What a little hidden gem of a wedding venue Wethele Manor is, nestled in the Warwickshire countryside just outside of Leamington Spa. This idyllic rural location is ideal for brides that wish to have exclusive use of a venue. Here you can see Jenny looking stunning with her autumn themed wedding bouquet that I made for her wedding.
Below are photos from several of the weddings that we have decorated at this venue.
The elegant marquee is set in the grounds at Wethele Manor and is plenty big enough to cater for weddings of all sizes.
Wethele Manor have recently been licensed to hold outside wedding ceremonies. In the photo below you can see the new ceremony area.
When you enter the barn at Wethele Manor, you can see why this venue is a popular choice for couples having a civil ceremony. The barn has been restored beautifully retaining the original beams and slate floor. The delicate wooden chairs also complement the room perfectly.

If you are planning a wedding at Wethele Manor and would like help and advice about choosing your wedding flowers, please contact us on 0788 7557489 or by using our contact form on this site. We are looking forward to working on many more wedding flowers for this unique venue in the months to come.
We were fortunate to provide the wedding flowers for Vicky and Ross's recent wedding at Wethele Manor. Vicky's heart was set on having beautiful ivory calla lilies and they looked spectacular in the large Marquee at this venue.
The bride choose this stunning white calla lily shower bouquet (photo above left). I have to say this has been a popular choice this year as shower bouquets are back in fashion. The calla lily when used en masse provides a really classic elegant look. The bridesmaids who wore mint green held stylish sheaf bouquets of white calla lilies.
Above you can see how we placed two pedestal arrangements either side of the registrar's table. The sun shone through the windows and doors on this sunny September day.
The couple decided to stick with their love of calla lilies for all of the table arrangements. They chose to decorate half the tables with an elegant display of calla lilies in the tall vases (photo above left) and the other half with the large goldfish bowls. All of the arrangements had mint green stones in the bottom to tie in with their colour theme. For the top table we placed a series of large and mini goldfish bowls along the length of the table with tea lights linking them (photo above right).


I went to check out the new models at the Bangkok International Motor Show at the BITEC Convention Centre.
Anti government Thai protesters formed a 80km traffic jam today as they made their way into Bangkok.
The streets of Bangkok turned bright red as the red shirted protesters threw blood on the steps of the government buildings.

Action clips wings of former SAA chief
Lynley Donnelly
SAA has issued a second summons against former chief executive Khaya Ngqula, this time for more than $3,4-million (R24,8-million). The airline is suing Ngqula for allegedly awarding a sponsorship agreement to Argentine golfer Angel Cabrera, concluded in 2007.
According to the summons, which the M&G has seen, the contract with Cabrera was valued at $2,25-million, with bonuses of $200 000 for 2007, 2008 and 2009 to be paid on condition that the golfer won at least one major tournament in the relevant calendar year or retained a top-40 world golf ranking.
The airline also wants just more than R229 000 returned for the unauthorised flight tickets Ngqula allegedly granted to Cabrera in January last year.
This brings the amount the airline is trying to claw back from him to well over R52-million.
In the summons SAA accuses Ngqula of signing sponsorships well in excess of the amounts he was authorised to grant.
The summons states that Ngqula was permitted to sign off on sponsorships to the value of only R2-million; anything above that amount had to be signed off by SAA's board of directors.
In the document the airline alleges that Ngqula committed it to a contract he did not have the authority to agree to; failed to adhere to the powers of authority granted him by the airline's delegation of authority framework; and contravened the Public Finance Management Act.
On July 20 SAA issued a summons against Ngqula for more than R27-million for money paid out through the company's retention bonus scheme.
The limit that Ngqula was able to authorise, in accordance with a determination made by the board, was R33,3-million, but the scheme paid out more than R60,7-million under Ngqula's watch. The airline wants the difference repaid.
SAA has previously said that it is also looking into claims that it may have to reclaim an additional R3,3-million for hospitality suites rented out at stadiums across the country, as well as R500 000 for the "free junkets" Ngqula allegedly awarded to friends and associates "in breach of his obligations to the company".
The sponsorship contract with Cabrera lasted from September 2007 to Tuesday this week. This was the same day that the SAA board appeared before Parliament's public spending watchdog, Scopa.
At the committee meeting it reported on progress it had made in addressing the many other issues raised in a forensic report on financial irregularities at the airline by auditing firm KPMG.
No impropriety
SAA board chairperson Cheryl Carolus emphasised in the meeting that while SAA believed Ngqula was not authorised to enter into contracts with Cabrera, Cabrera and his representatives had committed no impropriety.
Ngqula could not be reached for comment but, contacted for comment on the summons, his lawyer, Billy Gundelfinger, said the action would be "defended vigorously".
In its report to Parliament the board indicated that it was examining a further sponsorship agreement with the Association of Tennis Professionals, which expired last year. The sponsorship was valued at about R120-million.
Board member Margie Whitehouse said there was "still a high probability" that SAA would proceed with legal action on this matter.
Despite the actions taken by SAA and its board, Scopa was sharply critical of the role of the previous board, under which Ngqula operated.
The acting director general of public enterprises, Andrew Shaw, told the committee that the department was reviewing the processes used to appoint board members to parastatals.
These measures include ensuring appointees have the relevant skills sets required, assessing potential conflicts of interest, and ensuring candidates have sufficient time to dedicate to the relevant company.
"We have not used any of those previous board members as nominees to boards of state-owned enterprises that report to our department," he said.
Carolus told Scopa that other SAA employees could face criminal charges arising from the KPMG investigations.
SAA spokesperson Fani Zulu refused to comment on the summons. But he said a complaint had been laid with the commercial crimes unit of the police. "They will take the necessary action based on what is before them," he said.

