A Tray for a Long Weekend in Bed
Hello, Labor Day! There's nothing quite like a leisurely breakfast in bed on a Monday. (Aren't long weekends wonderful?) I've had this tray on my wishlist for a while. Made in Vancouver from white oak, and weighing in at a handsome four pounds, this is just right for your bacon and eggs. Especially if someone else is cooking.
I do love a good solid tray. It might seem like a hefty price for a basic tray, but I find that a quality tray can go from the living room, where it holds flowers or candles; to the dining room for after-dinner coffee; to the bedroom for breakfast in bed. This one looks good all the way.

UFMC Banquet Delivers Something for Everyone
Wednesday, July 27, 2011
Inside USD — The United Front Multicultural Center's sixth annual Diversity Banquet Wednesday night had it all — a celebration for top students, recognition for graduating students, an update on successful programs and initiatives, insightful perspective, and one student who, as she prepares for graduation, has already done her part to give back.
Eight University of San Diego students — each one a member of the Class of 2011 — earned a C.L.A.S.S. Award for their efforts during the 2010-11 academic year and, in many cases, an exclamation point on the impact they'd made during their entire college career.
The student recipients were: Joseph Rocha and Jayzona Alberto (L. Reuben Mitchell Award for Campus wide Impact); Joy Utomi and Lorena Hernández (Dr. Evelyn Kirkley Award for Leadership); Shannen Cravens (Dr. Eugene Labovitz Award for Academics); Anayensi Juarez Jacobo (Dr. Judy Rauner Award for Social Justice); Roberta Garcia (Dr. Judith Liu Award for Service); and Gibrán Chávez-Gudiño (United Front Multicultural Center Award for Inspiration).
"It's really inspiring to win this award and a little daunting to win an award for making an impact on campus, but to be recognized in this way is a big achievement," said Rocha, a double major in political science and philosophy. His work with the PRIDE organization provided the campus community with opportunities to learn and understand the importance of inclusion at USD. Furthermore, Rocha, the first member of his family to earn a college degree, said he cherished that his accomplishment would be achieved in the context of a Catholic education.
"It's a great honor," said Hernandez, a double major in Ethnic Studies and Spanish, has been a tutor and mentor in USD's Upward Bound program and active in student organizations MEChA and AChA. The banquet was a reminder that her decision to come to USD has been mutually beneficial. "I'm happy and emotional. (Graduating) makes me think about all of the wonderful people I've met. I think everyone I've met has helped me in some small way."
To demonstrate the work ethic and dedication Alberto has shown at USD beyond her studies, when the banquet ended around 8:15 p.m., she had to rush off to a Associated Students' Torero Program Board planning meeting regarding tonight's Ole Music Festival concert. "I got a text from TPB during the banquet," she said.
Alberto, selected as the USD Women's Center's Student Woman of Impact winner last fall, is a psychology major, leadership minor and has done pre-pharmacy coursework for certification as a pharmacy technician. Despite her busy schedule, she's always thinking about ways to give back. She has been a mentor for the UFMC's Link Peer Mentoring Program and she led the way for the creation of the UFMC Diversity Scholarship Fund. A silent auction took place Wednesday with all proceeds going to the fund. The first scholarship is expected to be awarded at next year's banquet.
Forty students from the Class of 2011 — undergraduates and graduates — were recognized and presented with UFMC graduation stoles featuring a replica of the colorful wall mural that signifies unity amongst all who have been part of the United Front Multicultural Center since it originally opened in the Hahn University Center in 1997.
UFMC Director Mayte Perez-Franco talked about the center's progress with Link Peer Mentoring, a strong connection to the School of Leadership and Education Sciences, Rainbow Educators and the work of 15 student organizations, most of whom run their operations within the UFMC's Student Life Pavilion space in Room 418.
Keynote speaker Michael Lovette-Colyer, director of University Ministry, spoke passionately to the banquet's Catholic Social Thought-inspired theme, "Dignity of Work and Workers" by relaying the experience that he, staff members and USD students had when they met workers who toil in a maquiladora during UM's annual service and immersion trip, the Tijuana Spring Breakthrough.
Vice President of Student Affairs Carmen Vasquez concluded the evening with a reflection that both praised the graduating class and expressed optimism, fittingly, for all.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter begins a tour of the Middle East Saturday in an effort to build support for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
Mr. Carter will start his trip in Cairo and travel on to Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories. He will be part of a delegation that calls itself "The Elders." The group was founded by former South African President Nelson Mandela to impact world affairs.
The Mideast delegation is being led by former Irish President Mary Robinson.
U.S. brokered direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians stalled last month after an Israeli ban on new settlement construction in the West Bank expired. Palestinians oppose new construction on land they want for a future state.
A statement released by "The Elders" says the group will encourage regional support for final status negotiations.
Mr. Carter is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient who helped broker the 1979 Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.

It's TUESDAY!
Today will be the day.
DDIL#5 is scheduled for a C-section this morning. They were sent home yesterday to await results of the tests. By evening they were notified that all was well. DS#5 is super excited. So are we all! I'll be praying all goes well and hopefully I'll get some pictures to share with you all tomorrow.
Pottery has been around for thousands of years. Each potter has their own unique style and finished product. But they all start with the same lump of clay. It may not look much but it has huge potential. The potter patiently works with it, allowing it take shape. Even if it falls out of shape, the potter will patiently start again. It is no surprise that God has been compared to a potter. Like a potter God works with us gently.
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand

Today is National Trail Mix Day
Trail Mix Day features a high energy, tasty treat for the trail or snacks. You can buy packages of trail mix at a store. Or, you can make up your own, using the ingredients you like best.
When you head out to a campout, a hike or to go biking, take the Trail Mix along with you. It provides the extra energy boost to keep you from tiring along the way, and allows you to reach your destination full of pep.
Here is a fun way that the Boy Scouts make Trail Mix:
Ask each hiker or camper to bring a box or bag of their favorite cereal, nuts, pretzels, raisins, dried fruit, M&Ms, etc. For younger hikers or new members of the group, it's best to provide them with a list of the types of food that can go into trail mix. That way, the inexperienced hiker won't bring something that can not be easily carried. At the campout or before the hike, bring the group together and mix all the food in a big, big bowl. Put the mix into sealable baggies and pass them out to each hiker.
Tips: When making your own trail mix, avoid messy items that leave your hands sticky. Also avoid too many salty items. For example, unsalted nuts is better than salted ones.
Dear Lord, let me be slow to criticize and quick to compliment.

