. A positive mind, makes for a healthy body and a negative mind will slowly destroy your health and yourself, it will also never let you progress to where you should be in life. Always think positive, no matter the shortcomings in life, no matter the hardships in life. You are being led in a direction that will benefit your life in the near future but you must constantly remind yourself to be positive about what has missed you cause it was going to miss you regardless and what is meant for you, was always going to make its course towards you. This doesn't mean, you live lifeless with no functions at all but be functional and be functional in a direction of change that you would want in your life. For a life that you will want for the betterment of not only for yourself but for your family as well.
What you think of yourself, is how other will receive you, so think good, be confident and insha'Allah you'll be received well. Complain less and be thankful more. It'll take stress off the mind and help you receive the blessings with the fullness they should be received in.
This is just some random thoughts for this evening which I'd thought I'd share with you. Thanks for reading. Insha'Allah, it helps.
Don't Doubt Yourself
There is tremendous power in your ability to achieve. Don't ever doubt yourself or your ability. Don't ever think you are a failure. Don't ever think you are a bum. You are neither of those. A bum or a failure and never have been. Believe in the ability you possess because it makes you beautiful and makes everything about you beautiful as well. Do what you love and do it from your heart. If you do that, you will achieve whatever it is you want. Believe in yourself and make progress. Every single water that drips into that soil is making progress for that plant to grow. It doesn't grow over night or in 2 days but in a month or more. So don't be upset about that progress that you don't see but be encouraged by the progress you are making to see that achievement being fulfilled. It'll happen in due time. Don't stop, keep going forward.
Just A Random Thought
Our parents want us to be a reflection of them, proud, eager, almost like trophies held up in the air, pounding their chest but at the same time, many parents want us to reflect their dreams and their goals which they did not accomplish due to the way they lived their life. It is in this dream, their goals, they also want us to reflect that and in that we lose ourselves. We lose the value of our gifts, we lose our skills and abilities, while they push us to pursue theirs subconsciously. Parents of course want us to succeed but what is it we are actually succeeding in? Are we just succeeding in pursuing their goals and dreams, which they weren't able to attain due to certain circumstances? Doctors, lawyers, dentists or whatever it may be that seems to be tied to the word "success"? What is success if that is just tied to certain careers based on other people's perception? If the perception is all that mattered, attaining this title just to reflect or embody their goals which they dreamed of finally came true through their children, what is success to you? Has success been tied to their dreams and their goals? What about you? How do you feel about success? What is success to you? What is that you love to do or is what you love to do based on what your parents want you to do? Have you ever learned to think of what makes you happy in a career that no matter the money involved or the life involved, it will matter to you in the end? It will put a smile on your face or what your parents have influenced you into doing is really what you want to do? Have you been able to find your potential or have your skills, your God given talents and abilities lost in this transition which have been influenced through a perception of success based on their goals and dreams? Ask yourself, are you living out theirs or are you living yours? What is it that you really love to do, sit down and think about it. Ask yourself is money the only thing that matters? It is true we need money to attain a living. To feed and shelter our family or ourselves but money is never tied into permanent happiness, so if you live for the dollar, then you are not truly living for yourself and will never find what you are trying to attain because the goals never end. Ask yourself, are you doing what you love to do today or are you doing what has been taught to you, influenced through a career which is perceived as successful?
What Inspires Me To Be Positive?
To be honest with you I really dislike having a negative state of mind. I always want to push in a direction which is more fitting for the mind, the body and the soul. I've also been through things in my life alhumduliah, which has allowed me to be a certain way, to be the person I am. You know, things happen in your life and you can either stay the way you are, bitter, sad, depressed, worrying about what has gone and was not ever meant to be or you can move on and be with what is meant to be and know that Allah is controller of the affairs. When you become upset about things that aren't in your control, because in reality, we do have choices in our lives but you also have a choice to progress with what you go through. Some people don't do nothing with their experiences, they stay in them believing everything that has happened was to harm them and people are only out to get them. People are not really in that sense. Many come as lessons to teach you about yourself and the character, the person you really are. Some are there to test your patience, every aspect of it. Some are there to test your eman (faith) and would you be willing to sell yourself to the shaytan and doubt everything Allah has created, so I never think that way, never negative. Allah has created us as very intelligent individuals and it is sad to see that we don't see ourselves that way. We always look for others to reassure our skills and abilities. We always look for acceptance. Who is willing to accept me and my ability? My beauty? My car? My job? When all these things have been a gift to you but you have not yet discovered it and I do believe, we as people waste our potential on petty things. When you teach one person, you teach the masses. That person learns from you and teaches someone else, whether they consciously know it or not. It's like a mother and the children. The mother, the parent, is one and the children are many but so many lessons are being taught from that single form of creation, which Allah has blessed with intelligence and experience. I've always wanted to be a writer and it's has been the best form of expression for me. It has helped me a lot whenever I went through things. What you notice is people look at the results, the instant results. What can I get instantly? But the long term effects are the results you really need. It's like having a vegetable garden to feed your family and you want it to grow so quickly as soon as you plant those seeds but through the months or years or whatever it may be, it feeds more than just 1 family cause there are enough in that garden to go around. Those are results that matter. Of course, short term results are satisfying but if you always got them, what would be the point of even working your butt off? What would the point of always trying to challenge yourself? If the results came instantly, we would never see the potential we have. We would never grow or develop a solid experience from the struggles and hardships. I know many people will not agree with everything I've written or said whether in this piece or many other pieces. Some people may think I've lost my mind and some people will agree but that is the matter of your opinion. I am only here to share ideas, experiences, here to help you to be, as one of the people who inspire me says "the strongest version of yourselves." This is what inspires me to be positive. Life is short and you've always been blessed compared to someone else. Someone below you, so why not be positive? What don't you have? If you are alive today, reading this, doing many things, then you have no reason to have a negative state of mind no matter what has happened in your life thus far. Im sure the people who are dead, would agree with me because they no longer have a chance to taste, touch, feel, see while you do. Be positive, smile, it fixes the heart and makes it beat a bit slower and slows you down from thinking negatively.
Constantly Changing
We are constantly changing who we are on a day to day basis. No matter the little things you do, the things you learn, they are helping you change into the person you will become. Some people when going through changes, they take everything life has thrown at them and sit in a dark place. They sit in this dark place, concentrating on life's sorrows which were intended to make them stronger. Depression doesn't make you weak. It helps strengthen your mind to overcome life's trials. They are there to help you progress in a way that is unimaginable. There are many things we don't know about ourselves until we are placed into those circumstances. Some people never want to leave or progress further and some people take it for what is, no matter how tough it is, no matter how draining it is, they battle with their heart and soul to change the situation they are in. Change is going to happen, no matter what your life may look like so when you change, change to overcome situations easier, to be happier, to get to a better place. You are not static, to be in one place, to be in one mind set and to be upset about life's trials. Overcome and progress. Nothing in life is difficult, it's just how we shape our attitude when difficulties arise. Everything given has been given by the will of Allah and will always be, especially the strength we possess to overcome whatever it may be. Don't doubt your ability nor doubt the strength of prayer either. Change always for the better, to improve your life not to go back to the life that held you back or that made you stay in a state of mind that doubted your strength.
What Is Success?
People think success is money, cars, lots of materialistic things but that is not true success, not even close to it. True success is reaching contentment within your heart. Understanding your failures, understanding your past and accepting the blessings that come through those things. How many of us look at life and say, truly say, alhumdulilah (thanks to Allah) for everything that has happened? Many of us don't say that because we dwell on so many things that have passed us by. We hang onto these things with utter disappointment. We can't look at ourselves in the mirror because we feel we have failed ourselves but we have not. None of these things are failures but these are building blocks to finding that success we truly want and we truly deserve. Success begins with accepting the decree of Allah and that is with everything. We must always tie our camel, leave the rest to Allah, smile proudly and walk through any door we please believing with sincerity that what is going on beyond that door is best for me and what will happen Allah is going to will for me. It is for my growth as a person. It is for my growth as coming closer to Allah and him denying my wishes, is not because He dislikes something for me or because he doesn't understand what I am going through but because He always wants the BEST for you. Don't ever settle for just good because if Allah gives you the BEST in everything, make sure what you want in life is the best and the best thing is, contentment within your heart. Find it, keep it and cherish it. Never let it go because it's what true success really is.

