Moving to new premises is a great and exhausting adventure. Moving with an antiquarian bookshop to new premises is even a greater adventure – and much more exhausting. Every antiquarian bookseller who has undergone this experience, or torture, knows about it.
ILAB President Norbert Donhofer runs a well-known antiquarian bookshop specializing in rare and fine books from all centuries, including natural history, architecture and the history of Austria. For years his shop was located in the heart of Vienna at Palais Schönborn-Batthyány built in the early 18th century by Fischer von Erlach. Months ago he decided to move to new premises. What had been following was hard work, and still is, until on 22 April the new office of Norbert Donhofer Rare Books will be totally installed at Taborstrasse 64/Top 18 – overlooking Vienna with a beautiful view of the historical buildings in the Austrian capital. As always for antiquarian booksellers, books come first. So, everything is arranged, the shelves have been filled with rare and valuable books, maps, prints, and manuscripts – many of them will be shown to visitors for the very first time! The roof terrace, however, still needs decoration.
Only 24 hours after the official opening of his new office, Norbert Donhofer invites customers, colleagues and booklovers to an ILAB Pop Up Book Fair on his roof terrace, to enjoy beautiful books, a beautiful view and a glass of wine. And please, bring flowers for the terrace! Plant them on the terrace and make the antiquarian book business even more colourful! Help fill the – symbolic – empty bookcases with – symbolic – book spines by making a donation for the UNESCO literacy projects in South Sudan!
A year ago, it was ILAB President Norbert Donhofer's idea that ILAB should take part in the worldwide celebrations on UNESCO World Book and Copyright Day. Now, on 23 April 2015 from noon to 3 pm the ILAB Pop Up Book Fair at Norbert Donhofer Rare Books on top of Vienna will be one of 30 worldwide ILAB events on that day!
Norbert Donhofer and his son Matthias – famous to ILAB affiliates, because he shot the decisive goal in the football match ILAB vs Italy during the ILAB Congress in Bologna 2010 – will welcome all who are interested!
THURSDAY 23 APRIL - 12 noon to 3 pm
Norbert Donhofer Rare Books - Taborstrasse 64/Top 18 - 1020 Vienna - AUSTRIA

Barack Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (pictured) is to resign in an attempt to draw a line under the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare.
Sebelius, who oversaw the creation of ObamaCare and has been a lightning rod for criticism over its bungled rollout, will formally make the announcement on Friday.
Mr. Obama will nominate Sylvia Burwell, director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her.
Shortly after news of Sebelius' resignation broke, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus took the opportunity to predict "that there are more problems on the way" for the president's signature health care reform law.
"The next HHS Secretary will inherit a mess -- Americans facing rising costs, families losing their doctors, and an economy weighed down by intrusive regulations," Priebus said in a statement. "No matter who is in charge of HHS, ObamaCare will continue to be a disaster and will continue to hurt hardworking Americans."

Project Valour-IT
January 18th, 2006
Dear Mrs. Smith,
It was brought to my attention that your organization, Soldier's Angels, did something very special for the Marines of our Injured Support Battalion. I want to take this time and thank you so much for your contribution to make special memories for those who sacrifice so much.
Your contribution of laptops is quite above and beyond. I am grateful that you have taken time to honor our injured heroes.
I remain...
The experience of Major Chuck Ziegenfuss (pictured), a partner in the project who suffered serious hand wounds while serving in Iraq, led to the creation of this program that has used voice-controlled laptops to the support recovery and reintegration of thousands of wounded troops since 2005.
Last night, during my weekly visits, I was greeted by...our latest laptop recipient, with a quick little dance. I think he even clicked his heels! He is so terribly happy to have received a laptop and is really looking forward to having Joe show him all the in's and outs. You made this Sergeant-Major, who has served faithfully for 40 years and is as crusty as they come, do a happy dance in the lobby - PRICELESS! - Soldiers' Angel Monica, November 2009
He received it yesterday, fully loaded with a receipt from Best Buy. He was extremely pleased and could not believe that it is brand new with all the bells and whistles – he actually started crying and thanked us over and over. - Bobby Hayden, OEF/OIF Patient Services Advocate

Rabbits have been in Scilly for a long time and the first historical record of a rabbit in Britain was from the Isles of Scilly in 1176.

Two species of mice are found in Scilly; the house mouse and wood mouse.

The lesser white-toothed shrew is not found on the British mainland.

Despite not having the best of reputations, rats are incredibly intelligent allowing them to survive in a variety of environments.
Brown rat, Liz Askins
Introduced to St Mary's in the 1980's, without natural predators hedgehogs have rapidly increased in number.
Danny Cooper
They can be seen feeding at insect rich hot spots all around the islands.
Common Pipistrelle bat, David Mawer
Marine mammals
The Isles of Scilly are visited by a number of marine mammals and is a stronghold for Grey seals.
Common dolphins, Robin Mawer
The list of creatures that don't appear in the Isles of Scilly is almost as interesting as those that are present.
The isolation of Scilly means there are very few mammals to be found - no foxes, weasels, stoats or squirrels. This lack of predators is the reason why many other species thrive especially well, and why so many are extraordinarily bold and unafraid.
There are no Common shrews in Scilly, but there are large numbers of the much rarer Scilly shrew, which may have originally been a stowaway on a ship.

April 6-12, 2015 Things are moving now. Most Importantly, lucky Jupiter is done reflecting and is now ready to move boundlessly into the future. Electric communicator Uranus is making many contacts and the pace of our minds is picking up. Powerful possibilities are tangible. With so much fiery energy crackling through the atmosphere being who you are should be effortless and fun.
Uranus is making contact with the Sun and clever Mercury this week. Ideas are are everywhere. It is possible to be getting glimpses of new more satisfying futures you never thought to think possible. Exciting revolutionary ideas that can drastically change your life for the better are dropping down from the heavens.Yay!
If you are feeling trapped by something you won't likely get through the week without breaking free in some way. Even if it is just to shift your perspective. Your attitude is everything. You are capable of whatever you can imagine for yourself but need to be free enough to make necessary moves in new directions. Are you tied down in someway? Are your friends and loved ones supportive? Are the activities you are engaged in taking you closer to your dreams? It's better if you can think things through now. It is true though, if you don't take the nudge you might just get the shove.
Jupiter is heading forward after being retrograde. Luck and expansion are possible now in much bigger brighter ways than before the retrograde period. Get yourself out there and enjoy life. Revel in the simple things:play, risk, dream. And be like a four year old.- "Hey Look at me". My two little nephews a couple of years apart and each of them are asking for attention every chance they get. Why do we stop? Maybe we all need a little more attention. Seek it now. Show them your stuff.
Venus is moving into Gemini this week- Value is found in all things clever and communicative. You will seek mental stimulation. And you do really need to talk. It will keep the circuits running smoothly. Don't forget, through all your chatter, even if it is deep meaningful chatter, you were given two ears and only one mouth for a reason. Listening is more important than talking.
Luck is easier to access this week. All the right ingredients for powerful new beginnings. You just have to tap into the flow of the things that you choose. Abundance, Love, Wisdom, Health and Happiness. All this is done with a simple intention. Write it out and be prepared to take a chance when it presents itself. Now. Be. You. With all your Heart!


text: WHAT IS FUNERAL INSURANCE? Death is an inevitable experience of life; it's the end of one life and the beginning of another life. However, when you die, you don't know what happens next. There will be invoices associated with your last moments on earth. So, to address these post-life invoice issues, the insurance industry has created a coverage called ''final expense insurance''. It is also commonly known as a burial insurance and most people think it's a bad investment, but as I discuss details … [Read more...]

