These are a few of my favourite things . . . maybe you like them too.
Classic films. Old movies that we enjoy revisiting time and time again. Films like, yes . . . Gone with the Wind. The Wizard of Oz. Meet me in St Louis. Etc. We were watching Mrs Miniver the other night and we both remarked on how good some of these older films are. Sure sometimes they can be a bit corny, but we both love them. That's another one of my favourite things, being able to enjoy these old films with my husband!
Classic Literature. Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Wuthering Heights, etc. You cannot beat the classics. They never get old, proof being they have been immortalized again and again on film. I have lost count of how many times through the years I have read these old novels. I never tire of them. But there are modern classics I feel the same way about such as Emmeline by Judith Rossner.
Having friends over for lunch/dinner. I love to feed people, I really do and through the years I have enjoyed entertaining many, many people in my home. I think making a meal for people you care about is the ultimate. Its a gift you give both to them and to yourself. We had our good friends Tina and Tony over yesterday and it was such a pleasant afternoon. I did BBQ chicken, baked potatoes, swede, cauliflower cheese, and peas and carrots. Plus there was bread rolls and a dessert. The best part wasn't the food though, it was the company. I know Todd also enjoys this. He spent far too many years on his own. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to embroider his later years with things like this.
Picnics. Especially picnics aux deux. Why is it that food eaten out of doors tastes so much better than food eaten indoors, and if you call it a picnic, that automatically makes it even tastier. We were organizing one of our sheds the other day and we have two nice picnic baskets, containing all of the accoutrements. I vowed to use them more often this year, even if we only picnic at home some of the time. Turning any meal into a picnic automatically doubles the flavour factor!
A good French Baguette . . . thinly sliced and served with cold Danish butter, salt and French breakfast radishes . . . sooooo good. So simple. We were introduced to this pleasure by a French couple we used to know down South. At first I thought it a bit strange, but I was hooked very quickly. If you have never tried it, you really should!
Hand-knit socks. I love them . . .
Nature walks. That is something which both Todd and myself have always enjoyed. We used to go on a walk every day that the sun shone and sometimes in the drizzle. In woods, across fields, down old railway paths, along the canal paths here in Chester, around the walls, along the River Dee . . . Sadly, it is not something we are able to enjoy anymore because my arthritis makes it very difficult for me to go very far without being in pain. I miss our walks, and I am sure Mitzie does too.
Rolling out pastry . . . I love the feel of the floured board as I pass my hands over it. The same with the floured rolling pin. I have a beechwood rolling pin and it feels lovely in my hands. It's heavy and smooth . . . I love turning the dough quarter turns and rolling the pin gently over it. It is very soothing. I love thinking about the pastry we are going to enjoy when its done. Pastry is another one of my favourite things . . .

Music: The World Of Thrill
Musis always thrills everyone. Without music no one live smoothly. Music creates a real taste for living good life. This article would provide the jest of music in human life.
For different people, different things give them thrill. For some, racing in luxurious race cars along scenic yet narrow cliffs gives them shivers down their spine. For some, reading a thriller book or latest gossip. Seeing the whispers tingle in their ears, the wide eyes, the dry mouths and cracked voices is thrill enough for me. Or for some, the century old, seeing their crush makes them go weak at the knees. But as all of the above might apply to me, something that I was always hungry for was music. It's not my passion, no, I don't want to become a qualified bathroom singer, but yes, I respect everyone who ever makes music because it IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT EASY.
First, they have to find a songwriter, singer and record deal maker. Then they have to come up with something original and sing the song. Even if one note goes wrong, they sing the whole verse/ paragraph again. They add special editing to the songs.Then, they have to send it for approval which takes 1 month and finally they look for shops willing to sell their CDs. Then they have to find costumes, cast and setting for their music videos and time it exactly to finish at the same time the song does and have the same transitions. So, you see, it is ABSOLUTE TURMOIL.
Pop music is a widely liked genre. I like rock, synthetic, electronic, indie and normal pop. Observer Drift and Bombay Bicycle Club are some unknown indie pop bands that I prefer over my mom's idolisation, Indian Ocean. But, Julianna Barwick's The Harbinger is a quite boring song. It is an eerie, soft opera playing in the background. But, it is not the music I like; it's the music video. It circulates around a woman that first appears to be dead in a pool but her breathing is so quiet that the listeners do not realise that she's alive. Then the second scene is of a woman(I don't know if she was the same) in a long skirt who changes and runs out. She goes to a room full of water and seems euphoric there. It's quiet scary, actually, the way she smiles and laughs bashfully.
A music video also attracts people. The more animated, thrilling, scary, abnormal, rebellious, mysterious, happy, etcetera a music video is, the more appreciation it will draw. Not only will it go viral on video streamers, but scenes of it might appear in the newspapers, magazines, televisions and reporting channels. This can be a moment to be proud or dreadful, as the person writing or reporting or broadcasting about your video will criticise either well or,... not so well. All in the music industry must be careful as to what content they display in their video. It impounds a bad impression on the viewer, singer and all other people supporting the singer.
There are always song lyrics that I can connect with. So the next time you blast some music in your 48 inch boom box, remember that people have dedicated their lives to provide entertainment for audiences. They have had huge struggles, disadvantages, failures and disappointments, but they kept on trying. And the music that you feel is demeaning is actually the singer's hard work speaking to you, so never discourage. After all, we all have suffered the same things as them.Every time I listen to music that appeals to me, I get that wave of butterflies in my stomach, like a Mexican wave. I know I have written about music before but I'll only stop writing about it when that wave of astonishment will disappear from my stomach (not happening)(ever).

Acne Scarring
Tomball, Texas
After a lengthy battle with acne subsides, any remaining irregularity in texture or pigmentation is permanent and considered an acne scar. Typically, this redness and discoloration may resolve on it's own within 6-8 months, however, any remaining hyperpigmentation and acne scarring is permanent and can be addressed with acne treatment by our experienced staff.
To find out more about acne scars and their removal, visit us in Tomball. You can request a consultation online at our Cosmetic Center or call our office at 281-301-1200.
While medical treatment to control the active acne varies, patients have a variety of cosmetic treatment options available to correct acne scars, including:
- Laser Genesis Treatment – to stimulate collagen production, minimizing scars and redness
- Fractional Laser Treatments – to soften and reduce acne scars by resurfacing the skin
- Injectable Fillers – can temporarily fill out and flatten acne scars
- Helios SPA Acne Treatment – Improve acne scarring with a combination dermaplaning or microdermabrasion.
Did you know?
This common condition affects adults, as well as teens.
During your consultation, we will help you determine which treatment will best provide your desired improvements.