Lighting Wall Sconces Traditional - If you've ever before felt the necessity to get back and relax after a difficult day's work in the office or to create a quiet romantic night time, or you want to point out your latest artwork acquisition above the mantelpiece. Or just simply trying to light up a uninteresting area, then you should probably think about wall structure sconces since they can do all of this for you and more. Nothing at all does the work for creating the right mood like the right type of lighting and wall structure sconces give you several options to exploit the interplay between light and color to make a brilliant atmosphere.
The light produced by sconces originates from a bulb, which is mirrored off the reflective surface of the sconce as well as the top which it is targeted on. This is where wall structure scones can be so functional in their utility since different surfaces and various types of sconces may be used to create various gorgeous effects. For example, over a color absorbing surface, light from the sconces will mix with the top color to provide a softened hue as backdrop whereas, over a reflective surface, the sconces can give an environ swathed in light.
If one were to look for wall structure sconces online, they may come across as much as 20 categories or even more; including the traditional artwork d?cor types in a number of different surface finishes from wrought iron to fantastic, with support set ups ranging from swing action biceps and triceps to down biceps and triceps etc. On first glance, the sheer variety of wall structure sconces can be just a bit mind-boggling, but one can certainly slim down the list of choices by determining their own needs first.
A number of the questions that should come to mind when searching for wall structure sconces include, what is the lighting process I wish to accomplish? What is the mood I'd like to generate? What is the current light situation in the room, including light that will come in from doors and windows? How high is the ceiling, how huge is the wall structure etc. You'll find the answers to all these questions simply by using a handheld flashlight and pointing it up, down, sideways, near or from the surface in order to ascertain the type of wall structure sconce is wonderful for you.
Although putting in sconces is usually easy enough to make it a "do it yourself" job, in particular when most wall structure sconces install in a similar way, you may need to look into the wiring strategies for your place. And if you observe that the wiring must be changed or upgraded, you need to hire a specialist to do the unit installation. You'll also need the services of a specialist if the sconce requires a dimmer or special switch.

