Pre-election tensions in Georgia
On 18 September the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs revealed cases of prisoners being treated brutally in the Gldani jail in Tbilisi and announced that arrests had been made and that an investigation was being launched with regard to this scandal. Soon afterwards TV stations linked with the opposition broadcast a video showing brutality against prisoners (including a case of rape using a stick). This sparked off protests with several thousand people gathering together across the country. The protests were, however, calmed down, in part due to the opposition. In the aftermath of the scandal the minister responsible for the penitentiary system and the interior minister were dismissed. This scandal also added more tension to the already heated campaign before the parliamentary election scheduled for 1 October.
The unsettling situation in Georgian prisons has for years been the subject of severe criticism both within the country (including reports by the ombudsman) and by foreign observers (including reports prepared by the US State Department). After the scandal was made public, the Georgian government announced a thorough reform of the whole system – Giorgi Tugushi was appointed new prisons minister; he has been a critic of the penitentiary system to date and is a former ombudsman.
- This scandal is an element of a heated election campaign, in which the main opponents are the ruling United National Movement (ENM) and the opposition party – the Georgian Dream (GD) gathered around Bidzina Ivanishvili. The scandal has shaken society, strengthened anti-government feelings and mobilised the electorate of the opposition. However, various factors have pre-empted and to a certain degree mitigated its political impact. These include: the fact that the scandal was exposed and followed up with arrests, dismissals and a level of self-criticism from the government previously unseen within the post-Soviet area Ivanishvili decided to calm down protests which he thought to be premature. The Patriarch Ilia II, who enjoys huge authority in Georgia, also called for calm (and an investigation).
- The scandal has had a substantial impact on the electoral campaign; the opposition has been using it to mobilise its voters, to illustrate the "brutality of the regime" and to justify its demand for the president to step down. On the other hand, the government has been accusing the opposition of manipulation, links with the criminal world and of seeking to destabilise the country (this last would be part of Russia's anti-Georgian policy and indeed inspired by Moscow). This tension is also illustrated by the arrests of opposition activists by the police in the last week before the election; according to the opposition, these arrests are of a political nature but the government claims they have been provoked by the opposition in order to aggravate the situation and discredit the ruling camp.
- The approaching election has special significance: for the first time since the Rose Revolution (2003) the government has had a serious (despite its internal incoherence) rival: the Georgian Dream (GD). Furthermore, following the amendments to the constitution and the approaching end of President Saakashvili's term in office (2013), the role of parliament will considerably increase. Opinion polls conducted at the beginning of September show that the United National Movement (ENM) could rally approximately 40% of the vote and GD – approximately 20%, with 40% of those surveyed remaining undecided. It is equally important – for Georgia itself but also for the country's image in the West – that the election will be held in compliance with democratic standards and that it will develop calmly. The political polarisation in Georgia, emotions linked with the election and actions undertaken and announcements made by the opposition prove that the electoral campaign will be getting tougher; the opposition will question the democratic character of the election and the prospect of post-election protests seems quite likely.

G20 Trade Ministers Urged to Fight "Forced Localization" Policies
Posted July 21, 2014
In a joint statement issued last week, industry associations from around the world representing a multitude of sectors urged G20 trade ministers to address the rapidly growing challenge of "forced localization" – a harmful protectionist trend they contend is threatening to undermine the very foundation of a successful global trade market.
So-called "forced localization" policies seek to impose location-specific conditions on global production, procurement, investment, and data flows. They are non-tariff barriers designed to protect, favour, or stimulate domestic manufacturing industries, service providers, and/or intellectual property (IP) providers at the expense of foreign competitors, particularly those operating in innovative industries.
The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that, since 2009 alone, local content requirements implemented by various countries have had a total negative impact of more than $3 trillion on global trade.
The trade groups said the world's largest advanced and emerging economies must "resist measures that isolate their own markets through forced localization policies and actively work to encourage other governments to do likewise."
"The rise of forced localization policies, notably in important sectors such as manufacturing, services and information and communication technologies (ICT), marks a troubling shift in global trade and economic policies," the letter said.
According to the National Association of Manufacturers, "Unless policymakers raise forced localization policies as a global economic priority and agree to take united action to address it, the impact on the U.S. economy and economies across the globe will be substantial."

Wednesday 19 April 2017
5.35 am
Wakefield, Nelson, South Island
large yellow light
Sky clear and dark. Duration of sighting approximately one and a half minutes.
The witness was walking to his car when he noticed a bright light moving through the sky. It was travelling north over Wakefield when he first saw it, and he judged its altitude to be about 7 to 800 feet, moving slowly. He tapped on the bedroom window to wake his wife and she also witnessed the bright yellow light. They continued to watch the light until it was obscured from view. The two witnesses judged the bright light to be about the size of a car.
Saturday 1 April 2017
Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, South Island
2 red objects, distinct shapes
Warm, still evening; no wind; clear visibility. Duration of sighting 7 seconds.
The witness and his wife had just had arrived home and were standing in their driveway admiring the Milky Way, when two objects passed overhead in formation, one slightly behind the other. They were dark red and not particularly bright, and shaped similar to the Spark Logo (star-like). However the width of each object was greater than the length, and they appeared to have four winglets. They tracked across the sky from east to west, very fast. The witness estimated that they took seven seconds to go from roughly overhead to around 40° above the horizon, when they were obscured from view behind rooflines. The witness thinks they converged and crossed over each other's track just before becoming obscured. They were completely silent and had no flashing lights.
The witnesses considered birds, satellites, planes, and drones as possible explanations, but discounted all of these as they did not match the characteristics of what they had observed.
Wednesday 18 January 2017
5.40 am
Wakefield, Tasman, Nelson, South Island
bright yellow light
Duration of sighting approx 10-15 seconds.
The witness was walking out his front gate to go to work early in the morning when he observed a large yellow object/light travelling east to west at an estimated altitude of 7 to 800 feet. Its speed was slow, estimated at 40 km an hour. The witness watched as the object/light moved away from him, travelling horizontally in a straight line. He estimated the object's size to be at least, as big as a car. He was not able to discern any sound at all from the object and there were no blinking lights. The witness remained watching the object/light until it passed into cloud.

