Here are some ideas to honor Mary for her feast days and during the months of May and October.
Two months in the year are especially dedicated to the Blessed Mother — the month of May and the month of October. Special devotions to Mary during May go back to medieval times. October is the month dedicated to the rosary, since the feast of the Most Holy Rosary is celebrated on October 7th. In these months the Blessed Mother's statue or her picture in the living room are daily decorated with fresh flowers and candles. The family adds one or the other prayer, mornings and nights, such as the Salve Regina or the Memorare or the Magnificat. It is traditional throughout the Catholic world to sing hymns in honor of Mary the Mother of God. Some of those we have included here. We love especially the round by Mozart. It is composed only on the two words with which the Angel greeted Our Lady the first time and which countless millions of lips have repeated since "Ave Maria." "Meerstern" (Stella Matutina) has been received enthusiastically by everyone who has heard it sung even once.

A SINGLE BRANCH THREE ROSES BORE From Silesia, 1840.
Once I came across a family custom among friends of ours which I found so lovely that I want to mention it here. They treated their May altar in a most original way. As their apartment was too small to allow for an extra table, they put the statue of the Blessed Mother on their grand piano. The decorating was a family affair. Everybody could contribute what his heart urged him to bring. Throughout the month of May the smaller children would bring flowers which they had picked on their way home from school. Sometimes they placed their favorite toy at the feet of the Blessed Mother for a particular evening. It was the most irregular, but also the most lovingly arranged May altar I have ever seen.
From the old country we took with us the longing to pray at a wayside shrine in honor of Mary. As there were no shrines here, we simply made one ourselves. During the month of May we often walk in a little procession over to this shrine, saying the rosary and singing hymns. There is no reason why people could not make a shrine of their own in their gardens — under an apple tree, behind a rose bush — and during the month of May the whole family could once or twice a week have their May devotion outside.
We must lose the inhibition that our friends or neighbors "might mind" such exhibition of our faith. In all the years we have been living in America, time and again we have found that the average American is a most tolerant person when he senses that what you do is the outgrowth of an inner conviction. Take this instance: Three times a day the bell in our chapel rings the Angelus, whereupon everybody in the house stops talking, drops any work he is doing at that moment, and says the age-old prayer, "The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary." At the words, "And the Word was made flesh." we make a genuflection. After the Angelus we make the sign of the cross and return to whatever we have been doing before. Most of the time people of various religious affiliations are among our guests, but not one single time have I seen the flicker of a smile or any sign of criticism or contempt or whatever else we timid Catholics might be expecting. We are put to shame by every Mohammedan. At certain times of the day he takes his little prayer rug and kneels down, facing the east, to say his prayers, not minding what anybody might think or say. What his prayer toward the east is for the Mohammedan, the Angelus might be for us Catholics. If the circumstances of our life allow it, why not start this custom next month of May and keep it up ever after?
The day of the Assumption, August 15th, is the oldest and most important of all the feast days of the Blessed Mother. In the old country it is also known as "Great Flower Day." All the women and girls come to church on this day with their arms full of neat bundles of herbs, which they put down in the sanctuary at the Offertory procession. On this feast day the Church blesses the herbs immediately preceding Mass. The priest, standing before the altar and facing the people, pronounces a long and solemn blessing at the end of which the herbs are sprinkled with holy water and are incensed. There are special herbs which traditionally have to be included. Days before the feast the people are collecting them in the meadows and woods. Every family sends one such bundle to be blessed. Afterwards it will be kept in the corner at home near the picture or statue of the Blessed Mother. In cases of sickness a leaf is dropped into the food of the patient and during heavy thunderstorms one of the herbs is put into the fire on the kitchen stove — it is a sacramental and is meant to protect us in body and soul.
The connection between the feast of the Assumption and the blessing of herbs is told in an old legend When Mary the Mother of Jesus felt that her end was drawing near, she sent her guardian angel to summon the Apostles, who had gone out into the world to preach the Gospel of her Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. When they received the summons, they came in a great hurry and were just in time to witness the happy death of their dear Mother. Everyone had come except Thomas. He was three days late. When he heard that the Blessed Mother had been resting in the tomb for days, he cried bitterly and pled with the Apostles to open the tomb once more and let him glance at the beloved features. The other Apostles yielded to his plea, but as they opened the tomb, they found it filled with flowers, which gave out a heavenly scent. On the place where they had laic the body there was only the shroud left — the body had been borne up to heaven by the angels, where it was joined by the holy soul of the Mother of God. According to the legend, all the flowers and herbs on earth had lost their scent after Adam and Eve committed the first sin in the Garden of Eden. On the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, however, the flowers were given back their scent and the herbs their power to heal.
If the day of the Assumption is the oldest and most important feast of the Blessed Mother, the Church also remembers lovingly all the major events of her life. These days used to be days of obligation in the early Church. Only the feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th is such today in the United States. But every Catholic home in which the Mother of God is venerated will celebrate reverently these days her birthday on September 8th and her feast day on September 12th (the feast of the Holy Name of Mary). These could be celebrated in almost the same way as the birthday and feast day of the mother of the house: her place (statue or picture on the wall) decorated with flowers or evergreens, according to the season; vigil lights; a special song added in her honor at the family's morning and evening prayers; a little celebration with perhaps some reading (a story, a poem, a psalm from her office, a hymn out of the breviary, etc.) in the evening. There are many ways to honor someone we love.