This meme is full of outright lies, factual contortions, and unsupported speculation. In other words, it's perfect for Stupid Bad Memes.
Let's start with the United States Federal Reserve System, also known as the Fed. The U.S. Fed is the central bank of the United States. It was created in 1913 as part of the Federal Reserve Act. While the Fed's responsibilities have evolved over time, its basic function has always been to provide a measure of stability to the United States economy. (Obviously it has been more successful at some times than at others.) The Fed monitors and controls the supply of money, supervises and regulates the nation's banks, and ostensibly keeps a thumb on interest rates and prices, all in the service of protecting the financial interests of Americans.
It should come as no surprise that an institution neck-deep in America's finances has become the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Some of the most impressively bizarre and convoluted theories ever devised focus on the shadowy organizations allegedly controlling the United States Federal Reserve, including the Illuminati, the New World Order, and, of course, the Jews. All of these conspiracy theories play on a common fear: that our wealth is not really under our control; instead, back-stage deals between (usually foreign) billionaires are subverting our hard-won paychecks to their nefarious purposes. And what purposes might those be? Why, nothing less grandiose than the control of the entire world's financial system, and all the politics money can buy.
I'll admit: these theories do have a certain paranoid appeal. After all, how many of us really understand the intricate workings of upper-level finance management in the United States? How many of us are privy to the goings-on that decide the value of our money, or who can and cannot control it? Just as a dark room or a bump in the night inspire us to conjure images of ghosts, the apparent opacity and complexity of our nation's highest tier of financial control cause us to dream of sinister puppeteers that run the entire show. I understand the appeal of these theories, but the rational mind must not allow itself to be seduced by them. At some point we must resort to critical thinking. Our judgments must be based on evidence.
Before we examine that evidence, let's take a look at the Rothschild family. The Rothschilds (Rothschildren?) are the descendants of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a German Jew who opened a bank in the 1760s in the Free City of Frankfurt. He did quite well for himself and bequeathed his wealth to his fives sons, who spread the family business and established the seeds of a dynasty. At the height of their influence, the Rothschilds were a formidable economic force. During the 19th century, they possessed one of the world's largest private fortunes, and several members of the Rothschild clan held positions of nobility in the governments of Europe. Today, the Rothschilds' fortune and influence have dwindled somewhat, the family's wealth having been divided among hundreds of descendants; even so, they are not hurting for money.
The idea that the Rothschild family controls the United States Federal Reserve probably stems from the work of authors Gary Kah and Eustace Mullins. According to Kah, the U.S. Fed is directly owned and operated by foreign interests, including the Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin. Kah alleges that the Rothschild banks – and other Jewish-owned foreign financial institutions – are "Class A shareholders" of the New York branch of the U.S. Fed. Never mind that the U.S. Fed does not have "Class A shareholders"; its stocks are classified as member stocks or public stocks. Also, in order to believe this, you'd have to ignore legislation incorporated into the formation of the Fed which specifies that only American banks can be shareholders.
Mullins (who passed away in 2010) claimed that the New York branch was 63% owned by a cohort of eight American banks, which were in turn owned by foreign interests. Chief among these foreign controllers, according to Mullins, is the London House of Rothschild. Mullins's claims are slightly more plausible than Kah's, in that they do not require an overt violation of the laws that were created to govern the Fed, but they still lack evidential support.
Both men's sources are elusive. Mullins claimed that the Federal Reserve Bulletin listed the Rothschilds as share owners, but that simply isn't true. The Federal Reserve Bulletin has never published a list of shareholders for any of the Federal Reserve Banks (there are twelve altogether). Gary Kah's sources are unnamed Swiss and Saudi associates.
Mullins's and Kah's assertions both hinge on the idea that the entire U.S. Fed can be manipulated via its New York branch. According to an article published by Policital Research Associates, that isn't true either. Each branch of the Fed answers directly to the federal government, with no branch having more control than any of its siblings. Also contrary to the claims of Mullins and Kah, any profit generated by the U.S. Fed devolves directly to the United States Government, and not to foreign organizations.
Whatever influence the Rothschild family has in the United States, they do not own or control the U.S. Fed; ergo, the second sentence of this meme is entirely false. It should therefore be of no concern to the average American citizen (or to anybody else, really) whether Adolf Hitler was a Rothschild descendant.
But just for the sake of thoroughness…was Adolf Hitler a Rothschild descendant?
There's no good evidence to suggest that he was. Here's what the meme does get right: Adolf was the son of Alois Hitler, né Schicklgruber, who was the illegitimate son of Maria Schicklgruber and…somebody. The identity of Alois Hitler's biological father is not known, although speculations are rampant. Among the more believable hypotheses is that Alois's father was Johann Georg Hiedler, the man who would later marry Maria Schicklgruber and raise Alois. In an 1876 testimony before a notary and three witnesses, Alois claimed that Johann was his father and officially claimed the surname Hiedler, which was probably regularized to Hitler by a clerk.
It's also possible that Alois's father was Johann Nepomuk Hüttler, brother to Johann Georg Hiedler, and Adolf's maternal great grandfather (It gets complicated, okay?). Since Alois's birth certificate is mute vis à vis his biological father, we may never know for certain.
It seems unlikely, however, that Alois's father was one of Maria's Jewish employers. The legend of Maria's employment in a Jewish household arises from the testimony of Hans Frank, Adolf Hitler's private lawyer. According to Frank, Adolf Hitler asked him to research Hitler's genealogy in the 1930's, following an alleged blackmail letter from one of Hitler's relatives. Frank claims to have turned up evidence that Maria Schicklgruber, Adolf's paternal grandmother, was employed at the time of her pregnancy by a Jewish household in Graz named Frankenberger. Allegedly, 19-year-old Leopold Frankengruber was the one who impregnated 42-year-old Maria Schicklgruber, and Alois was the result.
Historians largely discount Frank's account of Hitler's paternal heritage, largely because it doesn't fit with facts. Maria Schicklgruber never lived in Graz, and even if she had, the Jews had been expelled from Graz since the 15th century and would not be allowed to return until Alois was nearly 30 years old. The story presented by Hans Frank is therefore quite improbable.
At no point did Hans Frank draw a connection between Maria Schicklgruber and the Rothschild family. The Hitler-Rothschild connection is purported to have started with an Office of Strategic Services psychological evaluation of Adolf Hitler – one aimed to smear Hitler, if you believe the modern Hitler supporters. (In general, I don't, but I agree that the evidence for a Hitler-Rothschild connection is flimsy at best.)
So let's summarize all the ways in which this meme goes wrong:
- There is no good evidence that Adolf Hitler is part of the Rothschild legacy.
- There is no good evidence that the Rothschild family controls or owns the U.S. Fed.
- In fact, the U.S. Fed was set up specifically to prevent dabbling by outside interests.
- There's no good evidence that Alois Hitler was Lionel Rothschild's son.
- And even if he was Lionel Rothschild's son, he was never claimed by Rothschild.
- Hitler was not Alois's mother-in-law's maiden name; it was the surname of his adoptive (and possibly biological) father.
- Alois did not adopt the name Hiedler (or Hitler) until he was fully grown, and after his mother had already died. By that point, his illegitimacy was no secret.
- Evelyn de Rothschild does not control the United States.
- I sincerely hope that none of our elected officials believe this tripe. (Although considering some of the other things they seem to believe, it wouldn't surprise me.)
It took a good deal of research to write this post, and that meant reading a lot of conflicting opinions. The difficult part about researching a controversial topic is that you must always be mindful of an author's agenda. That's hard work, I admit. It's much easier to just take the word of a meme, particularly when that meme sort of confirms something you already believe, but come on, conspiracy theorists…it's time to wake up.

Continuing my plans to let interested parties know what I'm up to…
On Monday 22nd, I'll have a regular BPS (British Psychological Society) teleconference at 9am. Then, as well as clinical work (I'm an NHS clinical psychologist), I will be having meetings with colleagues from FACT (the Liverpool-based Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) to discuss a project concerning wearable devices for veterans and people psychologically affected by conflict.
On Tuesday, I'll be concentrating on University business.
On Wednesday 24th, I shall be representing the BPS at a meeting of the European Federation of Psychology Associations (EFPA) in Amsterdam which will be discussing the coordination of psychologists in research grant calls from the EU.
On Thursday 25th, I shall represent the BPS at a stakeholder roundtable meeting organised by the BMA and chaired by Baroness Sheila Hollins to discuss what collaborative action can be taken following the publication of the BMA Board of Science analysis report, 'Prescribed drugs associated with dependence and withdrawal – building a consensus for action'.
The stakeholders at the meeting included representatives from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Royal College of GPs, the Royal College of Physicians, NICE, Public Health England, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, the Royal College of Nursing, the General Medical Council, as well as a number of withdrawal charities (REST Project, BAT, The Bridge Project, ADS, Recovery & Renewal).
- it was agreed that NICE should be encouraged to set up a commission into withdrawal, and that this should result in new guidance for practitioners
- it was agreed that there should be proper training on prescribed drug dependence & withdrawal within the curricula at medical schools
- it was agreed that more research is needed both into optimal withdrawal protocols as well as long term harms, particularly with regard to antidepressants
- there appeared to be almost universal support for a national helpline to provide support to people affected by prescribed drug dependence
The BMA are now going to write up the agreed actions from the meeting and propose next steps.
I'll then be travelling up to Edinburgh, to attend a debate on the recent BPS report 'Understanding Psychosis' with a wide range of stakeholders and experts (not all of whom are likely to share my views).