Why we can't rely on this or any other hermeneutical principle
We live in an era of transition between more stable ages. We face material choices now that will shape and serve our communities for long generations to come. Society is emerging in fits and starts from centuries of essentialism that defined people by race, gender, religion, and class into narrow identities with determined roles.
They constructed the rainbow-colored crosses on holy ground. That very soil bore witness to the fact that love could overcome discrimination. It was the same plot where the Rev. Leroy and Gloria Griffith were married over forty years ago.

Only 18 more months for Maithree to be in President's chair – Mahinda Rajapaksa
Posted on December 17th, 2017
Translated by :A.A.M.NIZAM – MATARA
Given below is a translation of a media release issued by the former President Mr. Mahinda Rajapakssa.
The forthcoming Local Government election will be the beginning of a chain of elections running up to the next Presidential Election
Now nominations have been accepted for the local government elections which were delayed for three years owing to the fear of going before the people. Although the local government election does not change a ruling power this particular local government election has a special significance since it is the first opportunity got by the people of this country to register their protests against the government. The last election held in the country was the 2015 General election and people know what and what shameless things were done by Sirisena to make the United National Party victorious in that election and to destabilize the election campaign of the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) by issuing statements unfavourable to the UPFA a few days before the election and simultaneously dismissing the General Secretaries of both UPFA and the SLFP.
The message sent to the country by these shameless acts was that the spoon is in the hands of the President and even if the UNP gets defeated in that election it will be the victors. It is how Sirisena engineered the UNP victory in that election. That is why the joint opposition is facing this election under a new organization and a new symbol. The objective of the joint opposition is to provide an alternative to the people opposed to this government. Although the SLFP group in the government makes public statements against the UNP they remaining as partners in the Cabinet provide all assistance and support in all matters to run and sustain this coalition government.
The SLFP Ministers vote for the UNP budgets every year. The whole country witnessed them vote for the UNP's 2018 budget a few days ago. Both parties work in cooperation for selling of national assets. When the Minister appointed through the UNP opposed the deal relating to the Hambantota harbour he was replaced by a SLFP Minister and that adverse deal initiated by the UNP was concluded by the SLFP. The whole country witnessed the show of UNP Prime Minister holding the dummy cheque of US$ 292 million received by selling Hanbantota to a foreign company and dancing and the SLFP Ministers clapping their hands.
The SLFP group is working in close coordination with the UNP to bring in a new constitution to segregate this country into nine federal sovereign states. It is only for the matter of abolition of the executive presidency proposed in the new constitution the SLFP group opposes. The SLFP has not even opposed the ETCA which the UNP is going to sign with India. The whole country witnessed the SLFP group in the government and the UNP working in collaboration for postponement of local government elections and elections for provincial councils. When the war heroes are being imprisoned in tandem what the SLFP President has done instead of cooperating with it?
Although the JVP acts as a political party of the opposition it is also a main partner of the yahapalana combine. This government has received from the very beginning the cooperation of the JVP for all its anti democratic activities. The JVP leader was a member of the committee comprising members of the yahapalana ministers, politicians and NGO activists that was steering the activities of the FCID. They extensively criticize the joint opposition but criticize the government very lightly. The JVP is supportive of the proposed new constitution. It was the JVP that provided the 2/3 majority required in the Parliament to change the election system to refrain from holding provincial council elections and postponing these elections. .
Before that the JVP extended its support to the government to change the local government election Laws in violation of standing orders of the Parliament and in violation of the constitution. The JVP under the leadership of Mr.Somawansa Amaraasinghe which supported me in the 2005 election to prevent Ranil Wickremasinghe coming to power has now become a cat's paw of the UNP under a different leadership. Therefore all voters should understand that the joint opposition is the only anti government force in the country contesting in the forthcoming local government election.
The local government election that is to be held in February 2018 will be the first of a series of elections running up to the next presidential election. According to the change effected by the 19th Amendment to Article 30(2) of the Constitution, the term of office of the President was reduced to five years. By the provisions of Section 49(1)(b) of the 19th Amendment, that change has been made specifically applicable to the incumbent President as well. Hence the term of office of the incumbent President ends on 9 January 2020.According to Article 31(3) of our Constitution, a Presidential election has to be held not more than two months and not less than one month before the incumbent President's term of office expires. Hence the next presidential election will have to be held between 9 November and 9 December 2019.
When the mandatory periods between the declaration of the election, calling for nominations and the subsequent period up to the poll laid down in the Presidential Elections Act of 1981 are taken into account, it is clear that the next presidential election process will have to begin by October 2019.Hence there will only be around 18 months between the local government elections of February 2018 and the beginning of the next Presidential elections process in 2019.The government will have to hold the postponed provincial council elections as well before the next presidential elections. The Sabaragamuwa, North Central and Eastern provincial council elections have already been dissolved and the Northern and Wayamaba Provincial Councils will also stand dissolved next year. Since this government was elected to power on the majorities received from the north and east, they will not be able to face the next presidential elections without functioning provincial councils in those two provinces.