Former Harvard president and Obama administration official Lawrence Summers spoke about the "culture of comfort" at Harvard and other elite college campuses during an interview with Bill Kristol published on Sunday.
In his "Conversations" series, Kristol sits down for interviews with public figures about a wide variety of issues. Kristol and Summers devoted a portion of their conversation to the rash of left-wing protests in 2015 at prominent colleges like Yale, Missouri, and Oberlin.
While president of Harvard, Summers opposed a faculty movement pushing for divestment from Israel and also sought to return ROTC to Harvard's campus, according to Mosaic.
Kristol asked what sensitive issue caused him the most grief while at Harvard.
"They all seemed very important to me," Summers said of the issues he took on.
"Grade inflation seemed very important to me. The culture question, the culture of comfort seemed very important to me. Questions like the university's estrangement from people who wear uniforms seemed very important to me, and I think the collectivity in a community that was committed to a certain way of doing things, and a community that did not lack for self-regard and thought of its president more as a cheerleader than as a social critic, led to the very substantial tensions that I had with members of the faculty."
President Obama criticized the culture of political correctness that had taken over the left wing of his party last year, after a number of high-profile incidents where students sought to insulate themselves from ideas they found harmful. Of particular note, students at the University of Michigan tried to stop American Sniper from being shown on campus, a student at Yale was reduced to profane hysterics over Halloween costumes, a Missouri professor called for "muscle" to oust a student reporter from covering a protest, and students at a number of major colleges and universities released lists of "demands" to limit free speech and make amends for perceived injustices.
The full interview is below.

|about me, introvert i am, technology
Have an invite; if it's new and shiny, chances are ZviLikesTV will know about it, and I'll get an invite or poke or nudge or something. The thing is though? I'm still an introvert, even online. And right now I can't even read the info properly for Google+ because they mention circles and keep wanting me to add people and it all just seems like a crazy, jangly, extroverted, privacy abridged, constant online chat or something. And as socially repugnant to me as walking into a room of extroverted people who'll want to touch me, and talk in my face and breathe my air and tell me to smile.
No. Just. NO!
I like absolute control of my environment. I like choosing who I'll talk to and when (block or no block). I like the thought of having my virtual front door open - but I have ABSOLUTELY hand picked the neighbours. Or rather to be less Americana; some people live on my street, some people have an invite to my front courtyard, some people have an invite to my back courtyard and a few, very few people get to step foot inside the house.
Plus all the 'PUT YOUR LIFE ONLINE! TOGETHERNESS! SOCIAL NETWORK! WOOT!' Makes me want to punch someone in the mouth. With a boxing glove. Filled with lead. That's on fire! There's this immediate assumption that all such tools must be used by everyone, all the time, at the same time. Isn't the world already too barbed wire fluxing as it is with points of attention jabbing everywhere? I mean, I have to physically restrain myself from leaving the bloody bathroom to answer the phone - just because I can hear it ringing. As if I don't have the right to not want to talk to anyone, or having anyone else's life intrude into mine. OMG it's my phone! (Though, less with the landline and more w/ the cellphone! OMG it's the cell! It must be important! Let me run outside without stopping to wipe my be- WAIT A MINUTE. WTF Brain?!)
As it is, sometimes I can't even handle being online (open door/chat programs) at all. I'm feeling too fragile, or anti-social, or a need to hermit, or socially bruised and/or over-taxed.
So yeah, I'll be over here. In the quiet, slow lane, missing the days when email alone was the best thing ever - because LONG LETTERS and NO POSTAGE (or waiting in line for stamps).

Military occupational specialty codes for enlisted personnel in the U.S. Army include air traffic controller, cargo specialist, ground surveillance systems operator, multiple launch rocket system repairer and satellite/microwave systems chief. Occupational specialties or Army jobs cover a wide range of positions, including animal care specialist, bassoon player, diver and chaplain.
Within the occupational specialty of air traffic controller operator there are four skill levels with increasingly broad responsibilities. This MOS has a very heavy physical demands rating and qualifications and prerequisites include normal color vision, ability to clearly enunciate English using a two-way radio, and no prior alcohol or drug abuse diagnoses. The satellite/microwave systems chief MOS requires a security level denoted as SECRET and formal training through the Army Signal School. The bassoon player occupational specialty is part of the Army's Adjutant General's Corps and offers progression through five skill levels. There are approximately 190 occupational specialties available to qualified Army enlisted personnel.
To identify an enlistee's qualifications and match them with the appropriate MOS, the Army converts each enlistee's score on the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, a test required prior to enlistment, to ten composite scores. These composite areas are clerical, combat, electronics, field artillery, general maintenance, general technical, mechanical maintenance, operators and food, surveillance and communications and skilled technical.

AFTER two days of showing a liking for the back nine, Matt Fitzpatrick turned his affections to the outward nine at Fanling and lies tied fourth going into the final round of the UBS Hong Kong Open.
The Sheffielder had harvested eight birdies on the inward stretch - four each day - on his way to successive 67s.
In round three he carded four birdies reaching the turn in 30 and handed in a 66, coming home in level par with one birdie and one bogey.
While he stands five shots off the lead held jointly by his fellow Englishman Justin Rose and Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard, it is testament to both his skill and application that he is so high on the leaderboard just a fortnight after his first European Tour win.
Fitzpatrick took a week off after claiming the British Masters title, but neither this nor the long journey to Hong Kong seem to have dulled his competitive edge as he looks to push his way up the world rankings from his current position of 61.
World No 7 Rose and Bjerregaard staged a thrilling third-round duel.
Rose began the day with a one-shot lead and carded two eagles and two birdies in a flawless 64, but saw playing partner Bjerregaard go one better with a 63 marred only by a bogey on the 18th.
This left the pair on 15 under par at Hong Kong Golf Club and four shots clear of Anirban Lahiri, with Lahiri's fellow Indian Jeev Milkha Singh and Fitzpatrick a shot further back.
Ian Poulter, who made a last-minute journey from Orlando to play this week and maintain his European Tour membership, saw his chances of victory disappear with three bogeys in his last five holes for a 73, which left him 11 shots off the pace.
Rose, who started the day nine under after rounds of 65 and 66, hit a wild drive on the first hole and could only punch his second shot through the trees onto the fairway, but pitched to 15 feet and holed the putt for par.
The 35-year-old then left his birdie putt on the next three feet short, but made amends on the par-5 third with a drive of more than 350 yards and an excellent approach setting up an eagle chance he converted from 25 feet.
That took the Ryder Cup star to 11 under par and briefly into a two-shot lead until Bjerregaard, who had birdied the third, also picked up a shot on the fourth.
Bjerregaard moved into a share of the lead after a tap-in birdie on the sixth and matched Rose's birdie on the 10th, the former US Open champion having driven the green on the 280-yard par-4 with a three wood and two-putting for the simplest of birdies.
Further birdies on the 11th and 12th took Bjerregaard two clear and the 24-year-old made it four in a row on the par-5 13th, but still saw his lead cut in half as Rose holed from 50 feet for his second eagle of the day.
Rose then holed from five feet for birdie on the 14th before Bjerregaard retook the lead on the 16th, only to drop his only shot of the day on the last after his approach ran up against the collar of rough at the back of the green.
Pre-tournament favourite Rose was impressed by Bjerregaard but also by his own ability to save par at some crucial points during the round.
"Lucas played unbelievable golf today," Rose said. "I actually didn't know much about his game and he can really play.
"I hung with him and what impressed me was the couple of par saves that I had to make. I didn't play the first hole particularly well but made a nice 15ft putt for par there and then eagling the third kind of got me up and running.
"It was just a really fun day playing with Lucas and flip-flopping birdies and eagles and really stretching away from the field."
Lahiri, who has already won twice this season and was fifth in the US PGA Championship, birdied five of his last nine holes to edge ahead of Fitzpatrick, his closest rival to be named European Tour rookie of the year.

