So, do you think the "deer head hat" will catch on? Do you? What about the stirrup tights? We know we’ve talked about these before, but Benjamin Cho (who designed both of these outfits) hasn’t been the only designer to use them this Fashion Week, and we’re getting worried. What about the see through top? Surely you’ll go for the see-through top? I mean, it has jigsaw pieces on it to hide your modesty with. JIGSAW PIECES, people. What’s not to love about that? Anyone?

The New Mexico International Auto Show, produced by Motor Trend Auto Shows, is an annual showcase of hundreds of new-model cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs.
Since 1999, e design has been working with PR firm Ciccarelli and Associates to create exciting and eye-catching designs for the New Mexico International Auto Show.
Despite a deep recession, the promotional materials that we created for the New Mexico International Auto Show resulted in record attendance for the event.
We have also done work for the San Jose International Auto Show and the Albuquerque Auto Show.

The most vital room in a house is the kitchen and therefore there is need to ensure that it is properly maintained.A lot of buyers look at the kitchen first before looking at the rest of the house and it is therefore important to ensure that your kitchen is properly maintained when selling your house. Getting your kitchen remodeled will ensure that you sell your house at a much higher price.It is not expensive to remodel your kitchen. A lot of channels have their own cooking shows and remodeling your kitchen will enable you to follow what is taught on these shows. Follow the following tips when remodeling your kitchen.
If you want to wholly remodel your kitchen, getting assistance from a professional is advisable.Hiring a designer will allow you to save money that you would have wasted trying out new designs on your own. It is important that you pick out all the items you require for your renovation before the process starts. This will ensure that you do not spend more money than required and that your kitchen is ready for use sooner rather than later.
If you want to add a kitchen island, try it out first before settling on it. Nobody wants a kitchen with limited space and trying out an island before committing ensures that you are able to see whether the space left is enough for movement in your kitchen.If you see that you are able to move around your kitchen with ease and can easily open your stove and refrigerator doors, then purchasing a centre island is a good idea since you get to have more storage space as well as counter space. You should not purchase a centre island if your try out model leaves you with limited space in your kitchen.
You can use some of your old materials during remodeling. It is important to note that you can go on using your old cabinets if they are still in good shape. All you need is to wash them and paint them afresh. Having your old cabinets painted white will go a long way in ensuring your whole kitchen looks new.You can choose to get your old cabinets new doors if you think they are too old rather than taking down the whole structure.
Ensure that your kitchen is adequately lit. While ensuring that the whole kitchen is lit, pay closer attention to the cooking area since this is the most important part of the kitchen.Make sure that your new kitchen model does not affect the piping of your house. You can however have a new stylish kitchen sink installed. You can hold your family gatherings in the kitchen and you should therefore ensure that your kitchen is classy.

According to MayoClinic.com, drinking fruit and vegetable juices is no healthier than eating the fresh fruits and veggies, whole. However, if you rarely eat fresh produce but enjoy juices, using a juicer may help encourage you to include these healthy options in your daily diet. If you reduce your overall caloric intake so that it is less than your caloric expenditure, you will start losing weight.
If you're looking to lose weight by juicing, remember that the success of your weight-loss plan doesn't depend on the specific recipes you select, but on the calories you consume and expend. If you're already following a low-calorie diet, changing from whole produce to fruit and vegetable juices may have little net effect on your weight loss. However, if you replace your typical high-calorie snacks with low-calorie juices, you may well bring your total caloric intake down. Balance your diet with plenty of regular exercise, so that you're burning off more than you consume. MayoClinic.com generally recommends aiming for no more than 1 or 2 pounds of weight loss per week. One pound of fat is equivalent to about 3,500 calories.
If you prefer familiar foods, start juicing with simple fruit-and-vegetable combinations like carrot-apple juice. A recipe from the Stanford University Cancer Institute recommends three to four carrots and one apple. Tart apple varieties, such as Granny Smith, balance the sweetness of the carrots. Opt for firm apples to produce a clearer juice. According to Stanford University, 10 oz. of the carrot-apple juice provides 4 grams of protein, 49 grams of carbs and 200 calories. Experiment with other two-fruit combinations as you test out your favorite pairings, or add flavor to a single-fruit juice with a small amount of fresh ginger root.
For a green smoothie that's bursting with calcium, iron and potassium, blend spinach leaves, cucumber and celery. The mild flavor of celery lets cucumber and spinach take the main stage. One 10-oz. drink has 139 calories, 35 grams of carbs and 1 gram of protein. For a more tropical flavor, blend a quarter of a pineapple with 1 cup of blueberries and a 1/4- to 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger. You'll get antioxidants from the blueberries, and digestive relief from the ginger. According to Stanford University, a 12-oz. drink has 16 grams of carbs and 7 grams of protein.
Once you've mastered a repertoire of a few basics, mix and match fruits and vegetables according to your personal tastes. For maximum weight loss, use foods with a higher energy density, such as avocados, less frequently. However, in general, fruits and vegetables are low-calorie and low-fat alternatives to many meat, dairy or even carbohydrate options. For variation, serve juice over crushed ice, or make sweet-and-tart combinations, like pear and pink grapefruit.

Our research into the role of emergence in complex social change is finished . . . sort of. In fact, it’s really just a step on a longer journey that we talk about in our cover letter for the report (p. 4), which you can now download from our website: www.4QPartners.com.
When Steve Jobs and his team were working on their new project, the Macintosh, he would motivate his team by reminding them that “the journey is the reward.” From my conversations with people who were working at Apple at the time, the phrase took on almost mystical importance. The team applied it to everything associated with the project — the computer’s design and the way it was to be marketed, but also to how they thought about every aspect of their own work as a team. This simple idea created a coherence around the project that left space for members of the team to exercise their creativity about how to approach their work. And while today we might see the original Mac as horribly antiquated, this small computer with a graphical interface that said “hello” when you turned it on did, in fact, start a revolution in the way we work today.
One of the things we learned in our own research into the role of emergence in complex social change is that, for those initiative teams that were creating emergent results, what they were doing was not revolutionary. They used networks, data platforms, participatory meeting methodologies, and participatory evaluations. What they did that seemed to support emergence was to apply what they were thinking about and learning from their initiatives to their own work in a way that amplified their results. It unleashed agency and creativity in a way that an initiative that had been pre-designed and rolled out by some external set of funders and experts could not have mustered.