Thoughts on the words of two Christmas songs …
"He sing zuhl luv song a-zweego oo uhl l0ng oo-aw-kin nin nuh oo-in-tuhr oo-un-duhr-land"
Puzzled ?
We were ……. but not for long,
"Winter wonderland" – a fantastic arrangement by Leo Arnaud.
How about the traditional words for "Cherry Tree Carol" :
- O then bespoke Mary, so meek and so mild,
- 'Pluck me one cherry, Joseph, for I am with child.'
O then bespoke Joseph with words so unkind,
- 'Let him pluck thee a cherry that brought thee with child.'
O then bespoke the babe within his mother's womb,
- 'Bow down then the tallest tree for my mother to have some.'
Then bow'd down the highest tree unto his mother's hand:
- when she cried, 'See, Joseph, I have cherries at command!'
O then bespake Joseph— 'I have done Mary wrong;
- but cheer up, my dearest, and be not cast down.
'O eat your cherries, Mary, o eat your cherries now;
- o eat your cherries, Mary, that grow upon the bough.'
Then Mary pluck'd a cherry as red as the blood;
- then Mary went home with her heavy load
The words in the arrangement by David Willcocks have lost a little of this naivety but the carol is still wonderful, nonetheless.
- Two concerts, two choirs and a Gladstone's Bag full of delights
- Floods in India

Dear Women;
When God created heaven and earth, he spoke them into being.
When he created man, he formed him, and breathed life into his nostrils.But you, woman, he fashioned after he breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.
He allowed a deep sleep to come over him so he could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, he fashioned you. He chose the bone that protects man's life. He chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this bone, he shaped you. He modeled you. He created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib's; strong, yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to be next to him, and a partner to him, so please… be one.