Did you know diaper spelled backwards is repaid ?
I guess for the most part we've all changed a diaper or two. Some more than others. It's not the most pleasant job in the world, but a necessary one for sure.
Just to think that we all wore diapers at one time goes to show that somethings in life just never change. Except for diapers of course we all hope they get changed.

Today is National Toasted Marshmallow Day
Enjoy today or tonight by a campfire or bonfire, toasting a big, soft, sticky and sweet marshmallow, or two, or three, or….. Summer would not be the same without a campfire and this great campfire treat.Summer is short. Summer is good. So enjoy it while it is still here. Toast a marshmallow and forget about everything else.
And don't forget to make a few S'mores. Just in case you don't know how to make one, the recipe is shown below:
Chocolate candy bar
Honey Graham Crackers
Break off a square of Graham cracker
Add a piece of Chocolate.
Toast a big marshmallow over the campfire.
Add the hot marshmallow.
Top it with another graham Cracker.
Eat , savor and enjoy!
Note: You can make S'mores in the microwave (which is what I'll probably do) Just put them together and pop them into the microwave on high for 15 to 20 seconds.

Today is National Cornbread and Milk Day
Corn bread is something I love and rarely have. Awhile back a friend let us know about how they made their cornbread in cakes just as you do pancakes. I tried it and liked it as it made individual servings that I could also freeze for future use. So I thought I'd share that recipe with you today.
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (optional)
Combine all dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Combine eggs, buttermilk and oil in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour into dry ingredients and stir until the batter is just combined, adding in the corn kernels at the last minute.
Cook as you would cook pancakes, in a nonstick or lightly greased pan until lightly browned on either side. The cakes will be fairly thick and I like to make them about 3-inches in diameter. They will take a bit longer to cook than real pancakes, so be patient.
The griddle cakes can be served warm, at room temperature or popped in the toaster and heated up.
Invest a few moments in thinking. It will pay good interest

Be faithful in small things, she said. Because it is in them that your strength lies
Loving Lord, inspire me to be welcoming and generous in my attitude to others, showing individuals that they matter and are important. May I make a difference to someone in my part of the world today

Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy
Mother Teresa
I spent most of yesterday just entertaining our little Lucky guy. Of course at his age there is not a whole lot to do. We both had a nice afternoon nap. It was a very long day as it took forever to hear about how DS#6 and his surgery went. It's hard to wait around not knowing what is going on. His surgery was to have been before noon and as we later on found out it only took about 45 minutes. His hernia repair was done with laparoscopy which is a supposed to make for a much shorter recovery time. But they forgot to let anyone know that he was in recovery and until about 7:30 last night I didn't know much at all. They kept him overnight they said due to pain management and hopefully he'll be home today.
Thank you all for the prayers and thanks be to God all is just fine.
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start
Mother Teresa
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them

Amazon is rolling out a new feature today that lets web developers integrate a "Send to Kindle" button onto their websites. The button, much like the browser extensions before it, lets users send the page content to their Kindle account for reading later on other devices. Similar to the current Twitter, Facebook and Google+ buttons you see at the bottom of most website articles, Amazon is hoping developers will add in the "Send to Kindle" button as well. Articles saved with this method are then available for reading on any device -- Kindle or otherwise -- that has the Amazon Kindle app installed.
Considering the wide range of devices that Amazon has made its apps available on, these webpage buttons are likely to catch on quickly. For now, The Washington Post, TIME and Boing Boing have already integrated the buttons if you're curious about how they look and work. Be on the lookout for more sites to add them soon.

Dear Friends,
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. ~ Genesis 3:1
Satan is called the "serpent" in Revelation 12:9, 14, 15 and 20:2. In one frightening chapter of Genesis we catch a glimpse of his powers. He is seen to be cunning, articulate, a liar, a deceiver and destroyer, and an enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eve's mistake was to take him on! She was no match for the serpent; neither are you and I. The second Adam, Jesus Christ, met Satan and withstood his temptations (see Matt. 4:1-11). He overcame and destroyed him at the cross. Because of Christ's victory, true Christians have the same power to overcome.
We are promised discernment to match Satan's cunning, truth to counter his lies, and weapons to fight the unseen battle of the spirit (see Eph. 6:12). If we take on the old serpent in our own strength as Eve did, there is no contest. But that is more easily said than done! I like the story of the little boy who told his Sunday school teacher that when Satan knocked on the door of his heart he sent Jesus to answer it! Very wise! The serpent is stronger than all our best intentions but God is stronger than all the serpent's worst designs!
Do you not believe in Satan? Then you really have been deceived! The Bible plots his diabolical footsteps from Genesis 3 to Revelation 20. Jesus believed in him and showed us how to counter his subtlety with triumphant truth. The serpent may have been more cunning than the beasts of the field and the man who was set over them, but he is not more cunning than God and His Christ who caught and cursed him with eternal doom (see Rev. 20:3).

FORT HOOD - The $13.5 million Hood Stadium Complex has opened giving Killeen Independent School District schools a new place to host football games. The new complex replaces the former Prichard Stadium on post after it was torn down to make room for the new $500 million Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center.
KISD was granted use of the Fort Hood facility via a rental agreement in the form of a memorandum-of-understanding that is currently being put in place and outlines who will provide what for events.
The new Hood Stadium will seat 5,500 located entirely on the west/home side of the field with handicapped seating located along the front. The stadium includes an Olympic-sized track surrounding the grass field, which can also be converted into a UIL-regulation soccer field, and two separate locker rooms.
There is a 1,000-space parking lot directly outside the stadium, with overflow parking available in the nearby Clear Creek Exchange and Community Events Center parking lots.

