New York State Aims for 100 MW of Rooftop Solar Power by 2015
photo: Seth Anderson via flickr
New York State Governor David Patterson wants your rooftop! Well, the rooftops of public and private facilities which are willing to enter into a public-private partnership with the New York State Power Authority so that the state can install 100 MW of solar power:The whole thing is intended to help the state meet its goal of getting 45% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2015. Proposals for facilities wishing to participate are due by July 7 (here's the Request for Expressions of Interest document); selected proposals are expected to begin in 2010.
Reuters Entirely Mis-Characterizes Why Solar is Important
That's all the good news. But to digress into a bit of media analysis for a moment: I first noticed this announcement in Reuters and find the way the whole thing presented to be off.
After presenting the basic details of the announcement, the piece briefly goes into the financial details of the project (of which we don't really know all that much about, the specific being fairly vague at this point) and focuses on the cost of solar power versus wind power and fossil fuels.
Now solar power does cost more than wind power, and both more than fossil fuels on average—thanks in large part because of hidden subsidies on and externalized environmental impacts of fossil fuels—but none of the benefits are mentioned.
There is a one line mention that natural gas and coal emit carbon dioxide, but there is no mention that CO2 is linked to global climate change, only that it's going to be regulated by the federal government.
If this sort of coverage is all part of Reuters' rebrand their environmental coverage as 'green business' first and foremost, I'm not overly impressed.

Court: Paper Records Just Fine
"A Thurston County judge said Friday that state public-disclosure laws do not require Washington government agencies to release information in electronic form if the material is offered on paper."

Gas Companies Seek to Block Release of Pipeline Data
The gas companies are appealing a Thurston County judge's ruling to release the information, arguing that it would make their 22,000 miles of underground pipeline systems vulnerable to terrorist attacks or vandalism. The newspapers that are asking for the information say it's a matter of public interest, especially following the 1999 pipeline explosion in Bellingham that killed an 18-year-old man and two boys."

School Board Sought Legal Advice on Secret Vote
Yet another example of information coming to light via the Public Records Act.
A new law involves the disclosure of agency legal invoices like the Tacoma School District's. House Bill 1897 , which passed in the 2007 legislative session, clarifies that the law always required the disclosure of most portions of an agency's legal invoice. The new goes into effect on July 22, 2007.
Port of Seattle Taping Executive Sessions--Are the Tapes Disclosable?
Here's the problem the Port faces. Government records such as the tape are presumed to be open to the public. Gray areas in definitions are interpreted by a court in favor of disclosure; that is, the tie-breaker goes to the records requestor. "Minutes" of a closed executive session can be withheld. But "minutes" mean the written summary of the meeting--a tape of the whole meeting seems different than mere "minutes." Furthermore, the Legislature is very good at meticulously detailing exactly what it means, so when it said "minutes"--but not "tapes"--can be withheld it must have meant something. And the tie-breaker in this debate goes to the records requestor.
As for the Port's apparent attempt to shield the tapes from public disclosure solely because they are kept in the Port attorney's office, good luck. The P-I story above quotes Allied Law Group's Greg Overstreet on this. He describes the "potted plant" doctrine, which provides that an attorney merely sitting in a meeting like a potted plant cannot turn conversations into nondisclosable privileged communications. There is much more to the attorney-client privilege than the mere presence of an attorney.

School District Expected to Release Tape Detailing Open Meetings Violation
What a great idea: taping closed executive sessions of public meetings can prove violations and (far more importantly) deter many, many more. Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) and State Auditor Brian Sonntag (D) will be jointly requesting a taping bill in the 2008 legislative session. Auditor Sonntag proposed this same bill in the 2001 legislative session but local government argued--get this--that requiring taping was an "unfunded mandated" which would presumably bankrupt local governments. A small digital recorder costs about $59. The saddest part about this argument is ... it worked, at least in 2001. But we think things will be different in 2008.

Investigation of Possible Voter Fraud Brought to Light by Public Records
Good for BIAW. Often maligned as too "conservative," BIAW does some of the best investigative work around--and usually via the Public Records Act. (Uncovering wrongdoing by the status quo government establishment is hardly "conservative," but that's a discussion for a different day.) Many in government want to weaken the Public Records Act. Ever wonder why?
Judge Grants Class-Action Status to Open Records Lawsuit
Washington law prohibits a "search" fee for public records. Many have thought a class-action suit in Washington over illegal "search" fees and excessive copying charges would make sense. After all, an agency is not even remotely deterred by having to refund a few dollars to an individual requestor, but if you group several thousand requestors together for refunds ...
Torture: The State Fails a Young Girl
How did you and thousands of other citizens learn about this horrible tragedy? "State records show" means the Public Records Act. "Hundreds of pages of investigative files" also means the Public Records Act. Running this story, which was made possible by access to public records, will hopefully change things for other kids and help us keep our government accountable.
Prosecutors Keep List of Problem Officers
The "review of disciplinary records" mentioned in the story would be via the Public Records Act. The review of "court files" would be via open-government court rules which are similar to the Public Records Act. Then the story magnificently illustrates the importance of the Public Records Act by noting that problem officers are discovered by defense lawyers who find out about them "from a public-records request." Wow. You couldn't come up with a better example of how the Public Records Act allows us to remedy wrongs and keep government accountable. Quite a few in government want to eliminate or severely weaken the effectiveness of the Public Records Act. Ever wonder why?
NJ School Board Whacked for $18,000 for Withholding Minutes of Open Meeting
To be crystal clear: Minutes of an open meeting in Washington are public records subject to disclosure. The law provides: "The minutes of all regular and special meetings except executive sessions of [all] boards, commissions, agencies or authorities shall be promptly recorded and such records shall be open to public inspection."
Tip of the hat to Leslie Graves for this story. She operates a great blog called State Sunshine and Open Records. She provides a weekly roundup of open-government news stories from around the United States in a feature called Random Friday Links, from which I found the NJ story.