Do Fathers Have the Same Rights as Mothers?
Father's rights can be involved in almost any family case where children are concerned, just like mother's rights. People used to assume that mothers automatically received custody of the children, but that is certainly no longer the case. Each parent, whether a mother, or a father, has equal rights to their children. The Superior Courts have evolved far beyond the days of awarding custody solely to mothers and leaving fathers with only every other weekend.
In some cases, a mother may not allow a father to sign a birth certificate. If that is the case, paternity must be established before a father who is not married to the mother of the child may file a custody petition in the court.
Why Should I Hire Wolf & Shore Law Group to Handle My Case Involving Father's Rights?

We have had our last two meets in the last 2 months. The teams have worked hard and have done well. The Stroiesti team was not able to continue the season, so the last 2 meets were between the two teams from Betal Church. Team Betal A won both meets, giving them a perfect score. Congratulations to all the teams and Congratulations to Betal A you're going to Nationals!
Our final meet was held in a park in Guru Humorului, about an hour from Suceava. After the meet, the teams left to have in the adventure park. I didn't join them–not really for the preschooler/toddler set. But I heard they had lots of fun. Thank you to Mariana and Ana for all their help with the meets. And thanks to Ancuta for taking pictures!

Poirier was sound asleep in her bungalow on Pine St. in Hudson, when she was shocked awake by three loud bangs. It was 2:09 a.m. on Sunday.
"I thought it was thunder," Poirier said during an interview Monday. "My dog (Riley) is beyond terrified of thunder. I thought he might be banging against the door trying to get away."
Poirier called out to Riley as she exited her bedroom at the back of the house.
She came face to face with two men. They had kicked in the front door. She was tackled to the floor. One man choked her while the other ransacked the house, tearing doors off closets and ripping drawers out and tossing them on the floor.
"They were yelling at me in French, 'Where's the cash! Give us the cash!'" Poirier said.
They kicked Riley twice to keep the dog at bay and the man straddling Poirier squeezed her throat so hard, she was on the verge of passing out. But she refused to let them win.
"I used my elbows, my teeth, everything I could," she said. "I bit both of them on their hands and wrists. I wanted to leave a mark. I was fighting for my life."
Poirier, 41, played rugby for 11 years. He father was a hockey player and her mother a fitness instructor.
"I've got good genes," she said. "They messed with the wrong person."Poirier has a security camera. It captured two men casing the house a couple of weeks ago. She is convinced it is the same two men. She is also of the mind that they received bad information and hit the house thinking there was a wad of cash to be had or a safe to be emptied.
"I told them to take the money I had — $40 in my wallet," Poirier said. "But they kept yelling at me to get them the money."
Poirier is married, but her husband was away that night. The front light was on, the doors were locked and there were two cars in the driveway.
"They didn't even go around to the side door where it was dark," she said. "They kicked in the front door right under the light. I really think they thought nobody was home."
Security camera footage shows the two men entering the house. It also recorded the sound of Poirier screaming.
Poirier was able to convince the intruders to let her stand up and go get her wallet.
The second she was on her feet, she dashed for the side door and escaped. She ran down the street screaming. Poirier estimates the invasion lasted around four minutes.
"An angel (neighbour) driving a van up the street saw me and stopped to help," Poirier said. "The woman had only moved in two days ago and was still unloading and unpacking boxes. She moved to Hudson because it was safe."
Poirier was born and raised in Hudson and has never felt unsafe.
The Sûreté du Québec showed up within 10 minutes. A crime investigation unit was called in to dust for prints and collect clues. The major crime unit of the SQ has taken over the investigation.
"People have nightmares about being frozen and not able to scream, or wanting to run, but not being able to move," Poirier said. "I now know that I'm a fighter. I don't freeze."
Poirier is still recovering from the emotional shock but said she is surrounded by friends and family.
"It was traumatic, but I feel confident we're going to find these guys," she said. "I'm lucky to be alive. And I am lucky to be so well-supported by the community."
Poirier's advice to people is to keep their doors locked, the exterior of the house well lit and to install a security firstname.lastname@example.com

Model is 5'9 and wears size XS.
The BOND LITE dress is a mixture of two of your favorite silhouettes. The front features a curved waistline with a shirred effect. The same shirring lends an elegant touch to the poet sleeve finished with a fitted cuff. When it comes to fit, this style is slightly a-line from the chest down and gets slightly wider at the hips due to the shirred fabric dropping from the waist. The high-low hemline mimicks the curved shape at the waist.
The back of this linear look is straight and sleek from the shoulders down. The bottom is cut to be shorter than the front of the dress for a unique asymmetrical hemline from the side.
-Stay true to the size chart for the overall slightly relaxed fit of this style.
SIZE GUIDE: If you fall between two sizes and are wider on the bottom, opt for the larger of the two sizes if you prefer extra wiggle room. Keep in mind that this fabric has plenty of stretch.
LENGTHS AND WIDTHS: Approximate measurements are take when dress is on a flat surface. Lengths are measured from middle of shoulder to the shortest part of the high-low hemline in the front. The back hemline is also measured from the shoulder down (it is approximately
1 1/2-2 inches shorter than the front length for style purposes). For width, double the number for complete circumference around the body.

bond lite MERLOT
It 'SEAMS' that everything always comes together at Linear. Introducing the #linearBONDLITE-our newest frock that you'll instantly fall in love with. It's a reimagined version of our bestselling linear look (#linearBOND), now in a fabric so luxuriously soft and stretchy, it's way beyond basic. An amalgamation of some of your favorite linear looks, think of the BOND LITE as a 2-in-1 creation meant for all occasions.
So here's the long and the short of it...
-It's playful and pretty with a bit of a punch ( à la features you love from our previous styles).
-Surely you'll fall for the shirring (also found in our BELLE and BOHEME beauties) with a bit of a twist in the form of a..curve (meant to enhance your natural curve)!
-Well, High-Low there! Our signature hemline makes a comeback by copycatting the curve at the waist. But. Wait. There's. More.
-See the staight cut silhouette in the back of this frock? It's saying 'I mean business, but I'm ok with playtime on the side.' Notice my convoluted way of trying to explain how the the streamlined style on the back of the dress matches up with the fun-filled finesse from the front of this frock. They essentially... BOND together. Insert air quotes where necessary. Wink wink ;)
- Let's talk about all the right angles. Because asymmetry rocks, we cut the back of this dress so it would be one level up from the front (Everyone will see you walk the (asymmetrical) line when you make your grand exit). This concept is most visible at the side seam where the shorter side meets up with the curved edge from the front. Got my point?
Have you fallen in love with this dual concept creation? If so, it's time to get connected with the #linearBONDLITE :)
94% Modal Rayon
6% Spandex
This is an extremely soft and stretchy fabric that is used in all of our 'basic' collection. It's like your favorite t-shirt fabric, but WAY BETTER.
Hand/Machine wash cold -delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry. (may shrink up to 1 1/2 inches depending on your machine) Iron low with dress inside out. Or, steam with distilled water (to avoid water spots) by holding steamer approx 6 inches away from garment.

