Graham's Daughter Sees Prophetic Sign In God's Timing In Her Father's Passing
Jake Baker · March 04, 2018 · Faith/Family, Lifestyle, Prophecy, Christianity, Featured
Anne Graham Lotz, the daughter of Billy Graham, stated at his funeral service Friday that there is prophetic significance in God's timing in her father's death, comparing it to when Moses died and passed the baton to Joshua to lead the people of Israel into the promised land.
"I believe, from heaven's perspective, that my father's death is as significant as his life, and his life was very significant," Lotz said.
During the course of his lifetime, approximately 215 million people heard Billy Graham preach the Gospel message in person in over 185 countries, with tens of millions more reached through television, films and webcasts.
In addition to the moniker "America's Pastor," he was also known as pastor to the presidents, having met and, in some cases, became close friends with every commander-in-chief from Harry Truman to Barack Obama.
Graham's influence was so profound and lasting, he still made the top five in Gallup's most influential men in December, marking his 61st appearance in the survey.
"When he died, that was something very strategic from heaven's point of view," Lotz contended. "I know that before the foundations of the world were laid, Feb. 21, 2018 was the date that God chose to take my father home. Why?"
Lotz did some research online and learned Feb. 21 is the date Jews focus on studying scripture relating to the death of Moses.
"Moses was the great liberator," she said. "He brought millions of people out of bondage, slavery, got them to the edge of the promised land, and God took him to heaven."
Lotz noted that after Moses came Joshua, who took up the mantle and led his people into the promised land.
"My father was also a great liberator," she said. "He brought millions of people out of bondage to sin, and gets us to the edge of heaven, the edge of the promised land, and God has called him home. And could it be that God is going to bring Joshua into the promised land, lead us into heaven?"
Joshua is translated as "Jesus" in the New Testament, Lotz pointed out.
"Could it be that God is going to bring Joshua to lead us into the Promised Land, lead us to Heaven and - you know what the New Testament name for Joshua is? It's Jesus. And I believe this is a shot across the bow from Heaven. And I believe God is saying: 'Wake up church! Wake up world! Jesus is coming!'" she declared.
RELATED: These Are the Best Comments From Billy Graham's Funeral - Don't Miss Them
Michael Maiden, pastor of the Phoenix mega-church Church for the Nations, like Lotz, compared Graham's passing to the death of Moses and the raising up of Joshua.
In a Facebook post on the day of Graham's death last week, Maiden, who is world-renowned for moving in the gift of prophecy, wrote, "The death today of Billy Graham, perhaps the most successful and influential minister of the gospel in American history, I believe prophetically signifies the beginning of a long-awaited for and massive MOVE OF GOD in our country and all the earth."
"'Moses is dead...' was not simply the announcement of the END of something, it was the signal of the BEGINNING of something very important," he added.
Maiden - author of the book The Joshua Generation - went on to contend Graham's death was a "prophetic trigger" and an invitation to go forward even further in God's power. The heavenly Father was determined then to take the Joshua generation into the promised land and he is just as determined now.
"Get ready to GO where you've never gone and DO what you've never done. TODAY is an very important day for all of God's people. Fasten your seat belts and get ready to RUN!!" the preacher exhorted.
Bob Jones, who also moved powerfully in the prophetic, said many years ago, "When Billy Graham goes home it will release the next great wave. A wave of power evangelism like the world has never seen and it will bring in the greatest harvest of souls."
The Christian leader died in 2014, but his wife Bonnie reposted the prophecy upon hearing of Graham's death and exhorted, "Let not our hearts be saddened instead let our hearts rejoice. Billy Graham is now part of the great cloud of witnesses...Let us pick up our new assignments and go forth into the harvest full of power."
Lotz is determined to do just that.
She concluded her remarks on Friday saying, "I pledge to you, Daddy, that in view of His appearing, and in front of all these witnesses, I will preach the Word! I will do the work of an evangelist and I will share the Gospel and I will run my race and live my life so that five minutes before I see Jesus I have no regrets."
Lotz said, "I will live my life to exalt and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I love you Daddy."

