I sang many of the songs in this book in church services less than thirty years ago. The political situation in South Africa has changed since Nelson Mandela was released from prison, but I think we used to sing: free Mandela. Open, Botha, we are a-knocking. Thuma Mina. At some point, these things stopped making as much sense as they used to have, but I still like: Ipharadisi, where all the dead are living. May we one day join them, all there: Ipharadisi.

Can women receive sacred orders? Let us consult several authoritative sources. Canon 1024 of the Code of Canon Law states, “A baptized male alone receives sacred ordination validly.” In 1994 Pope John Paul II said, “I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.” And the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has weighed in on the issue more than once. A statement in 1995 read, “This teaching requires definitive assent, since, founded on the written word of God and from the beginning constantly preserved and applied in the tradition of the Church, it has been set forth infallibly by the ordinary and universal magisterium.” And in 2010 the doctrinal congregation stated, “both the one who attempts to confer sacred ordination on a woman, and she who attempts to receive sacred ordination incur a latae sententiae [automatic] excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See.” And so the issue is settled. Or is it?Development of Early Church Ministries Jesus chose the Twelve and others to help spread the word that God was working in the world uniquely through him. After his death and resurrection, local communities of believers formed; and within them leaders emerged or were chosen. In a natural way, the shape of such leadership was often borrowed from contemporary society. There were episkopoi, or “overseers,” in synagogues, who managed finances and sometimes settled disputes, and overseers in the civic world responsible for community projects, like the building of a road. There were presbyteroi, or “elders,” councils of men who formed administrative boards in synagogues and other religious institutions. Adopted by the Christian communities, these offices would develop into the episcopate and priesthood. Very early in the life of the church, around A.D. 55, the Letter to the Philippians names the episkopoi and diakonoi among its addressees. This latter group is our focus. Many ministries contributed to the fruitful life of the community. Some were transient, like speaking in tongues or prophecy, while others, like teaching, required more permanence. In the New Testament, a whole range of such contributions to community well-being are clustered under the heading of the Greek verb diakonein and its related nouns. An inclusive translation of these words would be “to minister,” “ministry,” “minister.” A diakonos in the secular society of the day was someone chosen and entrusted by another person with carrying out a specific task. This meaning carries over in the ministry words found in letters written by or attributed to St. Paul. Such services entrusted to a believer by God and/or the community could range from preaching the Gospel to encouraging the community to taking up a collection for hungry believers in Jerusalem during a famine. In the First Letter of Timothy, which most scholars date at the end of the first century, the word “deacons” appears to be used in a more narrow way. Requirements for the office (3:8-12) are not especially “spiritual” but basic to living with integrity: “dignified,” “not deceitful,” “not addicted to drink,” “not greedy,” “holding fast to the mystery of faith,” “tested first,” “must be married only once and manage their children and their households well.” What exactly the deacons did is not spelled out, although in Acts 6 and 7 they care for the needy and preach. 1 Timothy also stipulates that “women, similarly, should be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in everything.” Much has been written about whether these women are the wives of deacons or deacons themselves. There is good reason to believe that they, too, are deacons. Paul in the Letter to the Romans famously calls Phoebe a diakonos, the only named individual explicitly so designated in the New Testament. Here a note of caution is called for. It would be premature to make judgments about the diaconate today from these passages, since the specific nature of this ministry is not clearly defined.What Deacons Did By the third century, the hierarchical structure of church communities had developed into the now familiar pattern: bishop at the top, then priest, then deacon. Deacons, ordained with an imposition of hands, taught, cared for the needy and assisted in the celebration of the Eucharist and baptism. In some places they administered the finances of the community. Circumstances also created a need for women to serve as deacons. Since persons were unclothed when they were baptized, having men ministering to women would have been highly improper. The same reservation would apply to men visiting sick women in their homes. Women deacons instructed women converts and greeted women who came to the Christian gatherings. There is no evidence that they had a public role in teaching or preaching. By the end of the fourth century in the Eastern churches, they were considered part of the clergy, made so through the laying on of hands. Kevin Madigan and Carolyn Osiek in Ordained Women in the Early Church: A Documentary History, sum up the situation in the East: “Female deacons…exercised liturgical roles, supervised the lives of women faithful, provided ongoing care for women baptizands, and were seen going on pilgrimage and interacting with their own families and the general population in a variety of ways.” Testimony about women deacons in the West is much scarcer and does not appear until the fifth century. Inscriptions from Africa, Gaul, Rome and Dalmatia, for example, each name a woman deacon. The decrees of three church councils in France, in 441, 517 and 533, prohibiting their ordination are testimony that the institution continued for at least 80 years after its prohibition. It is remarkable to note that in 1017, Pope Benedict VIII wrote to the bishop of Porto in Portugal giving him authority to ordain presbyters, deacons, deaconesses and subdeacons. By the end of the sixth century, however, the office of deacon for women outside monasteries was already in decline. One of the reasons given for this is the notion of cultic purity, meaning a suitability to approach sacred places and objects. It was believed that menstruation and childbirth made a woman ritually “impure.” Another factor was the move away from adult baptism—with its attendant nudity and need for modesty—to infant baptism. Communities of nuns would take over the nursing, charitable and teaching ministries without being ordained deacons. By the 12th century, women deacons anywhere were rare. The permanent male diaconate was also disappearing. Tensions arose over the understanding and practice of the ministry of priest and deacon. Many of the services of the deacon were gradually absorbed into the priesthood or taken up by other orders: subdeacons, acolytes, doorkeepers. The diaconate changed from a permanent office into a step on the way to priesthood.The Current Situation In recent years, several Eastern Orthodox Church conferences have called for the ordination of women to the diaconate. The Armenian Apostolic Church, which is not in union with Rome but is recognized by Rome as being in the line of succession to the apostles, with mutual recognition of sacraments and orders, has always had women deacons, though only a few serve today. Their ministry includes service at the Eucharist. But what about the Roman Catholic Church? The Second Vatican Council opened a new era by returning the diaconate to a permanent order. Today about 40,000 men throughout the world are deacons. Knowledge of the historical presence of women deacons would raise the issue of their ordination. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a declaration in 1976 that reaffirmed the exclusion of women from the priesthood. The official commentary commissioned by the C.D.F., however, had acknowledged the existence of “deaconesses” in the early church but was uncertain whether they had received sacramental ordination. The congregation had decided that this discussion “should be kept for the future.” The first draft of what was to be a pastoral letter by the bishops of the United States on the role of women in society and the church appeared in 1988. It stated, “we recommend that the question of the admission of women to the diaconal office” be submitted to thorough investigation and that “this study be undertaken and brought to completion soon.” Differences of opinion emerged as the letter worked its way through discussions by the full body of bishops. When the letter was finally approved in November 1992, it noted that admission to the diaconate was among the concerns women had brought to the committee. The letter acknowledged “the need for continuing dialogue and reflection on the meaning of ministry in the church, particularly in regard to the diaconate, the offices of lector and acolyte and to servers at the altar.” The document was approved for release not as a pastoral letter of the episcopate but as a committee report. The sense of urgency or priority had disappeared. Obstacles to considering women for ordination to the diaconate were formidable. Canon 1024 limited sacred ordination to males, as we have seen. This exclusion was based on the practice of Jesus and the church’s long tradition of ordaining only men and on the so-called iconic argument. Articulated regularly, as in Pope John Paul II’s “Letter to Women” of 1995, the reasoning is that the person ordained is to be an icon, or living representation, of Jesus as bridegroom and shepherd and therefore male. In 2009 a very significant paragraph was added to Canon 1009 of the Code of Canon Law. It states that bishops and priests “receive the mission and capacity to act in the person of Christ the Head; deacons, however, are empowered to serve the People of God in the ministries of the liturgy, the word and charity.” This wording had already appeared in the modified Catechism of the Catholic Church issued in English in 1997. In other words, the diaconate is a sacred order but with a difference from the episcopate or priesthood. Bishops and priests represent “Christ the Head,” but this characteristic is not included in the description of deacons in their service to the people of God. Iconic maleness is not a requirement for them. The International Theological Commission advises the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on important doctrinal matters. In 2002, it issued the results of its study on the diaconate under the title “From the Diaconate of Christ to the Diaconate of the Apostles.” This study also anticipates the change in Canon 1009 by emphasizing that “the unity of the Sacrament of Holy Orders, in the clear distinction between the ministries of the bishops and priests on the one hand and the diaconal ministry on the other, is strongly underlined by ecclesial tradition, especially in the teaching of the magisterium.” As for the ordination of women to the diaconate, it concludes, “It pertains to the ministry of discernment which the Lord established in his Church to pronounce authoritatively on this question.” It leaves the ordination of women to the diaconate an open question. It is rumored that more than one bishop, from the United States and other countries, has raised the issue during ad limina visits to the Vatican.Why Women Deacons? Women already minister extensively in the church. Consecrated religious serve in various fields. Thousands of other women serve in diocesan offices; in parishes as administrators, pastoral associates, directors of religious education, in the whole spectrum of parish life; in hospitals; in prisons. In contrast to the women of ancient times, women today play a very important part in public life, holding high offices in government, business, the professions and education. Cultural reasons to exclude women from the diaconate, at least in the West, no longer apply. Ordaining women as deacons who have the necessary personal, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral qualities would give their indispensable role in the life of the church a new degree of official recognition, both of their ministry and of their direct connection to their diocesan bishop for assignments and faculties. Besides providing such women with the grace of the sacrament, ordination would enable them to exercise diaconal service in the teaching, sanctifying and governing functions of the church; it would also make it possible for them to hold ecclesiastical offices now limited to those in sacred orders. And as the International Theological Commission document points out, what the Second Vatican Council was proposing was not a “restoration of a previous form” but “the principle of the permanent exercise of the diaconate [italics in the French original and in the English translation] and not one form which the diaconate had taken in the past.” Who knows what new and grace-filled enrichment of that ministry might grow from the ordination of women as deacons? The ordination of women to the diaconate is separate from the question of the ordination of women to the priesthood, as this discussion has, I hope, shown. That issue was addressed by the 1995 declaration of Pope John Paul II. Regarding the ordination of women to the diaconate, it is up to episcopal conferences and bishops, to theologians and historians and to concerned Catholics to raise the issue for wider and more public consideration. Listen to a conversation with Bishop Emil A. Wcela.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- Some columns are easier to write than others. This is one of them. Providing all of my research were the "family values" This week, second term Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina disappeared for six days, leaving the state without a chief executive who could make decisions in an emergency. His Republican lieutenant governor didn't know where he was, and had not been given any authority to make decisions in his absence. The state police said they had not been informed. His wife told the Associated Press she didn't know where he was, wasn't worried about him, and thought he was "writing something and wanted some space to get away from the kids" over the Father's Day weekend. His senior aides said he was walking along the Appalachian Trail to "clear his head." But it wasn't his head that he was clearing. When he returned, after first lying to a reporter for the Columbia State who caught up with him on his return to the Atlanta airport, he finally admitted he went to Argentina to meet with a long-time lover. His wife, who was not by his side when he held an early afternoon press conference, later said she and the governor had separated two weeks earlier. The State later produced e-mail love letters it had been keeping since December. The rising young star of the Republican party who was seen as a presidential contender in 2012, the man who was head of the Republican Governors Association until the day after he acknowledged his extramarital affair, the man who had wanted to deprive his state of $700 million in federal stimulus funds as a political message to President Obama, the man who had established himself as a beacon for the sanctity of marriage and the values of the oh-so-pure Religious right, who a decade earlier as a congressman had strongly condemned Bill Clinton's extramarital affair, was not only an adulterer, but for at least the second time had left his state at risk since there were no contingency plans of how to reach him in an emergency. Alas, Gov. Sanford isn't the only "family values" philanderer. Slightly more than a week earlier, Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) admitted he had a nine-month extramarital affair with one of his campaign staff. Ensign, who was contemplating a run for president in 2012, had been chair of the Republican Policy Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Like Gov. Sanford, Sen. Ensign only admitted to the affair after information had been leaked to the media. This is the same John Ensign who, as a congressman, had curled his lips in revulsion at Bill Clinton's affair, and demanded he either resign or be impeached. "He has no credibility," Ensign told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 1998. Six years later, now a senator, Ensign supported a federal ban on same sex marriages by declaring, "Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded. ... [M]arriage, and the sanctity of that institution, predates the American Constitution and the founding of our nation." Ironically, Ensign is active in Promise Keepers, an evangelical group. Also vigorously calling for President Clinton's impeachment, while having had their own extramarital affairs and covering them up or lying about them, were: Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), chair of the House judiciary committee and the "house manager" for the impeachment, who lied about his own four-year affair with a married woman and then when a newspaper published details in 1998 called the affair in the 40s nothing more than a "youthful indiscretion." He retired in 2007 after 17 terms in the House. Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), who was the first legislator in Congress to call for Clinton's resignation and then became one of the leaders of the impeachment movement. Barr's background, however, wasn't family values pure. He never denied committing adultery with his second wife, and later, while married to his third wife, was photographed at what passed as a charity event licking whipped cream off the breasts of two women. Barr left office in 2003, after four terms. Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-Idaho), who was one of the first to call for Clinton's resignation, told the Spokane Spokesman-Review that God had pardoned her sins for her six-year extra-marital affair. Chenoweth left office in January 2001 after keeping her promise not to serve more than three terms. Fourteen-term Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind), chair of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, who not only had a long-time affair with a state employee but had fathered a son from that affair. His website once screamed, "Above all, Dan Burton believes the people have a right to principled leadership and that character does matter." Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho), who told Tim Russert on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" in 1999 that "The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy - a naughty boy. I'm going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy." However, Craig himself was a "bad boy." In September 2007 he pleaded guilty, and then tried to withdraw his conviction on charges that he solicited a man in the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. Several gay men later told the Idaho Statesman that Craig, who was married since 1983, had previously tried to solicit them or had sexual relations with them. Craig resigned in September 2007, and then reversed himself, staying in office through 2008. He did not run for re-election. Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), House speaker from 1995 to 1999, who may have had an affair while his first wife was in the hospital recovering from cancer. Gingrich later cheated on his second wife with the woman who became his third wife during the time he was pushing for Clinton's resignation. Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.), who was Gingrich's designated successor until he admitted his own infidelities and eventually resigned from the House. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who was elected to Livingston's House seat and served three terms before being identified in a prostitution scandal in Louisiana. In 2004, he was elected to the Senate, three years before Hustler magazine linked him as a client of a prostitution service in Washington, D.C. Rep. Don Sherwood (R-Pa), who had a five year affair with a woman 35 years his junior. She later charged that Sherwood had assaulted her several times. He eventually settled for what AP reported was about $500,000. Among those who supported Sherwood during his primary re-election were Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), one of the leaders of the conservative coalition who in November 2005 said that "Compassionate Conservatism relies on healthy families," and President George W. Bush who went to northeastern Pennsylvania to help raise funds for Sherwood. However, in the general election of November 2006, Sherwood was defeated for a fifth term. Rep. Vito Fossella Jr. (R-N.Y.), who, as a first term congressman with a 100 percent voting approval record from the Christian Coalition, was morally outraged at Bill Clinton's personal conduct. A decade later, he was arrested for drunken driving in May 2008. Upon intense media scrutiny, he also admitted that while still married he had fathered a girl, now four years old, with an Air Force congressional liaison officer who was the woman who came to his assistance the night of his DUI arrest. After six terms, Fossella chose not to run for a seventh term. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who had delivered a passionate plea to the Senate on why he planned to vote to convict President Clinton, citing legal issues. However, McCain had previously acknowledged his own several extramarital affairs in the 1970s, and had accepted the blame for the deterioration of his first marriage and estrangement from his children. Add to the list of morally bankrupt Republicans: Five-term Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.) who resigned in September 1995, three years before the Clinton impeachment, after the bipartisan Ethics Committee unanimously recommended his expulsion following charges of sexual abuse and assault by 10 women, most of them either former staffers or lobbyists. Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.), a six-term congressman, and co-chair of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, who had sent sexually explicit e-mails and text messages to a 16 year-old male Congressional page. Foley resigned in September 2006, two months before the general election, long after the Republican leadership had failed to discipline him, and only after a blog stopsexpredators.blogspot.com) and ABC-TV news exposed his hoped-for affairs may have included other staff dating back at least a decade. Rep. Robert E. Bauman (R-Md.), publicly homophobic founder of Young Americans for Freedom and the American Conservative Union, who admitted he had solicited sex with a 16 year old male. Bauman lost the general election in 1980 and later declared himself to be gay. Rep. Donald Lukens (R-Ohio), who was convicted in 1989 of a misdemeanor for having sex with a 16-year-old girl. The "affair" may have begun three years earlier. Lukens finally resigned in October 1990, after having lost the Republican primary several months earlier. Republican leaders aren't the only ones who commit adultery, nor are conservatives or members of the Religious Right, including preachers, solely the ones to have violated the seventh and tenth Commandments. Democrats also have a litany of their own scandals. But, it is the "family values" Republican leaders, who have led the party of right wing moral indignation; it is the Religious Right that has overtaken the party and wears the now-tarnished shield of righteousness to protect itself against anyone who doesn't share their own views of the world, including moderate and liberal Republicans, and anyone belonging to another political party. The hypocrisy and moral turpitude of the leaders is just one reason why only 21 percent of Americans identify themselves as Walter M.