It is in this spirit that we started our research report with the statement that we have been on a long journey. Many readers of this blog will understand when we say that we essentially conducted a two-year-long Emergent Learning Table, populated with seven case studies that we continually compared and contrasted as new questions arose. As much as possible, during the project, we applied what we were learning to the opportunities of our own client work, our certification program on Emergent Learning, and to how we operate ourselves as a partnership. We just intuitively believed that we would learn more and produce better research if we were trying these ideas out ourselves along the path.
The research led us to focus in particular on how we use our own learning log and weekly learning calls — creating the space to discover and explore patterns across the research and our own work. Sometimes we would start with a research question but, just as often, we just dove in to discover what struck us. “Have we seen this somewhere else? What do we think about it?” These conversations would lead us to ask a different question or try something out we hadn’t thought of before. The next week we’d bring back what we discovered. We found ourselves asking new questions, experimenting more and returning learning to the system as much as possible. This is changing the questions that our clients and our community are asking as well, and we are keenly aware now that the better we get at doing this ourselves, the more quickly we will amplify learning across our own ecosystem.
Our research report represents where we are today on our journey. We invite your comments, questions, critiques, ideas. We also invite you to share other stories that you think might represent emergence in complex social change. As we say in the report, there is much more to learn . . . always.

The symbiotic relationship that exists between the dental industry, dentists and allied oral healthcare professionals is best supported by a regulatory framework that supports professionals and their suppliers. Where standards exist that govern the work of dentists and allied oral healthcare professionals, these should reflect the statutory limitations associated with the supply and use of dental products.
Government-mandated practice guidelines for healthcare professionals that are consistent with, and complement, the regulatory standards for the supply of dental products.
aaregulatory standards for therapeutic products.
The direct outcome for ADIA member businesses are increased profitability, business growth and job creation as a result of being able to make available to professionals a greater range of dental products as a result of mutually supportive regulatory standards for suppliers and professionals.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called 20 Interview Questions for Veterinary Technologists and is located at https://www.interviewstrategies.com/interview-questions-for-veterinary-technologists/.
Planning for an upcoming interview and need a list of veterinary technician interview questions?
The last 20 years have seen the field become more recognized and utilized by veterinarians and more recognizable by the general public.
As the visibility has increased, so have the job opportunities, which are expected to continue to increase over the next ten-year period.
Although each state regulates the practice of veterinary technology differently, most candidates must pass the Veterinary Technician National Examination.
The American Association for Laboratory Animal Science also offers a certification which although not required for entry into the field, can demonstrate a higher level of competency to employers.
Candidates for veterinary technology positions should be able to demonstrate skill in working with both animals and people.
Many veterinary practices will require candidates to have both a question and answer interview, and a working interview. A working interview is a good gauge of a candidate’s ability to adapt to working with a team in a hectic work environment.
The working interview could consist of anything from restocking supplies, assisting with animal care, or helping with clerical and administrative duties.
How do you feel about being asked to perform duties that aren’t listed in your job description during hectic times?
Are you okay with cleaning up after animals?
What was the most helpful performance feedback you received during your training?
What is your opinion about mandatory spay/neuter laws?
What would you say to a client who came in to request her healthy pet be euthanized because she was unable to afford to take care of it?
If the office was understaffed and we asked you to come in on your day off, would you come in?
What is the biggest mistake you have made? What did you learn from it?
What kind of pets do you own/have you owned?
Are you interested in a particular specialty?
What do you imagine will be the most difficult part of this job if we hire you?
What would you do if a client was unable to afford to pay for services?
What would you do if you saw a fellow technologist make a mistake?
What appeals to you most about being a vet tech?
What would you do if you felt an animal you were treating had been abused?
What is the difference between animal rights and animal welfare?
Are you certified vet tech?

Single Young Lady seeks companionship. Ideal partner would have multiple kids to play with in a large yard with balls to catch & grass to roll around on. It would also include lots of fun and laughter and of course a soft comfy spot to lay my head on – not adverse to that being your lap mind you.
I enjoy long walks (on the beach is optional) with humans, kibble for breakfast and treats of just about any flavor (except for chocolate – it can make me very sick), it won’t be long before I’m eating out of your hand. On hot days, I enjoy lounging in the pool and napping under the trees. Cooler days make me want to snuggle up tight as my fur coat is short and your bed is so much warmer.
I’m a healthy, energetic girl with a happy, goofy side and I get along with just about everyone – there won’t be any in-law issues with me. Let’s just say that I’m full of big love and big fun. I’m also full of intelligence, my new home would have an owner who could teach me all about Please and Thank You and train me to entertain on command – what games we will play!
I’m a real catch; pretty, smart, athletic and loving – what more could you ask in a partner?

A Certified Death Certificate is necessary before anything can be done. A death certificate can be obtained through a Funeral Director. It is a good idea to obtain multiple copies of a death certificate as most agencies require a certified certificate and not a photocopy. This is what the funeral director needs for the certificate.

Med GOM 1.0 is the product of a "joint" venture between Grass-O-Matic and CBD Crew. The goal was to produce a high-CBD auto-flowering medicinal marijuana strain and in that they have been successful.
All of the female plants from this strain will produce a minimum of 4% CBD (cannabidiol) and will be mature in just 60 - 65 days from germination. There is a natural variation in the production of cannabinoids with THC:CBD varying from 1:1 to 1:2 with the actual levels reaching a maximum of 10% THC and 15% CBD according to conditions and grower skill.
MED GOM 1.0 will grow in any environment and will seldom attain a height of more than 100 cm. tall. It produces compact buds which are sticky with THC-bearing resin exuding a perfume that is a mixture of citrus with notes of spices. Yield is only average at between 25 - 50 gr/plant but this is more than compensated for by the quality.
CBD is known to have anti-psychotomimetic effects helping with tachycardia, loss of memory / concentration as well as anxiety which can occur with high-THC / low-CBD cannabis.

"It's a good thing that trine is only a handful of hours in length because while it definitely is a clever take on the puzzle platform genre, there just isn't enough to really justify a full length game. The combat is frequently tedious, and the backgrounds often feel unpleasant to look at, being overly dark though quite lush. Get in, try out the clever ideas, and get out before you tire. And you will tire."
Trine is a game that doesn't try too hard. And for this, it is especially delightful. Its gameplay consists of varying parts of puzzling, platforming, and combat, and it supplies the user with three characters who can be switched between at will, somewhat like Lost Vikings. Woven together by a story clearly secondary to the game, trine is just the kind of casual distraction we need from all the over-complicated games we mostly get.