Month: May 2008
Nebraska plays soccer?
I made it to my first couple girls high school games out here and I'm definitely impressed. The big city has some good teams. Nebraska is one of the other few schools that play HS soccer in the spring. Strangely enough for us Iowans, they play softball in the fall and baseball in the spring, so their aren't any summer sports. Anyways back to the point, I made it to a couple Millard North games. 1 vs Omaha Burke and the other vs Millard South. Millard North is Amy's Alma Mater and is currently ranked #1. They have already won their district and are headed to state in the largest class, Class A. I would like to see them play the best teams in Iowa. Their team is very comparable to WDM Valley (I only mention them, because I know the most about them). They are both 1 of the biggest schools around and have great club systems in the area.
They are just one example, but it has been evident to me that Omaha would be a great area to get back into coaching soccer. I don't know much about the history or reputations of the teams in the area, but would think that anywhere in the area would be a good place to coach good soccer players and have the possibility of being successful every year. Their club system is also very competitive. There are a few different clubs around and also great facilities. I've met a few soccer people around her by playing indoor at Off the Wall. It's nice to get a chance to play with some people from around here and have fun with it. There are always some competitive teams, but I enjoyed it. I even saw some apparel from Central Iowa, Grandview was represented well.
Speaking of which I just happened to run into one of my good soccer friends out here at a HS game. It's always nice to go to a random game by yourself and happen to see someone from 150 miles away that you know well. Ventsi (Grandview college) and I sat and caught up a little bit, it was nice. He always gets me excited about the sport. I like how soccer is a sport that has such passionate followers, and Ventsi is one of those guys.
So I'm excited that I'm still in an area where I can get back into the game and see some great games, now I just have to do it.
So we are on to the 4th rankings now. Of course Newton's 2-3 record doesn't look that great, but the loses were to the 2A #11, 1A #2, & 1A #10. So basically it looks like another great year of scheduling has messed up a decent preseason ranking. Obviously the rankings don't matter and neither does the fact that Newton is not covered by the DMRegister even though we are only 35 miles away. You'd think that we moved out of Iowa, when we dropped out of the CIML. Although I think that the regionals or state pairings are seeded at some point during the year. Which usually goes against our favor. Usually we get paired up with a Valley, Ames, Johnston, Urbandale, or Dowling, but this year Newton is a 1A team so I figured they'd have to be paired up with Norwalk, Pella, Dallas Center Grimes, or someone from Central Iowa that is pretty good. Some how we ended up with the teams that are north and east of us. Which I guess has happened a couple times. Last year we went to Cedar Rapids and my first year we faced Iowa City West (which ended up winning state). So I think the pairings this year could make for a good representation for our conference and central Iowa if things go well. Can you imagine 3 teams from the Little Hawkeye in State? Not the CIML, the Little Hawkeye. I think that would be great, of course I'd plan on a little revenge from regular season loses, but what better picture can you paint for the team that is rebuilding and loss to it's to rivals, then to beat both of them in State. Oh well, I'm a little bit of an optimist if you don't know me. I could be down 9-0 in a game and think there was a way to win it. Don't get me wrong, Newton's not down by 9 right now, They've lost a couple tough ones, but will definately bounce back. We always had a way of winning close games and surprising teams that thought they were better than us, I don't see that changing any time soon.
So since we have probably ruined our chances of being ranked for the next couple years by losing to 3 good teams, I don't mind being an underdog and I can't think of a better time to be an underdog then now. So my challenge to the current team is: take the program to somewhere that I never could, go to STATE!! It'd be the first time in Newton Girls soccer history, and don't just stop once you get there. Anything can happen at that point. Any team can win any game and you never know how things will go. I'm going to back track a little to make it clear that this won't be easy, but I'm hoping you can do it. Once you've been there, it's something that you'll never forget, it's a great atmosphere, the best fields in the state, and you get treated like royalty. Staying in nice hotels, eating good food and just playing the sport you love. So don't let the hurdles along the way get you down, there's a lot to play for.
The team over east
Another frustrating edition of Newton soccer. I left work a couple minutes early thinking I can make the drive and get there a litte early before the 7:30 PM start… wrong! The game started at 7:00. You would think that they would have held the game up so that I could make it. I did have to drive about 170 miles on a Tuesday night, I think Pella could've moved their 30 mile trip a little later. So I missed the first Pella goal, but again, things just kinda looked out of wack. There were a few matchups that were off and Pella did a nice job of controlling the ball in the midfield, but didn't really have any standouts. We had our chances, but it didn't seem like there was a team sense of urgency. The style of play would make you think that we were up a couple goals against an average team. I think if I had the chance I would put it to either Pella or Norwalk, it's no holds barred when you face them, along with a few past CIML rivals. I would have to say that the small field played to our advantage, which is maybe why Norwalk has always had an edge on Pella. I wish we would have played Pella on a small field last year. The other thing about playing Pella is that it just seems like we don't quite get out of the blocks fast enough. We tend to play at a slow pace and let things come to us instead of setting the pace of play against them. I won't even mention anything about the outcome, but it wasn't pretty.
It really hit me this game, how much I felt for the girls. They all tried so hard and gave it everything they had. They have faced a lot this year and are reacting the best they can, but have so much on their plate. It really hit me how I kinda just left them hanging. I think that if I had stayed around atleast 1 more year, we might have been able to get through a couple of these games with better outcomes. Who knows how the games would've been different, and I guess I would always feel for the team right after I left. I just want them to succeed so much. I was hoping that I'd leave and they'd win all the games, not that they would've won all their games with me, just that it would make an easier transition.
After the game I ran down to the field and tried to give everyone a quick pat on the back. I don't know if I got the message accross that I was hoping, but I just wanted them to know that I care and was rooting for them; to let them know that I had their back. I was glad to see that everyone was so upset, that sounds mean, but that's when you know that people care about the team. Everyone knows of that person that was on their team at one time or another that didn't care if the team won or lost, it was about how that individual played and I'm glad I didn't see that. The one vibe that I felt from hearing from people afterwards was that people were blaming their individual efforts for why they lost. Soccer has always been a team sport and no 1 player or 1 play losses a game. It is good that players recognize when they didn't do well, and are willing to put the weight on their shoulders, but not if they let it get them down. It wasn't any 1 players fault.
It was a long drive back, 1st time I've ever head a long trip home after a loss for a home game. So after 350 miles of driving and 5 hours on the road, I was finally home in time to go to bed. But I would do it all over again for them.

By Liz Prince (Top Shelf Productions)
There's an irrepressible rumour going about that Love makes the world go round. My grasp of physics isn't strong enough to confirm or deny that hypothesis but I have read enough comics in my time to spot a magical and unmissable celebration of the all-consuming emotion when I see one.
Liz Prince originally hailed from Sante Fe, New Mexico before heading across county in an Eastward direction to attend the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (Massachusetts, not Lincolnshire).
She is a cartoonist – one of many – who thankfully opted to create a visual journal of her life and saw that one subject kept monopolising her attention. She is also an inspired raconteur who knows how to spin a graphic yarn in adroitly truncated form. Thus this slim collection which gathers a whole bunch of sublimely intimate, hilariously real moments spent with and apart from her equally fascinating man Kevin and the awesome force which is their cat Science.
Contained in this marvellous monochrome paperback posy are vignettes exploring the giddy silliness of fresh physicality, quirkily adorable breaking of bathroom taboos, the agony and relief of momentary solitude, incidents of intimate accommodation and lots of lovely eternal challenges that test every couple… especially the often bloody traumas of explaining to the incumbent household pet that they are not necessarily "Number One" any more…
Fronted by a suitably droll but downbeat pictorial Introduction 'On Liz Prince' by legendary lovelorn doodler Jeffrey Brown, Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? is thankfully still available – and instantly so if you opt for one of the downloadable versions (Kindle, Comixology etc.), or preferably direct from Top Shelf Productions – so if you want to share some romantic fellow feeling or just need to see that there's still hope for all the lonely hearts, this a graphic gem you should promptly treat yourself to.

