Authentic Italian Restaurant in London Wins More Awards
The popular Italian restaurant in Putney, South West London, Enoteca Turi has
grabbed two prestigious awards this year and is fast being recognised as one of the
best Italian restaurants in London and a great place to sample fine Italian wines.

Lvybridge, Devon, UK May 28, 2009 -- The creation and passion of Giuseppe Turi.

Enoteca Turi the restaurant offers an exquisite and authentic Italian dining
experience and this has been highlighted by the recent acquisition of both the
Drinking Out Excellence Awards voting it 2009 Italian Wine Restaurant of the year
and Hardens London Restaurant Guide proclaiming it the best Italian restaurant in
London this year, the latter describing the food as "bursting with flavour.
" These
latest awards can be added to to the list of previous Italian food and wine
recognitions by the ITV restaurant award (twice), Zagat best Italian restaurant in
London award and the Harpers Magazine award for best wine list, all received in
previous years.

Much emphasis is placed on the relationship between food and wine and Giuseppe is a
respected authority on Italian wine and this shows in his selection and the ability
of the waiting staff to suggest the right tipple.
Giuseppe has extensively
researched and written about Italian food and wine and his knowledge certainly
shows in the end product.
There is a great deal of skill and experience in the
kitchen and even the cooking methods and many of the implements are of traditional
Italian origin which isn t something most Italian restaurants in London can boast.

Much of the food on the menu will not have been experienced by the casual lover of
Italian food before Giuseppe explains "Pizza and pasta, those indisputably
delicious yet ubiquitous staples of any Italian menu, have only appeared as part of
the country?s cuisine as recently as in the past 100 years ? adopted as a ?fast
food? by increasingly busy Italian families.
" There is so much more to Italian food
than what most of us have already experienced and this is one of the key traits
that both customers and critics alike are discovering and enjoying at Enoteca Turi
and why many are touting it as one of the best as Italian restaurants in London.

Lasagne, Spag Bol and the like really don?t represent traditional Italian cooking
which is heavily dependent of the seasonality?s and regions of Italy.

The restaurant holds regular Italian food, wine and culture events.

cuisine please visit http://www.

ukADDRESS
Who Tells You Who You Are?
FROM THE MINISTER
QUESTION: What is
the difference between an
investment banker and a
pigeon? Answer - ‘a pigeon
can still put a deposit on a
BMW’.
Whatisthedefinition
of an optimist? ‘A banker
who irons five shirts at the
weekend’.

So a gallows humour takes
over when things get out of
hand.
Andthoughwemaynot
understand the complexities
of global finance, we do have
a sense that something has
gone seriously wrong.
Mindboggling sums of money
have been wiped off stock
exchanges, banks have been
forcibly merged to stop them
sinking, and others have
been bailed out - effectively
nationalised - not just in
Britain but in the seat of
private enterprise, the USA.

Billions upon billions of
taxpayers’ money have been
spent to prop up a faltering
system.
Who would have
believed it?
Ficitious Wealth
Rowan Williams, the
Archbishop of Canterbury,
made this comment about
why the credit crunch
happened:
“Unimaginable wealth has
been generated by equally
unimaginablelevelsoffiction,
paper transactions with no
concrete outcome beyond the
profits for traders.
”
Ithasbeendescribedas‘casino
capitalism’ - hundreds of
thousands of traders playing
the market on their computer
screens, effectively betting
on small changes in exchange
rates between currencies, on
the fortunes of companies or
packaging debt and selling it
on.
And this happens every
day in the borderless world of
cyberspace.

You Are Mine
While these global events
were taking place, in one
little corner of the world our
first grandchild was born.

We went to see him on the
day of his birth, and holding
him brought a sense of
overwhelming wonder.
That
night I couldn’t sleep, so I got
up and wrote the first sermon
I would ever preach as a
grandfather.
I thought about
names and those famous
words of Isaiah: “Fear not,
for I have redeemed you; I
have called you by name;
you are mine.
” It’s a powerful
statement about the unique
value of every life, known,
named and loved by God.