I was going to the restroom at a "nice" gas station (the kind with the condom machine).
The vendor says that only married people can use the condoms unless you want AIDS. Well, I am paraphrasing (read below).
"Although no contraceptive can provide complete protection, Hygeia Condoms, when properly used, may prevent the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The best method of AIDS prevention is abstinence before marriage and a monogamous relationship during marriage. Hygeia Condoms are available here for your privacy and convenience.

Well, I purchased some garbage can lids from Greg's brother technically. Greg gave them to his brother and I actually purchased them from Greg.

Well, thanks a lot for your input everyone! I'm glad that it at least seems that I'm in no real danger - It has calmed my anxiety a bit. Sadly I can't follow the tip you gave me Daylily (About asking them to keep the pet out of the way) because everyone I know generally live in very small apartments. (Apartments where they probably shouldn't keep a pet that needs more legroom than a hamster to begin with)
It can be done, but most I know are not willing to do so. I usually insist we meet elsewhere (or they drive me to the ER -- cat dander shuts down my lungs).
Oh.. Ouch. Yeah, I can see why that would be an issue there - Fortunately my symptoms aren't severe, just slightly annoying. I doubt I could convince any of my friend to lock their cat in the kitchen for hours just because I'd get a runny nose otherwise.. And I wouldn't really feel very god about it.

Charlies Bunion via Kephart Loop is a 13.8 mile loop trail located near Cherokee, North Carolina that features a great forest setting and is only recommended for very experienced adventurers. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round.
no dogs
Avoid the crowds to this scenic overlook. This challenging hike offers an alternative route to Charlies Bunion to avoid the crowds of Newfound Gap. The first 2 mi is a nice stroll through the area of and old CCC camp. The Kephart Shelter is in the middle of this 3-way intersection. Take the Sweat Heifer Trail to the left; the next 3.7 miles will be the hardest part of the hike. Near the top you reach a small clearing and as you catch your breath slowly turn around for breath taking views of NC. A few more yards turn right on the Appalachian Trail and continue on the AT when you reach the Boulevard Trail. About 1.5 mi the spur trail to the left to Charlies Bunion. When you leave Chrlies Bunion you can continue to the right to reach the AT and turn left for about 0.2 mi to the Dry Sluice Trail. Turn right on the this nice soft wooded trail for 1.3 mi. Turn right on Grassy Branch Trail and you will quickly descend for 2.5 mi to the backside of the Kephart Shelter. It is a easy stroll back on the Kephart Prong to your car
The trail was wonderful! We went in the morning (started about 8am) and it never got too hot which was a huge plus for me, especially since it was mid July. The sights were beautiful and completely worth it. I got to see a momma dear and her two babies on the trail also!
I do warn though, it gets very busy since it's in a very touristy area so going early would be the best. When we got done with the hike, it was very crowded and a lot of people were on the trail then. So go early if possible!
It was nice to have a good portion of the trail to ourselves even though it was a Saturday (sweat Heifer and beyond Charlie's bunion encountered only 3 other groups total). Agree that the 3.7 mile portion of the sweat heifer was most difficult part of trail. Crossing streams/small waterfalls was fun throughout the kephart prong, sweat heifer, and dry sluice portions.
Encountered a black bear past Charlies Bunion on the Dry Sluice Trail. Good times!
We stayed in the Kefart shelter for the night and another night in Icewater with 3 teenagers. It was amazing experience.
Definitely one of the most beautiful hikes I've been on!! Even the forest is surreal! Also one of the most strenuous hikes as the first 2.7 miles is mostly up hill and mostly rocky terrain. I parked at the Newfound Gap large parking area and followed the Kephart Trail to the Newfound Gap Trail. After 1.7 miles you'll come to a sign for Kephart Trail to the right...I stayed straight and continued for another mile to the next sign, then headed right. There is a shelter in .2 miles and just a slight ways past continuing on to trail, you will find a pipe coming out of the hillside with ice cold delicious water!! Charlies Bunion is another mile on that trail making 4 miles in and 4 back. Very well worth the sore feet and legs with views that are substantial!! Enjoy!
My favorite trail in the park! Spectacular views at the top!
Love it
Most outstanding views in the entire smoky mountains in my opinion, conveniently located you could head up to the jump off, proceed down the trail to the bunion or venture to the right and hit Mount Kephart hit all 3 it's worth the extra mile or 2.
Charlie's Bunion provides a spectacular view. Traveling up the Kephart trail leads you directly to the Newfound Gap trail. By parking at the Newfound Gap parking lot you can cut the hike in half. This trail doesn't provide any great views until you reach your destination. This trail isn't difficult, but strenuous. The forest is beautiful as always though. Charlie's Bunion is well worth the hike. Once you arrive at the top there will be a rock face you can climb up or take the dirt path towards the entrance to. It will provide a great aerial view of the Charlie's Bunion. Enjoy!
Beautiful trail!
Definitely go early! Started the trail around 8am and by the time we made it to the bunion and back, the Newfoundland Gap parking lot was packed and the road up the mountain was backed up.
It is a long hike, but very doable. The view is absolutely worth it... there are multiple levels to explore and areas to take a break. Bring a snack! Will definitely be coming back.
Hiked the trail from Newfound parking lot and at first clouds covered the scenery. After it cleared and we got to the top the view was priceless! Would go on it again any day!
It is long and strenuous trail which took us about 8 hours to finish. It is fun and interesting, you see a typical Great Smoky view and experience different variety of landscapes.
The first 4 miles up was brutal, once up to the top of Charlies Bunion, you can enjoy the way down from Grassy Branch Trail.
It was my first trail to hike in the smokey mountains and it was just perfect. Can't wait to experience more trails.
Great hike. Not too bad of a climb. Maybe rate it moderate. Worth the views. :) A must do for GSMNP.
Just really starting to hike but did this trail Saturday and loved it! The 4 miles up is strenuous but the view is worth it!!
could have been a nice view, I'm not sure the clouds rolled in before I got all the way out there
We actually did Charlie's Bunion from the trailhead at the New Found Gap parking lot, which is 4 miles in and 4 miles back. The trail is easy to follow and well maintained. It climbs for 2 miles from the trailhead. Then it's up, down, and level for about a mile and right where the trail splits from the path to Jump Off, it takes on a pretty decent for the last mile to the bunion, which seems great at first until you realize you're climbing both directions. I'm still pretty new to hiking so this took a lot out of me, but I am psyched that I completed it. We met a guy at the Bunion that was in the midst of completing the whole AT from Georgia up to Maine. Good luck guy, where ever you are!