Virginia is working hard to set the standard for state government support of aviation as a critical asset, and two recent developments highlight those efforts.
The commonwealth's Department of Aviation, working in conjunction with the Virginia Aviation Board, has begun exploring opportunities to develop new licensed turf runways at existing public airports. Turf strips support a variety of operations, from warbird operations to giving student pilots a chance to cut their teeth on the grass. The commonwealth has determined it will need nearly 13,000 new pilots over the coming two decades to meet future demand, and state aviation officials believe expanding the number of turf runways (at present, there are only two) available is an important component of the effort to support pilot training and aviation infrastructure.
Virginia Department of Aviation Director Randall Burdette introduced the initiative to the Virginia Aviation Board, which provides funding for airport capital projects, in May. The Virginia Department of Aviation will continue evaluating the needs and opportunities to establish licensed turf runways in the near term.
As the turf effort moves forward, the state is also supporting aviators who prefer water landings. The Virginia Seaplane Pilots Association was established in May, with a splash-in at Lake Anna that included the election of Bill Fosdick as the new group's president. Fosdick struck an optimistic tone in his inaugural remarks.
"Virginia is considered a seaplane friendly state and with a concerted effort by the 209 seaplane pilots already in Virginia we can make the business and sport of flying seaplanes in Virginia much safer for the pilots and citizens of this great commonwealth through education and preservation and cooperation," Fosdick said in a news release.
One of the association's first missions is to document in the commonwealth airport directory and Seaplane Pilots Association directory information on landing waterways, including contact information for those responsible for those waterways. Burdette and Virginia Department of Aviation Director of Flight Operations and Safety Steve Harris both attended the splash-in to support the new association.
AOPA Manager of Airport Policy John Collins said that AOPA strongly supports initiatives like these.
"It's always good to see a state's support for their entire landing area system, which includes seaplane facilities and turf runways," Collins said. "AOPA looks forward to working with the Virginia Seaplane Pilots Association as well as the Seaplane Pilots Association and Virginia Department of Aviation on seaplane issues in the commonwealth."
Collins congratulated Burdette and his associates on their efforts to date and commitment to making Virginia a model for others to follow.

AOPA Pilot Editor in Chief Thomas B. Haines flew his first Skyhawk in 1979.
For the special report on the golden anniversary of the Cessna 172 in this issue, we asked staff members to share remembrances of flying the venerable Skyhawk (see " 50th Anniversary of the Skyhawk," which begins on page 70). Not surprisingly, no one had trouble coming up with a few. Likewise, lots of AOPA members also responded to our call for Skyhawk experiences — as you can read on AOPA Online. It seems the ubiquitous little airplane has a place in the heart of almost every pilot.
As I noted in the short article I wrote about flying the Better Than New 172 across the country back in 1994 (page 75), I could literally write a book about what the airplane means to me. Over the years, I have shared many memories of trips — short and long — in the 'Hawk.
In the February 1997 edition of " Waypoints," I described my new phase of life as an aircraft owner. A two-toned blue and white 1977 Skyhawk had found its way into the Haines household and quickly became a member of the family. My wife was learning to fly in an Aerospatiale Tampico, but transitioned to our 172 and soloed it later that summer. I used it for the occasional business trip, and we often flew it for weekend and day trips with our kids.
The girls were ages 4 and 2 when the Skyhawk came to roost with us. We bought car seats for the airplane and left them in the backseats to ease the hassle of loading and unloading. Soon the girls would climb into the backseats and buckle up as matter-of-factly as they would when crawling into the minivan. More often than not, they would be asleep before we leveled off at our cruise altitude; something about a purring Lycoming knocked them right out. With the kids asleep, the trips provided my wife and me a few minutes of solitude to talk and simply enjoy the view without a thousand questions from inquisitive little girls. Of course, at any moment the dynamic might change and somebody back there might invade someone else's space and then the solitude would be over.
In " Waypoints: Can't We All Get Along?" in the May 2004 issue, I relayed the story about how the poor Skyhawk was attacked by a bird that thought the airplane's tail was a fine place to raise a family. The A&P mechanic and I disagreed with the bird. The humans ultimately won, but not before this human had spent the better part of a thousand dollars. In the end, the Skyhawk had the cleanest empennage on the ramp. The humorous account won me an award in column writing from the American Society of Business Publication Editors.
It's often been said that the happiest days in an aircraft owner's life are the day he buys his airplane and the day he sells it.
Not true for me. As I detailed in " Waypoints: Goodbye, Old Friend," in the October 1999 issue, I was sad the day the Skyhawk flew out of my life. My new-to-me Bonanza was parked across the ramp. Over the years, I've come to love that old Beechcraft and it's a much more practical airplane for my typical missions, but it will never fill that special place in my heart for the Skyhawk — my first airplane.
Like many, many pilots, I learned to fly in Cessna 150s and 152s. My first step-up airplane was the 172, which, at the time, seemed like a very big step up. Within days of earning my private pilot certificate, I began the checkout procedure in the Skyhawk so that I could take more than one family member and friend up for a flight.
When the only airplane you've ever flown is a 150/152, the Skyhawk seems downright mighty. A baggage compartment with a door! Two nav/coms! A DME! Geez, it's like an airliner. Never mind that the DME was one of those old-timers where the numbers on a drum spin past like they did on the old gas pumps. Just as Cessna envisioned, the move up to the 172 was an easy one.
My sign-off to fly complex airplanes came in a 172RG Cutlass, sometimes called "Gutless." To me, though, it was just downright cool to be able to fold those feet into the fuselage.
Years later when AOPA began its annual sweepstakes to fix up and then give away an airplane, yours truly got tapped to manage the first project — and then the second, third, and fourth ones too. The first project airplane was the Good as New 172 in 1993. Our candidate airplane was a 1974 M-model Skyhawk. I flew to Massachusetts to pick it up from the seller. He and his wife looked on forlornly as I taxied away — a look I would understand more fully years later when I waved goodbye to my own Skyhawk.
The project turned into a great adventure as I flew the airplane to the Lycoming factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for its engine overhaul. There were multiple trips to Summit Aviation, the avionics shop in Delaware. And ultimately to Oxford Aviation, the paint and interior shop in Maine. I was stunned when I picked it up with its shiny new paint job, which transitioned the airplane from 1970s gold and white to a businesslike 1990s gray, red, and white.
That first sweepstakes closed on December 31, 1993. The drawing occurred a few weeks later, pointing to a winner in Fort Pierce, Florida. I was to fly the airplane to Vero Beach, Florida, just up the beach from Fort Pierce. AOPA President Phil Boyer would pick it up in Vero Beach and fly it to the presentation. I would be on the ground team at Fort Pierce.
With temperatures in Maryland forecast to be among the coldest on record, I rolled the pretty airplane into a heated hangar the night before departure. The mercury dipped to nearly 20 degrees below zero — simply unheard of here in the "South." Dressed like the Michelin Man, I waddled out to the hangar, preflighted, and stuffed myself into the pilot's seat. The ground crew pushed the airplane outside and I quickly fired up the Lycoming. I headed south through the crisp, clear air, the airplane offering up tremendous performance under such conditions. I zigged my way through the long-since-closed VFR corridor through the Washington Class B airspace and dialed Florence, South Carolina, into the Magellan GPS — the latest and greatest panel-mount unit in those days. A few hours later I was shedding layers of clothing as I began the descent. By the time I got to Vero Beach, I was down to jeans and a T-shirt.
The winner was thrilled and kept the airplane for a number of years. The airplane still lives in Florida, flying now for a flight school.
When Cessna wasn't building new piston airplanes from 1986 to 1996, it was easy to refurbish one to "better than new" quality. We did just that with the 1994 Better Than New 172 project, which upped the ante over the 1993 airplane.
About then, though, Cessna got back into the business and our 1995 sweepstakes was the First New 172, which was delivered in early 1997. In October 1996, I flew a new 172 from AOPA Expo in San Jose, California, to Phoenix. It was a beautiful day when I climbed into the airplane at Reid-Hillview Airport. With a Cessna rep in the right seat, we transited the complex San Francisco airspace and stopped in Santa Barbara for fuel. The next leg took us across the Los Angeles Basin, past Palm Springs, and over the hill to Borrego Springs, where we met up with another team from Cessna for giant hamburgers at the airport restaurant.
Later in the day, we headed east toward Phoenix, touching down on Sky Harbor's long runway right at dusk. It was a delightful reintroduction to the Skyhawk and an opportunity for me to discover how truly new the new 172 was. With its fuel-injected engine, spiffy new Honeywell Bendix/King panel, capable autopilot, and three-point harnesses strapped to 26-G seats, this was unlike anything we had refurbished.
The plucky Skyhawk has taught me lots over the years — about airmanship, navigation, and ownership. It can reward you with a chirp-chirp landing on a dead-calm evening, but just as likely, it can remind you that no matter how simple the airplane, flying carries with it a responsibility to be safe and to remember that the flying doesn't stop until the engine is shut down. It is those lessons, probably more than the individual flights, that I will remember most about the Skyhawk as it moves into its second half-century of flight.

