Icon in Memory of Bishop David - News
Several parishioners from Oystermouth travelled to St Mary's Priory, Abergavenny, on Saturday 3rd November for the consecration of a new icon of 'The Holy Family' in memory of Bishop David Thomas.
The celebrant was Bishop Richard Fenwick, who spoke warmly about Bishop David's ministry as a respected Welsh theologian, teacher and pastor.
The icon was 'written' by Brother Michael of Mucknell Abbey, an Anglican Benedictine community in Worcester. It was presented to St Mary's Priory by Rosemary and the family.
Bishop David's ministry as Assistant Provincial Bishop was centred at Abergavenny and the icon is a fitting memorial to his ministry as a faithful shepherd.
He was also a much loved member of our Church family in his retirement.

Politics & Government
Put Patients First
MNU President Sandi Mowat issued the following statement to media today in response to the WRHA's implementation of Phase II:
"Nurses are profoundly disappointed that the WRHA is insisting on moving ahead with this reckless cost-cutting plan. We have seen a reduction of services and staffing that has resulted in a deterioration in both access to care and the quality of care that patients receive.
"To date, we've seen the closure of the Mature Women's Health Centre, four Quick Care Clinics, the Misericordia Urgent Care Centre, and the Corydon Primary Care Centre. Victoria hospital has lost vital services including their Emergency room and ICU. At HSC nursing positions including Clinical Nurse Specialists in the Trauma and Burn units, IV specialists, and lactation consultants have been cut.
"Patient acuity at some facilities including Grace Hospital has increased significantly without sufficient staffing to meet patient needs. St. Boniface Hospital saw the deletion of over 1,000 nursing positions, which has led to widespread disruption and an unprecedented reliance on mandatory overtime that continues to be a major problem.
"Remaining emergency rooms are reporting overcrowding and patients being treated in hallways as volumes have spiked beyond predicted levels. Some facilities are no longer replacing the first sick call, meaning patients receive less care while nurses are stretched even thinner.
"Simply put, claiming that these changes will improve patient care belies the government's true motivation to balance their budget on the backs of Manitoba patients, nurses, and health care providers. Nurses are expressing almost universal concern about the cuts and changes to our health care system, and we will continue to speak out."
The following letter went out to MNU members in affected facilities in the WRHA:
Dear member,
After several months of delays, today the WRHA has released their implementation plan for Phase II of their reorganization. The region has provided an overview of their plan, available here. Details from the WRHA's presentation for each affected facility are provided below.
We are profoundly disappointed that the WRHA is insisting on moving ahead with their plan. To date we have seen only a reduction of services and staffing that has resulted in a deterioration in both access to and quality of care that our patients receive. Many nurses across the system are struggling with overcrowding and unmanageable workloads, along with a heavy reliance on overtime to fill the gaps they created.
We will continue to oppose these cuts and changes publicly, we will continue to lobby the government and the region to reconsider this initiative, and we will continue to ensure that your rights are protected and the provisions of your collective agreement are respected.
Though the biggest changes aren't scheduled to be implemented until June 2019, we are told some changes will begin toward the end of 2018.
The employer is required to provide notice 90 days in advance of initiating employment security processes. To date no notice has been provided.
We have been called to a meeting with the region again next week where we expect to receive more information on employment security plans. We will share updates with affected nurses as information is provided to us.
I know this has been a difficult and uncertain process for affected nurses. I share your frustration. Phase I of this plan was rushed, chaotic and very poorly communicated. While the uncertainty seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future, rest assured that we will share reliable information with affected nurses as soon as we have it. If you have questions or concerns in the meantime, I strongly encourage you to connect with your MNU ward representative or local representative.
I would also encourage you to speak out, by wearing a Put Patients First button, wearing white on Wednesdays, and by sending a letter to the Health Minister and your MLA. These may seem like small gestures, but nurses are the most trusted spokespeople in health, and when we unite with a strong message, we can be a powerful force to improve patient care and protect our public health care system.
Finally, I would like to thank all nurses for your commitment to delivering the best possible care to your patients, even in these uncertain times. Your continued dedication and selflessness is an inspiration.

For decades the world that has focused on organ donor heart transplants as the only solution for a failing heart. Organ donor heart transplant lists are long and patients with heart disease often have no time to wait. In addition organ heart donations have dropped over the years and the numbers are declining every year. Yet heart disease is on the rise.
But Cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Willie Koen knows the solution to this, the groundbreaking research that has resulted in this golf ball size mechanical heart device, the Heartware Valve Assist Device (HVAD). It is a small mechanism that is implanted into the patient and serves as a pump for the left heart ventricle.
Pat Featherstone spent six months in ICU with little hope of surviving, until she discovered the HVAD solution. Dr. Koen implanted this lifesaving device at Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town, and within months Pat was back up and running around. She says now she lives an even fuller and more active life than ever.