The first character is the thief, who is nimble, can grapple around, and fire arrows. As a platformer, she's obviously the best and will be your go-to character in traversing most such segments, particularly because her grapple can save you from many a slip and fall. She's also the most fun in combat, getting a delightful bow and arrow.
The second character is the wizard, who can make and move objects. He has almost no combat usefulness, and exists entirely for his clever ability to add platforms and grapple points to the map. Where the thief is adventurous and fun, using the wizard is always an anxious moment because of his inability to defend himself. Fortunately, most of the best puzzles involve clever uses of his platforms.
If the game were just the thief and the wizard, you probably wouldn't complain because the third character, the warrior, exists seemingly only because the game's creators wanted to complicate your platforming by sending waves and waves of skeleton warriors after you, and the warrior is quite effective in this role. Unfortunately, combat with the warrior is also fairly boring, and he has next to no use in the puzzling aspects.
It's a good thing that trine is only a handful of hours in length because while it definitely is a clever take on the puzzle platform genre, there just isn't enough to really justify a full length game. The combat is frequently tedious, and the backgrounds often feel unpleasant to look at, being overly dark though quite lush. Get in, try out the clever ideas, and get out before you tire. And you will tire.
This review is of the GOG.com version of last express from december 2011, and it reflects any bugs/bugfixes/optimizations/whatever associated with that version.

Last year was the rainiest on record, but D.C. Water announced that the Anacostia River Tunnel kept more than 4.5 billion gallons of sewage, and nearly 900 tons of trash and other solids, from going into the river.
Tunnel-boring machine “Chris” was lowered underground Thursday. The behemoth will spend the next two and a half years slowly chewing through more than 5 miles of earth underneath Northeast D.C. to make way for a sewer tunnel. See photos.
Alexandria’s expensive upgrades to sewage systems that pour untreated waste into the Potomac River dozens of times a year are moving forward, now that the state has approved work plans.
On Thursday, leaders christened a tunnel-boring machine that will dig a 5-mile path from RFK Stadium to R Street to help complete the Anacostia River Tunnel System.
The Anacostia River is closer to meeting goals for residents to swim and fish in it by 2025: For the first time ever, it’s getting a passing grade on its “State of the River” report card.
Environmentalists are praising the performance of the 7-mile-long, 23-foot-wide tunnel, which opened in March. It runs between RFK Stadium and the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant.
D.C. police charged a teenager as an adult with first-degree sexual abuse while armed in the case of a woman who was carjacked and raped at gunpoint earlier this month. The woman said she was forced to jump into the freezing cold Anacostia River.
According to a report from D.C. police, the victim was approached by the suspect while she was sitting in her car Tuesday night in Southeast on Buena Vista Terrace, near the D.C. border with Maryland.
The search resumed Friday for 8-year-old Relisha Rudd, who disappeared from the D.C. homeless shelter where she lived with her family almost four years ago.
Though the frozen Potomac and other icy local waterways make for a serene sight, those conditions are hazardous if there’s an emergency. Here’s how a D.C. fire crew breaks the ice.
For the volunteers who quickly spread out, climbing under and through brush and vines, and through sloppy, squishy mud, it didn’t take long to start filling their contractor-strength trash bags.
Recreation may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to the Anacostia River, but one local organization is working to change that perception.
The heavy rain that’s expected will likely bring a disgusting side effect — sewage flowing into the Potomac and Anacostia rivers. But new tunnels are being built to alleviate that.

Windows Hello was announced recently and is solely designed to say goodbye to the common password. Gone are the days where users remember strings of text and type them into a form on a computer, now its time for our fingers, eyes and face to be our form of authentication.
Windows Hello – biometric authentication which can provide instant access to your Windows 10 devices. With Windows Hello, you’ll be able to just show your face, or touch your finger, to new devices running Windows 10 and be immediately recognized. And not only is Windows Hello more convenient than typing a password—it’s more secure! Our system enables you to authenticate applications, enterprise content, and even certain online experiences without a password being stored on your device or in a network server at all.
Its important to bear in mind that technology like this isn’t new to Microsoft and many other companies have tried implementing fingerprint recognition and iris recognition into their products. The question is however if a company such as microsoft can sway the balance in their favor and move users away from the conventional password.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not finished blogging forever. This isn't the end of Emily is Smiling. However, for the time being, I need a break.
This is all a big ramble and definitely breaking the unspoken rule of "Never Blog About Blogging," but if you read my blog regularly at all, I hope you'll take a moment to read.
As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting as frequently on this blog in recent months, and when I have, they have not been as thoughtfully written or as in-depth as they were before. I have been blogging for 5 years now. The New Year is about to begin, and I thought I would outline a little about what my blogging priorities look like for the year 2015.
I love to write. I always have. One of the things that I love to write about the most is my faith in Jesus, because it is the most important thing in my life. It is the most significant piece of my identity and a huge part of who I am. Let me reassure any readers that even when my posts on this blog consist of pictures from Instagram or lists of books that I'm reading, it isn't because I'm wearying of my faith. It's because I'm wearying of blogging.
This is in part because the world's response to blogging is also changing. In the year 2014, online audiences have been moving largely out of the blogging sphere to share their thoughts in other places. Posting comments on blogs is practically a thing of the past, which means conversations between bloggers and readers are almost nonexistent now. This isn't only happening to me. Nearly every blog on the Internet has taken a hit in both readership and, especially, comments in the last year or two.
While view-count isn't the sole reason why anyone should blog, it does play a part. Since I began blogging 5 years ago, I've considered my blog as both a journal and a ministry, a way to reach out to people who are looking for encouragement as they walk with Jesus. With less people taking the time to read blogs or join in conversation, the time I put into writing thoughtful blog posts is affected. I desire to put my effort into forms of ministry where people are receiving and giving back, where community can be found.
Also, the amount of time I choose to put into blogging these days is changing, regardless of who is reading. I've found ministries that have impacted my heart more in this season, like Deaf ministry. I'm a busy college student. My grandma was in the hospital for almost the entire month of December, which focused my thoughts and intentions recently more on family than on the Internet.
A day may come in the future where I sit down and re-shape Emily is Smiling into what it was before. I treasure some of the blog posts I've written. This place is forever special to me. But for right now, most of my attention is straying to other places and other ministries.
I'm not ready to give up this blog completely yet, so don't think I'm never going to post again after January 1, but I will be posting less. Many of my intimate thoughts about faith and about Jesus are being journaled right now instead of blogged, and sometimes I may share them on here, but quite often, I won't. The things I've blogged about in seasons past are still heavy on my heart, and I'm still working hard to implant them in my life, but Emily is Smiling is not a big priority for me in this moment. There is a season for everything, and my season of frequent blogging may be coming to a close. At least for now.