Western Series Finale — and MAZDASPEED Challenge OpenerApr 09, 2008
Wednesday, April 09, 2008
The 2007-2008 Skip Barber Western Series finale was at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and wow, what a great weekend. Not only was the banquet a huge hoot, but we saw the first points-scoring MAZDASPEED Challenge races… Conner De Phillippi winning the Western Series title – and Rookie of the Year… John Scalmanini winning the Masters championship (Tom Roberts, Grand Master)… Emil Sildos honored as Most Improved Driver… and Ethan Stone winning the highest-finishing Sportsman Trophy. Congrats to all the Western Series drivers!
Results, time sheets and qualifying are here.
(Note: Click on "Other Events," then click on the second-from-the-top (not the first one) "Western Regional Finale Race Weekend")
Final Series points standings can be found here
G1R1 (Sportsman)
Ian Costa started on pole and led the whole way despite his progress twice being slowed by full course yellows (laps 5/6 and laps 12/13). Behind him was the dice for P2 between Ethan Stone and Sarena Traver. On lap 11, Stone dropped like… um… a stone, falling from second to seventh, Traver taking over second place and Ross Jaffe leaping from sixth to third. The next lap both Frank Cusack (Turn 3) and Kevin Tittle (T6) found trouble and so we went FCY. The re-start was with three to go, the order Costa, Traver and Jaffe. With two to go, Kevin Woods – who had gone four-off in Turn 4 very early on and was now rocketing back up through the field – snatched third place. But it came with a price; he and Traver had touched in Turn 2. So the on-track order at the line was Costa, Traver and Woods, but with the requisite time penalties to both, Jaffe and Stone rounded out the podium. Fourth across the line was David Stubbs, but he had passed a car under yellow and was too assessed a penalty. That gave fourth to David Anderson and fifth to Andrea Zurek. Ed Lever came home sixth, and classified seventh through 10th were Stubbs, Traver, Woods and Paul Coleman.
G1R2 (Sportsman)
Costa walked this one after his two primary antagonists, Traver and Woods, got into each other again – and again in Turn 2 – on lap five That put Stone into second place and Stubbs into third, where they stayed until the checker. Tittle traced a steep upward arc on the lap chart, going from 11th to fifth in just seven laps, then taking over fourth from Jaffe with five to go. On that same lap Jonathan Barcena put Jaffe back another spot so it ended Costa 26 seconds up the road from Stone, who was 8 seconds to the good over Stubbs, battling Tittle in fourth right to the end, with Barcena rounding out the top five.
G2R1 (Championship)
Like F1, qualifying had pre-determined a lot. Conner De Phillippi, the grand prize winner of February's Karting Scholarship Shoot-out, had taken pole, with Emil Sildos alongside. De Phillippi marched to a 6-second win over Sildos. Third-starting Gary Manheimer ran third for the first three laps, until Victor Carbone got around him and that was that: De Phillippi,, Sildos, Carbone, Manheimer, Michael Ramies, John Scalmanini and Curt Berg was the order at the checker.
G2R2 (Championship)
De Phillippi De Stroyed 'em again, leading flag to flag and finishing with a 6-second MoV over Sildos. Third was Carbone, who had tailed Manheimer for three laps after the green and then got around him. Fifth was Ramies, less than a a half-second behind Sildos, trailed by Scalmanini and Berg. Finishing the year with another win – all told De Phillippi won five times – he scored 519 points to Sildos' 463 (three wins) for the 2007-2008 Skip Barber Western Series championship. Well done, C.D.
G3R1 (MX-5 Mazdaspeed Challenge)
Well, this was it. The first official race for the all-new Skip Barber Mazdaspeed Challenge! It was a 10-car field, with Skip Barber Regional and National competitor Dion von Moltke on pol with a 1:49.568 and SCCA racer Lyonel Kent second on the grid with a :50.701. The start was clean and von Moltke kept the point, ahead of Kent and Philip Royle, who had gotten around third-on-the-grid Fred Chin. TV actor Ian Ziering spun in Three on the first lap but kept it lit and re-joined. Soon von Moltke and Kent were off into the distance, the only two drivers getting into the :49s. Kent hung in there but under the checker he was about 8/10s behind von Moltke. Royle was an all-alone third. For the entire race Chin was stationed in fourth but on the last lap he got it wrong in Turn 4 and crashed, handing the position to Scott James. Next was Aaron Hollander, with Al Delattre, Ziering and Ken Greenberg next in line. Chin was classified ninth and Pax ''24 Hours of'' Lemmon 10th.
G3R2 (MX-5 Mazdaspeed Challenge)
This one was a bit of a wheel-banger at the end, as Kent and von Moltke scrabbled for the lead the whole race. von Moltke led laps one through five but kent got the better of him on lap six. Running mostly nose to tail, the two were way out front of third place Royle when they came rocketing down to the Turn 11 Hairpin on the last lap, Kent just ahead of von Moltke. von Moltke went for it but it didn't work out as planned, as he got into Kent, punted off into the kitty litter. von Moltke had no choice but to head up to the finish line – he was already past pit-in when he got into Kent – and hope that his lead over now-second-place Royle was bigger than the 20-second penalty he was going to get. And it was, so von Moltke was the winner. James came across third, followed by Gray Gregory (up from 10 th), Hollander, Greenberg, Chin, Lemmon and Ziering, Kent classified 10th.
G4R1 (Sportsman)
Yukinobu Nakayama only does a race weekend or two a year with us, but when he does he gets it done. In Group 4 he led every lap from pole, setting fastest-lap along the way to the win. Bill Capogeannis took over second place from Michael Sorbian early on, trailed closely by Dennis Rock. While fourth, Sorbian spun in Four and fell back to 10 th after his pit stop, the mistake handing the position to Alex Jasserme, with David Koster now fifth. This order remained stable for laps six through 10 – Nakayama had galloped off to a big lead over Capogeannis and Rock — until Jasserme and Koster rubbed some fenders in 11. Their pit stops put Tim Perkins into fourth. But only for one lap as a quickly recovering Sorbian grabbed the spot from him. But the next lap (13), Sorbian got swallowed up by both Perkins and Hank Combs. Sorbian added to his woes by sliding off in the Andretti Hairpin, so now Bill Scoville was up to sixth and Jasserme seventh. Sorbian, Koster, Ray Brady, Linda Doppes and Gus Doppes rounded out the field.
G4R2 (Sportsman)
Dennis Rock has long been a great friend of the company, often donating his own time and considerable energy to beating the drums for the Western Series. In all the years, though he's run up front, he'd yet to win a race. Well, he can put that little albatross behind him as in Sunday's race, Mr. Rock snagged victory number one… Nakayama led from the green, with Capogeannis behind, but Bill stuck it in the beach when the field got to Four. Rock was now second and Perkins third following one lap of FCY. Soon after the re-start, Sorbian took over third place from Perkins and so the field circulated for the next five laps, Nakayama already out to a 5-second-plus lead. But Nakayama made two mistakes on lap nine; he spun in Three but did not go four-off. Thinking he had to pit, Nakayama came in! The crew waved him through but now he was in third place, with Rock leading and Sorbian P2. Rock handily kept the lead to the checker, even putting up his fastest lap near the end. First win for the Rock! Sorbian kept the quickly closing Nakayama at bay for second, while Andrew Zimmer and Jasserme rounded out the top five. Good stuff…
G5R1 (MX-5 Mazdaspeed Challenge)
The second group of ''history making'' Skip Barber MX-5 racers saw Michael Skeen on pole by a healthy 1 second over Gray Gregory, with John Tukivakala and Mike Monticello on the second row. At the start Skeen stayed up front but in Turn Four in the scrum for P2, Gregory and Tukivakala got together, Gregory also going four-off. With those two coming into the pits for their required safety checks, Skeen led with Monticello second and Al Delattre third. On lap three Greenberg put a pass on Delattre. Skeen was stretching his lead every lap, knocking off amazingly consistent laps: nothing but 1:51s, bracketing two laps in the :50s! With five laps to go, Aaron Hollander finally got around Delattre so the final order was Skeen, Monticello, Greenberg, Hollander, Delatttre, Michael Luzich, Tim Suddard, Gregory and Tukivakala.
G5R2 (MX-5 Mazdaspeed Challenge)
Skeen elected to start at the back for his second race, which put Monticello on pole, Greenberg second, Hollander third and Luzich fourth. Monticello led at the green while Hollander briefly held second and Gregory third. But lap two saw Gregory get around Hollander and now went after Monticello. Those two checked out and even though this was only the second race ever for Monticello — he'd done lots of track days and track testing as a writer for Road & Track, but had never raced a car before – he never succumbed to the pressure and edged Gregory by a half-second at the finish. Pretty impressive… Gary Manheimer was also impressive, coming up from row four on the grid to finish third, while Greenberg did a fine job consolidating fourth place, a tick or two in front of Hollander. Tukivakala and Luzich rounded out the runners. And what of Mike Skeen? He worked his way to third place three laps in, but his day ended when third gear packed it up. That's racing…
Masters Run-off
At the end of every Regional championship, all the Masters and Grand Masters are put into one race group and they have at it. This was a 12-man contest, headed by John Scalmanini on pole, Ethan Stone alongside, with Walter Kuhn and Ross Jaffe in the second row. Truth be told, it was a bit of a procession, with the top three order unchanged the entire race. Yukinobu Nakayama provided the best show as he came from the fifth row to garner P4 at the flag. Dennis Rock, David Anderson and Andrew Brightman were next across the line, followed by Bill Scoville, Hank Combs, Paul Coleman, Ray Brady and Ross Jaffe (off in T6 on the first lap). Congrats again to John Scalmanini, the Masters titlist of 2007-2008.

text: The reason why we put HumaniTsunami on hold was because our instructors asked us to find the core of our game and we were unable to discover the core. Within the last week, we looked for 20 other games that are similar to the game, and find what made our game unique. The core makes the whole experience of the game and what our intentions were for the audience to take away from playing the game. The core that we found was the level design, destruction in the world, and exploration. Our core didn't seem strong enough and we felt like our game wasn't able to be completed in time. During the past couple of weeks we ran into technical issues, constant reiterations, and availability to meet together at the same time. Before we had to show our instructor a prototype, we made a decision to put HumaniTsunami on hold.