. If you don't know your car's MPG, just write down the kind of car it is.
Enter your results
right here in one week.
Can you drive fewer miles next week?
Here's how you figure out your car's actual miles per gallon (MPG):
When you fill up the tank, write down the number of miles on the odometer.
The next time you fill up the tank, write down the number of miles that are on the odometer this time.
Write down how many gallons of gas went into the tank too. (This number will be on the gas pump.)
Subtract the number of miles at the first fill-up from the number of miles at the second fill-up. This is how many miles you drove between filling the tank.
Divide the number of miles you drove by the gallons of gas you put into the tank the second time you filled-up.
The number you end up with is the number of miles your car drove on a gallon of gas: your car's miles per gallon or MPG.

Pickerington Local School District Superintendent Rob Walker posted a letter on the district's website this week stating the district is reviewing security policies in the wake of the deadly school shootings in Connecticut.
Pickerington Local School District Superintendent Rob Walker posted a letter on the district's website this week stating the district is reviewing security policies in the wake of the deadly school shootings in Connecticut.
Monday, Dec. 17, Walker posted the letter on the district's website expressing sorrow for the loss of lives Friday, Dec. 14, following a mass school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
In the letter, Walker said the district would "... continue our pursuit of additional security procedures to work closely with our police, sheriff and law enforcement officials."
He also noted Pickerington schools use the services of a national school safety hotline, and encouraged anyone who has information about impending or ongoing "... wrongdoings or illegal activity ..." related to local schools to contact the hotline via telephone or the Internet.
Calls to the district office requesting information about any programs, counseling or procedures to help address the killings with students, staff and parents and to enhance school building security in the wake of the shootings were not returned Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 17 and 18.
Walker's letter, titled "School Safety in the Wake of Newtown, Conn." stated:
"Our hearts go out to the families, community, and school personnel in Newtown, Conn. What took place on Friday is unimaginable. As a parent, I can't imagine the grief they are feeling. As a school administrator, I hope nothing like this ever happens in our district or any other district in the future. We will keep everyone in Newtown in our thoughts and prayers.
"Here at home in Pickerington, we will continue to make student and staff safety paramount. We are very fortunate to have new and renovated buildings that are designed for student and staff safety. We will continue to be vigilant in focusing upon prevention, preparedness, and readiness to keep everyone as safe as possible as we move forward.
"We know that we are responsible for your most prized possession, your children. As we all know, statistics indicate that having your child at school is safe and is growing safer however we will continue to incorporate the best strategies to ensure the well-being of your child and our staff.
"We will also continue our pursuit of additional security procedures while continuing to work closely with our local police, sheriff, and law enforcement officials. School safety also depends heavily upon insight and input from our students, friends, and family. Everyone can play a vital role in making our schools safe by contacting school and law enforcement officials to make them aware of any potential danger that threatens our schools.
"Pickerington Local School District utilizes the services of a national school safety hotline; Safe School Helpline to report any potential danger/wrongdoing in any of the Pickerington Schools Safe Schools Helpline's purpose is to promote school safety and report wrongdoings or illegal activity. It can be reached by phone at 1-800-418-6423 or via the Internet at www.safeschoolhelpline.com
"As we all mourn the tragic losses in Connecticut, let us all draw closer together as a school community to offer our thoughts and prayers to those grieving while continuing to make our schools a safe place for our children and staff."

Hi I'm Charles
I'm a father. I'm a computer geek. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I'm a husband and father of a young family. I work full time and am going to night school. My profession is computer security. I like to use and contribute to open source. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, motorcycle riding, camping, fishing, target shooting, etc.
Why I am a Mormon
Through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I am able to learn and strive to live the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Seeking to live the gospel has brought me great joy that I could never obtain on my own. Studying the gospel has taught me my purpose here on earth, how to repent, and given me hope of eternal life. I've learned that my family is my most important pursuit and greatest source of joy. Responsibilities in the Church have given me opportunities to serve and grow.
How I live my faith
I pray and study the gospel daily so I can remain close to God and his Spirit. I try to keep the commandments. I work hard and I spend quality time with my family. I worship at the temple regularly. I lead efforts in our congregation to visit and care for the older families, including widows.

Quick Reference
Ballet company, based at the Monte Carlo Opera, founded by René Blum in 1936 following his split from Colonel de Basil. Massine became artistic director in 1938, at which point the company's name was changed to Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. It continued to perform, erratically, until 1963 after which it was disbanded but in 1985 was revived as Les Ballets de Monte Carlo under the direction of Lacotte and Thesmar, and as the official ballet company of the Principality of Monaco. Its current director Jean-Christophe Maillot (appointed 1993) choreographs many of its ballets but the repertory also includes works by Balanchine, Childs, Forsythe, Duato, Kylián, and Cherkaoui, as well as revivals of ballets from the Diaghilev company. In 2000 it moved into a new base, L'Atelier, and a new home theatre, Le Salle des Princes.