I'm still happy to talk with anyone who reads this blog, and I'll be back now and then to share both silly and serious things. But here's an update of what's going on in my life right now. I hope this long tangle of words makes some kind of sense.
On December 15, 2007, I lost a friend to suicide. A few years later, I wrote this poem about the shock and grief one feels after losing a loved one this way.
you became ageless and i tried.
The reason I've intermingled a psalm from the Bible with these pictures is because as I remember this night from a few weeks ago, I feel so much joy and I am thankful for God's grace in allowing me to have a strong community and happy memories. The Lord given my heart this joy.
Psalm 100 is one of my favorite joyful psalms, so I thought I would share it along with a few of these happy photos.
Five years ago: Excerpt of "Because"
Five years ago today, I wrote my first blog post.
So much has changed in the last five years. Then, I was a junior in high school. Now, I am a senior at university and on the brink of stepping into adulthood.
For a throwback Tuesday reflection moment, here is a picture of me taken the same month I started this blog.
And a picture of me now.
How long have you been following this blog?
You can find this blog post on the Christian Relief Fund blog.
A young girl who lives in Kenya and is sponsored through Christian Relief Fund wrote a letter to her sponsor recently. Her story touched my heart and I hope it touches yours as well. Sponsorship has equipped Sharon to continue her education, have enough food to eat, and find hope for a brighter future.
Get more greetings from I, Sharon. I am glad to write you this letter just to say a word of thanks for your mercies and for what you have done for me. Surely I was going to sink in a hole and I would never come out.
My life since I was young was very bad and terrible. I have never lived with both my parents. I have never felt their parental care and love. I used to live with my maternal grandmother since 2006 when my life was extremely bad.
My father died in the year 2013. He started brewing illicit drugs when I was in first grade and my elder brother was in second grade. From there our life was going to be very worse. He used to take my mother's money from her business which she used to pay our school fees. From there he started abusing my mother in front of us. He lastly sent her out of her home. My mother had no other [place to go]. She left and went to my grandmother's home (her mother), where she stayed for two days and left to look otherwise for our needs.
My father lastly left us alone in the house and he never bothered us. He left us without anything. He had to go and borrow. In the year 2006, we had lived alone for three months. Whenever we went to our maternal grandmother's place, my aunt used to send us away from that home.
My grandmother came back and took us. She lived with us. My younger sister used to be calling my elder brother "mum."
Our grandmother continued to live with us and we continued with education. I had never stopped going to school, but my brother had stopped. He was taken back to second grade, where we continued to learn in the same class.
My brother is now in ninth grade and we thank God for remembering us. I thank God for His mercies and I also thank you, sponsor, for your mercies on me. May God of blessings bless you and give you a long life. Thank you very much.

There is something to treasure about living in community.
Let me rephrase that. Living in community isn't easy.
As a college student, I am daily making a home in a small space with girls who see my weaknesses and my sinful nature and my vulnerabilities and me seeing theirs all in turn.
I don't think I've ever begun a new month without lessons and wisdom gained from the weeks before.
More than anything, I appreciate the late-night talks about Jesus. Taking communion with cran-grape juice and rolls from Walmart. Teaching two of my roommates guitar and having "concert/worship" nights. Pulling pranks and making videos. The life-sized cardboard cutout of Elvis Presley we hide around the house to scare each other.
There are things about community that are hard and broken because of the sinful world in which we live... and there are also things about community that are pure enjoyment and innocence and laughter.
Fellowship digs rich wells of communication, expression, and transformation.
Having friends who walk through life with me and stand with me when things are not easy is a gift from the Lord.
Living with women of God means that I see Jesus shined in many different ways. The Bible is opened and there are four different hearts being whispered to by the Holy Spirit.
My burdens aren't carried alone, even when I think they are.
Kendall and I make "road trips" across our small town in order to have lots and lots of Mexican food. She sits and sketches while I write stories. We curl up behind a guitar and sing "Beautiful" by Bethany Dillon and mean the words. There are late night walks and talks and Spider Solitaire.
Kelsey brings laughter and crafts and Christmas lights (okay, "candy corn lights") in the middle of autumn. Because of her presence in the house, there are Styrofoam pumpkins, pine cones, and plastic leaves on every available surface. If a song needs to be sung, her voice is the one singing.
Sammy is the wild card who orders the Elvis cardboard cutout because she knows that's what our house needs most of all. If a prank is committed, she is the perpetrator. If an adventure is to be had, she is out the door with a kayak and bare feet.
No, living in community is not always easy. But it's what I need in this time of my life as a college student. As a young, single woman growing to love Jesus more and understand more about His love, there is nothing that pushes me forward more than sharing a home and a life with other women who are seeking Christ.
There is joy to be found when a school day is hard, through warm tea and worship songs and silly nights. It is a beautiful thing when conflicts are resolved in love instead of anger. When surrounded by community, I'm learning about accountability and vulnerability and transparency.
I pray that wherever I am in my life, I will have a strong community where we challenge and support and encourage each other. It will look different in one place than in another, but in this place, community looks like right here. A day in a pumpkin patch. A two hour discussion about Balaam and the donkey at one in the morning. Guitar strings and snap peas.
I like to daydream about what's to come, but I'm thankful for right here. Right now. Even when it's hard. Especially when it's joyful.
As a college student, most of my meals fall somewhere on the spectrum between fast food, canned soup, Kraft Mac'n'Cheese, and Lunchables. However, October has been a month of fellowship and celebration. I was able to go to Austin, Texas on a brief vacation with my parents and grandparents. We shared delicious food and quality time (my love language): all ingredients for an amazing meal.
One that sticks out in my mind across the last several years was from my roommate my freshman year in college (her senior year). She and I did not know each other beforehand and we have not kept in touch often since then. We were each busy with our own lives and would shyly chat for a few minutes each day, but we did not talk in-depth very often. At this time, I was dealing with homesickness and loneliness, so sending and receiving mail was the highlight of my week.
For Christmas that year, this sweet roommate put so much time and effort into my gift, no matter how often we talked or spent quality time together. She gave me a box in my favorite colors (black and white with maroon trim sewed on). The box was meant to hold the letters I kept from my family. On one side, she had stitched "MAIL" and on the other side, she stitched "BARUA," which is mail in Swahili (because I absolutely love Kenya, Africa). Inside the box was an Elvis postcard (my favorite music artist) and a Yorkie postcard (my favorite dog).