Ah, how time flies. Wasn't it only yesterday that we were watching Zac Efron sing and dance his way through high school? And here he is in "The Lucky One" (Warner Bros.), all grown up and a Marine veteran of the Iraq War to boot (no Parris-Island pun intended). This being a Nicholas Sparks property, we linger by the troubled rivers of Babylon only long enough to learn that Efron's character—Sgt. Logan Thibault by name—has earned the titular accolade by surviving at least two close calls. Logan attributes his good fortune to the photograph of an attractive young stranger he accidentally discovered in the midst of battle. So, on returning home, he seeks her out to thank her. By identifying the lighthouse that looms in the background of the image—what are the odds?—Logan finds himself in the Hallmark card-perfect rural setting of fictional Hamden, La. There the object of his search turns out to be local kennel owner Beth Green (Taylor Schilling). Logan is too tongue-tied, during their first encounter, to explain the nature of his quest -- thus storing up plot complications for the future. But he makes a better impression on Beth's wise grandmother, Ellie (Blythe Danner), who hires him to help out with the dogs. And Logan soon hits it off with Beth's clever-beyond-his-years young son, Ben (Riley Thomas Stewart), as well. Despite some initial resistance on Beth's part—it takes her a full 30 minutes of screen time to wake up and smell the pheromones—and to the dismay of her scheming ex-husband Keith (Jay R. Ferguson), the black-hat town deputy, our two destined lovebirds inevitably fall for each other. Director Scott Hicks confects a serviceable date movie from Catholic author Sparks' novel, as written for the screen by Will Fetters. Attention is diverted from the jumbo improbabilities at work by Alar Kivilo's luxuriant cinematography of Cajun-country sunsets and such as well as by some wry observations from Granny and Ben. But the generally amiable proceedings—which register, at times, like a prolonged iced tea commercial—are marred by a couple of overheated scenes glamorizing the as-yet unwed leads' serial bedroom encounters. Though relatively brief, they strictly preclude viewership by any but adults. The film contains a benign view and semigraphic portrayal of premarital sexual activity, a reference to out-of-wedlock pregnancy, at least one use of profanity and a handful of crude and crass terms. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III—adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13—parents strongly cautioned.

About American Frontiers About American Frontiers: A Public Lands Journey America's public lands are a treasured part of our national heritage, representing its grandeur, bountiful promise, and vast natural resources. All citizens share in the rights and the responsibilities of seeing that our public lands are cared for and managed in a way that meets the current and future needs of the American people. To highlight the beauty, the accessibility, and the benefits of our public lands, the Public Lands Interpretive Association (PLIA), an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based non-profit organization that provides interpretive and educational resources to the public, mapped out a Canada-to-Mexico trek exclusively on public lands, called American Frontiers: A Public Lands Journey. The Journey, or Trek,involved two groups of travelers: one starting north from the Mexican border and the second headed south from the Canadian. Their route lay entirely on public lands, a feat that has never been accomplished before. The trek began on July 31, 2002 and ended two months later when the two teams met in Wasatch-Cache National Forest near Salt Lake City, Utah on September 27. Inspired by American Frontiers: A Public Lands Journey, National Geographic Society has designed its Geography Action! 2002 curriculum around the theme of public lands. Aimed at teaching school-aged children the beauty and the benefits of America's public lands, Geography Action! 2002 followed the trekkers along the two-month journey, highlighting the diversity and grandeur of our nation's public lands. To demonstrate the different ways people get about on our public lands--and to stay within the 60-day limit of the journey--trek participants utilized numerous modes of transportation for this historic border-to-border journey across America. The hiked and backpacked, rode horses, mountain bikes, ATVs and dual sport motorcycles; rafted, canoed, drove pickup trucks, motorboats and 4WD vehicles, and even spent a few leisurely days on a houseboat. Along the route the two teams attended special events, round table discussions, visited schools and communities to learn about public land issues. And, of course, they saw some of the most spectacular scenery of the American West. Their journal entries eloquently describe the feelings public lands awoke in them and also the daily routine of the long trek. You'll enjoy reading them. Three years in the making, American Frontiers: A Public Lands Journey has enlisted numerous partners and sponsors including the National Geographic Society, the Department of the Interior, the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, USGS, National Environmental Education and Training Foundation, Fire Wise Communities, American Honda, Kodak, the Coleman Company, and many others.

- Historic Sites “To A Distant And Perilous Service” Westward with the course of empire Colonel Jonathan Drake Stevenson took his way in 1846. With him went the denizens of New York’s Tammany wards, oyster cellars, and gin mills—the future leaders of California. June/July 1979 \| Volume 30, Issue 4 Three weeks later, in a millrace on the American River in northern California, John Marshall spotted the flicker of gold. By the end of summer, 1849, the Los Angeles garrison, like every other encampment of the New York volunteers, was abandoned, the harbinger of Anglo-Saxon civilization scattered to the hills, the coastal towns and villages of California half-deserted. The little port of San Francisco had become the focus of world migration. Captain Folsom, the staff quartermaster, having secured appointment as collector of the port, was on his way to becoming a millionaire. The Russ family, purveyors of Moroccan leather and holiday fireworks, had opened a jewelry shop and begun assembling an empire of hotels, beer gardens, office buildings, and residential blocks. Sergeant John C. Pulis, late of Lippitt’s monstrous Company F, had become the first sheriff of San Francisco. Lieutenant Edward Gilbert was editing the Alta California , the leading newspaper in the territory; Captain Naglee (he of the bathtime rebellion) had founded the territory’s first bank; Lieutenant Hewlett had opened a boardinghouse; Captain Frisbee had started a commission agency and was in prospect of marrying the eldest daughter of General Vallejo; Lieutenant Vermeule, the plague of Abel Stearns, had set himself up as a lawyer and would soon be elected a delegate to the California constitutional convention and a member of the state legislature; and the Reverend Mr. Thaddeus M. Leavenworth, chaplain to the regiment, had attained the quasi-judicial position of alcalde of San Francisco and was granting homesteads and auctioning public lands with a Christian generosity that scandalized even his former associates. As for the colonel, he was well on his way to a second career (and a second marriage and a second family) as a legal counselor, politician, and founder of a grandiose ghost city called New-York-of-the-Pacific, which endures today only in the name of a slough on the edge of San Francisco Bay. The former New York boys were scattered by then throughout California, styling themselves doctors, lawyers, judges, or capitalists. A few in San Francisco called themselves the “Hounds”—or, on formal occasions, the “Regulators.” They were the first recognizable New York—style drinking-and-marching society in the Far West, and their raucous behavior soon aroused the more orderly citizens of the town to form the prototype of San Francisco’s several committees of vigilance. For better or worse, the Americanization of California had begun.

The worst of the flooding is over in Jefferson Davis Parish, but high water is still preventing some areas from being assessed, officials told state and federal damage assessment teams Tuesday. (Doris Maricle / American Press) (Doris Maricle / American Press) Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 9:38 AM LAKE ARTHUR — The worst of the flooding is over in Jefferson Davis Parish, but high water is still preventing some areas from being assessed, officials told state and federal damage assessment teams Tuesday. Parish Road Supervisor Owen Cormier said nearly a dozen roads were damaged by floodwaters, but that some are still unreachable. Most of the damage included potholes and road surface materials that were washed away by rising water, he said. Cassidy Road of La. 14 and West Niblett Road off La. 99 remain closed because of high water. “There is still water on some of those roads, but it is going down slowly,” Cormier said. Sonja McCoy, spokesperson for the parish Office of Emergency Preparedness, said 24 homes were damaged by flooding — mainly in the Castex Landing area just east of Jennings, Pom Roy Road west of Lake Arthur and the town of Lake Arthur. At least one home in Welsh was damaged by floodwaters. Heavy damage has been reported in the southern part of Lake Arthur, just inside Vermilion Parish. Mayor Robbie Bertrand said lingering floodwaters are making damage assessment harder in Lake Arthur. “The water has not receded yet for us to assess some things,” he said. Much of the concern is for the roads and beach area, he said. “Some streets took a pounding, and we haven’t been able to repair them yet,” Bertrand said. “Before this happened the streets were in one condition; afterwards there is a lot of difference.” The beach area of the town’s downtown park remained flooded Tuesday.Bertrand said cleanup has begun in other areas where floodwaters have receded. Town clerk Cindy Mallett said the town incurred many expenses before, during and after the flooding, including supplies, overtime labor, equipment use, cleanup and fuel. Emergency labor was used to help pump off the water and help secure the levees that were overtopped by floodwaters in several areas. Drainage board and town officials are looking to increase the levee’s height by a foot to prevent backwater in areas considered too low. An individual assessment of the parish’s damage — to include homes and other structures — was completed last week, according to Douglas Zettlemoyer, regional coordinator for the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. Teams from GOHSEP and FEMA, along with parish officials, began public assessments of parish roads, bridges, buildings, levees and other public property this week. “The biggest thing we need to do today is go out and look at all the damage we can and to start with the worst-damaged roads,” GOHSEP disaster recovery liaison Marlys Sanders said. The team will also assess the levees in the Lake Arthur area, she said.