This article by Jessica Lynn Rabe, appeared in Investment News . It's a thorough evaluation of how millennials see things differently and makes some valuable points about how you might need to change the way you engage millennial clients if you want to succeed with them.
A millennial working in financial services says advisers need to 'comprehensively' change their business models and practices to gain that generation as clients
As a millennial who works in the financial services industry, I can tell you with complete certainty that financial advisers need to comprehensively change their business models and practices if they want to gain and hold individuals in my generation as customers. The dated cost-structures, investment approaches and means of communicating won't work for us like it did for our parents. Our generation has a distinct set of experiences and expectations when it comes to money management; we want a Tesla, and most of you are trying to sell us Pontiacs. And yes, I know they don't make those any more — that's the point.
In order to win business from millennials, financial advisers need to better understand our psyche, our beliefs, our fears and our values. My cohort includes those born between the early 1980s and early 2000s, so we are in our 20s and early 30s. With this demographic backdrop in mind, consider these points:
• College graduates are significantly indebted with student loans. The average person from the Class of 2014 owes $33,000, the most on record. A greater number of students is also borrowing to pay for college – about 70% of bachelor's degrees for last year's graduating class. Educated millennials are focused on paying off student debt and meeting other current financial responsibilities like rent. Persuading them to delay short-term gratification with the little spending money they have for future gains is a tough sell. Google Autofill says it all: type "financial" into Google's search engine, and it autofill's to "aid"… you won't find "adviser" in the top four.
• Millennials are more entrepreneurially focused than prior generations.Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg are our Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. The success of startups launched by millennials has inspired us to find and take similar risks. Consequently, we're typically more interested in investing in our own talents, intelligence or creativity — whether it be buying equipment to create and upload YouTube videos, developing an app or starting our own tech-enabled businesses. Financial advisers need to sell the merits of investing in companies and not just oneself. That's not an easy sale.
• After living through the dot com bubble and 2008 financial crisis, millennials are wary of the capital markets.They witnessed their parents, relatives, friend's parents and friends lose a lot of money — perhaps they even saw the value of their "Bar mitzvah/confirmation money" plummet. I still hear friends lament about how much money their parents lost in the market in 2008. Millennials were also turned off by the greed of money managers that contributed to both crises at the expense of their clients. Additionally, the ensuing Great Recession bred a difficult labor market for graduates and millennials in the early stages of their careers, leaving an overall bad taste in their mouths when it comes to Wall Street in general.
In reality, my friends are more willing to bet on sports than stocks. They're familiar with fantasy sports and think it's fun. Yet when it comes to stocks, they're unwilling to take this risk. Gaining our trust and getting us comfortable and excited about investing in financial securities again or for the first time will be a process.
• Millennials grew up with the shift from active to passive management.They are used to cheap, passive products such as exchange-traded funds, and for the last 6+ years, it's worked. So why pay a high premium for portfolio management? In college, the foundations of my finance courses were rooted in the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which basically suggests that systematically beating the market is impossible. Granted, not every millennial pursues an economics degree, and this theory is by no means bullet proof. But there is academic work supporting either argument. So why pay someone to pick stocks or funds if you can possibly achieve the same results from "a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages," to quote Burton Malkiel's "A Random Walk Down Wall Street."
Those are just a few of the important factors that shape the way millennials think about investing in the capital markets. But don't worry, we aren't a losing battle. Here are five areas of focus that can help advisers capture business from millennials:
1) Education: While baby boomers enjoyed long periods of bull markets in the 80s and 90s, millennials are used to seeing more volatility from the dot-com bubble bursting in 2000 and financial crisis in 2008. As a result, we need more assurance from financial advisers during market downturns. This requires education on diversification to help us mitigate behavioral biases and withstand market volatility. In this way, financial advisers can help millennials stay invested and focus on long-term growth, rather than bailing at cycle lows and hurting their chances of achieving another stream of income.
Advisers should also clearly explain their role, which isn't to time or beat the market, but rather meet short-term and long-term financial goals. Advisers should first focus on millennials' current needs, like learning how to budget and pay off student loans. Then they can offer the prospect of achieving other future hopes, such as saving for a vacation or one day a house. Millennials need something positive to work toward and a guide to tell them how much they should start investing or saving for retirement, for example, but first they need to get out of debt.
2) Transparency: The dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis made millennials timid about investing in the capital markets and skeptical of financial advisers. Hollywood certainly hasn't helped with producing movies from the 1980s classic "Wall Street" to its recent portrayal of greed and deceit in "The Wolf of Wall Street." Entertainment is a powerful influence over millennials since we can consume so much of it relative to prior generations. Big banks and money managers have garnered a stigma of trying to sell complex products, some of which ultimately proved faulty. At the same time, millennials know they need to save for the future, especially to protect themselves from another crisis or recession.