When Mary was three years old — so we are told by tradition — her parents presented her in the temple, where she remained for the next few years, together with other young children from the first families (she was a princess of the royal house of David). These girls, while serving God, learned to spin, weave, and embroider the vestments and curtains around the temple. Helping to take care of the many priests on duty, they also learned to prepare food. They had to read long passages from Holy Scriptures, like the Book of Psalms; and they had to learn by heart parts of the Prophets and Proverbs. Thus, long before the angel talked to Mary, she knew of the tragic life and the cruel death predicted for the Messiah. Every year on the twenty-first of November, when we celebrate the feast of the Presentation, the Church draws our thoughts to that part of Mary's life.
The anniversary of the day when the angel said, "Hail, Mary, full of grace" — words repeated millions and millions of times ever since — the twenty-fifth of March, the Annunciation, is perhaps the most widely known feast of the Blessed Mother. From the earliest days of Christianity, in the catacombs of Rome, up to today, painters throughout the ages have tried to capture this greatest moment in human history, while composers have kept the "Ave Maria" ringing ever new.
When St. Luke tells us that, after the angel left, Mary "went with haste over the meadows" to visit her aged cousin, Elizabeth, the Church wants us to remember this in the feast of the Visitation on the second of July, so that we may always feel assured that Mary is ever ready to come to our aid.
According to Jewish teaching, Mary's child, being the firstborn son, belonged in a special way to God. Forty days after his birth, every male child had to be redeemed by the offering of a lamb, if the parents were well to do, or a pair of doves if they were of simpler means. At the same time the mother had to bring a purification offering while she was presenting her boy, through the priest's hands, to God. This twofold holiday in Mary's life we celebrate with her on the second of February. Because old Simeon would exclaim that this Child was "the light to enlighten them that sit in darkness," the Church blesses in a most solemn way the candles for the use of the altar. Therefore the day is popularly known as Candlemas Day. On this day every family takes the candles and vigil lights they will use during the year into the church for the solemn blessing. On the evening of this feast of the holy light, many of the blessed candles are lit for family prayer, thus leading the children into the world of holy symbols.
The next time the Church shows us the Mother of God, and also our Mother, is as "Mater Dolorosa" — the Mother of sorrows. The painters have pictured her as such usually either standing under the cross or with the dead body of her Son resting in her arms. When we celebrate the "Mater Dolorosa" on the fifteenth of September in our families, we might tell our children that her suffering did not start on Good Friday but at the very moment when she said to the angel, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word." As at the moment of her solemn fiat the Son of God started His earthly existence under her heart, all the words from the prophets and Psalms took on a new meaning for her. She knew that this little Child, Who would be born nine months hence, would be the "Man of Sorrows" of Holy Scripture. Any mother who holds a baby in her lap, or watches the first steps and the growing up of the older ones, should meditate on what it would mean to her if she knew that her little child would one day be cruelly tortured by a seething mob. For this is what Mary knew while she fondled the newborn baby. When she kissed the little hands and feet, she felt her lips already stained by the precious blood gushing forth from deep wounds; when she tended carefully the hair of the little boy, she knew it would be matted one day by cruel thorns and blood and sweat and the spittle of His enemies. Such thoughts and meditations will bring our Mother much closer to our families.
When the children see the mother decorate the altar of the Blessed Mother in the home on the seventh of October, they will ask, "What feast is today, Mother?" Then we mothers will tell our children, as soon as they are old enough to understand, the story of the apparition of the Blessed Mother to one of her sons, St. Dominic; this story shows how we can please her most: while saying ten "Ave Marias," we should meditate in our heart on the happenings of her earthly life. There are the joyful ones — the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity of our Lord, His Presentation in the Temple, and His Finding again in the Temple; there are those which tear her heart asunder in most bitter suffering her Son's agony in the Garden, His scourging at the Pillar, His crowning with thorns, His carrying the heavy cross, and His bitter end on Calvary; and there are her moments of triumph when He rose from the dead, ascended to Heaven sent the Holy Ghost, took her up to Heaven. and. finally, crowned her as Queen of Heaven. Thus the Blessed Mother — so legend tells us — taught St. Dominic how to say the rosary. On that day we wish to say it solemnly together — maybe all three, the joyful mysteries in the morning, the sorrowful after lunch, and the glorious at night. It is amazing how even very little children get the feeling for mental prayer if they are shown pictures of the appropriate mysteries while the grownups say the rosary.
On the sixteenth of July there is another chance for the children to ask Why, and that is when they see the mother decorate Mary's picture. There is another touching story we can tell our children to make them understand how solicitous our heavenly Mother is for our eternal salvation. Once she appeared to another of her sons, St. Simon Stock, Father General of the Carmelite Order in England. She showed him the scapular, the straight piece of cloth falling down from the shoulders to the feet in back and front, with an opening for the head. This was a part of the clothing of men and women in the time and country of Our Lord. Mary said to St. Simon, "Whoever will wear this garment, and die clothed in it, I shall come myself and take him up into heaven on the Saturday after his death." This is known as the "Sabbathine Promise" and on the sixth of July we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (popularly known in Europe as the Scapular Feast). Simon Stock added the scapular to the habit of the Carmelite monks and nuns. For practical use among lay people it was cut down until it reached its present-day size — just two little pieces of brown cloth worn over the shoulders on white tape. One by one, as the children grow up, they will be enrolled in the scapular. What a consolation to parents and children if they know that their beloved ones, whom God called to Himself, died clothed in the scapular!