Why Ebay And Paypal Should Be Avoided AT ALL COSTS!
What I am about to tell you is a true story. All the information has been documented on my end and is verifiable with my lawyer.
How it all started
It was a typical day in the office. I was digging through my usual clutter of information when a dropshipping website fell into my lap. Being an entrepreneur, I looked into it. I had tested the idea out before, but it didn't pan out (some Nigerian scammer tried to buy it and pay nothing). I thought I could try it out again and see what became of it, perhaps the whole Nigerian scammer picture was out of the issue now that Ebay had "toughened" security.
I signed up, found a product to list on Ebay and put up the auction. Everything went on as normal.
Things are looking up
People started visiting the auction I had listed, and began bidding. The price started rising and I felt confident that it would go well. That's when I should've cut off the auction. I didn't listen to my gut.
The price eventually landed to within $50 of the retail price of the product I was selling, then the auction ended. The auction sold and soon after I noticed the payment in my paypal account. At this point, I was running around with joy because nothing was going wrong! It was a good day in my book, little did I know of the doom hanging on the horizon.
After The Sale
The payment was pending in my account until Paypal had notification of my shipping number. Ok, no problem I thought. I went through the checkout process with the dropshipping company and eagerly awaited the shipping number they would send me. The auction sold on a Friday, so I expected at least a couple days until they could supply me with the number. I contacted the buyer so that they were aware of this as well.
Paypal Saves The Day
Sunday. Two days after the auction. Doom struck, but not from who you may expect. I was going about my usual day when I noticed an email from Paypal. The email said,
A review of recent transactions indicates that you might have received a
payment that the PayPal account holder did not authorize.
We recommend that you not ship the item until our investigation is
complete. If you've already shipped the item, please log in and let us know
where you shipped it.
We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until we complete our
I contacted Paypal regarding this, but they gave me the run around. Within a day my account was closed via an "executive decision" by Paypal because I was too much of a "risk" for them. Too much of a risk?!?! HEY PAYPAL, I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER SINCE YOU FIRST CAME OUT!!! You wanna talk about betrayal, this was it. Great job Paypal, save me from absolutely nothing.
Oh, here's the kicker, the dropshipping order was mixed in with my Paypal account too, so I was out of MY OWN MONEY, they were holding that money as well. I was able to refund the buyer of the item and notify them that I wasn't able to send them the item as Paypal had closed my account for no reason. The buyer understood and agreed with me, so we were fine on that end. Paypal on the other end? Things were just about to get a whole lot hotter.
The Bubble Pops
Ok, so Paypal saw something they didn't like, fine by me. Closing my account and refunding the buyer? I guess it was ok. Not being able to use Paypal ever again for any of my payments? That hurt. Not being able to run my online business and get money for work I've done? That burned. Almost literally. Paypal holding onto MY MONEY for no reason whatsoever??! That was the kicker that did them in.
I snapped. At that time, I was in Oklahoma City for some TESOL training for a trip I would be taking to Taiwan within the month. My life virtually came to a halt and this problem needed to be fixed immediately.
I called Paypal up and tried to fix it on my own. Paypal's response to my plea? "You're too much of a risk." "We don't know what is going on" (when I verbaitum explained my side of the story). "That money in your account is not your money, we have to hold on to it in case there are "any refunds" (whatever the heck that means)." "We can't change anything, that's our policy."
Then I brought in the big guns. I brought my parents into this and we spent the next hour on the phone with a "manager" of Paypal customer service. It got heated pretty fast. Paypal did the classic balking maneuver and hid behind their "policies etched into marble". This was gross what Paypal was doing to an honest person with an honest problem and we would not stand for it. The call ended as follows,
Us: This is the last straw, I have done nothing wrong. Since you seem to be incapable of anything remotely close to customer service and there is no one we can talk to directly to solve this problem, we are going to take legal action. I am going to call my lawyer as soon as this call ends. See you in court.
Them: …[click]…
Us: [Hung up and dialed the lawyer]
I also brought my bank into this whole problem and reported the charge on my account as fraud. My bank went to work immediately. From talking to the bank, we heard of some other horror stories like ours with Paypal as well.
The Aftermath
We searched online for some answers while awaiting a response from our lawyer, who was going to look into some cases for us, and found some websites (About Paypal). The stories we read made us realize we weren't alone, Paypal had screwed thousands of normal, honest, hard-working people as well. This wasn't the first time and most definitely wouldn't be the last of Paypal's stunts. Read some here. Here are some more stories.
Luckily our bank pulled through on us and we got the money back into our account within the week. How did Paypal respond to a big bank sitting on them? Here's their email response:
You recently attempted to transfer funds from your bank account to your PayPal account.
Your bank declined the funds transfer on Jul. 23, 2010.
While this transaction had already been identified as unauthorized, the payment process was already underway and could not be stopped. If you have any questions about why this transfer was declined, please contact your bank.
Classic. Turn tail and run away like the wimps you are. Pretend there is nothing wrong and that the "bank" was the problem. Also notice how the "payment was underway and could not be stopped" when I had repeatedly hammered them about returning MY MONEY back to me until I pulled my bank into this situation.
What I've Learned
Don't ever, EVER trust Paypal (or eBay for that matter). Everything that I had linked in my Paypal account has been deleted. They will never have access to any of my financial information or accounts. They have betrayed my trust for the last time. I am done with Paypal forever. If they want to see me ever again, it will be in the courtroom in front of a judge. Paypal has a stinking dung heap worth of sins to atone for, I'm just one of their many horror stories. I may just be the spear that pricks the armor and unleashes the flood, but so be it. Paypal needs to be held responsible for this until they have atoned for what they have done. Get this, according to Paypal policies,
We can close your account at any time and for any reason whatsoever.
Whatever money you have in your account when we close it is ours.
We can hold that money for up to six months and there is nothing you can do about it.
Any access to your financial accounts is permanent, and we can charge it at anytime.
Think I'm lying? Go check the policies for yourself. Wanna get scared out of your freaking mind about how much power they wield over you? Go ahead and read the policies and listen to the stories. After you return to your body, I can guarantee you will disconnect everything from Paypal and run to the hills. That is my hope after telling you my tale.
Want to know the even scarier part? Paypal is responsible for 70% if not 80% of all sales on the internet.
For Paypal
Paypal, if you are even listening and if you even CARE, know this. You have betrayed my trust and thousands of others as well. Your efforts to quell the "Nigerian scammers" isn't working. It is hitting loyal customers and evangelists who have had accounts with you for years.
Because of that, I will NEVER. EVER. EVER. use, recommend, or listen to anything you have to say for the rest of your miserable existence as a company.
Your customer service is the worst I've ever had.
Communication between departments is a failure.
Hiding behind your "policies" is a failed excuse at showing that you care. Your policies are only for the good of your employees and board of directors, ensuring that you get "your" money.
If you truly CARED about your customers, you would move heaven and earth to make sure they have what they need and do everything in your power to rectify their problem, even if that means going outside of your bounds *ahem* policies *ahem*.
But because of that, I will not be satisfied until every single brick of your pathetic excuse of a company is torn down, examined, and BURNED.
I will see you in court.
What About You?
How should you respond to this relentless hammering of a company?
If I were you, and had half a brain to take action, I would close my account with Paypal immediately and look for someone else to use.
I'd also leave a comment thanking the author who wrote this article for enduring hellfire for no reason and for telling his story for the world to hear.
Finally, I'd share this article with my friends and encourage them to do the same.