“You are mine.
” So - who
tells you who you are?
Some people need money to
tell them who they are.
So
they generate extraordinary
wealth, based on fictions and
paper transactions with no
concrete outcome apart from
the profit they produced at
the end.

Some people need power to
tell them who they are.
But
that means they will face
the temptation to use power
irresponsibly, and abuse the
trust placed in them, for the
sake of gain.

Some people need their
possessions to tell them who
they are.
They think that
having more means being
more.
But limitless growth,
limitless spending, limitless
debt has brought the whole
economy to the very brink of
collapse.

Some people just let the
world tell them who they are.

Conformity claims many
people.
They get along by
simply going along.
If they’re
not lemmings, they’re close
to it.

A Good Question
So it’s a good question, isn’t
it? Who tells you who you
are? “I have called you by
name; you are mine.
” What
doesthatmean? Amongother
things, it means you never
have to prove yourself.
Love
is poured out universally,
equally on everybody on
the planet, from the Pope
to the lowest pauper.
And
furthermore, love doesn’t
seek value, it creates it.
It’s
not because we have value
that we are loved; it’s
because we love that we have
value.
Our value is a gift, not
an achievement.
So you don’t
have to prove yourself, ever.

That’s taken care of.

“Some people need money to tell them who they
are.
So they generate extraordinary wealth,
based on fictions and paper transactions”

Old Bexley village and I
guarantee you will not finish
your meal without the
background wail of police cars.

Crime is now so bad in Bexley village that
the traders have produced a petition to have
CCTV in the High Street and Bourne Road.

The petition has the backing of local MP
Derek Conway and Old Bexley & Sidcup
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate
Duncan Borrowman who told the Chronicle
“As a daily user of the village I have listened to
many traders complain about the constant
break-ins and vandalism to their businesses.

They have not surprisingly finally decided
‘enough is enough’ and have joined together to
launch a petition for the village to be covered
by CCTV, I fully support them in this.
Small
hard working businesses don’t need to be
spending every morning worrying if
their premises are going to be broken into or
vandalised, nor do they need to be paying rising
insurance premiums in the present financial
climate”.

The Petition is being co-ordinated by
Graham at Pilkington’s jewellers - 01322
521664.

BEXLEY VILLAGE
TRADERS FED UP!
France comes to
Sidcup
The piazza opposite Sidcup police station will be
transformed into a French style boulevard
between 10am - 4pm on Thursday the 11th
December when Brunomart’s French &
Continental market visits the town.

The market offers the diversity and speciality
of traditional French & Continental products,
including an excellent selection of cheeses,
olives, charcuterie, bread and patisserie.
Other
delicious products include Soupe de poisson and
confit de canard and for the sweeter tooth there
are crepes with gorgeous toppings such as Grand
Marnier or chocolate.
Also on sale are
household wares such as French African Crafts,
earthenware, Leather Goods, hand woven
baskets, lovely costume jewellery and much
more.

It should be a great day out so come along and
soak up the convivial Christmas atmosphere and
even practice your French with the friendly
stallholders.

Bunyakiat Raksaphaeng 700330799
Summary: Chapter 11 Journalists Reporting from Foreign Places
Foreign news in USA has become more important in the current situation.
Because of the
extension of USA power, the foreign news coverage in USA can affect the governance of other
countries.
As the result, many countries are interested in how to control news reporting in USA.

A scholar noted that journalists create “a window on the world.
” Journalists create the reality
of the far away world for the local audiences, who are unable to check the validity of the
information because of their lack of direct experience.

Distance and Double Misreading
Because journalists are foreigner in other countries, so they lack of first hand experience and
the deep understanding of the events or situations in other countries.
Foreign stories can be double
misread by both journalists and news consumers.

There are five reasons for foreign news misreading by journalists.
First, journalists can
misread the situations from other countries because their prejudice which has roots in his
organization culture, agenda-setting role, little understanding of the events, and the limitation of
the media to portray the stories from a place far away.
Second, it is inevitable for journalists to use
their personal biases in foreign news reporting.
Third, in order to present the stories from the
unfamiliar countries to the audiences, the journalists need to simplify those complicated stories to
be easier to understand.
Journalists not only simplify the stories but also add the visual dramatics
and sensations in order to appeal audiences.
This practice can distort the fact of the news stories.

Fourth, journalists usually employ the binary opposition when they describe the stories from
foreign context.
The journalists portray the different sides that involve in the stories as “good guy”
and “bad guy.
” However, the actual stories have more histories and details.
Sometime, the
involved people in a story cannot be judged to be right or wrong, or villain or victim.
The fifth
reason is about the source of the news.
When journalists are sent foreign countries, they contact
people who are available or who they are comfortable to work with.
Those people may be only a
group of those who relate to the story.
Thus, the journalists can get only a side of the story.

"Walshy Killa Culture 2009 Mix – Presented by Black Chiney Soundsytem and The
FADER
First, i m so excited by my new jamaica s discovery that i barely know where to
begin.
I m not used to be a big fan of reaggae,(exceptfrom Bob Marley).
Dont get me
wrong !
The main reason was it always seemed to me that it was the same music style,
same kind of voice.
Thanks t God internet has been created, and i m so thrilled to
have spotted on Fader.
com a new joint called " Wilsha Culture 2009".
In the second
track « Turn me on » John legend & Estelle made an ode to reagge music, a vibing
duet adding a smooth tone to reagge music’s riddims, immediatly John grow in your
esteem by fully demonstrating that he can still be a great aartist if tomorrow he
starts doing reaggae music.
Not so much type of his soul flava around anymore since
the music inudstry priviledged marketing over talent.

« Who cares about talent ? » they would told you at 3 AM after a couple of drinks in a
breathtaking star’s album realease party.
Wilsha culture 2009 is a good as a whole
but as always there’s some « repeat » tracks :
2* 6 * 15* 16* 18 ** 22*.
It recalls me how it s "so good" to be a culture junkie
always thirsty for juicy news, sounds, artists (or those who dont know me , im the
kind of guy whom could fell in love with a paint , house , music or anything else that
tittillate my culture mantra).

2 Essential Oils to Stop Excessive Hand Sweating
Excessive hand sweating can be extremely debilitating socially.
I remember going on job
interviews and looking up at the potential employer after that first sloppy, wet handshake,
thinking, “This interview is already over.
”
The problem is hard to understand for people who don’t personally suffer from it.
They think
you’re always nervous or even place judgments on your hygiene.
There’s no doubt, it’s a cruel
world out there if you’ve got sweaty hands.

More than likely you suffer from some degree of palmer hyperhidrosis – a condition where
hyperactivity in your Sympathetic Nervous System causes sweat glands to fire off perspiration
in continuous bursts, no matter what temperature you’re exposed to.

Here you’ll be learning about two very powerful, natural oils that will condition your hands to
stay dry for very long amounts of time using gentle astringent properties.
Let’s get your
excessive hand sweating under control, shall we?
Geranium Oil
Geranium Oil is extracted from the plant called pelargonium odorantissimum, which belongs to the
Geraniaceae family.
You can buy it at most health food stores in liquid form.
Simply apply a thin layer
to your palms and let it air dry.
As the oil soaks into your pores, it will immediately go to work, drying
your skin and giving your hands a pleasant, fresh smell.

Cypress Oil
Calming and cooling, this oil from the Mediterranean cypress tree is valued for its refreshing and
astringent effects.
The essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves, twigs and cones of the evergreen
tree.
You’ll feel the effects instantaneously as perspiration quickly evaporates from your palms AND you
feel more relaxed overall.
That’s because Cypress Oil has a direct effect on your nervous system.
It
stimulates calm, serene emotions.
The alcohol (10%) in Cypress oil contributes to its drying effect as
well.

Try these to solutions out and see if they stop your hand sweating as effectively as they did mine.

Also, this is just the beginning.
To learn my top 12 sweat stopping treatments, you NEED to check out
the FREE video I’ve created on my website http://www.
Prevent-Sweating.
com .
The video is called
“Sweat Free Tactics” and it contains over 30 minutes of step by step instruction on how to stop sweating
profusely from your hands, feet, underarms AND face.
End this problem today! Visit the site right now,
watch the video and start feeling results in just minutes!   [Less]

Smart feeling in a hand
The modern and sophisticated design of HMX-R10 received spotlight in various
exhibitions including ‘CES 09’ and ‘PMA 09‘.
The clock has begun to tick down on
the launch of the much-awaited R10.
Before the grand debut, however, a final
refinement made to its design.
R10 showcased at various exhibitions had a black
jack terminal cover.
The cover has been changed to gray for a more consistent feel
with the silver body.
The final design for R10 consists of a silver body, external
buttons and gray jack terminal cover, creating a harmony of colors and making for a
more sophisticated design.
An upgraded version of R10! Coming to you soon!   [Less]

Beloved Reverend Clergy of our Holy
Metropolis, Honored Members of the
Metropolis Council, Tireless Women of
our Metropolis Philoptochos Council,
Esteemed Lay Representatives of our
Parish Councils, Distinguished
Delegates of the Sisterhood of the
Philoptochos, Beloved Brothers and
Sister, Family in Christ, all:
I greet you with all paternal love and
every arch-pastoral blessing on this
I greet you with all paternal love and
every archpastoral blessing on this
occasion of the convocation of the
biennial Clergy-Laity Assembly and
Philoptochos Conference of the GodSaved Metropolis of Detroit.
Though
geographically we may be spread
across the territory of seven states -from western New York, through
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Arkansas, in spite of
the physical separation we are always,
according to scripture, spiritually
“altogether in one place” (cf.
Acts 1:15,
2:1, 44, 47; 1 Cor.
11:20).

What great joy there is when the
family of God gathers on these
occasions, having conquered the
visible signs of separation, giving Him
thanks and glory for every blessing.

Here and now, our Metropolis
expresses its visible fullness through
the unified presence of our ordained
Clergy and our faithful Laity together
with its Chief
Shepherd.
We
proclaim our
joy and our
gratefulness
that God has
again gathered
us here, so that
we might share
the gladness of
common fellowship, so that working
together for the glory of His Kingdom
we might proclaim the saving message
of His Gospel to all people.

Just as God brought us from slavery to

A year ago Bexley Council
secured over £1m from
Transport for London under
the Local Implementation Plan
Funding to invest in Belvedere
Village but the residents and
businesses voted against the
scheme presented by the
Blackfen & Lamorbey
councillor Peter Craske.

The consultation on the final plans closed on
30 September and the Council state results
from showed 106 people voting for no
improvements and 95 people were in favour.
A
petition with more than 500 signatures on it,
stating people did not want change, was also
taken into consideration.

Craske said: “This scheme would have
represented the first major investment in the
Village for decades and the plans were intended
to improve the area to secure its long term
future as an important local business centre.

Throughout the project we’ve listened to
local people, including organising a public
meeting for people to come along and have
their say, and amended the plans to take their
views into account.

When people opposed making Albert Road
into two-way traffic, or opening access through
the car park from Albany Road to the Village,
or a new footway in Streamway, we dropped
these elements completely.

When people said that too many parking
spaces would be lost, we put the spaces back.

In our final plans we proposed replacing the
street lights with brand new and much better
ones, additional CCTV cameras, resurfacing
the roads and pavements to a far higher
standard, planting new trees and introducing a
new zebra crossing.

To do this we would have needed to remove
just two parking spaces, solely to accommodate
the zebra crossing requested by traders in the
Village.
If there had been no request for the
crossing, then the number of parking spaces
would have remained exactly as it is now.

The people of the area have spoken and I
hope they will welcome my decision.

Having scrapped the plans for improvement
the Council does not plan to make any further
proposals for the Village.
I will be talking to
TfL to see if the funds can be used on any other
scheme in the borough.

While she may not have walked
away with the Miss USA crown,
Miss California Carrie Prejean
captured the national spotlight with
her answer to a judge’s question
about same-sex marriage.
As most
everyone has learned by now,
Prejean found herself at the center
of the homosexual “marriage”
controversy after being named
runner-up in the national Miss
USA contest in April.