Kelly and I walked to one of our local wine tasting rooms this afternoon. We didn't know it before we got there, but JC Cellars was having a 50% off sale, which is definitely not good for the ol' pocketbook.
I did get this wonderful shot of Kelly though. Does she look great, or what?

Agate adornments provide an elegant touch to your event and can be used for everything from table numbers to place cards, and even a cake topper! Unforgettable details like this are what will take your wedding to WOW! Our team works with the best vendors in the business and will join together to create your dream day.
Newly engaged? Contact our dream team to see what we can design for your big day!
Set the tone for your wedding with your grand personalized entrance. At a recent wedding, guests were greeted with this oversized custom place card table that elegantly reflected the taste of the bride and groom. The gold and glass table was adorned with fresh flowers including cascading orchids. This stunner was truly as unforgettable as the wedding itself!
Last Friday, we showed a preview of this amazing shoot which we were so happy to be a part of. While we're always a big fan of color, this all white palette is pure perfection. When only one color is used texture becomes a crucial element. Our millwork panels, tufted seating, and flower wall filled the void and added just the right amount of contrast to this singular white motif.
You can see more photos in the Brides of Oklahoma Magazine and we must give a big thank you to all of the amazing vendors who helped create this modern and fresh look!

Kelly Bridal Salon }
Emily and Matthew were married at All Souls Episcopal Church this January. These two are a perfect match and complement each other so well. Much like their personalities, the wedding day was a delicate balance of special details, creating a classic design that mirrored the couple's style.
Understated elegance – that's how I would describe the reception at Gaillardia Country Club. I was so inspired by Emily's gorgeous lace wedding dress and its timeless sophistication; her classic taste spilled over into every aspect of the wedding day. Simple details like champagne linens and romantic lighting crafted an impactful setting. A custom designed stage nestled in the archway of the ballroom with plush white draping created the look of a proscenium. Guests danced the night away, and sent the beautiful couple off into the evening with a sparkler farewell.
It was a magical day, and I wish the happy couple so much happiness in the years ahead!

A planner is not always a stylist – and vice versa.
I am a stylist who specializes in creative vision, production and logistics. In other words, my objective is to develop your vision, create it and execute it. I'm also happy to refer vendors to you, then turn around and manage these vendors throughout the wedding process. I have played the role of both stylist and planner, though stylist is always my primary role. Sometimes there may be tasks or errands I do not "specialize" in that my brides request. I'm always happy to refer a planner or other merchant to fill in the blanks!
My advice – Take the time to figure out what planner/stylist scenario will work best for you and your wedding needs.
A bride can have both a planner and a stylist, and I believe in some cases she should!

They number one attracted the attention of people at giant in the event the US army utilized it for targeted functions to tackle terrorism. Drones proved extraordinarily handy in searching terrorist camps and destroying them. The key advantage of using drones within the battlefield is that they do not have a pilot.

Embraer now plans to complete flight testing and deliver the first production version of the KC-390 to the Brazilian air force up to six months late in the first half of 2019, a company executive says on 31 July.
The nine-year-old development programme for the twin-engined tanker-transport had been on track until an "operational issue" caused the first of two flight test aircraft to overrun a runway in Brazil, leading to heavy damage to the landing gear and fuselage, Embraer says.
Embraer had planned to deliver the third KC-390 to the Brazilian air force by the end of the year, but that aircraft will now be diverted to help the company complete the flight test campaign in the absence of the first prototype, says chief financial officer Nelson Salgado. The fourth KC-390 to roll-off Embraer's assembly line will now be the first of 28 aircraft delivered to the Brazilian air force.
The months-long delay triggered by the runway overrun in May also caused Embraer to report a R$459 million ($127 million) special charge in the second quarter, Salgado says.
The investigation of the runway incident continues, but Embraer remains adamant that it was not fault of the aircraft design.
"The [investigation] report hasn't been concluded," Salgado says. "What we can say now is it was due to an operational issue. It has nothing to do with the aircraft itself. [But] it doesn't have to be human error."
To underscore that the runway incident in May was an isolated event, the second KC-390 test aircraft continuing flying after the incident and performed six flight demonstrations at the Farnborough air show in July, Salgado adds.
The Brazilian air force announced reaching initial operational capability for the KC-390 on 20 December. Brazil's ANAC civil aviation authority, the US Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) granted type certification to the commercial configuration of the KC-390 on 28 February. The flight test programme required to achieve military certification is now 96% complete, Salgado says.
"Although we cannot guarantee there will not arise any new issue, we do not expect anything will happen" to cause further delays, Salgado says.
Meanwhile, Embraer also announced plans in the second quarter to form a joint venture with Boeing to collaborate on defence programmes, including "especially" the KC-390.
If the proposed joint venture is finalised, Boeing should help Embraer market the KC-390 to a new set of customers. It's not clear how much Embraer has attempted to sell the KC-390 to the US military or governments in the Middle East, but Boeing has much stronger ties to those customers than Embraer's defence business.
"We believe that this new JV will open very important markets which we had not counted on previously," Salgado says.
Portugal, one of five development partners on the KC-390 outside Brazil, opened negotiations in June 2017 to purchase five aircraft with an option for a sixth, but the order is yet to be confirmed.
"We are hoping to conclude [that transaction] in a short period," Salgado says.