'This is the first time I've looked in a dictionary since my A-levels,' confided a hipster, eagerly flicking through the yellowing pages of my Greenlandic-English dictionary.
The Astonishing Polar Tombola was operational over Friday 5 and Saturday 6 November at the Small Publishers Fair in Conway Hall, London. Helen Mitchell, the fair's organiser, sees the venue as something of a 'village hall for London', and with that in mind I combined an austere arctic aesthetic with a vintage village fête look in designing the tombola.
Pete Kennedy and Catherine Polley play the Polar Tombola
Tombola has its origins in the cold, dark months of the year. The game (which draws its name from the word tombolare, to tumble or turn a somersault) is inspired by the raffle played by Italian families at Christmas time, with symbolic prizes and candied peel. The Polar Tombola is likewise a game of chance, one that turns expectations upside-down, as participants are invited to pick a Greenlandic word from a giant papier-mache snowball, and discover its meaning. Players are rewarded with a Fox's Glacier Mint rather than preserved Mediterranean fruit.
Over the course of the fair around 100 Greenlandic words are taken from the snowball. Everyone is curious to discover the meaning of the unfamiliar word, which frequently demonstrates an eerie synchronicity with their circumstances. I begin to wonder whether I should have set up shop as a fortune teller instead...
The game is intended to highlight the fact that the West Greenlandic language (Kalaallisut) is vulnerable, according to the UNESCO Atlas of World Languages in Danger. Language is especially important in places suffering the rapid effects of climate change: how can non-native scientists hope to study the arctic ecosystem without access to the knowledge of generations enshrined in the languages of the region?
I encourage players who have picked out and learnt a Greenlandic word to leave behind a word from their own language. It's a big commitment to vow never to use a word again (as exemplified in my book proviso), and some people decide not to play: a few punters object to such self-censorship, and others just can't decide which word to leave behind. I certainly give away more Greenlandic words than I claim English ones. While I'm secretly pleased that people want to break the rules, the notion of exchange is important to me.
Abandoned words
The words left behind make a fascinating collection, representing deeply-felt political ideologies, personal histories and aesthetic preferences. For example:
- A woman left the word describing the main symptom of her illness.
- Someone (not the hipster) left the word 'hipster'.
- Someone left the word for loneliness in Korean.
- Someone left the word for loneliness in Korean.
- A conservationist who works with eels left the word 'panda'.
- Someone left the word 'war'.
- One printer left the word 'bespoke'.
- Another printer left the word 'giclee'.
- Most fittingly of all, one woman left the word for a remembered (but unheard) voice ('as in one who is dead') in Farsi.
Night falls, and the last word is left behind
All these words are safely stored away, and will be compiled in a future catalogue on the Polar Tombola. Meanwhile, it is pleasing to think of Greenlandic words in circulation in the UK, with new ambassadors for the language such as artist Steve Perfect, who has been introducing London bartenders to that staple cocktail ingredient, kaggsuk.

Koos Mark
KOOS MARK was born at Leiden, The Netherlands, on August 27th 1944. When he was 6 years old he got his first trumpet lessons from his dad. In 1958 he was admitted to the Royal Academy of Music in The Hague, where he studied trumpet, piano and composition. During his study he already formed part of the Residency Orchestra ("62 – "64). After termination of this study he joined the Royal Military Band as solo trumpet player (from '65 till '"73). From 1973 on he confined himself to other disciplines: composing, arranging and conducting. As conductor he had the musical direction of the theatre programmes of Mini and Maxi, André van Duin and Robert Long. He also pursued the supervision on the production of the musical "Tsjechov" of which the CD was awarded with an Edison. As musical leader he was involved in a great number of theatre and TV programmes in The Netherlands. Internationallyhe was a.o. arranger for artists like Udo Jürgens and Petula Clark. Both in 1993 and 1995 Koos Mark wrote the winning composition for The International Competition for Entertainment Music in St. Gallen Switzerland. In 1994 Koos Mark was asked by Mr. Pieter van Vollenhoven to write the band arrangements for the liberation programme "We'll meet again". This collaboration is now continuated in their new programme "Tin Pan Alley", in which also The Koos Mark Big Band takes care of the musical accompaniment.
Since 1972 this Big Band is one of the most all-round bands of The Netherlands. It played in various TV and Radio productions and performed as accompany band with dance, ballet and musical performances. Also a lot of national singers were and still are accompanied, such as: Lee Towers, Donna Lynton, Thérèse Steinmetz, Soesja Citroen, Robert Long and so on.
In the meantime the band has also acquired a good international reputation. After performances in Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany the Koos Mark Big Band made a big tour in Switzerland in 1995 and 1996, where they a.o. performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival and the "Festivala Internationale du Film de Comedie" in Vevey. During the opening night of this festival the band gave a concert in the garden of Manoir de Ban, the private house of late Charlie Chaplin. This established a nice relationship with the children of this genius man, which yielded in a wealth of music material. Therefor, Koos Mark is now preparing a Concert Show about the life and work of Charlie Chaplin.
On the initiative of Koos a unique CD with pieces of George Gershwin has been produced in 1997, for which he wrote all arrangements himself.

- 13,824,854 members
- 280,106 converts baptized in 2009
- 119,722 new children of record for 2009
- 2,865 stakes
- 344 missions
- 616 districts
- 28,424 wards and branches
- 51,736 missionaries serving
Stakes increased by 47, the largest increase since 1998. Congregations increased 315; slight more than 2008 but much lower than most years in the past three decades. Consequently the ratio of members to congregations worldwide increased to 486, six more than 2008. It should be noted though that congregational growth outside the United States was at its highest rates in more than a decade mainly due to increase in congregations in Africa and Latin America.
Missionaries serving decreased in 2009 by 758; the largest drop since 2004. The number of missionaries serving began declining in the early 2000s from the low 60,000s to 51,000 in 2004. Missionaries serving began to increase to 53,164 in 2006 and has since declined in the hundreds each year.