I am applying for new jobs. This is being extremely brave of me… I've had a somewhat interesting employment history, and have only ever done the apply for a job, be interviewed and offered the job once in my entire life!
My current job has kind of evolved around me. It began as something else altogether, but I was noted to be good at one aspect of the work, one we hadn't realised I would have a natural aptitude for at all. I gave up the original role three years ago, settled into this new role and have never looked back.
But, I work 30 miles away, I now have a second job, organ playing, which is close to home, which I am loving and want to do more of. I'm tired of and by the travelling. The ethos of the job has shifted, and the primary concern no longer seems to be the students. I'm exhausted by some aspects of the role as it has evolved.
So, I am trying for work closer to home… similar field, but in a different environment.
Here's hoping.

Tommy Dunne insists Tipperary need fresh recruits to the cause as they try to shake off last year's Championship humiliation.
It's still far too raw for Dunne to reflect on where it went so badly wrong in the All-Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny.
Feted for a playing career that produced two Munster titles and one All-Ireland triumph, Dunne was part of Declan Ryan's management team that swiftly exited stage left following the embarrassing 18-point surrender to the Cats.
Stung by the defeat and the toughest criticism he's encountered, Dunne decided it was time for a year-long hiatus in the aftermath.
"No big commitments," he smiled.
So he's not missing it? "I wouldn't say that," Dunne replied. "But I knew I just needed a bit of time to recharge, you know."
Had Tipp won the McCarthy Cup last year, a drained Dunne would still have walked away.
Nine months on, he hasn't begun to revisit how things unravelled so badly. "I don't think I want to get into it for a while yet, to be honest with you," admitted the 39-year-old.
"It was just massively disappointing, given the level of effort and commitment on everybody's part.
"Then to go out and not perform anywhere like you know you can... when you're involved with management and coaching, it just leaves you with a lot of questions, shakes all your fundamental beliefs about what you're trying to do.
"So you can imagine all the soul searching that goes on after that."
Ahead of their Munster SHC opener on Sunday, Dunne believes Tipperary can bounce back – but warns they face a "serious" start against Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.
And he warns that with key men reaching the veteran stage, Tipp must add quality newcomers if they're not to slip away from contention with Kilkenny and Galway over the next few years.
"They'll need lots of things to go right for them," said the former Premier ace.
"The likes of Eoin (Kelly), John O'Brien and Larry (Corbett) — they're still hurling fairly well but you need them injury-free and it's debatable whether you can get 70 minutes out of all of them anymore.
"The back line, will probably need a couple of extra options.
"What they have is the nucleus of a very strong squad – but they're probably hoping to uncover maybe three or four guys, staking a claim as a top-15, top-20 player."
Dunne insists the Tipp players involved in last August's hammering won't be mentally scarred.
"Most are experienced players, they've been through up and downs," he reflected. "So I don't think it's going to have a lasting impression.
"The league will have done a lot to actually help rebuild their confidence."
Dunne highlights the players' good relationship with new boss Eamon O'Shea.
He said: "Pretty quickly, they seemed to have a bit of momentum built up.
"Tipp needed to be competitive in the final and they were. Overall they couldn't have too many qualms with the result but I don't think there's going to be too much hangover there.
"They'll try and learn from the mistakes but won't let last year hold them back. We probably won't know for sure until the end of the year."
However the Toomevara man reckons Limerick will put it up to Tipp.
"Limerick are real dark horses," he stated. "They've had some nice under-21 teams in the recent past, they've had a nice low-key build-up and have Tipp on their home patch.
"It's a serious game for Tipp to open up with.
"Kilkenny, Tipp and Galway probably are the big three but maybe Limerick or Clare or Waterford in Munster, if they get on a run they could have a good summer."

Berrymans Lace Mawer for appellant, Jacobs & Reeves for respondents
A pollution claim was brought against a garage company. The company's public liability insurers initially conducted the defence but ceased to do so when they formed the view that the claim was not covered under the policy. Judgment in default was then ordered and the company, which was insolvent, was unable to pay the judgment and the costs order made against it. The claimants therefore sought, and obtained, an order that the insurers pay their costs. The insurers appealed to the Court of Appeal. It has now held as follows:
(1) The judge had correctly exercised his discretion under section 51 of the Senior Courts Act 1981 (which allowed him to make a non-party costs order).
The relevant criteria for making a costs order against insurers were set out by the Court of Appeal in TGA Chapman v Christopher [1998]. They are: (a) the insurers determined that the claim would be fought; (b) the insurers funded the defence; (c) the insurers conducted the litigation; (d) the insurers fought the claim exclusively to defend their own interests; and (e) the defence failed in its entirety.
The key issue here was whether the insurers had acted exclusively or predominantly in their own interests in defending the claim. The Court of Appeal concluded that they had. They had sought to avoid a claim falling within the cover provided by the policy. If they had not funded the defence, the insured would not have done so: "The only reasonable inference from the precarious financial position of [the insured] and from its failure to defend the claims once the insurers withdrew their support is that, but for the insurers' support, [the insured] would not have defended the claims and the claimants would have avoided the bulk of the costs they were forced to incur". It made no difference to this conclusion that the insurers had substantially successfully defended the part of the claim which might have fallen to be covered under the policy.
(2) Although not required to do so, the Court of Appeal also considered whether the insured had been entitled to an indemnity against the claimants' costs under the policy (and thus this entitlement would have been transferred to the claimants under the Third Party (Rights against Insurers) Act 1930).
The Court of Appeal acknowledged that (in the absence of express wording) the general position is that the insured's own costs in defending an unsuccessful claim are not covered under a liability policy. (The Court of Appeal's comments were made in reference to an extract from MacGillivray on Insurance Law, which in turn was discussing a sample clause which would not provide cover for unsuccessful claims. However, its suggestion that an insured should seek to agree wording in the policy to cover unsuccessful claims suggests that the Court of Appeal did not believe that there would be cover in the absence of such wording).
However, the policy can provide broader cover (where the claim is unsuccessful or does not fall within the scope of the policy). The policy in question had a definition of "Costs and Expenses", which provided as follows:
"1 any claimant's legal costs for which the Policyholder is legally liable
2 all costs and expenses incurred with the [insurer's] written consent
3 all solicitors' fees for legal representation at
… (b) any proceedings in any court…
in connection with any event which is or may be the subject of indemnity".
The lay-out above suggested that the last sentence (which covers costs incurred even if there has been no insured loss) qualifies only paragraph 3 and not paragraphs 1 and 2 as well.
However, the Court of Appeal held that the lay-out was "only a factor to be taken into account and its effect may well be displaced by the context or sense of the clause in question". To find that the last sentence did not qualify paragraph 2 would lead to the "extraordinary result" that insurers would not be liable to pay costs incurred with their consent if the claim against the insured failed. Even if the insured received a costs order in its favour, this would be unlikely to cover all its costs and, in any event, the claimant may be unable to pay. The Court of Appeal held that that consideration was "more than sufficient to displace any weight that may be placed on the lay-out". Accordingly, the last sentence also qualified paragraph 1, and so the insured was entitled to be indemnified by the insurers against the costs order in favour of the claimants.
Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed.
COMMENT: The decision regarding section 51 is in line with earlier caselaw. It confirms that an insurer is likely to be liable for costs where an insured is insolvent or is unlikely to be interested in defending the claim against it. Insureds will usually have an interest in defending professional negligence claims (for reputational reasons), though, so this condition is unlikely to be met in such cases (unless the insured is insolvent).
The Court of Appeal's view that, in the absence of express policy wording, the general position is that the insured's own costs in meeting an unsuccessful claim are not covered under a liability policy because such claims do not fall within the cover provided by the policy is of interest. (The Court of Appeal's comments were made in reference to an extract from MacGillivray on Insurance Law, which in turn was discussing a sample clause which would not provide cover for unsuccessful claims. However, its suggestion that an insured should seek to agree wording in the policy to cover unsuccessful claims suggests that the Court of Appeal did not believe that there would be cover in the absence of such wording).
However, there is prior authority for the proposition that defence costs are payable where there is a "mere possibility" that the claim advanced against the insured is covered by the policy. In other words, the fall-back position is to look at the nature of the claims rather than whether or not they eventually succeed. In practical terms, that is possibly a better approach, since there is no need to await the (uncertain) outcome of the case in order to determine whether the defence costs are covered under the policy.

7 members of PIA crew arrested in London on money laundering, smuggling allegations
When British Custom Intelligence searched the crew of PIA's PK-788, they recovered not only currency but mobile phones as well, from seven members of the crew.
Assistant Manager Scheduling and Owais Quraishi and five other members were arrested by the authorities in London. London police is currently interrogating the arrested crew members over money laundering and currency smuggling allegations. After reported warnings by the British Agency, the resulting violations could result in a ban or heavy fine for the national airline.

Reporting from Washington — When Republicans announced they would kick off their reign in the House will a full reading of the U.S. Constitution, many dismissed the gesture as merely symbolic. Few, however, expected it to be so complicated.
As lawmakers prepared for the first-ever reading of the Constitution on the House floor, a brief debate erupted Thursday over exactly which portions of it should be read.
Were members to read the full text, including the sections nullified by later amendments? Would a lawmaker read the phrase "three-fifths of all other persons," a description made void by the abolition of slavery?
Nothing is simple, it seems, in the discussion of the Constitution. Although many viewed Thursday's exercise as a nod to the conservative "tea party" movement, which pushes for a narrow reading of the Constitution, it was a Democrat who advocated the fullest reading of the document.

The Big Bang Theory is a newish sitcom from Chuck Lorre, best known for Two and a Half Men(cue chorus of groans and growls). Like that show, it has plenty to object to, notably the two lead characters, both white male physicists. Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is the audience surrogate for the Nice Guys in the audience, with all that entails. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) clearly has Aspereger's and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and we are encouraged to laugh at him for this. Their friends include Howard (Simon Helberg), who is Jewish and lives with his mother, and Rajesh (Kunal Nayyar), who is from India and whose domineering parents have left him unable to speak in a woman's presence.
The object of Leonard's unspoken affections (we knew this was coming, of course) is Penny (Kaley Cuoco), who had moved into the apartment across the hall. She quickly befriends Leonard and Rajesh (despite his inability to talk around her), while tolerating Sheldon and Howard.
And here we get to the part that surprised me: Penny doesn't take crap. Every time Howard hits on her or makes a double entendre in her presence, she politely but firmly tells him to stop, but becomes actively threatening whenever he doesn't get the message. Whenever Sheldon condescends to her, she calls him out on it. When the male characters condescend to her about assembling the entertainment center she just bought, she quietly assembles it lwhile they posture to each other about the best course of action.
The show as a whole is full of sexist material, and I certainly am not recommending it, but Penny is an unusual bright spot in the morass that is American sitcom TV.