The church is dedicated. to St. Andrew and is situated in the centre of the village, immediately opposite the Primary School. It has an unbuttressed Norman west tower and is thought to date from 11th century. The church may well have, in the past, been larger than it is at present. The chancel was rebuilt in 1855.
For many years a strange custom of "hassock throwing" took place when a wedding occurred. As the bride and groom walked down the aisle the elderly women in the congregation threw hassocks at them. The custom was brought to an abrupt halt towards the end of the 18th century when a misguided hassock hit the rector!
The church building is in a reasonable state of repair, having recently been re-decorated internally. Access has been provided for wheelchair users. The churchyard, now closed for burials, is well maintained and an up-to-date churchyard plan is available for inspection. Services are held regularly in St. Andrew's, including the midweek morning Holy Communion Service (BCP), hosted on behalf of the parish. The church is open during day-light hours. The key is held at the adjacent Post Office.

Fudge Icing
This recipe was originally given to me by my Mum with a date slice recipe. I use it to top other cakes and slices too as it's easy to make and great if you don't have icing sugar in the pantry.
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp butter
- 2 tab milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Place all ingredients into a small saucepan and stir to combine.
- Heat to boiling point and boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Remove from heat.
- Beat vigorously with a spoon until the mixture begins to thicken
- Quickly pour onto the cake or slice and spread.
The topping will harden very quickly once it starts to thicken with beating so you must be ready to spread.

So I'm pro death penalty,Pro choice ,pro lesbian ,pro daughter, pro school district,pro sermon on the mount and I can read a balance sheet better than anyone I know.."
MALEY: meals with taxpayers $- a wise man saids someplace on this board -"Grow up"
INTERPRETATION: It's okay to eat out on the taxpayer dime.
MALEY: -being a school board member is taking on a 20 hour per week job at 10cents an hour. If sandwiches for the group allows them to spend an additional 5 hours in meeting that might save the taxpayers 10 Million $ over a number of years-Lets call the paper and stop that this instant.
Muckracking involves real- honest to god muck
INTERPRETATION: "Not only is eating out on the taxpayer dime perfectly acceptable, keep the meals coming! " I will admit, I've always thought it would (in a perfect world) be very nice if a citizen's "care" group would form and supply easy dinners as a courtesy for the school board members. Let's face it, the city council brown-bags it, so the reality is -if the money isn't there, we just can't/don't do it.
MALEY: But for the record- I'll be happy to sponsor any more feeding frenzies on taxpayer time. The check is in the mail
INTERPRETATION: " I will be paying for further dinner extravaganzas." Just curious, did Mark ever follow through with this?
MALEY: -we have more kids coming than we can handle- period.
denying it doesn"t make it untrue.
COMMENT: Mark is out of touch with the district's statistics. We have more opting out than opting in. We do not have more coming in than "we can handle," we just need to be good stewards of what we have. This has not happened in the past, leading to facility disrepair, an over-emphasis on "Gifted and Talented," a warped administration-to-teacher ratio, and other bad moves.
MALEY: The referendum passed because thinking folks usually can eventually tell the difference
INTERPRETATION: Maley obviously is stating that people who were against the referendum are "stupid" or "non-thinking" and "unintelligent."
Bart Williams, one of five candidates seeking three positions on the West Bend School Board in April, has raised concerns that one of his opponents — Mark Maley — would have a conflict of interest if elected to the board.
"Mark Maley is a district employee and has been for 13 years," Williams said. "Being a district employee and now trying to be on the very board that is supposed to oversee district employees is inherently incompatible with school board service."
Maley, who is the West Bend High School girls basketball coach, earns a salary of $5,000 a year.
"How that puts me in conflict with anyone at the high school or middle schools is beyond me," Maley said.
Maley said he consulted with the school district's attorney before entering the race.
"She said that I would need to be recused from the actual physical staff salary negotiations and the one school issue," Maley said.
That issue is the conversion of the twin high schools into one school.
Maley proposed an alternative.
"Let the community decide if being off of the direct negotiation and one school vote disqualifies me from being an active board member," Maley said.

Every girl has her spending vice. You know what I mean; the one thing you can never stop buying regardless of how many you have. For some women it's shoes, for others its beauty products. Mine is novelty handbags.
Shop the post!
When it comes to everyday handbags, I'm a creature of habit. I carry my Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 every day of the week. Spending time switching out my handbags every day just for it to sit in my file drawer at work is not a thing I want to spend time on. But for the weekends, particularly for the parks, it's fun to switch it up.
I thought I'd do a little round-up for you of some novelty bags I'm currently salivating over and just waiting to "add to cart".
1. Everyone needs a little classic Mickey Mouse.
2. Something seems fishy. Oh wait, it's this cute Floudner bag.
3. Ice cream, anyone?
4. Pride month may be over, but rainbows are always in style. This one from Michael Kors is on my want-list. Here's another more budget-friendly option.
5. This acrylic clutch is a perfect addition to a Star Wars look. It also comes in black and gold.
6. Cup of tea, anyone? Mrs. Potts is ready to serve!
7. This adorable cherry bucket bag with gingham lining would not only make a great every day summer bag, but would be a cute addition to a Lady and the Tramp 'bound too.
8. Luke, I am your park bag. Roomy and ominous, this Darth Vader bag is sure to be a hit at Galaxy's Edge.
9. As an investment piece, this Coach Mickey Mouse purse is splurge-worthy.
10. This one is perfect for EPCOT, and a great value at under $20.
Now bust out those debit cards and go forth and shop!