To make a long story short, I was incredibly touched by the love that my roommate put into the gift and the fact that she worked so hard to get to know me, even when I often set aside deep friendship in all of my rushing around. I still keep the mailbox on display in my room and it holds all of my letters.
For my birthday a couple of weeks ago, I received some wonderful homemade gifts from my mom and roommates that touched my heart (and... I also got a life-sized cardboard cutout of Elvis Presley. Thanks, guys). I also got the new iPhone 6 and almost fainted with the joy of it all.
I think I miss most the imagination. I have a huge box full of all of the stories I wrote when I was a young child. All I needed was a brand new notebook and a fresh set of mechanical pencils and I was entertained for hours on end. There was an endless supply of stories and words and creative ideas in my childish mind.
Now I still love to write and there are still ideas and words and people working their way into my imagination, but I have to work harder to find and create them. I miss the freedom of expression that I had when I was younger.
What is your first memory of being truly excited?
This is a difficult question because it's complicated to gauge a timeline of my earliest memories. I remember always feeling so excited when my dad got home from a long day at work. When I heard him shut the back door, set down his things, and call out, "I'm home!", there was nothing that could thrill me more than my childish relief at knowing my family was secure and together and filled with love.
I remember buying a tiny Polly Pocket kit. If you grew up in the nineties, you know what I'm talking about. I loved tiny things.
A few weeks ago, I celebrated a day that I will remember for the rest of my life.
At Texas A&M University, receiving your class ring is one of the greatest moments of your college experience. It certainly was for me.
The Aggie Ring marks the hard work I've spent over the last three years (and year to come). If you know anything about Aggies, we are proud of our traditions. The ring is a tangible bond that connects former students to each other. It's difficult to explain or understand the significance of this achievement unless you are an Aggie, but the ring is a symbol of the school we love and cherish.
One of the most entertaining things about my university is the formality that surrounds Aggie Ring Day. The event basically consists of picking up your ring from a table at the alumni center, but everyone dresses up and invites their extended families and friends to join them in the excitement.
My parents and grandparents came to town for the occasion. We stood in line and filed into the alumni center just before rain fell from the sky in buckets. Since my dad is an alumni of Texas A&M, he placed the ring on my finger.
It meant so much to me for my family to be there, supporting me through a special and important moment in my life. The Aggie Ring is only a small piece of gold, but it carries its true value through its meaning. It is the mark of a goal I worked hard to achieve.
At the end of the day, many Aggies participate in a tradition called Ring Dunk. Typically, one drops their ring in a large pitcher of beer and drinks until they reach the bottom and catch the ring between their teeth. My friends and I held a "dry" event, but our rings needed to be baptized nonetheless.
One of the best moments of the night was that my dad chose to participate in the ring dunk. He had never dunked his ring before, so he filled his pitcher with ice water and merged the Aggie Ring Dunk with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
We stood in three inches of rain water with cheering friends gathered around us, accessorized with ponchos and pitchers and rain boots, and we proudly dunked our rings.
Overall, the day was one of the sweetest of my college experience. I felt unified with my school and my friends and my family. An accomplishment that meant so much to me was finally reached.
I will never forget the day I got my Aggie Ring. More than a month has passed, but I still find myself staring at this pretty symbol of my hard work and daydreaming when I should be listening in class (my bad, prof).
It's amazing how much my life has changed since coming to Texas A&M. When I was in high school, I never pictured myself at such a big university. The Lord brought me gently outside of what I ever hoped or dreamed for my future. Attending this school meant leaping far from my comfort zone, but every day here has been worth the hard work.
Three years ago: Me? Pregnant?
I'm a young Christian woman who seeks to dress modestly. However, when I get ready for the day, I do not choose modest clothing to "keep men from stumbling."
I agree that we should serve our brothers in Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:32 says, "Do not cause anyone to stumble." It's important to live like this. But our modesty should be an act of worship to God before it is any response to man.
Something I've found is that modesty frequently becomes more about our relationship with men than our relationship with God. We receive constant reminders like: "Do not cause your brothers in Christ to stumble by how you dress. It is your responsibility to do your part in keeping men from temptation by dressing modestly." However, in the Bible, women are called to dress modestly as worship to God (1 Timothy 2:8-10).
When the focus of anything is man, it quickly becomes entangled in legalism. In Galatians 1:10, Paul says, "Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant."
When I was a teenage girl, I understood "modesty" as a collection of rules and what-not-to-do's that controlled how I dressed. These rules were stretched and blurred as I walked the line as closely as I could between what was modest and what was not. Modesty became an inner wrestling match between my will and my consciousness of the men around me. "If I dress this way, the lust is their fault. If I dress that way, then it is mine."
Asking the question, "Did how I dress today cause boys to stumble?" without the focus on worship brings about legalism because the standards of man are changing and broken by this world. How I dress can easily become shame-centered this way. "My jeans can only be this tight. My skirt may only be this short."
When the question becomes instead, "Did how I dress today bring glory to God?", every piece of clothing I wear becomes an act of love instead of a source of guilt.
My modesty is first and foremost an act of worship to the Lord and only then it is a way to respect and love the men around me.
It is a precious thing to love my brothers in Christ by how I dress, but it is a far greater treasure to clothe myself first and foremost in worship of God: ethically, modestly, and with righteous deeds.
Three years ago: Bounce Houses are the BEST!
Four years ago: Take someone out for coffee.
I fell in love with Jesus a few months before I turned fifteen. My life radically changed.
Depression and anxiety had ravaged my heart and mind. These struggles did not automatically go away after I encountered Christ, but I did experience a new confidence and joy that changed me.
I eagerly wanted every part of my life to radiate my faith. My high school friends and I memorized chapters of the Bible and held weekly Bible studies and we were so desirous to learn more about the God who made us new. I felt a new and exciting fire.
At times, my zeal tipped over into legalism. For example, I remember studying 1 Thessalonians with a few friends and reading, "Pray without ceasing." We took this at face value and challenged each other to go an entire day without thinking about anything except Jesus. Determined, I took a black Sharpie and scrawled 1 Thessalonians 5:17 onto the back of my hand so that when I rested my arms upon my desk in class, I would remember to pray instead of listen to the teacher. No, this wasn't the healthiest expression of my faith. I was a child sipping milk as I tried to teach myself how to fly an airplane.
But the fire burned bright and I learned so much during those first months and years.