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't been involved in this whole situation. The problem is that Paypal doens't have to obey any banking regulations. There really are no laws to govern what they do. So Paypal does whatever they want to do. In the meantime they are freezing accounts and literally taking other people's money right from under their noses. And you wondered how they made any money . . .
October 8, 2010
well we just found out paypal took 500 dollars out of our account 22.50 for a transfer and we havent even used ebay or paypal in over a year they told us they thought the transfer looked fraudulent but did it anyway and now to get my money back ..we need to wait why should I wait you took the money we never asked for the transfer and they wont even tell us where the transfer went so I am out all this money and they sit back and do nothing.. beware of paypal they have your banks info they do what they want …

I found an email of a VP level executive and email them directly. Within 24 hours, I got a call from the head of customer services and got my funds returned and account reinstated.
Do a google search for "Cryptome and my experiences with Paypal"
The email address I had sent to is [email protected]
My email
Dear Mr Muller,
I am very disappointed on how Paypal is treating it's customers. I have read many horrors stories based on my research on funds being held. I too have recently experienced two instances where my funds are frozen. Right now, I am considering cancelling my account similar to a few vocal fans of Cryptome.
I hope Paypal will enhance it's seller protection in the near future. The current policy protects the buyer at the expense of the seller.
If you can please help with obtaining why my fund was frozen, I would greatly appreciated. I don't really care about the xxx dollars that is held, but I am more concerned about the lack of reason that was given.
I spoke with a supervisor on the phone today, and he wasn't able to explain to me why my account balances are frozen.

A client of mine, who has a golf shop, was doing quite a bit of business on e-bay. He added cigars to his catalogue, because cigars and golf go well together. It wasn't a primary part of his business, just something to toss in with an order.
Someone bought ONE cigar from him, and Paypal notified him that his account was now closed, because they prohibited tobacco products. He told them he was unaware of that policy, and removed the cigars from his site. Too bad. They refused to give him his account back. His e-bay business became a bust – without paypay you might as well tell your customers you will only accept payments in krugerrands. It took him a year and a half to get his account back. He lost tens of thousands of dollars in business as a result.
I recently tried to buy some e-cigarette supplies on line, and found that paypal wouldn't allow me to use MY money to buy them with their "service." A month before I placed a large cigar order on line from a well known cigar site and they had a link to paypal. The sale went though with no trouble.
A couple of years ago I made a $35 purchase at DragonCon using my PayPal credit card. A few minutes later I received a notice of fraudulent activity on my account. I called them, and explained that it was a valid purchase. That wasn't enough for them. I had to immediately log on and jump through all kinds of hoops to get my account back. It took me over an hour. Here I was, at a convention, looking to have a blast at the zillions of things offered, and I had to sit in my hotel room and wrestle with their nonsense. I never used that card again.
I still have my account with them, because it's an easy way for people to give me money, but whenever the balance goes over $50 I make it a point to spend it immediately, or transfer it to a different account. They are too untrustworthy to keep any substantial sums in there.

Same thing happened to me, that's how I found this website, looking for others that might have experienced some issues with them…..But whose a good online merchant?
August 20, 2013
This was really a shocking write-up and I think this incident happened to you on eBay and PayPal services are really unfortunate. The security for payment must be ensured before providing your banking details is the only method to defend these online forgeries. buy stretchy magic

Thats exactly how they do it.This isn't a one time problem either, You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your opinion. Thanks! http://www.africanewswire.net/

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't been engaged in this whole scenario. The issue is that Pay pal doens't have to follow any financial rules.
January 19, 2014
Thanks for letting know why Ebay and PayPal should be avoided at all cost. Although I was thinking these platforms are great for online business process and but from now on I'll look out for good alternatives of these scam dropshippings.
January 20, 2014
Hey Taylor, I'm sorry as I'm posting my comment too late. But your post is still effective. I tried contacting PayPal several times but never get a response. When they write back, the reply is just limited to a line or two and that never solves the issue. Your recommendation to avoid PayPal is great but it is a fact that PayPal is unbeatable and all alternatives fail to eliminate its need. I recently wrote an article on PayPal alternatives after reading your post, but the badness is, users aren't switching to other services in large numbers 🙁

Thanks for the info Taylor! Yeah, I had to wait 180 days to get my $10,000 from PayPal from

My Paypal experience is preety bad,i am a approved Paypal merchant(merchant account) and i sell digital goods with my website.Recent years,Paypal favours the buyers to their refund claims so i got all my sales into vain,now i have stopped selling digital goods through Paypal.And their currency ratio is seems to be tricky i have frequently cheated by low margin conversions that made me sick.

Your PayPal account was Permanently limited and closed?
Even if you open another account, it will be Permanently closed and limited again! Because PayPal knows it's you! I CAN HELP! I have step by step information with full instructions on what to do in order to open a new PayPal account without having it to become limited or closed again!

About the ProductDebuted in September 2011 as part of Bernhardt Design's contract furniture line, Apel is a family of ottomans born out of a desire to support and maximize the organic and spontaneous interactions between people. Stylistically versatile, highly customizable, and adaptable to a multitude of commercial and residential environments, Apel can be grouped and configured into various "clusters", with landscape formats serving as hubs or "planets" and small formats with optional casters as mobile "satellites". The line's modular and multi-directional nature encourages an unusually broad range of human interactions in various contexts all in a relaxed, contemporary form.
The BrandMore about this Brand
Orphaned at 13, John Bernhardt jumped a box-car to Oregon hoping to become a government surveyor. He returned home three years later to pursue a career as a timber cutter. After buying a sawmill he saw the opportunity to use timber to make solid oak bedroom furniture. Pretty soon folks in Chicago and New York City started buying this furniture for their homes. And so in 1889 the Bernhardt Furniture Company was born in North Carolina. Berhardt's skill was in leveraging the area's plentiful supply of beautiful timbers, and local woodworking skills. Never one to do things by halves, he opened his factory with 25 employees.

I want you to reflect on your position in society. How much of it is random, deterministic?
It is only random in terms of chances of conception. But you, the person you became randomly biologically, after conception is actually significantly determined by who your parents are, who they know, the country you will be born in, your family's socio-economic status, the country's laws and policies. We have free choice, but our opportunities are limited by whatever set of circumstances we are born into. Societal structure dictates how you will be treated and even your life expectancy. It's scary to think that one random event, one you have no choice of the matter in, can determine the general direction your life will take. As decent human beings in good faith, we should strive to treat everyone as equally as possible. No matter how much we want to escape from being the same thing, a collective empathy is needed in how we treat each other. We should not take advantage of our positions in society, but strive to give everyone the same respect and treatment that all human beings deserve.
We need to find a system that works and integrates all of us. We can do it.
Ideally, would citizenship be abolished? Could countries offer the same services to it's citizens while retaining seperate cultures?

This certainly was the case for Music with Motion, an Adelaide Fringe show produced and performed by the Woodville Concert Band at Woodville Town Hall.
I'll certainly be keeping a keen eye on what else the Woodville Concert Band has planned for the future."