Give me a break! Plus we got a couple Jehovah's Witnesses at the door this morning to talk about it. Jeez!
Well, if it's happening, bye. It's been fun.
If not, I've just wasted a few more electrons.
We are continuing our search for smart phones today. It's a giant pain; my wife who is a meticulous shopper at any time goes into hyper mode when we are talking about something we'll be stuck with for a couple years. I'm just way more impulsive. I've got to admit though, she doesn't make many purchasing errors! Hopefully I'll be able to post a cell phone photo here by tonight. I'll try.
Have a good one!

A great many people these days have become incredulous of the requirement for flu antibodies. The majority of us isn't generally influenced by flu season, and when we do, we as a rule pay for it with lost work days at the very least.
Individuals who effortlessly get the antibody may let you know it's pointless. Tragically, this developing smugness towards the immunization may put you and your group at an outlandish higher risk.
You should be perceptive of the way that flu is an executioner ailment that strikes thousands consistently, even among created nations. The few who don't recoup quickly from this season's cold virus are at grave hazard.
The 1918 flu flare-up, previously referred to as the Spanish flu, turned into an overall pandemic with a loss of life extending between 20 to 100 million. Flare-ups in the 60s, even slaughtered millions, however, in lesser numbers.
Flu Vaccine Has Proven Effective:
Current flare-ups like the bird flu pandemic and the current H1N1 flare-up were all the more proficiently controlled, because of improvement of the antibody that started in the 30s. The immunization has demonstrated compelling in restricting the spread of occasional flu, however, not 100 %.
This is because distinctive strains of flu turn out each season, and momentum immunizations aren't ready to cover each strain. Individuals who get the antibody can even now get this season's cold virus, however, will have a more grounded impervious to it. Drug companies are already in a race to build up the principal flu antibody to cover all strains.
Risk For Flu
The general population at most grounded risk for flu, and thus, the primary who ought to get flu immunizations, are more established individuals, youngsters, pregnant ladies, individuals with repeating therapeutic conditions and individuals who work in medical care, particularly in care of the previously mentioned.
Individuals who ought not get the vaccine include those allergic to the immunization or to chicken eggs, helpless to Guillain-Barre disorder, or excessively debilitated by earlier medical conditions.
There Are Two Forms Of Vaccine:
- This season's cold virus shot, which is made of dead flu cells
- The nasal spray, which really has a debilitated variant of the infection
Neither one of the wills gives you this season's flu virus, albeit nasal shower may give you flu like side effects. To be erring on the side of caution, the nasal spray is typically given to individuals at lower risk.
Flu Vaccine Status:
Today, we have possessed the capacity as far as possible the spread of both occasional and new strains of flu. Proceeded to use of flu immunizations is expected to keep up control of this disease, and also to figure out how to in the long run destroy it.
You can get the vaccine either through a flu shot, which offers dead flu cells, or nasal spray, which really has a live, yet debilitated form of the infection. You won't get this season's flu virus from either vaccine. Today, we have possessed the capacity to effectively stop the transmission of both regular and new strains of flu.
So, what are you waiting for? Take precautions before you caught with any of the virus or infection.

Ok, Pete, what did you decide on?
I have another 36 hours.
At this moment, I am leaning towards the violin.
You play violin?
I tried until it got sat on my a younger family member. Then I switched to double bass which was much harder to damage.
This violin, which I call Viola
No, he just has one leg shorter than the other. Little known fact - one day in high school, he was being admonished in gym class about his posture, and his retort to the teacher - "You know I have this condition! Come on - I lean!" - led his classmate, Kevin Rowland, to write a big hit record.
I miss the Violins. Off to google images of the PRS violin series.

We Both Had Boyfriends Before We Fell In Love
I was just a simple normal girl until I met her. One fine day, I was on my way to my college as it was my last exam of 1st year (M.A Eng). Suddenly I heard a familiar voice which asked, "How are you?" Though we had never talked before and didn't share any contact with each other, yet it didn't take too long for me to recognise her face.
She was my classmate from B.A. There were too many passengers on that compartment and I wasn't able to talk to her well. We shared our contact numbers for the very first time. Then after a few weeks, I got a text from her and I discovered that she is also studying M.A in History from the same university as mine.
This is how we started talking to each other. She shared so many things that were going on in her life.
It felt like we were waiting for each other to meet. One night I received a text from her saying that she was very upset (there was some serious problem going on in her family.)Share this quote
She told me that she couldn't sleep and she was having sleeping pills. Seeing that text, I felt like I was going to lose something that was very close to my heart. I couldn't afford to lose her.
I lost my mom when I was 13. Once again on that day, I felt that same scary feeling of losing someone whom I cannot live without. I instantly replied her saying, 'Please don't go. I love you.' Time paused for few hours and I was very scared and wanted to know what was going on in her mind. I was waiting for the morning. But she messaged me at 3 A.M. She replied saying that she loves me too. Since that day, we are in love with each other.
Currently, we are busy in setting up our career so that we can establish ourselves and can spend the rest of our lives together under the same roof. I know there are so many people in this society, just like us. But I would like to say that God has made every human being with a particular purpose in life. Do not judge anyone. Everyone has a heart. Everyone has their personal life and choice. God has given us only one chance to live and he has given us the authority to choose our life partner.
Let me quote a line from Dear Zindagi. "Jab hum apne aap ko achchi tarah samajh lete hai, toh doosre kya samajhte hai, it doesn't matter."Share this quote
I had a boyfriend before I met her. She also had a boyfriend back then. But it never felt like the right one. There was something always missing. But now there is nothing that feels missing. My puzzle has been solved. I'm happy.