Things To DoTrip IdeasElectric Vehicle TripsNorth Oregon Coast Electric Byway
North Oregon Coast Electric Byway
Eileen Garvin, Author
April 4, 2013 (Updated March 7, 2017)

This journey leads out of the bustling center of Portland down the Columbia River, through the Coast Range and out to the beautiful beaches and friendly towns of Oregon's North Coast. Travel west along the Columbia into the maritime town of Astoria, south to Lincoln City and then back to Portland by way of rolling farmlands on the North Oregon Coast Electric Byway.
Portland to Scappoose
Charging stations:
Portland, Electric Avenue, 121 SW Salmon Street (between SW 1st and 2nd Ave.)
Scappoose, Fred Meyer, 51501 Columbia River Highway
Westport, Berry Patch Restaurant, 49289 Highway 30
While your car is charging up at Portland's Electric Avenue, get a jolt of caffeine from Park Avenue Café, or stop in at Rescue Bagels for something to nosh on during the drive. Take I-405 North to Highway 30 westbound. As you leave the city, notice the verdant hills of Forest Park on your left. With more than 5,000 acres of green space, it represents one of the largest urban forest reserves in the country.
In 20 miles you'll find yourself in the town of Scappoose (pop. 6,802), where you can paddle tranquil Scappoose Bay in a kayak. The secluded watershed, an inlet of the Columbia River, is full of migrating birds, beaver, osprey, otters, turtles, heron, eagles and other wildlife. Take a guided tour with Scappoose Bay Paddling Center or rent a boat to head out by yourself. If you need a charge, there is an EV station at the local Fred Meyer.
Continue west on Highway 30 for 75 miles to Astoria. Along the way you'll pass through the Coast Range and catch glimpses of the mighty Columbia. Charge up at the Berry Patch Restaurant in Westport.
Charging station:
Astoria, Sunset Empire Transit District Station, 900 Marine Drive
Driving into Astoria, you'll see the wide mouth of the Columbia River as it spills toward the Pacific Ocean. Astoria has a maritime flavor like no other Oregon Coast town. Settled in 1811 as a basecamp for the Pacific Fur Company, Astoria remains a working port town. You can watch huge cargo freighters pass under the soaring span of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the longest continuous truss bridge in North America. (Some of the best views are from the luxurious rooms at the Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa.) Stroll the waterfront to see the docked fishing boats, or steep yourself in maritime history at the Columbia River Maritime Museum and the adjacent wooden boat building hub of the Barbey Maritime Center for Research and Industry. From here you can walk to Fort George Brewery + Public House or Wet Dog Café and Brewery for some of the best beer on the Coast.
For a bird's-eye view of the town and river, climb the 164 steps of the Astoria Column on the city's hilltop. Charge your electric vehicle at Sunset Empire Transit District. For human fuel, you'll find a great breakfast at the Blue Scorcher Bakery Café and beer-battered albacore tuna at Bowpicker Fish & Chips, housed in a converted gill net boat.
Back on the road, head south on Highway 101. Stop at Fort Stevens State Park to view the bones of the shipwrecked Peter Iredale where it ran aground in 1906. Visit Fort Clatsop at Lewis and Clark National Memorial Park to learn how the Corps of Discovery survived the Oregon winter here in 1805. From the fort, walk the 6.5-mile Fort to Sea Trail to Sunset Beach and experience the same forests, meadows and beaches Lewis and Clark explored.
Seaside and Cannon Beach
Cannon Beach, Cannon Beach RV Resort, 340 Elk Creek Road
The 25-mile drive from Astoria to Cannon Beach takes you down Highway 101 along the Pacific Ocean. Passing through friendly little towns such as Gearhart (pop. 1,488) and Seaside (pop. 6,453), you'll begin to appreciate the state law that makes all 363 miles of the Coast free and open to the public.
Enjoy Seaside's 1.5-mile beachfront promenade, where you can get a bite to eat, visit the Seaside Aquarium and check out the reconstructed salt works of Lewis and Clark. After you've strolled the beach and had your fill of people-watching, drop by Seaside Brewing Company for a pint of craft beer and some fish tacos or a crab roll.
Stop at Ecola State Park for gorgeous views of the ocean and the potential for spotting migrating gray whales. (The park is one of 24 whale-watching sites established by the state.) Hike the trail to Indian Beach to watch surfers catching waves and stroll the rocks in search of tide pools.
Four miles farther, you'll find yourself in downtown Cannon Beach (pop. 1,691). The quaint town is a walker's delight, full of boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Iconic Haystack Rock (235 feet) rises out of the surf at the central section of the beach. Part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, it's a wonderful place to watch tufted puffins, gulls and cormorants, or peer into teeming tide pools. In the evening, watch the bonfires flicker to life one by one. If you are up for a longer hike, Hug Point, five miles south on the beach, has an unexpected, 12-foot waterfall.
Perk up with a cup of coffee at Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters or a fresh Danish, muffin or loaf of original Haystack bread at Cannon Beach Bakery, family-owned by a third-generation baker. Stop for dinner at Public Coast Brewing Company, where you can choose from nine beers on tap and a menu of fresh catch, organic beef burgers and house-made brats. (Don't miss Stephen's Ankle Breaker Root Beer Float.) If you're staying overnight, Cannon Beach has many lodging options. Check out the family-friendly Surfsand Resort or the romantic Stephanie Inn. Charge your vehicle at the Cannon Beach RV Resort.
Tillamook, Pacific City and Lincoln City
Tillamook, Fred Meyer, 2500 Main Avenue N.
Lincoln City, Cultural Center, 540 Highway 101
Follow Highway 101 South from Cannon Beach toward Tillamook. You'll get great views of the Pacific Ocean, water birds and sea lions along the drive as well as many options for beach combing or strolling the quaint streets of charming little towns such as Manzanita, Wheeler and Bayview.
In Tillamook, don't miss the Pelican Brewery & Taproom for a pint of craft beer and a tasty bowl of chowder. The Tillamook Cheese Factory draws cheese lovers from around the world for a self-guided tour and the chance to sample a range of specialty ice cream flavors. Charge up at the Tillamook Fred Meyer and then head back out toward the Coast on the Three Capes Scenic Tour. This detour off Highway 101 will take you past the Cape Meares Lighthouse and Cape Lookout State Park and down to Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, where you can settle in on the patio at Pelican Pub & Brewery to drink a beer and watch surfers ride the waves and historic dory boats land on the beach.
In Lincoln City, you'll find wide-open beaches and some of the best wind for flying kites on the Coast. The annual kite festival in June highlights expert kite demos, kite-making for kids and some of the biggest, most unique kites in the world. Charge your car at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and then head south to Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area, where you can peer into a large bowl carved out of the stone by the dramatic churning of the ocean, and explore the tide pools on the north side of the feature. Stop in at Blackfish Café for a menu of fresh catch, chowder and fish and chips. Be sure to visit Mojo Coffee to fuel up on caffeine for the drive home. The 90-mile drive back to Portland from Lincoln City will take you along OR-18 into the northern section of the Willamette Valley, where you can check out the Willamette Valley Bounty Electric Byway and find charging stations in Grande Ronde, McMinnville and Newberg.
Don't own an electric vehicle? You can rent an electric BMW i3 from ReachNow in Portland. Visit the ReachNow website for information about how to sign up and start driving.