What is NOT commonly known
is the story behind the story, how
God was working behind the
scenes.
The details of this
tale were told when, a week
after the pageant, Prejean
appeared at the Rock Church
in San Diego during Sunday
services.
She is a member of
the Rock family and actively
serves in church outreach
ministries.
The service,
which was streamed live
on the internet, featured a
discussion between Prejean
and the Rock’s Pastor Miles
McPherson, who spent
time with Prejean in the
critical hours following the
pageant.

Prejean (pray-ZHAWN’)
recounted how, as one of the
final five contestants, she
drewaquestionfromopenlygay judge Perez Hilton,
who asked if she believed
other states should follow
Vermont’s lead in legalizing
same-sex marriage.

Prejean related how she
knew at that moment that an honest
answer would cost her the crown.

But she decided to speak from her
heart.

“We live in a land where you
can choose same-sex marriage or
opposite,” Prejean responded then.

“And you know what, I think in my
country, in my family, I think that
I believe that a marriage should be
between a man and a woman.
No
offense to anybody out there, but
that’s how I was raised.
”
Homosexual activists
immediately unleashed vicious
attacks against Prejean – among
them Hilton himself, who in a
video rant on his website called
her several vulgar names.
The
Hollywood blogger also said he
would have gone up on stage and
snatched the tiara from her head if
she had won Miss USA .

Prejeanrelatedhow,immediately
after the pageant, she was told to
get on a plane to
New York for interviews.
On
the plane by herself, she began to
feel very alone and worried about
the upcoming interviews with the
New York media.
She was longing
and praying for someone to help
prepare and pray with her.

Now it seems that, what with
the Rock being San Diego ’s
largest church, Prejean had never
previously met McPherson in
person.
But at that very moment,
on another plane bound for a
conference in NewYork was Pastor
McPherson!
McPherson had just gotten
word from his church that Miss
California was also en route to
New York and needed help.
So he
called her cell number, found the
voice mailbox full, and then sent
a text message.
Prejean opened the
message and read, “This is Miles
McPherson from the Rock.
I’ll be
in New York tonight.
I’m trying to
reach you, but your voice mailbox
is full.
Call me, girl.
I’m proud of
you.
”
“I immediately fell to my knees
andsaid‘Thankyou,God’”Prejean
remarked.
McPherson later helped
prepare her for the interviews and
went to every one of them with
her.

In his remarks at the Sunday
service,McPhersonlikenedPrejean
to Esther in the Bible – saying she
was placed in this spot “for such
a time as this.
” Esther accepted
her calling and said “If I perish, I
perish.
” Prejean did much the same
thing.
McPherson also gave advice
for others in similar predicaments:
1.
Stare down courage.
Don’t
worry about being politically
correct.
Say what you’ve got to
say.

2.
Trust in the truth and
not a lie.
If the Bible is
your truth, don’t back
down from it.

3.
Accept God’s
sovereign provision.
God
will provide who and
what you need, when you
need it.

4.
Never fear man over
God.
Choose God, not
the world, and step out in
faith.

5.
Die to self.
Do things
God’s way.
God will
honor you, and provide
new opportunities.

“Our culture is going
away from biblical
truth,” McPherson said.

“But that does not nullify
the truth of the Bible.

If you believe, don’t be
intimidated.
Be bold,
stand up for Christ,
and thank Him for the
opportunity.
Ask what
God wants you to do, and then do
it in love and humility.
”
In subsequent appearances,
Prejean has stood fast in her morals
and biblical truths, refusing to
compromise her faith.
She says she
has no regrets, and in fact feels like
she won, stating she has been able
to use the controversy as a platform
to share her Christian faith.

“I feel like I’m the winner.
I
really do,” she said.
“I wouldn’t
change a thing.
I stated an opinion
that was true to myself, and that’s
all I can do.
Now I know that I
have a purpose, and I can go out
and speak to young people about
standing up for what you believe
in.
”
America apparently agrees.
In a
poll conducted by OneNewsNow,
only0.
28ofonepercentfeltPrejean
should have given a “politically
correct” answer.