Hiya loves!♥
Hope you have all had a fabulous start to the week! Mine has been VERY busy and fun .. but VERY tiring. On Monday – I got up at 4:30AM for a 5 hour coach journey to London – SO tiring but I literally loved every minute of it! I am sure you all know that I went to my first big blogging event yesterday – which you will hear ALL about later on this week lovelies.. so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for that!
I am so excited for this post – because it is definitely something that is SO personal and applicable to me, and I know SO many of you have to deal with this too – and that is… Keeping up a blog whilst having a full time job!
Now.. there are two different views that non-bloggers have of us bloggers – and they are.. "Oh, how hard can it be to take a few photos and write a few lines about make-up/clothes" – which I am sure we all know is SO NOT THE CASE.. and this comment can be SO annoying to hear haha! Then we have another.. "Wow.. how on earth do you have time to have a blog with a job etc..".. this is definitely the question SO many people ask me! So.. perfect opportunity for a post right…… Oh come on let's be serious ANY opportunity is perfect for a post hehe!
So.. I have been blogging for over 6 months now and usually aim for 3 posts a week… I work full time 8-5, Monday to Friday.. and think I have built up a few tips to ensure I make the most of my time – which means I am always SO happy with every single post I put up… and most importantly, that I enjoy every moment of blogging SO much!
Know Your Priorities♥
Obviously when you have a job.. you need to completely RULE OUT the hours you are at work and know that your time/mind must ALWAYS be in work mode. At the end of the day loves.. your job is what pays the majority of bills so work must ALWAYS come first… I know it is SO hard but make sure you have your head in the right place whilst at work, and NOT thinking about those beautiful shoes you picked up in the Topshop sale that are just WAITING to be pictured in your next outfit post. I know the struggle girls… but don't worry – we will talk about making the most of our free time for our blog soon!
Wow.. I cannot even express to you all the IMPORTANCE of planning. I find it helps to have a "Blogging Journal" – this is my little life-saver when it comes to noting down what posts I am going to write and WHEN I am writing them/scheduling them etc. Unfortunately for us working girlies.. we cannot always think of a post and start writing it straight away.. (boo!!).. SO this is why planning is SO important. Personally, I make a note of the titles of my posts a week ahead, so I always know what I am writing for that week. I used to have a schedule for specific days and what I would post.. however this was a FAIL (haha!).. so now I just blog about whatever I want and put it up on whatever day I want! As long as I know what I am writing for the week – I am good to go!
Make The Most Of Weekends♥
One thing that I ALWAYS do on weekends is take ALL my photos for the week ahead.. as we all know the struggles of taking pictures in RUBBISH lighting right? I like to set aside a few hours, get together all my products/blog props, find a GOOD spot and take pictures to my hearts content! ALL my outfit pictures are taken on the weekend too and I normally like to take two OOTD pictures in one go! I know SO many of you are aware of how TIME CONSUMING taking photos can be – so knowing that I have 3-4 lots of pictures ALWAYS helps when blogging! ALSO.. you can bulk write… however I am yet to do this as I much prefer writing my posts the day before I put them up.. I like my blog posts to feel like they are a conversation between myself and you lovely lot.. so if a post was written a week ago, I don't feel like it has that "personal" touch!. HOWEVER.. it is completely up to you if you like to bulk write…It can definitely save SO much time!
Schedule Tweets♥
This has been an absolute LIFE-SAVER for me… I know I cannot spend my WHOLE day on Twitter.. as much as I would LOVE TO… so I always schedule tweets for when I am busy working away! This just means that all your hard work you put into your post the night before is still being seen by your lovely readers! It also means that you are not GLUED to your phone whilst you are supposed to be working hehe! My favourite programme to use is Buffer.. I definitely recommend it.. it is SO easy!
See Blogging As "Me Time"♥
For me.. my blog is my hobby and I absolutely LOVE coming home after a long day at work and either writing up my post, reading other blogs or editing photos! I see it as "me-time", and I think the second you start seeing blogging as a "hassle" or a "job".. it can start to be stressful and not enjoyable. Literally girlies.. I LOVE sitting down with a cuppa and just spending a few hours in my little blogging bubble! ALSO.. SO many Twitter chats are in the evening.. so you will be able to take part in SO many of these if you want to wind down after a long day at work! They are the BEST way to network with SO many other bloggers.. I LOVE them and have met SO many of my blogging babes through them!
Do NOT Compare Yourself To Full-Time Bloggers♥
Remember – you have other priorities that take up your time on a daily basis – full-time bloggers can use their whole days to put time into their blog/social media/networking.. so you should never compare yourselves to them as there will be quite a difference! HOWEVER.. this is NOT to say your blog cannot be amazing.. OF COURSE IT IS… If you blog because you love it, then your blog will honestly be the best it can be.. regardless of how much time you have to put into it!
It Is OK To Have A Break♥
Don't worry if it sometimes gets all too much.. if you need a break, TAKE IT! No matter how much you love your blog… if you just do not feel like blogging, DON'T DO IT. There is nothing worse than typing up a post you are just not 100% happy with, and feeling "forced" to upload it just for the sake of it. If one day… your job has just left you feeling SO tired.. take some time out. Working full time is tiring loves.. we all need time away from EVERYTHING every now and again. Have a lush bath, eat some chocolate, cry a little if you need to, get some well deserved rest.. and wake up the next morning feeling SASSY and ready to get back onto it!
So loves.. that is how I have managed to keep a blog that I am 100% happy with AND work full time too! Of course.. every blogger is different.. so I am SO open to any more tips any of you have! ALSO.. I know SO many of you are still at Uni/School AND have blogs… so I would love to know any tips you have! I also know there are SO many mummy bloggers who juggle work AND kids.. you are AMAZING.. I would LOVE to know how you manage too!! I really hope this post helped you in SOME way… make sure to let me know what you thought darlings!!
Right then angels… I still have another day off work.. before it is back for Thursday.. and then working from home on Friday… Phew! I am lucky to have had such a chilled out week .. I do SLIGHTLY miss the busy-ness of work though (I know call me crazy ha!). I cannot WAIT to put up my next post loves.. it will be ALL about my trip to London AND about the fabulous Blogger_Hangout event I went to! I will see you there angels?!

Jason, I know we played in different leagues and in a different era BUT...
1) Your top line and top (1st) pair draws the opponent's checkers and shut down pair.
2) Your checkers and 2nd or shut down pair draws their big line.
3) Your 3rd pair plays against their 2nd line, normally on good teams a pretty good offencive line. These guys are average size...that's why they are the second line.
4) Everyone, all D-men face the "Bangers" about once a game cause they only play 6 minutes.
Note: Alex Picard is going to surprise even you...excluding the Punchman, Alexandre is the most powerfull D-man we have and @ 24 years of age he is just maturing into his full size and will start to knock some heads...he is a big tough Picard, he has a standard to live up to.
PS: I know you played with Chara and that scews everything some what but the "Big Z" doesn't play here anymore!

out of curiosity, nik: how do you explain Picard starting as a healthy scratch? I like him too and I think he has big upside, but not many people seem to agree.ReplyDelete
Picard starts game 3 vs the Islanders; CC wants Carkner to play D against the Leafs. The Leaf's kids will give #39 a taste of the SHOW...he will reciprikate with a taste of the "A" but it will be his last game on Defence.

