The new Our Lady of the Rockies church has been declared a Marian shrine - the first in the Diocese of Calgary.Lincoln Ho, Grandin Media
New Marian shrine set to welcome Rocky Mountain visitors
By Andrew Ehrkamp, Grandin Media
The Virgin Mary is sitting with her son Jesus in a lush Alberta forest, surrounded by deer drinking from a gurgling stream, with the majestic Three Sisters peaks in the background.
"The window cries out to you 'Rocky Mountains,' and there is Our Lady in the midst of that," said Rev. Nathan Siray, pastor of Our Lady of the Rockies Parish. "That's kind of our number one devotional image to Our Lady of the Rockies that is completely unique to this building."
The powerful image is set in custom-made stained glass, one of the focal points of the new $20-million church in the mountain community of Canmore, about 25 km southeast of Banff. It's a new church for the parish, which dates back to the 1800s, and the first shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Diocese of Calgary. Pilgrimages, conferences, and other events are planned once pandemic restrictions are eased.

Bishop William McGrattan dedicated the new 17,000-square-foot church on May 30, during a Mass that was livestreamed on the Diocese of Calgary's Facebook page because of the restrictions. The first public Mass in the new church will be celebrated on June 8.
Bishop McGrattan noted that dedication came as Pope Francis led the major shrines worldwide in praying the rosary to implore Mary's intercession and protection amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Public masses will start to return across Alberta, with conditions, starting June 1.

In his homily, Bishop McGrattan recognized the spiritual foundation of Our Lady of the Rockies parishioners and the greater reach the church will have as a Marian shrine.
"In many ways our diocese, under the patronage of Mary, we should have a shrine church," Bishop McGrattan said. "We should have a place in which people, not only in our own diocese but throughout the world and in Canada can come as they come to the Rockies to see nature's cathedral. They can stop and they can pray and they can experience the great presence of God who comes to dwell in our midst in these humble abodes that we build."
Rev. Nathan Siray says parishioners are "ecstatic" the new church is completed.Lincoln Ho, Grandin Media
Father Siray said the roughly 300 families of Our Lady of the Rockies Parish are "ecstatic" that the church building has been completed, and dedicated in month of May which the Church devotes to the Virgin Mary.
"It's going us take time to understand our new identity as a shrine. But the overwhelming sense I get from my people is, 'This is incredible. Thank you,'" Siray said. "I couldn't help thinking this church is dedicated to Mary and Mary was always one humble of heart. She was willing to start small and great things came from her. I think if we can embrace her spirit, we're going to do well going forward."
The new church is the third for Our Lady of the Rockies. The last building, built in the early 1960s in downtown Canmore, and was demolished in 2018. Since then, Mass had been celebrated in the Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy school gym while the new building was being built.
The new church is at the edge of town, off the Trans-Canada Highway, and figures prominently when motorists arrive.
The exterior design reflects a European-style alpine church. That was the vision of Rev. Bryan Frank, a former pastor of Our Lady of the Rockies, and Guy Turcotte, a parishioner and the developer of Silvertip Resort in Canmore, who donated the roughly three-acre property for the church.
"We really got a tremendous gift in having such a prime location so visible for this new church to built upon," Siray said. "You know it's pretty cool, as you're coming on Highway 1, you see the turnoff to Canmore town centre, and as you crest the hill one of the first things you see is our bell tower.
"Naturally people are going to have to turn in to see the town of Canmore; they're going to have to drive by this beautiful new church and we're hoping that left-hand signal is going to be that much more enticing," Siray said.
"You couldn't ask for a better location. We hope that it becomes a bit of a beacon of hope for people here that there's something good and beautiful and it wants to welcome as many people as it can into it."
Father Siray's predecessor, Rev. Wilbert Chin Jon, focused on the interior with traditional architecture, liturgical art and a large supply of marble for the new altar and ambo to blend both old and new.
The new Our Lady of the Rockies church has a capacity for 425 people, double the number of the old church, and it includes a new hall, kitchen, conference room, and columbarium with 262 niches.
Siray said a new church was planned as far back as 15 years, but it wasn't until 2017 that the site was cleared. Construction began in March 2019.