Have you considered building a log cabin but didn't know how to do it or where to start? We're here to make it easy with our DIY step-by-step guide on how to build a log cabin that covers everything from selecting logs, laying foundations, and constructing a roof. We go through these details steps to help you build a log cabin that you can be proud of. We have reviewed lots of log cabin kits in our time, and we think you should avoid building a log cabin kit. These kits are expensive, unsafe and unflattering. In this guide you will learn how to build a log cabin that is cost effective and beautiful.
This article explains how to build a log cabin from scratch for an owner-builder. We will give you a step-by-step guide; answering dilemmas such as how to treat your logs and how to build a log cabin by hand. We have combined the innovation of the American pioneers, with the technology of today to provide everyone with the opportunity to build their own home.
We recommend that beginners read the whole article, but if you are an advanced builder then you may want to skip ahead using the contents below:
- What you need before you start
- 9 Step Guide on how to build a log cabin
- How to get logs for your cabin
What do you need before you build a log cabin?
Before we get started you're going to need to plan how and where you will build your cabin, as well as familiarize yourself with some of the tools and jargon that you will use throughout the process. We have broken this down neatly into three sections:
- Planning Your Home
- Tools You Will Need
- Jargon You Should Know
Planning Your Home
Planning your log cabin is the most important stage of the build. At the planning stage, you can make your entire house cost less just by making it a little bit smaller. We recommend that beginners start with the easiest, simplest design to build, which is a small, square house. Adding corners also adds complexity and expense that is better suited to more experienced builders.
One of the first decisions to make about your log cabin project is what style of log construction you will use. Many log cabin kits use the full scribe (sometimes known as "Scandinavian chinkless") or saddle-notch methods of construction. Both of those methods require complicated notching of the logs, which is usually requires a trained expert with years of experience, due to the complexity of the work.
But we have great news — there is a much easier method that does not require an expert, or even 10 minutes of experience with a chainsaw. It is called a tight-pinned butt and pass log home. This method does not require any notches at all and goes together very quickly, even if the builder has no previous experience building.
The next step will be to draw up log cabin plans that comply with your local building codes. Call your local town planning department to find out what codes you need to follow, and create your plans accordingly. Lots of owner-builders use a free drafting program such as LibreCAD to draw their house plans on computer. After that we recommend getting your plans checked out and approved by a qualified structural engineer who is licensed in your local jurisdiction.
Finally, go visit your town's planning department with your plans to get a building permit.
Tools You Will Need
To build any house requires ordinary carpentry tools such as hammers, drills, and saws. In addition, you will need a few specialty tools for log building. Those should include (at a minimum):
- Peavey or cant hook (two or more)
- Log dogs (two or more)
- Four foot auger drill bit
- Medium sized chain saw
- Bark peeling spuds
You will also need some tools for lifting the logs to build your log wall. If you are in a hurry you can use a boom truck or telescopic forklift. If you want to save money, consider lifting the logs using a pioneer style block and tackle.
Jargon You Should Know
Throughout the guide you may find terms that are going to be unfamiliar for you – but don't pull your hair out or stand there scratching your head! We're going to cover some of the fundamental terms below, but you may want to contact us if you have more questions.
- Chinking – the material that fills the gaps between logs in a log wall. Many professionals use expensive synthetic products that would cost over $10,000 for a small house. However the Log Home Builders Association (LHBA) recommends inexpensive mortar for chinking, which would cost a few hundred dollars to chink the same house.
- Full scribe – a log construction style that employs notches along the full length of each log to match the log below. Sometimes known as "Scandinavian chinkless" style because it does not require chinking between the logs. This style takes years of practice to do correctly.
- Saddle notch – another notched style that only uses notches at the corners, and has gaps along the length of the logs that require chinking. This style saves time over the full scribe method, but it still requires years of practice with a chainsaw to get right.
- Butt and pass – the only popular log cabin construction method that does not require notches or years of practice. Whole, round, natural logs are stacked and held in place with rebar. This style also has the advantage of not settling like other styles, making it easier to build.
- Settling – a phenomenon that occurs in notched log homes as the logs lose moisture and shrink over time. The walls of notched log homes actually get shorter as the logs get smaller. This can cause windows and doors to be crushed over time, so notched log homes need extra planning and building steps to accommodate for settling issues. These steps add time and expense to your project schedule, and are prone to developing problems after your house is finished. Tight pinned butt and pass log homes do not have this problem.
- Keyway – a special method of fastening a window or door in a log cabin so that it does not get crushed as the walls of the cabin get shorter. Keyways are required in log homes that settle, but not in tight pinned butt and pass style cabins.
How to build a log cabin step by step
Once all your preparations are complete, you're ready to begin the step-by-step instructions to building your very first log cabin from scratch. Don't worry – it's not as daunting as it sounds and with this guide as a reference and our expert advice, we're confident that you have all the tools you need to succeed.
Step 1 – Selecting your logs
One of the biggest myths surrounding log cabins is in regards to the species of trees that are suitable for log construction. Companies that sell log kits frequently claim that the species of wood they use to build their product is superior to other types of wood on the market. But actually each builder generally builds with whatever wood they can get cheap and local (to save on transportation).
We recommend that you do the same. Talk to local loggers, land clearing companies, mills and foresters to find out what species are plentiful in your area, and choose whichever species suits your home design. As a rule of thumb, you can build with almost any species that grows tall and straight. Each species will have pros and cons in regards to strength, rot resistance, and insulation value, so remember to compare those points when choosing your species.
If you want to save money and be kind to the environment at the same time, you should consider building with standing dead trees. Standing dead timber makes great cabin logs, and there is very little commercial demand for it, so it is often free or very inexpensive. Building with standing dead will save you money, save the tree from being wasted, and save a live green tree from being chopped down for your house. Everyone wins!