What is the halacha concerning birkat hagomel after giving birth? How long do I have to say it? Can my husband be my proxy at shul and say it for me? Or do I need to go? (Im 2 1/2 weeks post partum and not ready to go back to shul yet).
Mazel tov on your the birth of your baby!
According to many minhagim, a woman recites birkat hagomel for herself in shul. However, your husband may recite it for you. Rav Yehuda Henkin, the rabbi of this website, discusses this issue in his book Responsa on Contemporary Jewish Women's Issues in the chapter entitled "Women and Birkat Hagomel."
Ideally, this bracha is made within three days of childbirth. Failing that, the first thirty days after childbirth are preferred.

Johnny Cash Net Worth
July 31, 2019 February 16, 2020 Ahmet Hakan Cengiz
Johnny Cash net worth: Johnny Cash was an American singer and songwriter who had a net worth of $ 60 million at the time of his death. Johnny Cash was born in February 1932. Today he is known for being one of the most influential musicians of all time. Most of his songs are considered country songs, although he also ventured into the genres of gospel, blues, folk and rock and roll. His interesting mix of styles also allowed him to be remembered in several salons of fame, a mix that has rarely been achieved. His inductions include country, rock and roll and gospel hall of fame, respectively. Cash was also known for his deep baritone voice, which is still recognizable to this day. Cash moved to Memphis in 1954, where he worked as an appliance seller during the day and as a radio host at night. Then he started playing in bands and looking for a professional musical career. In 1954, Cash married Vivian Liberto, after meeting her on a skating rink. The couple had four daughters, Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy and Tara. However, they divorced in 1966. Then, in 1968, he proposed to June Carter, after having known her for 13 years. After marrying in March of that same year, the couple had a son, John Carter Cash, who was born in 1970. They remained married until the death of June in 2003. Cash died later that year.

Internet usage (worldwide) and the fate of internet in not too distant future
You may be wrong, while congratulating yourself for the delightfully effective internet service provided by WEFE Technologies P. Ltd at Bhubaneswar, presuming that people in Europe or America are the largest users of internet, because stats tell a different story. Out of an estimated 3.5 billion internet users worldwide (2016), the majority of such users are located in East and South Asia, while China had more than 721 million internet users, much above the number of 3rd ranked U.S. with around 290 million internet users.
Incidentally, India ranked 2nd in number of users, while Brazil and Japan completed the rest. In terms of average internet connection speed, South Korea boasts the highest – 27 Mbps, while the global average internet speed was reckoned as 6.1 Mbps (2016).
WORLD INTERNET USAGE AND POPULATION STATISTICS DEC 31, 2017 - Update

How most Internet users access the internet
(based on 2016 facts and figures)
As of late, many internet users turn to their mobile phones to access the internet, even as millennial internet users devote around 3 to 4 hours on mobile internet service almost on a daily basis. Generation X internet users, as stats point out, also spend similar time accessing the internet while on the go. Needless to say, many commercial establishments, sensing this new found phenomenon most profitable, have zeroed in on mobile-first strategy, while at the same time have optimized their content, ,making it mobile-friendly. Some of them have gone one step forward by way of communicating through email, online video, online shopping as well as social media platforms. Instance messaging, during this period, gained much recognition, while WhatsApp turning into the most popular mobile messaging world over with more than a billion monthly active users. Facebook messenger wasn't left behind either (900 million monthly active users). What's more, it was reckoned to be the leading social network with 1.7 billion active users.
Form of Internet in the coming years
Technology, as we all know, is unstoppable. Once it starts rolling, you never know where it will end up. The broadband, during its teething days ran at snails speed. However, today it is much faster. Nevertheless, the fate of internet which qualifies as one of the highest forms of world class technology has a fairly promising horoscope, the findings of which are outlined below.
Internet usage will exceed 5 billion by 2020
Developed countries such as North America and parts of Europe that has already reached the saturation point, with internet penetration reaching well over 80% and therefore may not yarn for further growth, developing nations such as Africa, especially the emerging nations where penetration is as low as 10%, the growth pattern will soar appreciably.
Developing countries are expected to witness the bulk of the growth
The Internet of Things is likely to change
With the critical infrastructure slowly building up, it is reasonable to anticipate that the internet will no more remain as a mere network of computers and instead become a network of devices, which may be called 'things'. Currently, there are 13.4 billion 'things' that are connected to the internet. However, by 2020, this is anticipated to grow up to a colossal figure reaching 38.5 billion.
Wireless Internet worldwide
A vast majority, nay the whole lot of internet users all over the lonely planet will be accessing the internet through their mobile devices in not too distant future. With technologies such as 4G and 5G already in use, they will be able to do so at fabulous speed. With 4G already becoming the standard technology in peninsular India, it is no wonder that most of the developing nations will follow suit. With 5G coming up soon with full vibe pretty soon, the world will witness a new genre of internet users who will surpass its earlier generation by leaps and bounds.
As time passes, the number of internet users will grow till everyone occupying a space in the lonely planet is connected to internet and so each other, regardless of where he or she is located. As a result of this, the difference between person or person will become lesser, ensuring amity and goodwill instead of hostility and hatred and by 2020, there will be one nation and one religion called Humanity. ompleted the rest. In terms of average internet connection speed, South Korea boasts the highest – 27 Mbps, while the global average internet speed was reckoned as 6.1 Mbps (2016).