Things were not always easy. There were seasons of drought and desert, when all I felt was an aching thirst that I could not quench... or even worse, apathy where I began to stop thirsting at all. There were storms that caused me to rage and doubt. I strayed and returned; I became impatient and frustrated and stubborn. My emotional highs collapsed and I raged against my old self and even against God.
When the droughts passed away and the rains returned, I learned that my Father is faithful. When the storms stilled, I realized that Christ is more powerful than my worst days. When I stumbled back as a prodigal daughter time and time again, I glimpsed the depths of God's grace.
I'm in my early twenties now and I have very little experience with romantic love. I've never had a boyfriend or even seriously dated. However, I'm at the stage in my life where I am able to watch a few of my dearest friends fall in love and enter into marriage. As I learn from the true and passionate love that I see in my friends and my parents, I cannot help but be reminded about what it is like to have a relationship with Jesus.
My friends who are falling in love for the first time are standing on the heights of the tallest mountains. Their passion is beautiful.
My parents and grandparents have another kind of passionate love that is just as priceless. The longer they experience life together, the further their love is deepened by sacrifice and commitment. "I give my life to you" and "I commit to you even when things are hard" are just as precious as the exciting discovery of new love.
I will admit that there is a different kind of fire for the Lord in me than there was when I was fourteen. Where my faith was once marked by loud and zealous expressions of love, I have a somewhat changing passion now. This passion comes from walking through difficult times as well as happy ones. It comes from broken relationships, plateaus and lonely places, and the increasing knowledge of how vast God's grace actually is. It comes from experiencing valleys and not only mountains.
In some ways, my relationship with Christ is transforming from a new and blazing fire to that of a steady flame. This brings with it the necessity for me to work hard to keep from falling into apathy because I hope I will always seek to be a radical follower of Jesus, but I am thankful.
After all of my mistakes, God's compassion is greater. No matter how far I have run, he has been there. When I'm tired of seeking, still he sings. And now he is teaching me how to experience his love in an enduring, committed way that reaches beyond my changing emotions.
And this love is beautiful.
1.) Get involved right away. Having no friends can turn you into a lonely, homesick hermit for those first few weeks of college (speaking from experience). You will have a much better time if you join a Bible study or organization that first week and start working on new friendships from the very beginning.
2.) Friendships will accelerate. One of my biggest concerns going into college was, "I've been friends with the same people for years. How am I supposed to make good friends in just a few weeks?" Believe me, you do. All the other new freshmen want to make friends just as much as you do. Crises bring people together, and moving to a new place with a bunch of terrified strangers is definitely a form of crisis. By the end of this year, your college friendships will be deeper than you ever expected.
3.) Be prepared for your study habits to change. High school consists of 6 hours in class and maybe an hour of studying each day. College is backwards. You'll spend a few hours in class each day, if that, and then you are expected to spend your free time with your nose in a book. The adjustment can be difficult. Prepare to move into the library or a study corner, putting work into school outside of class. If you don't put hours into studying in college, you'll be surprised at how quickly your grades start to fall.
4.) Get enough sleep. I don't know why all-nighters are a thing, because they're horrible. Past about 2am, you lose all motivation to study and you end up spending most of the night on Facebook, staring with bleary eyes into space, or napping on the hard floor. The next morning when you take the test, you feel half-dead. All-nighters are a terrible idea. Instead, just study ahead of time, put in the work that you're supposed to (not just the day before), and then pull a late-nighter without having to sacrifice an entire night's sleep.
5.) Use a planner. I didn't learn this until my junior year, but a detailed planner is a life-saver. I mark down every single assignment from every single syllabus I receive. Then when I look over that week's schedule, I can think to myself, "Okay, today I need to read 2 chapters from this class, 1 chapter in this class, and I have a test on Thursday to study for." A planner may seem like a drag (and honestly, it kind of is), but it's worth the extra effort. When you are balancing several difficult classes at the same time, organization is essential.
6.) Don't skip class. Skipping class is a normal thing to do, at least at my university. By the middle of the semester, there might be only a handful of students sitting in a class that is registered as full. Lectures are boring, sleep is enticing, but skipping class is not worth the stress that you will feel when it's time for midterms and you don't understand what on earth your textbook is trying to say.
7.) Visit a few churches and then stick with one. Going to church by yourself, before you really have found a community of your own, is hard. If you loved your home church, then finding a new church alone is even harder. The more you visit new churches without settling down, the more discouraged you will become. So find a place where the people are kind, the doctrine matches your own, and you can worship freely, and stay there. In 4 months, if you are still not satisfied, you can look around some more.
8.) Your friendships will change. I think it's fairly typical to enter college with a mindset of, "Nobody here could ever match up with the amazing friends I had in high school." The truth is that you and your high school friends will likely grow up more in this year than you did in all of high school, and if you are living in different places, you will begin to grow apart. Now, whenever you're back in your hometown together, things will flood back to how they were. Being together will always be a blast. But it's okay to grow and change apart from your friends. The friendships you form at university may be the best you've ever had.
9.) Do not over-commit. While it's important to get involved right away, it's just as important not to pack your schedule with way more than you can handle. Don't join 5 organizations or Bible studies at once. You're at university for school, so be sure to reserve time for studying. Find one or two groups at your college where you fit and stick with those. Don't be afraid to take a few hours each week to relax and study by yourself.
10.) Take time for Jesus. Freshman year is crazy, busy, overwhelming, and chaotically fun. You are going to be busier than you have ever been. You are going to make more friends in a short amount of time than you ever have before. You are going to look back a year from now and think, "Wow, I have changed so much." As you're growing and changing and discovering more about yourself, be sure to take the time each day to spend with Jesus. Learn about Him with community and learn about Him in quiet, solitary times. When you are feeling lonely, overwhelmed, or discouraged, cling to Him. Use this year to be passionate and excited about your relationship with the Lord.
Are you a new freshman in college? Let me know, and I will be praying for you!
This is a poem I wrote for a young lady in my life who struggles with so much insecurity about the beauty God has given her.
I know you see what is broken.
Your fears, your hurts, your shame.
Torn to pieces, wrenched apart.
And a hurting, world-worn heart.
How He aches and hears you cry.
"You were made to look like Me."
Three years ago: I tend to be ungrateful.
Father, I am hurting. It's been a long and weary night.
Fear clawed at my chest and I couldn't see a light.
So I cling to You and plead for You to hold me tight.
I'm small and insignificant. It's so easy to get lost.