Millennials share pictures and stories about personal events on Facebook, tweet their thoughts and interests daily and follow the lives of friends and celebrities on social media. We are the most transparent generation ever due to technology, and we'd appreciate similar levels of transparency from financial advisers about their business model and investment products. Respecting millennials' intelligence by conducting honest conversations about suitable investment vehicles that are in our best interest will go a long way.
3) Convenience: A smart phone or mobile device makes almost everything accessible in real time from information to entertainment to communication. Want a date? Swipe right. Want to order food? We have an app for that. Want to know what a short sale is? Just type "what is a"… No, really, just those three words. Google will autofill the rest (it's the fourth one down). Similar to these services, an adviser should foster relationships with millennials that are as convenient as possible. Unlike previous generations, millennials are used to on-demand service. Connect with us through our modes of communication, i.e., online or through social media. Also package material and advice in digestible bites with fun, yet informative visuals. Create a friendly website and useful app so we always have access to all our information. Lastly, gamifying our account by showing how close we are to meeting certain goals is even better — we like games and respond to encouragement and incentives. We are the generation in which every player wins a ribbon, after all.
4) Technology: Financial advisers' adoption of new technology signals to millennials they aren't complacent and demonstrates their efforts to reach out to us on our turf. Most individuals from my generation don't want to meet advisers in their stuffy offices — it's intimidating, too structured and requires too much time and energy. Advisers can reach out to millennials on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Blogging is an efficient way to educate us since we are used to that format — sort of like BuzzFeed, our generation's New York Times. And using Skype/FaceTime/screen sharing tools for appointments also helps us avoid an experience similar to going to a dentist or doctor's appointment.
Here's a simple tip: If you host millennials at your office, don't sit behind a desk. Meet with us at a round table — it's more conversational and less like an interview — with a computer and large screen nearby to aid the discussion by way of software tools and visuals. Meeting in familiar territory like a Starbucks is another option — we're less private and more casual than previous generations. Remember, we express ourselves through emojis for everyone to see on social media … These are all just a few examples, but here is the overall message: if advisers fail to explore new ways of evolving their businesses, how do we know if they stay up on new investment trends and products? Are we paying an adviser to just hit "rebalance" every quarter?
5) Fee-based: Millennials are strapped with student debt. It's difficult enough for us to pay our bills, let alone pay for someone to manage the little money we may hold in a bank account — the opportunity cost is rent. When our parents were our age, money managers held physical reports on companies and access to a broad array of stocks was through mutual funds. Now, millennials can purchase cheap ETFs and access free investment information online, so we're not going to pay steep costs for an adviser. We'd rather seek council from a trusted parent or friend — we just don't have the money. Therefore, advisers may find success by charging millennials on an hourly basis for investment advice, and a low percentage on assets under management. Above all, we expect to understand all costs and fees involved upfront.
In sum, here is the pitch: financial advisers can be trustworthy and convenient guides to money management for millennials. This generation wants advisers who can adapt to the needs and constraints that exist at each stage of our lives, while helping prepare us for the future. It's as much the adviser's job to develop suitable cash flow planning and portfolio models as it is to manage our behavioral tendencies. Both require clear explanations and technology.
Just remember #Education #Transparency #Convenience #Technology #Fee-based.

Our Staff
Liz Osborn
Chief Executive Officer
Liz did not always hold the value for life that she does now. As an LPN, Liz worked for an abortion clinic in the early 80's, believing she was helping women. As she began to recognize God speaking to her heart, she found herself whispering to a woman on the abortion table one day, "You don't have to go through with this."
Tragically, Liz had also made her own decision to have an abortion. While dealing with the emotional aftermath of having made that choice, Liz received the forgiveness of Jesus Christ for her own abortion and the countless ones with which she directly assisted during those four years.
After coming to faith in Jesus Christ and receiving His forgiveness, Liz recognized that every life matters to God and every unborn child is worth saving...that He is the Creator of life and that He has a beautiful plan for every life. This revelation drew Liz to serve at Care Net beginning in 1985, first as a volunteer and then as CEO since 1986.
Liz has chosen to be pro-abundant life because being pro-abundant life goes beyond saving the lives of unborn children – as critical as that is.
"We're about rebuilding lives and families. Redemption starts when we give life a foothold – but it doesn't stop there. Children need flourishing families where they can be nurtured toward their full potential. Young parents need to be empowered to build a healthy family and dads are an important part of the equation – to empower them to become the fathers their children need them to be," said Liz.
Liz finds co-laboring with the Lord in the lives of the people He loves the most rewarding part of being invested in Care Net. She loves witnessing God at work in the lives of people...changing hearts and minds and seeing lives saved both physically and eternally.