The people who already know how to do that don't exist. We're hiring for learners and adapters—people who can help us make financial services the way it ought to be.
The service is designed to help increase customers' long-term returns and lower taxes for retirement planning, building wealth, and other financial goals. By adding transparency to the financial services industry, betterment is a force for social good.
This opportunity is on-site, in New York City..
RoboAdvising is a category of financial advising that has been exploding in popularity due to the fact that Roboadvisors are much more transparent and offer better returns. With human active managers charging exorbitant fees and incurring transaction costs, your money ends up actually growing less over time than it would with a more passive, algorithmic approach. This is the value proposition of RoboAdvisors.
Betterment is the largest RoboAdvisory firm that is independently owned. The only two RoboAdvisors larger than Betterment are subdivisions of companies that have decades worth of a head start in gathering assets under management.
Betterment has raised $275m in funding, they have 16 billion assets under management, and $30m in yearly revenue. This is not a company sitting on a foundation of fluff and dreams of changing the world, they know how to generate value.
Engineering Managers lead and mentor high output teams but also help craft our customer-facing applications. You'll provide hands-on leadership, shipping code alongside guiding your team through their careers. You'll collaborate closely with product & design teams to advance the look and feel of new features/products.

More News From Ellie Mae
*More News From Ellie Mae*
**By Tony Garritano**
***After a successful IPO and the acquisition of DataTrac, Ellie Mae is not slowing down. We have learned that the origination vendor Ellie Maehas released the latest upgrades to its Encompass360 mortgage management solution. The release, the first of two scheduled for 2012, contains new functionality and enhancements designed to further increase compliance, efficiency and ease of use. The major enhancements include:
****>> Integration of Encompass Commission for hosted Encompass360 Banker and Broker Edition clients. This optional module is designed to improve the accuracy of calculating and paying LO commissions, provide regulatory backup for commission payments and help reduce human error and back-office costs.
****>> Greater speed and flexibility in viewing "native" format and image-based documents. Users can now view the first pages of documents in seconds and see multiple documents as a single file within one window.
****>> Remote access to the Encompass Product & Pricing Service. Loan officers can remotely find and price loans via their iPad or Android tablet and submit the data directly to Encompass360 to create a loan file.
****>> Core updates that enable self-hosted clients to receive new updates to Encompass360 seamlessly and securely without work interruptions; allow users to choose which aspects of a loan file they want to duplicate when originating new loans for existing customers; and help calculate net tangible benefits of mortgage refinances under the FHA streamline refinance program and communicate these benefits to customers.
****The new release contains more than 230 enhancements in all. A number of the enhancements, such as the new electronic document management capabilities, were designed to align the functionality of DataTrac and Encompass360: giving DataTrac clients additional reasons to consider migrating to the Encompass platform. Similar to past releases, much of the focus of the upgrades has been on compliance, secondary marketing and trade executions.
****For instance, new call reports have been added to help lenders comply with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry requirements. Disclosure tracking for HUD requirements has also been added, and integration with the new Encompass Document engine has been improved. New secondary marketing enhancements include state-specific servicing release premium adjustments, purchase price update and lock-request reporting tools and lock-extension enhancements.
****"Our clients choose Encompass360 because they realize just how high the stakes are in today's zero-tolerance environment where the slightest error can result in a significant fine or a large buy-back request," said Jonathan Corr, chief operating officer of Ellie Mae. "Our latest release re-calibrates our automated solutions to deliver even greater efficiency and confidence to our clients."
Tony Garritano is chairman and founder at PROGRESS in Lending Association.

Top FAQs
This expansion will not block the view of the Château Laurier from Major's Hill Park. In fact, the expansion is replacing a five-level parking garage that has only recently been demolished. This new design ensures that the existing dominant views of the Château will be preserved for future generations.
The proposed expansion will include new pathways and entrances which will improve access for pedestrians and cyclists in and around Major's Hill Park, the ByWard Market and Mackenzie Avenue creating a safer and more pleasant experience – even in the winter.
Modern construction in accordance with the Heritage Guidelines makes it impossible to exactly replicate the design of the original Château. Instead, we have created a design that honours and respects the unique characteristics of the original building much like the Crystal on the ROM in Toronto or the Lantern on the Canadian Museum of Nature.
Specifically, the Heritage Guidelines clearly dictate that the design should be 'compatible and subordinate' and complement the original and that "heritage value and character defining elements" should be used as cues in the design when creating any new addition. This was achieved by limiting the height of the addition to 7 storeys which is below the historic roofline; using a combination of matching limestone and glass to complement the existing patterns; and using bronze, a more durable material to replicate the copper details of the roof.
The design's adherence to the guidelines was confirmed by ERA Architects in reports submitted to the City related to the approvals granted under the Ontario Heritage and Planning Acts.
The design is true to the historical characteristics of the original Château and includes historic elements from the building by using Indiana limestone and bronze, a more durable material to replicate the copper found on the current Château Laurier.
Yes. Throughout the entire planning process we have participated in hundreds of meetings with residents, several stakeholder groups, the City of Ottawa, elected officials, and architects.
At every step, we have listened carefully to their feedback. In fact, as a direct result of this process, we've made changes to the proposal including significant redesigns on five separate occasions. The current design, which has been approved by the City of Ottawa, responds to the feedback and direction we received throughout those consultations.
The upgrades proposed will be incredibly beneficial for the City of Ottawa and the broader community. The public will have access to an open viewing area and a portion of the new conference space will be made available to local community groups and not-for-profits to use for free. New pathways and entrances will improve access for pedestrians and cyclists in and around Major's Hill Park, the ByWard Market and Mackenzie Avenue creating a safer and more pleasant experience.
In addition, we are contributing significant capital for the expansion which will create many local jobs.
At its core, this expansion will also ensure the Château Laurier – a beloved local landmark - remains a vibrant part of our city for years to come.
As buildings age, upgrades must occur to ensure the building can continue to serve the community for years.
With the growth of Ottawa's downtown core, action needs to be taken to ensure the Château Laurier remains competitive and is not at a disadvantage to other hotel and event spaces in the area. At its core, the repair and expansion is about ensuring the Château Laurier continues to be a vibrant part of our city for years to come.
Like many historic buildings in Ottawa, the Château Laurier is also home to businesses such as a hotel, restaurants and retail stores that employ hundreds of Ottawa residents. As a landlord and owner, it is Larco's responsibility to maintain the facility to ensure those businesses continue to thrive.