NC Town Must Pay Newspaper's Legal Fees in Records Dispute
"RALEIGH, N.C. — A Dare County judge has ordered the town of Kitty Hawk to pay a newspaper $75,000 to cover legal costs it incurred as it fought for access to government records. The Outer Banks Sentinel sued Kitty Hawk in 2004, after town officials refused to release billing records of the town's contract attorney in 2003 and 2004. ... Superior Court Judge Richard Parker, in a decision filed June 19, blamed the town's attorneys for using 'totally unwarranted' tactics in defending the case, adding expenses to the newspaper's legal costs."
Sounds familiar.
By the way, the Legislature passed a bill in 2007 specifically declaring that agency legal invoices are subject to disclosure (with minor redactions). The law goes into effect on July 22, 2007. What do you want to bet that local governments in Washington continue to deny requests for their legal bills? Denying a public records request when the Legislature specifically passed a law declaring the record to be disclosable is perhaps the best possible example of "totally unwarranted" defense tactics. Prediction: In a few months, OG-Blog will be writing about a huge award of legal fees and penalties because a local government attempted to withhold legal invoices.
Identities of Teachers Accused of Sexual Misconduct--Thanks to Public Records
While the story doesn't say so, I suspect that the newspaper did what newspapers often do: heard a tip and then verified it with public records. Newspapers don't just print rumors, despite what their detractors think. Public records are routinely used to verify the facts--and that's a good thing. No verification via public records and no story. That's a bad thing, especially if you have students in a public school and had no idea one of your child's teachers was accused of sexual misconduct.
By the way, the Seattle-area teachers unions actually argued in the state Supreme Court a few months ago that obtaining public records showing the identities of teachers accused of sexual misconduct with students was "not in the public interest." Think about it.
Tennessee Gets an Open Government Ombudsman
"The state is now looking for an expert on open records. The budget that goes into effect in July includes $100,000 to hire an open records ombudsman, someone to help regular people get documents that are available under the state's Public Records Act."
Good for Tennessee. Pierce County is looking at doing the same thing and Washington's Attorney General, Rob McKenna, did the same in early 2005 by hiring Allied Law Group's Greg Overstreet. Now that Overstreet has moved over to private practice, McKenna has replaced him with Tim Ford. A public records ombudsman is one of the few examples in government where a public employee's job is specifically to help individual people with claims against the government. It's rare. But needed.
Florida (Copies Washington and) Creates Sunshine Committee
Imitation is the highest form of flattery so Washington citizens should feel flattered. Our legislature created a Sunshine Committee this year and it will start meeting in July. Good for Florida, which is, after all, the "Sunshine State" (that's what their license plates say so it must be true).
Tip of the hat to Mindy Chambers at the Washington State Auditor's Office who alerted OG-Blog to this.
Corrections Faces Another Records Lawsuit
The Department of Corrections should look at the Attorney General's recently-adopted (non-binding) model rules on providing electronic records (scroll down to "2007 Model Rules (Electronic Records)"). They say that electronic records should be provided in an electronic format in most cases.

Interesting State-by-State Survey of Disclosure of Public Employees' Salaries
Washington does pretty well. For the record: the disclosure of a public employee's salary is absolutely required by the Public Records Act. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
City Attorney Stops Release of Report Critical of Police
Liability for releasing a public record in good faith? Not possible. RCW 42.56.100 provides: "No public agency, public official, public employee, or custodian shall be liable, nor shall a cause of action exist, for any loss or damage based upon the release of a public record if the public agency, public official, public employee, or custodian acted in good faith in attempting to comply with the [the Public Records Act]." So fear of liability isn't the reason to withhold this record ...

(Wis.) Court Rules Open Meetings Notice Must Be Specific
Washington's Open Public Meetings Act does not require an agenda, let alone an agenda with enough information to inform the public of what the meeting is about. So in Washington the public can attend a meeting ... but cannot require the agency to tell them what the meeting is about.

Pierce County Considering Adding Open-Government Ombudsman and Adopting AG's Model Rules
Pierce County Considering Adding Open-Government Ombudsman and Adopting AG's Model Rules
OG-blog thinks Pierce County could really use some open-government improvement. Kudos to county councilmember Shawn Bunney for thinking of this and moving forward on it. Once again illustrating that open government is not a partisan issue, Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) and State Auditor Brian Sonntag (D) testified in favor of the proposal.

County To Provide Agendas In Advance of Public Meetings
Public records lead to ...
"City Council members Monday night unanimously called for an investigation of Mayor Jerry Landcastle's conduct. ... The investigation comes after The Bellingham Herald reported Wednesday that the mayor told staff in March emails to fast-track the permitting process for Fairhaven Candy — despite the business not having adequate paperwork in to the city planning department — because the business would be good for the city and the owner was a local resident."

Public records (in Pa.) show ....
"There's only one likely explanation for why the higher-ups at the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency spent $409,413 on lawyers to fight a Patriot-News request for records of travel expenses incurred by its employees and board members: They didn't want to embarrass themselves with revelations of high, even ridiculous expenditures on themselves, money that otherwise could have -- and should have -- gone to help students overcome the high cost of going to college."