To have vaginal sex. Simple, yes? Well, after about 6 pumps (being the male of course), you shove 4 sticks of dynamite up the woman's vagina. You threated to light them unless given what you want. You then force her on to the roof of a semi, and staple her feet to it while she is standing up. Next, you drive down the highway at approximately 75mph and drive under a bridge that is indeed taller than your semi, but shorter than your semi plus the woman. After the bridge, you insert your ballsack into her decapitated head and wear it around town. You will most likely end up starting a new trend, so you might as well love it now, for in a few months, all the new hipsters will be doing the same thing.
***NOTE: The female population may see a drastic drop.

Even before the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach unveiled an ambitious clean-air plan last week, an international agency that regulates the global shipping industry was considering whether to strengthen outdated emissions standards for cargo vessels -- a move that could significantly improve air quality.
"There should be more stringent standards," said Eivind Vagslid, an environmental official with the International Maritime Organization, which began considering a revision of its 1997 regulations in April. "The levels of the past were set quite leniently to get nations to ratify them and to make them technically achievable."
Over the years, the world fleet of cargo vessels has emerged as a leading source of sulfur oxides, particulates and nitrogen oxides. Many ships emit as much exhaust per day as 12,000 cars.
The emissions have been linked to global warming, respiratory illnesses and premature deaths. In the Los Angeles area, studies show that diesel exhaust from trucks, locomotives, heavy equipment and ships causes cancer and is responsible for 70% of pollution-related health problems and hundreds of deaths every year.

Symptoms of vertigo include a sensation of spinning, tilting or swaying or feelings of unbalance or being pulled in one direction, states WebMD. Other symptoms may include headache, nausea, abnormal eye movements, sweating and ringing in the ears.
Individuals often experience vertigo symptoms upon moving the position of the head, according to WebMD. They may last from several minutes to several hours, or they may come and go intermittently. Some people with vertigo feel as if they are spinning or that the environment around them is spinning. This sensation may occur even when the person is perfectly still and may be similar to the induced vertigo people experience when they stand still after spinning in circles for some time, explains MedicineNet. In rare instances, vertigo may last several days before resolving.
Vertigo normally occurs as a result of an inner ear problem such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere's disease and vestibular neuritis, states WebMD. Less common causes include head or neck injuries, ear damage from certain medications, migraine headaches, or brain problems such as tumor and stroke. Treatment is generally focused on the underlying condition, and vertigo often goes away on its own as the body adapts to inner ear changes.

Starting off, everything looked bright for the Eagles, heading into the 2013-14 NFL season. New coach, meaning new offense, 4th overall pick, Lane Johnson, shoring up the shaky offensive line and just a fresh start from last season's disastrous performance.
Unfortunately, during the early part of training camp, during one of the Eagles non-contact practices, Jeremy Maclin tore his ACL. In the 7-7 drills, Maclin tore it and was on the ground for several minutes, while the medical staff attended to his right leg. Shortly after, he needed to be assisted to a motorized cart.
On Twitter, mounds of tweets in support of Maclin were showered by Eagles fans and from other players. In response, Maclin tweeted:
As it is quite obvious, Jeremy Maclin's 2013-14 campaign is over and the best thing for him to do is to fully recover and prepare to try and have his 1st 1,000 yard season of his short career or an Adrian Peterson-esque comeback season for 2014-15. Hopefully he can regain his old 2010 form, where he hauled in 70 receptions for 964 yards and 10 TD's, all of them being career highs, even after the ACL tear.
Expectations for Maclin in Chip Kelly's high octane offense were at least 70 receptions, 1,000 yards receiving and 7 or so TD's for the 2013-14 season but after this serious knee injury, is expectations for the following season are closer to his career averages of 65 catches, 863 yards and 6 or 7 TD's.
The Eagles were predicted to challenge for the NFC East title as top team by many this season with the Dallas Cowboys knack for losing leads, the New York Giants tendency to be inconsistent and the Washington Redskins franchise QB, RGlll starting the season on the disabled list and a possible sophomore slump for Griffin and Alfred Morris. However, with Maclin out for the upcoming season, the Eagles expectations go down, not drastically but not slightly either. Maclin being out for the 2013-14 season, causes Desean Jackson to be focused on, hindering his expectations as well. Also, the running game isn't going to be as well as advertised, even with the improved O-Line, as more attention is going to be focused on Lesean McCoy. As the O-Line has improved for the Eagles with the addition of 1st-Round selection, Lane Johnson, and the return of Jason Peters from a torn Achilles, the receiving corpse has suffered a huge blow Jeremy Maclin's torn ACL.
Whoever wins the QB competition in Philadelphia, Michael Vick, Nick Foles or even Matt Barkley, is going to have a tough time advancing the ball.
Good Luck, Philadelphia Eagles and best wishes for Jeremy Maclin's recovery from a torn ACL.

Best boquet EVER
My mom and grandma and brother all give me plant cuttings whenever I visit. Sometimes it's a plant I know and love, sometimes it's a mystery plant. Last time I was home all three of them gave me and Jasper cuttings of this kind of plant, which I've always loved because the stems or spines or fingers or whatever of the plant are soft as a kitten. I had just forgotten until my brother reminded me that the flowers smell like rotting meat because they're from South Africa and they're pollinated by flies. Soooooo awesome. Jasper sent me the above link because he couldn't stand not knowing their name after finally finding a flower he could love. Here is a Google search about stinking flowers. I really love the Stapelia gigantea simply because I have several, but among the others I can't decide if my favorite is Dead Horse Arum or Stinking Corpse Lily. E-mail me if you live in Austin and want a cutting of S. gigantea when I separate them in the spring.