Pigeon Forge, TN, United States (4E) – A theme park in Tennessee has opened a new attraction based on the tragic death of Princess Diana.
National Enquirer recently opened a theme park called National Enquirer Live! in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Among its attractions is the car crash that resulted in the death of Princess Diana, which will be recreated as a 3D experience.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, amusements manager Robin Turner described the attraction as projected on a screen where guests can see "the buildings and everything in a 3D presentation."
"It shows the pathway as she left the Ritz hotel, and the paparazzi chasing her, and the bang-flash that we think blinded the driver—and how it happened," Turner said, adding that the whole incident will be presented though computer animation.
He, added, however, that the recreation will not have any blood.
According to Cosmopolitan, the ride costs $25, which also includes a session wherein visitors will be polled about a number of conspiracy theories related to Princess Diana's death such as whether they believe Diana was pregnant at the time of the crash or whether the royal family had any involvement in the accident.
Princes Diana's car crash scene is the only controversial stop in the theme park. It also has replicas of Michael Jackson dangling his baby from a balcony of a hotel and OJ Simpson murdering his ex-wife.
While the attraction has raised concerns, with people on social media calling it a "sick" and "morbid" act, Turner assures visitors that "it's definitely not in poor taste".

Washington: The US was on Friday on the verge of ending its Syria discussions with Russia over continued bombings in Aleppo city, in which at least 400 persons were killed in the last eight days, an official said.
The US and Russia have been trying to negotiate a ceasefire in the war-torn nation, but Secretary of State John Kerry said "the bombing of Aleppo right now is inexcusable", NBC news reported.
"I think we are on the verge of suspending the discussion because it`s irrational in the context of the type of bombing taking place," Kerry said at an event in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Kerry on September 9 announced that the US and Russia had reached a ceasefire agreement that could lead to joint military coordination between the two nations against terror groups like the Islamic State (IS) if the cease-fire held for seven days.
Under the agreement, Russia was to ensure the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad stuck to the ceasefire, Kerry said at the time. But the ceasefire had been repeatedly breached, and Syria`s military had launched a massive new offensive to take back control of rebel areas.
On Wednesday, two hospitals in rebel-held Aleppo were hit by airstrikes, killing at least two persons and had affected medical services in the area, medical officials said.
Kerry in a phone call to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that the US needed to see "immediate steps to end the assault on Aleppo" or the US would start "making preparations to suspend the US/Russia bilateral engagement on Syria", State Department spokesperson John Kirby said.
Lavrov said the US needed to fulfil its role under the deal of ensuring moderate opposition groups stick to the ceasefire, NBC reported.
"Quite a few anti-government units that Washington calls `moderate` have not merely refused to carry out the September 9 Russian-US agreement on consolidating the truce ... but are merging with Jabhat al-Nusra and continue fighting against the Syrian army side by side with this al-Qaeda affiliate," Russia`s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Syria`s government has ignored calls to halt its offensive in Aleppo. The bruising campaign has been called the worst bombardment since the civil war erupted.

CSI - Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Old West: Texas Ranger ❯ Prologue
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
I never knew my life would be so exciting. Never knew what I'd go through this whole time. I never knew that getting on that train would cause me to become what I am now.
When I was 14, I decided to go live with my sheriff-for- an- uncle in southern Texas. Now, considering I lived in Alberta, in western Canada, I had to take a train. My parents were skeptical at first, but eventually they gave up. I wasn't like many of the other girls. Girls were seen as house-wives: to cook and clean and sew for their family until they found a husband. Me, on the other hand, never learned to cook or clean or sew. Not saying that my mother didn't try, she did, but I just never could learn how to. Instead of staying in the house, wearing an apron or dress; I was out with my father and younger brother, helping with the cattle and sheep, wearing a cowboy hat and leather pants. You see, my family owned a very successful farm. Heck, people believed I was a boy in a girl's body, considering I could out ride, out rope, and out track any of the boys my age. I guess I asked for it, having such short hair. But, even though I loved going out on my black cowpony, helping my father, I decided I wasn't really proper for farm life.
When I was 14, I got on the train with my horse, and headed toward southern Texas. My uncle met me at the station, and we traveled to the small town where he was sheriff. When he first saw me, leading my horse off the train, he mistook me for a stable boy. He never made the same mistake again. First, he tried to get me to simply keep an eye for the small stable next to the sheriff's office, cleaning and dusting, but he soon changed his mind. I was soon fulltime stable hand, I helped feed, groom, tack, and exercise the horses. My uncle used to say that I should have been born a boy. I resented that comment then, and I still do, but I never told my uncle. I was closest to my uncle's three sons. They were all at least four years older then me, and called me the sister they never had. They taught me how to fire a gun properly, and even gave me a pistol to practice with.
Even though my life was great, I still knew this wasn't what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I guess the real turning point for me was when I was 18. I was sweeping out the entrance to the stables when three men rode into town. Two were around the age of my uncle, another, maybe 20 years old. They had rode by and looked at me funny, I believe they were either trying to figure out what a girl was doing in pants and not a dress, or if I was a girl at all. Eventually, the oldest one figured it out, whatever it was, and nodded at me. I later figured out they were Texas Rangers. Men who rode all around Texas after being set out on 'missions' of law enforcement. I then realized what I wanted to do. I wanted to become a ranger.
But what skills did I have? I couldn't be a gun-slinger or bring a law-breaker down with my bear hands. I could ride for great distances, and I could track quite well. I didn't know if the few skills I had would help me become a ranger. Would they even accept me, even though I was a woman? I told my uncle and cousins about it over dinner that night. They laughed me out of the house. And do you think that had a bad effect on my self-esteem? Hell yeh. But it didn't stop me.
-Hillary Matthews,
Texas Ranger