Advisers able to take on Budget pension clients – but want to cherry pick pots
By Tessa Norman	 27th June 2014 10:04 am
More than 80 per cent of advisers have capacity to take on new clients seeking pension decumulation advice following the Budget, Apfa research shows.
But the research, published yesterday evening, also found a fifth of advisers would not advise on pots below a certain level.
A report from Apfa on the impact of the RDR shows 83 per cent of advisers would be willing to take on more pension clients following the radical pension reforms announced in the Budget, based on a poll of 300 advisers.
However, 19 per cent said they would not advise on pots below a certain level and a further 50 per cent said they may turn down pots of a certain size depending on the specific case.
The research also found a third of advisers have seen an increase in clients in the past 12 months who had previously been advised by a bank or building society.
In addition, the survey found 72 per cent of advisers are confident they have developed their final operating model post-RDR, while 12 per cent gave a neutral response and 16 per cent said they were not confident they have developed their final model.
The report concluded the RDR has not met all of its objectives as it has failed to create a market which serves the advice needs of more consumers.
The latest FCA figures, published in January this year, show the number of financial advisers rose by 1 per cent between July 2013 and January, from 21,684 to 21,881. The number of advisers operating on the first day of the RDR was 20 per cent down on December 2011, from 40,566 to 31,132.
The number of bank and building society advisers has fallen from 8,658 at the end of 2011 to 3,556 in January 2014.
Apfa director general Chris Hannant says: "We hope the FCA will use this report as it prepares its post-implementation review of RDR.
"While there has been a small drop in adviser numbers, this report shows that the majority of firms have adapted successfully to the post-RDR world.
"However, there are still a number of advisers with serious concerns about whether they will be able to continue with their current business model given the significant costs of running an advice firm, and particularly the increasing cost of regulation."
He says further regulatory change, such as upcoming measures for platforms and on capital adequacy, will also have a "major impact" on firms' financial sustainability.

Was APFA requested by its membership to undertake this survey and do its findings serve any useful purpose?
"We hope the FCA will use this report as it prepares its post-implementation review of RDR". What if it doesn't? It'll have been just money wasted.