These stunning quilts are sure to inspire quilters. Review of Piec-lique: Curves the New Way - 02/21/2007 Reviewer: Anonymous from Spring Creek, NV, US Sharon Schamber loves the look of needle-turn appliqué. Problem is, she has some physical problems that make it difficult to do needleturn. So she set about creating a way to achieve those smooth graceful curves that come from appliqué using a machine. Her technique, described in Piec-liqué Curves the New Way, is very interesting and best of all, it works. You can create beautiful curved shapes from piecing that look like appliqué using this fast, accurate, and fun method of simply stitching in the fold. Best of all, no pins are required! There are 36 blocks presented in the book and instructions are very easy to follow. Look for this book at your favorite bookseller.

The scientific world is abuzz with news of the ratification of the existence of the subatomic particle called the Higgs boson - or more colloquially, the 'God particle.' This subatomic particle's existence - which was verified recently (with virtually near certainty) by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland - lends credence to several long-standing physical theories such as the so-called Standard Model and the Big Bang Theory. The nickname God particle is ironic for two reasons. First, generally, the nuclear physicists who deal with these matters - postulating the fundamental physical laws of the universe and then setting about to either verify or refute them - tend not to be regular church-goers. While there are some highly prominent scientists who balance personal, religious beliefs with professional, scientific quests, most probably go along with the thoughts of the world-famous physicist, Stephen Hawking: I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. [Interview in The Guardian, 7/9/12] Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God... [from his book; The Grand Design, 2010] So it is a bit ironic that physics' most famous quest has resulted in the discovery of the 'God particle.' Most physicists are quite comfortable having their names associated with famous - even if dead - humans like Newton, Einstein or the afore-mentioned Hawking. One will find few, if any, attributions to deities in the objects that physicists discover and name or the theories they propose. Second, and more importantly, the discovery that the God particle really exists does not - as the name suggests - imply that God played some role in the creation of the universe. In fact, quite the opposite. The matter is discussed at some length in the July 9 Daily Beast by Lawrence Kraus, a well-known physicist/cosmologist from Arizona State University: This term [God particle] appeared first in the unfortunate title of a book written by physicist Leon Lederman two decades ago, and while to my knowledge it was never used by any scientist (including Lederman) before or since, it has captured the media's imagination. What makes this term particularly unfortunate is that nothing could be further from the truth. Assuming the particle in question is indeed the Higgs, it validates an unprecedented revolution in our understanding of fundamental physics and brings science closer to dispensing with the need for any supernatural shenanigans all the way back to the beginning of the universe...If these bold, some would say arrogant, notions derive support from the remarkable results at the Large Hadron Collider, they may reinforce two potentially uncomfortable possibilities: first, that many features of our universe, including our existence, may be accidental consequences of conditions associated with the universe's birth; and second, that creating "stuff" from "no stuff" seems to be no problem at all-everything we see could have emerged as a purposeless quantum burp in space or perhaps a quantum burp of space itself. Humans, with their remarkable tools and their remarkable brains, may have just taken a giant step toward replacing metaphysical speculation with empirically verifiable knowledge. The Higgs particle is now arguably more relevant than God. So the term God particle was first used by a scientist, but was picked up and popularized by the media. It's catchy and enhances interest in the subject among the public. But like so much else that the media promotes, it is misleading and inappropriate.
I've asked my friend Tania to write a little bit about how autism has touched her life. Here is her story. Going food shopping. Going to the park. Driving to school. You know, the common tasks we all do. It may be just as simple as loading your kids in the car, but for me, it's got to be setup as a plan. "Where are we going?" "How long until we're there?" "Which way are we going to go?" Those are just some simple (daily) questions I get asked from my cute 5-year old, who is on the autism spectrum. When he requests his favorite Curious George listening CD in the car, it's not by title, it's by the disk number and track number: 3-2. He has memorized not only the disk numbers/track numbers from the Curious George CD, but he can tell me on any of my disks in my car, the song title and the disk number/track number to THOSE disks in my car. "Where are we going?" "How long until we're there?" "Which way are we going to go?" Those questions may seem very innocent, but I do admit, after a while, the same questions over and over again can be draining. If I go a different way to the store, I have to explain why. If he doesn't want to go to the store, I have to explain why we have to go, and then tell him the sequence of events of what will happen AFTER we go to the store. I think I've trained myself so much that it's second nature to me. Other people may just think I'm a good planner if they overhear me talking to my kids in the store. My 5-year old, despite being on the spectrum, is incredibly gifted. When he was 4 years old, he could count to 1000. Not only that, but he could count by 2's and 3's. He's reading at a 2nd grade level, and can help me cook, because he can read instructions. He's also so very cuddly and just has a sunshine personality. Seriously, this boy can brighten anyone's day by his amazing smile. We're extremely lucky. It's that thing called Autism that can get in the way sometimes.... First, let's talk about Autism. It's a biological disorder that affects approximately 1 out of 100 children. Autism Speaks (www.autismspeaks.org) states there are findings that boys are more susceptible to autism, with 1 out of 70 boys who are diagnosed each year. And the cause? Well, there are different theories out there: genetics, environmental toxins... others believe that vaccinations have made children autistic. This is the area where research is being conducted and, in my opinion, needs to be heavily supported: http://www.earlistudy.org/. ; As for as symptoms to look out for, there are very specific areas: Communication Difficulties, Social Symptoms, and Repetative Behaviors: http://www.autismspeaks.org/whatisit/symptoms.php. ; Usually kids on the spectrum speak later (or some do not speak at all), have little/sporadic eye contact with individuals, have difficulty regulating their bodies (sensory processing disorder: http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/), and have other symptoms as well. Early intervention is so critical with these children. I strongly recommend seeking as much treatment as possible- as often as possible- when your child is young. I remember traveling 45-minutes away, 3-days a week for about a year to a speech therapist to help our son speak. This was when insurance didn't cover a dime. What may be an everyday, typical task for you-- well, it takes me a little longer with a little bit more explaining to do. When you're off with the kids going to soccer practice, I'm off with my 5-year old taking him to Occupational Therapy to help him regulate his body (since his body has a difficult time processing things that are so common to our us -- touches to our skin, food textures, etc. To give an even better example of Sensory Processing Disorder- take something as giving a hug. Someone who has a sensory processing disorder may not realize they are squeezing the other person so hard that it hurts, since that person's body may be under-registering that type of touch.) On the weekends I also take my son to a Social Group, where he needs help understanding social cues and how to interact with his peers. We're so fortunate to have another little boy who is 3 years old who apparently is like a therapist for my oldest son. He engages his big brother into playing chase and board games. It's truly amazing to see how much my oldest son has accomplished.... from barely speaking at age 3 to now, where he makes jokes that has us laughing. He is now on a typical soccer team, and we're already planning summer programming to ensure he is constantly involved in different activities and engages with other children - to help him remain comfortable around his peers. We're so fortunate that our son is mild on the Autism Spectrum, as other families have it much harder. I cannot even imagine how life is for other families. But what I can say is that it's an expensive, exhausting disorder, that you can probably only comprehend if you're living with Autism, everyday, just like we do.

China’s supplies of copper scrap said running down Dec 01, 2010 \| 11:41 AM \| Shi Lili Demand for copper scrap remains firm in China, tightening supplies on the ground and narrowing spreads with the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), market participants said. Yards have been buying in the domestic market because high prices on the London Metal Exchange and Comex make it uneconomical to import scrap. "Although the copper price jumped to a historical high of almost $9,000 per tonne in the middle of last month, we truly found it difficult for Chinese buyers to quote copper scrap at the same rate. So it is totally understandable that foreign suppliers chose to sell their commodities locally in their own countries, since we could not provide a competitive price," according to one Nanhai, Guangdong province-based copper scrap buyer mainly focused on No. 1 and No. 2 copper.....