Step 2 – Treating your logs
Borate wood preservatives are made from of naturally occurring minerals that are useful to prevent fungus, rot and wood boring insect infestations. Borates are considered safe for humans, and they are even used in some laundry detergents to clean clothes (such as "20 Mule Team Borax"). We recommend treating your logs with a borate solution after peeling and again after the walls are up. You don't need to use an expensive commercial product for this — many of our members make their own from a homebrew recipe.
Stain is optional and can help your logs maintain their color. Stain with UV protectant can prevent UV rays from turning your logs a grayish color over time. If you choose to apply stain, you should keep it up with additional maintenance coats every few years.
Tip: Each stain will look a little different depending on the species of log on which it is applied. Use a bit of scrap log from your pile and coat it with different stains to see how they look after they dry (see picture).
Step 3 – Foundation
A foundation needs to hold up the weight of a log house. As long as that condition is met, any type of foundation will do. We generally recommend against using a slab on grade foundation because the lower logs are too close to the "splash zone" where water can hit the ground and splash back onto the logs. Water is bad for logs and anything you can do to protect them will help your house over the long run.
One of the biggest factors when you build a log cabin is to consider when deciding on a foundation type is whether you will build it yourself or hire a subcontractor to pour your foundation. If you are doing it yourself, or if you are building in a very remote location (without concrete trucks) then the foundation you want is probably pier blocks. These are poured concrete blocks that stick up out of the ground a minimum of 18 inches. These can hold up the weight of a log house and also get the logs up away from splashing rain.
If you plan to hire a concrete subcontractor, you may wish to consider cost and which are the most popular foundation types in your area. The most popular foundations to subcontract are a traditional stemwall and crawlspace foundation, or a full basement. Either of those will do the job and can be designed to lift your logs up 18 inches above the ground.
Step 4 – Laying the logs
This step takes some work and coordination, but by now you are starting to truly build a log cabin. Laying the logs is mostly a question about how to lift your logs into place. Logs are heavy and take a lot of work to get into place.
If you are building in a remote area without access to rental equipment, or if you want to build for the lowest cost, you will probably use pioneering tools such as a block and tackle to lift your logs. A few blocks and tackle combined with a towing hitch on your car can lift relatively heavy logs without too much difficulty.
If you want to speed things up and you are close enough to civilization to rent heavy equipment, you should consider renting a telescopic forklift. Rental is in the neighborhood of $1000 to $2000 per month.
Once you have your logs up on the wall, you will need to secure them in place. If you are building a tight pinned butt and pass log home, you will fasten each log in place using short pins of rebar. Your structural engineer will approve the locations and sizes of your pins to produce a strong house that meets earthquake codes, snow load requirements and building codes.
Step 5 – Rafters
As soon as the walls are up, it is time to add the rafters and ridge pole (sometimes called a ridge beam). The ridge pole holds up the rafters, and the rafters hold up the roof. Rafters can be any size as long as they are strong enough to meet snow load requirements in your area.
Traditional "stick frame" builders will usually box in the rafters, fill them with insulation, and put roofing material on top. We think it is looks better to leave the rafters exposed, and build up the roof on top. Regardless of which one you choose, you will end up with a beautiful cathedral ceiling all through your house.
Step 6 – Roof
The roof will be a question of cost vs. longevity and should be decided before you build a log cabin. If you want to do it yourself and save the most amount of money, you will probably go with a traditional three-tab shingle or rolled asphalt roofing. Those are very inexpensive and give you a reasonable lifetime of service length.
If you have some extra money to spend, you might consider putting on a standing seam metal roof. These cost more but last much longer and come with much longer warranties than asphalt products.
If you want to find out more about choosing the right type of roof, read our 4 tips on building a cheaper log cabin roof if you want to save some money in the process.
Step 7 – Floors
The floors in your log cabin will be similar to the floors in any other house. You can build them out of traditional lumber or engineered i-joists. Your finished flooring material should go in last to prevent it from being damaged during construction.
Step 8 – Kitchens and baths
Want to accomplish the ultimate DIY coup? Save money by installing a used kitchen, and replacing it later when the opportunity presents itself. Building a house is expensive and you will have lots of other items to purchase. Start with something basic and functional, and practice delayed gratification. Finish your kitchen with your dream designs a few months or years down the line.
Or if you have the budget, feel free to splash out on your dream kitchen right away.
Step 9 – Finishing and moving in
In a tight-pinned butt and pass cabin, none of the interior walls need to be load bearing. So you can build ordinary stick frame walls to partition rooms inside as well as hide your plumbing and wiring. Most of our members subcontract plumbing and wiring, but you can do those yourself if you have the skills or the time to learn.
Whatever level of finish you require can be accomplished inside and outside. You can build a beautiful show home or basic accommodation. Your decks, windows, doors, and trim all contribute to both the cost and the final value of your home.
One of the advantages of being an owner builder is that you can save money by moving in when the house is livable, but continue finishing at your own pace and budget. Welcome home!
How to get logs for your cabin
What kind of step-by-step guide about building a log cabin wouldn't include information about acquiring house logs for your cabin? Not this one!
The best way to get logs for your cabin is to buy property with suitable trees already growing on it. This will save you money in two ways: first, you don't need to pay anyone for the logs if you already own them. Second (and this is the big one) you will save money in transportation costs. Skidding logs across your property is a lot cheaper than hauling them by truck, and you can do that part yourself.
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) says that logging is "the most dangerous occupation in the United States." We recommend against owner-builders cutting their own trees, including trees that are on your own property. Instead, hire a qualified professional who has his or her own tools and training to do the job safely. Cutting trees down without hauling them is a pretty small job and should not add much cost to your budget.
If you don't have trees nearby, the easiest way to get house logs is to walk into a lumber mill and ask to buy some. They usually have a huge log yard full of logs waiting to be cut into lumber. But this is one of the most expensive methods, and you should avoid it if you can. In our log home building classes we spend a lot of time discussing methods you can use to get house logs — including 4 ways to get your logs for free. We also have a bulletproof 5-step plan for getting your logs cut and delivered, if you have trees that need to be chopped down and delivered to your house site somewhere else.
How To Become An Expert Cabin Builder!
The Log Home Builders Association was formed in 1965 to train and support owner-builders like you build their own log cabins from scratch. What you have read above is just a small taste of the over 50 years of log home building experience that is imparted to the students at our in-person class.
Joining the LHBA gets you access to our class, along with follow up support while you build your house. You will also get full access to our members-only forums where other members exchange tips and tricks and discuss up-to-the-minute best practices. Above all you will grow the confidence to build a log home yourself, knowing that the full weight of the LHBA is backing you up as you achieve your goals.