Liz and her husband, Dan, are part of City Church. In her spare time, Liz enjoys being with her four grandchildren, boating with her family and friends, and exploring God's amazing creation through travel and hiking.

text: Kormakitis, Cyprus - The fitful chirps of birds are the only sounds to break the silence, as Iosif Skordis, a robust 89-year-old with a taste for fuzzy wool caps, unhurriedly takes his usual seat on the narrow balcony outside this decades-old cafe. Turning slightly to his right, he points through an open green door to the handful of men - all in their 60s, at least - huddled around a card game beneath yellowed posters of Catholic popes and Lebanese leaders. "These ones over there, they are the youngest of those of us still living here," Skordis says between sips of coffee, as afternoon breaks in Kormakitis. This tiny hilltop village in the horn of northwestern Cyprus is home to some 100 elderly Maronites, followers of one of the Catholic Church's oldest branches. To be sure, time passes slowly here. But in fact, time is fast running out. "We are headed towards extinction," says Antonis Haji Roussos, 78, sitting just a few metres away, in the shade of well-kept oleander trees. "There is no future for our community," he adds, his voice calm yet imbued with a single, brittle note of emotion. Kormakitis resident Iosif Skordis, 89: "There's nothing like our village, I wouldn't change it for paradise" [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] A winding maze of sloping pathways and brick-and-stone houses, Kormakitis is pinned to the east and west by green rolling plains and idyllic beaches. Although fluent in Greek, its grey-haired inhabitants share news, jokes and thoughts in their indigenous tongue: a unique variety of Arabic heavily influenced by Aramaic, the language of Jesus. They are descendants of Christians who fled to Cyprus from modern-day Syria and Lebanon in four successive waves from the late 7th century onwards. Less than 50 years ago, Kormakitis was home to about 2,000 people. It was the beating heart of the island's small but vibrant Maronite community. But then in 1974, a brief Greece-backed coup prompted a military intervention by Turkish forces, which effectively divided the island between a Turkish Cypriot north and a Greek Cypriot south. The Maronites, who resided in four neighbouring northern villages, suddenly found themselves in the middle of an ethnic conflict that would have a devastating effect on their community. Their ancestral villages, which had for centuries shielded their culture and customs, were instantly seized by the Turkish army. Overnight, about 80 percent of Cyprus' Maronites were uprooted, seeking shelter in the Greek-speaking south. But in Kormakitis, the largest of the villages, hundreds opted to stay behind. They were unharmed by the fighting, but life became increasingly difficult. With work opportunities shrinking and the village's only school shut, many - especially the youth - felt they had no choice but to leave Kormakitis for the more affluent south. Kormakitis is home today to about 100 year-round residents [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] Yet for some, abandoning Kormakitis was never an option. "Where could I have gone?" Skordis asks, without waiting for an answer. "This is where my father was born and died; my mother and siblings, too. I've been a farmer all my life and everything I've done, I've done it here." In the end, some 120 Maronites remained "enclaved" in Kormakitis, living north of a United Nations-controlled no-man's land dividing the Mediterranean island. For decades, before the easing of border restrictions in 2003, the villagers would need to secure special permission to see their displaced loved ones in person. Contact was brief and sporadic. "Life was lonely," recalls 71-year-old Annetta Maurohanna, who has been working at the cafe by the imposing St George Cathedral in the heart of Kormakitis for the past 30 years. "But I didn't want to leave," she adds. "Everyone craves to be at home." Each week, a UN truck would visit the largely cut off villagers to deliver foodstuffs, medicine and other vital supplies. "You'd have to have been here to be able to understand the hardship that we went through," says Skordis, a father of six, pausing to hold back tears. "Three of my daughters sent me messages before their weddings saying they didn't have any money to get married - and I couldn't send them any," he continues. "We suffered a lot, and that's why we now avoid remembering those times, so we don't get upset." Kormakitis resident Annetta Maurohanna, 71: "My village means everything to me - all my life, all my memories" [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] Today, the island's Maronites number an estimated 6,000 people. They are scattered across southern towns and villages, bar the band of elderly farmers, herdsmen and pensioners residing in Kormakitis and a handful of families living in Karpasha, further southeast. Two other nearby Maronite villages - Asomatos and Ayia Marina (a previously mixed Maronite and Turkish Cypriot village) - are empty of their residents and now used by the Turkish army as military bases. About half of the Maronite population is believed to trace its roots back to Kormakitis, and the vast majority of them have been allowed to repair their previously deserted houses. Its residents have ownership rights and can also sell or rent their land, as well as inherit it, but subject to specific conditions. The village comes alive again on weekends and holidays, its square filled with children and its cafes and tavernas overflowing with patrons. The school remains shut, but in the summer children here attend short language camps to learn Cypriot Maronite Arabic (CMA), referred to locally as Sanna. Passed down from generation to generation through everyday conversation, the centuries-old CMA is a variant of Arabic that's rooted in Aramaic but has taken words from Greek, Turkish and