April 1943. Illinois Central R.R. freight cars at the South Water Street freight terminal, Chicago. The C & O and Nickel Plate Railroads lease part of this terminal. View full size. 4x5 Kodachrome transparency by Jack Delano.
Chicago certainly had a more elegant skyline back then, didn't it?
The outside (uncropped) dimensions are 4x5. Many of these were taken with Speed Graphic press cameras.
If the dimensions are indeed 4.3 by 3.4 inches, then this was most probably taken with a 3¼ X 4¼ Graflex, which was a popular professional camera of the time. Graflexes were big reflex cameras made from the 20s until after WW2. They lost their popularity to more modern equipment and today can be found only on eBay...
Thanks Steve! Here is one from 1943. I reversed it so the lettering isn't backward:
The numbers indicate the batch number of a particular run of film. Photographer who shot may images over a short period of time always tried to buy film of the same batch number to try to insure some color consistancy from box to box of film.
Steve Crise
Its 4x5 for sure. Thing I'd like to know is if it is indeed Kodachrome. I know 4x5 Kodachrome did exist in the 1950's. However I'm not sure about 1944. I tried looking up code notches on a Kodak web site but they didn't go back that far. I was able to confirm based on the notches that is at least on Safety Film and not a nitrate base.
Steve Crise
Thanks for the info. Along the edge it says "EASTMAN -- SAFETY -- KODAK 62" (they all seem to be KODAK 62 or KODAK 3) and in two places is the number 679. Some of the others also have 679. Others have 678 or 640. The dimensions seem to be about 4.3 by 3.4 inches.
You asked about the format. It looks like 4x5. It's sheet film -- you can see the sheet film ID notches and and marks from the developing hangers, which are only used on sheet film. It's proportioned like 4x5 or 8x10. It looks like 4x5 because of the sizes of the notches and hanger marks relative to the size of the picture.
I think that back in the early days Kodachrome was made in sheet film sizes. I can't read the ID on the edge of the image, but that should tell you.

Ralph Nader's capture of the Peace and Freedom Party's (PFP) California Ballot line provides a major step in his Presidential campaign this year, affording him the opportunity of appearing on the ballot in the state that gave him a 3.9% margin in 2000. This brings his overall state ballot access to 23 with a hope of securing another 22 by September 20. It also greatly legitimizes his media worthiness, thereby adding to his campaign strength.
Nader won the California Green Party primary with a substantial lead (60.7 per cent), despite his not being a declared candidate. However, when he announced at the end of February that he was running as an Independent, he also prepared his Green constituents that he would cede his grasp of the California State Green Party ballot line to former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
Nader's repeated declaration was a boon to the McKinney campaign, assuring her the lead in the national Green Party nomination. However, doubts loomed in the McKinney camp and amongst some Greens as to whether or not Nader would honor his repeated assurances of releasing claim to the Green Party line. Similarly, the Nader camp was concerned that McKinney would not relinquish her grasp on the PFP line of which she had won 21.4 per cent in the primaries, falling behind Nader at 41 percent. The third place candidate, Gloria LaRiva of the PFP and the Socialist and Liberation Party took 21%. Brian Moore, Socialist Party, sat at 4. per cent.
The PFP convention did not share the happy veil of "coopetition' that had filled the Green Party Convention a few weeks earlier. The Green Party candidates had worked in large part together throughout their campaigns, assisting one another with moral and strategic support and in the case of Kat Swift and Kent Mesplay, even shared a campaign manager. The PFP convention, however, was contentious, with factionalism spurring infinite definitions of socialism ranging from anti-corporate to pro-Marxist perspectives.
However, McKinney did not spend a lot of time campaigning and she was traveling without an entourage. Instead, she was using her time to explore the PFP of which she had little experience. In the hospitality room she shared with LaRiva, McKinney said with a warm smile, "In California, you sure have a lot of choices!" She spoke to the 20 people stuffed into the room about her recent trip to Stockton, California, a center of migrant farm laborers. In the tightly packed convention room, her literature was sparsely displayed and parlay with her delegates was minimal. Anxiety amongst those devoted to Nader relaxed the next day with news that McKinney had left the convention before the vote for a previous speaking engagement.
The delegates were not bound to the primary results so speeches made at the convention held great power to persuade. Betweeen the first and second day of the convention, Nader addressed the concerns of those who thought he was not far enough left for the PFP. And Peter Camejo, Nader's 2004 running mate and a respected member within Socialist circles, fired up the crowd, a feat which demonstrated remarkable strength, given he is once again undergoing cancer treatments and had just undergone a blood transfusion the previous day. Then there was Matt Gonzalez, Nader's running mate this year, whose articulation of his capabilities and goals sealed the Nader campaign's intentions and its value to the PFP. It was clear, in the first round of voting that Nader had taken the nomination. The Naderites cheered jubilantly and the previously tense faces relaxed into deep relief.
The Green Party saw a 100% jump in its registered members, due in large part to the enthusiasm generated with the 2000 Nader campaign. However, according to one Green Party founding member Ross Mirkarimi, the party was never able to capitalize on the kind of organization Nader had around him. Building a party was not Nader's goal. Rather, he wants to attack the vehicles blocking the path of all third parties and independents - ballot access. He was interested in toiling the soil in which the seeds could be planted, in which any progressive party could better flourish. While not enough for everyone, it was clearly a welcome opportunity for the majority of delegates at the PFP convention.

The English countryside is littered with fine castles, some dating back almost 1,000 years. Corfe, in Dorset, has something of a rarity though. A ruined castle. The French have plenty of these types of castle, seeing as how most major armed conflict of the last millennium have involved armies crossing the Channel from England to France, and not the other way round. No wonder the French hate us. Although not as much as we thought. Perhaps 400,000 of them have settles in London, which would make it the 5th most populous French city were it located a couple of hundred miles due south.
But anyway, I digress. Corfe Castle. A thousand years of history. Ruined. The Parliamentarians lay siege to it twice in the last Civil War in the 1600's, eventually taking possession of it with some tricky and betrayal. And, as one of the most important Royal castles, it was undermined and blown up with gunpowder. For fear of it being retaken and used once again as a fortress. And so it remains to this day, a glorious stone skeleton sat atop a hill overlooking the surrounding area. It is still stormed by armies today however. Armies of tourists, making their way up to see if they can get a sense of the history of the place. Nearly two hundred thousand of them annually. That's quite some army.
Neither Parliamentarians nor Cavaliers possess the castle today. That honour was bestowed upon the National Trust, a charity that looks after a huge portfolio of buildings, forests and other national treasures. It's truly a national treasure unto itself, and with annual membership for a couple being just £85.50, I might well sign on the dotted line once Paola has come ashore, and we both have a source of income. Photos? Of course. Click here.