The land donation is worth $3 million, and the structure cost $16 million to build. The parish raised about 60 per cent of the building cost, with the remainder held as a mortgage with the Diocese of Calgary. Donors continue to contribute to the building fund and sponsor items and rooms in the church.
With plans underway for a new church, Bishop McGrattan declared Our Lady of the Rockies a Marian shrine in part because it would be a first for the diocese and also because its Rocky Mountain location will be a magnet for future conferences and pilgrimages.
"More and more Canmore is a world destination," Father Siray said. "People come here from all over the world. On any given Sunday, I look at the congregation and most of them are visiting from abroad.
"There are so many beautiful hiking trails around here. Could we have our own mini Camino (walking pilgrimage) somewhere in Canmore, and really let people experience the natural beauty and encounter the Lord in the midst of that?"
The official feast day for Our Lady of the Rockies Parish is on Aug. 22, the Queenship of Mary. And the feast day for its sister church in Banff is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary week earlier.
"So we thought, in time, it would a cool opportunity to really promote those two feasts," Siray said.
Last summer, Our Lady of the Rockies Parish organized its own bicycle pilgrimage from Banff to Canmore.
"We brought a carrier and put a statue of Mary up on it. It was quite entertaining to meet people along the way as Mary goes by on the bike," Siray said. "We'd like to continue to do stuff like that."
The final stages of construction of the new church were delayed a couple of weeks because COVID-19 restrictions meant a smaller crew to finish the project. Among the challenges was the terrain itself.
Building the new Our Lady of the Rockies church had its challenges.Lincoln Ho, Grandin Media
"Building in the mountains is an adventure," Siray said. "One of the things we wanted to make sure we got right was just all the foundation work. Sometimes Canmore is pretty notorious for a lot of underground rivers and instabilities.
"This church is actually sitting on top of 144 massive screw piles that have been pushed 20, 30 metres into the earth. If the mountain comes tumbling down, we're going to be about the only thing standing. That was a huge project."
Father Siray had his own stress. He said his "heart was pounding" as workers carefully moved 100-year-old statues and other precious items into the new church building.
Being pastor of Our Lady of the Rockies is a "tremendous blessing," he said, especially since he grew up in Millarville, an hour's drive southwest of Canmore, in the foothills of the Rockies.
In addition to his own congregation, Siray meets people from all over the world and he hopes the new Our Lady of the Rockies church is embraced by the larger community.
"It doesn't just feel like a place for Catholics. It feels like a place that everyone wants to discover. I get the sense that people are looking for peace. I hope many people feel like they can walk through the door here and that's what they'll be able to experience."

A Holocaust fable, crime thriller, quasi-memoir, and moral inquiry that tries to be too many things at once.
Let's be clear: Austria's The Counterfeiters was not the best foreign-language film of the year. (For my money, that would be the minutely observed, grim-but-humane Four Months, Three Weeks and Two Days.) It is a good, compelling film, but, its Oscar win notwithstanding, it is an uneasy hybrid of competing forms: Holocaust fable, crime thriller, true(ish) story, and moral inquiry.
It turns out not to be quite so easy as he imagines, though, when Sally is arrested for counterfeiting and sent to a prison camp, where he's put to work painting heroic likenesses of the reigning Nazis. A more strategic use for his talents is eventually conceived, however, and he is moved to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to take part in "Operation Bernhard," a massive counterfeiting scheme undertaken by the Third Reich in an effort to destabilize the economies of Britain and the United States. The Nazi in charge of the operation, Sturmbannführer Herzog (Devid Striesow), is a former policeman who once arrested Sally, and views him as a kind of friendly-adversary-turned-accomplice. In return for their efforts, Sally and his fellow forgers receive unimagined luxuries: clothes that are fresh (though the former property of dead men), showers once a week, a ping pong table, and, of course, the implicit assurance that they will not be gassed or shot for as long as they prove themselves useful.
The British pound proves relatively easy to counterfeit, but the dollar presents difficulties--not least because one member of Sally's team, a handsome young radical named Burger (August Diehl), begins quietly sabotaging the effort. His steadfast refusal to be a cog in the Nazi war machine, while noble, could easily prove fatal, and not merely for him. And so the sides are set: collaboration versus resistance, compromised survival versus heroic martyrdom, the tangible value of another day of life versus the more uncertain ramifications of aiding the Reich.
Though each side is given its due, it is evident that the film's sympathies lie with Sally--the crook, the survivor, the balancer of opposing imperatives--rather than with Burger, the uncompromising idealist. (This is despite the fact that the film is loosely based on the memoir of the real-life Burger.) There are hints that Sally also has less noble motivations--"Is this about surviving," Burger asks him at one point, "or proving you can forge the dollar?"--but they are not explored. Unlike The Bridge on the River Kwai, the film which it most closely resembles in structure, The Counterfeiters never reinterprets its heroes as fools or vice versa. At moments when an irrevocable decision seems imminent--say, turn Burger in or accept mass executions--a third way out is usually found.
But The Counterfeiter's greatest misstep is its frame: The film opens and closes at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo after the war, where Sally has arrived to gamble and philander with a briefcase full of forged bills. He is haunted, of course, but he is alive and well (and rich!), and by offering us this reassurance at the outset, the film drains itself of some tension and some moral weight as well. It is an odd Holocaust film that so eagerly advertises its (relatively) happy ending.
That the movie nonetheless works as well as it does is a tribute to writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky and (especially) star Markovics. Ruzowitzky integrates his story's disparate elements and tendencies neatly enough that the seams rarely show. And Markovics manages a similar feat within the character of Sally, capturing his venality and his pride, his con artistry and his honor, his will to survive and his willingness to sacrifice. Despite (at best) ordinary looks, Markovics is fiercely magnetic here, his eyes wary and intense under heavy, somnolent lids. In a film about counterfeits, he stands out as an original.