During a Crisis, Look Outside
NOTHING TENDS TO FOCUS the mind more than impending doom, which lately has taken the form of the speeding train that is our current financial crisis. College and university presidents and provosts across the nation are studying spreadsheets as if they were scholars examining the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, the focus should not be self-involved. It should be on the students.
It's obvious, but the mission of any college or university is to provide an education and life-changing experiences for every student who enrolls. In lean times, it's hard to justify taking money we receive from hard-pressed families and using it to install a coffee bar in the student center or to poach a Pulitzer-winning professor from another institution.
Instead of bemoaning the loss of a new palatial residence hall or artificial turf athletic field (or the downsizing of the presidential car from a Mercedes to a Prius), it's high time we concentrate our resources to help make the journey to a diploma easier.
Changing the culture at any institution is a bit like steering an aircraft carrier by trailing a hand in the water, but if we can reach out and help more students weather the current crisis, we can make real President Obama's goal of making college more affordable and within reach of every American.
Here are some actions college and university leaders can take to ensure students get the most affordable education possible.
— Increase work-study positions on campus. Often full-time employees do jobs that could be done by talented students. If you have students doing jobs that pay well off-campus, such as IT support or supervisory positions, pay them well above the minimum wage for work-study on campus.
— Set aside money to help families. Adjust financial aid for those in which primary wage-earners are unemployed or have experienced a drastic financial crisis.
— Use endowment principal funds to create a pool for short-term, low-interest loans for families whose current loans are no longer viable due to changes in real estate values or other issues.
— Turn off the lights. Rather than building a $26 million facility with plants on the roof and declaring yourself "green," install low-energy bulbs, replace inefficient infrastructure when making repairs, and make sure all building renovations are energy-efficient. Yes, and turn off the lights when leaving a room. Also, unplug computers at day's end and turn the air conditioner to 78 degrees.
— Work with food service providers to deliver a variety of meal plans that will lower costs for students.
— Do what you can to ensure every student graduates on time. The inconvenient truth of higher education is that many students take five or six years to graduate, and extra years of tuition and wages lost to not working are the equivalent of throwing away a brand-new car or the down payment on a house. With careful faculty advising, more personal interaction with students, and flexible, interdisciplinary majors, you can ensure there won't be any "eighth-year seniors" around to take up valuable resources.
As in politics, all financial crises are essentially local. Campus leaders should ask not what a community can do for them but rather what they can do for the community.
Beyond education, colleges are entertainment providers, employers, and service providers for their hometowns. The typical campus houses manpower, intellectual resources, and many unused or unseen activities.
The opportunities to reach out are many. Have accounting students complete tax returns for the elderly and low-income families. Ask student clubs to offer free yardwork or spring cleanings. Give employees a day off to give a Rotary Club workshop or share what they do at the high school. Offer one free concert a year featuring a national entertainer. Create a free summer camp using education department students as staff. Develop a business incubator for students and members of the community. The ideas are only limited by the culture of the campus.
The natural inclination in difficult circumstances is to put your head down and protect what you have. Higher ed must work to avoid that mindset. Perhaps the most valuable lesson a college can deliver is that it's OK to look outside the bunker to focus on the flowers blooming on the battlefield.

UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Location: 4 miles east of Catoosa, Oklahoma.
Date: 01/15/2006 14:45 central time.
Approach Direction: north
Departure Direction: south
Witness Direction: south and west
Description: It has been very warm in Oklahoma for this time of the year. The weather was clear and sunny with a strong warm wind from the south with some high clouds. My father and I were setting outside talking when I noticed a small silver oval object aproaching from the North. At first I thought it was a silver ballon but was moving too fast and too high. Also the wind was blowing 10 to 15 mph from the south. I pointed it out to my father, we both watched it pass overhead rather fast and at several thousand feet untill it disappeared to the south. We noticed that there were no sounds like jet or prop noises. Also we were both amazed by all the con-trails from jets that day and that is what caused me to notice the object to begin with.
Color/Shape: very bright silver, oval shape. Flat on the bottom and round on top.
Height & Speed: two to three thousand feet. Speed not sure but went across a clear sunny sky from north to south in a minute or less.
TV/Radio/Press: no reporting that I know of.

A silicone robot completely free of electronic parts may sound futuristic, but that's exactly whatresearchers at Harvard University have created. Based on the shape and motion of the octopus, the "octobot" is the world's first completely soft robot, and its motion is completely autonomous.
At present, the octobot can't do much – scientists are not yet able to steer it in any particular direction as it moves, and the liquid fuel only lasts between four and eight minutes. However, future models will include sensors that allow the robot to detect nearby objects and steer toward or away from them. It's a fascinating proof of concept: the robots of the future may look like nothing like what we've envisioned.

The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) announced on Friday that the second T20 encounter between India and Sri Lanka on 12 February will take place in Ranchi.
It was earlier announced that the second game in the three-match T20 series between the two cricketing rivals will be held at the national capital.
The first match takes place on 9 Feb at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, while the third match takes place at the VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on 14 Feb.
It is believed that the reason of the second match being shifted from the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi to Ranchi now is due to the DDCA's (Delhi and Districts Cricket Association) failure to acquire the clearance certificates for hosting the T20I on time.
Also, the construction work in the stadium is still to be completed.
It was also reported that earlier in the day, the Delhi High Court asked the Delhi Municipal Corporationnot to provide the Provisional Occupancy Certificate (POC) to the DDCA to win the rights of hosting the match.
"We have informed the BCCI today that we will not be able to get the clearance from MCD [Municipal Corporation of Delhi] in time after complying to norms," DDCA working president Chetan Chauhan told PTI. "We told the BCCI officials that we will have all the compliance certificates ready for World T20 but it will not be possible to get clearance before February 12 and then get clearances from state's fire and electrical department."