Constellation Delphinus Astrology
Constellation Delphinus the Dolphin, is a northern constellation sitting above Sagittarius constellation, between Aquila and Pegasus. Delphinius spans 6 degrees of the Zodiac in the Sign of Aquarius, and and contains 3 named fixed stars.
Delphinus Constellation Stars
16 ♒ 20
17 ♒ 23
β Delphinus
α Delphinus
(Star positions for year 2000)
When Amphitrite, who was sought as a wife by Neptune, hid herself, the God sent messengers to find her. The dolphin was the first to succeed and persuaded her to consent to the marriage, for which service Neptune placed him in the heavens. According to other accounts it is one of the pirates who were changed into dolphins by Bacchus on his voyage to Ariadne.
According to Ptolemy, Delphinus is like Saturn and Mars. It gives a simple appearance, cheerfulness, dissembling and duplicity, love of hunting, and sport in general but little happiness. There is a fondness for pleasure, ecclesiastical matters and travel, but danger of suffering from ingratitude. [1]
Delphinus, the Dolphin… It now is one of the smallest constellations, but originally may have included the stars that Hipparchos set off to form the new Equuleus; and in all astronomical literature has borne its present title and shape, with many and varied stories attached, for its namesake was always regarded as the most remarkable of marine creatures. In Greece it also was Ieros Ikhthus, the Sacred Fish, the creature being of as much religious significance there as a fish afterwards became among the early Christians; and it was the sky emblem of philanthropy, not only from the classical stories connected with its prototype, but also from the latter's devotion to its young. It should be remembered that our stellar Dolphin is figured as the common cetacean, Delphinus delphis, of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters, not the tropical Coryphaena that Dorado represents.
Delphinus lies east of Aquila, on the edge of the Milky Way, occupying, with the adjoining aqueous figures, the portion of the sky that Aratos called the Water. It culminates about the 15th of September. [2]
The sea-dark Dolphin ascends from the Ocean to the heavens and emerges with its scales figured by stars, birth is given to children who will be equally at home on land and in the sea. For just as the dolphin is propelled by its swift fins through the waters, now cleaving the surface, now the depths below, and derives momentum from its undulating course, wherein it reproduces the curl of waves, so whoever is born of it will speed through the sea. Now lifting one arm after the other to make slow sweeps he will catch the eye as he drives a furrow of foam through the sea and will sound afar as he thrashes the waters; now like a hidden two-oared vessel he will draw apart his arms beneath the water; now he will enter the waves upright and swim by walking and, pretending to touch the shallows with his feet, will seem to make a field of the surface of the sea; else, keeping his limbs motionless and lying on his back or side, he will be no burden to the waters but will recline upon them and float, the whole of him forming a sail-boat not needing oarage.
Other men take pleasure in looking for the sea in the sea itself: they dive beneath the waves and try to visit Nereus and the sea nymphs in their caves; they bring forth the spoils of the sea and the booty that wrecks have lost to it, and eagerly search the sandy bottom. From their different sides swimmers and divers share an equal enthusiasm for both pursuits, for their enthusiasm, though displayed in different ways, springs from a single source.
With them you may also reckon men of cognate skill who leap in the air, thrown up from the powerful spring-board, and execute a see-saw movement, the first's descent throwing up the second and the plunge of the second lifting the first on high; or hurl their limbs through the fire of flaming hoops, imitating the dolphin's movement in their flight through space, and land as gently on the ground as they would in the watery waves: they fly though they have no wings and sport amid the air. Even if the Dolphin's sons lack these skills, they will yet possess a physique suited to them; nature will endow them with strength of body, briskness of movement, and limbs which fly over the plain. [3]
This is a bright cluster of 18 stars, five of which are of the 3rd magnitude. It is easily distinguished by the four brightest, which are in the head. It is always figured as a fish full of life, and always with the head upwards, just as the eagle is always with the head downwards. The great peculiar characteristic of the dolphin is its rising up, leaping, and springing out of the sea. When we compare this with the dying goat and falling eagle, what conclusion can we come to but that we have here the filling in of the picture, and the completion of the whole truth set forth in CAPRICORNUS?
This is the picture here. In the Persian planisphere there seems to be a fish and a stream of water. The Egyptian has a vessel pouring out water. The ancient names connected with this constellation are Dalaph (Hebrew), pouring out of water; Dalaph (Arabic), coming quickly; Scalooin (Arabic), swift (as the flow of water); Rotaneb or Rotaneu (Syriac and Chaldee), swiftly running.

Melbourne hotels give away $20k Warhol classic
Starting this week, guests staying at a group of Melbourne hotels will get the chance to go home with something a little better than a tiny bottle of shampoo or a scratchy white bathrobe -- a genuine $20,000 Andy Warhol print.
All visitors need do is check into any of the city's three Art Series Hotels and pick out what they think is the Real McCoy from the art hanging on the walls at the time.
Problem is, though, of the 10 "Warhols" hung between May 15 and August 3, only one will, in fact, be real.
The remainder will be expert forgeries created by art forger Tony Tetro for the "Which Warhol's Warhol's?" challenge.
Given the high probability of more than one correct answer, the winner of the classic art will be decided by the best answer given justifying the choice.
Management say they're looking for "creative and insightful rationale" and to have their interest "tickled."
Serious motives
Art Series Hotel CEO Will Deague explained the non-PR reasons for the headline-grabbing campaign.
"In running 'Which Warhol,' we're looking to profile this serious issue and stimulate discussion and debate around the production of replica art," he said.
"What does it mean for the industry, how can you pick a fake from a real, what value do we actually place on art?"
There's hope for all participants too, as one forgery will be unmasked every week during the promotion and that, too, will be given to lucky guests.
Art Series room rates at its Cullen, Olsen and Blackman hotels start at $209 for locations in Prahran, South Yarra and St Kilda Road, respectively.

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe On some routers (e.g. TP-LINK models), OpenWrt will start to blink a LED (e.g. the "SYS" LED) on the front of the router when it is in its early boot cycle. The blink rate is about twice a second. Looking for a blink pattern is much more convenient to use instead of having to use a packet sniffer.
Power on the router
As soon as this blink pattern is seen, press the hardware button the front of the router
The SYS LED will change to faster blink pattern, indicating the router is now in failsafe mode
should be your wifi one i'd imagine.