Did I ever tell you that one of my dearest friends in the whole world owns a winery?
Actually, her whole family does.
I should probably start at the beginning. Sometimes the planets align and you are lucky enough to find the right thing at the right time in the right place. That's how my college experience was– I attended a small liberal arts college nestled in the Susquehanna Valley, right next to a river in the middle of farmland, and met some of my favorite people ever. Even though it was an 8 hour drive from my hometown in Massachusetts, I never felt alone because of the friends I made there and how their families made us feel at home. What an amazing four years that was!
Thousands came to enjoy two days of grape stomping, live music, pig roasting, and wine tasting. The wine store was so packed it took almost half an hour to buy my favorites. In fact, every time I visit the place is bustling– and I'm sure a huge part of that is not only the amazing wine but also the warmth her family exudes doing what they love.
They'd never tell you this, but Shade Mountain Vineyards is one of the biggest in the entire area. They have over 30 varieties of wine and 40 of grapes! They grow enough to sell to other wineries. They've won tons of awards as well, and yet stay incredibly humble about how much the business is thriving.
We've been waiting 3 years to be free the same weekend as the fall festival. Our calendars aligned. There were grapes to be stomped. Noodle was ready.
It lasted about 2 seconds for her before she said "all done", but many others got into it!
The rest of our weekend road trip was spent with another college best friend and her daughter, just a month younger than Noodle.
These two BFFs enjoyed each other's company immensely, as did their mommies.
Noodle loves my friend, here she is snuggling against her.
They painted pumpkins; check out the concentration!
They made owl hats, explored nature and got their faces painted. Noodle got a lady bug on her cheek and her friend wanted a watermelon then changed her mind to earthworm. Wish I had a photo of that one, so funny!
Roadtrips are just good for the soul, you know? Sure, I still don't have real pumpkins on my front porch or anything packed for another trip I'm taking next week, but we've added some much-needed time into our "friend bank" and chased the winter-is-coming blues away for a bit.
What can I say. It was worth it. Now I just need to start planning another girls' weekend for the spring with my other group of girlfriends. The taste of lavender martinis is fading and I'm missing these gals immensely!
Any fall roadtrips on your calendar this year? Where would you visit if you had the time? What's a favorite roadtrip in your neck of the woods? When I lived in Charlotte, we had Asheville, Atlanta, and the Charleston just a few hours away. I was so lucky!
Wow! Lucky you Carrie. How beautiful! Lavender Martini's? I don't think I've ever heard of one of those!
Oh man that looks like so much fun. Hubs and I used to adore going to wineries pre-Little Bit. Alas, we have not been in over two years.
It looks like Noodle really enjoyed her playmate and Mommy's friend. How cool that they are only a month apart?
We live about two hours from Washington D.C. and will be taking a little road trip, weather providing, to the National Zoo on Monday. Now is the best time to go. The humidity is way down and the crowds ease off in the fall.
Ever since I saw Lucy do this on "I Love Lucy" I wanted to do it and it was of course confirmed when I watched "A Walk in the Clouds". It looks like so much fun! And the pictures of the best friends are just priceless. I love all your little adventures! They are so much fun.

Exploration Geologist at Detour Gold Corp.
Geography has always been an interest of mine since I was young. Upon graduating from High School I decided to take some time to explore the world and become familiar with different places and cultures, after which I decided to enroll in the Geology program at Acadia University.
I enjoy travelling and being outdoors which is why I decided to take geology. During those four years at Acadia we went on many field trips and did mapping exercises enhancing my abilities in the field. We studied many different places around the world and explored what made them special. One summer at Acadia I decided to go tree planting for a few months where I developed determination to become better each day. This work helped me in having a better sense of direction, organization and patience to handle difficult situations.
Since graduating from Acadia I had a short contract working in the Cobequid Highlands of Nova Scotia exploring for copper minerals. In 2016 I completed a week long field course on mineral and gold exploration which ultimately led to my current employment with Detour Gold.
I started at Detour in January 2017 and my main duty was core logging for the 2017 winter drill program. I have been lucky enough to get an extended contract and learn a great deal. I have been able to participate in a trenching program where the overlying till is stripped back to expose bedrock. We use MapInfo to create many different geologic and geographic maps to help us determine where an area has a potential for gold mineralization.
This summer and fall we have been conducting a fly drill program where we have to use a helicopter to reach the remote drill sites that are inaccessible by truck. Every morning I am excited about what the day will hold and what I will get to experience next.

Israeli forces killed seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday in air strikes and an undercover raid that Hamas said targeted one of its commanders and the Israeli military said left one of its officers dead, Reuters reports.
The Israeli incursion and air attacks drew rocket fire from the Hamas-controlled enclave, with sirens sounding in Israeli communities along the border. The military said its defences intercepted two of the launches. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage on the Israeli side of the frontier.
The violence prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a visit to Paris, where he had been gathering with world leaders for a World War One commemoration.
Hamas said the incident began when assailants in a passing car opened fire on a group of its armed men, killing one of its commanders. Hamas gunmen gave chase as the car sped back towards the border with Israel, Hamas said in a statement.

During the pursuit, Israeli aircraft fired more than 40 missiles in the area, according to witnesses.
Medics and Hamas officials said at least seven people were killed, four of them militants, including Hamas commander Nour Baraka. It was unclear if the other fatalities included gunmen.
The Israeli military said in a statement that: "During an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) Special Forces operational activity in the Gaza Strip, an exchange of fire evolved."
#GazaCrisis
One officer was killed and a second was wounded, it said.
A return by Israel to a policy of targeting individual Hamas commanders – tactics largely abandoned in recent years – could significantly raise tensions along the border.
Violence has flared frequently on the frontier since Palestinians began weekly protests on March 30. Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations have been trying to broker a long-term ceasefire.