Taken and adapted from, The Mosaic Covenant: 'Law,' Chapter 4.
Written by, Charles Leiter
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world…
…was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation. For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. Romans 4:13-16
Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "The righteous man shall live by faith." However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "He who practices them shall live by them." Galatians 3:11-12
In Chapter 3, we considered God's covenant with Abraham and his "seed"—a covenant that Paul describes by the term "Promise." In this chapter, we will consider God's covenant with Israel through Moses—a covenant that Paul describes by the term "Law." Then in Chapter 5, we will consider the New Covenant—a covenant that Paul describes by the term "Faith." It is clear that Paul views Law as fundamentally different from both Promise (Galatians 3:18), and Faith (Galatians 3:12). He repeatedly speaks of the Mosaic Covenant in terms of "works," in contrast with "faith." "For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law, to perform them.' Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, 'The righteous man shall live by faith.' However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, 'He who practices them shall live by them.'" (Galatians 3:10-12)
Some have argued that when Paul says "the Law is not of faith," he is speaking of a Jewish misunderstanding or distortion of the Law. They maintain that, in reality, the Law was a covenant of grace based on faith, but the Jews misconstrued it to be a covenant of works based on human performance. It is evident, however, that Paul is not setting forth here a Jewish misunderstanding or distortion of the Law, but the basic principles that characterized the Mosaic Covenant itself.
Blessings and Curses
To understand why this is so, we must remember that the Law had both a positive and negative side, setting forth the dual possibilities of either life or death. These possibilities were conditioned upon human obedience or disobedience. This is well illustrated by the blessings and curses pronounced from Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ebal. Though this important passage should be read in its entirety if we are to feel its full impact (Deuteronomy 27:11-28:68; see also Leviticus 26), a few excerpts will be sufficient to demonstrate the fact that the Old Covenant was characterized by "conditions" and that its blessings (or curses) hinged upon human performance.
Now it shall be, if you will diligently obey the LORD your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the LORD your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out…. Deuteronomy 28:1-6
But it shall come about, if you will not obey the LORD your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out. The LORD will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me…. Deuteronomy 28:15-20
All this is summarized, on the one hand, by the Law's warning that "the soul who sins will die" ( Ezekiel 18:4), and on the other hand, by the Law's assurance that "he who practices" the commandments "shall live by them"(Galatians 3:12; Leviticus 18:5). This assurance that those who "do" will "live" had a temporal application to the Jews—as long as they obeyed the commandments and requirements of the Law of Moses, they would "live" in the land that God had given them and experience His "blessings." This held true even if their obedience was far from perfect and (in many cases) only external or "outward in the flesh" (Romans 2:28-29).
But the promise of "life" also represented a deeper and abiding legal principle—it had to do, not only with "life in the land," but with eternal life. And the obedience required for obtaining such life involved nothing less than perfect love to both God and man. The Lord Jesus made this clear on more than one occasion:
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" And he answered and said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live." –Luke 10:25-29
Likewise, when the "rich young ruler" asked Jesus, "What good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" His reply was, "If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matthew 19:16-17). This means that if anyone were to keep the law perfectly, he would earn or merit eternal life by working out his own (Philippians 3:9) righteousness in the eyes of the law. "For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness" (Philippians 3:9). Not only did the promise of "life" that was set forth by the Law represent more than mere "life in the land"; the Law's "curse" also represented more than mere physical death or expulsion from Canaan. This is made clear by Paul's statement that "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13). The "curse of the Law" from which Christ has redeemed us by drinking the cup of God's wrath, is none other than the eternal death that is the just "wages of sin." Christ did not die to save us from a Jewish misunderstanding of the Law's curse, but from the actual curse (Romans 6:23) of the Law itself!
In light of these clear teachings of Scripture, we must conclude that, whatever gracious provisions the Mosaic Covenant may have included, it nevertheless represented a covenant of works. It was characterized by the principle that life is contingent on doing. It was not just another "gracious administration of the covenant of grace," essentially one piece with the New Covenant, as some have supposed. The Law served a gracious purpose in God's overall plan, as we shall see, but the Law itself was not based on the principle of grace! Instead, it was given to "increase transgression" (Romans 5:20), and its inevitable result was to "bring about wrath" (Romans 4:15). This is why Paul views the Old Covenant as such to be a "ministry of death" (2 Corinthians 3:7) and a "ministry of condemnation" (2 Corinthians 3:9). It was not a Jewish misunderstanding of the Old Covenant that represented a "ministry" of death and condemnation, but the very "tablets of stone" (2 Corinthians 3:3, 7) themselves!
It is true that most of the Jews did in fact fail to understand the real purpose of the Law of Moses. But their misunderstanding related, not to the fact that the Law promised life on condition of obedience, but to the fact that men are too sinful in themselves to merit this life (Romans 7:10). Rather than realizing that the Law had been given to "shut them up under sin" (Galatians 3:22) and show them their desperate need to be justified by faith as their father Abraham had been, (Romans 4:1-5; 11-12) they supposed instead that they could obtain a "righteousness of their own" (Philippians 3:9) by keeping the Law. "For not knowing about God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10:3-4).
The stark contrast between the demands of the Old Covenant and the provisions of the New is seen even in the very manner in which the two covenants were inaugurated. The giving of the Law on Sinai was an event full of fear, foreboding, and darkness—as sinful men trembled before an unapproachably holy God and the "holy, righteous, and good" (Romans 7:12) law He was calling them to obey.
For you have not come to…a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word should be spoken to them. For they could not bear the command, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned." And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "I am full of fear and trembling." –Hebrews 12:18-21
By contrast, the New Covenant was inaugurated in the quiet intimacy of the Upper Room, where Jesus, "having loved His own who were in the world, loved them to the uttermost" (John 13:1) and spoke to them words of comfort and assurance before laying down His life for them. The inauguration of the New Covenant did indeed involve darkness, earthquake, and terror, but it was the darkness that fell upon Christ Himself (Matthew 27:45-46) as He redeemed His people from the curse of the Law and drank the bitter "cup" (Luke 22:42-44) of God's wrath reserved for them!
Law vs. Promise
According to Paul, "the Law is not of faith," (Galatians 3:12) and it is only when salvation is by faith that it can be a matter of grace:
For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified…. For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants…. Romans 4:14-16
We see in these verses that Law, because it is characterized by the principle of "works," is opposed to both Promise and Faith. And it is precisely this opposition that leads to Paul's question, "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God" (Galatians 3:21)? If Paul were teaching that the Law is a covenant based on the principle of grace, this question would never have arisen. But as it is, God has done something apparently inexplicable: He has made unconditional promises to Abraham and then followed them with a covenant that is conditioned on human performance! Does He really intend that men will earn their salvation by keeping the Law? Paul's answer is an emphatic, "May it never be!" "For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law" (Galatians 3:21). God never intended the Law as an alternate method of salvation, because man's sinful condition renders the Law "unable" to impart life. The problem lies, not in the Law's promise of life, but in man's inability to keep the Law and thus obtain its "righteousness." For this reason, Paul speaks of "what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh" (Romans 8:3). Instead of bringing life to fallen men, the Law brings only death: "And I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me" (Romans 7:9-10). The commandment did indeed promise life, but it "proved to result" only in death.
Why the Law Then?
If God never intended that men should be saved by law keeping, the question naturally arises, "Why the Law then" (Galatians 3:19)? Paul's answer is that "it was added because of transgressions…until the seed should come to whom the promise had been made." Notice that Paul describes the Law here as something "added." It is not the main entity, but an attachment; it "came in beside" (Romans 5:20 ASV). Not only was the Law added; it was also temporary. "It was added…until the seed [Christ] should come to whom the promise had been made." When Christ appeared, the time of the Mosaic Covenant was over. "Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor" (Galatians 3:25).
Paul says that the Law was added "because of transgressions." What he means by this statement is spelled out in considerable detail in his other writings. According to Paul, the Law "arouses sinful passions" in those who are unconverted (Romans 7:5). Sin "takes opportunity through the commandment" to produce more sin, to "deceive" us, and "through the commandment" to "kill" us (Romans 7:8, 11, 13). The Law awakens and stirs up sin; in fact, the Law is the very "power of sin" (1 Corinthians 15:56)! Thus, Paul can actually say, "the Law came in that the transgression might increase" (Romans 5:20). By showing men more clearly their condemnation and horrible bondage to sin, "the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24). The Law of Moses did its part to "shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe" (Galatians 3:22).
The Mosaic Covenant does indeed serve a gracious purpose in that it "leads us to Christ." Its laws reveal to us our sinfulness, and its sacrifices foreshadow our Savior. But the Mosaic Covenant itself is not characterized by the principle of grace, "for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them'" (Galatians 3:10).
Promise vs. Law
Since "as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse" (Galatians 3:10), it is evident that those Jews who found eternal life while living under the Mosaic Covenant, found it not through the Law as such, but through the Promise. Unlike their fellow countrymen who imagined that they could succeed in establishing a "righteousness of their own" by keeping the Law (Philippians 3:9; Romans 9:31-32; 10:3), they realized, instead, that the Law itself only condemned them. They knew that even their "righteous" deeds were but "a filthy garment" (Isaiah 64:6) in God's sight, and they understood that scrupulous observance of the sacrifices and offerings of the Mosaic system could not actually take away their sins (Micah 6:6-7; Psalm 51:16; Hebrews 10:4). Instead, they "followed in the steps of the faith of their father Abraham which he had while he was yet uncircumcised" (Romans 4:12). They, like Abraham, "believed God," trusting Him to "justify the ungodly" and to "reckon righteousness" to them "apart from works" (Romans 4:3-6). They, like Abraham, looked in faith to the promise and to the coming of the One to whom the promise had been made (John 8:56; 12:41; Acts 2:30-31; 1 Peter 1:10-12). As a result, they experienced the "blessing" of Abraham, even though they lived under the Law of Moses:
Just as David [a man who lived directly under the Mosaic Law] also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account." Romans 4:6-8
The same principle applied to the survival of the nation of Israel as a whole. Time after time, when the nation of Israel should have been utterly destroyed (Deuteronomy 28:45, 48, 51, 61 "until you are destroyed"), it was Promise, not Law, that preserved a remnant. Under the conditions of the Law (Deuteronomy 28:15-68), the people of Israel richly deserved every judgment that came upon them (Nehemiah 9:26-37; Daniel 9:1-19), and the fact that God did not "make an end of them or forsake them" is attributed to His grace and compassion (Nehemiah 9:30-31; Deuteronomy 4:29-31), not to His legal justice. When Israel sinned, no prophet ever interceded for the nation on the basis of Law, but solely on the basis of grace, imploring God for mercy and appealing to the covenant God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Turn from Your burning anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, "I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever." So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people. –Exodus 32:12-14 NAS95
You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day I knew you. So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and nights, which I did because the LORD had said He would destroy you. I prayed to the LORD, and said, "O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness or their sin." –Deuteronomy 9:24-27 NAS95
Now Hazael king of Aram had oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. But the LORD was gracious to them and had compassion on them and turned to them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them or cast them from His presence until now. –2 Kings 13:22-23
In this remnant preserved by grace lay the hope and future of God's people. Through the prophets, God assured the Jews that one day He would yet fulfill every promise made to Abraham by sending the Messiah, who would establish a New Covenant with the renewed "house of Israel and house of Judah" (Jeremiah 31:31-37; 32:37-41; Hebrews 8:6-13).
"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain; when he was one I called him, then I blessed him and multiplied him." Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and sound of a melody…."Lift up your eyes to the sky, then look to the earth beneath; for the sky will vanish like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die in like manner, but My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not wane."…So the ransomed of the LORD will return, and come with joyful shouting to Zion, and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. –Isaiah 51:1-3, 6, 11
"Shut Up Under Sin"
In answer to the question, "Why the Law then?" Paul says that it was "added because of transgressions." After considering something of what he means by this phrase, we have seen that God's ultimate purpose in giving the Law to fallen men was not that they might save themselves by keeping it, but that their utter need of a Savior might be established by their failing to keep it! In light of this truth, several questions immediately press upon each of us, even though we have never lived directly under the Mosaic Covenant:
Do I see God's demands as "holy, righteous, and good" (Romans 7:12) and His requirements as only good and right? Have I stopped blaming God for my sins by excusing them or by imagining that He expects too much of me?
Do I realize that I have fallen infinitely short of living a life of perfect love to God and man, and that, in myself, I stand hopelessly condemned in God's sight? Can I see that I am condemned, not because of any fault on God's part, but because of my own selfish and wicked heart?
Do I realize that I will never be able to establish any righteousness of my own before God or do anything that will obligate Him to love and save me? Have I given up on ever being able to "merit" the merits of Christ? Do I realize that unless salvation is entirely by grace, I will never be saved?
If my answer is "yes" to all of these questions, then the law of God has done its intended work in me! I have nothing to do but to look away from myself and put my trust in Christ alone for my righteousness and salvation!
"So the ransomed of the LORD will return, and come with joyful shouting to Zion, and everlasting joy will be on their heads." Hallelujah!

LTE World Summit 2014 Continues to Drive the LTE Evolution
LTE continues to be a key technology driving mobile data capabilities and delivery of new services, and with 274 commercial LTE networks now launched across 101 countries[1], the LTE World Summit returns this June at a hugely exciting yet crucial time for the industry.
Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, the LTE World Summit takes place across three days (23-25 June) and brings together 3,500+ attendees, 300+ speakers and 150+ exhibitors to address the key issues, opportunities and challenges facing today's booming LTE market!
This years' event provides an important platform for both advanced and emerging markets addressing not only the technical and commercial challenges facing LTE deployments, but also highlighting the opportunities for operators offering LTE to ensure intelligent and optimised networks and to maximise these networks through new value-added services.
Attracting leading operators, content providers, regulatory players, analysts, industry associations and technology vendors from all parts of the ecosystem, the conference agenda will address several key areas: NFV, Monetising LTE, Roaming and IPX, Backhaul, Cloud, SDN, LTE Broadcast, LTE Business Models, Device Deployments, SON, VoLTE, IMS, M2M, Carrier Aggregation and OTT Collaboration to name just a few.
The event will also feature a number of pre-conference focus days and co-located events including the Signaling and Antenna Evolution Focus Days and the always-popular Operator Mindshare!
This year's LTE World Summit is set to be the biggest yet, and will for the first time ever be co-located with the 5G World Summit which looks ahead to the future of 5G to ensure that leading operators and solution providers are effectively paving the way towards these future networks and understand exactly what is driving 5G, what technologies are required and what services 5G will enable.
The event includes a stellar global CTO-led speaker line-up that includes amongst many others:

Pierre François Dubois, Vice President of Product Development at Orange is speaking on Day One and comments: "LTE is a major breakthrough in our industry. It shakes everything, from architecture and operations to business models. It is very important to meet with other MNOS and vendors to share ideas and make sure we make the right choices. It is very important that the LTE World Summit exist in order to give us this opportunity. No doubt that the 2014 edition will be very interesting!"
"Some of the leading LTE operators are seeing that the technology is having a positive impact on KPIs, which is great news for the future of the mobile industry," says Paul Lambert, Senior Analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media. "With LTE network launches gathering pace in all regions, those attending this year's LTE World Summit will have the chance to hear what the right approach is to launching and evolving LTE services and how to most effectively communicate the benefits of LTE to end-users.
The LTE World Summit will also play host to the 5th Annual Telecoms.com LTE Awards, which continues to recognise and reward the most innovative technologies developed for LTE services.

Network map shows switch that does not exist
Hi guys. I am usually pretty good with these things as I have been networking for years and I am currently studying a Bachelor of Information Technology, but this one has be baffled.
As you can see in the image below, the network map shows my PC---Switch---Router/modem---Internet. The problem is that the switch has only appeared recently and I have not installed any switches, nor do I have a need for one as my PC is the only device wired to the router, all others are WiFi. I have looked everywhere for a solution to this both on my computer and on the internet and have come up blank
The other problem is that I had my 2 PCs (Main in office and one connected to TV in lounge room) and laptop all set up so they could each access the other device's shared file through the Home Group, however now I can not see or access the other 2 from my main PC, but I can see and access the Main PC from the other 2 (TV system and laptop). While all this is happening, if you look at the bottom of the image, you will see that the TV system is in the 'The following discovered devices cannot be placed in the map' section...... This has me totally confuzzled
Any help here is appreciated guys, thanks !!
|My System Specs
|25 Jul 2016
UPDATE: After having the main PC off for a while and turning it back on tonight, it seems the other computers are now visible in the network section of the side panel (see first pic below). The other systems in the side panel didn't disappear until the last few days and the system has been turned off and on many times lately with no change.....until today. DAMMIT CIA....STOP MESSING WITH MY STUFF !!!
Also there are now more devices in the 'The following discovered devices cannot be placed in the map' section. The non-existent 'Switch' is also still there . I may try changing the network cable between the router and the PC and see if that gets rid of it, but I have my doubts. The second pic shows all the other devices now in the 'The following discovered devices cannot be placed in the map' section.
But somehow they are all showing up under 'Computers' under the 'Network' section of the control panel. I'm lost lol.

People won things at the 2016 Inked Awards ceremony!
A few months ago, I told you all about who was nominated for an Inked Award. A few days ago, the winners of those awards were announced. The 2016 Inked Awards ceremony took place on November 5th in Edison New Jersey. The event was hosted by adult performer and tattoo enthusiast Kleio Valentien, while Catherine Taylor, Jas and Anna Bell Peaks served as trophy girls.
But you probably don't care about any of that shit. You just want to know who won which awards. Fine.
The 2016 Inked Awards – Complete List of Winners
- Cam Girl of the Year: Tisha Draven
- Starlet of the Year: Anna Bell Peaks
- Female Performer of the Year: Romi Rain
- Male Performer of the Year: Small Hands
- BBW of the Year: Alexxxis Allure
- Scene of the Year: Rachael Madori and Mick Blue – Anal Intoxication (Evil Angel)
- Group Scene of the Year: Romi Rain, Allie Haze and Toni Ribas – Deadly Rain (Brazzers)
- Director of the Year: Mick Blue
- DVD of the Year: Deadly Rain (Brazzers)
- Girl/Girl Scene of the Year: Kleio Valentien and Sammie Six – Ronda Arouse Me (Burning Angel)
- Studio of the Year: Evil Angel
- Bill Snyder Achievement Award: Mitch Fontaine
- Best Ink: Kleio Valentien
- Best Model Website: Anna Bell Peaks
- Feature of the Year: Leigh Raven
- Perfect Pussy: GermanFlavor2
- Best Ass: Kissa Sins
- Social Media Queen: GermanFlavor2
- Best Anal: Holly Hendrix
- Best Oral: Cali Carter
- Pornvert Memorial Award: Christophe Peyras of Alt Girl Media
- Hall of Fame Inductee: Missy Suicide
A few observations…
Anna Bell Peaks, Romi Rain, Kleio Valentien and GermanFlavor2 were the big winners of the night. Each won two awards and of the twenty-two trophies handed out, these ladies walked away with eight of them. It's also pretty clear that the judges loved the shit out of Deadly Rain (Brazzers) because that film also won two awards.
I have no idea what the difference is between Starlet of the Year and Female Performer of the Year.
I was surprised to see Mick Blue win Director of the Year over Joanna Angel. Considering the quantity and quality of tattoo-heavy XXX releases from Burning Angel over the past year (Dysfucktional Family, Ole For Anal, Ronda Arouse Me, etc.), I would have thought it was hers to lose. Which, I guess, she did.
What do you think?
If you have any thoughts or feelings or stupid ramblings you'd like to share with us, do so in the comments section below.

Preliminaries to Marriage: Banns and Common Marriage Licences
Foreign Nationals / Foreign Domicile
If either of the couple are non-European nationals, instead of banns or a Common Marriage Licence, they must apply for Superintendent Registrar's Certificates ('SRC') from the relevant civil register office. This is the case since 2nd March 2015 when the law changed, unless a couple has been informed that the 'transitional arrangements' apply to them. If such a couple have any of the legal entitlements to marry in a parish church then Superintendent Registrar's Certificates can now be obtained on the same basis as banns could have been previously. For example, if the bride has a 'qualifying connection' to the parish, neither she nor the groom need also to be currently residing in the parish at the point of applying for the Certificate. It is not the case that a British or European couple can obtain a Certificate on the basis of a 'qualifying connection' to the parish.
If a couple have a legal entitlement to marry in a parish and wish to marry in the parish church (or a public chapel in the parish holding a Bishop's Licence for weddings), the usual preliminary for the wedding is the publication of banns.
Banns are read in the church where the wedding is to take place and in the parishes where each party resides.
An application for the calling of banns must be made to the minister of each parish where banns are to be called, which should be 7 days in advance of the Sunday when it is hoped the reading of the banns will be commenced. Banns must be called on three Sundays (not necessarily consecutive Sundays) prior to the wedding and a certificate of publication must be obtained.
A marriage after the calling of banns must be solemnized within three months of the last occasion on which banns were called.
Common Marriage Licences
If either of the couple reside outside England or Wales, or have a genuine reason for needing to marry in church before the publishing of banns can be completed, a Common Marriage Licence may be needed. If a couple have any of the entitlements to marry in a parish church after banns then a Common Marriage Licence can be obtained on the same basis. For example, if the bride has a 'qualifying connection' to the parish, neither she nor the groom need also to be currently residing in the parish at the point of applying for the Licence.
Banns and Common Marriage Licences: evidence of nationality
Where an application for banns or for a Common Marriage Licence is made by any couple wishing to marry in church, after 2nd March 2015 both parties should provide evidence of their nationality. Usually this will be a passport or (for some European citizens) national identity card. Clergy will advise couples on the exact requirements. Guidance for the clergy is found in the General Register Office's 'Guidebook for the Clergy', including a flow-chart to help clergy establish whether a person who does not have a current British Passport is a British National. If the bride and groom do not both produce evidence that they are both British/European nationals, the couple will need to apply for Superintendent Registrar's Certificates.
Banns and Common Marriage Licences: Special Provisions
Where there is a parish with no parish church, or where there is a parish church which does not have a service every Sunday, or the parish church is temporarily closed for repairs, the parish can be treated as part of any adjoining parish, so that banns may be called in the church of any adjoining parish and the marriage solemnised there. The provisions also apply to Common Marriage Licences, and (for non-European nationals only) Superintendent Registrar's Certificates.
Where there is a parish which is part of a benefice which has multiple parishes, it is possible for the Bishop to make an order under Paragraph 12(4) of Schedule 3 of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011, specifying where banns may be called and marriages solemnised in a multi-parish benefice. This means that the Bishop's order will permit any person living within the benefice to have banns called in, and be married in, any parish church within the benefice.
In other cases apart from the ones mentioned above, including multi-parish benefices where a Bishop's order has not been made, a couple may marry only in a parish (not benefice) to which they have the legal entitlement to marry, unless it is by Special Licence.[GLOSSARY:
A parish is a geographical area with fixed legal boundaries, which is served by a particular church and minister.
A benefice is the office which a minister holds, and covers one or more parishes.]

I am 60 years old and have hated broccoli all of my life. I would try it occasionally, but never changed my mind.
A few months ago we were at a party and they had a pasta salad. I took a spoonful and as I was eating it I noticed there was a small piece of broccoli. I said to the table "ew broccoli!" They all looked at me and said to just eat it. I mentioned that I didn't like it and they ignored me.
So I decided to try it again. I mentioned I was going to eat it and did and was shocked to find out I liked it. It was raw and had Italian salad dressing on it. Guess I never tried it raw before.
So my fridge now contains broccoli.
My fasting sugar was 156 this morning. I am using only insulin now. Fast acting and a daily slow acting one. Still messing up occasionally, but getting better. My belly is bruised though from the injections. Not everyone bruises, but enough do.

The Parish Church of St. Mary
There was a church at Alvediston in the 12th century. It had become part of the endowment of Chalke prebend in Wilton conventual church probably by 1288, when it was described as a chapel and certainly by 1299 when it was said to be a chapel of Broad Chalke. There were vicars of Alvediston from 1299 until the mid 16th century, however from 1584 or earlier Alvediston, along with Broad Chalke and Bower Chalke, were held as one edifice until the perpetual curacy of Alvediston was created in 1861. In the church of St. Mary's there is what is believed to be the tomb possibly of John Gawen dating to the 14th century. There are also several monuments here to the Wyndham family dating from 1688. The family purchased Norrington Manor House in 1658. The church was rebuilt in 1866 by architect T. H. Wyatt although retaining some 17th century architectural features.

Parish History
Alvediston parish lies at the head of the Ebble Valley, about 15 kilometres west south west of Salisbury. Lands which later formed Alvediston Manor were among 100 small dwellings granted by King Edwy to the nuns of Wilton in 955. Wilton Abbey held the whole of Alvediston in 1066 except the estate called Trow. The Manor was first recorded by name in 1165 and in 1197 Geoffrey of Wenhaston and his wife Alice released to the Abbey their interest in Alfetheston - probably Alvediston.

Buildings and Land
Alvediston Manor House
This is located not far from the church and is of the 18th century. It is built of brick, unusual for this area where most buildings are made of stone. The house is built on two storeys and there is a shell roof over the main entrance. It is surround by curved garden walls and was the last home of the Sir Anthony Eden, Earl of Avon who is buried in the local churchyard.
Norrington Manor
The house is situated east of Shaftesbury and isolated amongst the hills below Tisbury and set in the parish of Alvediston. The house is believed to have been built by John Gawen who purchased the land in 1377 and is said to have been built during the reign of Richard II. The Gawens were one of the oldest English families with links to Sir Gawain of the times of King Arthur. The estate was bought in 1658 and the building undertook some rebuilding. The 14th century hall and vaulted undercroft survive as well as a vaulted porch and doorway with a kings head corbel. Outside can be seen three transom windows.

As soon as we come to love our 'American Horror Story' characters they're snatched away from us and everything is remixed into a new show with new themes and new characters. There's been a few whispers about what potentially the third season of the show would bring particularly regarding the overall theme. Actor Dylan McDermott was the first to let slip the word 'witches' and now it's official. Season 3 of FX's hit horror TV show will be known as 'American Horror Story: Coven'. The revelation comes courtesy of co-creator Ryan Murphy but as expected any other major details at this point are still a mystery. Former cast members Jessica Lange (below), Lily Rabe, Taissa Farmiga, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Frances Conroy will all be returing along with new sign-up Kathy Bates ('Misery').
'American Horror Story: Coven' will shoot in New Orleans for an October premiere.Jessica Lange Joins the Coven

After Windows updates, a website forum I visit resets me to 0 Visits
After Windows automatically updates my laptop, a website I frequently visit resets me to 0 visits. I can't post replies until I have visited 5 times and can't start threads until I've visited over 20 times. This happens every time Windows updates. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? It's very frustrating.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2015
You might want to ask the website that you are visiting why this is happening. That website should not be using any "visit count" system that could be messed up via browser updates.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2015
Thanks for answering! This is the only website forum I have posted on and didn't know the "visit count" was unusual since it is easy to see under "settings" on their site the number of times I have visited. I have asked them a couple of times about this but have gotten no response yet. I guess I'll have to try them again.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2015
If they do not reply, then you might need to develop a work around.
e.g. does the visit count on that website increase if you reload the webpage?
Or, do you have to close your browser, wait a bit and then visit the website again to get an increase?
Or, do you have to sign out and then sign in again to get an increase?
You might also try using a different web browser.
e.g. use Chrome for that website and Internet Explorer for every other website. It is usually a good idea to have more than one web browser installed in case one gets so messed up that you cannot surf anywhere. You can use the other browser to help you find solutions to why the primary web browser has failed.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2015
I have noticed a pattern of this happening after some updates and thought that was causing it to reset the "visit count", but that could be coincidence and maybe the resetting is coming strictly from the website itself and is not because of the Windows updates. Strange and irritating...

Yikes, I posted before I saw you're tips UNI. Those tips are very helpful and I will try another web browser. Thanks again for your help.

good luck
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2015
I did download Chrome and am using it and Internet Explorer to go on the website and will see if both go to 0 visits next time. Thanks for the suggestions. You helped a lot.

Mother of Pearl is stripping back to basics with a new conscious collection, No Frills. Hitting retailers on the first of September 2018, creative director, Amy Powney, is introducing the line as a long-term initiative to make the brand fully sustainable.
"I have a vision to make products that travel the minimum amount of miles, using the minimum amount of chemicals possible, and are socially responsible and organic," says Powney in a new video documentary earmarked for release next year.
Powney, who stepped in as creative director in 2016, references her off-grid childhood in the north of England, as the collection's starting point. "I grew up in a caravan with no water, electricity or heating. I guess in some ways it set a grounding for my interest in sustainable fashion," she explains.
Using only cotton and wool from ethical production methods — including minimised water consumption and zero toxins — Powney believes the collection will be a big step toward reducing the brand's ecological footprint. Traceability and transparency are also important to the designer, prompting her to personally investigate her supply chains from the Alpaca farms in the Peruvian mountains to the wool farms of Uruguay: "I needed to take it that one step further and trace the supply chains all the way back, to really know exactly where this product is coming from."
With an aesthetic characterised by feminine ruffles, faux pearl detailing and masculine silhouettes, No Frills offers seasonless wardrobe staples that don't compromise on the brand's signature aesthetic. Iconic designs, like the jewel trouser, are reimagined in ethically-sourced denim, while the classic ruffle blouse is reconstructed in organic cotton. Developed exclusively for the line is a tailored jacquard suit jacket and cropped trouser combination.
A project that has been two and a half years in the making, Powney is passionate about sustainability, even designing a sustainable graduate collection while in university. Now at the helm of Mother of Pearl, she has found the perfect opportunity to implement her ethical mindset, with the hopes to transform the entire brand. "I've been passionate about sustainability for years and my dream has always been to work at a company with that at its forefront," she said.
Watch a clip below from the new No Frills documentary, due for release next year.