Syston Bowling Club
"At the heart of the local community for over 85 years"
The Club has two fully-qualified County Coaches - Ken Renshaw and Gary Kilbourne. Both are always ready to arrange individual (or group) coaching sessions.
In addition, players might find something of use as they seek to improve their game, from the advice and guidance offered below:
For Beginners: How Bowls is played
(The following introduction covers the basic aspects of the game, as normally played in the UK. It is not intended to be a complete definition of the game or the rules.)
Like many games, the object of Bowls is essentially simple. It can be played by almost anyone, but to play consistently well demands determination, concentration and practice.
The game of Bowls is played on a 34 to 40 metre square of closely cut grass called the green. The green is divided into playing areas called rinks. The green is surrounded by a small ditch to catch bowls which leave the green, and a bank upon which markers indicate the corners and centrelines of each rink.
Matches may be mixed or single-sex. Bowls is a game in which men and women can play on virtually equal terms
Players deliver their bowls (sometimes called "woods") alternately from a mat at one end of the rink, towards a small white ball called the jack at the other end. The bowls are shaped so that they do not run in a straight line, but take a curved path towards the jack.
To be successful, the bowl must be delivered with the correct weight, along the correct line. The bowl can be delivered either forehand (curving in towards the jack from the right) or backhand (curving in from the left).
Bowls can be played as singles, or in teams of pairs, triples, or fours (a team of four is also known as a 'rink'). In fours or rinks games, each team member has a particular role to play:
The first, or lead, places the mat, delivers the jack and centres it before attempting to bowl as close as possible to the jack.
The second or two keeps the score card and scoreboard up to date. The two will normally be required to improve or consolidate the position achieved by the lead.
The third or three may be called upon to play different types of shots in order to score more, or to place bowls tactically to protect an advantage. The three also advises the skip on choice of shots, and agrees the number of shots scored, measuring if required.
The skip is in overall charge of the rink, directs the other players on choice of shots, and tries to build the 'head' of bowls to his or her advantage.
The normal game formats are as follows:
In Fours or Rinks play, the lead, two, three and skip each deliver two bowls for 21 ends.
In Singles, the two opponents deliver four bowls alternately. The first to reach 21 shots is the winner.
For Pairs, the players deliver four bowls each. The team scoring the most shots after 21 ends is the winner.
In the Triples game, the lead, second and skip deliver three bowls each, for 18 ends.
Although these are the most common formats, variations are allowed by the controlling bodies.
Each end, after all woods have been delivered into the head (above), all woods belonging to one player or team that lie closest to the jack are counted as shots. In this illustration, two blue woods lie closet to the jack. A red wood lies a close third. The blue player/team therefore adds two shots to the cumulative score. Red scores nothing. In case of doubt, a measure can be used to determine the outcome.

1. Check that you know and comply with the correct dress for the occasion
2. Make sure you know the starting time of the game and arrive early.
3. If necessary, allow time to change before the arrival of guests
and always be on the green in timely fashion.
4. In a team game, be there to welcome your guests.
5. Enter and leave the green by any steps or other aids provided.
6. Do not drop your bowls on to the green.
7. Shake hands with your opponent(s) before and after the game.
8. Do not sit on the steps or the bank.
9. Do not drop litter in the ditches. Use any receptacles provided.
10. Stand still and be quiet while your opponent(s) are about to play.
11. Do not infringe the laws of rink possession.
12. Wait until the result of the end has been declared before starting to break up the head.
13. If you are responsible for keeping score, compare your card with that of your opponents at regular intervals.
14. Unless you have been delegated to decide the shots at the completion of an end, do not interfere in any way with the process.
15. If an umpire has been called, stay clear of the head until a decision has been made.
16.. Do not run or smoke on the green.
17. Deliver your woods in a manner which does not damage the green and draw the attention of the Captain to any breach
of this practice.
18.. When leaving the green for any reason, take great care that you do not walk across the line of sight
of any player occupying the mat at the opposite end of a rink in preparation for a delivery.
18. At the end of the game avoid changing out of your playing uniform while guests remain in the clubhouse or
while you are a guest at another Club.

SEC Requires Disclosure About Board Nominees
The Securities and Exchange Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to require companies to disclose how they select nominees for their boards of directors and tell shareholders how they can nominate their own candidates.
The new rule "represents a significant step in making the director nominating process more accessible to security holders by enhancing transparency of the process," SEC Chairman William H. Donaldson said.
Under the rule, companies must describe their nominating process, including "categories" of sources that make recommendations of nominees to show whether choices come from management, an outside search firm, investors or other groups.
Another proposal, still under SEC consideration, would let shareholders put their own director nominees on corporate proxy ballots if the dissidents can show that a company has ignored past shareholder initiatives. The SEC's period for public comment on that measure, which has been opposed by business groups and lauded by institutional investors, is set to end in December.

In celebration of the Russian language and culture, American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS and George Mason University partnered with the International Association of Teachers of Russian Language and Literature (MAPRIAL), the Russkiy Mir Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation to convene the "2010 - 2011 World Festival of Russian Language" in Washington, DC on April 1st and 2nd, 2011.
The student festival and 5th Russian language Olympiada contests for Virginia high school students of Russian were hosted on the first day of the event at the Fairfax campus of George Mason.
The festival's schedule included cultural programs, as well as competitions in Russian culture, literature, history and performing arts. Winners of the Olympiada competition were awarded a free trip to St Petersburg, Russia and an invitation to take part in a similar event there in October, 2011.
Event organizers not only wanted to celebrate the on-going work of Russian language professors, researchers and students, but also hope that the event will inspire increased interest in the Russian language field both from the Russian-speaking community and from non-Russian speakers.
