I also got to < strikeout > fail at play with the snare drums when we visited after school band practice . Just like old times , just without the flute . The Picture of Dorian Gray is getting finished one chapter at a time , but I ' m still loving it . Poor Dorian , how can he be so twisted yet innocent at the same time?Oh , and I went shopping today .

But I always knew when Doug was playing the tympani behind me because it was flawless . I have a memory of Doug playing the rudiments on the snare drum for a music class test . The younger drummers could only wonder at his humble performance as I watched from across the room , mesmerized .

The intention of the proposed amendment is for the exemption to apply to all the new resident 's overseas affairs for the extended 10 year period , without the limitation of the exemption only applying to pre - owned assets . Unfortunately the proposals seem to contain many gaps , as it appears that overseas pensions and retirement plans , overseas trusts and national insurance issues have not been addressed in the proposed new law . In addition , the situation where a new immigrant earns income from overseas , but performs the services in Israel , will not benefit from these new proposals . I fear that this might encourage many breadwinners to leave their families behind in Israel , while they continue their old jobs and business 's in their home country , and could cause social problems with the families left behind .

In her latest dispatch from Africa , Christelle Randall brings the first part of her wildlife escapade to an end with a moving tale of parting : participants in the project , naturally , but also a cheetah and one or more of her cubs . And for those poor American colleagues at my newspaper in Abu Dhabi for whom my formal ban of trivial use of the word " awesome " has been so painful to bear , this ought to be a most heartwarming posting .... The second part of my South African wildlife expedition is over .

What may be the reason for their trip to South Africa ?