You just saved me a router. I appreciate your help.
I'm kind of stuck at configuring the connection though. For some reason, the internet is not working. I changed the WAN connection type to PPPEO (which is the right one for me), entered user name and password. Cloned my macaddress (since my router mac is not registered with my ISP. Am i missing anything else?

For anybody else with a bricked router on openwrt, I'll sum up what worked for me:
Change ip settings in LAN properties (not sure if its a required step, but won't take much time): go to IPV4 settings, select "use the following ip address", enter 192.168.1.9 , subnet mask: clicking in that field should automatically generate 255.255.255.0 . Leave the rest unchanged.
Boot router in failsafe:
To do this, connect your PC to the WAN port of your router with an ethernet cable. Keep the "wifi" switch on your router off. Then plug in your router power cable. At boot, the one LED comes on first, and after a few seconds the 2nd LED does a slow blink. As soon as you see that happen, press the "Reset" button on your router. This will cause the LEDs to remain in fast blink. This indicates you have entered failsafe mode.
**Different routers enter failsafe in different ways. Mine is TL-WR841N v8. Google failsafe mode for your router. In some routers, you need to connect your PC to the LAN port or LAN 1 port instead of WAN port. Also you might have a different button instead of RESET.
Once in failsafe mode
Click on Start in windows, run the command prompt "cmd" or run "telnet". For the CMD window type telnet 192.168.1.1
For the telnet window type open 192.168.1.1
After this, regardless of whether you opened cmd or telnet, rest of the steps remain the same.
-Define a password by typing passwd hit Enter
- type your password hit enter
- retype password hit enter.
These 3 steps did not work for me. But in case you are able to work with it, great.
Next step Kill the Openwrt firmware by typing mtd -r erase rootfs_data
At this point your router will reboot and after a while if you are connected to the WAN port in step 1, you would unfortunately lose connection. Anyway, don't let that bother you. Go back to your LAN properties and select "Automatically assign Ip" option in your ipv4 settings. Replug your ethernet cable to your LAN port. Put in your internet cable into the LAN port. Type 192.168.1.1 in your browser, the user name (root) and password fields should autopopulate so just hit Log in. And then follow your regular ISP settings to set up your internet connection.
The issue I still face is if I restore a backup file or reboot my router, it gets bricked again. So i'm going to keep it powered on forever lol.
Also what works instead of the command mtd -r erase rootfs_data you can alternately enter firstboot and you are likely to see a message on the lines of "root erased"or something. Then type reboot -f and hit Enter. Rest remains the same.
METHOD 2: Involves using FTP (I couldn't get it to work for me, but its worked for others)
1. Go to control panel, click on programs, programs and features and on the left panel click on 'Turn windows features on or off'
2. Enable the following the press OK:
- Internet information services
- Click on the + next to Internet information services and ensure FTP Server is ticked, and also the folders within FTP Server
- Near the bottom of the list enable 'Telnet Client'
Press OK and these will install.
3. Download the firmware file you want to switch to, lets say in this case lets call the file "841nv8.bin"
4. Create a folder anywhere on your PC and call it something like 'sysupgrade', and put the file you downloaded above into it.
5. Set your computer with static address 192.168.1.9 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
6. Go back into control panel, go to system and security, administrative tools, and double click on 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager'
7. On the left you should see your PC name, expand that and right click on 'sites' and 'add ftp site'.
Enter any name you like and for the physical path select the folder you created earlier with the sysupgrade file inside.
Click next and set the IP Address to 192.168.1.9
Press 'Allow SSL' and leave everything else the same and click next
Under Authentication select Anonymous, and Authorization to All Users with Read Permissions. Click finish
8. To test this connection, open a web browser and enter
You should see the file
9. Disable windows firewall (important step. your router may not find the sysupgrade file with firewall enabled).
Unplug the router power cable. Boot in Failsafe mode (refer to the description above in the First method)
To get this file to the router you need to telnet to the router:
Open command prompt and enter: telnet 192.168.1.1
then you enter
cd /tmp
To get the file into this directory enter:
wget http://192.168.1.9/wr841nv8.bin
then, were ready to upgrade
#go to /tmp directory
cd /tmp
#check firmware file integrity
md5sum openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
#use sysupgrade to flash sysupgrade image. it's one line
sysupgrade -n wr841nv8.bin
Wait a few minutes. If successful, the router will reboot with the desired firmware.
If it doesnt reboot, wait a few more minutes and repower the router, it should then allow access.

Different Bag
I am still amaze at the flexibilities of such a simple piece of plastic that permits to keep the cookies fresh after I open the original package, You know that sensation of crunchy and not saggy that comes from the exposure to the humidity in the air. The same goes for cereal, crackers and instant potatoes but it did surprises me when started using the darn things to keep organize. I use the bags for receipts from the groceries I buy and keep the in the folder organize in the file cabinet.
The same for important old paperwork like my birth certificate to proof that I am an American citizen. Does seasons bags that come from the Mexican take out and Chinese restaurant, never had a chance to form cluster at my house, they are all place in the same place were I can find then for cooking or for seasoning in our kitchen. The little screws from the computer and the appliance that always manage to became misplace when you need then to put back together the articles, no more my trusty bag is there to save the day.
Why will I put this article in a environment aware site?
Well just because is the same substance use to fill the tank of our cars that promotes contamination in the air we breath and the land fill get really upset with the bags. I believe that is what you got and how you use it is what counts. I you keep thinking in terms of disposable you are still a looser, if you make an effort to find a way to see in a different light that every day articles that produce the problems we have today I think it will be a step in the right direction. What do you think?
Is like the moron politician and corn distillery farmers that say that methanol or alcohol is tide up to the limit of corn grown in this country and that is way the prices are so high. Well flash news morons, you do not need corn kernels along to get methane or combustible for the engines of our cars, you can use the plant itself the organic trash that we have so mush problems storing in the landfills, the sewage from the waste disposable, the treatment plants gases and the bacteria that extract and produce the the gas itself.
Another hint for you guys out there in the oil and gas manufacturing money-have now thinking people, the creature that do not change or evolve with the ambient became extinct, gone, no more, a fossil. General rule of evolution 101.
Yes you can suppress and even treat me, but at the end is your children, your family, your descendants that will ask you for a reason of your actions. So be good for goodness sake because gilt is coming to town.
Have a heart and find something to help yourself and others please do not be like the "TB guy" in the news, selfish.
