The Catholic Orangemen of Togo is a prequel to Murder in Samarkand. Catholic Orangemen is a gentle memoir of my African years, with some thoughts on African development issues and the complex and continuing ramifications of colonial rule. The best Chapter is called Almost Gabon, in which I nearly go to Gabon, but then don’t. I might stick that here somewhere as a sample chapter.
I suspect that what Schillings are trying to block is the story of how Spicer escaped prosecution, the role of Number 10, and the origin of New Labour’s love affair with mercenaries. Or maybe it’s the bit about when I missed my flight to Gabon.
Since 1999 the WINTEX 1000 is our most-sold automatic soil sampler for soil samples up to the depth of 25 cm. Especially the ease of use, its consistency and sampling speed is highly appreciated by our customers.
Up to 300 sticks and 20 soil samples per hour make soil sampling fast and efficient. The number of soil samples and the acreage covered increase significantly compared to soil sampling by hand. There is no need for hiring extra help and physical strain is minimized.
The WINTEX 1000 is developed for sampling the top layers of the soil to be able to measure the content of micro nutrients. The depth can be adjusted infinitely from 0-25 cm. The samples are taken by a soil sampler probe and not with an auger. This ensures a completely homogenous sample. If a sample is taken with an auger, you will always take more material from the top layers than from the lower layers of the soil.
The specially developed soil probe carries 300-450 g of soil which is the preferred quantity to be used at the laboratories for analysis. The soil sample is automatically dropped into a soil box from which it can be filled into boxes or bags ready to be sent to the laboratory. This ensures a quick and effective way of getting through work. For higher efficiency the WINTEX 1000 is equipped with three settings to adapt to different soil samples.
The WINTEX 1000 is reliable and extremely user-friendly. All operations are easily carried out from the driver’s seat. The soil sampler only needs minimum maintenance, and the probe is easily replaced.
The WINTEX 1000 can be mounted on almost every vehicle and it is easily installed with quick couplings.I agree that Sharia is a terrible, unjust system of laws. I would absolutely fight tooth and nail if Sharia was introduced as law in America. 

Fortunately, we have a Constitution that protects us against that happening. If you have any news source that has facts on Sharia being introduced as law in America I would like to see it. 

 Does your memory not extend more than 6 months? 

My entire life, Christian leaders of all varieties have fought the very idea that homosexuality exists.   

Come on now. I'm happy that you guys seem on board now, but I have no trust that once it's politically convenient you will not flip back to "traditional values."How has your morning been?
Mine was spent uploading presentations onto flash drives.
I still can’t believe we’re leaving tomorrow!! 🙂 The flash drives was just one task on my list of a million to get done before I leave.
I had the other half of my easter scone as a snack midmorning.
Lunch looks a little off because it was a last minute grab on my way out the door this morning.
Lets have a show of hands on how many people had Easter left overs for lunch today… anyone?!?… I know you’re out there!
I love lunches that require you to dip.
And a single slice of Pumpkin Nut Bread to round everything out.
Any other event planners out there? Please share your top three last minute mistakes make me feel better.
So far I’ve misspelled my CEO’s name on his badge, forgot to order my CEO’s business card, and shipped shirts to a presenter’s old mailing address and the shirts have no disappeared. Yikes!
Putting awards in boxes according to county, but taking the wrong box! Serious mistake!
-Forget my contract so the hotel can tell me things that I didn’t put on the contract that I know I did!
-Water on tables!
The list goes on and on…I love business centers in hotels, they always can help me! Good luck!
not that this is really an event planner’s job at all, but my friend works in admissions for a college & sent letters telling students they were not accepted to the college in “congratulations” envelopes. pretty bad, huh???
Bahaha! That’s so hilarious.
That pumpkin nut bread looks really good.
I have made sooo many event planning mistakes! (And mistakes in general, at work.) I try to go through the day piece by piece and think of what could go wrong / what I’m forgetting, but it’s so hard to be “in the moment” when you’re not. Things may seem like they’re a big deal now but 2 weeks from now, you’ll laugh and be proud of what you did, and forget the little stuff! Good luck!
3) Setting out a beautiful spread of coffee and pastry to realize that the milk had spoiled….and it was the CEO who had just poured it into his coffee.
But seriously – just walk through the events of the day as if you were the participant, keep your cell phone on at all times and have fun! Good luck!
– Had an elevator stop working that brought people to the rooftop for a rooftop party and had them schlep up the stairs.
– Had all power taken out of some raw space where we were hosting a cocktail reception and the only lighting were dim candles.
– Forgot to get a coat rack for a winter event.
I could go on! For every mistake you make now, you’ll ensure that you don’t miss them in the future!
I’ve made my fair share of event mistakes…including publicizing an event for the WRONG DAY. oops.
Hang in there! I once had to pay a ton of money because I ordered books for a conference from Barnes and Noble, and they were all over the state of Texas. My bad!
Yeah it’s a charmed life, right?
I forgot to get a permit for wine sampling in one of our stores for a big party for 600 people. We made it happen before event day but it was a process! Can you imagine 600 executives with no alcohol?
I’m eating Easter leftovers today! I made Kath’s Veggie Lasagna, and I ate a piece of that, plus a salad, for lunch.
1. Did not bring comfortable shoes for all the running up and down stairs I had to do ALL DAY.
2. Didn’t make enough signs to direct guests where to go.
3. Didn’t allow enough time for me to get ready for said wedding. I recently saw a picture of me, dressed up, with flat hair and PIT STAINS.
Meghann, I used to be an events planner at an inn. I planned business meetings, dinners, bridal showers, weddings, anything you can think of. Well, one of the brides had ONE request: that the chef make her husband’s groom cake from this special recipe she had. It was his favorite cake. From the time we booked this event to the day of the wedding we had changed chefs at least once, and the week before the wedding the bride emailed me again to make sure we had the recipe and that it would be all good. On the night of the wedding I was upstairs in the owner’s quarters waiting things out when one of the waitstaff told me I had to come down immediately. The bride was freaking out – the frosting on the cake was wrong! It was supposed to be a white frosting on a chocolate cake and the frosting was dark chocolate! I brought it back to the chef, who scraped it all off the cake, then tried to remake it, but it was too hot (it was a heated frosting recipe) and it kept melting off the cake…disaster. I really, really hope she laughs about it now, but I felt so, so terrible at the time. Don’t worry, anything that goes wrong will be fine, and I know you’ll do your best!
Mmm I love lunches that are full of tons of components!
Gotta LOVE cauliflower and dip-y lunches..
Have a wonderful day, Meghann!
I forgot to turn on the air conditioning early at an indoor summer event. It was DISGUSTING in the hall.
I’ve sent rejection letters to people who have been accepted (though thankfully not acceptances to rejected people!) and I’ve also booked airport taxis on the wrong days (caught it on time, thank goodness, but sheesh….) So much goes on at the last minute, there’