Q: Shinn Estates is a biodynamic vineyard. What does that mean? A: Biodynamics is a method of farming that concentrates on using natural ways to bring fertility to your soil, using natural habitat to control problematic insects, and allowing your surrounding ecosystem to be part or your farm.
For soil fertility we use fish and seaweed from the northeast coast, peanut shells and compost, and similar sorts of things. Because of that and the natural habitat we foster, most of our problematic insects are controlled by beneficial insects hunting them down.
In short, being biodynamic is about building a natural ecosystem on your farm. The rhythms of the soil build fertility and as farmers we intervene as little as possible.
Q: That sounds really cool. Can you give me an example of what that means in practice?
A: Sure. One aspect is allowing volunteer vegetation to grow (otherwise known as weeds), which allows for a beneficial insect population and natural pollinator habitat. You can see this if you visit; we allow a natural meadow of volunteer vegetation to prosper amongst the vines, even around the trunks of the vines.
Q: Is it more expensive to be biodynamic?
A: As far as the economics of the vineyard goes, we've seen only benefits from our sustainable practices. Here at Shinn Estate Vineyards it's allowed us to produce better wines year after year.
Q: Have you been in the vineyard and wine business long? And what grapes do you grow?
A: Fifteen years; we first planted in 2000, our first harvest was in 2002. We manage 25 acres now, 20 on our home farm and 5 up the road. Before we purchased our land it was a conventional corn and rye farm; we converted it to the biodynamic vineyard we are now.
Over the years we've planted merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, malbec for reds, and whites sauvignon blanc, semillon, pinot blanc, chardonnay, riesling. We're fully planted now.
Q: What can visitors to your farm experience?
A: We have a small tasting room with an outside patio that's really nice in the spring, summer and fall. Every weekday year round people can take self guided tours through the vineyards. On Saturdays and Sundays I do guided tours of the vines at 1:30, and at 2:30 my husband David Page does a guided tour of the barrel cellar and winery. In addition, we have special events throughout the year.
Q: Special events? Tell me about a few.
A: Well, every Friday in February Joan Bernhardt is here giving palm readings from 5:30-7:30; we're open late on Fridays and Saturdays, until 8 pm. Another February special event is our 12th Annual Futures Wine Tasting and Dinner; it's so popular we do two evenings. One was last Saturday night, the second is this coming Saturday night.
Q: Palm readings sound fun, and the futures dinner delicious. But I'm not sure what that really is. Can you explain please?
A: This is a special dinner because it is our yearly futures opportunity, where people can taste the wines that are not yet bottled and labelled, and they can purchase them at a significant discount. When the wine is bottled and labeled, they can come and pick them up.
People don't have to come to the dinner to take advantage of the futures pricing opportunity; we'll take orders between now and April 1st. However the dinners are the only opportunity to taste the futures before bottling.
Q: Sounds like a great opportunity. How can people keep up on all the Shinn Estates goings-on?
A: The best way is to visit our website and sign up for our weekly newsletter—the News from Oregon Road.
Q: How did you get into the wine business? Do you come from a long line of farmers?
A: No, though my husband's grandparents were lifelong farmers. David is a chef and we owned two restaurants and a take out place in NYC. A well known one was Home Restaurant in Greenwich Village.
In our restaurants all our wines were from the east coast. We fell in love with east coast wines, particularly North Fork wines.
We quickly became friends with winemakers and vineyard managers out here on the North Fork and realized this was how we wanted to change our lives.
Our winery has evolved over the years and now David also distills beautiful brandies, an eau de vie and a grappa. As I mentioned previously David's grandfather was a farmer but he was also a bootlegger. So I guess it is in his blood, but of course we are fully licensed to distill.
Q: What is it about North Fork wines that you love so much?
The cool climate really makes beautifully balanced wines, our soils are a gravelly loam. These two features work in tandem to produce remarkable wines.
Q: So did you discover the North Fork through wine? Or did you grow up nearby?
A: David is from Wisconsin and I am from Ohio, and we met in the San Francisco Bay area. We were living in the city when discovered the North Fork, back in the early 90's. We started coming out on and off until we decided to put down roots here.
Q: Put down roots indeed; your biodynamic vineyard sounds so wonderful. Since none of you had a farming background, was becoming vineyard owners difficult? Did anything surprise you?
We'd always had a deep connection to the land. One thing that was surprising to us was that there wasn't a lot of sustainable wine growing on the east coast. Now 16 years later there's a program called the Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing program, which we helped form, and nearly half the vineyards out here are part of it. Each individual farm in the program is independently certified by a third party inspector.
Q: You and David aren't just farmers and winemakers, right? You're innkeepers too.
A: Right. We also have an inn in the historic farmhouse on the property; like our vineyard tasting room, we keep it open year round.
The inn is historic because our property used to be a Tuthill farm, they are one of the oldest families around here. The farmhouse was built in 1880.
The inn has four bedrooms, and guests receive a complimentary hot breakfast every morning, plus we include many benefits: A complimentary wine tasting and tour, discounts on our wines and guests can enjoy walking through our 20 acres of beautiful vines.
It's a great way to escape to the North Fork.