Latin. It is classified as a "seriously endangered" language by the Council of Europe, while 10 years ago experts created a written alphabet with the aim of codifying and preserving it. Mysteriously, the ancient dialect is only spoken by Kormakitis natives and not by any others Maronites from the community's other remaining villages. Until 1974, children in Kormakitis would only begin learning Greek in the first grade. "Currently, about 1,000 people speak our language, but they're all aged over 40 and 50," says Mihalis Hadjiroussos, chairman of the Xki Fi Sanna NGO. The group, whose name translates to "Speak Our Language", was set up more than a decade ago to protect and promote CMA through summer camps, afternoon lessons and cultural activities. Mihalis Hadjiroussos, 70: "Cyprus is our homeland and Lebanon is our second homeland" [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] But such revival efforts don't go very far. Following international pressure, the Cypriot government in 2008 recognised CMA as a minority language, but it did not formally incorporate it into the education system. That means that summer camps and afternoon classes aside, many younger Maronites see little use in learning a moribund language - distancing themselves further from their endangered community's identity. "Our chance to survive as a community, and to save our language, is to go back to our villages," says Hadjiroussos, 70, sitting around other elderly Maronites in their community's club in Nicosia, Cyprus's capital. "If 2,000 people go back to the village and stay there then the right conditions will be created for people to speak the language - and for weddings between people from the village to take place." That's at the heart of Maronites' fears over their community's looming extinction. Dispersed among Greek Cypriots and away from their parents' villages, the overwhelming majority of Maronites - an estimated nine out of 10 - marry outside their community. Giorgos Skordis, a 47-year-old actuary, is a rare exception. His wife, Antoinetta, was the last person to be born in Kormakitis, while the couple's wedding in 2008 was the first in the village after 1974. "The community has been almost fully assimilated," says Skordis, in a cafe in Nicosia. "Many, perhaps even most [Maronites], have started feeling like Greeks. Even though they came from Lebanon, spoke Arabic and ethnically they're not Greeks - owing to their schooling, mixed weddings and displacement," he explains. "And the ones who don't feel like that, they're forced to, in a way, because their children and their grandchildren are Greek Cypriots." The "Kormakitis" cafe is a regular meeting spot for Maronites in Nicosia [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] Cyprus is home to one of the world's longest-running frozen conflicts. Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders have long worked towards a deal to reunify the island, but several UN-mediated attempts to reach an agreement have collapsed, often in mutual recrimination, insults and anger. Amid the charged and pervasive reality of a divided Cyprus, smaller communities such as the Maronites feel trapped between two fronts. "Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots have massive differences, and we are the victims of that," says Haji Roussos. He should know. As a non-voting representative of the Maronite community in Cyprus's House of Representatives for 20 years, Haji Roussos experienced marginalisation first-hand. "I once met the US ambassador and told him that, 'We won't be able to survive without support,'" Haji Roussos says. "He responded, 'I realise this, you are like the ball in a ping pong match being hit around, but we can't do anything about it.'" Under the Republic of Cyprus Constitution of 1960, the Maronite community is recognised as a "religious group" but not a minority. Haji Roussos and others have long campaigned for the change of the community's status - but to no avail. "Although there was goodwill on behalf of the [Greek Cypriot] government and the parliament, but they used the argument that they couldn't change the Constitution," he says. Antonis Haji Roussos, ex-Maronite representative in Greek Cypriot parliament [Dimitris Sideridis/Al Jazeera] At independence in 1960, Cyprus's bicommunal constitution arranged for a Greek Cypriot president and Turkish Cypriot deputy, in a power-sharing agreement that was short-lived. Solely identified as a "religious group", the island's Maronites, Armenians and Latins were asked to choose which of the two largest communities to join and all three opted to be identified as Greek Cypriots due to religious affinity and linguistic and cultural bonds - adding yet another layer to the island's complex reality. "The Cyprus problem is presented as simply a Greek-Turkish problem, which results in all other important matters being ignored and side-stepped," says Costas Constantinou, a professor of international relations at the University of Cyprus. "There is assimilation, while others say that the Cyprus problem shouldn't be complicated any further by also looking at the issues of minority groups," he adds. Last summer, Turkish Cypriot leaders announced that a plan would be presented about the opening up of the rest of Maronite villages to their former inhabitants and the completion of infrastructure work to make resettlement possible. Not much has since happened, but the Greek Cypriot side at the time rejected the move, calling it "communications tricks" and part of a plan to not place such villages under Greek Cypriot administration after a solution to the island's division is reached. Back in Kormakitis, Maurohanna, the cafe server who has known no other home than this village, said time is of the essence. "We sacrificed ourselves and we managed to keep our villages," she says. "But if no people return, everything will cease to exist. "This is what we want: a peaceful resolution to the Cyprus problem and everybody to come back."

The ongoing destruction of Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential continues…
Rezko Watch has a wealth of interesting video, audio, and links to more information about Snobgate, where Obama's remarks have revealed how he feels about rural Americans.
"One of the great pleasures of running for president is to go to some tiny town in Iowa and you've got some guy in overalls and a seahat to say what do you think about the situation in Burma, and you're thinking that he's going to ask you about corn, and he asks you about Burma."—Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), November 27, 2007, foreign policy forum, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Another blog, Obama Watch, reports the words of Obama (Snobama):
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them.And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations
and reports on the observations of other bloggers on Snobgate.
And Gateway Pundit updated us with this gem:
This is the height of hypocrisy from a man who attended a church of hatred for 20 years.
Who himself is…
1) anti-trade – except for Commie Cuba which goes along with his commie mentor and friends
2) clings to false religion of hateful, black liberation theology for 20 years
3) antipathy towards people unlike him. attends a race-baiting, conspiracy-laden, false teaching, anti-Christian "black values only" church.
4) will talk to criminal tyrants around the world, including Syria, Iran, Cuba(commies, extremist islamic zealots), but refuses to even meet with a democratically elected President of Columbia who has lifted Columbia out of civil war, reduced violence, reconciled many different people, where millions rally for him, who has expanded freedoms and liberty in justice, media and work, who has protected the people from Communist FARC cocaine drug pushers who buy weapons from the sell of illegal drugs to Americans. Anti-Trade Obama for those "unlike him"
5) refuses to vote for a free-trade agreement to lift tarriffs on goods sold to Columbia that increase jobs for Americans.
What is really entertaining is to watch Obama's Apologists dance and twist and blame other people, a classic example of misdirection and ad hominem:
Hillary Clinton, because her campaign is desperate, and John McCain, because he's a Republican, have both jumped on this statement. Accusations of a Barack Obama being an elitist (McCain may be the richest man in the Senate and Hillary Clinton who made over $109 million in the last 7 years are calling Obama elitist – that's rich…pun intended) and not respecting gunowners or religious God-fearing people have been recklessly thrown out.
The above blogger is just a hater, and spreader of hate, plain and simple.
Bottom line: Obama was either pandering to West Coast Elitists, or he meant what he said. Either way…his credibility is shot. His Campaign slogan should read "The Audacity of Hate"…
**update** 9.26 am
William Teach has a good post on the situation, with a map to show how Obama and his progressives view America. (NSFW)
On the "8 Stages of Liberal/Progressive Discussion When They Know They Are Busted," a #2 is "Find some sort of moral equivalence or a story from 30 years ago saying a Conservative did something sort of similar."

Want Strong, Healthy Teeth? Try Adding These Foods to Your Diet
When it comes to oral health, most of us do everything right. Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash can do a lot when it comes to keeping our teeth healthy and strong. But what not many people realize is that the food we consume can be a key factor in dental health. Generally, most people know that sugary and acidic foods and drinks can cause tooth decay. But what foods promote strong and healthy chompers? Let's take a look at a few different foods that can help improve your dental health.
If you happen to be one of the many, many people who are so very fond of cheese, you're in luck. Cheese is one of the best foods to help fight off tooth decay. Calcium and protein are both found in cheese, both of which are essential for bone health. Additionally, certain cheeses are rich in iodine, which, according to the WHO, 72% of people worldwide are deficient in. So as long as you're not lactose intolerant, there's plenty of good to come from eating cheese.
Another dairy product that is great for dental health is yogurt. Along with containing plenty of calcium and protein, yogurt is full of good bacteria, called probiotics, that can help prevent cavities. However, it is important to choose yogurts low in sugar.
If you have to choose between coffee and tea, tea is the way to go. Black and green teas contain polyphenols, which can help slow the growth of bacteria. In doing this, the risk of developing cavities and gum disease will be lower. Not to mention that drinking tea can also help with bad breath.
Foods rich in antioxidants can also help keep teeth healthy and strong. By choosing foods like apples, berries, raisins, nuts, and beans, you'll be getting plenty of antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and overall help protect your gums and tissue from damage or infection. But again, it's important to remember to watch your sugar intake when consuming fruits.
Before you reach for a soda or another sugary, acidic drink, think about your teeth. Know what your teeth, and the rest of your body, really need? Water. We all know how beneficial drinking more water can be to our overall health, but water is also essential for keeping your teeth healthy. Not only does water help get rid of any food particles left behind, but it helps produce saliva. One of the best defenses against tooth decay is saliva because it contains minerals and proteins that help your mouth naturally fight off damage-causing plaque and bacteria. So if your mouth is feeling dry, drink some good old fashioned water.