Bill Reineke campaign under review by state agency for fake document used to attack Melissa Ackison
TiffinOhio.net Staff
TiffinOhio.net Composite
The state senate campaign of current Rep. Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin) is under review by a state agency for distributing a fraudulent document, designed by Reineke's campaign to appear as if it came from the agency, in an attempt to attack his opponent, Melissa Ackison (R-Marysville), TiffinOhio.net News has learned.
Reineke and Ackison are facing off in the Republican primary race for the 26th district state senate seat. The race has been recognized as the most brutal primary in Ohio state legislative history by multiple media outlets and pundits.
The document, designed by a consultant working on behalf of Reineke's campaign to appear as if it came from the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors, features the Board's logo and mimics the font and coloring that is similar to what is actually used by the Board. It is used as a "source" for a claim made on Reineke's attack website, which states "Melissa Ackison's personal business was found guilty of breaking laws and fined $4,000."
Contained in the document is the case number and three violations, each alongside the word "GUILTY."
However, a representative from the Board said the document is not authentic and did not come from their agency, prompting him to send the case to the agency's legal department for review.
The document is featured prominently on MelissaAckison.com, a website paid for by Friends of Bill Reineke which is dedicated to attacking Melissa Ackison's record as a small business owner. The website is part of a wider package of attack ads from the Reineke campaign against Ackison including TV, radio, and mailers.
The Reineke campaign's action of creating a fraudulent document posing as if it came from the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors is now under review by the Board's legal department, TiffinOhio.net News has learned.
This comes just one week after one of Ohio's largest newspapers, The Toledo Blade, called out Reineke for blatantly misquoting one of their articles on a mailer used to attack Ackison.
The 26th state senate district includes Seneca, Sandusky, Marion, Morrow, Union, Crawford, and Wyandot counties.
"In addition to the multitude of state and federal laws being broken by operating a website that bears my name and likeness, my attorney has filed suit against multiple political operatives," Ackison said in a statement.
Ackison's campaign recently filed a lawsuit against Lauren Durant, a Powell-based political operative who is accused of secretly recording an Ackison campaign strategy meeting while posing as a volunteer, and then leaking the recording to the Reineke campaign to be used for attack purposes.
The lawsuit, filed in Union County Common Pleas Court, seeks $25,000 in damages and claims Durant performed the aforementioned actions despite having signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Attempts to reach Reineke's campaign for comment were unsuccessful.
The Ohio primary election will take place March 17. Whoever wins the Republican primary — Ackison or Reineke — will go on to face Democratic challenger Craig Swartz, of Upper Sandusky.

The Titanic Detective Agency is the latest novel from Lindsay Littleson.
When Bertha Watt boards the unsinkable RMS Titanic she embraces life on the sea as her family makes the bold decision to cross the Atlantic for a better life in America.
It's not long before Bertha's instincts tell her things on board are not what they seem – especially when it comes to a certain passenger that goes by the name of Louis Hoffman. Together, with her new friend Madge Collyer, they create The Collyer-Watt Detective Agency. There time on board is spent hunting for clues and sneaking around the ship in forbidden quarters. Bertha meets Johan, a boy travelling alone from Sweden. He seeks the treasure he has been told will make his fortune in order to send for the rest of his family so that they can all enjoy a new and prosperous life in the far away land. His only possessions are the clothes on his back and a silver key and a map in a language he doesn't understand. He enlists Bertha's help to decipher the treasure map and their adventure on board the doomed ship begins.
Can they decipher the map to find the lost treasure? Will Bertha solve the mystery of Mr Louis Hoffman? Will The Collyer-Watt Detective Agency survive the doomed journey on the infamous ship? There's only one way to find out!
The Titanic Detective Agency is another fantastic example of Lindsay Littleson's superb writing. With intrigue and suspense on every page, the reader will be drawn into the world of Bertha and Marge as they decipher clues to unravel the secrets of their fellow travellers. Keeping in line with the 1912 theme, this novel is a well-researched step back in time. The attention to detail to not only the inside of the ship itself but to the class rights and era Bertha lives in, confirms its place on any bookshelf. With a nod to the detective themes in The Famous Five and Murder Most Unladylike, I cannot think of a better agency to solve any mystery should one ever come my way.