Norwalk Grassroots Tennis & Education announced it will merge with Stamford Youth Tennis Academy, effective November 6. The merger will provide stronger support and services for children and youth in both Fairfield County communities.
The new name of the organization will be Norwalk/Stamford Grassroots Tennis & Education, Inc. Prior to the merger, the organizations worked to achieve the same mission and goals. The merger will allow the new, larger association to identify and leverage efficiencies, and to be bolder, stronger and more impactful in the communities they serve.
"Our mission is to build strength of character and a foundation for success through tennis and education," said Betsy McNeil, who served as Executive Director of the Norwalk organization and will retain the same title and role with the new Grassroots organization. "We provide programming both on and off the court that supports the whole child – meeting their physical, academic, and social-emotional needs. We achieve this with a relationships-first, youth development approach where we meet each child where they are and work in partnership with them to support their efforts to achieve their goals."
Founded in 1995 as Norwalk Grassroots Tennis, the organization is dedicated to supporting underserved children with programs based on the ideals of tennis legend Arthur Ashe. The free, year-round program combines tennis instruction with academic support and character development. The group has been honored multiple times by the United States Tennis Association for its excellent tennis and education programming. The Stamford Youth Tennis Academy formed in 2014 with similar goals to help underserved children learn tennis and improve their academic standing.
Grassroots anticipates serving a core group of 200-250 children ages 5-18 in the upcoming year. Norwalk's facility remains at 11 Ingalls Avenue in South Norwalk. That location is the site of the organization offices as well as the youth center and outdoor courts at the new William Rippe Tennis Center. Stamford's primary location is Cummings Park during spring, summer and fall. During the winter, Stamford and Norwalk children will be together for tennis at various indoor clubs in the area. Stamford kids will also have the opportunity to play at the Norwalk courts as well.
"We are excited to leverage each other's strengths and experiences to ensure we are continuously improving for our kids and families in both communities,'' McNeil said. "We are enjoying getting to know the children in Stamford – they are energized, engaged and passionate about tennis and the organization. Grassroots is thrilled to have the chance to work in partnership with Stamford kids, families and stakeholders to ensure all our kids have the opportunities, resources and support to build a foundation for their own success."
McNeil said Norwalk started programming for Stamford children in September. The feedback has been positive, she said and has included Friday sessions in which Stamford students travel after school to Norwalk for tennis. Events and collaborative opportunities will expand over the next year.
Arthur Goldblatt, the Founder of both organizations, is particularly pleased about the increased impact this new joint organization will have for the kids, families and communities in both Norwalk and Stamford. "The players from both programs have been practicing together already, and it is wonderful to see how well they work together, how hard they try, and how much fun they have. This will be a powerful program,'' Goldblatt said.
"As we transition into this new organization, we will embark on a strategic planning process in the coming year to take a look at where we've been, where we are, where we want to go and how we are going to get there," McNeil said. "We are eager to step back, and explore how we can deepen and expand our impact in service and support of the increasing number of kids coming to our program."

I have become interested lately in people's personal throwing tool kits. My friend and past high school art teacher does some very different techniques and uses different tools than I do. I try her way and try her tools, but I can't get accustomed to them. I believe a lot of it has to do with how and who you learn from. I also notice that most people who have learned on a kick wheel swear by them and are never really interested in an electric and same goes for electric users. I have a horrible time when I teach my students on their kick wheels, which I never seem to kick fast enough to center properly. I also notice that they pick up any tool for a certain job and stick with that tool. They search around the classroom for it before using a similar one. I have put together my tools here to share the tools that I cannot work without. There may be a few left out that I don't use daily. I admit that this post will probably be a bore to anyone who is not a potter.
These tools I use while on the wheel. Some are standard like the sponge, calipers, needle tool, and wire tool. I was taught by Dee Schaad of the University of Indianapolis art department to always use a chamois to smooth out my rims and it works very well. The two wooden stick tools are great for smoothing out and shaving and shaping the bottom of a vessel. The stick that has more a curve to it near the wire tool is also great for pulling up gently on semi thick clay walls. The large triangular rib tool is great for pulling up large pieces and smoothing out pieces like large cylinders. If you are not a potter, the calipers are for measuring, the the needle for trim the top of a wet vessel, and the wire is to cut the vessel off the wheel head when complete.
These tools are secondary in that they are not used until the pieces is bisque and/or leather hard greenware. Dee Schaad has also taught me to always use bamboo brushes when using glaze and here I have two sizes. I often use two hole cutters when making teapots or candle holders. I forgot to picture my trusty potato peeler too, which I often use to make pretty mugs. My all time favorite trimming tool is to the right. I have a ton of other trimming tools that I rarely ever use. This tool has a nice straight metal edge at the top that trims very nicely. A few other things I forgot to photograph were my hand held spray bottle and large pump spray bottle which I use to clean my studio with.

Blood of the Wolf
Author: Holly Evans
Title: Blood of the Wolf
Series: Forged in Blood 1
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy
Pairing: M/M, Bi
Rating: Four Petals
On the Author's Website:
Eight years ago, my world changed. Little did I know the rest of the world had changed with me.
My name's Niko, and I'm a made wolf shifter. Eight years ago, I endured a blood ritual that took me from a pretty normal guy and turned me into what I am today. Ever since then, I've been looking for ways to make the world a better place. I want to save people, to make sure they never suffer like I did.
Someone has been murdering born wolf shifters and using them in brutal rituals. I was given the opportunity to stop them and save lives. I leapt at the chance to make a real difference, but of course it came with a catch. I have to work with a Guardian, one of the goddess's chosen wolves. On one hand, he's everything I look for in a man. On the other, if he finds out who and what I am, then death will be a sweet release from the torture I'll endure.
I have no choice but to hope the goddess is on my side as I rush to save the lives of the born wolf shifters, all the while praying I don't lose my own life in the process.
Maggie's Review:
I received this book as an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review.
Niko struggles to get by day-to-day. His boss refuses to pay him, he lives in a terrible neighborhood, and as a made wolf shifter he isn't given any respect. That all changes when Alasdair claims Niko for the Goddess, and just maybe for himself, except it also causes the murderer to focus on them too.
Overall I enjoyed reading this story. The world building was amazing. The differences between made and born shifters, including how they handle the abilities and how society views them, was very well written. I particularly liked how Niko fit into that world, and yet as a reader I still got the impression that he was something more. However, what that something more could be was never fully explained.
My only complaint about this story was that lack of overall description, which is an issue I see a lot in Evans' writing. In this story, the lack of description kept me from fully understanding the plot. I didn't know what Niko's powers really were, why Alasdair picked Niko or even why Alasdair was watching Niko in the first place. There also needed to be a bit more depth as to where the gods and goddesses came from and why working for them is relevant to the story. That said, given this was the first book in the story, I have chosen to believe that all of that missing information was instead foreshadowing for what is to come in a future book.
Maggie's Recommendation:
I really liked the world building in this story and how it served to enhance the characterizations. The descriptions in the story were lacking, but this time it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment so I do recommend this book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