We're done with our kitchen. After 16 years of Home Depot cabinets with sagging shelves and broken drawers, a tile countertop with missing grout and a stove fan that circulates air into the kitchen, we are ready to upgrade – to experience the good life of smooth granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and glass-tile backsplashes.
Nothing like standing in front of the stove while it blows the fumes right at your face. Great design. I am personally going to smash this with a sledge-hammer when we demo the kitchen.
We are ready for an adult kitchen.
Or we thought we were.
What we believed would be a fun and exciting transformation has a been a self-esteem roller-coaster. And it has to do with living in Los Angeles, where it's damn easy to feel poor every day.
Yes, interviewing contractors delivered the harsh message: we are "paint-grade" people.
We are the people who don't choose the stained, hand-picked maple cabinets or the stone mined in a remote area of Brazil, polished with coca leaves, and hauled by donkey to the United States.
Could we afford the maply-goodness of stained cabinets? Probably, it's all home equity. But it's still our money, the money we worked for. And we elect to save it for a rainy day. Four-thousand dollars to us is not a trivial amount. We'd like our daughter to get a good education. And 4K in her college fund today may be a big deal to her in eight years. Or we hope it will.
The paint-grade people are needed to get the party started.
So, the search continues for the right contractor, the one who walks into our kitchen and doesn't tell me romantic stories of past million-dollar remodels and 30K custom-built dining-room tables. Who doesn't feel the best jobs are in high-income zip codes. A contractor who doesn't frown when you tell him you want painted white cabinets.

I'm still available at a very reasonable rate with loads of experience of working with paint grade people and madmen!
It might be cheaper to fly you out here and have you do it. Not sure I could afford your beer budget though.
We are crayon-grade around here so you are way ahead of us. Remodeling your kitchen should give you tons of great material for this blog.
What's crayon grade? Sounds fun. I don't want it to give me bunch of material. That would mean something had to go wrong. I want it to go smoothly. Alas, nothing does in my life, so yes, blog material coming.
Regardless of how you'd go about getting the labor, I'd definitely check around on Craigslist for the "parts". You might be shocked at the "spoils" you can glean. I was!
Apologies for the delayed reply. Life stuff got in the way. First, it's good to hear from you. Hope you are well and having fun in life.
Great suggestion about CL. I'm Mr. CL. I hadn't thought of it. I'll check it out. Perhaps there will a Beverly Hills type who wants to adopt an individual who happens to look stunning with a bag over his head.
We're currently remodeling our kitchen, too! Well, let me rephrase that. Our house is formerly a duplex and we're basically trying to remodel the entire upstairs apartment in order to make the whole thing a "real house". We decided the kitchen would be the first major project so Adam recently tore out the flooring and a few cabinet and, immediately realized it was going to be a MUCH more expensive and time consuming project than we anticipated (we'll be doing 80% of the work ourselves). So now we're living in a total disaster area until we figure out what the hell we're going to do. We're seriously considering just sanding and re-hinging the existing cabinets, slapping a fresh coat of paint on 'em and calling it good… for now. I guess I never realized it, but we're totally paint grade people as well. Best of luck to you!
Hello to you. Doing the work will save money, but it does take more time. I learned this when I did a bathroom remodel myself. 6 months later . . . . This time we're looking forward to the three weeks the contractor promised, which is especially important for a kitchen as we eat there.