In the morning we hear to the train station for a few nights in Berlin.
The last time I was there the Wall was still up and it was a city surrounded by oppression and fear. Berlin was, and from what I hear still is, a party town. I can only imagine the thoughts of former East Germans as they saw the lights and heard the sounds of their Western counterparts reveling until the dawn.
Come the morning, I will finally get to travel freely to Berlin without the fear of detainment for for opposing communism. Photos soon.

United Way of Oxford & Lafayette County (UWOLC) is proud to be a member of the United Way Worldwide (UWW) network. While UWOLC is focused in our community -- raising and investing money locally -- our membership in the UWW network gives us access to opportunities and resources from around the world.
United Way Worldwide History
The United Way movement began in Denver in 1887, when a woman, a priest, two ministers, and a rabbi recognized the need for cooperative action to address their city's welfare problems. Frances Wisebart Jacobs, the Reverend Myron W. Reed, Monsignor William J. O'Ryan, Dean H. Martyn Hart, and Rabbi William S. Friedman came together to plan the first united campaign for ten health and welfare agencies. They created an organization to serve as an agent to collect funds for local charities, as well as to coordinate relief services, counsel and refer clients to cooperating agencies, and make emergency assistance grants in cases which could not be referred. That year, Denver raised $21,700 and created a movement that would become the United Way and spread throughout the world. More than 125 years later, United Way is still focused on mobilizing the caring power of communities and making a difference in people's lives. View UWW's 125th anniversary video here.
United Way Worldwide Membership Requirements
United Way Worldwide maintains strict membership requirements, holding all local United Ways to rigorous accountability and transparency standards. The "Membership Requirements Completed" icon on this website indicates that UWOLC has successfully completed all annual UWW membership requirements.

MOTORISTS will need to slow down on the main road outside Melrose High School during a half-hour period every weekday, starting from next Tuesday, March 11.
A 60km/h speed limit will apply to a section of Athllon Drive outside Melrose High School each school day between 3.00 and 3.30pm, centred around the intersection with Beasley Street.
The timing of traffic lights at the intersection will also be "adjusted to better suit the movements of pedestrians" and give people more time to cross on foot, according to Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Shane Rattenbury, who announced the new safety measures yesterday.
"The changes follow a series of studies conducted by TAMS on the safety of pedestrian crossing arrangements at the intersection of Athllon Drive and Beasley Street, adjacent to the Melrose High School boundary," Mr Rattenbury said.
"The studies determined that as many as 300 students cross the Athllon Beasley/Melrose intersection during the period between 3:15pm and 3:30pm each school day. This is an exceptional case where a very high number of students cross an 80kmh road within a short period of time."
Electronic message boards have been placed on Athllon Drive, Beasley Street and Mawson Drive from today until Monday, March 17, to remind motorists and other road users of the change in speed limit.

loans & groans
March 24, 2005
A little while back, I realized that I was rather tired of sending out insanely large numbers of official work "Interlibrary Loan in" emails, so I broke out of the rut of formality and began to have some fun with it. Now, each morning, on the drive in to work, I make up a fitting–if terribly silly–poem of the day, to use as my email notification. For instance:
This day's chilled with snow
But take heart! For you know
That the loan that you wanted
Has finally been granted:
Book Title, by Author
and then . . .
The sun is now shining
And you can stop pining,
For the loan for which you sent
Has finally been lent:
Book Title, by Author
and so on . . .
Well, I now have received a rather gratifying response to these–one that provided me with a hearty chuckle, considering my generally quiet workplace. After receiving one of my notices, a student took one of the old card catalog notecards that we keep as scratch paper, he added to it, and left it on my desk. The book this card was for is called The twenty-seventh wife, by Irving Wallace, and the final product, after he had altered it for me read:
The twenty-seventh wife
Vexed my soul with strife.
But I no longer moan,
I've solace in Interlibrary Loan.

As monsoon clouds slowly depart and the temperature eases up, the almanac brings in some of the most colourful and exciting festivals of the year. Here are some of the major ones:
Where: Kerala
When: 4th September
It is in God's Own Country that the spirit of this ten-day harvest festival can be truly felt. Celebrated to welcome the mythical King Mahabali who is regarded as the protector of the people in Kerala, homes are spruced up with flower and floor decorations. Celebrations are incomplete without tucking into the delicious Onam Sadya – the feast of over 15 dishes served on banana leaves and enjoying the pulsating energy of the snake-boat races.
Ladakh Festival
When: 17 – 24 September
This eight-day festival has a number of attractions like traditional polo matches, village archery competitions, famous mask dances, exhibitions of precious thankas (mural paintings), monks playing musical instruments and the grand opening parade.

Mysore Dussehra
When: 21 – 30 September
The story of the victory of good over evil – when Goddess Chamundeshwari (Durga) killed Mahishasura – is replayed in the celebrations of this 407-year-old festival. Among its highlights is the "Jumbo Savari" in which the idol of the goddess is taken out on an elephant. Come evening and all attention turns towards the gorgeous Mysore Palace that is lit with around a million bulbs. A kite-flying competition is also part of the festival.
Ziro Festival of Music

Tall effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhakarana and son Meghnad stuffed with crackers are put up across the city. As evening descends, the epic battle is enacted out and the effigies are set on fire.

The tradition of decorating homes with diyas and flowers, feasting and celebrating to welcome Rama back home has continued.