Argentina Dove Hunting – Do you Have What It Takes Presented by Cheyenne Ridge Signature Lodge Columbia, SC --(Ammoland.com)- by Roger Pinckney: Down at the Plaza de Mayo, the Argentines are beating each other with sticks. The Peronists have stormed their own headquarters and will not come out until they call a bomb threat on themselves. We are a couple of miles away at El Aeroparque Jorge Newberry, and the pilots are on strike. Argentine pilots have not been paid in two weeks, but we are flying LAN Chile. There is no great love lost between the nations. Argentines tell you they are the steak and Chile is the bone for the dogs. If I told you what the Chileans say about Argentines, they would not print it here. So LAN will keep flying, but late. Instead of shooting birds in Cordoba, we are wishing it wasn’t too early for Senor Jack Daniels. Me and Claudette, my second trip, her third. Two hours later there is a stirring at the gate, an Airbus making ready to load. No jetway here, downstairs, across the tarmac and up a ladder. The guncase goes up the conveyor and thumps into the cargo bay. Bringing your guns to Argentina? Not for the harried, hurried or the faint of heart. You send your outfitter the numbers six weeks in advance and he generates the papers on his end. Somebody meets you at the gate and escorts you to an office where special police check serial numbers and collect a hundred bucks a gun, more if they feel like it. A deal if you figure it by the page, the artistic flaring fancy wristwork in stamp, stamp, stamping each individual sheet half a dozen times. Argentines, weary of coups and threats of coups, keep a close eye on guns coming into the country. We have a side-by-side and an over-under, two high-grade Merkel 20s. Merkel was among the German gunmakers who wound up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. The Reds consolidated all the companies into one grand firearms collective to make shotguns for high-rolling Comrade Commissars. When the wall came down, Merkel reorganized and moved into the western market. And that’s where we come in. We’re taking Merkels to a land where Benellis and Berettas rule. We will see how they hold up. But we have to get there first. A bus from the estancia meets us at the Cordoba airport. We are late, but earlier than the sole Argentine flight, which delivers a contingent of Texans. “What yall got in the box?” one wants to know. “Merkels,” I say. This country looks like eastern Montana, broad flat fields, checker-boarded by fence-rows and hedgerows with a line of ragged blue hills in the distance, but the cowboys hanging around the crossroad cantinas wear berets, not Stetsons. One town short, there is a barricade of tires, pallets and sections of drag-harrow, teeth up. Dour campesinos are standing around with sticks. “Do not worry, senores,” the driver says, “it is only the farm protest.” The campesinos thrust leaflets through the windows, wave us on. We arrive at Estancia Los Chanares in time for lunch. Lunch is a serious undertaking in Argentina and will burn up about two hours. Fresh bread, an extravagance of salad, potatoes, steaks, ribs, dove breasts, wine, wine, wine and finally homemade ice cream and fruit cobbler. We waddle from the table and get introduced around. Alex, a Columbian and lifelong hunting guide, runs the lodge. His wife, Jessica, a veteran restauranteur from Buenos Aries, runs the kitchen. Martin organizes the shoots, ramrods the bird boys and fixes the guns when they need fixing, which is more often than you might expect. Most estancias offer shooting wintertimes to help spread out the pesos – and to thin flocks that can easily flatten a grainfield in an afternoon. But Estancia los Chanares manages crops for the birds, instead. The lodge is grand enough for any exiled ex-presidente, white stucco, fireplaces everywhere, formal gardens, swimming pool, red tile roof and red tile floors. The fields are angular and irregular, troublesome for agriculture but perfect for food plots. All around are rotten stone hills of impenetrable thornbushes – chanares – hence the name of this distant, obscure and excellent place. We meet our bird boys at the first stop, Hugo and Juan, brothers in their early 20s, swarthy, beady-eyed and diligent. Two cases of shells, two field-seats, two coolers of water and Quilmes, the favored local brew, feed sacks for the birds and the empty shells. They lead us to a makeshift blind strung between two thorn trees. They break out the shells – Orbeas made right up the road in Tucuman – and we break out the guns. Hugo and Juan tip boxes and the shells rattle into our vest pockets. I learn a lot that day. You can only shoot one bird at a time. A ventilated rib is a radiator. Your gun will cool faster open and propped vertically against a convenient tree. Finally, don’t forget your shooting gloves. Splat – blood across my glasses. The new checkering has worn the hide right off my thumb. “You boys got any band aids?” “No, senor, but Martin will have them when he brings more shells.” “Si, senor, these two cases will not last you so long.” Winter daylight comes late in these latitudes. Reveille at eight, a bounteous breakfast at 8:30. Alex and I linger over coffee. “How many birds do you have?” He smiles. “Twenty millions? Forty millions? Who knows? We have the largest dove roost in all of Argentina.” We ride to the morning shoot with a new arrival, Harvey Alexander from London. He’s ecstatic. “I can fly first class from London to Buenos Aires and shoot here for less than it costs me to shoot driven grouse in England!” We find Hugo and Juan on a foot-trail atop the brow of a long hogback ridge. There is a brightening field on one side, thornbush tangle on the other. After the pickup rattles away we notice a sound persistent as distant surf, as if the earth itself is breathing. Millions upon countless millions of doves are cooing up the morning. Already the air is full of them and the green hills echo with the crackle of gunfire. But how many doves can a man shoot? How many birds does a man want to shoot? Last year another Texan tried to figure it out. He shot 6,016 doves in 11 hours using three extended magazine Benellis. He kept three bird boys busy, two loading, one counting. Not sure of his shell bill, his hospital bill either. A couple of hours into it, Claudette cusses. A fine screw in the forend hardware has worked itself loose. “Y’all got a screwdriver?” “No, senor, Martin will bring when he brings more shells.” I sit crosslegged in tall grass and pull the forearm off the gun. The screw retains a cam that cocks the top barrel ejector. “If we can’t get us a screwdriver, we won’t need more shells.” “No problemo, senor,” Hugo says and pulls a battered jack knife from his jeans. I baby the screw with a thumbnail instead. My nail splits, but the gun will shoot. We break for lunch, I peel the forend again and pass it to Martin. He returns it with ceremonial flourish right at the table, along with an eyeglass screwdriver, custom ground to fit the fine Merkel screw. Back in business, for awhile anyway. A couple dozen boxes into the afternoon shoot, the double bellers and slaps my already pulverized shoulder twice as hard as expected. I reckon somebody in Tucuman got careless with his powder dipper. Juan comes to my side, looks over my battered shoulder as I puzzle over the gun. “It has fired twice, senor.” He’s right. “Martin!” On our way out of the fields, we pick up one of the Texans holding what’s left of a semi-auto. The receiver literally fell apart in his hands. “I was hoping to shoot a thousand birds today,” he bemoans, “but damnit, all I got was seven-fifty.” Nothing serious. An aluminum receiver with egged-out holes. The pins that secure the trigger group fell into the thorn tree leaves. Martin has a zip-lock of them back at the estancia. I quiz Martin. “How many rounds been through that gun?” He shrugs. “In two years, maybe fifty thousand.” “Fifty thousand? How do your over-unders stand up?” “They break hammers around sixty thousand. I can adjust them, but then they break springs.” “What’s the absolutely toughest gun?” “The Browning Citori, senor. But the firing pins erode . . .” Clang, clang, bang. A wind is roaring down the Andes and every rattly piece of metal, every gate, every loose board for a hundred miles is picking up the lunatic rhythm. Clang, clang, clang. I ease out of bed and pad down to the great room looking for coffee. Harvey Alexander, the wandering Britt, is hooked over a Cuban cigar and his cell phone. The cigar works, the phone doesn’t. I leave my doubling Merkel on the gunrack and hornswoggle Martin out of one of the house guns, a Beretta Silver Pigeon 28. It’s only a year old, the checkering has worn right off the stock, but it functions flawlessly. And Brothers and Sisters, I am here to testify that you can kill the hell out of doves with a 28. I drop the first 16 straight. I tell you this not to brag, but only so you can share my astonishment. Forty yards, sixty yards, doesn’t matter. Deadly beyond belief. Claudette is shooting the Merkel over-under and besides having to keep after the troublesome screw, she is dropping birds left and right. But the wind is still ripping. We are shooting from a hole hacked out of the thornbushes halfway down a steep ridge. Birds careening downwind are just an impossible blur. Upwind it’s a little better. Upwind or down, the birds can’t see us until they are right on top of us. But we can’t see them either and have only about two seconds to mount, swing and fire. Maybe you never reckoned wingshooting an endurance sport, but here in Argentina it is. Three days and it shows. Poor us, too tired to shoot anymore. We let the guns cool down one last time, crack a Quilmes. Back at the estancia, they have a fire roaring in the outside pit and the liquor is going down. “The girls are coming out from Cordoba,” Alex announces. “Who wants a massage?” Eighteen hands in the air. The bus is idling in the driveway. We powwow with Alex and settle our shell bill, painful at ten bucks a box. That’s the way they do it down here, turn you loose in a blizzard of birds and keep careful count. Between the two of us, we have downed a thousand birds, an affront, an insult, a mockery. But Alex acknowledges our sensibilities. “We have a couple from Sweden who come every year. They enjoy themselves but will only shoot five hundred birds each,” he pauses, then adds, “a day.” Halfway to the airport, there is a monumental jam of trucks and cars and buses. The campesinos are still at it. Our driver hooks a hard right and takes us cross-country. After three or four miles eating dust, we are clear of the campesinos and on the main road again. Back at our Buenos Aires hotel we are met by a harried bell captain who passes us a printed notice: “There are some issues of local concern that have prompted rallies at the Plaza de Mayo . . . ” We wake next morning to a rumble as pervasive as ten million doves cooing, heady as a wind coming off the Andes. Fifty thousand campesinos have bolted the pampas and are heading to the Plaza de Mayo. Busloads after countless busloads. Musicians on the back of flatbed field trucks. Funky little Fiat sedans with blaring loudspeakers big as the cars. Meanwhile, the government has laid off their legions of clerks, paid them 200 pesos each to go protest the protesters. Claudette considers the proceedings and then glances at the clock. “We have a couple of hours to kill. Let’s slip off to some sidewalk cafe and get us one good last meal before things bust loose.” Just a snack, a dozen poached shrimp on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes and avocadoes, home-baked bread and the obligatory local wine. Then a series of low concussive thumps comes rolling over the rooftops. “Hey waiter, what’s all the racket?” He wrings his hands, mops his brow and looks uneasily off into middle distance. “Please do not worry, senor. It is only the tear gas bombs.” Ah Argentina, I have what it takes to love you, a little money, a little Spanish, a little patience, and a great sense of humor . . . Editor’s Note: Roger Pinckney happily reports a drop of lock-tight fixed the over-under and there was nothing at all wrong with the side-by-side. His hand was so swollen, it crowded the selector button to middle position allowing both barrels to fire simultaneously.

Amoeba Music Hollywood Hip-Hop Top Five: 10:23:09 1) Fashawn Boy Meets World (Loud) 2) Jay Z Blueprint 3 Roc Nation/Atlantic 3) Royce Da 5'9' Street Hop (Mic One/TVT) 4) Cormega Born And Raised (Traffic Ent.) 5) Drake So Far Gone (Cash Money) 5) Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pt. 2 (ICEAL) In the number one hip-hop sales slot at the Hollywood Amoeba Music this week is the brand new, rightfully anticiapted album from West Coast newcomer Fashawn, who both released his debut album, Boy Meets World, and turned 21 this week. Congrats to him on both accomplishments. Fashawn is a Fresno, California emcee, whose album is produced entirely by Exile (of Blu & Exile) and who already has about seven mixtapes to his name. He may be young, but he is deservedly getting major props from critics, fans and bloggers, who have all been anxiously awaiting this debut. Some are even going so far as to say that with this release Fashawn willl help rescue West Coast rap and put it back on top again. With a flow that has a distinctive nod to some of rap's best bygone years, the album's fifteen tracks include such standouts as "Our Way," featuring a guest spot by Evidence; “Samsonite Man;” "Bo Jackson," featuring producer Exile on the mic as well as behind the mixing board; and "Sunny CA," featuring Coss & Mistah Fab. The video for "Sunny CA" is below. Jay-Z, who apparently can do no wrong, is still selling well at Amoeba Hollywood, with Blueprint 3 holding down a top five slot even six weeks after its release date. Likewise, both Cash Money artist Drake (So Far Gone) and Wu-Tang member Raekwon (Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pt. 2 on ICEAL) are still doing well. Since they are each selling exactly the same amount of units this past week, they share the number five slot on the chart. Detroit rapper Ryan Montgomery has a new chart entry this week at Amoeba Music. He is of course better known by his stage name Royce da 5'9" and for his early career association with fellow D-Town rap star Eminem. Most recently he was part of the hip-hop supergrpup Slaughterhouse (also featuring Crooked I, Joe Budden, and Joell Ortiz). For Street Hop Royce works again with DJ Premier, who executive produced this new album with production assistance from Emile, Denaun Porter, Nottz, Carlos Broady, and Streetrunner, Frequency. Below is the video for the tight new album track "Shake This." Another brand new release that just arrived in Amoeba this Tuesday is the way overdue Born and Raised by Cormega on Traffic Entertainment. This is the long awaited follow up to both his 2002 album The True Meaning and his debut The Realness the previous year. Straight out of the (hip-hop) historic New York City Queensbridge Housing Projects, the young Cormega grew up alongside such future hip-hop heavyweights as Mobb Deep, Capone-N-Noreaga, and Nas, who featured the newcomer back in 1996 on his album It Was Written in the song "Affirmative Action." On Born and Raised, Cormega is in good company, especially in the production department, with DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, LES, Buckwild, Havoc, and Easy Mo Bee among those lending their skills. Meanwhile, the 14 track album's closing track, "Mega Fresh X," is a virtual who's who of hip-hop with features on the one track from Red Alert, Parish Smith of EPMD, Grand Puba, KRS-One, and Big Daddy Kane. Wow! Below is a video clip from earlier this week in Boston, MA during a live performance by Cormega in celebration of this new release. Lil Wayne surprised many when he copped a guilty plea in a Manhattan court house yesterday to gun possession in return for a promise of one year behind bars for the rap superstar. From a rap music point of view this will only add to his street cred. But it will also add to the time before the New Orleans artist's (already hella delayed and overdue) album Rebirth will finally be released. And finally, if there were an Amoeba Top FIve Hip-Hop Book Chart, no doubt The RZA's wonderful new book The Tao Of Wu would be this week's number one. The book is refreshingly unlike most rap or rock artist autobiographies, which tend to follow a predictable formulaic style. In sharp contrast, the Wu-Tang Clan member's new book reads more like a guide to life, religions and philosophies, all told from a humble yet most insightful perspective. In both New York and Los Angeles at recent Barnes & Noble readings (see video below of the LA reading this week) the RZA packed them in for his engaging reading/book signing sessions.
Catalogs… Our catalogs are written by our full time, in house staff and are among the most detailed and accurate in the industry. We have strong relationships with many of the nations leading arms authorities whom we call on for consultation when necessary. We firmly believe that descriptions written by full time, in house professionals that have direct contact with the consignors prove more lucrative than descriptions written by paid outside contractors. All photography is done in our gallery studio utilizing the finest state of the art digital cameras and computer equipment. One day auctions mean your consigned items are featured more prominently, will garner more interest and subsequently more money, and are less apt to be lost in an array of catalogs. Commission… Our commission rates are among the most competitive in the industry and are all inclusive with no upcharges for insurance, photography or any other of our many services. Payment… In a business where 45, 60 and even 90 day payment terms are the norm, we are proud to say that we make full payment to our consignors within 20 business days from the date of the sale, the swiftest term in the industry. One of the main reasons auction houses take so long to pay is the credit they extend to many of their customers. At Amoskeag, your merchandise is kept safely in house until it is paid for. Promotion… We advertise on a contract basis with the major collecting magazines and journals in America and abroad giving excellent exposure to your merchandise. We seek out specialty publications and collector club publications as necessary to provide maximum exposure of your goods. We also display at major gun shows throughout the country and keep in regular contact with our expansive list of active buyers. At Amoskeag, we understand that collectors want their items to be well cared for and marketed individually for maximum return. Recent advertising trends tout auction companies with large multi-day gross sales. We know that a consignor who had a ten thousand dollar gun sell for six thousand, doesn't care that it was part of an auction that brought ten million. Our goal is a record that shows the largest number of satisfied consignors, not the highest grossing sale in the world.

CRM Software Technical Details Amphis Customer CRM Software Technical Details - CRM for Techies Amphis Customer runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 Pro. In order to generate documents eg Quotes and Invoices, Amphis Customer requires Microsoft Word 2003 or a later version. The quote and invoice templates etc are Word documents and can be edited using standard Word facilities to change text and fonts etc and to add logos and images. The generated documents eg quotes, invoices, letters etc are generated as Word documents and can also be emailed as PDF files (requires Word 2007 or a later version). Amphis Customer can integrate with Microsoft Outlook 2003 or a later version for managing Email, Email Merge, and Tasks and Appointments. On a 32-bit PC, the program files are installed to this location, by default. c:\program files\amphis software\amphis customer v3.0 On a 64-bit PC, the program files are installed to this location, by default. c:\program files (x86)\amphis software\amphis customer v3.0 The customer data is stored in the customer.mdb Microsoft Access Database file which may optionally be moved to a different location eg to share customer data between multiple PCs on a network. It may also be optionally upgraded to a SQL Server Database, for free, for increased scalablity and performance for a large number of users. Amphis Customer supports using SQL Server as the database at no extra charge. The configuration data is stored in the config.mdb Microsoft Access Database file which must always be in the default location on each client PC and should not be upgraded to SQL Server. Amphis Customer looks in here first to determine where the customer database and folders are and whether it should connect to a Microsoft Access Database or a Microsoft SQL Server Database. There are 4 folders used by Amphis Customer :- - Documents - this is where the customer files are stored eg letters or invoices or scanned-in documents - Templates - this is where the Microsoft Word templates are stored which control how documents such as invoices look - Exports - this is where any exported data is saved - Reports - this is where any reports are saved You can easily get to these folders from Amphis Customer from Tools->Folders or from Tools->Configuration. The folders can be moved to a different location eg to share them between multiple users on a network. The configuration details for Amphis Customer are stored in the config.mdb Microsoft Access Database on each client PC. This shows the configuration for a single user using a laptop. This shows the configuration for multiple users sharing customer data and documents on an office network. Note that prior to release v3.0.45 the configuration was stored in the XML config file amphis customer.exe.config but many clients had problems with the permissions for this file as it is stored in the Program Files location, and clients also had problems getting the syntax correct and so we moved the configuration to an Access database which can be maintained from within Amphis Customer from Tools->Configuration. The customer data is stored in the customer.mdb Microsoft Access Database unless the installation has been upgraded to use SQL Server instead of Microsoft Access for the customer data. Note that even if you migrate to SQL Server for the customer database, you still need to have the config.mdb Access database on each client PC. The config.mdb database has a single table called Config which has 6 rows. By default it contains this data. The XML config file amphis customer.exe.config is still used but not for items that the user may want to change. By default, on Windows XP, the customer.mdb and config.mdb files are stored in the 'data' folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Amphis Customer v3.0 On Windows Vista and Windows 7 this will be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Amphis Customer v3.0 The Documents, Templates, Exports and Reports folders are also in this 'data' folder. Note that these folders may be hidden by default. If you can't see the folders, you can you go to Control Panel->Folder Options and on the View tab click Show Hidden Files and Folders and also untick Hide extensions for known file types. Otherwise the customer.mdb file will appear to just be called customer. If you go to Reports->Custom Report Builder and enter this SQL statement SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER and click Run Report you will see something like this (assuming you have some customer records in the database). This shows that internally the Customer Ids start at 1. The "Customer Id" that is visible to the user is really the Display Id. This internal customer id is used to link tables to each other and used to organize customer documents. If you go to Tools->Folders->View Documents Folder, that will show a subfolder for each customer record. Here was have subfolders for Customer Ids 1 and 2 to match the Customer Ids we saw above. All files for Customer Id 1 are in subfolder 1. That includes invoices, quotes, receipts, letters etc created within Amphis Customer and also any files attached to History Entries. Also Email Messages are stored in here too. The files are linked to the database in the History table where the filename is stored. Only the file name is needed as the location will always be the subfolder with the Customer Id. Share Customer Data and Documents on a Network To share the customer data and documents on a network you need to create a folder on a server and set it up as a Shared Folder. Then you can copy the customer.mdb file and the 4 folders to the shared folder and update each client PCs configuration from Tools->Configuration to access the shared database and folders on the server. Once you have set up one client PC, you can copy its config.mdb file to all the other client PCs to set them all to have the same configuration. See Share Customer Data and Documents on a Network Upgrade to SQL Server You can upgrade the customer.mdb Microsoft Access Database to a SQL Server Database for free. See Upgrade Customer Database to use SQL Server We have some short CRM Videos about Amphis Customer CRM Software and also a CRM Quick Guide with more details and screenshots. We have Prices, Customer testimonials and CRM Software Case Studies or why not Download our CRM Software Free 60 Day Trial and try it for yourself ?

What if I told you that you could carry an 80" Android device around in your pocket? What do you think you would say to me? Perhaps you'd say, "Clearly you are talking about a pico projector device and I'm not falling for your shenanigans." Dang, you're really good at this game. What you probably didn't expect, though, is that the Lightplay by PhoneSuit, as it is called, also features a motion controller with a built-in keyboard, a tripod and access to the entire Google Play Store. Not too bad for $500. The specs on this device are middling, to say the least.

Extra-Fine Merino Wool Sweater, Uniqlo; DIY Bleached Jeans, Loomstate Black & White Striped Socks, H&M; Shoes, Cole Haan Bold patterned socks, bleached denim, and brogues make for a stylish start to the week. With so many fashion week photos clogging my BlogLovin feed, I've been inspired by my male counterparts, mostly in Milan, to want to apply a more tailored approach to my look. The shoes were a recent score from the Saks outlet (Off 5th) - the only good thing about living in Fort Misery (Fort Myers), FL is the close proximity to so many outlet shopping centers. The shoes were originally priced at $225 and I was able to purchase them for $110! I have to say these were probably my first adult shoe purchase that basically motivated me to want to up my shoe game going forward - let's just say I'm taking a quality over quantity approach going forward with my wardrobe.
I reach out to your heart and bring you to my side. Come to me and in me, your pain , please confide. Life can be so unfair. Your sorrow I do openly share. May your spirit guide you and with you remain. I send you my thoughts and my love in your pain. Hopefully, my wish for you will be one of peace. And that your anguish can soon release. The pain of loosing your precious one is to much to bare. I want you to know that I care. Rest as well as you can, my friend. Soon sweet memories will come and your agony will end. (Poem by Joanne) I went to the mall today to see the memorial and to honor all those that died and those who suffer from their passing. Yesterday, July 23. 2012. a man from Illinois stopped by and placed a cross for each person who died. He did that for Columbine also. He didn't stay, he just put the crosses up and went home. This location would be on the east side of Aurora Mall. There was so much press there and they still were filming across the street at the memorial. No one will ever forget this. No one will ever stop hurting. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
"Time announced Thursday that upon investigating Zakaria's columns, it has determined that the transgression was "an unintentional error" and "an isolated incident."" Can you imagine? Can you imagine if one of our students used this line as defense? Many of our students who are punished severely for plagiarism doing as "un unintentional error" and as "an isolated incident". No dean at a self-respecting school would accept this line of defense.
Yerevan, Armenia (July 17) – The Ani & Narod Memorial Foundation (ANMF) and the Yerevan International Film Festival (Golden Apricot) announced today the recipient of the “Mark Sarkis Prix for Best Film” in the Armenian Panorama category which was awarded at the Second Annual Yerevan International Film Festival in Yerevan, Armenia on July 17, 2005. Designed to increase awareness and generate greater interest in Armenian independent filmmakers, the prize was created by the Ardhaldjian family as a tribute honoring their beloved son and brother, Mark Sarkis Ardhaldjian, an aspiring filmmaker who passed away in 1995, at the tender age of 21. “While Mark’s talents were exceptional in our eyes, we are certain that there are many talented individuals of Armenian decent around the world waiting to be discovered. We thank the Golden Apricot Film Festival for providing us the opportunity to act on Mark’s passion,” explained Raffy Ardhaldjian, Mark’s brother and chief volunteer officer of ANMF. Judged by a distinguished jury, the $2000 cash prize was awarded to the winner of the Armenian Panorama category. Under the Open Sky, a film by Arman Yeritzyan, portrays the life of two Russian citizens who coincidently arrive in Yerevan. They eventually marry and lead a life of homelessness, but none of it matters to them since they are “Soviet Citizens”. This film had also the honor of receiving a major prize at the Youth International Film Festival “Yes Em”, Yerevan Armenia, May 2005. Mr. Yeritzyan (born in 1975, Yerevan) has graduated from the Directing Department of Yerevan Pedagogical Insititute. His other works include: End (2003), I Want to Say (2004). “We have been able to fulfill our expectations with the help of our sponsors and support from our government. The festival all of a sudden took flight and grabbed attention from all over the world. Among our participants included Atom Egoyan, Robert Guediguian, Arsinee Khanjian, Abbas Kiarostami, Simon Abkarian, and others. We had twice as many participants this year than from last year competing in the festival; about 140 films from 36 countries. Our success would have been impossible if not for the support we had received from Armenian and Diasporian organizations such as the Ani & Narod Memorial Fund, who donated $2000 under the title of Mark-Sarkis Grand Prix,” states Susanna Harutyunyan, Artistic Director of the Festival. In its second year, the Golden Apricot was held in Yerevan from July 12-17, 2005. Highlighting features and documentaries produced from 2003 to 2005, the festival screened and judged works by a variety of directors and filmmakers from around the world.

"My pet groomer's negligence caused severe injuries to my dog. Assuming I can prove he was negligent, can I get emotional distress or loss of companionship damages?" The likely answer to this question is no. In the United States, domesticated animals (either pets or animals of a commercial importance) are considered the personal property of the owner. Animals have no independent legal rights for the most part (i.e., animals cannot be a party to a lawsuit in court). As a result, when a pet is injured or killed, it is the owner who must file a lawsuit to recover damages. Unfortunately, the traditional computation of damages for the loss of pet is the market value of the pet – the amount of money someone else would pay for the identical pet of the same, age, breed, and condition. Since most of our beloved cats and dogs are not pedigreed or are of mixed breed, they have little or no market value. Thus, despite the grievous nature of the act that injured the dog, owners are left with no compensation. The current movement in pet damages jurisprudence now focuses more on the impact to the human owners of the creatures injured or killed by the wrongful action of another. Courts now grapple with whether damages can be awarded for loss of companionship of the pet or whether damages can be awarded for the emotional distress suffered by the owner. While the majority of states still reject such damages for a variety of reasons, a few states have broken away from traditional property law notions to provide recovery for these non-human household members. States such as Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, New York and New Jersey to some extent, as well as the District of Columbia express a willingness to accept claims requesting damages beyond market value. Causes of action for emotional distress (the mental anguish suffered by the owner as a result of the negligent or intentional actions of the wrongdoer), loss of companionship, and, on a more limited basis, the "intrinsic value" of the pet are now becoming more common. It is this consideration of intrinsic value (or as one court described it as, "that a pet is not just a thing but occupies a special place somewhere in between a person and a piece of personal property") that may be the first step toward increasing the status of pets under law. Thus, the answer to the initial question depends in large part on the state in which you live. Courts are generally reluctant to contradict established precedent in the state by creating a new legal remedy. However, the only way to force courts to take intentional and negligent acts against companion animals more seriously is to push the envelope. In this way, both the concerns of animal companions and their human guardians can be better addressed by the legal system. When a human is injured or killed due to the intentional or even negligent act of another, that individual usually has the right to sue the responsible party for damages (legal compensation for an injury). However, despite the importance we as a society attach to our pets, these same remedies are often unavailable for injury to our animal companions. While the criminal law has made great strides in addressing cruelty to animals, pet owners face an uphill battle in the civil arena.

OK I read through trough Ermac's and AbsoluteDestinys guide. It helped some things. I am Australian=25fps and PAL DVDs. I will not buy NTSC stuff online to get exsactly the same of what I have here. So the guide doesn't help a lot after all. I need help with AVS scripts and what not. OK, I own all of Dragon Ball, every movie,every special, almost all of DBZ and none DBGT. That is a lot of footage to go through. Not to mention that it's all on DVD. Okay, there guide on IVTC doesn't help one bit. I rip my DVDs at angle 2(Japanese angle), I clip the VOB into individual episodes and save them to .d2v in DGindex(I can encode DVDs better than a multi-million dollar corporation. They get paid to do it. Bastards). I make a script. Note that I'm experimenting with the Goku vs. Piccolo fight. So I did what they said to IVTC. My script looks like this: mpeg2source("F:\DBEP147.d2v") Dragon Ball Episode 147 I can't use 'force film' 'cuz it don't work on 25fps stuff. There still is those fucked-up horizontal lines. I do have one NTSC DVD though. I put my Pokemon DVD in and the opening is interlaced and the is movie progressive and the ending is interlaced. Being NTSC and FILM98% I used forcd film. DID NOT work. To kick the poor dead horse I used Telecide and Decimate. Insert dramatic music here it didn't work either! And yes I tried using order 0. There must be someting I'm doing wrong. I hate Anime as of now. My Wrath Of The Dragon DVD that DGindex said was Progressive? It still has those lines, I assume it was interlaced encoded as progresive. I followed the guide about that and it didn't do shit for me. So nothing works for me. I made a HuffYUV of the script hoping that the lines might just be there for whatever reasons. Still those horrible lines. So with the aforementioned script I went through the guide and wound up at the Visual Quality Post-Procsessing guide. Almost everything can be used for pre-procsessing though. I tryed everything. The visual quality looked fairly decent in VirtualDubMod. I tried cropping and the like. Pretty much took a taste of everthing. Good Fun. The Deen filter. I did: "a3d,4,10,10" Something like that. All was good. I tried FluxSmooth. A horror story. In the text editor I typed: fluxsmooth(7,7). That's how the guide said to do it. I played the file in Windows Media Player and it says there was no function called Fluxsmooth. I went to VirtualDubMod's Script Editor because that will generally tell you if you if a command is wrong. This time I typed 'FluxSmooth(7,7)' it said it worked! I press F7 to load it and VDub crashed. 2 tries later... same thing. So the light Bulb comes on!!! Try it in the text editor!!! Same trip: no such thing as FluxSmoother. I checked my plugins folder, the plugin is in there. I tried the LoadPlugin command to no avail. Combining Deen and FluxSmooth seems to be mandatory. Rainbow removing and Line Sharpening went great. I have no idea what masking and bluring is though. Tweaking the colors is interesting and can yeild great affects. So pretty much I'm wasting my life away doing this. I refuse to buy my DVD sets over again unless it's the Dragon Boxes of course. So will somebody please help me. I will not read any guides unless they are of some relevance.

For the record, I have no problem with the depiction of cosplay as "fun-crazy"-- the photos on the original Daily Beast are almost invariably of wild and crazy people at wild and crazy parties and usually in wild and crazy outfits. No, my complaint is the suggestion that somehow cosplay is representative of Seattle's own unique craziness, as opposed to something that goes on in pretty much every state in America (not to mention abroad). So, without further ado: Dear Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, Cosplay is NOT, in fact, something uniquely Seattleish, much less NARUTO cosplay-- hell, I've seen hobos in Portland wear Naruto headbands! Come on. I'll be honest: I like Seattle's Sakura-Con, but it's not usually where I see the really crazy cosplay. And it's DEFINITELY not where I see the craziest and most chaotic anime fans. (That's a compliment to Sakura's staff, by the way.) Perhaps instead of using a picture of young cosplayers to depict Seattle's craziness, you should replace it with pictures of the traffic that flows into Seattle on I-5 on a Friday night. Now THAT is crazy. Pretty ironic that this would come up the week we post the "cosplay" 3-Minute Expert. What say you folks?
Been in this situation before? Maybe a different frame of mind is what's needed :) I'm a bit disappointed with the timing in Go Animate . The rote animations of the characters never seem to sync up properly, making things a bit of a crap shoot, as they say. Bleh. Still, it's a fun toy.

Star reporter Laura Johnson did a great story about the Indian artifact collection being donated to the Janney Furnace Museum. For those who don’t know, the Janney Furnace Museum and the Confederate Memorial are all brought to you by Calhoun County Commissioner Eli Henderson. Years ago Eli had built a park, with the help of inmates from the Calhoun County Jail, at Coldwater Creek and U.S. 78. This is my favorite contribution by Eli. I pass by it all the time. Another brainchild of Eli is the Special Kids Fishing Classic event. Wonder what other ideas Eli will bring to the circuit clerk’s office? You can bet there will be some.
On 8/4/07, I married my best friend/soul mate. Not present that day was her grandmother. Raised Catholic, Grandma Lesko did not believe in same-sex marriage. She wished us well but declined our invitation. June, 2011, I met my grandmother-in-law for the first time. My wife and I had a cook-out at our home and this time Grandma Lesko was there. Nothing extraordinary happened that day. We had a nice time; Grandma Lesko looked at our wedding photo albums and enjoyed herself. Mother’s Day, 2012, while at a family cookout, Grandma Lesko broached the subject of our wedding: “You know, my biggest regret in life is not attending your wedding. When I was at your home last year, I saw something I have never seen before. And I’m not talking lovie dovie, kissing & stuff. I saw something that I’ve never experienced before and I was married to a man! Seeing what you two have together opened my eyes. You know, I live in a community of Catholic nuns. I’ve told them all about you and some of them even agree with me now about gay marriage. I wish I never lost that time with you guys. I missed three years because of stupidity.” When I told Kristina (my wife) and her mom about this conversation, you could have knocked Kristina over with a feather! Sharon (Kristina’s mom) laughed and said: “Oh yea, your grandmother is the biggest gay activist there is! She gets into arguments with the nuns that don’t agree with her, she tries to convert them all. She loves you guys & that’s all she ever talks about anytime I’m on the phone with her!” I have never been so proud in all of my life! Kristina & I did nothing to try to sway this woman’s opinion. We were just ourselves when she came to our home. She simply saw that we love each other & that was enough for this 80 year old, die-hard Catholic to change her mind. Words cannot express how proud, loved, hopeful, joyful and happy this conversation made me feel. I felt like I could change the world. Grandma Lesko has reinforced the old adage that love conquers all! - Charlette Robichaud
Ah yes....something every good home improvement project should never go without: beer and wood shims! Nothing like putting in a twelve hour day...on your day off. As noted earlier in the week, we decided to rehab the basement. We had Moose for about as long as we had finished the basement. As we reached the end of that chapter, we decided to start a new chapter with a fresh start. The basement has plagued me for years. When you have a house that is seventy five years old, it pains you to walk into your friend's new homes that have basements with nine foot ceilings. It is also frustrating dealing with walls that shows years of water damage. Fortunately, the water damage has been taken care of and only the scars are left behind. Yes, in a house that is seventy five years old, you get six and a half foot ceilings and the kind of duct work that you see Bruce Willis crawling through in Die Hard. Although my vote was to tear out the entire thing, we opted on a half work over. I would tear out half of the drywall to remedy some electrical problems and leave the ceiling. Work went fairly fast. Of course, on one of the nicest days of the year I am inside. Fortunately, or unfortunately as of a couple minutes ago (She is a little sore and tired now...), Zoe was outside staining the deck. I replaced some Durock that was damaged from the old wood floor in front of the bar, I raised all of the outlet boxes to their code specified height (BTW, narrow depth boxes are an incredible pain) and I repaired some of the old furring strips. I had forgotten, but nine years ago I used concrete nails to secure the strips. No wonder I have so many bad memories of that job. My hammer drill and some Tapcons made for quick work. Unfortunately, my hearing wasn't so lucky. I ran new speaker cabling to be prepared for a 7.1 setup...if that ever happens and planning way ahead for a change, I ran more RG6 and Cat-5 from my wiring closet in the addition. I even included a pull wire in case I need to pull new wire in the future. I guess I have finally learned my lesson. I was determined to hang some drywall tonight, but since it is already 8:30, Zoe has demanded that I stop. None the less, I will not stop tomorrow until the drywall is up and the first coat of mud.
The National Museum in Belgrade was the first cultural institution in the world to include a Piet Mondrian painting in its permanent exposition. The largest and oldest museum in Serbia, it was founded in 1844, with many valuable art masterpieces from across the globe in its extraordinarily rich collection. The building's structure has a layout typical of the classic art museum. The Ancient Art section has sculptures many thousands of years old, as well as Egyptian, Greek, Roman and ancient Celtic art works that have been found in the territory of the Balkans. There is also a numismatic collection with a great variety of coins, medals, rings and seals; as well as a mediaeval collection, whose greatest treasures are Miroslav's Gospel - a 362-page illustrated manuscript created in 1186 in Serbia (included in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register), along with Queen Teodora's ring (early 14th century), King Stefan Radoslav's ring (beginning of the 13th century) and a wide collection of icons (13th-16th century). The 14th-20th century visual art collection is undoubtedly the richest and most valuable of the collections in the museum - paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphics from various European countries and schools. The French art section stands out as the largest in the Balkans and one of the best in the world. At the core of this section is the private collection of Belgrade artist Erih Slomovic. While still quite young, he became a protégé of the greatest art dealer of the early 20th century, Ambroise Vollard, and developed his own high quality collection due to the connections he had made. There are about 250 works covering four centuries in the French art collection. The paintings and graphics of Gauguin, Renoir and Dégas are the most widely represented here, but the works of Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Monet, Cézanne, Corot, Signac, Rodin, Rouault, Bonnard, Pissarro, Redon, Moreau, Daumier, Daubigny, Dérain, Dufy and many others are also found here. The museum's Italian art collection is also noteworthy. Here one can find the works of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, as well as Caravaggio, Canaletto and Modigliani. The Dutch and Flemish painters are represented by works from Rembrandt and Rubens, as well as van Gogh and van Dongen. The Russian, Austrian, and German art collections are also very interesting and contain valuable works by artists of the calibre of Kandinsky, Dürer, Sisley, Klimt, Lissitzky, Chagall, Borovikovsky and others. In addition to those previously mentioned, the museum also contains a captivating Japanese art collection, a broad Cubist art collection and a comprehensive Yugoslavian and Serbian art collection, from which one can learn a great deal about four centuries of the fine arts in this region.

Dr Craige Golding, a specialist physician in anti-aging medicine and medical director of Solal, admits that the term ‘anti-aging medicine’ is perhaps not the best description of his field of interest. “It tends to suggest a focus on the exterior, giving the impression that it’s all about wrinkles and Botox treatments. But the focus is much broader than that. Anti-aging medicine is really about the prevention, early detection and reversal of the chronic diseases that become more common with age, and which constitute nearly 90% of the illnesses doctors treat on an ongoing basis. It truly is the medicine of the new millennium, advocating that people actively take control of their health rather than simply waiting for diseases to develop. People want to spend a longer time living healthily and a shorter time dying.” Golding qualified as a specialist physician in 1999 and quickly found that much of the time he was treating the symptoms of conditions like diabetes, cancer, dementia, heart disease, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, rather than addressing the causes. “And yet many of these degenerative diseases of aging are largely preventable or reversible, if one can intervene early enough using anti-aging treatments, like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fats, nutraceuticals, herbal extracts, chelation therapies, intravenous nutrients and other intravenous treatments such as glutathione, hydrogen peroxide, phospholipid exchange, and measures like lifestyle modification. Hormone balancing and neurotransmitter assessmant and normalisation are also offered in anti-aging medicine. However, conventional practice didn’t give me the tools to practice this kind of preventive medicine. Anti-aging medicine addresses the cause of the underlying problem, rather than merely treating the symptoms.” And then Golding heard of A4M, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. It offers two board-certified courses in anti-aging medicine, requiring, inter alia, the completion of a number of modules (courses offered in the United States), oral and written examinations, participation in interactive webcasts, and case studies. Completing these courses required five trips to the USA. Golding is now the only person in Africa to hold these qualifications. The qualifications are: ABAARM (American Board Certification in Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine) and FAAFM (Fellow in Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine.) “The primary aim of anti-aging medicine is to prevent disease,” he says. “We’ve seen a huge explosion in ‘convenience living’, with a lot of bad nutrition as a result of high intake of fast foods. In addition we’re exposed to a high level of pollutants. In fact, just living increases one’s risk for disease, since we are living in an increasingly toxic environment and exposed to poor diets and excessive stress. But by paying attention to one’s health, detoxifying and implementing lifestyle changes such as sound nutrition, exercise, stress management and anti-aging medicine, sickness can largely be prevented.” “We also look at the role of hormones in disease processes. The hormonal decline associated with aging predisposes people to disease, thus increasing risk. Replenishment with bio-identical/compounded hormones, which have the same structure as hormones naturally occurring in the human body, can be highly beneficial to one’s health.” Golding is looking to establish several integrative medicine centres throughout South Africa. The first of these, in Bryanston, Johannesburg, is already up and running, and offers bio-identical hormone therapy, chelation therapies, intravenous nutrient treatments and integrative approaches to cancer including, for example, high-dose vitamin C therapy. This centre also offers anti-aging skin treatments, specialist anti-aging consultations and bio-identical compounded hormone replacement therapies. Other future plans include the establishment of an age-diagnostic lab in South Africa. Says Golding, “In so many cases, ‘normal’ and ‘optimal’ hormone levels are not the same thing. We have aggressive reference ranges when it comes to issues like testosterone levels in men, for example. Conventional guidelines have a one-size-fits-all approach, even though one would think it obvious that what is normal or optimal in an 18-year-old would not be so in an 80-year-old. Low testosterone increases one’s risk for conditions like prostate cancer, loss of muscle mass, heart disease, vascular disease and osteoporosis. Restoring declining testosterone levels in an older man to the physiologically normal levels of a younger person can prevent a wide array of diseases.” Golding is also planning to do a number of seminars on anti-aging medicine, starting February 2008. The topics covered will include all areas of anti-aging medicine; to give some examples: - bio-identical hormone replenishment - thyroid health - adrenal fatigue - brain health - prevention of cancers, such as breast cancer - integrative approach to cancer treatments - chelation therapies - attention deficit disorder and autism spectrum - metabolic syndrome - weight loss Areas of promise Metabolic syndrome is now a major problem worldwide. “If we can prevent it from developing – or even just retard the process of decline – we can make a huge difference to an individual’s quality of life,” says Golding, “For example, chromium and other nutraceuticals such as alpha lipoic acid and Egcg can reverse or even prevent diabetes – and our goal is to ensure a healthy life without the burden of the chronic diseases of aging.” Chelation therapy is showing promise for the treatment of heavy metal toxicity – and treatment of this is unique to anti-aging medicine. Heavy metal toxicity can be tested for quite easily through urine tests, MELISA blood testing or hair sampling. We are all exposed to heavy metal toxicity and the consequences can be dire if not dealt with, contributing to conditions like heart disease, vascular disease, dementia and cancer. Golding is also very enthusiastic about the nutritional treatment of cancer by means of intravenous nutrients. In 2007, Dr Shari Lieberman presented her successful case studies to the Fellowship in Anti-aging. She has seen very positive results using nutraceuticals and high doses of intravenous vitamin C. Golding hopes to introduce this to South Africa in the course of 2008. Anti-aging medicine also extends to psychological wellness, and neurotransmitter testing. (South Africa still does not have the necessary facilities for this, however, and the evaluations have to be done overseas.) Rather than just prescribing antidepressants for depression and anxiety, amino acids, nutrients, cofactors, vitamins and minerals can be used in a more sustainable manner to restore neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Neurotransmitters are essentially molecules of behaviour within the brain and many disorders ranging from depression to anxiety to attention deficicit disorder to psychosis and other mental disorders can be addressed by optimisation of neurotransmitters. Golding is very conscious of the mind-body link. “Conventional medicine underestimates the importance of happiness. People want to feel good and be conscious of it. That’s why anti-aging medicine puts great emphasis on a holistic approach, viewing the patient/client as a complete entity, rather than only focusing on the one area where overt disease may be present.” The wellness revolution Golding feels that the world is undergoing a wellness revolution, and that anti-aging medicine will have an ever-greater role to play in the future. “More and more people are embracing the wellness model, realising that lifestyle plays a key role in the development of disease – and that because lifestyle is modifiable, disease is reversible. People want to feel well and be healthy, and the fact that many anti-aging practices are constantly booked up – often months in advance – attests to this changing mindset.” Golding became Solal’s medical director because he was very impressed with the company’s range of anti-aging products. The range comprises more than 200 types of nutraceuticals, all formulated with scientifically supported optimal doses. “It’s a very impressive range, maybe the best of its kind in the world and superior even to those available in the USA,” he says. “In addition, Solal also has ranges of cosmaceuticals and dermaceuticals, which hold a lot of promise for retarding aging of the skin.” Golding reveals that the A4M intends bringing the qualifications in anti-aging medicine to South Africa. He says, “GPs, for example, would be able to do these courses without giving up their practices.” Golding also foresees a time in the USA in the not-too-distant future when anti-aging medicine will become a recognised sub-specialty, requiring a four-year degree course. And given that South Africa tends to track trends in the USA, this will almost certainly become the case here too. “However, those of us who already hold the current qualifications will probably be ‘grandfathered in’,” he says. Though passionate about anti-aging medicine, wellness and the prevention of illness, Golding underscores that he is not negating the importance and value of conventional medicine, which also has its place. “After all, if you’ve actually had a myocardial infarction, you need treatment in an ICU, not a dose of vitamin C. My point is simply that for so long we’ve been over-focused on just managing diseases. But prevention, early detection and reversal of the disease process are better options. Take the analogy of a car. What makes more sense? To have the car serviced regularly or to wait for it to break down?” “We already have the diagnostic capabilities to pick up markers of disease before it becomes clinically evident. Developments in DNA/RNA measurement and genetic testing will continue to advance this – already, genetic studies can even pick up abnormalities before these are evident on PET scanning. Genetic modification in utero will be the next big, exciting development. Stem cell therapy is also showing great promise and is already being used in anti-aging medicine for the treatment of conditions like osteo-arthritis and macular degeneration, as well as myocardial infarction and stroke. Exciting times await us with an increased life expectancy and better health.”
Dante Alighieri was the greatest Italian poet and one of the most important European writers. Dante live through the years of 1265 – 1321. He has a very unique way of writing and started his works at the age of 35. Dante wrote La Divina Comedia based on the era he live through and all the knowledge of his lifetime was imbedded in his works. In this specific work he writes about a journey which he wishes to better understand the afterlife receive his salvation. Throughout his journey Virgil was his guide and taught him all about the nine circles of hell and the punishments that the sinners received in each circle. Dante was a very powerful writer and his writing has many significant symbols to many different objects. This story is very complex and interesting to read and understand each After Dante exits hell with his guide Virgil, he arrives into Purgatory. Purgatory is the in between where Dante sees sinners being punished. Each sin has a different punishment depending on the sin. Purgatory is a place where sinners temporarily get punished in order to purify themselves and be ready for heaven. There these people learn the mistakes they have made and realize the seriousness of their sins and prepare to enter heaven/paradise. Virgil guides Dante throughout purgatory and leads him to paradise where Beatrice will be there to guide him to A very important character of the Divine Comedy is Virgil. Virgil is Dante’s guide throughout Purgatory. Virgil is a very helpful guide and is a poet whom Dante looked up to. Virgil symbolized human reason and taught Dante everything he knows about the inferno and purgatory. Virgil is in the first realm of hell, limbo. He is in limbo because he is a pagan and was never baptized. Virgil takes Dante through each circle and describes each circle, the reason people are there and describes each punishment. Virgil protects Dante from the leaders of each circle as...