Punching their ticket
The DCSS Penguins knock off rival NPSS in the AAA boys basketball provincial zone qualifier on Saturday to book a ticket to provincials.
Byron Hackett Mar 1, 2015 12:44 PM
When the final buzzer sounded, it looked more like a family reunion than the end of a basketball game, as the Dawson Creek Secondary School Penguins marked their place in school history.
DCSS booked an appearance in the B.C. high school AAA basketball provincials for the first time since 1977, by knocking off the NPSS Oscars with a convincing 83-72 win in Fort St. John on Saturday.
It was a culmination of 13 years of work with the program according to DCSS head coach Richard Payne, who spoke post game wearing the mesh of the net like a sash as is customary for title winners in the basketball realm.
"It's been a long road for us," Payne said. "For me it's been 13 years since I've moved up here. I couldn't breathe. It was something I've never experienced. I've seen it, we've gone through it with North Peace, battling back and forth. Too bad we don't have two berths because these are two tough teams. I'd love to see us both go."
For the players it had been a vision the last four years and senior Ben Van Spronsen, who was named Most Valuable Player for the weekend tournament, said the feeling was simply pure elation.
It was pretty overwhelming," he said. "We put in a lot of hard work, we wanted to do it last year but North Peace was a lot better team so they got it from us last year. We worked really hard this year and were able to do it."
Over the course of the season and the weekend zone qualifier it was clear that DCSS and NPSS were posed to meet in the final, both cruising to victories against their game one opponents.
On Friday night the two teams met for the first of three meetings on the weekend in the double elimination event, with the visiting Penguins coming out on top 85-78.
With their tournament lives on the line Saturday morning after the loss, NPSS disposed of Duchess Park 98-81 to line up a rematch with DCSS.
When Saturday afternoon rolled around, the NPSS gym was filled with rambunctious hometown fans and the Oscars wouldn't disappoint, beating the visitors 79-72 to set up the 8:00 p.m. winner take all final.
Dawson Creek had their own section of rowdy fans for the prime time matchup Saturday night, and the visiting fans willed their team to a first half 39-34 lead.
In the third quarter the Penguins outscored the home side 23-14 and ultimately pulled away from the Oscars clinching the 83-72 win with consistent play down the stretch.
The difference between the first and second game according to Van Spronsen, was a little last minute research.
"They surprised us with a 1-3-1 zone," the MVP said of the first game Saturday. "We had no answer for that. They played phenomenal defense. My mom was actually videotaping the game, we did a bunch of review after our game and we planned for it and that was the difference for sure."
That offensive adjustment lead to clever ball movement and some timely three point shooting, all aspects of the game that Payne has been stressing to his team since day one.
"We just believed in ourselves," Payne said of his team's ability to pull through in the end. "I worked it out. It was back and forth all season. I looked at it, they won, we won, they won, we won— it was our turn to do it. The boys stayed within themselves and played outside their skin. It was a great effort from all my boys. My coaching staff, everybody involved— the fans. Everybody that supported us for many, many years."
The Penguins will now travel to Langley from March 10-15 to take on some of the best basketball teams in the province and will also be joined by A North Central zone champ Ron Pettigrew Christian School, also from Dawson Creek.

Does Acquiring More Stuff Hurt Your Character?
In the end, having character is about settling. And I firmly believe one key to the happy life is settling. By settling I mean it's a decision to no longer be gluttonous. I'm gluttonous in so many ways. Not just with food, but with relationships and praise and money and so many other things. Having good character means settling for what little I have, and participating in life rather than trying to conquer life.
Don has written so many good things about living a better story, but this one in particular- this one has really been working on me. Little by little, I'm more uncomfortable -Because it's something that I am terrible about admitting and owning. Ironic-that "owning" is the word that I chose there.
Owning is such a strange concept for believers, but one that seems to be the catalyst for so many issues with character. If I really believe the biblical narrative, and the origin of every human to ever walk the earth, it's silly to accumulate and think of this collection of things- even if they are intangibles- as a true measure of who I am.
Here is what I'm learning. Spending my time obsessing about and collecting the next "thing" will not get me closer to God. In fact, they may just become the idol that keeps me from truth. Good character is about consistently choosing to spend my time and energy on things that really matter.