SCETV and South Carolina Public Radio had a series of multi-platform segments to prepare viewers and listeners for the total solar eclipse event. The day of the eclipse, SCETV simulcast live on radio, TV and streaming from the South Carolina State Museum, capturing the "path of totality" for viewers and listeners throughout the state and beyond.
In SCETV's Emmy-nominated coverage, as the eclipse entered the Piedmont, Gavin Jackson spoke with naturalist Patrick McMillan about the eclipse's effect on the local wildlife. Back in Columbia at the South Carolina State Museum and its observatory, host Beryl Dakers spoke with astronaut Charles Duke about the 45th anniversary of his moon walk and artifacts that are housed at the museum. South Carolina Public Radio's Tut Underwood reported from a special Columbia Fireflies game. Finally, in Charleston, South Carolina Public Radio's Victoria Hansen reported from the College of Charleston Campus Viewing Celebration.
What was so unique about this production was the live reporting from four separate locations, while SCETV followed the eclipse as it exited to the Atlantic. You may have been busy viewing the event live in the great outdoors, but for today's #ThrowbackThursday, relive the spectacle of 2017's Total Solar Eclipse.

Since v9, and really for me since v7, all version updates have been incremental. I'm a straight cut guy, so most new features haven't really been needed. Honestly the best features for me have actually been in the editing and how great and fluid it is to work with clips, err 'events'. Using avid and watching users of fcp and ppro is painful sometimes compared to Vegas.
But, as someone who's been here since v1, and has been moving forward, experience wise, Sony just kept giving me bare minimum for updates.
The more I aged, and learnt and grew, the more I collaborated with other post professionals, the more Vegas became a hindrance.
- I use Avid a lot now for various import export of projects from other apps.
It forced me to come up with exotic workflows, with gargantuan uncompressed files, gamma shift workarounds or Google 'Vegas render out to fcp/ae' for the umpteenth time in case there was any new developments!
I really love Vegas, and all of us here know that it IS as good as any other NLE out there, except when it came time to colaborate with other software.
Now, for me, the Project Interchange is HUGE and effectively keeps me in Vegas longer, and this fact makes me a better customer for Sony!
If its stable, I'm in!
Re: Project interchange in V12: Sony is finally getting it right!!
If it weren't for the video 'arms' race each NLE is in right now, I simply wish they'd settle on a 'universal' edit format and get it over with. No reason at all they can't come up with a 'standard'...but guess it's off to the Sony = XDCAM, Panasonic = AVC Intra, Canon = Canon MXF, etc. video 'standard' races.
That's all there is to it or am I missing something?
Re going between different software's , if it does work as it should, without any silly things going wrong, I for one will be doing bacflips of joy, Vegas just became part of cs6.
I wish I didn't feel so cynical about vegas, but the idea that it is an interchange to outside collaborations is a farce when I can't depend on it to reliably work with even vegas projects from previous versions of itself. I'm using v12.367 64 bit right now, and there's no question it's made some improvements, but to me it remains same old vegas.

Doctor application system ditched
Some doctors want the whole recruitment process scrapped
The controversial system used to match junior doctors to specialist training posts has been shelved by ministers.
Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt said that after the first round of recruitment, the system would only fulfill a monitoring role this year.
Instead, the subsequent recruitment rounds will be CV-based, and handled at a local level by medical deaneries.
Doctors had complained the system was profoundly flawed, and that many juniors had been unfairly treated.
This was the only option on offer - which they have presented as a decision
Dr Matt Jamieson Evans
Remedy UK
Juniors had to apply for a job through a system known as the medical training application service (MTAS).
But the system ran into serious trouble with many complaining about a lack of posts, poorly designed recruitment forms and technical failures with the online application system.
The doctors were angry about the way everyone was made to apply for training places at the same time, rather than the old rolling recruitment process which allowed them to keep on trying for jobs as they came up.
They feared those who missed out in the first round of recruitment would not be able to get back on the career ladder towards becoming a consultant.
Criminal offences
It also emerged that the MTAS website had been the subject of two security breaches.
The Department of Health has at last seen sense and effectively abandoned the unfair, discredited, and shambolic MTAS system
Dr Andrew Rowland
Ms Hewitt told the Commons earlier this month she was confident that criminal offences had not been committed.
But following further investigations a report has been sent to the police.
A campaign group of doctors, Remedy UK, has launched a legal challenge with the aim of getting the whole recruitment process scrapped.
However, ministers are committed to seeing through the first round of the recruitment process.
They said every eligible applicant in the first round had now been guaranteed at least one interview for their first preference post, and as a result an additional 15,500 interviews had been arranged, and were now taking place.
Only doctors who fail in the first round of recruitment will go to second and subsequent rounds.
Doctors' response
The British Medical Association welcomed the decision to suspend the use of MTAS.
Dr Andrew Rowland, vice chairman of the BMA Junior Doctors Committee, said: "The Department of Health has at last seen sense and effectively abandoned the unfair, discredited, and shambolic MTAS system.
The recruitment system has been an unfair mess from start to finish.
Kate, Kettering
"Junior doctors have suffered blow after blow because of the government's terrible handling of these reforms.
"They have had to go through months of anxiety about their NHS careers, and on top of that, have potentially had their personal details exposed on the MTAS website."
However, Dr Rowland said the BMA remained opposed to the Remedy UK legal challenge, saying that scrapping the first round of applications would be disastrous for doctors, for patients, and for the NHS.
"Forcing people to re-apply for jobs through yet another new and untested system would be unfair on the junior doctors and consultants who have had to spend huge amounts of time and energy on MTAS."
Dr Matt Jameson Evans, a spokesman for Remedy UK, was unimpressed by the government move, which he called a "grandiose smokescreen statement" intended to divert attention away from the fact that thousands of doctors had suffered at the hands of MTAS.
He said: "The system has been down for weeks.
"I fail to see how they could have envisaged using it. This was the only option on offer - which they have presented as a decision."
A review of MTAS will decide whether the system should be reinstated in future years.

Following his appointment by Pope Benedict XVI, David D. Kagan became the seventh Bishop of Bismarck on November 30, 2011. On July 18, 2012, upon the appointment of then-Bishop of Fargo Samuel Aquila as Archbishop of Denver, Pope Benedict XVI named Bishop Kagan apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Fargo. He served in this role until Monsignor John Folda was ordained and installed as the eighth Bishop of Fargo on June 19, 2013. Bishop Kagan began a three-year term on the Board of Governors at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri on January 1, 2014.

In 1991, Bishop Folda was sent to Rome, where he earned a licentiate in sacred theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas. Upon returning to the Diocese of Lincoln in 1993, he was assigned as pastor of St. Paulinus Church in Syracuse and Holy Trinity Church in Avoca. He was also guidance counselor and teacher of religion at Lourdes Central Catholic Schools in Nebraska City. During this time, he also served as assistant to the Vicar General of the Diocese of Lincoln.
In 1995, Bishop Folda was appointed pastor of St. Leo Church in Palmyra and St. Martin Church in Douglas, while continuing to work in the diocesan offices. In 1997, he was appointed diocesan Director of Religious Education, Co-Vicar for Religious, Master of Ceremonies, and Censor Librorum.

BEIJING — Total deposit of China's housing provident fund reached 12.5 trillion yuan ($3 trillion) by the end of last year, up 17.7 percent year-on-year, official data showed.
Annual deposit grew 13.1 percent year-on-year to 1.9 trillion yuan in 2017, marking a five-year straight double-digit growth, according to a report released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-rural Development, the Ministry of Finance and the People's Bank of China.
By the end of 2017, the fund's total balance was 5.2 trillion yuan, up 13.1 percent year-on-year, and the number of employers and employees contributing to the fund grew by 10.1 percent and 5.2 percent year-on-year, respectively.
The housing provident fund is a long-term housing savings plan made up of compulsory monthly deposits by both employers and employees. It can only be used by employees on house-related expenses and, if unused, is returned to them when they retire or stop working.
It has effectively reduced housing cost for employees, helping them save 194 billion yuan as the housing provident fund loans offer lower interest rates than commercial loans, according to the report.
According to a recent survey by the China Youth Daily, the main uses of housing provident fund are for home loans, downpayments, rent and renovations, with 67.4 percent of 2,025 respondents opting for using the fund for home loans.

I just recently stumbled upon this song (again) and re-watched the MV. It reminded of the many tragic stories surrounding The Outsiders. Whether it was a good gang-related drama or just another gimmick to gain public attention, that depended on each person's separate views and bases. However, I thought it was a very good drama with the portrayal of many events in life–whether you want it to happen or not. It was a bit sad though that not many people come to acknowledge some of the more important concepts underneath the drama than just shaking their heads in shame or disregarding the matter as of insignificant (or unrealistic).
I ran across several comments made by viewers of the show (or attempted viewers) who criticized its contents of promoting gang related incidents or how it was with those typical 'good girl likes bad guy' type of plot. However, that was the most misconception ever made, especially in this case. Yu Hao (Dylan Kuo), Dan Li Jie/ Dan Zi (Lan Cheng Long), and Yang Xun Qi/ Ah Qi (Michael Zhang) were never bad in the first place–not in the very beginning of the story. They never wanted to mean harm to society in general but they were outcasts and had become of such because society had abandoned and/or neglected them. They came from poor backgrounds because of what happened with their families, causing their lost and how they lived life since. It was not like they had a choice that their parents died or left them. They had to rely on themselves and each other for support through all the years, plus doing what they thought was right to survive–when the society stared with disapproving eyes (while all that time no one cared to step forward and help lead their path to a more agreeable destination). They grew up without proper guidance but somehow turned out all right anyway. Bullying others and acting out through bizarre means were just their ways of coping with the situation and many obstacles thrown at them. And to even forget that they were orphans with no families. Yu Hao and Dan Zi were more polite and subtle on some levels versus Ah Qi (who chose to display his emotions and behaviors more freely toward others, not caring to be judged or punished for it).
They were responsible for their own actions after all, so why blame it on society, right? However, they still needed proper guidance after all. How old were they again when they lost their families? After so much exposure to such violence around them and the need for survival, it was just almost natural to follow suit or do whatever seen fit. To turn heads on them and shove them further into the wall they've already been driven to by other factors was not the best solution either. (Ever heard of sweeping all the dust under the sofa/ furniture? Same concept. It won't go away.) They never planned to join any gang-related organization because they knew of the dangers that came with it. They were only getting into enough troubles and they did not need more. However, they were tricked into joining the gang and thus becoming their tool for success and power.
Pei Yu Yan/ Xiao Yan Zi (Ady An) was taught to avoid those 'bad guys' and was brought up to be the most educated and respectful girl in the eyes of society. She avoided the gang of three like the plague and was very scared of them at the beginning–despite the fact that she accidentally and unknowingly saved their leader. She never would have thought to enter their world that was so different from hers. However, she learned of their good nature and crossed over to their side, not because of the dashing looking guy, but because she finally understood them as kind human beings who were just living a not so fortunate life yet were often misunderstood by the society.
After Xiao Yan Zi ran off with Yu Hao, her life changed drastically and it began to dawn on her bit-by-bit of her new surroundings and turmoils she had to deal with daily. However, she learned to cope with it and adapted herself into Yu Hao's dangerous world. Yes, she did cry at the beginning upon many tragic events happening surrounding her and to her, but she toughened up eventually. It would have been wiser (according to people playing by rules and those who were so perfect that they think it was the right thing to do) to run back to her parents and begged them for forgiveness. She did none of that but learned to live with the consequences that she'd bestowed upon herself.
There were many factors contributing to her runaway. It was not just love, but the thrive to experience. It had nothing to do with the whole idea about living it dangerously, but it was more like she was so sheltered in that all she'd done her life was learning to be perfect. It was not the best way to react to the overwhelming and/or suffocating feelings of being too sheltered in. But it was a decision she made–even if it was not the best (like stated above). (I am not trying to blame her parents since they thought what was best for their daughter and worried about her future. I am just stating what could be her possible feelings that drove her to that point.) She wanted to live life and experience. She wanted to continue to be lively like how she'd been with the guys and spent time doing the most random things–and not cared so much for perfection anymore. (Ever try pouring water into a cup/ glass until it overflows? It was what happened in this case. Again, not blaming her parents, just giving an example to better relate to this situation.)
So to say that this was just another cheap attempt for controversial creations and trying to gain attention is far from the truth. Think about it. There were so many things in the drama that is yet to be explored.

I hadn't heard of that drama before but I like gang-related series, or at least ones that have a bit of social realism in them. I must try to watch it soon!

Haha! Don't trust me! I have really weird tastes sometimes that are not preferred by the general public.
Thanks for leaving the comment all the same.

Why is Seeing the Pitcher's Release Point so Important?
1. Prevents "rushing your swing," as your mind and body compensates when you can't see the ball.
2. Improves your pitch recognition.
4. Failure to see the ball adds, "perceived velocity;" to a fastball.
5. Allows you to "read and react" to "late-breaking" pitches.

A quick update for all Stampin' Palooza Attendees!
It's been a pretty exciting morning at the studio today -- I just received my complimentary copy of the new 2009/10 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue that will be released in July!
I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying it's FREAKING GORGEOUS and I'm going to go completely broke next month ... eek!
Unfortunately I cannot share the details or image of this stamp set until the new catalogue is officially released, but Stampin' Up! did reassure me today that I can at least share the name of the set with you in the meanwhile.
Can you believe it? I'm actually AHEAD of time for a change, so here are the 4 cards we're making next week for the Bella Rose Window Sheets card class.

Cine lenses or cinema lenses are lenses that are designed especially for cinematography, and whose main distinguishing feature from conventional photographic lenses is the "clickless" or "declicked" aperture ring. Markings on the aperture ring indicate T-stops rather than f-stops as used in still photography. Furthermore, it is a desirable characteristic for cine lenses to occupy the same form factor as each other so as to be readily interchangeable and identical in operation. This particularly applies to lenses with different focal lengths. In order to maximise interchangeability, lenses within a series of cine lenses are often identical in transmittance of light (maximum T-stop).

Anamorphic lenses for cinematography may also be classified as cine lenses.

Manufacturers

The following companies produce cine lenses:
Angénieux

Atlas Lens Co.
Canon Inc.
Cooke Optics
Fujifilm

Quite some time since the last comments, so I wonder if improvements have been made. My experience of a Sunday lunch visit was above average. Food was cooked well, as per the Fullers norm, and the London Pride was just as it should be. Good choice for an afternoon pint sitting in the sun by the Agur.
ho ho ho and a bottle of rum by the shoreside here...or aye aye cap'n- this characters drank 2 bottles of rum before he got in here! If you thought that a family-friendly pub overlooking the picturesque River Agur and all the effluent that flows down it was the perfect place to pitch up on a Sunday night you might want to think again! Surely cap'n Cook couldn't have set eyes on a worse bunch of miscreants as you will find in this rough Fuller's vehicle....maybe they were left behind when the rest of the convicts were taken to Australia? You know that feeling when you have that class of people who are one minute friendly and offering you to dance with them only in order to provoke a public disorder incident? This place is like walking on ice...one false move and you're in a punch up! Even at the bar, usually a safe haven, a reprobate with a dog tried to provoke a bit of aggro with some comments aimed at me and our friends. And this was all pre-last orders!!! That said, should you survive and wear dark glasses to avoid 'boggin anyone out' then you can share the delights of an over-microwaved brake brothers delight, from the handy-to-read football-pitch-sized menu for stupid people. Menu comes tastefully drenched in an assortment of ethanol mixes... as your food arrives chargrilled- (thats how you wanted it right?) do not be put off as classy punters change their babies clothes ON THE TABLES- YES!!!! Hang on....please!! Im sorry- this wasn't the review of a pub.. I must have this mixed up with the A&E ward of Brighton hospital!!!! I'm sure it ends up looking like it!!!! PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY avoid this pub if you have an accent with received pronunciation......or if you are anyone else.
Can;t comment on the beer but the food is excellent. We have been here twice. The first time there were two of us and we had an excellent meal. The second time we had a very large party of 34 for a Christmas Party. The food was again excellent and given the logistics of catering for that many people, the food arrived in timely fashion and at the right temperature. Imogen and her staff coped superbly. Higky recommended.
Kitchen closed by half two bank holiday Monday? Was very busy, food looked good but we noted alot seemed to be sent back???? Toilets got a bit messy, had to mention to staff but it was addressed straight away. Entertainment brilliant, therefore we stayed far longer than we intended too, fed kids in the garden from the chippy accross the road unchallenged. Husband verified good pint served and the Pinot was pretty nice too, reasonable price. Staff were ok, but was exceptionally busy and under pressure.
Sunday 17th July 2011. Four of us plus 2 dogs went for lunch at 2pm. The staff were very friendly and were more than accomodating to us. The food was pretty good the landlady had her finger on the pulse of everthing. The only downside was the meat was slightly dried at the edges. But it was good value. The starters and desserts were top notch.

In letter to Lakewood, PETA says it's not opposed to pit bull specific legislation
Lakewood City Council voted on Jan. 2 to allow newly proposed legislation to be considered by a committee, which could possibly replace the city's breed-specific legislation (BSL) ordinance.
By Justin Madden, cleveland.com
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- The nation's largest animal rights group lent its support Monday to Lakewood's pit bull ban. The move should come as no surprise as PETA has for years resisted calls to oppose such bans.
The group, known for its celebrity endorsements and aggressive tactics, has long advocated that people not breed and sell any type of dogs while there are so many in animal shelters awaiting adoption.
PETA says it is for pit bulls but not against rules that limit the number of dogs bred for sale. In the case of pit bulls in particular, the dogs are often bred for fighting or end up in the hands of abusive owners, the group says.
In an email to Lakewood Mayor Mike Summers, Teresa Lynn Chagrin, animal care and control issues manager for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), said the organization wanted "to express our support of pit bull-specific laws and regulations" and proposed that any new ordinance require dogs be spayed and neutered and "require owners to keep pit bulls indoors unless they're being walked by a trained adult with a leash and secure harness."
"Many people are surprised to learn that PETA supports laws that strictly regulate pit bull ownership," Chagrin wrote in Monday's email. "We do so in the interest of protecting these dogs, other companion animals, and the community at large. Our office receives calls every day about pit bulls who have been neglected or abused, many of whom--not surprisingly--retaliate by attacking, injuring, or sometimes even killing humans and other animals."
Lakewood officials sent out a news release Tuesday acknowledging PETA's letter.
Chagrin's email also included a 2011 study by University of Texas Health Sciences Center, in which researchers who studied 15 years of medical records on dog bites found pit bull attacks were responsible for higher risk of death, medical costs and caused serious damage compared to attacks by other breeds.
Lakewood's pit bull ban came under fire last year after a pit bull mix named Charlie was ordered to leave Lakewood, despite his owner, Jennifer Scott, previously receiving permission from the city's animal warden to bring the dog home.
Last week the city council introduced a new ordinance that would replace the city's current breed-specific ordinance. The new ordinance would require owners of pit bulls to muzzle and place the dog on a leash no longer than six-feet long, pay a fee and carry liability insurance. The ordinance was sent to committee before it can be officially voted on.
Many opponents of the Lakewood ordinance are troubled on how the city determines which dogs are genetically more than 50 percent pit bull. In the past, some Lakewood dogs have been classified as "pit bull" based on appearance, not DNA testing. The issue is complicated by the fact that many experts say "pit bull" is not an actual dog breed, but rather a generic term used to describe dogs with physical traits sometimes found in dogs such as the American Staffordshire Terrier or American Bully.
Owners also oppose the proposed changes voted on last week saying the legislation reeks of breed-specific discrimination.
In a news release, Summers said PETA's email was the first time the city has heard from an expert about pit bulls and their impact on public safety.
"The safety of our community comes first," he said. "I am determined to protect the safety of our residents. We have proposed legislation that would allow pit bulls in our city, while providing protections that avoid jeopardizing the safety of all of us. What we have further learned from PETA is these same regulations serve to protect pit bulls from abuse and irresponsible pet owners as well."

World Cup Viewers Strain Plumbing Systems in Tokyo
Plumbing systems around the world are feeling the strain of the world cup. Tokyo's plumbing systems were put to the test with the team's game against Colombia, which ended in a 2-1 win, when fans held off going to the bathroom during the game.
Fans, millions of them, rushed to the toilet during halftime, putting Tokyo's system to the test in the process.
The fans that finally tore themselves away from the television after the first 45 minutes of the game led to a 24% spike in water usage during halftime. The city's water work's system assumed fans all went to the bathroom at once.
Officials claim the practice is common during football matches, where water usage fluctuates greatly.
Following the second-half winner, scored by Yuya Osako, fans again rushed to the toilets, causing an additional 50% spike in water usage. The bureau adjusted the city's water supply beforehand in anticipation that the horde of fans would rush to the loo. Pressure was also adjusted to allow for the systems to better handle the spike in water usage.
The goal was to stop any potentially costly issues with the city's plumbing system from occurring. Clogs and leaks have not been noted as of yet, but officials claim that the systems have been able to handle the increased usage without incident.
"For manufacturing or production environments, the challenge is minimizing production downtime, which can be caused by sewer pipe issues and will be caused by process pipe failures. Plants will want a quick and long-term fix that will minimize any immediate and future production downtime," claims CME Pipe Lining.
City officials are already preparing for Sunday's game when Japan faces Senegal. Viewership of the last game hit all-time high levels of 48.7%, shattering the previous record of 33.9% when Yuzuru Hanyu won the Olympic Gold in figure skating.
Cities are preparing for the 2026 World Cup in North America in anticipation of infrastructure not being able to withstand the crowds and increased usage. Energy, transportation and security in each city are being overhauled to help keep critical systems in operation.
Boston may be one of the host cities in North America that will need to stress-test their systems.
Cities across the world are struggling with the influx of viewers on infrastructure, with many cities holding viewing parties. Belgium and Tunisia both had diehard fans rush to watch the game and quickly followed the same pattern seen in Tokyo.

Netherlands To Modify Apache AH-64E Helicopter. The Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands has outlined its plans to refabricate the current fleet of 28 Apache Boeing AH-64D attack helicopters, with the aim of operating the upgraded type until 2050.
With a cover since 1997, Dutch planes have been widely used, including during missions in Afghanistan and Mali.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the fleet is already starting to find technical deficiencies, which results in "operational restrictions in circumstances with a great threat".
The decision of the US Army to stop supporting the D Apache model while making the transition to the AH-64E is another factor that drives the decision to "join the US in the re-manufacturing program," he adds.
The modifications will include more powerful engines, new transmissions and rotor blades, while other components will also be brought to the latest standard. The estimated budget for the project is between USD 298 million and USD 1.18 billion, and work will be carried out between 2021 and 2025.
The Netherlands points out that the United Kingdom is also moving forward with a reconstruction effort for the British Army's Boeing / Westland Apache AH1, which will also bring 50 aircraft from its current fleet to the improved AH-64E standard.


What Was the Religion of Muhammad Before Islam?
Before Blessed Muhammad (pbuh) became a prophet of Islam, what had his religion been?
As mentioned in the ayahs above, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) followed the religion of Prophet Abraham. He was a never a Christian or a Jew. Besides, he was never a pagan; he never believed in partners to Allah (swt) and never worshiped idols although the majority of Arabs were idolaters in that era. Even before Islam, he was a Monotheist who followed the righteous path and displayed best moral behaviors every time. Even in his childhood and in his youth, with the protection and guidance of Allah (swt), he never followed the distortions of the era of ignorance before Islam.