We always have a number of current projects as well as ongoing programs; learn more about these projects and programs below.
Brunswick County Byways Visitor & Interpretive Center Project
SPDC assists with Tobacco Commission & National Scenic Byways Project grants
Brunswick Byways Visitors Center artist renderingWith the assistance of the Southside Planning District Commission, the County of Brunswick received a $458,375 Economic Development grant from the Virginia Tobacco Commission in October 2010, and the County received a $638,479 National Scenic Byways Project grant from the Department of Transportation in November 2011 to plan and construct a comprehensive tourist welcome center with interpretive displays, maps, brochures, and restroom amenities.
Brunswick County purchased the once regional office building of the International Paper Company situated on 1.7 acres for use as the Brunswick Byways Visitors Center. Strategically located on Highway 46 (Christanna Highway), the project site is well situated to attract and serve travelers.
Highway 46 is a Virginia Byway and is a gateway to Lake Gaston. The Brunswick Byways Visitors Center site is located on a prominent hilltop location within one mile of the Fort Christanna Historical Park and a planned canoe trail access on the Meherrin River, a State Scenic River. The site is approximately 3 miles south of U.S. Route 58 and the Town of Lawrenceville, and is 10 miles south of Interstate 85.
The Brunswick Byways Visitors Center, as a staging area and orientation resource, is pivotal to the implementation of the County's multifaceted tourism development plan. The Center will inform, attract and direct travelers in order to cultivate its resources for entrepreneurial opportunities and jobs and generate much needed revenue. The Brunswick County Tourism Association was formed to direct tourism development activities for the County and will direct daily operation of the Visitor Center.
Three full-time jobs will be retained and two (2) part-time jobs will be created as a result of this project.
The County has procured the architectural services of HagerSmith Design of Raleigh, NC to design interior and exterior renovations to the building and site. Museum Concepts of Arlington, VA has been procured to develop a storyline; write an exhibit script; design interior and exterior interpretive exhibits, fixtures, and graphics; design a brochure with a tear-off map; create a brand and/or logo for the Visitor Center; and design and produce a short film. Site signage and directional off-site signage will also be installed as part of this project.
Technical assistance and research in the development of interpretive resources has already been promised by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and Department of Historic Resources (DHR), Old Brunswick Circuit Foundation, the Brunswick County Historical Society and the Saponi Tribe.
DHR will also provide archaeological artifacts from the excavations for public exhibition. A well-known potter of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe has even offered to donate pottery for display.
The Southside Planning District Commission is currently providing the County with grant administration services for this project. The anticipated project completion date is January 2015.

SUPREME COURT RULES ON ARREST UNDER SC/ST ACT
The Supreme Court has recently passed a judgment in Dr. Subhash Kashinath Mahajan vs. the State Of Maharashtra and Anr. on 20.03.2018 and held that there is no absolute bar against grant of anticipatory bail in cases under the Atrocities Act if no prima facie case is made out or where on judicial scrutiny the complaint is found to be prima facie mala fide.
Herein, the Respondent-Complainant, a store-keeper at the Government Distance Education Institute, Pune (College) and a member of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST), had lodged an FIR against the Directors of the College, under various provisions of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (the Act) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for making adverse entry in the Respondent's annual confidential report to the effect that his integrity and character was not good. Thereupon, the investigating officers applied for sanction to the Appellant, the then Director of Technical Education in the State of Maharashtra, under Section 197 Cr.PC against the Directors of the College. But the sanction was refused by the Appellant and five years after passing such order, the Respondent filed an FIR under the Act against the Appellant on the grounds that the he was not competent to grant or refuse the sanction as the Directors of the College were Class-I officers and that in such cases only the State Government could grant or refuse sanction.
After being granted anticipatory bail, the Appellant applied to the Bombay High Court under Section 482 CrPC for quashing the proceedings on the ground that he had merely passed a bonafide administrative order in his official capacity. But the High Court rejected his petition stating that it cannot exercise its inherent powers to quash the proceedings as it may send a wrong signal to the downtrodden and backward sections of the society. Therefore, the Appellant filed an appeal before the Supreme Court against the aforesaid High Court judgment.
The Supreme Court made the following observations and held that:
The provisions of the Act may require a check on any false implications and accusations against innocent citizens on caste lines.
Section 18 of the Act provides that provisions of anticipatory bail under Section 438 of CrPC shall not apply to any case involving the arrest of any person on an accusation of having committed an offence under this Act.
The Object of the Act was that the members of SC and ST are highly vulnerable and often subjected to humiliation and harassment. In the event that the accused-perpetrators of atrocities under the Act are granted anticipatory bail, they may misuse their liberty and threaten/intimidate the victims and prevent or obstruct them in the prosecution of such offenders.
On the other hand, there has also been rampant misuse of such provisions to make false complaints or wreak personal vengeance against public servants/quasi judicial/judicial officers, etc.
Thus, the Supreme Court herein held that the express exclusion under Section 18 of the Act is limited to only genuine cases and is inapplicable where the accused is able to prove that he has not committed any atrocity against a member of SC/ST and that the allegation was mala fide and prima facie false. It further held that limiting the exclusion of anticipatory bail in such genuine cases is essential for protection of fundamental right of life and liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Otherwise, it may be difficult for public servants to conduct their official duties. People may take undue advantage of such provisions of the Act and black mail public servants with the threat of registering a false case under the Act and the public servants may be left with no protection of law. This could not have been the intention of the Legislature behind enacting the Act.
Further, there cannot be a presumption of guilt so as to deprive a person of his liberty without an opportunity of being heard before an independent forum or Court of law.
Furthermore, the innocent persons against whom no prima facie case is made out cannot be subjected to the same treatment as the persons who are prima facie perpetrators of the crime.
Thus, in case the Appellant apprehends arrest, he is entitled to show to the Court that there is no prima facie made out against him.
Thus, the Apex Court quashed the proceedings filed against the Appellant and further held that any arrest of a public servant under the Act can only be upon approval of the appointing authority and of a non-public servant upon approval by the Senior Superintendent of Police of the concerned district based on reasons recorded, which have to be scrutinized by the Magistrate for permitting further detention. Further, before making any arrest of a public servant, a preliminary enquiry may also be conducted by the concerned Deputy Superintendent of Police to find out whether the allegations make out a case under the Act and the allegations are not frivolous or motivated.
The Government has reportedly taken note of the aforesaid Judgment of the Supreme Court with regard to diluting the provisions of the Act to the extent of automatic arrest and registration of criminal cases under the said law, but the Government has also decided to file a review petition against the said Judgment in the Supreme Court in the coming week.