Children of a N. . .
Children of a New World
By S.S. Sundaram March 2006 Born spiritually advanced, indigo children are supposed to change established systems once they grow up, ringing in the golden age as prophesied by spiritual groups. It's a Wise Childwhat a mother learnt about and from crystal childrenby Ranjini Woodhouse One day after of a tiff with a friend, I was upset and she walked away in anger. One of my children came up to me and said, 'There is no need for you to be upset. She is a user and when she can't have her way she storms off in anger and later she comes back and dumps on you.' This could have only come from an Indigo or a Crystal, the special children in our midst who tend to be forthright and brutally honest. As adults we have to learn to respect them. Many parents come to me saying, 'My child has been diagnosed as autistic but I know it is not so.' An autistic person is disconnected from people, doesn't talk because of indifference to communicating with others and yet is highly intelligent. Symptoms similar to the traits of Crystal children. If you observe Crystals, they use telepathy, self-fashioned sign language and sounds to get across their message to their parents and siblings. They are caring and cuddly, especially to older people, plants and animals. Because of their affinity with the animal kingdom, many of them refuse to eat any meat, poultry or fish from the time they start eating solid foods. As parents we could honour their wishes and find other sources of protein. One day I saw a six-year-old in her bedroom, sitting in the lotus position in a circle of crystals, improvised from her mother's crystal chains. On asking, she said she was 'diditating', further elaborating: 'God is talking to me – he is telling lots of nice stories and I am listening to Him. He is telling me how to use these crystals to help people feel better. He also told me that I am beautiful and just like me everyone is beautiful and we should all love each other.' This is not something that you expect a six-year-old to say! After a while she came downstairs where the adults were, looked at me through her piercing eyes and said, 'You have pain in your shoulders and I will put this crystal here. You will feel it buzz, buzz, buzz and then it will be all better.' She placed the crystal on my solar plexus and immediately I felt a buzz in my shoulders. I was amazed that she knew about the pain in my shoulder. The Indigo and Crystal children are no different to other children in that they too need structure, guidance and discipline. As parents and teachers, we must approach these children with respect, sincerity and love. I am humbled and blessed by the presence of these children on our planet. Ranjini Woodhouse is a US-based light coach and angeltherapy practitioner. Contact:souloflight.ranjini@gmail.com The humongous popularity of Harry Potter books and movies couldn't have come out of a vacuum. Some part in the children worldwide must have identified with the psychic powers of Harry Potter and company. Now a trend that has come to notice in the West is that many children in our midst are indeed spiritually advanced or psychic. Called Indigo children, they are the subject of a dozen major books, scores of websites and even a feature film. They are called Indigo children because of the predominance of indigo (a dark shade of blue) color in their auras, which clairvoyants can see. Indigo is the color of the third eye chakra, which regulates clairvoyance, or the ability to see energy, visions and spirits. Observers and analysts of the New Age are even arguing that Indigos have a special role in the evolution of humanity. They are here to fulfill the various prophecies of a coming New Age, said to dawn around the year 2012. Says Dr Sunny Satin, California-based NRI hypnotherapist who has been training therapists in India and has conducted seminars in Delhi and Mumbai recently on the Indigos, 'Their mission on earth is to change established systems once they grow up.' The Indigo phenomenon was first brought to light by Lee Carroll, the channel for Kryon, and his wife Jan Tober (both also work as a team of self-help professionals in the US) in their 1999 book, The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived. The book carried essays by counselors, paediatricians and educationists. As more and more parents started identifying their children's traits with those of Indigos, more books and websites cropped up on the subject. The small budget Indigo, a film produced and directed by Hollywood's Stephen Simon, starring Neale Donald Walsch, author of the bestselling Conversations with God series of books, became an underground hit using the unconventional distribution strategy of screening at churches, etc. The story of the film revolves around an Indigo girl who uses her ingenuity and special powers such as foreseeing events to reunite her dysfunctional family. The film was followed by a documentary on the Indigo phenomenon. Finally, the mainstream media woke up to the phenomenon. Last year, CNN, ABC and New York Times carried stories on the subject. By now educational institutions like the Waldorf, set up by Rudolf Steiner, the anthroposophy founder, and Montessori schools, have developed programmes to cater to the special talents of these children. Support groups have come up to help Indigos' unsuspecting parents cope with their precocious progeny. A debate is also raging that some of the hundreds of thousands of children diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), may in fact be Indigos. Advocacy groups are offering a fierce opposition to the ADD drug Ritalan (Lee Carrol estimates that 20 per cent of pre-schoolers in the US are on Ritalin). By now the question you will be asking is, how can I identify whether my child is an Indigo. According to Lee and Jan's book, these are the 10 common behaviour traits of Indigos:o They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).o They have a feeling of 'deserving to be here', and are surprised when others don't share that.o Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell parents 'who they are'.o They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).o They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.o They get frustrated with systems that are ritual-oriented and don't require creative thought.o They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like 'system busters' (nonconforming to any system).o They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.o They will not respond to 'guilt' discipline ('Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did').o They are not shy in letting you know what they need. Dr Deepak Vaide, a physician who writes a weekly Tarot column in The Times of India, claims that he is a clairvoyant and can identify Indigos. He says the percentage of Indigos being born is increasing each year. And since he practices in old Delhi, he notices that Indigos are not restricted to the upper or elite classes. Also, that the Indigo percentage of total children born is going up with each passing year. Closer home, he says, his step-daughter, Vidhi, 21, and nephew, Rohan, 9, are Indigos. Vidhi, who is doing her Master's in advertising and marketing from Amity, says she is hyperactive, good with gadgets, has an urge for knowledge, wants to do things her way and knows what she wants to do in life – impact lots of people. In Mumbai, Prem Nirmal, an electronics engineer-turned-spiritual guide, hasn't heard of Indigo children, but feels his daughter, Kalyani, 14, is a spiritual child. 'She carries a sense of calm around her and displays a rare maturity.' Kalyani, who studies in standard IX in Singhania School, Thane, finds her thought patterns to be different from her peers, some of whom she finds silly. She pays attention in school, not needing to study at home. She has learnt to play the synthesizer, is learning Bharatanatyam and has had her arangetram already. Delving into the material on begetting spiritual children in Indian scriptures, Dr Geetanjali Shah, a paediatrician, and her gynecologist husband, Dr Vikram Shah, have added this component in their three maternity and nursing homes, named Ashwini, in central Mumbai. The rituals and procedures extend from pre-conception to pregnancy and postpartum period. Manoj Lekhi, a follower of the Bangalore-based guru Rishi Prabhakar, also worked with similar material to guide parents, and has started MET Rishikul Vidyalaya in Bandra, where 150 children of such parents and others are studying. He claims many of the four-year-olds are able to read books like adults, play the tabla, and stay for extended periods away from their parents. Not everybody agrees that a new generation has dawned. Lina Asher, who founded the Kangaroo Kids-Billabong High chain of schools, refuses to comment. Yet she recounts how her son Drish, now 14 and studying in Melbourne, at age two-plus 'once held a plate of chicken, and suddenly asked me, 'How will you feel if somebody killed your son and cooked him?' 'I will cry,' I replied. 'I hear the mummy of this chicken crying,' he said, putting away his plate. He has never touched meat since. What impressed me most was the ingenious way he pre-empted any opposition from me.'Asher also says that in her schools they strive to mobilize multiple intelligences – includin


First of all i wish to thanks everyone for their help, i put a thread in on Discussions on being a newbie that needed help! and wow really impressed with the response I've had, not being a person of great skill when coming to a flight sim, i am hoping to get to a reasonable level as quick as i can!, and having help from Marlow it looks like i might be able to learn and enjoy this game which i really wish to do.
Never been a great fan of Multiplayer which might surprise some of you i am quite looking forward to it now, although I've along way to go yet, as never used a joystick or tackled a real fight sim like this it could be a while. Any how thanks to all that have helped me so far once my joy stick arrives ill be attempting to fly. Really like this site and i am glad that this game/sim has the backing of enthusiastic people and a Gaming Team like fusion etc that's willing to keep improving this game (please continue to do so), really cant wait to see for myself what this game/sim is like. all the best to you all.
Yes, there is a lot to learn but you've made a great start and we have to remember .....'a Spitfire wasn't built in a day!' (Although a Wellington was...once....but that's another story! Ha ha!) You have Team Speak sorted and that's a big obstacle out of the way and a huge 'plus' in your arsenal! Have fun looking at Sconesy's Flashcard and learn those 'taps' because ATAG_Snapper won't let you take off solo until you have them all off pat! Ha ha!
I'll try and get 'on' a little later so we can 'crack on' a little bit! Have fun...and Salute!
This is a fantastic community! Marlow has helped me many times, he's a man of unstinting assistance and dedication.
Hope to see you in the skies, DB.
Last night was a crackin' night of training, DB, and to see you land your Hurricane FIRST TIME........ with so soft a touchdown that you didn't even disturb your side-parting was AWESOME! Most of us 'bent' a few aircraft the first time we tried a landing. This man will have the DFC within a month, I reckon!
Keep up the good work, DB! Salute!
I understand why they did it, but we are greatfull to have TFS, as there has not been a solid British/German sim of IL2's quality before to my knowledge. Honestly Cliffs has been the definitive line in IL2's change over to ultimate realism.
As for myself I had been under the radar until about a year ago. I just switch the sim into full realistic engine control, got myself an online checklist, and taught myself how to fly a Hurricane without it spewing all that white stuff everywhere.
I would say the two main learning curves are A. Flight Theory, and B. Engine Management. But don't worry, all good fun, and can be quite easy to pick up too.
Have fun, the chaps here are pretty great! Don't forget to drop in to one of our events such as the Tiger Moth comp, it is a great opportunity to get together with the lads!