As the Democratic candidates ascend on South Carolina over the week they will pander to many factions in order to gain their votes. Yes, this includes the Christian community. Joe Biden's opening speech is just a preview of what to expect this week. It was not by chance that he chose to end his speech with the words, "God bless you all, and may God protect our church." I question if this was warning to Christian Democrats to vote for him to save the church from the other Dems and Trump. Let's not forget that it was not too long ago that he flipped his position on the Hyde Amendment that would allow federal funding for abortions. Once against the Hyde amendment it, he is now for it in the mist of a heated race for the presidential nomination. His current stance on abortion is very unclear, and something he needs to be asked to clear up. The big question is what else will he flip on if he becomes president? How can he ask God to protect the church while at the same time going along with the far left of the Democratic party's stance on abortion? He claims to be a devote Catholic, but believes its alright to undermine the Church's position on abortion. You can not serve two masters. Your either on the side of the Church or not. This was a disgusting display of political pandering on the highest stage. It was not by accident that he chose these words. South Carolina is part of the Bible belt.
While I believe in separation of church and state, I also believe that is the duty of our elected leaders to uphold the same Judeo-Christian values our nation was found on, including the belief and fear of God. According to a 2016 Gallup poll, 79% of Americans believe in a god. Expect all of the Democrats to side-step their stance, and now the far left of the Democratic Party's stance, on abortion. This will be the one issue they will not want to talk about on the national stage taking place in a heavy red state. They now all have the same stance, making abortion a non-topic. If you are Pro-life you will not have a Democratic candidate to chose from. They are all Pro-Choice. Joe may not come out against abortion, but his chosen silence is even worse. Joe is not the only one to expect political double talk from. Elizabeth Warren will must likely not forgo the possibility to remind the people of South Carolina about her days of teaching Sunday school in the Methodist Church. I guess if you taught Sunday school at one time you have a free pass to plagiarize and lie. Until next blog, GO WITH GOD!

15 years ago I became interested in the date that Jesus was born. This led to several years of research, I quickly realized that there was no valid information that provided any real answers to this question. Since this website is getting some interest, I will post from time to time some of the information I learned during this quest.

Spooky Outdoor Halloween Party Games for Kids: Fun Games for Your Next Kids' Halloween Party
There's nothing more fun than a Halloween party and spooky games are what will make it the most exciting. Here are some really creative ideas to try that kids will love.
Graveyard Search
Depending on the number of kids at the party, make several small headstones out of Styrofoam and paint them gray. Write a name on each one – a scary name such as Boris Bloodbath. Start each child by giving them a name to find (each different from the other kids) and they have to run around the yard, find the matching headstone and race back with it to get the next name. Have them collect five headstones in all and the first to do so wins. This game would be even more fun at dusk with the kids using flashlights to read the headstones.
Race to Unlock the Coffin
Construct a simple coffin out of cardboard. Make 40 or 50 small ghosts out of tissue (simply stuff the head with more tissue and tie a string around the neck). Put a regular keyed lock on the coffin and hide the key in one of the ghosts. Hang all of the ghosts off of tree branches in the back yard, low enough so kids can reach. The kids, all at the same time, have to race to pull a ghost down, see if it has the key in it, and if so, run and unlock the coffin. Putting some fake keys in a few of the ghosts would make it even more interesting. If someone dressed up as Dracula was lying in the coffin, even better.
Skeleton Build
Purchase two fake plastic skeletons. Frightcatalog.com has one that is about three feet long. Dismember the skeletons and place the pieces around the yard. Divide the group into two teams. Have each team set off and try to find the pieces. The first team to assemble their skeleton wins.
What Time Is It Mr. Wolf – Mummy Style
Start off with an adult wrapped head to toe in toilet paper, like a mummy. Playing the common kids' game, What Time Is It Mr. Wolf/Mr. Mummy, the mummy tries to grab a child as they run away. The caught child is then also wrapped in toilet paper and they too have to help Mr. Mummy grab the next child.

Having clearly defined DNA frameworks help develop a culture that is in line with the management's expectations
Acumen's four pronged approach is as follows:
Message from the management
Organization wide iniatives
Answering what's in it for me (wiifm)
Reconizing and differentisting key implementers
Effects Last
Culture inculcation into the fabric of the organization is long drawn process. Periodic reinforcement across levels is imperative in retaining the momentum.
Peripheral Non-Negotiables
- Buy in and endorsement by the top management
- Venue hygiene factors not compromised
- The engagement starts with crafting messages for the communication channels considering a top down approach
- The next step would be to create organizationwide awareness through online portals, Instructor Led Trainings etc.
- Answering WIIFM question of the employees is the next step. This can be chieved through town halls, all hands meets, cluster meets etc.
- The last step is DNA in action. Creating conditions for application of the awareness. Support this through integrated rewards and recognition system, identifying DNA champs etc.

Support to surf events no challenge
Published on PO Richard Gorey (author and photographer)
Location(s): Coolum, Qld
Topic(s): Team Navy, Community Engagement
The rainy weather did nothing to dampen spirits at the Coolum Surf Lifesaving Competition recently as the Royal Australian Navy provided support for the competition where crews used various surf skills in short races that made for thrilling spectating and tight finishes.
The Team Navy ladies' team took to the surf and after taking a tumble in the Boat Crew Race managed to push through the challenge and complete the course.
Petty Officer Diver Richard Gorey was a member of Team Navy and said attendees were thankful of the support for Lifesaving events.
"It was great to have so many spectators and past competitors come up to the Navy stand and thank the Navy for their support of this series of Surf Lifesaving Events," he said.
It was the second of two events that Navy have supported recently with sponsorship of the Australian Surf Rowers League Grand Finals at Kurrawa Surf Club following the Coolum Surf Lifesaving Competition.
HMAS Moreton's Navy Community Engagement Program team had the privilege of attending the event, located at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast.
The Royal Australian Navy was the main sponsor of the event, liaising and interacting with the Gold Coast community.
Chief Petty Officer Boatswain Paul Cannard was at the Gold Coast for the event where the Navy team also showcased a working Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat.
"It is really great to see how the people of the Gold Coast embrace Navy," he said.
"You can almost get a sense that they feel part of Navy and are proud to wear the Navy crest with pride on their surf uniforms."
Moreton continues to support the events, in which thousands of people attend from across the country in support of surf lifesaving personnel.