As PC gamers across the country salivate at the release of id Software's much-anticipated "Doom 3," computer retailers are rubbing their hands over the anticipated swarm of shoppers who must buy machine upgrades to even play the game. After juicing up graphics cards or adding more memory, the cost of playing "Doom 3" for some gamers easily will pass $500, which might be a lot more frightening than any of the demons they'll encounter.
But admission prices like this are nothing new for rabid PC gamers. Thanks to game developers' desire to one-up one another, gaming rigs are in constant flux -- very expensive flux. There's something to be said about playing "Halo 2" on the same machine you played the original title without having to spend an extra penny. To get the best "Doom 3" experience, it's recommended you shell out for a NVIDIA graphics card from the GeForce FX or 6800 family, or an ATI Radeon 9800 or X800 card. These top cards are $350 to $500 but should last through another generation of games. You should also have at least 512MB of memory, but 1 gb is preferred. Finally, id recommends running a 2 gHz Pentium (or equivalent), but a 3 gHz would be optimal.

Lemonis Leaves Mark on Miami Neighborhood
August 6, 2012 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
South Florida native Marcus Lemonis had a different kind of homecoming during a visit to Miami.
He left behind his multimillionaire trappings — from credit cards and suits to his chief-executive pay as the head of RV retailer Camping World and Good Sam in Lincolnshire, Ill., — and for six days lived in a roach-infested trailer in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood. He had $35 for food while he volunteered with three local charities, the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel reported.
His riches-to-rags experience was featured Sunday night (Aug, 5) on the ABC reality show, "Secret Millionaire."
The hourlong show chronicles incognito millionaires who are dropped into needy areas where they look for unsung heroes making a difference in the community. At the end of the episode, the millionaires reveal themselves and give the organization money to help their mission.
"To be able to go back to a place that gave me so much is extra special," said Lemonis, 38, a former Fort Lauderdale AutoNation manager. "That's part of the city that, as a child and as a young adult, I never got to experience."
In the show, viewers see him volunteer at National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment, which promotes anti-bullying and anti-violence; New Journeys Transitional Home, which provides housing for young women leaving foster care or facing homelessness; and Neat Stuff, which sells new clothing and school uniforms for needy families.
As Lemonis checked in, he learned about their financial challenges. At New Journeys, the cash-strapped organizer is months behind the home's mortgage payment. Neat Stuff workers have outgrown their cramped headquarters, where stacks of clothes reach the ceiling.
At each stop, Lemonis also shares part of his back story. Shortly after being born in Beirut, Lebanon, Lemonis was abandoned. At 9 months old, he was adopted by a couple who raised him in Miami's Little Havana. He eventually graduated from Christopher Columbus High School.
On the show, as he sat in on a workshop with National Voices members, Lemonis revealed how he was so insecure about his weight as a teenager that he became bulimic. He also spoke about being bullied and called nicknames.
"In business, you generally have your guard up," said Lemonis, noting that the show provided him a chance for self-evaluation and reflection. "You had to really strip it down. That was hard. It was tough."
By the end of the episode, which was taped last summer, Lemonis presented each group with a handsome check — and in one case an RV and SUV — to further their causes.
Said Lemonis, "The charities that were involved were wonderful and they are the backbone of the show."
Lemonis' 'Secret Millionaire' Show Airs Aug. 5
July 3, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Lemonis' 'Secret Millionaire' Show Airs Aug. 5
Click here to watch a 30-second clip from the upcoming episode of "Secret Millionaire" featuring Marcus Lemonis.
The episode of the "Secret Millionaire" featuring Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis will air Aug. 5 on ABC TV, the production company announced.
Each episode of "Secret Millionaire" follows one of America's most successful business people for a week as they leave the comforts of home behind. They keep their true identities hidden while living in some of the country's most impoverished neighborhoods.
Lemonis returns to his home town of Miami to live and volunteer among its poorest residents, learning firsthand about their daily struggles and how he can use his success and leadership to help them break the cycle of tough times.
"Secret Millionaire reflects perfectly the Good Sam philosophy of giving back where it's needed," said Lemonis of his life-changing experience on the show. "Good Sam was founded back in 1966, loosely based on the story of the Good Samaritan who went out of his way to help a fellow traveler," he said. "This show provided me personally a great opportunity to help others in my hometown community."
Lemonis will host an advance screening of the episode Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. at The Miracle Theater, 280 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Fla. DJ Irie and Barton G. will also be special guests at the screening.

The 2PCA-1000 PolyCaliper probe measures borehole
diameter with three linked arms operating a single
resistive sensor. The 3 Arm Caliper can be scaled and
calibrated in inches or in centimeters. The output of
the caliper has been optimized with a microprocessor
generated linearization scheme to improve the accuracy
of the probe over the full range of motion. The output
from the probe is an anti-coincidence pulse train which
has been a single conductor standard for many years. The
2PCA-1000 requires 80-85 volts D. C. at 85 mA max. The
probe can be operated with MGXII series logger which
manages the power requirements automatically.
The 2PCA-1000 PolyCaliper probe can be equipped with a
fluid resistivity - temperature extension (2SFB-1000)
allowing the tool to log down with fluid resistivity and
temperature and log up with caliper and gamma using the
2PGA-1000 PolyGamma probe. The PolyCaliper probe can
also be run without the gamma probe by using the
2ADP-1000 Poly probe to a single conductor adapter.
Without this adapter, the PolyCaliper probe can only be
run with the PolyGamma probe on the MGXII logging
system. Using the 2ADP-1000 adapter the 2PCA-1000 can be
operated on the older MGX logging systems.
The fluid resistivity - temperature extension is a
factory installed option. Contact Aegis Instruments for
Caliper arm extensions are available for measuring holes
larger than 17". The caliper arm can be unscrewed from
the short pivot arm and can be replaced with an
extension. The arms are then screwed on to the end of
the extension. This will allow the caliper to measure up
to 30 inches. The minimum hole diameter in which the
caliper can be run with the extension arms is 2.25".
Theory of Operation
The caliper measurement is made with arms attached to a
mechanical assembly that drives a linear potentiometer.
A constant reference voltage is applied across the
potentiometer. The D. C. output voltage from the wiper
of the potentiometer is converted to a frequency. A
microprocessor applies a quadratic correction to this
frequency so that the frequency is linearly related to
borehole diameter. Depending on the polarity of the
probe power, the microprocessor selects two frequencies
to be transmitted up the cable line. The frequencies
correspond to the caliper and natural gamma measurements
(when 2PGA-1000 is attached), or the temperature and
fluid resistivity measurements (when the 2SFB-1000 is
attached). The processor controls the pulse driver
circuit that sends positive pulses up the cable line for
the first frequency, and negative pulses for the second
frequency. An anti-coincidence algorithm insures that a
positive and negative pulse will not occur
simultaneously. The microprocessor also controls the
motor that opens and closes the caliper mechanism. The
mechanism opens or closes as appropriate when power is