You shouldn't only care about your oral health the week of your dentist appointment. Seeing as how 99.7% of adults responded to an AACD survey saying they agree a healthy smile is important for their social lives, having healthy teeth is something you should care about all year long. By brushing and flossing twice a day and eating some of the foods we talked about, you can make sure your teeth remain healthy and strong.

Girl, you almost make me want to cut my hair, after it took to years to grow out!
Its nice to hear a voice behind the pictures. I need a room tour after seeing all those clothes in the back. You seem like a pro doing this video.
Love putting a voice to a blog 😀 love this video Prissy! You did an amazing job – I can't believe you do all this yourself! I shouldn't be surprised though, your hair always looks so fabulous <3
You are so talented. I wished I could do my hair myself. I would save so much money.
OMG!!!! This was great! The fact that you know how to cute and line up your own hair blows me away. Your hair looks great, as ALWAYS!!! I LOVE it! Its also nice to hear what bloggers voices sound like cause we only get to see pictures.
7eventh Letter
I can not wait for more vids! You did an amazing job and i am DEFINITELY subbing on YT :)) fantastic job Prissy!
Great job on the hair. Salon finish at home….I love it!
Excellent tutorial! I use Morccan oil conditioner on my hair and it helps with moisture and flakes! Great to finally hear your voice 🙂
You make me want to cut EVERY inch of my hair off. Your's is always perfect……and your closet….GIRRRLLLLLL!!!!
LOL. Great post!
I love your blog! Short hair tutorials are very hard to come by, and yours was ultra comprehensive…thank you!
Follow me on twitter @pixiecutfash
I do not know where to start. This is amazing. You did such an awesome job! I have been visiting your blog for at least four months and I thought you went to a salon weekly because your hair is always gorgeous and you can tell how healthy it is because of the shine and how thick it is. Great video!! I love it!! beautiful hair always inspires me because I usually have a ponytail or a frizzy mess on my head!! I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing.
Nice video. I will have to check out that Chi moisturizer and the setting foam.
Great video Prissy you definately rock the pixie hair style really well
Hi Prissy:
Great video, but I noticed you said you don't use grease/oil on your hair/scalp. Dandruff is one result of dry scalp, though you maynot care to use it You might want to reconsider using it at least once a week. There are several products that are light enough not to weight the hair down and have you considered wearing a off centered part to 'swoop' your bang to either the left or the right?
Awesome. MAN LOOK AT ALL THOSE CLOTHES!

Matar paneer is a restaurant style creamy, delicious and rich peas paneer curry. Matar paneer is one of India's most popular paneer dishes. In most Indian homes, it is made during winters when fresh peas are in season. However it can also be made with frozen peas anytime around the year.
This matar paneer is the best when you plan for a special meal. Some roti, phulka, naan or plain basmati rice, jeera rice or ghee rice will be great to pair up with this.
I usually make matar paneer with raw onions, tomatoes and cashews blended together. It is a super quick recipe and is great to make when you are in a hurry.
I have shared that method at the end of the post as method 2 (upon readers request).
Today's recipe takes some time since the onions and tomatoes are sauteed first and pureed. This is what makes the dish simply superb and unique.
This recipe is roughly adapted from my Paneer butter masala which is a popular recipe on the blog.

How to make matar paneer
- Heat 2 tbsps oil in the same pan.
- Saute 1 inch cinnamon & 1 bay leaf for a minute.
- Pour the pureed onion tomato mixture.
- Add ¾ to 1 tsp chili powder, ¾ to 1 tsp garam masala and ½ to ¾ tsp coriander powder.
- Saute until the masala leaves the sides of the pan. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
- Next add ½ to ¾ cup green peas.
- Pour 1 to 1 ¼ cups water. If using fresh peas, boil them until tender in a pot, drain and use. If using frozen peas then you can rinse and use.
- Mix well to make a thick gravy. Add more water if needed.
- Mix and cook covered on a medium heat until the gravy thickens and traces of oil appear over the gravy.
- Crush 1 tsp kasuri methi in your palm & sprinkle all over. Mix well.
- Check salt and add more if needed.

NUTRITION (estimation only)
If you are a beginner or new to Indian cooking, I highly suggest you to check the supporting step by step photos for best results. Step by step photos with description available below after the recipe card.
1. Heat a pan and add 1 tbsp oil. When the oil turns hot, add 2 green cardamoms, ginger and garlic. Saute just for a minute. I did forget to add the cardamoms here so added in the tempering later.