Republicans Reveal Obamacare Replacement
They hope it's a healthy development. But many are skeptical of the House GOP's just-unveiled Affordable Care Act replacement. The new bill, dubbed the American Health Care Act, eliminates tax penalties on anyone foregoing insurance, instead penalizing those who let their coverage lapse. While the new plan would maintain coverage of pre-existing conditions, it would roll back Medicaid's expansion and stop requiring employers to cover full-time staff. With many lawmakers expressing reservations and Obamacare's popularity at an all-time high, the GOP may have trouble garnering the majority needed to repeal.

The dye was cast the moment Sunday's presidential first round results were declared with President Nicolas Sarkozy set the challenge of having to woo far-right voters to give him a chance at a second term.
Within hours he was promising to get tough on immigration and security and vowing to keep industrial jobs in France.
Sarkozy may be trailing his Socialist adversary but he is refusing to be written off ahead of the May 6 run-off.
One in five voters on Sunday backed National Front leader Marine Le Pen. Although normally more likely to lean to the centre-right, Le Pen is keeping her distance from Sarkozy hoping to cause a route of his UMP party in June's parliamentary elections.
And what of the first round winner? Francois Hollande is still the pollsters' favourite. He has refused to court the National Front. Instead political pundits see Hollande easily picking up votes from the far-left.
But his problem may be his lack on ministerial experience prompting undecided voters to opt for the status quo in these precarious economic times.

Came from the event at Republic club for the presentation of a new vodka launching from Absolut. Elyx is a refined elixir not to mix with any soda, just to drink on the rocks. And the Philippines is the first place to try it in Asia.
Launched in Manila earlier this year, ABSOLUT ELYX is the product of 500 years of vodka-making expertise. The uniqueness of ABSOLUT ELYX lies in the natural ingredients and the traditional artisan methods used to make it. It is crafted from hand-selected estate wheat, and blended with soft and naturally filtered water, providing unsurpassed purity and quality. An instant "contemporary classic", ABSOLUT ELYX is deliberately produced in small batches according to generations-old techniques, using an authentic 1929 copper rectification still, which is the key component to creating the super premium vodka's signature taste.
|Kuya Manzano and Tony Altamimi went together to the event.
Pernord Ricard Philippines' Managing Director, Mr. Kevin Lee, led the night's activities highlighting ABSOLUT ELYX as the new modern classic. VIP guests, artists, and media friends were treated to inspired performances by the Techy Romantics, electronic violinist Princess Ybañez, live ballerina pole expression dance, and explosive music by International DJ J. Espinosa (San Francisco).
|Electronic Violinist, Princess Ybañez, provided the electrifying music for the live ballerina pole expression dances.
And one of the best surprise was to discover the host was my friend and coactress in Marco Polo the musical, which we are preparing for 2014 in Manila and Asean tour.
|Jennifer Blair Bianco, the beautiful host of the Absolut Elyx Party.
Thank you friend Amiel Mendoza for inviting me to join your event, a pleasure. I'll have to start drinking vodka on the rocks from now on then!

It's the Scottish Play, isn't it? If you put Shakespeare and Scotland together in the same sentence then Macbeth is usually what people think you're talking about. And to some extent, why shouldn't they? The play is a wonder – the shortest and punchiest of the major tragedies (though that could be more a function of the contingencies of its survival than of the author's planning), filled with baroque, hallucinatory images of horror. It's enthralled me since I first read it as a child. What's more, it's a play that enduringly conjures up the long winters, rough manners and undressed stonework of a brutal, baronial Scotland. Rough tartans, claymores, and targes all round, even if the play in fact traduces the historical Macbheatha whose name and story it so readily makes its own.
But it's not clear that Macbeth has been the uniquely 'Scottish Play' for all that long – as far as I can tell, this moniker seems not to have achieved much traction before the mid-nineteenth century. And while the composition, performance and publication of this particular work are of course crucial moments in the history of the relationship between Shakespeare and Scotland, the story of that relationship is in fact much more multi-faceted. It stretches from the influence of a King of Scots on Shakespeare's own life and writing, through the reception and publication of Shakespeare's works in seventeenth and eighteenth century Scotland, to the striking appropriations of, and responses to, Shakespeare made by contemporary Scottish writers such as Tom Leonard and David Greig.
In 2011-12, with the financial support of the AHRC, the National Library of Scotland's Helen Vincent and I curated an exhibition on this topic. We took as our focus the world-class collections of early Shakespearean printed books to be found both at Edinburgh University Library and NLS, and we sought to tell the story of Scotland's relationship with Shakespeare through the lives and activities of the people who'd brought these collections together and helped them to find their current homes. We also created a web feature to show some of the highlights of the collections, and provide more information on the collectors, to a wider audience anywhere in the world.