Every now and then someone drops a 'Keep calm and …' poster on facebook, the backside of their phone, a tee they ware or a bag they drag along with them. I wonder why. I wonder why they want others to stay calm and I wonder why they think staying calm is a positive thing. In fact, when I see one I can rarely stay calm and have a strong tendancy to respond with a big and well meant …
Being a generally kind person I withhold myself from doing so. But not always. Because in my humble opinion a statement like 'keep calm and be/do/think/say whatever' statement is patronizing. And I am not the only one. Researchers seem to have found that posters and other crappy goods inspired by the WW2 government poster 'Keep Calm and Carry On' are not at all creating an atmosphere of upbeat stoicism. A professor Henry Brubaker (I have really no idea who he is) of the Institute for Studies (which probably doesn't exist) said:
The poster is actually more likely to inspire exasperation, boredom and a sense of living in a hopelessly empty world where nothing means anything any more and all human experience has been reduced to the purchase of trivial nostalgic shite from shops playing Groove Armada CDs.
And I agree with this probably non existing fraud of a professor. The original poster was designed by the British government during World War Two to empower its people while dodging the bombs thrown at them by the Germ(an)s. Which makes me wonder what the effect of staying calm in such a situation would result in. In that type of situation I would certainly not want to stay calm but get the fuck out of there a.s.a.p. before one of these suckers would land on my head and blow me to oblivion. Wherever that may be.
Barter Books from the UK was responsible for rejuvenating the 'keep calm and carry on' thing. This little film explains. Looking at it I can only say that apart from this terrible poster thing I do love that bookshop and would certainly love to pay it a visit if I ever get in the vicinity. Probably because of the miniature trains running on tracks above the racks packed with books. I don't think they play Groove Armada there.
Anywhatsoeverway, nowadays all kinds of people including my dear son are running around with variants of that silly poster on their stuff. Which is equally silly I think.
So my dear keep calm and whatever friends, please indeed keep calm. And fuck off.
Have a nice weekend though. And drink, drive and fuck safely if you have to.

Kiwis have well and truly embraced the Christmas spirit by getting behind a nationwide secret Santa this silly season.
New Zealand's Twitter Secret Santa Campaign will see nearly 2,000 people receive gifts from a mystery Kris Kringle.
"Players are randomly matched with another person on Twitter and must send them a small Christmas gift based on what their Tweets say about them," Twitter explains.
Participants then send the gifts to a storehouse at Auckland Airport, where they are sorted and then sent out anonymously.
Those who don't send off their gift by December 4th will be labelled a "Bad Santa" but fear not, the late gift will go to good cause and be sent on to children's charity CanTeen.
The gift buying stage is now underway and Twitter users are dropping clues about who they've received and what they might like under the hashtag #nzsecretsanta.

Get ready for 2018 Sensational Seniors Expo at Panthers Port Macquarie
Seniors will be able to access a range of information under one roof during the Sensational Seniors Expo on April 9.
The expo will be held at Panthers Port Macquarie between 9am to 2pm.
It is a great opportunity for retirees, or those about to retire, to access information on activities and services available to seniors across the region.
More than 80 organisations and community groups will exhibit at this year's expo, providing information on retirement communities, social clubs, travel opportunities, health and wellness and government services.
Council group manager Lucilla Marshall said this year's Seniors Expo will be the biggest ever held in our region.
"Whether you're a long term resident, have just moved to the area or are have recently retired, this year's expo will include an extensive range of exhibits all under one roof, and best of all its completely free," Ms Marshall said.
The Seniors Expo will also include performances by the U3A folk dancers, Meals on Wheels food tastings, Panthers Bridge Club demonstrations and free blood pressure testing.
Local seniors attending the expo are also invited to take part in the council's community inclusion plan survey.
Participants can receive a free photo booth souvenir for providing input on how the council can make our communities more inclusive for all ages.
The Port Macquarie-Hastings Sensational Seniors Expo is part of the NSW Seniors Festival, the largest celebration for people over 60 in the southern hemisphere, running from April 1 to 10.
It is an opportunity for older adults to try new things, meet new people and share their stories, skills and experiences.
"Our Seniors Expo celebrates and recognises the role that seniors play, and the contributions they make to the community, and I encourage anyone looking to make the most out of their retirement in our beautiful region to attend this year's event," Ms Marshall said.
For more information on the 2018 Port Macquarie-Hastings Sensational Seniors Expo, visit pmhc.nsw.gov.au/seniors-expo or call council on 6581 8111.

We were so happy to finally try out Pizzeria Bianco. It is apparently one of the most famous pizzeria's in the country. So famous in fact, that you have to make reservations at least 1 month in advance! I had gotten there about 45 minutes before it had even opened, and the line was at least 40 people long already. It's crazy what people will do to try good food!
The inside is very cute, and rustic, but unbelievably small! You think with the kind of $ they bring in, they could expand just a bit.