On the other hand, Keith Lewis,
who runs the Miss California
competition, said that he was
“saddened” and “hurt” over Miss
California‘s comments at the
pageant, and the Miss California
co-director Shanna Moakler,
a former Miss USA, issued an
apology to state pageant sponsors,
saying “Prejean’s opinions do
not stand for those of the Miss
California family.
”
How has Prejean reacted to
Hilton’s verbal attacks, and his
defacing of her photo in the hotel
lobby?
“You know, I forgive him,” she
said.
“I know that he’s angry for
whatever reason.
I know there
must be a bigger issue going on in
his life.
”
“From the moment she opened
her mouth, Prejean has given
liberals a clinic in class,” said Matt
Barber of Liberty Counsel.
“Hilton,
on the other hand, has provided the
world a sneak peek into the soul of
homosexual activism.
”
Wayne Besen, a leader in the
homosexual activist community,
went on Fox News to try and defend
Hilton.
He charged that it was not
Hilton, but Prejean’s recognition
of biblical marriage that “was
divisive.
” Besen then went on to tag
the 70 percent of Americans who
oppose homosexual “marriage” as
“bigots.
”
PhillipCosby,ExecutiveDirector
of the National Coalition for the
Protection of Children & Families
in Kansas City, commented on the
firestorm.

“As the same-sex controversy
rages nationally we are seeing some
local pastors state their position.

Some get it wrong, some get it
right.
But sexual integrity – it’s
not optional.
In these days we need
clarity from pulpits, and courage,”
Cosby stated.
“Miss California got
it right.
”
The 21-year-old Prejean, a junior
at San Diego Christian College,
is studying to become a special
education teacher and is a volunteer
for Special Olympics and Best
Buddies, a nonprofit program that
helps the disabled gain friendships.

She is also involved with a ministry
towomenintheadultentertainment
industry, works with children in
foster care, promotes self-esteem
issues in girls and women, helps
refugees learn English, and is an
advocate for breast and ovarian
cancer research.

Air cadet Alana Copeland (16),(Douglas Rd,
Welling) (St Paul’s Academy, Greenwich) of 358
Welling Squadron Air Training Corps has been
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Woolwich, to
undertake an overseas expedition to South Africa.

The two week expedition will involve trekking
through the Kruger National Park,
visiting the notorious Robyn Island where
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, and a social
project in the townships.
Each cadet has been
responsible for fund raising their part of the
costs, and Alana has already undertaken bag
packing with a supermarket and a sponsored
Three Peak challenge, climbing
the highest mountains in Scotland, England and
Wales within 24 hours.
However, the credit
crunch and increasing fuel costs, have kept the
costs increasing week on week.

The Rotary Club of Woolwich came to her aid,
by sponsoring her £1,000 from their Inverliever
fund.
Inverliever Lodge was a residential centre
for the youth of Greenwich, and many residents
will have fond memories of happy holidays
and school trips to the lodge.
The lodge has since
been sold, and the proceeds held in trust.
The
trust produces a small income per year and these
funds are been used to provide residential
experiences for the youth of Greenwich and the
Greenwich Schools.

Club president Tony Maun says “What she is
trying to achieve is fantastic.
We would welcome
new applications from groups or individuals who
wish to access the fund, and those interested in
joining Rotary International”.

over her 15 year-old victim and set her alight in

The victim suffered serious burns and had to
be taken to a specialist burns unit by air

Greenwich’s child
poverty shame
While Greenwich councillors and staff earn
generous salaries, many reaching six figures,
55% of the children living in Greenwich are
living in or on the brink of poverty - and not a
single ward escapes destitution.
To coincide
with the release of these figures End Child
Poverty today launched 4 in 10: The End
Child Poverty London Project.
The two-year
London project aims to tackle the specific
challenges that Greenwich and London face in
ending child poverty.

Hilary Fisher, Director End Child Poverty,
said: “It is ironic that London is the economic
powerhouse of the UK and provides 20% of
the UK’s GDP yet it is failing to provide for
the hundreds of thousands of children growing
up within its limits.

“Poverty blights children’s lives.
In the sixth
richest city in the world it is shameful that this
is allowed to continue.