Let's rewind to the beginning of the summer. We were blessed and humbled to have so many people praying with us and donating financially to Yasmin. If you're new to this story check out the links here and here. When we met Yasmin she was 11 pounds and 17 months old, emaciated and severely sick suffering from a cleft pallet condition, fluid in her brain and lungs and anemia. A wonderful doctor named Wendy donated over 50 lbs of Pediasure and formula to help get Yasmin's weight up, which was the main reason she was denied the cleft pallet surgery. We met with the Dominican doctor in June, gave Yasmin's mom the Pediasure and a nutrition plan.
A month and a half flew by, and soon Dr. Wendy would be in the D.R. with her church facilitating a medical clinic in two impoverished communities. The day arrived and I drove to Alan's mom's house where I would pick up Yasmin and her mom and we would drive to the clinic to see Dr. Wendy. Shortly after I arrived, I was in tears. Yasmin was fat! And scooting across the ground! Smiling! Waving hi! Her eyes, which always seemed to be glossed over and cloudy were bright. I watched her eyes twinkle at me and at my girls.
Yasmin's mom didn't meet me there. She's pregnant with her third child and had an opportunity to earn money at a lottery/gambling bank. In her place was her mom (Yasmin's grandma). I learned more in my drive with grandma and Yasmin that I had in all of my previous visits. Yasmin was born at 7 months old. She stayed in the hospital for two weeks. She had many problems at birth, but "she is a fighter," professed Grandma. On we drove.
At the clinic there was a joyful introduction of Dr. Wendy meeting Yasmin! We sat down and caught up Dr. Wendy on Yasmin's progress. We all marveled at how plump her belly was getting. Soon, she would begin developing muscle mass! Muscle mass= cleft pallet surgery! Things were progressing along. And then Grandma said she wanted Dr. Wendy to take a look at Yasmin's back. It was completely lopsided. The left side was raised and puffed out, while the right side was flat. Dr. Wendy immediately diagnosed it as congenital scoliosis. It would be difficult for Yasmin to walk without a brace in a couple of years. I was frustrated that this was the first time anyone had mentioned her back, but what caught my eye and the Dr.'s eye even more is this swirly skin pattern on her back. It was like looking at a Nasa weather map of a hurricane on her back. Two colors swirled together. Dr. Wendy called her husband over immediately who is also a doctor. They confer, ask me to ask Grandma if Yasmin has ever had seizures. Seizures? What?
The doctors tell me that this skin condition is a sure marker for a neurological condition. Anyone who's been around Yasmin understands that there is something else going on neurologically, but we focused so much on her cleft pallet, things we could treat that it was easier to overlook the bigger issues. Not anymore.
Wendy calmly tells me, if she hasn't had any seizures, she likely will, someday. She will likely not walk, she will likely not be able to take of herself, she will need 24 hour care. She might get the cleft pallet surgery, but never live on her own.
I held back tears and whispered to Wendy that I could not translate that to her grandma. So I didn't. I said what an incredible fighter of a grand-daughter she has. I told her we wouldn't stop fighting on her behalf for the cleft pallet surgery and then we would continue on. We would fight with them each step of the way, one condition at a time.
I took them back to Alan's mom's house and picked up my girls. I held them so tightly and for an instant my girls were Yasmin and I was Carina (Yasmin's mom). There was no difference between me and my girls and Yasmin and Carina. Nothing separates us from the love and joy of our Father and nothing separates us, His people whom He created to delight in. Carina and I, are the same. Yasmin and my babies, the same. I cried most of the short ride from my mother-in-law's house to our own house. I am grateful that Yasmin has her mom and a good grandma to look out after her. There are so many kids who suffer in unimaginable ways here without any care from a parent or anyone to hold them or wipe away their tears. Yasmin has that. Her grandma also has faith and believes that God brought us to her "in such a time as this."
We are committed to Yasmin and her ongoing health care. We are hopeful that she will qualify for her surgery by the end of the year. Please join us in prayer for Yasmin and her family. Grandma was right; this girl is a fighter and we will continue to stand in the gap for this child.
Yasmin 13 months ago
But what can I say?
He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.
I will walk humbly all my years
because of this anguish of my soul.
Lord, by such things men live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.
Surely it was for my benefit
that I suffered such anguish.
In your love you kept me
from the pit of destruction;
you have put all my sins
behind your back.
For the grave cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;
those who go down to the pit
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
The living, the living- they praise you,
as I am doing today;
fathers tell their children
about your faithfulness.
The Lord will save me,
and we will sing with stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
in the temple of the Lord.
Isaiah 38:15-20

A quote on fieldwork
"Fieldwork is not science, it is a craft and an art. The analysis of language can be scientific, but the gathering of language data is no more scientific than botanists tramping through jungles, or geologists clambering along mountainsides."
Linguists, like people in other
I think that a great failure of the American Structuralist school in linguistics was to fetishize science, especially in the form of "discovery procedures". A browse of Zellig Harris's Methods in Structural Linguistics (1951) shows how the process of investigating a language is reduced to a pile of rules. But even Harris admitted that linguists didn't really work that way:
In practice, linguists take unnumbered short cuts and intuitive or heuristic guesses, and keep many problems about a particular language before them at the same time...
Indeed, if linguists didn't take those shortcuts or guesses, then it's very likely that we would all find that languages only varied according to the possibilities inherent in the discovery procedures. Thus the only thing we would discover would be the discovery procedures themselves. That would be boring, as well as uninformative. So why should we go back to that sort of thing again? Why should we have long lists of tests to submit to our informants, laying the language out on the table with probes and scalpels at hand? Instead, like any good field geologist or biologist, tie those shoelaces and start tramping around in the language, looking for things that look odd or out of place. Listen carefully to the rumblings in your gut, because it doesn't always mean that you're hungry.
(I apologise for the stew of metaphors.)

Wild LifeBy: Simon King (author)Paperback
Up to 1 WeekUsually despatched within 1 week
DescriptionEven as a young child, Simon King was passionate about the natural world. Expressed in a variety of ways, from keeping faintly rotting animal parts in his underwear drawer (as a 10-year-old), to making several hundred films about wildlife, his enduring interest in all things wild and free has been a way of, rather than a part of his life. Being savaged by a rabid cheetah, charged at by rhinos and elephants and defecated upon by a long list of birds and other animals may sound like hell to some. But these, along with countless other experiences alongside all things furry, scaly, slimy and feathery have provided him with an enormously rich bank of tales to relive and retell. With his professional life starting aged ten, acting in a television drama called The Fox, (for which he looked after an orphaned fox for two years at home), through projects such as Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Big Cat Diary to name just a few, Simon King has travelled to every continent and lived in extreme conditions from remote desert to Arctic and Antarctic wilderness. With characteristic honesty and charm, Simon King weaves his animal stories amongst encounters with extraordinary people and astonishing places to give us a memoir that will delight readers.
About AuthorSimon King was born in Nairobi, but moved to the UK in 1964 and has been working as a natural history film-maker for almost thirty years. Simon has worked on programmes such as Big Cat Diary and Blue Planet and presents Springwatch and Autumnwatch. He has received EMMY, BAFTA and RTS awards for his work and was awarded the OBE in 2010.

Recently I had a chance to go to the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market in New Milford, CT. It's a great place to find that treasure you've been hunting for and it has recently been gaining a lot of popularity from the HGTV show Flea Market Flip. In fact when I arrived, I wasn't surprised to see Lara Spencer and the crew filming on location that very morning. After a little distraction, my hunt began as my daughter and I worked our way through the aisles. When I go to a flea market I always like to have something in mind to keep me focused. So with my mental list I scan each vendor space and then move in on anything that catches my eye to take a closer look.
During this particular visit, I was thinking lawn art, signs and vintage fabric/linens. I ran across a few items of interest, but didn't purchase anything until I saw this sign. It's perfect for my outdoor patio bar and since the space is not well lit, it functions to improve lighting as well. Flea markets and antique shows like Brimfield Antique Show are a great place to find unique pieces to add to your decor or repurpose to suit your needs. So if you decide to venture out to a flea market in your area, keep these few tips in mind:
1. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing (layers are great).
2. Bring a bag and/or a cart to store your finds.
3. Have a mental list, at the very least, of what you're looking for.
4. Stay hydrated.
5. Bring some cash and checks. (credit cards may be accepted but cash is good for bargaining)
6. Don't be a bully on price, politely ask what is their best price, or offer your best price.
7. Arrive early for the best finds.
With these few tips, an open mind and a positive attitude your hunt for treasure is bound to be a success. Happy hunting!