THE RECORDS
Above are two LP album covers in the Old Corral collection of Wakely tunes, and both show Jimmy with his custom Gibson SJ-200 guitar (Super Jumbo 200) with his name inlayed in the pick guard. The Wakely Family donated that guitar to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum around 1999.
The "Jimmy Wakely Blue Shadows" album is from MCA Coral and has re-issues of his Decca songs.
The "In Person Jimmy Wakely The Singing Cowboy" album on the right is from Wakely's Shasta company.
A FEW MORE IMAGES ...
Above from L-to-R are expert driver Post Park (real name: Custer B. Park), Jimmy Wakely (with another shirt variation) and Milburn Morante in RIDIN' DOWN THE TRAIL (Monogram, 1947). The arm-in-a-cast for Post Park was an excuse for Wakely to handle the reins, but if Jimmy got into trouble, Park was ready to take over.
In the above scene from THE RANGERS RIDE (Monogram, 1948) are, from L-to-R, Virginia Belmont, Wakely and his sidekick Dub 'Cannonball' Taylor. Virginia Belmont did heroine duties in two other Wakelys, OKLAHOMA BLUES (Monogram, 1948) and COURTIN' TROUBLE (Monogram, 1948), and was the female lead in the serial DANGERS OF THE CANADIAN MOUNTED (Republic, 1948) which starred Jim Bannon.
(Courtesy of Minard Coons)
After his Monogram series ended, Jimmy made a few appearances in films. Above, from L-to-R are Wakely, Preston Foster, Johnny Mack Brown, Ken Murray and Buddy Baer (brother of one-time heavyweight boxing champ Max Baer). These players, and many other B western supporting actors, were working on THE MARSHAL'S DAUGHTER (1953).

Q: Access from anywhere in the world? How can I acess to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with SSH and VNC from anywhere in the world with a wifi connection? I found this application, but can this app access my Ubuntu system from anywhere in the world?

A: Yes you can use this application to access your Ubuntu.
But there are two thing to take note of:

*

*SSH or VNC service should be installed in Ubuntu and configured properly to provide service.

*If your computer does not have a static IP address, a dynamic DNS service will also be needed.

Q: "using host libthread_db library" gdb debugger is not included I am newbie for programming. I have tried to compile C file using Linux Ubuntu terminal by this command:

gcc -g test.c

After compiling I then start debugging

gdb -q ./a.out

to debugging my C file. I'm reading the programming book but the book said that I should have "Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1"" popup right after I start to debugging by using gdb. At first I ignored it but later on I could not debug some of the example from the book.
How can I update this debugger?

A:
the programming book but the book said that I should have "Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1"" popup

The book is wrong:

*

*GDB is a command-line program, it doesn't do popups

*You should only get a message about libthread_db if you are debugging a multi-threaded program (and you don't appear to be doing that).

later on I could not debug some of the example from the book

You should ask a separate question, showing exactly what "I could not debug" means.