So did I witness your first successful take off at Shoreham yesterday?
Well done to Marlow for helping yet another new pilot comes to grips with flying their favourite aircraft.
My first foray also involved Marlow. Winged up with The great man, flew to Calais, spotted a poor Stuka.
Let's get stuck in he said. When an ace tells you to do something, well, we got stuck in alright.
Stuck in our cockpits 10 foot under water water with that Stuka flying over head most pleased with his two kills!
BWAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH! If only it wasn't true....but it was! Ha ha! So I have to claim credit for showing Pat how to die with 'stiff upper lip' firmly in place!
Ha ha! No, I've never forgotten either, Pat! Salute!
.....and that's quite enough of that, Knighty....or you'll be right off Big Hilda's doughnut list!!!!!!!! Ha ha! Salute!


Blade's in the process of doing that MT migration thing for the Court. Over the next few days things might go a bit wonky. Beaks and wingtips inside the blog at all times, please.
UPDATE: Owls' Court is now officially hosted over at my own Owldaughter web site. If you have reached this old weblog through Blogger or thanks to the tenacious cache of Google, the owlies have since removed their place of habitation; the fun continues over at Owldaughter!

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the space bar on my keyboard?

It's dark, it's grey, it's gloomy, and I have a vaguely nauseous feeling that's probably directly connected to the amount of food I ate last night at my in-laws' place. It's now pouring and HRH probably still won't come home early, just as he hasn't the last rain days this month.
I finished the rewrite of the proposal and sent it off, so I've done some sort of Real Work today. Let's see if the pub board is a bit more comfortable with a book which talks about using the seasons to support spellcasting.

1. Do you feel those with pagan beliefs should attempt to take more of a political stand?
I feel that religion and spirituality has nothing to do with how politically active an individual should or should not be. That's up to the individual. I would never stand for a religion or spirituality dictating my political behaviour to me. Certainly, I tend to be more vocal concerning areas honoured by pagan paths, such as environmental issues, the right to expression, the freedom of religion, health care, and education; this, however, is a result of common interests, not due to my involvement as a pagan or my commitment to the Wiccan path.
3. Given your beliefs, what's one thing that a political figure could promise to you about your path, that would convince you to vote for them?
No single promise would convince me to vote for anyone. I consider it my responsibility as a citizen to not be swayed by single issues, so I look at the entire platform. An individual could promise me a 100% increase in recycling investment, and if I didn't look at the rest of the platform I might allow education cuts, a reduction in rights and freedoms to slip by. That's irresponsible.
Come the restoration of the monarchy, however, things will be much improved. Hail to the king!

Pasley and I escaped to have cool sangria and nibbles yesterday afternoon when both of us were about to pop, and we also stopped in at a new tea shop I'd seen a few weeks ago as I drove past.
Un Amour des Thes is a smaller, more welcoming, better-staffed tea merchant than the tea emporium in Westmount ever was. I love it. I am currently drinking Petales de Rose, a blend of Ceylon tea, rose petals, and rose essence, and I fully intend to return for a sample of other kinds (such as the Ceylon cocoa essence mint, and Ceylon caramel, plus all the lovely expensive teas in tall tins behind the wooden counter), plus a tea press when I get my next cheque from the publisher. They're all blended on-site, and I'm so delighted. The energy there is wonderful. And they do tea-tastings, and workshops too.

There. HRH has an on-line CV and sample portfolio, whether he likes it or not. For the moment, please don't add it to your links; it needs final approval and so forth. Don't bother pointing out that there's no contact info; I know there isn't. The site isn't meant to advertise, it's meant to serve as a literal electronic portfolio, the URL of which will be included in applications made by HRH to lucky studios and businesses who as of yet are unaware of his talents and skills.
I appear to have a stomach-ache. Eating would probably help.

More Than a Shop

Retail therapy is how many shoppers justify their bulging closets, but that new purse or coat purchased in the Friends Shop at the Monroe Carell Jr.
Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt is truly part of the healing process — the source of the toy or balloon that brightens a
patient's stay, an escape for families and staff, and, for all who purchase something, a way to support the mission of the hospital.
But don't let store manager Debbie Binkley hear you call the Friends Shop a "gift shop." She has worked tirelessly to shape it into a specialty boutique, offering the most innovative toys, the hottest plush (retail-speak for stuffed animals) and on-trend clothes and accessories.
"We work hard to be a true boutique and make sure we don't have what everyone else in Nashville has. Our store is
whimsical and fun and not what you would expect in a hospital," Binkley said.
And that hard work has paid off. Within three years of its 2004 opening, the Friends Shop had paid off all its start-up debt and is able to give back about $75,000 of profits each year to Children's Hospital.
"For a store of our size, even if we were in the private sector, it would be really hard to have that much profit, so we're very proud of that," Binkley said.