St. Anne, Patroness of Detroit St. Anne was named by the Vatican as the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Detroit. We honor the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and prayerfully ask for her intercession. One may pray to any saint for any intention, but a patron saint is seen as the particular advocate for a chosen place or activity. St. Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Though she is not mentioned by name in the Bible, we know of her through early Christian writings, the most important of which is the Protoevangelium of James, written in about 150 A.D. We are told that Anne, the wife of Joachim, was advanced in years before her prayers for a child were answered. An angel appeared and told her she would conceive a child who "shall be spoken of in all the world." St. Anne's feast day is celebrated on July 26. She is known as the patron saint of equestrians, housewives, women in labor, cabinet-makers, and miners. Devotion to St. Anne became popular in the Christian East by the fourth century, and that tradition later spread to the Christian West. When the French began to colonize modern-day Quebec, they brought their devotion to St. Anne with them—asking for her protection in the New World. This devotion was planted on the banks of the Detroit River by the original French-Canadian settlers. Two days after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac landed with 51 others in what is now downtown Detroit on July 24, 1701, they celebrated Mass and began construction of a church named after Saint Anne. Today, Ste. Anne de Detroit Church is the second oldest continually operating parish in the United States. As is now recognized by the Holy See, the church of Detroit was placed under St. Anne's protection from its very founding.

Alpha & Omega Ministries Apologetics Blog For the Serious Minded 03/29/2007 - James WhiteWhen I checked on the link I have used a number of times recently for my Nicea article in the CRI Journal of July/August, 1997, I discovered it had gone dead. So I contacted CRI, and they contacted their webfolks who are busy migrating their website to a new format. They jumped my article to the head of the line and it is now available again, here. The text is there, but if you want to appreciate how well the Journal originally presented the article (art work and the like), you'll have to get the back issue. I would like to invite Jonathan Prejean, Patrick Madrid, Dave Armstrong, and the rest of that group of RC apologists, to post links to the paper as well. Why? Well, they are all claiming the paper is a glowing example of how unscholarly I am, how ignorant I am, and why no Roman Catholic should ever listen to anything I have to say. So, how about posting this link along with the Envoy article, and my brief response (which was limited, by the way, by publication word limits)? That way, you can let your audience find out if Hugh Barbour was actually dealing with what I wrote, or was doing as I have said, writing nothing but a shameless hit piece that mocks the very nature of sound scholarship? And would it not be a great benefit for Madrid and Prejean and Armstrong to post my article as an example of just how dull I am? I mean, each of them should be able to provide a far superior summary of the main issues at Nicea, Constantine's role, the primary personalities involved, and make it all understandable to the interested layman, and do it all in 4500 words, right? I mean, since I failed so miserably at it, they should be able to pull it off, right? So I look forward to their demonstrating their integrity and honesty by posting the link along with their far superior articles. In passing, I'm wondering if someone can help me find the in-depth, full refutation of the Talpiot Tomb claims by these Roman Catholic apologists? I mean, I would think the fact that they are so far beyond me in scholarship (especially Mr. Prejean), that they would have been providing information on the Acts of Philip and mitochondrial DNA and the like far faster than I have. So could someone direct me to their rebuttals? Oh, and I would invite all of them to help us test out our new phone system this afternoon/evening on The Dividing Line? The toll free number is 877-753-3341. I'd love to give you the opportunity of continuing the demonstration of "ethics in defense of Rome," i.e., "As long as you are slandering critics of Mother Church, it's all fair game."
Recommendation letters are often as important as grades when applying for graduate school, says Drew C. Appleby, PhD, a psychology professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. They are equally crucial for internship and job applications. But many students still treat them as an afterthought, hurting what could otherwise be a strong dossier. That's too bad, because they are one part of an application where students' personalities can shine through and perhaps trump middling transcripts or GRE scores, says Appleby. "Students have much more control over their destinies than they think they do," says Appleby. To help keep you in control of your future, we asked experts how you can get the glowing recommendations you deserve. Ask the right people The most important aspect of any recommendation is whom you ask to write it, says Appleby. "The question is not, 'Can you write me a letter of recommendation?' but 'Can you write me a strong letter of recommendation?'" he says. Most professors will answer the "strong letter" question honestly. This can save you from situations where a professor simply says you took a class with her and earned an A. Letters like that can actually hurt an application, particularly for internship recommendation letters, says Steve McCutcheon, PhD, who chairs the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers Board of Directors. He says most students have already shown they are capable of earning good grades if they've made it to grad school. So seek recommendations that highlight such qualities as your character, dedication and drive. Also, stick to people who have worked with you professionally — that excludes your therapist or your parents, he notes. "Even if your mother is a clinical psychologist," Appleby says, "nobody will believe that she can write an objective letter about her child." For academic jobs, stick to letters from university faculty members and place extra emphasis on your research achievements and independence of thought. Make the process easy Busy professors spend hours writing recommendations. That's certainly the case for Appleby, who recently wrote 17 different letters to 17 different programs for just one student. Do everything you can to make the process easy, and your professors will appreciate it, he says. For starters, let your letter-writers know how to send in their recommendations, since some schools require electronic submissions while others want hard copies. Give your writers a list of requirements and due dates for each program to help them stay organized. Also, give them a summary of your achievements, research and other accomplishments. Even your closest advisers won't remember everything you've done and how you did it, says Deborah Boehm-Davis, PhD, psychology department chair at George Mason University. Be specific about the program or position you are applying for so the letter can be tailored to your abilities and potential fit. "Anything a student can do to make it easier for faculty members, they should do," says McCutcheon. "This is good common courtesy and good professional behavior." Contact your letter-writers to ensure your letters are sent by the deadlines, says Appleby. He recommends students follow up within a week of the due date. Also, contact your grad programs and potential employers to confirm your dossier's status. Just use some restraint when checking on your progress. "You don't want to bug them all the time," says Appleby, "but a simple call or e-mail is in your best interest." E-mail's easy, but a hand-written note is usually the best way to thank letter-writers, says Appleby. A thoughtful thank you may also increase the chances for future recommendations or even mentoring down the road. Anyone who writes you a recommendation letter cares about your future in the field and wants to see you succeed. So consider keeping your letter-writers updated on your progress—perhaps sending a quick e-mail about whether you got into a particular program, internship, postdoc or job, says Appleby. Finally, don't fall into some common traps of seeking recommendation letters. Many students, for example, may believe that having a "big name" on a letter of recommendation will increase their chances of acceptance. Yes, a letter from APA President James H. Bray, PhD, is impressive, but only if he's intimately aware of your achievements, character and future goals, McCutcheon says. If not, find a faculty member who can argue convincingly on your behalf based on what he or she knows from working closely with you. Be sure your letter-writers can be specific. "Letters that are brief and general are the worst because they indicate that the letter writer is not familiar with the student," McCutcheon adds. Also, don't ask to see a recommendation letter after it is written because recipients of the letter may be concerned that this will make letter-writers less candid. If you select the right faculty, "you should feel confident that the person will support your case," says Boehm-Davis.

Stanton Apartments for Rent(show city information) The greatest thing about Stanton, California (aside from year-round fabulous weather, beautiful scenery, and amazing parks) is its location. Downtown Anaheim is just six miles away. Stanton is four miles west of Disneyland — an easy drive straight down Katella Avenue. It is also two miles south of Knott’s Berry Farm, nine miles north of the Pacific Coast and those famous California beaches, and eight miles northeast of California State University, Long Beach. Los Alamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center, Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, Buena Park Mall, and the Los Alamitos Race Track are all within minutes of Stanton, as well. If you don’t feel like driving the five minutes or so to get to one of the area’s theme parks, Stanton is home to Adventure City, a fun little park with two roller coasters, rides, a petting farm, rock climbing, and more. Stanton’s brilliant location, easy access to Beach Boulevard and other freeways, excellent schools, and friendly neighborhoods make this busy little city a wonderful place to live.
Last year, Vancouver design studio Green Over Grey created the largest living green wall installation in North America at the Semiahmoo Public Library in White Rock. This year, they unveiled a stunning new living green wall at Edmonton International Airport, likely to be the largest such installation in any airport. The 1,420-square-foot vertical garden is installed as a triptych in the main terminal and features 8,000 plants representing 32 different species. Most of those species have been proven by NASA to improve indoor air quality by drawing pollutants and CO2 from the air and returning fresh oxygen and moisture. The added humidity from the living walls is a bonus, as the air in Edmonton tends to be dry. The living wall is completely hydroponic and installed over waterproof eco-panels made from post-consumer food-grade plastic (such as milk jugs, plastic bags, etc). The moss filling the spaces in between plants is made from recycled fibers from the textile industry. A sharp eye might recognize the smaller side panels as representations of two famous Canadian paintings (Tree Forms by Emily Carr and Unnamed Abstract by Donald Flather). The design of the larger center panel was inspired by cirrus cloud formations.

Name: Jasper Jack, 2 Location: Rockland County, NY Jasper's favorite book was about a cowboy, so it seemed like the ideal theme, particularly for an outdoor BBQ! The colors were kraft paper brown with blue highlights because blue is Japer's favorite color! There were other touches of red like in the red bandana napkins and red checkered table cloths. I made all of the decorations myself, including the drink and food labels and the banner that we hung under the pergola. This was a fantastically easy project because I just bought 8x10 sheets of a card stock paper called "brown bag" that I bought at the craft store and printed directly on the card stock from my printer. Hanging the letters with clothes pins to twine took merely seconds! I also designed the custom invitations, thank you cards and the "Wanted" posters which we hung on the front door and one above the drink table. The cake had white buttercream frosting and I made marshmallow fondant the night before to cut out little "cowprint" shapes to make it look theme appropriate. The cupcakes and toppers were a last minute project when I panicked that the cake might not feed all of our guests! I set up a photobooth complete with boas, hats and props, and made sure to get a picture of every guest. I included a 4x6 print with the thank you cards. • Felt Props from Maro Designs Thanks, Ariana! Readers, visit Ariana at her blog. (Images: Ariana Falerni)
Two extra large picture windows have great city skyline views but we can close the blackout curtains and create a quiet, private retreat. 13' ceilings with exposed structural supports create volume in a long narrow room. Copper, gray, green, brown and stone color palette with metallic accents makes for subdued, masculine urban feeling. Now that you've got your white bedding and your comforter, it's time to accessorize. A fur blanket thrown across a bed looks so cozy and inviting — perfect for Sunday afternoon naps! While some faux fur throws look a little too, well, fake, we've found a selection that are pretty close to the real deal. I love how my bedroom feels when I wake up with the sunshine, not an alarm clock, on a Saturday morning. It has a calm quality with great light and I have put a lot of myself into the creation of the space. The dresser is a refurbish job, the photography is mine, and the striped wall is my handiwork. It's full of memories, both tangible and not, and lots of dreams. Our bedroom incorporates some things my husband and I have accumulated and loved for a long time, and that have appeared in different spots and guises in the various places we've called home. The bureaus we splurged on when starting out give us joy every day, along with the colorful resin lamps. As much as we love natural light in the home and in all the gorgeous bedrooms in our Bedroom Contest this month, it's healthier to sleep in complete darkness. A friend of mine is moving her bedroom to the smallest, darkest room in her home because she sleeps better in pitch darkness. That it's a place my husband and I both love. We didn't want a serene, vanilla bedroom, we wanted something dark and moody but a little wild and fun too. This room was on a tight budget so shopping Craigslist and repurposing was our goal! I love how my room displays my personality. I am a full time student who studies all the time, hence all the tech, but I also play around a lot; whether it be games, playing soccer, hiking or just going out with friends. Being able to portray that I balance my work and social life is very important to me. It's sunny, light, vintage and somehow also modern AND it seems to work with the textiles we've picked up along the way. Oh it's also not too fussy like us! We also love that most of the furniture was free or nearly free. Can't lie though, we splurged on the mattress, it's a Temperpedic and one of the best decisions we ever made. We now wake up rested and happy in this bright cozy space.
As Valentine's Day nears, it gives us pause to take stock of all that we love...all of the tech we love, that is. Of course it's easy to love the shiny and new, but there's always going to be old devices and accessories that prove difficult to part ways with. We explore why we just can't seem to let go of our old tech, even if it means our stuff just sits rotting away in a storage closet somewhere taking up space. So why do we have so much trouble parting with old technology we've accumulated over the years? Whether it's an old television set or computer monitor, random cable, or camera, we always seem to store things away, shoving things into our ever-bulging closets. So why do we have so much trouble letting go? Maybe it's because like keeping a set of "skinny clothes", we're holding onto these items imagining the chance maybe someday we'll find ourselves needing their use again. So we find ourselves hanging onto every little adapter or cable or bolt and bracket that we've ever come across. Sometime it's because we spent so much damn money on a particular tech device or accessory, even though it's now worthless, we just can't bear to toss it out with the trash or let it go for pennies on the dollar. That old $4,000 rear projection screen TV that would cost $500 to repair? That $1,500 23" Apple Cinema Display with the acrylic case that's starting to crack and requires a brick of an adapter for its ADC connection type while you can get just about any old 23" monitor for $200. That $3,000 video camera that your smartphone outperforms and is always in your pocket. It's insane how much money we've sunk into tech and now we should just get rid of it like it didn't cost us a fortune before and is now worthless to us? Or perhaps we're just lazy. Maybe there's personal content on a smart phone or hard drive that we just need to clear out before we get rid of it. We could be just waiting to take a picture of it before listing it on Craigslist. Or maybe we promised it to our nephew but we keep forgetting to bring it with us whenever we see him. It might be that yard sale you keep talking about having and keep holding on to things for. And then there's sentimental value. How can we possibly let go of something we worked extra hours over the summer to afford? It was so beautiful that we went out and got it and we've kept it in such great condition over all these years and it still looks so pretty, just sitting there lonely and forlorn. There's no resale value but we can't bear to just toss it out with the trash. Whether it's hoarding or love or obsession or whatever reason you can justify to yourself, share with us your old loves, and tell us why you just can't let go.

If you've ever sat on a bench in a Rittenhouse Square Park at night, you know what I mean. All that gorgeous greenery that we enjoy during the day becomes home to less desirable, four legged friends at night. Do ivy covered houses cover up numerous creepy crawlies, as well? Obviously, their verticality limits the number of furry vermin able to make the trek, but what about their insect brethren? And do the ground-bound scavengers simply collect at the base of the house instead? Then there are the damaging properties inherent in the ivy itself. Growing green walls often result in structural damage to a building. They trap moisture and can expedite related problems, causing wood to rot and mortar to soften. So where do you draw the line between dreamy and detrimental? I'm curious, have you ever lived in an ivy-covered house? What was your experience? Are they better to look at than to live in? Or, are they all we hope they'd be - charming, romantic...magical??
Inspired Ideas, indeed! The blog of the same name shared this creative technique for transferring old scanned photos/digital photos to use as decorative transfer images for embellishing votive candle holders. A crafty+tech project which seems perfectly suited for decorating during the holidays (or a wedding)... The first thing you want to do is find images that you want to use. Old black and white photos work best because of the high contrast. When you photocopy the image, play around with the contrast and resolution controls on the copier to get the results you desire. Again, high contrast works best. Oh, and it won't work with inkjet printers. Either photocopy the images or print using a laser printer. I recommend using the small votive cylinder candleholders found commonly at craft stores. If you use this size, size your photographs to fit on a 2" high x 6.5" long strip. You'll want to pull out the scanner, reload the old laser printer, pick up some transparent contact paper, and then check out step-by-step directions over at Inspired Ideas - Making Memory Candles.
May was a huge step up for us; we tried our second extreme luxury bed, the Savoir No. 2, also known as The Savoy. Completely handmade in England for each customer, Sara Kate and I slept on a medium tension model that was sprung equally for both of us (we were both invited to come try a floor model months ahead of time). Our experience? We both really liked the bed, but had different reactions to how lumpy the bed was at first (it settled a lot over the course of the month.) We agreed on one thing: this bed REALLY moves. Savoir is a UK based company that started up in 1905 by making beds for the Savoy Hotel in London after the owner declared he wanted the best beds in town for his hotel. Prior to 1997, you could only buy these beds through the hotel, but since then the company split off and has a large presence in Europe. They only opened a US showroom, in New York City, last year. In the interest of full disclosure, the delivery of these beds is a big part of the experience, and we got the full treatment. Savoir not only delivered the bed, but threw in luxury bedding and a bottle of champagne (they said customers often buy new bedding with their beds). When we came home that night it made quite an impression. Personal, white glove delivery is standard. Not sure about the champagne. This is what we tried out: • Sferra Giza Sateen Bedding • Hefel Pure Silk Comforter • Savoir Back-Sleeper Pillows While all of this added to the experience, we quickly swapped out the sateen for our own linen sheets. They were just too slippery. It's worth adding, however, that making a big deal out of this point of contact made a distinct impression. Not only is bed delivery a very sensitive event, it's also a huge marketing opportunity and all of the attention this bed comes with definitely adds to the personal experience. • Excellent (but not at first) You have to get used to this bed. For a $15k bed, we were both amazed at what a lumpy first impression it made. The horsehair topper settled big-time over our thirty days. Soft, breathable and plush with many layers of natural material, I loved falling into it at night, but it did take getting used to. Sara found the way the horsehair topper "settled" uncomfortable as it created a ridge between us at first and made her feel as if she were rolling towards the edge. This went away by the end of the month. That said, we both slept very well after the first week, my occasional morning back pains disappeared and our body temperatures were never too hot or too cold. The sleep is very soft and deep, which I prefer, but Sara is more of a firm surface aficionado. This is important to know when choosing a bed, and the Savoir can be built for different firmnesses within the same bed. The Savoir is a "bespoke" handmade bed, which means that it is built to your specifications in their factory in London. Totally traditional in build, with layers of natural materials on top of hand tied springs, this bed will rock your world if your eco-minded. If you just like well made things, you'll appreciate all the care that goes into one of these things. From the Savoir website: The difference between a Savoir Bed and any other will become apparent over many years of comfort. The fact that 60 hours of craftsmanship goes into one of our king size beds allows us to make best use of the finest materials. Screwing a frame together takes longer than using a pneumatic staple gun, but the time taken is reflective in their respective lives. The materials? FSC certified knot-free pine and beech, lambswool, cotton, horsehair and steel springs. I took a lot of pics of the bed being set-up as the thing looks as good without bedding as it does dressed. This bed is a lot of money, but if actually can afford to buy one, you're likely not to feel that it's overpriced. While I'm sure there's a healthy markup in there, this is a lot of bed and you DO feel like you're lying on something that's going to get better and dearer with time. It had a totally different presence in our bedroom than most of the other beds - like a big, solid anchor in our home. If you're big into having a great bed, really crave natural materials, this type of soft, deep sleep and don't need to buy a car or send a kid to college this year, this could be a great choice. Can you get a Savoir for less? Yes, Savoir makes two other models that are lower in price (often bought for guest rooms!), which will allow you to dip your toes in these waters, but they're still going to run you a lot more than the typical $1-2k beds that we see most often. Do you sleep on a Savoir bed? If yes, please let me know in the comments how it's going for you.

Newly opened in Brussels' posh Ixelles district, Tenbosch House is a B&B that offers lots of inspiration for lovers of Scandinavian design. Owners Cedric Meuris and Bernard Devaux hired architect Patrice Lemeret to transform two nineteenth-century houses into one open, airy hotel, while designers Michel Penneman and Catharina Eklof chose 1960s Scandinavian furniture to maintain a mod look throughout. Among the classic 60s furniture, we spotted Hans Wegner chairs, Nisse Strinning shelves, and Poul Henningsen lighting. There are local references as well in the B&B's design — Belgian (and international) artwork appears in rooms and public spaces. The hotel strives to be "a place of serenity," one "that is small enough to care, yet spacious enough to give you freedom and calm." • Tenbosch House, Brussels Photos: Serge Anton \| Tenbosch House
Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, 1993 © Alex Webb/Magnum Photos Photography Workshop at Aperture with Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb This one-day workshop is geared for documentary photographers, street photographers, and others who photograph the world with a camera—not for those who dramatically manipulate their photographs. Also includes public gallery talk with Alex Webb about his exhibition, Alex Webb: The Suffering of Light, at Aperture Gallery from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. The exhibition features works from his recently published book The Suffering of Light. Saturday, December 17, 2011 10:00 am–5:00 pm $225 (Tickets are non-refundable) Purchase tickets to the event Do you know where you’re going next with your photography––or where it’s taking you? This intensive one-day workshop will help photographers begin to understand their own distinct way of seeing the world. It will also help photographers figure out their next step photographically ––from deepening their own unique vision to the process of discovering and making a long-term project that they’re passionate about. A workshop for serious amateurs and professionals alike, it will begin with reviews of each photographer’s work, serving as a jumping off point for a larger discussion about various photographic issues. Alex and Rebecca, a creative team who often edit projects and books together –– including their book and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, exhibition, “Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba”––will explore with the class a series of topics, including the process of photographing spontaneously and intuitively; how to photograph in cultures other than one’s own; how to edit photographs intuitively; the emotional and psychological implications of working in color vs. black and white; the difference between images in a book and images on the wall; and how long-term projects can evolve into books and exhibitions. Participants should be prepared to ask questions, as these concerns will help shape the ultimate direction of the workshop. This one-day workshop is geared for documentary photographers, street photographers, and others who photograph the world with a camera––not for those who dramatically manipulate their photographs. Aperture Gallery and Bookstore 547 W. 27th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY The workshop is offered at the discounted price of $175 for full-time students and Aperture members. Please call (212) 505-5555 to reserve at this special rate, or buy tickets through Aperture’s website. Alex Webb is best known for his vibrant and complex color work, especially from Latin America and the Caribbean. He has published nine books, including Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, and his most recent, The Suffering of Light: Thirty Years of Photographs (Aperture). Alex has exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego.