Check out where we've been by clicking the arrows or swiping right or left.
In October, 2017 we set off at the end of the month! We traveled up through Canada to see Niagara Falls and then back down into the states.
In November, 2017 we visited a lot of friends! This seems to be the area of the country where lots of people we know have moved - it was wonderful to see many of them!
In December, 2017 we made our way back up north to spend time back in the Midwest with our families for the holidays.
In January, 2018 we spent a bit more time with family then went south to warmer weather as quickly as we could! We then visited some friends and family in Texas and started making our way west.
In February, 2018 we drove through the Southwest seeing a bunch of cool National Parks!
In March, 2018 we spent time visiting some more National Parks and made our way to Southern California.
In May, 2018 we continued our drive up the West Coast and enjoyed time in the Pacific Northwest with more friends and family!
In June, 2018 we went up into Canada and then down through the Rockies making our way back to the Midwest.
29,726 miles. We've told many people how ordinary the trip seemed in the midst of it. Daily life was still daily life. Parenting was still hard. Marriage was still hard. Exercise and eating healthy were still hard. We had grand visions that the trip would somehow transform our lives. Turns out "the grass isn't always greener" is a cliche for a reason!
The whole experience of our past year seems surreal now that we're settled back into stationary life. Like many memories, the challenging times seem to fade as other memories sweeten with age. We experienced so many sacred moments connecting with friend and family, watching our kids explore the world, and simply being in awe of creation. A grand adventure indeed.
Anyway, enough sentimental drivel. It's time for the raw data. Here's one final infographic to capture the details of our travels.
There are a lot of reasons to be cynical about the US government right now (and we're definitely cynical about it!) This post is not about that. Our travels across the country have given us a greater appreciation for many of the things the government is doing right. Here's a list of the some government institutions we now love even more.
We've been able to travel almost 30,000 miles in 9 months to some incredible places. It literally would not have been possible without the roads and highways. Thanks to all of the construction workers, civil engineers, and city planners than work hard to make sure we can all get around.
Human beings don't have a great history of thinking long-term about the environment. The National Park System is not one of those instances. The foresight of people like John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, Marjory Stoneman Douglass, and so many others is something we can still learn from today. We have so many awe-inspiring places in this country with countless people working hard to "preserve and protect" the natural wonders of this world. Visiting the National Parks with children has given us an even greater appreciation for these parks – the Junior Ranger programs, visitor centers, and ranger classes have taught our entire family so much about the natural world and the importance of preserving it for generations to come.
There are lots of awesome government-run campgrounds all across the country (plus tons of public land with free dispersed camping). We've been especially pleased with the affordability of the Army Corps of Engineers parks. While not quite as "glamorous" as the National Parks, these parks provide great opportunities to get outside and enjoy nature, have a barbecue with family or friends, or spend an evening camping under the stars.
Did you know you can receive an email every day with scanned images of the pieces of mail that will be coming that day? We didn't! Kimberlee's mother has been kind enough to check our mail for us while on the road, and this feature has been great for helping us keep an eye out for important pieces of mail. Not to mention that there's a post office practically everywhere that makes it easy and affordable to send and receive mail.
In addition to checking out ebooks and audiobooks with the click of a button, libraries have also been a great place to do some work while on the road (free wifi!) Every time we've been amazed at how many people are using the libraries – they've been packed! Of course we've seen lots of people checking out books, but we've also seen students studying or working on group projects, people of all ages using the computers (including using them to look for and apply to jobs), and some incredible librarians who seem like they're working multiple jobs at once as teacher, researcher, social worker, IT support person, customer service rep, oh and librarian as well.
Our country still has a long ways to go to achieve the ideals upon which it was founded. However, these institutions give us hope, help temper our cynicism a bit, make us glad to pay taxes, and motivate us as we strive to form a more perfect union.
Wow. It's hard to believe we've now been on the road for a little over 6 months! Here's a few numbers and a bunch of photos to capture some of our adventures from the past 3 months.
February began with a quick trip into Mexico – the pastries were a big hit!
Checking out the sights at Big Bend National Park.
Working on their Junior Ranger books at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
Hiking at Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Quintin turned 5 in February! He wanted a robot cake!
Sledding down the dunes at White Sands National Monument.
What happens when it gets too cold to camp? HOTEL TIME!
Salvation Mountain – what a crazy, incredible, WEIRD work of art!
"East Jesus" – it's like a Mad Max film crossed with an art gallery.
What happens when all of the campgrounds are full at Joshua Tree National Park? You get to camp here.
Climbing around on the rocks at Joshua Tree National Park.
Taking the Junior Ranger oath.
We've visited LOTS of children's museums on the trip. Somehow a pit of sand is always more interesting than any of the fancy exhibits.
Easter Sunday at one of the many churches we've been visiting along the journey. The child-to-egg ratio here was Quintin and Eliza approved.
This is what 3 days at Disneyland did to these two.
After Southern California, we started making our way up the coast. We camped not too far from this spot!
Pinnacles National Park – working on another Junior Ranger book.
An elephant seal rookery. SO MANY SEALS!
Hiking to a waterfall at Limekiln State Park along the Big Sur coastline in California. Beautiful place.