Jacob Evans sustained a toe injury at the end of Friday's practice and is unlikely to play in Golden State's Summer League opener.
Evans also missed shootaround today. The Warriors officially announced his signing a few hours ago and this has the looks of a very minor injury. He could be in the running for a rotation spot in his rookie season since the team needs help on the wings, so Evans is a player to monitor over the course of Summer League.

St Patrick's Father John Ryan was ordained as Bishop of Mzuzu, Malawi, at St Peter's Cathederal in Mzuzu on Saturday 27th August 2016.
Bishop John is from Holy Cross in County Tipperary in Ireland. He came to Kiltegan in 1970 and was ordained in 1978, and since then has ministered in Malawi. He has been involved in pastoral work throughout his time in Malawi, but has also been involved in teaching Mathematics in the University of Mzuzu, having completed his MA and PhD in Mathematics at University College Cork.

The President of Malawi, Prof Peter Mutharika, and the Vice President, Dr Saulos Chilima, attended the ceremony. Members of Bishop John's family travelled from Ireland to be with him on the occasion and many members of St Patrick's Missionary Society were there to support him.

First trailer for "Tag"
April 8th 2018 Posted by: admin Leave A Comment
The trailer for Isla's upcoming comedy movie Tag has recently been released, and you can watch it below. We'll have more from this movie for you soon…
For one month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they've been playing since the first grade—risking their necks, their jobs and their relationships to take each other down with the battle cry: "You're It!"
This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they're coming…and he's ready.
Based on a true story, the New Line Cinema comedy "Tag" shows how far some guys will go to be the last man standing.
"Tag" is directed by Jeff Tomsic (Comedy Central's "Broad City"), with a starring ensemble cast led by Ed Helms (The "Hangover" movies, "We're the Millers"), Jake Johnson (TV's "New Girl"), Annabelle Wallis ("The Mummy"), Rashida Jones (TV's "Parks and Recreation"), Isla Fisher ("Now You See Me"), Leslie Bibb ("Iron Man 2"), Hannibal Buress ("Neighbors"), with Jon Hamm ("Baby Driver," TV's "Mad Men") and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner ("The Hurt Locker," "The Town"). The "Tag" screenplay was written by Rob McKittrick ("Waiting") and Mark Steilen (TV's "Mozart in the Jungle"), screen story by Mark Steilen, and based on the Wall Street Journal article entitled "It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being It," by Russell Adams. The film is produced by Todd Garner and Mark Steilen, with Hans Ritter, Richard Brener, Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter serving as executive producers.
The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Larry Blanford, production designer David Sandefur, editor Josh Crockett, and costume designer Denise Wingate. "Tag" is set for a June 15, 2018, release.

House Easily Passes Bill To Protect Americans From Harmful Chemicals
The bill is the first significant update to chemical safety laws since the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act. Both the Senate and President Barack Obama are expected to approve the sweeping regulations.
The Associated Press: House Approves Bill to Regulate Toxic Chemicals
The House on Tuesday easily approved a bipartisan bill that would for the first time regulate tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products from household cleaners to clothing and furniture. Supporters said the bill would clear up a hodgepodge of state rules and update and improve a toxic-chemicals law that has remained unchanged for 40 years. (5/24)
The Wall Street Journal: House Passes Sweeping Chemical Safety Bill
The bill, the first significant update to federal chemicals safety law in 40 years, is expected to be passed by the Senate as soon as this week and signed into law by President Barack Obama. It passed 403 to 12. It gives the Environmental Protection Agency authority to evaluate and impose restrictions on chemicals used in everything from dry-cleaning to grease removal to paint thinners. In most cases, that authority pre-empts states from passing laws to regulate a chemical while the EPA is making its determination. (Berzon and Harder, 5/24)
The New York Times: House Set To Subject 64,000 Household Chemicals To Regulation
Public health advocates and environmentalists have complained for decades that the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act is outdated and riddled with gaps that leave Americans exposed to harmful chemicals. Under current law, around 64,000 chemicals are not subject to environmental testing or regulation. Efforts to tighten the law have stalled for years, in part because of opposition from the chemical industry. The bipartisan authors of the bill say their breakthrough represents a pragmatic, politically viable compromise between better environmental standards and the demands of industry. In particular, Senator Tom Udall, Democrat of New Mexico, worked closely with the American Chemistry Council to come up with language that would win the support of the industry and pass through the generally regulation-averse Republican Congress.

Wild hurricane season in Caribbean appears to be over
By Brendan Loy 9:43 PM on November 12, 2008
Cayman Brac is vowing to rebuild after being devastated by Hurricane Paloma over the weekend. For now, however, "over half of the islands 2,000 residents remain at least temporarily homeless, and are either staying in hurricane shelters, with friends and family, or have fled to Grand Cayman," according to the Cay Compass.
Meanwhile, the Castro government says Cuba has suffered $10 billion in damage from Hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Paloma. Of that total, $1.4 billion was caused by Paloma. Cuba says it evacuated 1.2 million people out of Paloma's path, and that no one died — though such claims are difficult, if not impossible, to verify. A dissident group claims there was one death in the storm.
Thankfully, for both the Caymans and Cuba, all is now quiet in the tropical Atlantic, with no threat areas to discuss. Dr. Jeff Masters thinks we could get a Subtropical Storm Rene over open water south of Azores in a week's time, but if so, it would be no threat to land. "I am not expecting any more tropical storms this season that will threaten land areas," he writes. "With wind shear expected to rise over the Caribbean later this week, and continue to remain at high levels until late November, it is likely that the Atlantic hurricane season of 2008 is finally over in the Caribbean."
And what a season it was. Via ReliefWeb, here's a map of the 2008 hurricane season in the Caribbean:
