Wedding Bouquets in PortugalDecember 7, 2015
There are several different types of wedding bouquets in Portugal, and one that can fit every different style and preference! Whether you prefer the more elegant single colored wedding bouquets in Portugal, or the messy colorful ones, whether you prefer the cascading wedding bouquets in Portugal or the tightly hand tied bouquets, we have the ability to do whichever style you like! You can choose any different type of flower to be included into your wedding bouquets in Portugal.
There are more expensive ones or cheaper ones, being the latter the seasonal flowers. From luxury weddings to vintage weddings, we can create the wedding bouquet of your dream, and ensure that the creativity is not lost in any of our creations. Do not forget that the wedding bouquets in Portugal – yours and your bridesmaid's will be in almost all of the pictures, and it is a crucial part of whatever style of wedding you choose. Therefore, we are here to ensure that you fall in love with your wedding bouquets in Portugal as much as you have with your partner, and also to ensure that you do not get tired of seeing it year after year in all of your wedding pictures!
the most typical styles of wedding bouquets in Portugal
See below which one fits your style!
The arm sheaf bouquets are usually quite sizeable, and are made to rest on your arm. They can include as many flowers as you like, and several different colors. Usually these bouquets are longer in size rather then round and tight.
Wreath bouquets are quite original and more circular than the rest. They look like actual wreaths, and usually are made with only one type of flower. They usually have one colored flower combined with greenery in a circular motion.
Cascade bouquets are held like the traditional bouquet, yet they fall in a cascading motion. You can choose as many flowers as you like to and as many different colored flowers as you wish for! It is a gorgeous styled bouquet, which definitely creates the wow factor to all of those that see it!
The Posy bouquet is a smaller rounder bouquet, which can have all the colors you wished for, however we tend to make them within the same colored palette, so that it has a concise color aspect to it. It is a very elegant styled bouquet, perfect for simple and elegant weddings.
A nosegay bouquet is round and more traditional. The stems of the flowers are all tied with satin, silk, or a more rustic looking rope, creating a place for you to have a strong hold on it. You can use several types of flowers and different colors for this type of bouquet. It can look quirky and fun or quite simple and elegant, providing you with a very versatile bouquet option!
Biedermeier bouquets are completely round and made out of different layers of different flower styles. Usually each layer has a specific color, however this is not a necessity, you can have the whole bouquet in one color. This is a great option as you can choose the 4 styles of flowers you love the most, and ensure that you include them all in your dream wedding bouquet.
Last but not least, the composite bouquet, which is a beautifully styled "one large flower" bouquet. By using petals of different flowers of your choice, put together to make one single big flower, is what makes the composite bouquet. What makes this bouquet so unique and elegant is exactly the fact that it is one big single flower. It is usually made also with one color to give it the real effect of being just one flower, instead of one flower made out of all the different petals.

Somebody worked pretty hard to make the acronym work. (Via H.R.)A submarine's periscope is a useful reconnaissance tool, but it puts the vessel at risk since it can only be used when the sub surfaces. As an alternative, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have created a waterproof drone that can float up from the murky depths and then take to the skies to provide an aerial view.Named the CRACUNS (Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System) the waterproof drone could be mounted to the outside of a submarine and only deployed as needed for additional intelligence gathering—without putting the billion dollar vessel at risk.

"Drop the word terrorist for Islamic violence, and use instead the word: Jihadist Violence."

Personally, I don't think the term "terrorist" is incorrect.

But I do agree that it doesn't make use of known and very useful knowledge: That, when carried out by Muslims, the terrorist act is done in accordance with a well-known and clearly defined doctrine. It's "by the book" Jihad.

I think it's very difficult -- almost incomprehensible -- for Kafirs to swallow that a "RELIGION" can so clearly, adamantly, consistently advocate, applaud and REQUIRE its followers to carry out such terrorist acts.

Regarding "changing things on earth" ... yes, the IRA did aim to do that. But Socialism isn't as "this worldly" as it first appears. There is a definite mystical aspect to Socialism and Communism.

Going back to Islam & Jihad, it isn't just about the afterlife. The doctrine of Jihad has many, many, many "this world" goals.

Controlling territory and the individuals within that territory is a big part Jihad (and Sharia).

"... it would help the cause enormously if we started naming acts correctly."

True. Just want to point out that the term TERROR is very explicitly stated in Islamic texts. To "strike terror" into the heart of the Kafir.

So, you could argue, that certain kinds of Jihad really are terror-ism. i.e. A systematic use of terror in order to accomplish a this-world goal.

Finally ... among the very clear this-world goals of Jihad & Sharia are sex (of the systematic rape kind) and plunder from both the spoils of war and the ongoing subjugation and humiliation of the conquered unbelievers.PRODOShttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673179650846701039.post-91738376914244797722017-06-21T20:51:52.184+10:002017-06-21T20:51:52.184+10:00You're welcome.

Since there is neither Love nor Logos in Islam, AND there is hostility to both those principles -- in themselves AND because they are Kafir principles -- I know what it would NOT look like.

If by "fine line" Nick means, we should treat Muslims respectfully, sure.

Hopefully, such respect doesn't involve going along with myths such as "The Golden Age of Islam" simply to avoid offence.

It would be helpful to treat Apostates respectfully.

On the other hand, Ideologically/theologically, there are no fine lines.

Drop the word terrorist for Islamic violence, and use instead the word: Jihadist Violence. These guys are engaging in jihad in order to martyr themselves. They aren't interested in this life on earth, but the next life. Therefore, 'terrorist' does not suit.

IRA violence was terrorism, because it had the purpose of changing things on earth, and was part of a political group with an ideology and certain goals.

The guy who ran down Muslims outside the mosque was not a terrorist, nor was he a jihadist, he was simply vengeful.

So, it would help the cause enormously if we started naming acts correctly. Begin using Jihadist instead of terrorist, Jihadist Violence instead of Islamist/Islamic Violence, and instead of 'victims of terror': 'victims of Jihad.'

"In the IRA's (Irish Republican Army's) GREEN BOOK … there is not a single mention of God, Jesus, the Bible, Catholics, Protestants or even religion."

"… the IRA looked for guidance to MARX, not CHRIST."

"In complete contrast to the IRA's GREEN BOOK, materials put out by ISLAMIC terrorists are invariably jam-packed with religious references."

Is that true about the IRA?

To check, I went through the IRA's GREEN BOOK.

https://tensmiths.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/15914572-ira-green-book-volumes-1-and-2.pdf

Here's what I found:

"... the Army are intent on creating a SOCIALIST Republic"

"… it seeks a third, SOCIALIST alternative which transcends both Western individualistic capitalism and Eastern state capitalism, which is in accordance with our best revolutionary traditions as a people."

"… The I.R.A.promises a democratic and SOCIALIST state."

"… Culturally we would hope to restore Gaelic, not from the motivation of national chauvinism but from the viewpoint of achieving with the aid of a cultural revival the distinctive new Irish SOCIALIST State."

"… to the ultimate aim of a Democratic SOCIALIST Republic."

And no JC. No God. No Bible. No religion.

Looks like Rev Dr Mark Durie is correct. Again.

Large, invasive lizards take over parts of Tampa Bay | News
Tampa bay, Florida-- Large, invasive lizards are taking over parts of Hillsborough County.
They are called Tegus and they are from South America but have made southwest Florida their new home.
STORY: Exotic tegu lizards breeding in Tampa Bay area
PICS: See pics of the lizards here
Florida Fish and Wildlife have spotted more than 100 of them between Riverview and Gibsonton. They do not belong in the habitat in southwest Florida, and FWC is deeply concerned about the animals that do belong here losing their habitat because of the invasive lizards.
RELATED: FWC says invasive lizards are invading Tampa Bay
"People buy these cute little lizards at the pet store and then they grow to be too big for an aquarium and they are too expensive to feed and then they just set them free in the preserves," said FWC biologist, Tessie Offner.
Offner has spent the last three years catching tegus.
"They produce rapidly, laying between 25-50 eggs at a time," said Offner. "They eat everything from plants to other animals with bones and shells- also amphibians, and birds."
She said their stomachs are so acidic they can dissolve animal bones and shells, like the gopher tortoise's, within days and it comes out like they never ate anything solid.
"We had a whole gopher turtle preserve on our 1,100 acres and now they are all gone," said volunteer horse rescue worker, Marvel Stewart. "We see four to five a week on our property."
Stewart lives in Lithia along with other homeowners who have been reported sightings of the four-foot long lizards.
"One got into our horse shed, and thankfully the horse was not in there at the time, but if it had been it would have been bad because the horse would have bucked, and possibly hurt herself trying to run from the lizard," said Stewart.
The animals are native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina.
The FWC has set out 28 traps in the parkland and dozens more on private property to help catch them.
They lure the lizards in with a raw chicken egg and then trap them and humanely euthanize them.
They have no known predators according to the FWC.
If you see one, take a picture and report it to the FWC at www.IveGot1.org or call the hotline: 1-888-483-4681.

|9x12" pastel on La Carte paper
I have been painting daily for several months now. It has now become a regular part of my life, if I skip a day which happens sometimes because of life it feels a little strange. I love this daily habit and I can see the improvement in my work because of it and it's just plain therapeutic for me!
I am working towards a landscape exhibit in July so I am painting a little bigger now. This is my latest pastel and it's a 9x12", I decided to go smaller first to see if it would translate well into a bigger piece and I think it will, maybe an 18x24 or 14x18".
If anyone out their is thinking about picking up the daily painting habit I highly recommend it! You will see an improvement in your painting and build up a body of work at the same time.

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexicans living abroad sent home a record of nearly $27 billion in 2016, the central bank said Wednesday, amid US President Donald Trump's threat to tap into their remittances to finance a border wall.
The total sum rose 8.8 percent from $24.78 billion in 2015 to $26.97 billion last year, according to the bank.
Cash sent by Mexicans living abroad, mostly from the United States, provides one of the country's main sources of foreign income along with automobile exports, oil and tourism.
Trump has suggested that the US government could seize remittances to pay for the massive wall he has promised along the border to stop illegal immigration -- or halt the transfers to force Mexico to pay.
Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo warned last week that the Mexican government could walk out of negotiations with the United States if remittances are touched.
Although the central bank did not explain why Mexicans sent more money back home last year, remittances rose by 6.2 percent in December, the month after Trump was elected.

If you sustained injuries as the result of being bitten by a dog, it is imperative that you consult with an experienced Fort Collins dog bite lawyer as soon as possible. Injuries from dog bites can be devastating as attacks can lead to physical and emotional trauma as well as costly medical treatment. Depending on the facts and circumstances of the incident, under Colorado law, you may have the ability to seek compensation from the dog's owner for your injuries. To schedule your free consultation with an experienced Fort Collins dog bite lawyer, contact Zinda Law Group today at 970-549-2138.
Colorado Dog Bite Law & Strict Liability
In Colorado, if you were bitten by a dog and the bite caused serious injuries, permanent disfigurement, or the death of a loved one, you can typically file a claim against the dog's owner for damages. As long as you were lawfully present and not trespassing when the attack occurred, you can seek compensation from the owner of the dog even if the owner did not know of their dog's dangerous tendencies or viciousness. In legal terms, this means that the owner of the dog can be held strictly liable for any serious or fatal injuries that someone sustains as a result of their dog's bite. In addition to trespassing, there are also other instances where an owner might not be liable for injuries that their dog's bite caused, including:
- If you were on the dog owner's property and the property had visible warning signs, such as "beware of dog" or "no trespassing;"
- If the dog is a law enforcement or military dog being used for official purposes;
- If the victim knowingly provoked the dog; or
- If the dog was working or performing other jobs on the dog owner's property including, hunting, farming, or herding.
The Colorado dog bite law typically limits any recovery to economic damages like lost wages or medical expenses and does not provide for non-economic damages like pain and suffering or emotional anguish.
Fort Collins Dog Bite/Negligence Lawsuits
If you were bitten by a dog, but the injury was not serious, did not cause permanent disfigurement, or was not fatal, or if you'd like to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, it's possible that you can pursue a negligence claim against the owner of the dog. In negligence actions, you usually are required to prove that the owner of the dog failed to use reasonable care to control or restrain their dog and that this failure was the reason the dog bit you or caused other injuries. It's important to note that the dog's owner can try to establish that you were also responsible or at fault for your injuries or that you were a trespasser at the time of the incident. If you are deemed fifty percent or more at fault, you may not be able to recover any damages.
At Zinda Law Group, Our Fort Collins Dog Bite Attorneys are Here to Help You
If you or a loved one has sustained serious or fatal injuries as the result of a dog bite, it is imperative that you contact an experienced and dedicated Fort Collins dog bite lawyer immediately. Colorado dog bite laws are complex and it can be very difficult to prove who is at fault in dog bite or dog attack cases. Hiring a knowledgeable dog injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process and fight to obtain the full compensation you deserve. Contact our experienced Fort Collins dog bite lawyers today by calling 970-549-2138 to schedule your free and confidential consultation.

Gentle Readers,
It has been a pretty eventful week for us here at CFYSA. We finally crossed the Cascades and got to the other side of the great State of Washington. This is the Washington people warned us about…the part with the trees and the rain. Except it has not rained. It is simply gorgeous here in the far NW and we find ourselves very fortunate to be visiting fine friends here.
The topography of this state is so rich and varied. So far we have slept in the scablands, the desert, the high mountains, along the mighty Columbia River, in the flaxen fields below Spokane and it seems like the best has been saved for last. We got here a few days ago but the ride was one of those all-nighters which leave you slumped for two days after…at least at my age. We still have not seen the ocean or stepped on a volcano but those are next…
The old HellRaiser is still waiting for us in the garage but is all ready to camp up and down the Pacific Coast Highway in just a couple short months.
Meanwhile, we have some missed news and updates.
First of all, you may be pleased to hear that several expert horticulturalists are taking up the challenge to produce a nice strain of medical marijuana to honor Paul Krassner, who has enriched our lives in ways you do not exactly understand but take our word for it…face it, the guy was not only editor of MAD, he also edited Playboy, Hustler, and numerous other NON-counterculture magazines, aside from starting The Realist. In fact, now that we think about it, all those rejection slips we got from those same magazines when we submitted copy could have been sent by him. We could post his photo but here is one of his books, instead.
We do have a few interviews to be published with Mr. Krassner in upcoming months, one in Beatdom and the other in Seattle's Culture Magazine's March issue. They are on different subjects and the Beatdom will not be available until May, so save up and get a copy then. In the meantime buy the March Culture. We did a story on 'Lenny Bruce VS Racism,' featuring Mr. Krassner and that appeared for sale in just the past two weeks. He just makes a comment on Bruce but we have some other good stuff in there as well!It has Mr. Krassner describing what type of bud he would most like to have named after himself…and that is all we can say.
It is hard to think of Krassner without thinking of comedy. It is hard to think of comedy with thinking of a few fat jokes and it is hard to walk around with fat jokes on hand and not use them in the 'wake' of Chris Christie's adventures. We noticed that he has several cartoon strips dedicated to what him and one about what his presidency will be like. We do not have suitable fat jokes to lay on you at this time but we have sprinkled this blog with plenty of pics of the big guy. (mean-looking, huh?)
Now Christie is in trouble over trying to defeat politic enemies by stopping traffic. He could have done it by laying across three lanes of that bridge himself but he decided to have minions handle it for him. They are not nearly as sneaky and were caught in the act. Last year we interviewed the great poet, Amiri Baraka – who died recently. He lived in Newark, NJ, and told us of the Mayor there being so crooked that he was making money for an insurance company while being paid by the people of NJ…Cory Booker. Baraka felt Booker to be a wrong man and we would have to agree…funny thing is, after we spoke withy Mr. Baraka, a New Jersey Senator died and the empty seat was filled by the dastardly Cory Booker. Who made the decision? Why Chris Christie, of course!
They both want to be president. We are not showing Booker's photo here because you will be seeing enough of his face when they try to run him for president…that is if Obama has not ruined the possibility of a black man taking the position again in the next few years. His antics have caused a lot of racial division and we thought the idea of a black president was to even things out.
Who knows? Unfortunately, this guy does…
Baraka was already on 'the list' for writing the truth about the 911 bombings . The Governor of New Jersey stripped of his title of Poet Laureate because he told the truth. He does not even belong in a silly blog like this but he did warn us about Booker…watch him!!!

No other place on earth offers such splendid conditions for making superior quality cod-liver oil as the coast of Northern Norway. This is the birth place and home of cod liver oil and the people here know more about true cod liver oil than anyone, anywhere else on this planet.
However, things have changed. Although Norway is still a very remote and untouched land, our technological world has unfortunately had a negative impact on the quality of many cod liver oils. Cod liver oils now commonly undergo intensive refining and processing to produce refined, bleached, deodorized and tasteless oils. Beneficial oil-soluble 'minor ingredients' which should remain in the oil are removed by intensive refining. Some of the molecules present in the oil change from being in a natural and beneficial form to an unnatural and possibly toxic form. Fat-soluble vitamins are typically destroyed during this processing. The result is a "derivative cod liver oil" which is NOT the same as the parent/real cod liver oil it was derived from. This is very similar in the way that the fuels used to power our motor vehicles are simply derivatives of naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil found beneath the Earth's surface. The crude oils and fuels derived from them are both very different!
Even more worrying is the fact that 95% of all Norwegian fish oils sold on the Norwegian market today actually come from Chile and Peru! This also means that many of the foreign companies that think they are selling Norwegian oils are not! There are only four main factories in Norway that produce cod liver oil. They produce cod liver oil for about two months during the winter season (approximately 400 tons) and store this oil in tanks. The livers used to produce their oils are actually a mixture of farmed and fresh livers. Some of these livers are also sold frozen, in bulk, to cod liver oil manufacturers in Norway and to foreigners abroad.
The cod liver oil a consumer purchases may be between 1-2 years old! The oil sitting in these containers has to be refined before being sold because it has already gone bad and the reason it has gone bad is because cod liver oil is one of the most unstable fish liver oils. You simply cannot let cod liver oil sit for long periods of time without it becoming rancid. After these cod liver oils are refined, they then add back the vitamins lost through the refining process via the use of synthetic vitamins like vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) etc.
Rosita feels very strongly about these deceitful practices and is one of the main factors that prompted them to produce, for the very first time, the genuine raw Norwegian cod liver oil that their ancestors produced and consumed.

Following the group A profile on France passthesugar has done a little bit of research into one of their more anonymous, yet outstanding, prospects – Yoann Gourcuff. Gourcuff is in a cluster of footballers who haven't quite reached the lofty heights of a Messi or Ronaldo, but have seen their stocks rise considerably to the point where a breakout World Cup could see them become household names. After all, nothing like the World Cup can start the rumours of 7, or even 8, figure transfer rumours and if you can never be considered an all time great without World Cup success on your resume.
The much maligned Gourcuff left Milan and a frustrating spell where he never fully lived up to they hyped expectations for Bordeaux on loan in 2008. At Milan, the Frenchman had been hampered with injuries and consistently left out by none other than Carlo Ancelloti who preferred Kaka. At Bordeaux Gourcuff had an immediate impact, helping the side to the double in France and become a European force. Their defeat to Lyon in their impressive Champions League was a bitter disappointment and may be attributed to a long and continuous spell of football for Bordeaux which has left Laurent Blanc's squad's lack of depth on show. The Les Girondins have been one of the form sides for the majority of the past two years, and it is only recently that they have let their ascendancy slip to the advancing Lyon.
Gourcuff had much to do with their rise to prominence. He is a proper, old-fashioned playmaker, who sends purists into a flurry every time he is on the ball. There's little pizazz or showy tricks in his repertoire (think Ronaldo and Messi), but Gourcuff consistently shows that creative football does not automatically mean flair. However, recently, Gourcuff has been poor, particularly in their Champions League exit. In this piece, we'll show that its more due to the the demise of the classic number 10.
In 2009 Gourcuff was employed by Blanc in an advanced, central role that gave him freedom to sit in behind the frontmen and push forward regularly. Many observers hoped that his role might prefigure a renaissance in the kind of traditional playmaker whose decline in recent years has ben a keen source of regret to purists who salivate for patience and wit.
"I think we're losing that position, that number 10. It feels like there are none left and that's a great pity," said Lionel Messi in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine in August last year. "Football is harder now; it's more physical, there is more contact. It's a shame. Number 10s were players who participated more in the game, got a lot of the ball and who made the game beautiful."
Recently, however, the sparkle seems to have worn off. Their definite slump may be attributable to their stubborn formation. It's been mentioned previously by passthesugar that football has evolved dramatically over the past two seasons, with the now antiquated 4-1-3-2 and 4-2-3-1 being swamped by the new wave of modern set ups. Their main nemeses, Marseille and Lyon both opt for a 4-3-3. Against the traditional 4-4-2 Bordeaux's setup can give their playmaker in Gourcuff time on the ball and space between the defence and midfield to exploit. But these two teams in particular have learnt to crowd this area and stifle the dangerous Gourcuff with a specified holding player.
One of Bordeaux's trademarks in recent times has become their changing formations to match different opposition. The default is the 4-2-3-1 with an option to add Brazillian Fernando up front and sacrifice a holding midfielder if goals are the order of the day. In the 1-1 draw at home to Marseille in January, Blanc opted for a 4-1-3-2 that quickly became a 4-1-4-1 with little effort.. The space in front of the first-choice back four of Chalmé, Michaël Ciani, Marc Planus and Trémoulinas was patrolled by skipper Alou Diarra, with Gourcuff, Jaroslav Plašil and Wendel operating in support of Marouane Chamakh and Yoan Gouffran. In possession, both Chalmé and Trémoulinas pushed well forward, with Diarra dropping back into defence to provide cover and Gouffran moving up front alongside Chamakh. When play broke down Gouffran fell back alongside Gourcuff, with all four advanced midfielders actively pressing Marseille's defenders. Bordeaux took a 1-0 lead when a robust Chamakh challenge prompted Steve Mandanda to spill the ball into his own net and would probably have held on for victory had Planus not been harshly sent off for a foul on Mamadou Niang with half an hour to play. The fluidity of Bordeaux's midfield, in which players like Gourcuff and Plašil are comfortable adopting defensive positions, means the defenders feel safe in exploiting space when they see it, and the Mandanda own goal came from a marauding run and cross down the right by Ciani. (this is shown below)
Bordeaux's flexibility was demonstrated afresh intheir 2-1 victory over Olympiacos earlier this month in the second leg of the Champions League last 16. The team set out in the custom European 4-2-3-1, with Wendel pushing forward from left-midfield at Bordeaux goal-kicks to give Chamakh a target for his trademark flick-ons. (shown above) Plašil would subsequently drop back into midfield alongside Diarra and Fernando, creating what was effectively a 4-3-1-2. Wendel and Plašil's ability to drop deep allowed both Fernando and Diarra to press their opponents high up the pitch, with Diarra on one occasion in the first half chasing his man all the way back to the edge of the Olympiacos penalty area. When Diarra was sent off after picking up two yellow cards Gourcuff dropped back into a defensive midfield position, but Bordeaux were still able to close out the win.
The limits of the side's versatility were finally exposed in their 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat to Lyon when, with Ludovic Sané deputising for the injured Planus and Plašil occupying a midfield holding role in place of the suspended Diarra, Bordeaux were undone by an uncharacteristically nervous defensive performance that saw them concede two sloppy goals in the first half.
On-song, Bordeaux are a fine team to watch, with both full-backs pushing on, Wendel and Plašil buzzing around on the flanks, Chamakh linking the play intelligently and Gourcuff illuminating proceedings with his spell-binding mastery of the ball:
Blanc's impressive set up as made him the firm favourite to succeed the clown Domenech as the French national coach in the summer. Chamakh looks likely to head to Arsenal and interest in Gourcuff will only rise following the World Cup.
The most surprising thing about Bordeaux's 3-1 defeat to Marseille in the Coupe de la Ligue final last month was the apparent ease with which Didier Deschamps's side closed out victory after taking the lead in the 61st minute. With the muscular pairing of Edouard Cissé and Charles Kaboré patrolling in front of the Marseille defence, Gourcuff had no room in which to manoeuvre and he was forced to retreat in similar fashion when faced with Jérémy Toulalan and Maxime Gonalons in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final defeat to Lyon:
Confronted by physically imposing and well-drilled opponents who effectively shut off space in their own defensive third, Gourcuff was made to play further and further from the Lyon penalty area and, despite Bordeaux's desperate need for goals, spent much of his time trying to coax his team-mates into life from inside his own half.
Originally held up as the heir apparent to Zinedine Zidane as France's playmaker-in-chief, doubts are beginning to creep in about Gourcuff's suitability as a true number 10. L'Equipe's football writers last week published their France XI for the World Cup (below) and it featured Gourcuff alongside Lassana Diarra in a midfield holding role, with Franck Ribéry granted attacking freedom in central areas behind Thierry Henry. A panel of experts on French TV show Téléfoot reached a similar conclusion about where Gourcuff should play, while his own father, Lorient coach Christian, feels his son would be better suited to the role of a deep-lying midfielder organiser akin to Milan's Andrea Pirlo or Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso.
To date Gourcuff has failed to convince in a playmaking role for France. He is not helped by Raymond Domenech's persistent use of strikers rather than midfielders in the wide areas of his 4-2-3-1, who shirk their role in the creative process because they are unaccustomed to playing in midfield, but existing trends have already highlighted the need for central creative players to adapt to the quicker pace of the game by changing their position or changing the way they play. Lacking the pace to re-locate to the flanks, Gourcuff's only option appears to be to 'do a Pirlo' and retreat into the kind of deeper role in which he operated during his formative years at Rennes and where he has already played on occasion for his current club. At 23 he and his coaches have a decision to make.
"It's the best position for Gourcuff in the future," said Domenech at the end of last year when asked if Gourcuff could play in a deep midfield position for Les Bleus. "I enjoyed playing further back," admitted the player himself, meanwhile, after slotting in alongside Alou Diarra in Bordeaux's 1-0 home win over Paris Saint-Germain in December.
Should Blanc leave Bordeaux, Gourcuff is bound to follow suit. His likely destination remains unknown but his future position on the pitch may require even more thoughtful deliberation. Quotes like this one: "That goal was no accident." "It showed there was something magical about him. I felt ill when Zidane retired. Watching Gourcuff has cured me. When I see players like him, I feel like a small boy again." from Cristophe Dugarry will mean that the pressure is well and truly on the young lad to perform in South Africa and lead their strong set up to glory.

Summer 2May 1st, 2018 | Posted by in 2017-2018 | 2017-2018 Primary | Summer
Penny and Her Song by Kevin Henkes. Greenwillow / HarperCollins, 2012.
Ages 4-7
Kevin Henkes's debut titles for beginning readers are two easy chapter books featuring a mouse named Penny. Penny and Her Doll begins with Penny in the garden with Mama admiring the roses when a package arrives in the mail from Gram. Penny immediately falls in love with the doll inside, but agonizes over the course of the day about finding the right name for her. The answer turns out to be growing in the garden where Penny was when the doll arrived. In Penny and Her Song, Penny comes home from school with a song she's made up in her head, but has to wait until dinner is over to sing it so she doesn't wake the babies or disrupt the meal. When she finally shares her song, a grand time is had by everyone in the house. Both books feature terrific storytelling, including wonderful dialogue and charming illustrations. And both books are brimming with warmth. © Cooperative Children's Book Center

I admit, I have a weird attraction to Esperanto. We met properly a couple of months back, but we've flirted for years. And now I'm addicted. So instead of estranging my friends and family by subjecting them to more tales of the wonderful language, I've decided to pollute the interwebs with my rantings.So for the unfortunate uninitiated, Esperanto is a constructed language. It is a gorgeous and strange but familiar language. It has a vocabulary with its roots in european languages, and a mostly familiar grammar but with some significant (and interesting) quirks. It is entirely regular, rules have no exceptions. It is an easy language to learn, but yet so expressive, due to some nifty features of the language. However, the aim of this blog, at least to start with, is not going to be a introduction to Esperanto, nor a tutorial. I just want to discuss those aspects of the language that tickle me, and make me want to learn more. So here's a last note about learning Esperanto before I continue:
The best guide I've found for actually sitting down and learning the language is:"A complete grammar of Esperanto" by Ivy Kellerman. You can read for free here, or buy on Amazon or something. It's not a set of grammar rules. It teaches you vocabulary and provides exercises, as a part of a way of introducing the grammatical concepts in a digestible way.The best website for discussions of aspects of Esperanto, a dictionary, exercises, and courses is lernu.net
Lastly, if I get any fact, linguistic or otherwise, about Esperanto wrong, if there's someone who knows the right answer, let me know!

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Broward's new sheriff, with his hat in hand, visited the County Commission on Tuesday.
Scott Israel presented his budget during a meeting at the Governmental Center in Ft. Lauderdale.
Israel is requesting $760.7 million dollars. It's an increase of $93.7 million dollars from last year's BSO budget.
With his predecessor looking on, Israel took some jabs at the prior administration.
While not naming names, Israel was directly critical of former sheriff, Al Lamberti.
"Structurally we came to an agency in disarray. Morale has improved dramatically," said Israel.
"We inherited some outlandish and outrageous contracts," he said referring to the policing services BSO provides to cities in the county.
"The previous administration budgeted $800,000 for payouts only to $4.8 million dollars. It's egregious," Israel said about the shortfall created when he established his new command staff.
Israel's hopes for the increased funding to add employees, replace equipment, and target youth and mental health initiatives.
The response from the democrat controlled commission was lukewarm.
"It's just like any other sheriff's budget, I want, I want, I want. I need I need, I need, all in the name of public safety, public safety, public safety," said Commissioner Lois Wexler.
After the meeting Israel said he was happy with the reception he received from the commission.
As for the $5 million dollar shortfall brought-on by the employee turnover, Israel defended changing staff.
"I'm a strong leader and I put my team in place. We're doing the right thing," said Israel.
Commissioner Chip LaMarca, on the other hand, was critical.
"The men and women who were fired, resigned, or were forced out had their benefits and it had to be paid out and that money would still be in the coffers," said LaMarca.

Old tricks can sound really stupid to most of us, however, not everyone has heard of them. It is old but still useful.
Below is the latest lottery scam via SMS spam by the number +601112069580, as received just a few hours ago.
Your phone No: has won $2,000,000 from UK Olympics lottery Team Held in Malaysia,Contact Mr. Mark James(firstname.lastname@example.com)+60166411542 for payment. Olympic Team
"+60" is the phone code for Malaysia and ".my" country domain represents Malaysia.
It is a kind of "advance-fee fraud", or "confidence trick". If you are still clueless about it, do think of the famous "Nigerian scam" that has started since early 1980s.
The team of scammers would mass spam potential victims using email or SMS to false claim that they have won lottery. We believe if you were to contact them, they would ask you to send them a sum of money in order to "release" the prize money to you. They may even do it multiple times. Of course, they may send you false documents during the process in order to make you believe them. In the end, you will realise that you have forked out a lot of money but not yet to receive the initial prize money claimed.
Please share this scam tactic around with your friends in case they have not heard about it. It is always better to play safe than sorry.
If anyone is free and helpful enough, please contact the scammer via the email address given (use a secondary or fake email address of course, in case they start spamming your personal email account) and pretend to be their potential victim. We would really appreciate your effort to help us find out about how intelligent and creative the scam syndicate is.

This was my second time taking the Fieger family Christmas photos. Last year we took them in a park on an awkwardly lit day and my camera battery spazzed out and died about 45 minutes in (i almost died of embarrassment… i didnt have a back-up!). I didn't get the shots I was hoping for, so i was ready to redeem myself. This year we were taking not only Christmas pictures, but Garrick (their eldest) is graduating from high school so we wanted to take some special shots for that as well. It was a big secret as to where the photos would be taken… their storage space (how original!) and we had a really fun time… but i was kinda disappointed that some of the shots were made slightly impossible to capture because of the low lighting (i am about 2 years over due for a external flash)
ANYWAY: here's some of the final pics… i'm pretty sure I'm still sworn to secrecy as far as Garrick's pictures are concerned, but here's a few family pics for you all to enjoy…
oh and i forgot to warn you… this family is really cute and absolutely hilarious!
in this next one Grace is trying to warn me that the elevator doors are about to close on me… love me some small spaces HAHA!

Jen Pietsch
Orcas Island, WA
I love spending time outdoors, gardening, running and raising my fleeced friends!
The New Kids in Town
Well the babies are here, a couple less than we thought we were having, but everyone a joy. Brooklyn and her mom Trina decided even though they were pregnant in the Fall, confirmed by ultrasound, that they were not pregnant come spring. The doctor told us this is not uncommon especially after the unusually cold winter. "It isn't uncommon. The pregnancy is just reabsorbed." I am not sure what I think of this but…
Orcas Moon Summer Thyme
On Fathers Day, the first day of summer and, coincidentally our son Luke's first communion came our first girl Orcas Moon's Summer Thyme. Manhattan didn't look like anything was happening when we all trundled off to church at 12:30. By the time we made it back less than two hours later here was our new cria, dried off, running in the sun with the herd. Manhattan is a fantastic mother. Being a maiden we were concerned but she knocked our socks off by knowing exactly what to do.
Orcas Moon's Rocky Cilantro
Tinkerbelle our dreamer gave birth next to our bundle of joy, Orcas Moon's Rocky Cilantro on June 30th. Tink was a champ during delivery but, Rocky's temperature was low when we checked it. We decided he needed a warm up with the blow dryer and a couple heating pads. This worked and he was good to go. Once we took him away from Tinkerbelle to warm up she wasn't so sure she wanted him back. It took a little convincing and a lot of holding her still for Rocky to nurse but they are now never apart.
Orcas Moon's Sage Prince
My family has a tradition of going to the new Harry Potter movies always on the first release date. This was not going to change unless well, unless there was a baby coming. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opened here on July 15th in Friday Harbor, just a short ferry ride away. We decided we would go to the 3:30 show. Ember showed no signs of labor all day and when we left to catch the ferry at 2:35 I thought no problem, no baby today. Alpaca usually have their babies in the morning or early afternoon at the latest unless there is a problem. Ember is a very expexperienced mom and has never had any difficulty with delivery.
Apparently Ember didn't have any difficulty because when we came back around 7:00pm there was another perfect cria up and running around with her uber-protective mom Ember.
Now we are just waiting for one more, Mickey is due later this month and we have expectations for another beautiful cria. I'll keep you posted.
Why don't you come on out and see us.
The Chicken Update
The Colonel - RIP
The Colonel, our beloved or for some feared, Buff Orpington has passed on.
Henny Penny has also passed on. She was taken by an eagle the day before the second grade field trip. We were hard pressed to explain the feathers all over the yard.
On the brighter side of things in the poultry world.
Polly (aka Polly the pullet) is a pullet no more and what is even better is that she went broody and hatched us out two lovely chicks. They are currently nameless. I call them one and two. I will try to get a picture of them and you will understand their names better.
What is interesting about Polly and her broodiness is that she sat in her nest box day after day after day. Unfortunately, she was in every hens favorite nest box. All the other hens would get in and lay their eggs on top of Polly. One night I went in and removed 28 eggs from under her, leaving and even dozen for hatching. We are fairly sure that these chicks are not hers- they look very much like a perfect combination between the Colonel and Quetzel.
We couldn't have a proper hen house without a rooster. We were on a rooster hunt. After living with our less than kind Colonel we wanted a friendly guy.
Meet Frank! We found him on Craig's List. He brought along his favorite hen who we have called Henrietta.
The Results are In
Okay to tell the truth -- they were in months ago, and... I haven't shared them with you yet! Here we go:
Funny name serious show, the biggest on the West Coast. The only one of our three that received a ribbon was Orcas Moon's Channel brought home a fourth place ribbon in a crazy tough class of 14. An interesting note about this finish is that the first place and second place winners in Channel's group were the White Color Champion and the Reserve White Color Champion- talk about tough, tough, tough our little girl did amazing!!!!
To determine the Champion of a color group the judge takes the top two animals from each class and judges them against each other regardless of age. It is highly unusual for both the color champion and the reserve color champion to come from the same class (like it did in Channel's case).
Kahana did show in the performance class, which involved him taking Orcas Moon's Autumn Diva through an agility course. He won a 3rd place, some cash and a promise from me that I will never make him do agility again. He will stick to halter showing.
Northwest Alpaca Showcase
Orcas Moon's Autumn Diva took a beautiful 3rd place ribbon in a class of 9 medium brown juvenile females. In her group was the Brown Color Champion. Nice going Autumn! Orcas Moon's Channel again knocked our socks off with a 6th place ribbon in a class of 14. The Reserve Champion was again in her class.
Kahana in addition to showing in the main halter rings participated in a junior showmanship competition where he took a fourth place ribbon. It involved handling and knowledge questions about alpaca.
Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association (CABA)
Orcas Moon's Autumn Diva took a 5th place in a class of 14 medium brown females. The Brown Color champion was in her class, tough competition. Orcas Moon's Channel did great with a 4th place in a group of 8.

McAfee failed to protect against this but did identify it during a scan. But it (McAfee) cannot delete it. I have seen some areas of help which I will tryto remove it but does anyone know what this is and the likely consequences and also why McAfee failed to detect its entry in the first place.
1st of all McAfee isn't worth too much. You may want to unload it and go with something like Avast or Avg.
Now your problem. Download rkill.exe anf Tdss remover to your pc. Start rkill and it will stop tdss from loading. Now run theTdss remover and have it remove the problem. You may also want to run malwarebytes to remove whatever else that is causing roblems
Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
Thank you very much 4Real for that very prompt and useful reply. I appear to have removed the Trojan using Malaware Anti_malware but will check with full scan.
I will also download the rkill.exe anyway and will checkout those other security options against McAfee with which you're clearly unimpressed. I supose like many amateurs I took the easy option and in fact have only recently renewed my subscription!
Thanks again for info and advice.
you should also have some kind of antispyware such as superantispyware or windows defender which has real time protection, as SAS free edition does not, the SAS pro edition has real time protection, yes please get rid or Mcafee its no good i use avast,SAS,malwarebytes, also u should get Ccleaner or Glary Utilites which will clean up your hard drive of unneccesary files,cookies and so on. or you can go with Microsoft Securtity Essentails that an Avast are atops the group in antivirus. if you have any more questions let me know. hope that helps
I am here for a reason.
For help or
To help,
It is very easy to take people like yourselves and the help you offer for granted. I am genuinely grateful that your out there !! Thanks again guys, both for the help and the recommendations.
I've followed all the advice that has been posted here and although this seems to have had some good success, when I try to open the PC in safe mode, it re-boots and simply won't let me do so.
I've run rkill and TDSS remover, followed by a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan which identified a further 4 infected files, which I removed, but still it won't open in safe mode.
Is this connected? and is there anything else I need to do?
CJohn, you would be better off opening a new thread in computing.net so you can get good help and more suggestions ;-)
Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
Thanks for that. I've just started the thread.

Breaking News
Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Trey Metoyer has a problem — he can't stop masturbating in public … this according to police docs obtained by TMZ.
The sophomore — who was a 5-star recruit out of high school — was charged with 2 counts of felony indecent exposure after allegedly throwing a J in public on 2 separate occasions.
Here's the breakdown, according to cops:
8/29/13 — Someone called police in Norman, OK to report a man wearing a blue shirt and blue pants pleasuring himself inside of a red Pontiac Grand Am.
9/17/13 — A woman called police saying Metoyer approached her while she was walking her dog and asked to borrow a pen. She went inside her apt. to grab it and when she returned outside, Trey was outside of her front door"masturbating in front of her apartment."
The woman said Trey then asked her "if she would want the pen back."
We're guessing she declined his offer.
Cops say Metoyer initially denied the allegations — but later acknowledged them and said " the incidents were a mistake and he was not thinking clearly at the time."
Metoyer has since left the football team — so he'll have a lot of time on his hands. Hope he'll keep them in his pockets …

|feature request
Portal lights is a feature mainly intended to focus background photons emission. Correct me if I am wrong but background lighting uses no attenuation for light decay when sampled for the direct lighting component, while when a portal light is sampled for direct lighting, it behaves like a normal area light so inverse square (quadratic) attenuation is used. The result is that portals don't really behave like a background lighting substitute which is its not the intended purpose. While background lighting produces constant shading regardless of the surface location, anything close to the portal light will become overexposed.
The feature request is to allow for no attenuation in portal light direct lighting sampling component and photon emission to first bounce segment in diffuse and caustic maps, at least as an option, so it really behaves like a background lighting substitute. Correct light decay management is very important for render engines to get good results.
There are other issues with portals, for instance when sampled for direct lighting, although they might have no decay, they will eventually produce soft shadows according to its actual size and not according to the background 'size' they are supplanting, but I don't know whether there is an easy solution for that.
Direct lighting sampled from the background. Because of the correct decay, there are just two zones or EV stops between the middle grey everything is using (808080) and the white wall on the right (B3B3B3), which is a realistic asumption if we compare it to how digital cameras work, for instance.
Direct lighting sampled from a portal light which is supposed to be supplanting direct lighting produced by the background, using portal light power=1 since this value is in fact just a background power multiplicator. Notice how the supposedly white wall is now grey because of the incorrect decay and we would need to increase brightness of the wall another zone or EV stop (CCCCCC) to make it look white, which would break any realism.
All tested with the new color pipeline in place.
Finally, there is one last issue with portals, which is the fact that portal power setting work in fact as a background power multiplicator, but it does not control background exposure when portal power is other than 1. However, controlling background exposure with portal power would conflict with other GI methods than photon mapping, so maybe it should be as it is now.
These issues are to be expected from portals, which are helpful for photon mapping but could be the source of all kind of issues once human input is allowed to control which is supposed to be phisically based light emisions.
|» needs review
I'm not sure I understand... I've prepared a simple test scene (attached) and tested without portal and with portal (power 0 and power 1) and I cannot see obvious differences in decay... maybe I'm missing something?
Just try the attached scene with Plane_portal enabled or disabled for Blender rendering and try different power values too. Please let me know how can I replicate this problem.
Correct me if I am wrong but portal light Power setting is in fact just a background power multiplier. If you change background power setting then portal light power changes too even if background Use IBL checkbox is disabled. In order to compare direct lighting attenuation between a background and a portal light, the later should use Power=1 so in fact it uses whatever power setting the background is using. Also when making the comparison:
Doing the comparison this way, in one case only the background is sampled for direct lighting and in the other case, only the portal light is sampled for direct lighting. The feature request is that in either case, the same result is produced assuming the portal may use the same attenuation model than the background. I guess you can also check the code to confirm whether portal light is in fact using the same attenuation model (inverse square) than regular arealights.
Background lighting is not supposed to use attenuation because is hypothetically so far away and powerful that the attenuation factor is negligible when light reachs any object. The same happens for instance with sun lights models. Changing to a non-attenuation model for portal lights means that they should behave like a background or a sun light when sampled for direct lighting, when shooting photons or when sampled by path tracing algoritms.
I hope you can follow my reasoning. I have enclosed a test scene and the results, which illustrates what I mean. Rendered with YafaRay 1.0.0
Just to keep you updated, I'm investigating this and it's really difficult. The sampling from the background light and the sampling from the portal light are totally different! It's not only a matter of square of distance, pretty much everything is different in the way they sample and calculate light.
I will keep investigating this, but it's not going to be solved in the short term...
no problem David, thanks.

We have 2 VVX 401 phones configured with the VVX color expansion sidecars. Currently we have 76 of the 84 available slots configured through our UC platform on Kandy as speed dials across the 3 pages on the sidecar. Only 2 of the 3 pages are showing up, and the 3rd page is blank. Is there, by chance, a hard limit to the number of speed dials allowed to be configured with the VVX 401 phone?
Hello @dzcoeo ,
Welcome to the Poly Community.
Both the communities Must Read First and the FAQ reference the basic minimum information a new or follow up post should contain.
This ensures the questions having to be asked are limited and any new or follow up post contains the right amount of details to ensure any voluntary participant within the community does not spend additional time chasing basic information.
As a reminder the basic information asked for:
UC Software 4.0.0 or later via the Web Interface Utilities > Phone Backup & Restore > Phone Backup > Phone Backup. Please rename into .TXT or Zip the file to attach.
Since UC Software 5.9.0 simply provide this via the Web Interface Diagnostics > Download Support Information Package
Whilst providing some of these details may not directly impact any possible answer the community can provide, it does enable Poly to have an overview of the current software used. In addition, providing all details at the same time allow us to check logs or look up potential support partners if an issue needs to come into support. It also enables us to verify the entitlement for using features.
Are these actual Speed Dials added via the Phone UI or are these BLF/Busy Lamp Field entries?
BLF is limited to 50.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.
Best Regards
Steffen Baier
Thank you for the follow up! We are not configuring this directly through the Polycom UI, rather through our hosted platform on Kandy. The parameters are listed as efk... For example, efk.efklist.76.action.string and then the number$Tinvite$. efk.efklist.76.label and .mname both are set to the user name, efk.efklist.76.status is set to "1". Our platform has these listed as "speed dial" however I can confirm they are being limited to 50 users as if these were BLFs. Should these be listed as lineKey...instead of efk to be listed as speed dial? Or am I missing something. Thank you in advance!
Hi @dzcoeo
you have yet failed to provide the minimum required information we need so we cannot answer you.

Ja Rule is scheduled to be in court today, with a trail starting as early as this week for a 2007 gun charge. In July of 2007 Ja Rule leaving a concert in Manhattan when his Maybach was pulled over for speeding. Police claim they found a loaded semi-automatic handgun in the rear door.
In addition, the car, which was being chauffeured, had no insurance and suspended registration. Mr. Atkins has pleaded not guilty to criminal weapon possession. His lawyer claims the traffic stop was unjustified and has questioned a type of DNA analysis used by the police.
If convicted, Ja will face up to four years in prison. Ironically, Lil Wayne was leaving the same concert when he was busted on weapons charges as well. That charge recently cost Wayne eight months of his life in Rikers Island.
UPDATE: Justice Richard Carruthers told Ja Rule he will serve no less than two years in prison after the platinum rapper and occasional actor pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon stemming from his 2007 New York arrest.
"Because of you guilty plea here today, you'll have a record of having committed a violent felony," Carruthers told Atkins. "This is a very serious matter."
The Associated Press reports Ja Rule's lawyer, Stacey Richman was not immediately available for comment. But according to court documents, New York's strict gun laws dictate Rule was promised two years in prison when he is sentenced in February of 2011.

Commentary for Revelation 4:7 Click here to view
We have here an account of a second vision with which the apostle John was favoured: After this, that is, not only ldblquote after I had seen the vision of Christ walking in the midst of the golden candlesticks, dblquote but ldblquote after I had taken his messages from his mouth, and written and sent them to the several churches, according to his command, after this I had another vision. dblquote Those who well improve the discoveries they have had of God already are prepared thereby for more, and may expect them. Observe,
I. The preparation made for the apostle's having this vision.
1. A door was opened in heaven. Hence we learn, (1.) Whatever is transacted on earth is first designed and settled in heaven; there is the model of all the works of God; all of them are therefore before his eye, and he lets the inhabitants of heaven see as much of them as is fit for them. (2.) We can know nothing of future events but what God is pleased to discover to us; they are within the veil, till God opens the door. But, (3.) So far as God reveals his designs to us we may and ought to receive them, and not pretend to be wise above what is revealed.
2. To prepare John for the vision, a trumpet was sounded, and he was called up into heaven, to have a sight there of the things which were to be hereafter. He was called into the third heavens. (1.) There is a way opened into the holiest of all, into which the sons of God may enter by faith and holy affections now, in their spirits when they die, and in their whole persons at the last day. (2.) We must not intrude into the secret of God's presence, but stay till we are called up to it.
3. To prepare for this vision, the apostle was in the Spirit. He was in a rapture, as before (Revelation 1:10), whether in the body or out of the body we cannot tell; perhaps he himself could not; however all bodily actions and sensations were for a time suspended, and his spirit was possessed with the spirit of prophecy, and wholly under a divine influence. The more we abstract ourselves from all corporeal things the more fit we are for communion with God; the body is a veil, a cloud, and clog to the mind in its transactions with God. We should as it were forget it when we go in before the Lord in duty, and be willing to drop it, that we may go up to him in heaven. This was the apparatus to the vision. Now observe,
II. The vision itself. It begins with the strange sights that the apostle saw, and they were such as these: - 1. He saw a throne set in heaven, the seat of honour, and authority, and judgment. Heaven is the throne of God; there he resides in glory, and thence he gives laws to the church and to the whole world, and all earthly thrones are under the jurisdiction of this throne that is set in heaven. 2. He saw a glorious one upon the throne. This throne was not empty; there was one in it who filled it, and that was God, who is here described by those things that are most pleasant and precious in our world: His countenance was like a jasper and a sardine-stone; he is not described by any human features, so as to be represented by an image, but only by his transcendent brightness. This jasper is a transparent stone, which yet offers to the eye a variety of the most vivid colours, signifying the glorious perfections of God; the sardine-stone is red, signifying the justice of God, that essential attribute of which he never divests himself in favour of any, but gloriously exerts it in the government of the world, and especially of the church, through our Lord Jesus Christ. This attribute is displayed in pardoning as well as in punishing, in saving as well as in destroying sinners. 3. He saw a rainbow about the throne, like unto an emerald, Revelation 4:3. The rainbow was the seal and token of the covenant of the providence that God made with Noah and his posterity with him, and is a fit emblem of that covenant of promise that God has made with Christ as the head of the church, and all his people in him, which covenant is as the waters of Noah unto God, an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure. This rainbow looked like the emerald; the most prevailing colour was a pleasant green, to show the reviving and refreshing nature of the new covenant. 4. He saw four-and-twenty seats round about the throne, not empty, but filled with four-and-twenty elders, presbyters, representing, very probably, the whole church of God, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament state; not the ministers of the church, but rather the representatives of the people. Their sitting denotes their honour, rest, and satisfaction; their sitting about the throne signifies their relation to God, their nearness to him, the sight and enjoyment they have of him. They are clothed in white raiment, the righteousness of the saints, both imputed and inherent; they had on their heads crowns of gold, signifying the honour and authority given them of God, and the glory they have with him. All these may in a lower sense be applied to the gospel church on earth, in its worshipping assemblies; and, in the higher sense, to the church triumphant in heaven. 5. He perceived lightnings and voices proceeding out of the throne; that is, the awful declarations that God makes to his church of his sovereign will and pleasure. Thus he gave forth the law on mount Sinai; and the gospel has not less glory and authority than the law, though it be of a more spiritual nature. 6. He saw seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are explained to be the seven Spirits of God (Revelation 4:5), the various gifts, graces, and operations of the Spirit of God in the churches of Christ; these are all dispensed according to the will and pleasure of him who sits upon the throne. 7. He saw before the throne a sea of glass, like unto crystal. As in the temple there was a great vessel of brass filled with water, in which the priests were to wash when they went to minister before the Lord (and this was called a sea ), so in the gospel church the sea or laver for purification is the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, who cleanses from all sin, even from sanctuary-sins. In this all those must be washed that are admitted into the gracious presence of God on earth or his glorious presence in heaven. 8. He saw four animals, living creatures, between the throne and the circle of elders (as seems most probable), standing between God and the people; these seem to signify the ministers of the gospel, not only because of this their situation nearer to God, and between him and the elders or representatives of the Christian people, and because fewer in number than the people, but as they are here described, (1.) By their many eyes, denoting sagacity, vigilance, and circumspection. (2.) By their lion-like courage, their great labour and diligence (in which they resemble the ox), their prudence and discretion becoming men, and their sublime affections and speculations, by which they mount up with wings like eagles towards heaven (Revelation 4:7), and these wings full of eyes within, to show that in all their meditations and ministrations they are to act with knowledge, and especially should be well acquainted with themselves and the state of their own souls, and see their own concern in the great doctrines and duties of religion, watching over their own souls as well as the souls of the people. (3.) By their continual employment, and that is, praising God, and not ceasing to do so night and day. The elders sit and are ministered unto; these stand and minister: they rest not night nor day. This now leads to the other part of the representation

Exhibit Statement:
Seven professional artists unite to illustrate the environmental challenges marine ecosystems face due to discarded plastic. In its entirety their work guides the audience to an inescapable vantage point. One from which it is no longer credible to maintain a culpable ignorance of the impacts plastic pollution is having on our oceans as well as the wildlife and human populations dependent on them. In combining these works the viewer's journey mirrors the path of awareness and responsibility each artist experienced through intimate exposure to this issue.
Taken together, this body of work is transformative, enabling viewers to interpret their own role in the creation of marine pollution. The exhibit integrates in situ observations with artistic innovation, and bridges the boundary in-between. The juxtaposition of powerful images of environmental tragedy alongside artistically styled works that incorporate discarded plastics prompts the viewer to identify creative measures to reduce plastic from ending up in our oceans, rather than being overwhelmed by the challenge. The viewer ultimately shifts from blaming others to taking personal responsibility, engaged with the marine environment and therefore invested in finding solutions to reducing marine pollution sources.