Accountancy Service Providers (ASPs): Introduction Accountancy Service Providers (ASPs)
MLR 2007 extended the scope of the Regulations to the Accountancy Service Provider (ASP) sector with effect from 15 December 2007. HMRC became the supervisory body for ASPs that are not affiliated to any of the accountancy bodies listed in Schedule 3 of the Regulations. The professional accountancy bodies are the supervisors for the ASPs that are affiliated to them. Prior to 2007 the Money Laundering Regulations 2003 required ASPs to comply with the Regulations but no supervisor was appointed. ASPs should therefore have been undertaking Customer Due Diligence procedures with effect from 1 April 2004. ASPs were given a deadline of 1 January 2009 by which they were required to register with HMRC.
Unlike other professions such as doctors or solicitors where it is only possible to practice after gaining a recognised qualification anybody can set up in practice and call themselves an "accountant". The profession therefore consists of qualified and unqualified practitioners. In order to practice as a qualified accountant a person must gain entry to one of the professional accountancy bodies. This is done by training, passing the qualifying examinations and undertaking practical work experience. An annual membership fee is also payable. Once qualified, and a member of a professional body, an accountant becomes subject to the professional conduct rules of that body which include compliance with MLR.
Unqualified accountants are subject to supervision for MLR purposes by HMRC. Although unqualified, a substantial proportion will have participated in training courses but did not complete the training or either did not take, or failed the final examination. The unqualified sector also includes persons who were once employees of HMRC (often tax inspectors). Many unqualified accountants are therefore highly competent to perform accountancy work and view themselves as professionals. The sector also includes persons of limited competence whose work is regarded as poor by HMRC.
In addition HMRC is also the supervisor of qualified accountants who have allowed their membership of a professional body to lapse but who remain in practice. We would also be the supervisor for MLR purposes in any case involving a qualified accountant who has been expelled from membership of a professional body following a disciplinary hearing and who continues to provide accountancy services to clients.

Relaxing!!Charmaine Prinsloo, South Africa07 August 2016
We stayed at Casa Jules for 6 days during July 2016. Casa Jules is neat and tidy. Rooms were spotless and very nicely appointed. The room looks out on the well cared for garden and is very comfortable. Because the rooms are situated higher than the restaurant and garden, they catch the breeze. The grounds were beautiful and the restaurant, particularly attractive how it is set up around the pool. There is wireless at the pool area and it worked perfectly all the time. Valerie advised us on excursions we could do during our stay...Dhow trips, Diving, market tours etc. The restaurant serves good food and dining around the pool is very relaxing. The pizza is their signature dish...very delicious!!! There is a variety of main courses to chose from. We enjoyed the "Nutella" pancakes. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Whenever we needed a taxi or tuk tuk they arranged it. There was live local music on Wednesday night.
Casa Jules and Zombie Cucumber seems to cater to a broad spectrum of travelers. Zombie Cucumber is geared more for travelers looking for a back packers environment, however this is NOT a low end backpackers place, it is very neat and seems to appeal to the mature backpacker crowd.

Loved it!Stefni Wilson, New Zealand16 January 2016
What an amazing, authentic and true Mozambique experience! Val and Bruno, the owners, were so lovely and their staff were just top class! They all made us feel right at home with their great service and amazing food! We'll definitely be back one day and recommend Casa Jules to anyone visiting Vilankulos!

Individual Investors
The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) offers advanced infrastructure and systems for the trading of equity. The Automated Trading System is an online real-time system which provides for the secondary trading of equity. Post-trade clearing and settlement of transactions are executed through the Central Depository System (CDS). The Exchange is open for continuous trading from Monday to Friday from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm. The settlement for equity transactions is on the third market day after the transaction ie. T+3.
Foreign investments
The issuance of shares by resident companies to foreign investors (non-residents) are permitted without prior approval of the Exchange Control Department subject to certain exclusions and limitations. Movement of funds of such transactions must be through a scheme of account titled "Share Investment Account" (SIA). The SIA would be credited by inward remittances received in convertible foreign currencies from the investors. The dividends and sales proceeds realized on this investment account are remittable through this account.
Non-resident applicants have to open a SIA with a bank in Sri Lanka. The applicants could instruct overseas banks to open the SIA with their Sri Lankan corresponding bank (HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citi and Deutsche Bank operate in Sri Lanka). The CDS account can be opened only after the SIA is opened. If a Custodian Bank is involved, the Custodian Bank will open the SIA and the CDS Account.Read More
CDS Account Opening Guidelines
- A person resident outside Sri Lanka who is a party to a transaction permitted hereunder must make a declaration to the effect that such person is resident outside Sri Lanka on the share transfer form or share application form as applicable.
- The payment for shares in any issue or transaction permitted hereunder should be made only out of or into a SIA opened in a commercial bank of Sri Lanka in accordance with directions given by the Controller of Exchange in that behalf to commercial banks.
- A commercial bank, a licensed stock broker or any other person entrusted with the payment of capital monies such as sale proceeds of shares, dividends and commissions in respect of any transaction permitted hereunder shall make such payment only into or out of a SIA referred to in sub paragraph above.
- The Secretary/ Registrar to a company in which the issue or transfer of shares to persons resident outside Sri Lanka are limited under 'limitations' shall not register the name of any person resident outside Sri Lanka or a citizen of a foreign State or their nominee as a share holder in such company if by such registration the limits specified shall be exceeded.

The True Meaning of Love at First Sight
Many people claim that love at first sight is as old as mankind. There are those who claim that they have experienced it whereas others claim that such a thing does not exist. Some argue that people often confuse sexual attraction with love.
This article looks at the definition of love at first sight and some of the qualifications.
There are plenty of factors that will make one get attracted to a member of the opposite sex. They include:
• Auditory – The tone of voice
• Gustatory – the way the first kiss tastes
• Olfactory – the scent or smell
• Kinesthetic– the way she moves
• Tactile – how one feels including embracing
Visual perception is not the only thing that makes one fall in love with a member of the opposite sex. There are other ingredients such as cognitive ability which play a greater role in creating the attraction.
There is a difference between loving someone and liking a person. You can like someone at first acquaintance and also love someone at first acquaintance. Loving someone includes caring for that person, being loyal, empathetic, tolerant, considerate, and beneficent and being there for him or her.
Loving is intimate, it can be a personal activity that seeks welfare, happiness and the safety of the other person. Love at first sight is somehow romantic and there is always sexual attraction which may not be present in other types of love such that of a child and the mother. There is some deep caring in other loves which may not be present in love at first acquaintance because time is needed to cultivate the concept of caring.
Love takes time to be cultivated but love at first acquaintance does not have the time required to bring all the activities of loving to fruition. However, falling in love at first sight can lead to a full blown acquaintance.
Falling in love at a first acquaintance can only be said to have taken place if you resolve that indeed, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. When you make up your mind to always cherish that person and commit yourself to share your deepest secretes with that person without pretending. If this happens, it qualifies to be love at first acquaintance.
The love should be genuine and should not be infatuation or sexual attraction. It should be a true start of a lifelong commitment.

I've also been working on something that isn't paper pieced!!!! Shocking I know! One my husbands workmates invited him to their daughters 1st birthday party, so of course I had to make something for her. I decided on an owl and was inspired by lots of different pictures and patterns. The wings are little pockets and I've added a pocket on the back as well with a G for Grace.
I made her a matching owl card. Hopefully she is an owl fan (isn't everyone?!) but I'll have to wait to hear the verdict. My daughter was trying to stop me wrapping it up, so I might have to make one for her as well!
Hope everyone had a great crafty weekend!

Click HERE to read the entire May 22, 2015 issue.
The end of May and June seem to be weeks and days filled with transition. For high school students this means closing the door on high school, saying goodbye to friends—some of whom they have known since early childhood—and making plans and decisions for adulthood. A number of years ago, as we contemplated our own children growing up, we began to think of how Newberg Friends has been so supportive of both of our families over the course of many years. We both have children who were dedicated as babies and children here at NFC.
At these baby dedications we as a congregation agree to help support and nurture our children as they grow up. We do this in so many ways. We pray for them and their parents, speak encouragement to the parents, give baby items, and help with adoption funding. We serve in the nursery, Sunday school, Godly Play, VBS, Bible Quizzing, youth group, and as NWYM Samuel School "Elis." We help fund camp scholarships and participate in the camp programs as well as mission trips. We support their activities—attend, take pictures, donate to their school's jog-a-thons, and buy fund-raiser "stuff." We agree to notice the children, greet them, and listen. We agree to keep them safe. We supply treats—lots of treats!
We began to wonder if there was some way that we as a church could express our support and appreciation of our high school students and celebrate with them as they move on to the next chapter of their lives after high school. This reflecting led to the idea of a "Senior Salute," a time for high school seniors to gather with their families and larger church family for a time of blessing and celebration.
For the past ten years we have been gathering on a Sunday evening toward the end of May. It seems good that, for most, this is the first of many celebrations that will occur as they move on from high school. Senior Salute has become a time of recognizing those graduating from high school and sending them off with a reminder that they are loved by their church family. Some would say that the special desserts are one of the highlights of the evening. For many, one of the favorite parts of the evening is the slide show made up of pictures of each graduating student. From baby pictures to senior pictures there are laughter and a few tears as we remember together God's faithfulness and how fast these years have gone by. The festive atmosphere includes a time of worship through music and a time of listening to words of encouragement and challenge spoken from an adult who was part of NFC youth groups during their high school years. At some point in the evening, all of the seniors gather in the middle of the room and prayers of blessing are prayed over them.
Even though the seniors may not be attending NFC after they graduate from high school, through this event we can communicate continuing support of our kids as they move on. We hope it serves as a reminder that no matter where they go or what they do, NFC and the family here will always welcome them home. Whether they come back to stay or just to visit, we want them to bring their ideas, joys, struggles, challenges, hopes, and pain—whatever it is, we want to always be a place where they know they are welcome, accepted, and loved.

Key Skills in Family Therapy with Dr Kate Owen and Dr Leonie White
June 22, 2017 @ 9:00 am - June 23, 2017 @ 4:30 pm$550.00
Would you like to work more confidently and effectively with clients? Do you know how to troubleshoot when treatment gets "stuck"?
Book a seat today to develop your family therapy skills to a deeper level.
This two-day workshop is aimed at practitioners who work with children, young people, adults, couples, families, and/or organisations supporting clients with mental health issues. This workshop aims to introduce participants to core Family Therapy concepts and broaden practitioners understanding of how to view "the client's problem", as well as provide practical skills and interventions for use with the client groups with which they work, built on theoretical constructs from systemic, structural, solution focused and narrative family therapy models to teach core thinking and interviewing skills in family therapy. It makes complex theory easy to grasp and the related techniques easy to implement.
The workshop is interactive, dynamic, experiential, and self-reflective in nature. The presenters use a variety of teaching tools and modalities to enhance the learning experience, make complex theory easy to grasp and the related techniques easy to implement. The presenters offer wise and compassionate guidance on everything from intake and assessment to treatment planning, the nuts and bolts of specific interventions, the nuances of establishing therapeutic relationships, and how to troubleshoot when treatment gets "stuck". Pre-readings and post-workshop resources are available for ongoing learning and interest. You will learn:
- Theoretical underpinnings of each of the major family therapy models
- How to understand and effectively use key tools such as hypothesizing, reframing, circular questioning, and genograms (as both an assessment and treatment tool)
- How to engage all family members in therapy
- Understanding the presenting problem in a family context vs the identified patient
- Understanding the family life cycle, influences of family origin and multigenerational patterns
- Guidelines for conducting assessment, initial interviews, therapy plans and termination of treatment
- Unpacking relationship issues and the influence of triangulation and alliances
- Demonstrations by experienced family therapists
This is essential training for any practitioner working with children and families ranging from Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Clinical Counsellors, Family Therapists, Counsellors, Child Protection and Disability Workers, Guidance Officers, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Residential Care Workers and Foster Support Workers. By the completion of this workshop participants will have a family-focused lens in therapy and feel confident in conducting family therapy sessions or incorporating family therapy techniques into their current client interactions. Linking theory to practice features strongly throughout each component of the workshop, as does developing practical skills to take away from the workshop. This two-day workshop has been delivered to government and non-government agencies across Queensland with consistently positive outcomes.
Dr. Kate Owen: BPsych (Hons), D.Psych (Clinical) Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT).