2. Add chopped onions. Saute them until they turn pink to light golden. The raw smell of the onions has to go away.
3. Then add chopped tomatoes, salt and turmeric.
4. Saute for 2 to 3 mins.
5. Cover the pan. Cook on a medium flame until the onions and tomatoes turn mushy.
6. Add cashews and turn off the stove.
7. Cool this mixture completely. Transfer to a blender jar.
8. Make a smooth puree without adding water.
How to make matar paneer recipe
9. Heat a pan with 2 tbsps oil. Add cinnamon and a small bay leaf. You can also skip them and just add 1/2 tsp cumin. Fry them for a min.
10. Pour the onion tomato puree. Add chili powder, garam masala and coriander powder. You can also add the spice powders first to hot oil. If the pan is too hot , it will burn the powders so i added later.
11. Fry this until the mixture comes together. Keep stirring often.
12. Add boiled green peas or frozen peas. If using fresh peas, then you may need to boil them. Drain and use here. I used frozen peas, so just rinsed well and added. Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cup water.
13. Mix well. Cover and cook until the gravy thickens. Taste the gravy and add more salt if needed.
14. Add chilli, paneer and kasuri methi. Mix gently and cover. Cook just for 2 to 3 mins.
15. Add chopped coriander leaves and cream. Mix well. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Serve matar paneer with basmati rice, roti, phulka or ghee rice.
Matar paneer – method 2
Ingredients to follow from recipe card except for 1½ tsp ginger garlic paste to use below. Here are the instructions:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil & add the cubed onions.
- Boil for 2 to 3 mins. Drain the blanched onions.
- Make a fine paste of blanched onions, tomatoes, chili, and cashews.
- Optional step. Saute paneer in little oil and immerse them in hot water until used.
- Saute cumin, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon & bay leaf in oil for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Fry ginger garlic paste until the raw smell goes off.
- Add the ground paste & fry until it leaves the sides of the pan.
- Also the raw smell must disappear.
- Add chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder and salt. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add peas and 1.5 cups water. Cook until the gravy thickens.
- When the gravy turns thick, you will also see some oil on top of the gravy. There is not much oil used in the recipe so you can see very little oil on top.
- To the thick gravy, add paneer and kasuri methi.
- Cook for just 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using cream is optional. Pour cream to a bowl, add little gravy and mix well. Stir this in to the pan.
- Switch off the stove and add finely coriander leaves. Serve matar paneer with roti or rice.

Peter Asher & Albert Lee Play Backstage In Kinross This Autumn.
Peter Asher & Albert Lee Will be playing an acoustic duo show at Backstage at the Green Hotel For Mundell Music on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th November.
Tickets £30. Buy Thursday Tickets HERE.
Buy Wednesday Tickets HERE.
Green Hotel Kinross Reduced Accommodation Rates
Peter Asher & Albert Lee
Multiple GRAMMY winners Peter Asher and Albert Lee combine their talents for an acoustic evening of songs and stories. As one half of Peter & Gordon, Peter Asher's voice "literally soared through Carnegie Hall" (Fox News), while Albert Lee has been called "the ultimate virtuoso" by Eric Clapton. Influenced from their earliest days as musicians and performers by great American artists like Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers, Peter Asher and Albert Lee bring those influences to the fore in their first series of shows together as an acoustic duo.
Albert Lee began his career as a touring musician in the early sixties and soon catapulted onto the stage with the likes of Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, and Emmylou Harris. A 25-year-run as Music Director of his beloved Everly Brothers coincided with studio and stage work with Vince Gill, Roseanne Cash, and also Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr ("The Concert for George"). Even with all this, he found the time for over ten solo and band albums under his own moniker. His numerous studio sessions have led to four GRAMMY nominations and two awards.
We came to know Peter Asher via 10 Top 40 hits with Peter & Gordon, whose debut "A World Without Love" topped the charts in the United States, UK, and over thirty other countries . His days as A&R director for the Beatles' Apple Records made history, and he became a legend as producer and manager of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and a host of others. He remains the only artist manager to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and his studio work has led to two GRAMMY Awards for Producer of the Year.
Theirs is a history of song, and this shows will reflect that history. From the Peter & Gordon catalog, Peter Asher and Albert Lee will harmonize on "World Without Love," "I Go To Pieces," "500 Miles," and more. From Albert Lee's back pages, expect the Jimmy Webb-penned title track from his new acoustic album, "The Highwayman," Rodney Crowell's "Till I Gain Control Again," Hoyt Axton's "Evangelina," and more. And of course, mutual inspirations such as the Everly Brothers provide "Crying in the Rain" and "No One Can Make my Sunshine Smile;" from Buddy Holly comes the massive Peter & Gordon hit "True Love Ways" and "Learning the Game." As Asher and Lee tell us stories of the travels that brought them to so many of the intersections of music history, the two legends bring these timeless songs to life.