I wander from the path You set, mindless of the cost.
But a still voice I recognize whispers what I forgot.
You took a shattered vessel and filled it with Your grace.
A chipped jar of clay, yet You took me from that place.
You lifted my trembling frame and met my broken gaze.
My empty heart is filled with hope as I glimpse Your face.
May my shattered heart be restored, redeemed, refilled.
You step into my messy world and command it to be still.
I rest under the gentle sun atop Your grassy hill.
One year ago: These are a few of my favorite things.
This summer has been so very bittersweet.
On one hand, I have been stressed and exhausted and worn down and burnt out. On the other hand, I've gotten to have lovely little adventures with my family that have kept my spirits from sinking for too long.
For the 4th of July holiday, my cousins were in town from California. The three young ones had never really visited Texas before, at least not what they could remember, and so they were looking for a true Western experience.
I live in the heart of Texas, where tall trees are sparse and the sky is bigger than you've ever seen.
A few Texas Panhandle activities were a must, such as kite-flying in the windy weather, visiting the most popular restaurant in town, making homemade ice cream, buying fireworks, and eventually venturing out to Cadillac Ranch.
On the morning of July 4th, we decided to drive a ways and head to the edge of Palo Duro Canyon, where we would ride horses.
Trail rides tend to offer horses that are worn down and over-worked. However, these Quarter Horses are working cattle horses that are excellently cared for, come from champion lineage, and are well-trained. During the summers when there is little work to be done, their owners will allow them to be ridden by people wanting to explore the edge of the canyon. This keeps the horses trim and used to following commands.
If you remember my experience on the island of Antigua, I enjoy riding horses, but I have my anxieties, so I always tell my family beforehand that I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be matched with the most elderly horse of the bunch. Surely an old-timer will be less likely to run away with me.
We gave our heights and weights over the phone and were matched with a horse before we even arrived at the ranch. The youngest kids were given their horses first, and then a buckskin horse was led my way. "Emily, this is Bucky. He's the oldest horse on this ranch: 28 years old." I was thrilled. On Antigua, I was given the oldest horse... and in Texas, I got the senior citizen once again!
Although Bucky is 7 years older than I am, he sure did not act like it. During the times that we were riding in a line, he would attempt to weave his way to the head of the pack. Although he was gentle and obedient with me, Bucky liked being in charge of all the other horses.
The trail ride was beautiful in a completely different way than Antigua was. The grass was pale green, the sky was pale blue, and the entire world seemed to stretch out before our very eyes. Cattle grazed around us while cowboys in our group would occasionally wander off to herd them in the right direction.
We reached the edge of the canyon, where the earthy colors fanned out before us like spilled paint.
Looking around at the great expanse of the Texas horizon, I could not help but imagine what life would be like as one of the first explorers in this part of the world. What was it like to see the second largest canyon in America without ever having expected to find it? What was it like to stumble across thousands of buffalo grazing in waist-high grass? What was it like to be among the first from across the world to admire God's vibrant sunsets in the vast Texas sky?
The beauty in this part of the world is a unique beauty, but it is beautiful all the same.
Riding horses is such a wonderful glimpse into the history of this state, as well as the perfect way to have spent the start of Independence Day. I heard a quote once that said, "When I ride a horse, I borrow freedom."
I may be timid, inexperienced, and a little worried when it comes to riding horses, but there is a beauty that horses bring to a landscape, and I was happy to be a part of that.
The big plans You have for me.
But my "talk" is not Your plan.
Holes in Your hands and side.
In Your Name, for Your will.
And let my pride be still.
One year ago: Just behind the fence.
Several years ago, my pastor at the time, Milton Jones, passed out a sheet of paper to everyone in the church. On the paper was written a creed that convicted me immensely. I used to keep the paper folded carefully in my Bible, but with time I lost track of the little piece of paper and forgot about the poem entirely. I only recently stumbled upon the very same creed that had so deeply touched my heart for Christ as I was just entering my faith.
I'm not sure who wrote this commitment, but it has encouraged and challenged me.
"I am a part of the 'Fellowship of the Unashamed.' The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience, lift by prayer, and labor with power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, and my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, or slow up until I've stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner is clear. I am a part of the 'Fellowship of the Unashamed.'"
Two years ago: Just hope.
Three years ago: I was a strange child.
When I woke this morning, the sun was just barely finding its way into the Puerto Rican sky, but we were already docked firmly at the pier. My vacation was in its final hours.
Sleepy and lagging, I shoved my last few articles of clothing into a bag and made my way to the Windjammer for a final meal on the ship. The electricity actually shut off halfway through the meal. This caused quite the stir, and I honestly would have been somewhat concerned if we had not been knotted so securely to dry land.
1.) I miss my Naana and Pa.
2.) I miss my family's three dogs.
3.) I miss having my own bedroom.
4.) I miss a comfortable pillow and bed.
5.) I miss using a shower that is wider than my office chair.
There are more reasons why I wish I could stay in the Caribbean for a few days longer, but do I really need to list those?
The flight to Texas was four hours long and spent sleeping, studying calculus, and re-reading The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. Last night when I finished Blue Like Jazz and was raving about its impact on my heart, Amy told me she didn't believe books could change lives. She said books could change people's perceptions, but they can't change a life.
I disagree. After reading Blue Like Jazz, I hope to embrace God's charity and open-ended grace with outstretched arms and a broken, smiling heart. After reading The Ragamuffin Gospel, I hope to daily look more and more like Mary Magdalene did when she washed Christ's feet with her hair and less like the Pharisees when they proclaimed their good deeds from the street corners.
After reading books like The Ragamuffin Gospel and Blue Like Jazz, my life will never be quite the same again.
My Naana and Pa picked my family up from the airport after a long day of navigating through terminals and attempting to find comfortable napping positions in cramped airplane seats. Our dogs were squirming and crying and dancing with sheer excitement as soon as we stepped through the front door of the house.
It rained four inches while we were gone. While this might not seem like much, most of Texas is in severe drought, and the land around my home is looking greener now than it has in three years.
Now I'm sitting cross-legged on my comfortable bed in my very own bedroom with five piles of laundry strewn around me. Memories from the cruise dinner last night already seem like they happened a week ago. On Monday I'll start back to work (and buckle down on that calculus class).
Rest is beautiful. It was created by God. It is essential for restoration and rejuvenation. The last ten days have been such good rest.
Five years ago: I met my sponsored child for the first time today.
Today was spent entirely on the cruise ship, Jewel of the Seas. Our destination is Puerto Rico once again.