Well as a traditionalist with not much enticing test cricket series coming up within the next year IMO other than AUS in PAK (yes i am discounting Aus in Ind cause i't won't be the same as before & SA vs AUS 08/09 since they always choke againts Australia or neutral series i.e Ind vs Pak) the next real cricketening spectacle is the 2009 Ashes is arond 15 months & it has the potential to match the exploits of 2005 IMO.
To look at England first well post 2005 Ashes if it weren't for the injuries to so many key players, if England could have built on that team a la how Taylor & Waugh did with Australia i'd put my head on block to say England would have been the best side in the world today.
But thats in the past now & well they are building back starting from now in NZ, Home vs SA, away to IND, WI before the Ashes rematch. England have to start from scratch & build back a winnings mentality within the unit as they did between BANG 2003 to SA 2004/05. Plus have to hope the shocking injury curse that is affecting English sports these days eases & so no more casualties occurs thus talismatic figures in Flintoff & Trescothick are back in 2009 & maybe Simon Jones although its obvious he won't be the same bowler of 2005.
If all goes well this would be England's best XI come 2009 IMO:
a solid keeper (i fear the selectors have missed a trick by not Pothas though)
Other players who will obviously be in the very close to selection are blokes like Sidebottom, Strauss, Shah, Key, Bopara, Tremlett, Broad, Anderson.
They were signs againts India if the conditions are very conductive to any form of swing bowlers as was the case in 05 & 07 vs IND & not flat decks with sunshine conditons of 06 once England could build back a fast bowling attack Australia could have problems.
Australia well are in Ponting era & have some interesting challenges coming up no doubt. Ponting has his first sub-continent challenges in PAK & IND of his era which i feel Australia will lose in India since no spinner in Australia has the ability to win test matches in Australia, even though in Lee, Tait, Bracken & (going for a wild card option here in Gillespie if he shows good form) Australia have some fast-bowlers that can bowl well in India conditions. But given that outside Clarke, Hayden & possibly a recalled Katich Australia batting in Indian conditions is very suspect.
Another overhyped SA series home away @ the end of the year awaits, although seeing how Steyn & Morkel go will be sights the fact that SA batting isn't aggressive good enough to put Australia under much pressure i see another one-sided contest unfortunately.
Other tours of WI & NZ inbetween these two highlighted contests shouldn't cause any real heaches for them, but Australia no doubt will want to keep there winning standards up although clearly losing such great players has dented their aura.
The best Australian XI come 2009 could be:
Looking at the side firstly i reckon given that i have no faith in the spin talent in Australia ATM, although that change if someone steps up i am hoping by 2009 that 4-man attack will be rolling.
Hayden being there is a question even though i believe he will still playing then in possibly his final series. He did say he is still enjoying it & he certainly looks as if he could play until he's 40 IMHO. But one will have to see what occurs.
If Hayden is not there in 2009 ATS i would be tempted to throw Hussey up the order even though its a risk i like what i see in back-up for middle-order spots with Hodge, a possibly rejuvented Katich these days & David Hussey than with the openers in Rogers, Divenuto & Hughes with the Ashes just over a year away.
Either way i can't wait for this series to get crackin..

There Are Attempts To Promote No Matter Who Or Whom Above White People
The claims of the alleged superiority of women, over men, in all fields of endeavour, has reached such a nadir, that when tennis-man John McEnroe, dared to contradict the claim, that Serena Williams, was the greatest tennis player of all time, by suggesting that he would place her no higher on the list than seven-hundredth and something, he generated an absolute storm of protest.
In this transgender world, I have yet to be convinced of the actual sex of some of those whom claim to be women. Back in the day, the Western Press, was not at all afraid to declare some of the East German women in the Olympic Games to be men, so why not test the gender of the Williams sisters, around whom there have been dozens of claims that they are men. Some say Serena is bobbing around with a cushion under her clothes, pretending to be pregnant, in preparation for the adoption of a baby.
When Maria Sharapova plays against Serena Williams, it is quite obviously a mis-match, more akin to Princess Zelda against the Terminator, than a fair tennis match, so why not test Williams out against a man with a similar physique?
To have written the above, declares me to be a sort of misogynist, which adds weight to the possibility, that any sexual gender, can now legally lurk behind a claim of being whatever gender anyone may choose or claim to be, to suit any contingency.
What I find to be so confusing, is the sight of bearded men in the street, walking around wearing mini-skirts, in high heels, which suggests there to be an obligation for a 'gender confused' person, to adopt certain dress styles, which would appear to signify a distinct, 'biological' connection, between modern people and the clothes they wear. To put it simply what do clothes have to do with it, and more importantly who exactly is hidden under a Burqa?
Many female friends of mine, went to University or a College of Fine Arts, or some such establishment, from which they gained some sort of Degree. Only a few of them chose to use their qualification, as a 'career,' which controlled their freedom, as a means of earning their living. Many of them, used their talent to earn a bit on the side, by painting or from pottery, which was beneficial for their family.
They are all more interested in the well-being of their children, than they are in any 'career'. None of them make use of Crêches or child-minders, mainly to avoid the conditioning of their children, by the government edicts – which appear to be written by some sort of International body, as the same rules are everywhere at the same time, these days – which are imposed on organisations, which nowadays, take care of children.
They find the recent disclosure that children as young as five-years old, being taught about transgenderism, to be appalling. The next battle will be to demand parental approval, before the administration of the soon to be, 'obligatory', dose of eleven vaccines.
I admit to living a life, in which I am surrounded by those with certain ideas, which correspond, more or less with my own, so my life experience does not correspond with those of the people whom are trapped into a cycle of worry about paying for the basic necessities, with little time left over to reflect on the higher things in life.
Women have been encouraged to believe that the role, which has been traditionally reserved for men, is the best possible option for them. They of course do not expect to be forced into certain types of work, there are after all, jobs in which only men are prepared to engage. This propaganda has lead to a position, where very soon robots will be capable of doing 'mens' work. At which point it will be possible to provide any necessary human being, in a test-tube, or through the use of inseminated surrogates. At which point it will become clear that modern-day women, have already been duped into adopting the role of the 'enemy within,' an aim which the instinctive parasitic nature of women has facilitated, which will signal the demise of the White and most probably, the Black Races. Are you happy about this state of affairs, ladies?
Personally I would recommend that all White Christian people, congregate in Europe, those whom choose to remain in countries in which they will soon be in a minority, must look after themselves, bearing in mind that the Internationally controlled media has been carrying out a relentless campaign of hate propaganda against White people, even as the proprietors of this Media, are blaming Whites for their 'own' crimes against humanity, while our politicians allow these lies to continue. There is an attempt being made to swamp Europe with Black and Brown people, which will soon make it impossible for those of European origin to return, should they so choose.
We, as Christians, are obliged to accept the above dose of blasphemy, without response, simply because we choose to elect politicians whom are either Jews, or bought and paid for traitors.
Jews can only get away with this brutal use of Christians, because our 'leaders' continue to pay, our taxes, to the Central Bankers, all of whom are Jews, whom receive hundreds of billions of Pounds, Dollars, Euros and other denomination of money, every year, in payment for the use of our own money.
Through the use of this money, the Bankers have been allowed to buy the Earth and all of its resources. Their schemes could be curtailed in an instant, should any leading politician have the courage to speak out in favour of closing the Central Banks and each country issuing its own money debt free, which is the way it should be done. The Bankers made deals, in past times with Rulers whom agreed to share the loot with the money-lenders, which is why in the UK for example, Her Majesty's Inland Revenue collects the loot and shares it with the other share-holder of the Bank of England.
These gluttons already own everything, yet they are not content to allow us to live off of the dregs, they are now coming after us for the very water we need to drink and the air we breath, while politicians appear not to have noticed.

By Bryan Dietzler
The Chicago Bears had high hopes heading into their Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. They had thought that their game against the Texans the previous week was a fluke, at least the second half was, and felt that they could overcome the problems that plagued them. The Eagles were high coming off a win heading into the game but they had beaten the lowly Cleveland Browns so that might have watered down their previous victory, at least somewhat. The Bears stated all week they had made adjustments and were ready for the Eagles. Was this to be their first victory of the season?
But Chicago only showed short flashes of continuity and solidity on the evening as they lost to the Eagles, at home 29-14. The Bears were in control for a short period of time during the game but the Eagles started to get a better handle on what he Bears were doing and, as they have done in the past, Chicago started to break down in certain key areas and not too much longer after the breakdowns happened what was a close game turned into a mini rout.
A lot of fans, as well as some in the media, are laying the blame for the loss on quarterback Jay Cutler. He had the lost fumble and an interception which gave way to something that has happened several times in previous years, exited the game with an injury. Before the injury, Cutler looked a little shaky and out of sync at times but he was struggling with pressure from a decent Eagles defensive line and receivers that were actually covered pretty well.
The running game was not helping Cutler and the rest of the offense out Monday night. The Bears switched up between three backs (Ka'deem Carey, Jeremy Langford and Jordan Howard). Carey exited early with a hamstring injury, Langford had the Bears lone touchdown but didn't run well in the first half and Howard shined and may need to be used more. The Eagles did clamp down on the Bears rushing attack very well and made it a long night for the Bears offense overall.
A decent amount of blame has fallen on Cutler for the loss but anyone who watched the game should be able to see that the Bear's offensive line is not playing well and had a direct contribution to some of the difficulty, if not most of it, on offense Monday night. Bobby Massie looks very out of place at right tackle and got beat several times. Josh Sitton, although a solid player in the past, may still be getting used to playing in a new system. Cody Whitehair is decent but still not quite ready to be an NFL starting center. Remember that this line was "slapped" together just a few days before the start of the season and hasn't had a chance to bond and be a "unit". Maybe in time it will but for now this is not a high caliber NFL offensive line.
The defense did its best to keep the team in the game but the offense didn't give them too much of a chance to rest and recover before they had to be out there again, gassed and attempting to make plays on little rest. What also happened to the defense on Monday night was that, methodically one by one, their starters started to fall like dominos until key starters were out and the defense started giving up bigger plays as a result.
The pass rush was hot and cold on the evening but they faced a quarterback who, although he is a rookie, is a very good quarterback. The Bears had some strange substitutions on the night and the most peculiar one was subbing Leonard Floyd, who was brought in to be a pass rusher in the draft (first round even!) with Lamar Houston (at least until he got hurt) in passing situations. Granted, Floyd has shown himself to be a good run defender but why put him on the sideline in known passing situations? He did get some pressure on a few passing plays and may have been underestimated by some.
The defense kept the Eagles rushing attack from gaining a lot of momentum but they couldn't stop the passing game. The front line cleaned up the trash along the line and allowed the linebackers to get in and make the play but some of the linebackers weren't having their best games. Jerrell Freeman played very well, Sam Acho had some good moments but Danny Trevethan did not play well and got hurt. The linebackers have a lot of potential but just aren't living up to it.
The secondary didn't have starter Kyle Fuller in as he was a last minute scratch. Tracy Porter was decent but the rest of the group was shaky and, as the game went on, started to be taken apart by injury. There was a nice moment out of rookie Deiondre Hall (in deflecting a sure touchdown pass) but then he had some downside (slapping an Eagle after the play was over to draw a penalty). Hall is good but he's not that good just yet. The safeties were ravaged by injuries but the backups are decent but they can't start and be effective for long periods of time.
There were two MVPs of the game for the Bears. Punt returner/wide receiver Eddie Royal had a nice game receiving and then returned a punt for a touchdown. He played well in running his routes, run blocking and, when healthy, can be a solid number two receiving option. The other MVP is punter Pat O'Donnell. O'Donnell is a workhorse game in and game out and has helped out the defense by providing opponents with less than stellar field positon.
A common theme in this game review is injury. Several players were injured on Monday night. Here is an update on where each of them stand as of the time of this writing:
Cutler-Thumb-Reports now say the thumb was injured in week one. There is no timetable yet and it is not known if surgery is needed but it's possible he could be out for a while.
Houston-Knee-He hurt his knee early in the game and is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Trevethan-Thumb-He will need surgery for the injury and no timetable has been set for how long he will be out if he will be out.
Bryce Callahan-Concussion-In the NFL's concussion protocol.
Adrian Amos-Concussion-In the NFL's concussion protocol.
Carey-Hamstring-Not much is known about how long, or if, he will be out.
Chris Prosinski-Calf-Not much is known about how long or if he will be out.
Eddie Goldman-High ankle sprain-Goldman will be out for four weeks with the injury.
After this MASH unit of a game the Bears have a lot of regrouping to do. They will be without several key players for an extended period of time so it's a next man up mentality in Chicago. They have good depth at certain spots but not well developed in others. We are going to see just how good of a general manager Ryan Pace is over the next few weeks.
The Bears will play the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday night. A full preview of that game will be posted at the end of the week.

The current version is 2.7ck11
(change-log), based
on the Unix source for 2.7b5, released 24 October 2015.
read the NCSA license before use.
NCSA does not support this port; please send your comments and requests to
Mosaic supports a superset of HTML 2.0 (RFC 1866), with support for form
widgets and basic
tables and some of the Netscape-specific formatting
extensions. The final version also included support for PNG, GIF and
JPEG images. It was discontinued on the eve of HTML 3.2 (REC-html32)
in 1997, although it necessarily does include some of that standard,
particularly body styling. It does not include CSS support, nor Java or
JavaScript, nor frames. Click the screenshot for a 56K image of
Mosaic-CK rendering contemporary websites, including Google and Wikipedia.
To incorporate these and other fixes, I spun off 2.7b5, the last version of Mosaic released for Unix platforms, into my own Mosaic-CK branch to mark it as distinct. I also wanted to add support for my own systems and other operating systems that the original Mosaic did not build on, but to also preserve the original feel of Mosaic as a historical model on modern computing environments.
Mosaic-CK is not the only branch of Mosaic that is still being developed; VMS Mosaic is still being maintained for OpenVMS systems.
Mosaic-CK, on the other hand, is consciously a two-headed beast: by default a basic, functional browser, but also designed to serve as an educational and historical simulation. If you use the default alternative renderer, then you get a standards-aware browser that improves on Mosaic with UTF-8 and Unicode partial support, better layout and extended HTML parsing capabilities. If you use the classic renderer, however, you see the page almost exactly as the original Mosaic would have seen it, but in both renderers getting the benefits of updated, current OS integration, more robust network code and better protocol support: the best of both worlds. And you can switch rendering on the fly (under Options, Use Classic Renderer).
As the early days of the
Internet and World Wide Web become more obscure and ill-remembered,
Mosaic-CK's classic renderer preserves the feel and style of those
distant, more simple times, while simultaneously with its
enhanced alternative
renderer coming closer and closer to its goal of "Lynx
with graphics" -- a GUI and built-in image support, but a fast, basic HTML
core that views pages in an efficient, utilitarian text-based
manner. This is what
sets Mosaic-CK apart from other browsers and Mosaic forks today.
This version includes MotifMacLauncher, a shell that puts the Mosaic app in your dock, starts X11.app or XQuartz.app if it's not already running, and allows you to switch to and from the app as if it were a regular Mac application. Thanks to Eric Brown for the icon!
You must have X11 for OS X installed first (for 10.6+, use XQuartz; for 10.4-10.5, check on your OS X CDs, or in /Applications/Utilities), and then install our fork of OpenMotif-Mac from Sourceforge for your version of OS X. No restart required. To start, simply double click the executable. See the Readme file for more. 10.4 through 10.11 are supported, on Intel and PowerPC.
Mosaic-2.7ck11-UB.zip (1.7MB)
(Previous versions used IST OpenMotif, but due to SIP restrictions their distribution no longer works with El Capitan, so we're maintaining our own. You should install IST OpenMotif for earlier versions, however, and you can have both installed simultaneously on the same system.)
Because this relies on how much memory you have, and because certain prerequisites are strongly recommended, I'm not providing MachTen binaries on purpose to force people to update their installations. Update your environment, then build from source (see below). Think of it as tough love.
make architecture
will start the process. Although Mosaic-CK contains all the historical architectures that Mosaic formerly supported, I am supremely doubtful it will build as it did on all of them, so they are unsupported. If it works for you, great -- tell me and I will promote those architectures. Right now, only the following targets are supported:
This port builds a statically-linked Mosaic, and assumes that libpng and libjpeg are installed in /opt and zlib is installed in /usr (see installing recommended base packages for MachTen and building libpng and libjpeg in MachTen). At least 256MB of RAM is required to run Mosaic-CK in its default form due to its stack space requirement. If you want to run it on a system with less memory, you will need to reduce the -Xlstack setting in makefiles/Makefile.ppcmt by a corresponding amount. At least 32MB of stack is required for Mosaic-CK to even start (it will crash if you set this too low), so it will not run well (if at all) on systems with less than 64MB of RAM.
For some sites the default stack space is still not enough. If you get random crashes on sites you visit frequently, recompile it with a bigger -Xlstack.
IMPORTANT! Starting with ck9, when you unpack the tarball, exclude the motifmaclauncher/ directory -- this can cause MachTen to crash! Use a command line such as
tar -xv --exclude '*/motifmaclaunch*' -f mosaic27ck9.tar
This port builds a partially statically-linked Mosaic. It requires OpenMotif-Mac 2.1.31+ to be installed to /Applications/OpenMotif21, and expects zlib, libpng and libjpeg to be installed in standard .a libraries to /usr/local (i.e., libraries in /usr/local/lib, include files to /usr/local/include, etc.). It is known to run on 10.4+, but there is nothing to prevent it from running on Panther, or even Jaguar if you still have the X11 Beta. It probably will not run on 10.1 or earlier.
This build script builds for your home architecture only (i.e., it does not make a Universal binary). If you want to make a Universal executable, you can use make uosx, but this requires that the .a libraries for libz, libpng and libjpeg also have been built as Universal which does not happen by default. I don't recommend this to the casual builder. If you want information on this, send me E-mail.
Versions ck9 and later have a motifmaclauncher/ folder containing an Xcode project for building the shell application package. It can be built with Xcode 2.5 or later, but versions without PowerPC compilation will inexplicably fail (you will need to alter the Xcode project to build for Intel only, and if you don't like this, my G5 says phbbbbbbt). Build the raw executable first, then build the Xcode project; it will incorporate the executable into its app package to make a distributable stand-alone unit.
This port, graciously contributed by Jeroen Schot, restores current Linux support; although tested on Debian 5.0 it should work on any modern distro. This port should build a partially dynamically-linked Mosaic, although I do not run Linux locally and you should consider this port experimental. You must have already installed OpenMotif 2.1.31+ or compatible, as well as zlib, libpng, and libjpeg. Chances are your distro includes most of this already. It should compile on any architecture supported by Linux, not just x86. If you build a publicly-available RPM, DEB or other package, I would like to link to it or send people to it; please send me E-mail.
DOWNLOAD SOURCE: mosaic27ck11-src.zip (1.1MB)
I do, however, gratefully accept Makefiles for other operating systems and will incorporate them no questions asked if no source changes are needed to get it to compile. You should work with the sample ones in makefiles/, copy and modify one to taste and/or success, and then hook it up to the targets in the root Makefile.