The waters were smooth for most of the morning and a deeper blue than a twilight sky. In fact, when I first woke and went to sit on the balcony and breathe in the ocean air, I could see flying fish sparkling in and out of the waters like small birds.
My family was up fairly early, so after breakfast we ventured to the top deck of the ship to see what activities awaited us. Royal Caribbean offers so many events on board, but it can become easy to get absorbed in your own little routines, even during a brief 7-day trip. On the top deck alone, there are pools, water slides, golf simulation machines, a rock climbing wall, and miniature golf.
We played mini-golf on a small, aged course with 9 holes. No one kept track of the points, but I'm pretty sure I was dead last. I blame my failure on the rocking of the ship.
Luke went to play basketball, so Grandma Marcia, Dad, Amy, and I took up a game of shuffleboard. We are a competitive family, so we played several rounds and it was eventually decided that my Dad was by far the best at this game and whoever was on his team would win by a landslide. I got my very first sunburn of the trip during this game: a saddle of pink across my nose and the apples of my cheeks.
We had lunch as a family at the Seaview Cafe. All of us were flushed and excited from our individual games and activities. I chose to finish lunch early and go back up to my cabin so that I could sit on the balcony, study the bane of my life (business calculus), and read Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. The book was both challenging and inspiring. Every few pages I finished seemed to be filled with jotted notes and highlights.
It is a little sad that this trip is already coming to a close. I said goodbye to my family's two precious waiters, Shirlyn from Jamaica and Julian from St. Lucia. They have been so gracious to my family, especially to Nawnie. Shirlyn called her "my favorite lady" and always tried to make her day brighter. The staff on this ship make the cruise even more delightful. Even the steward who keeps our cabin tidy was a joy to meet.
Perhaps the saddest of my farewells was when I finished my final creme brûlée of the cruise. This dessert will always hold a special place in my heart.
My little brother and I have a weird bond. Throughout the cruise, I've been making up nicknames for Luke depending on each island we've visited. He didn't get a nickname for the day at sea (probably because his idea was to call him "Loser" because it kind of rhymes with cruise!), so I've returned to calling him by the first nickname on the list.
Tomorrow we will arrive in San Juan bright and early. Our luggage has been taken from our cabins the night before departure so that it will be waiting for us in the morning at the gate. My family will spend no more time in Puerto Rico; we will leave straight for the airport where a plane will be waiting to take us back to our beloved home in Texas.
Five years ago: I became ill... in Africa.

Spain is experiencing a Brexit-lite moment these days. And the aggressive tactics that prevented massive amounts of voters from casting their ballots in Catalonia that, according to early polls, would’ve very likely led to Catalonia declaring its independence from Spain earlier this month, didn’t help matters.
Catalonia’s vice-president has said that the Spanish government has given them “no choice” but declare independence.
News of bitter conflict between Spain and one of its own regions (for now) Catalonia instantly brought to mind a 60 Minutes interview about FC Barcelona from a few years ago. Please scroll the timeline to 12:21 for the interview portion concerning the long existing divide between Spain and Catalonia.
As the interview in the 60 Minutes piece reveals, the rift between Spain and FC Barcelona’s home in Catalonia is not new and has been peacefully subdued for years and years through passive-aggressive tension. Not anymore. The time to get off the fence has finally arrived. The future outcome between these two Spanish forces is unknown at this point, but there are serious divides between Spain and its independent-minded region. The consequences, positive and negative, for the Catalan people are, and potentially will be, far-reaching and lasting in a variety of ways. These critical issues will continue to be highlighted and discussed in the coming days and weeks as this battle royale rages on. However, again, what’s fascinating is that soccer football has a place at the table in this evolving debate.
If Catalonia successfully becomes an independent nation and actually has its seat at the UN, then what league does FC Barcelona play?
Technically, FC Barcelona would not be a city in Spain. How would La Liga feel about admitting/re-admitting one of its most historically prolific and profitable clubs? Could, or would, Spain really turn away the cash cow that is FC Barcelona in the Messi era? Would the Spanish government interfere at the highest levels? Would there be a public vote? Could FC Barcelona become football’s first independently floating Notre Dame equivalent? Would the English Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga bid for FC Barcelona to join their league?
These questions may not be as hypothetical as people may want to think.
Moreover, former FC Barcelona manager and legend Pep Guardiola, born in Catalonia, recently expressed his views to reporters on the Spain vs. Catalonia debate after a Man City match.
“It’s a really sad day for democracy. I thought in the 21st century, those kind of things didn’t happen,” he said.
“Especially, for example, the Catalan parliament is older than the Spanish parliament itself.
“I am really, really sad. The Catalan people just wanted to vote and we want to be listened to and let the people say what they wanted to be [part of Spain or independent].
The EU and its powerful, overarching style of governing may still be mostly intact, but it seems each of its members is passionately and continually expressing its own desire for independence in some form or another, whether it’s from the EU or from itself. Fascinating and transformational times we live in, indeed.

Of all the priceless things that have been extracted from Africa, music is surely the most prized and most influential of them all. Diamonds and gold may have monetary value but when it comes to the shaping of cultures and the ability to express the emotional content of all our lives, then surely the music of Africa, extricated with slavery across the Atlantic Ocean, is the ultimate shining stone in the crown.
And like ripples on a pond the energy inevitably bounces back from distant shores to the source. What Heat, newly released on Real World Records by the band Bokante and the Metropole Orkest, is a classic example of this, and it returns with gifts abundant.
Bokante means “exchange” in the Creole vernacular of Guadeloupe, a Caribbean island in the French Antilles which, as a major recipient of the slave trade, is an important part of the African diaspora. It is also the birthplace of lead singer Malika Tirolien. Apart from her soaring vocals Marika is also responsible for lyrics that are both poetic expression and blunt instrument. The opening lines of “Reparasyons” (Reparations) are a great example.
All the songs are sung in Creole, but translations are included in the liner notes and well worth the read, for they are the literary arm of a very powerful endeavor. Bokante is an eight-piece collective of super talent garnered from five countries on four continents, with the intent of not only sharing their combined musical wealth but challenging the many geo/social/political problems in today’s world. It is a jazz- and percussion-laden ensemble with full world music and rock credentials. This is not surprising, as it is the brainchild of Michael League, the mastermind behind the Grammy-winning outfit known as Snarky Puppy (get past the name, watch them on YouTube performing with the likes of Salif Keita and Susana Baca). This group has played with the best and biggest stars.
Adding to the creative stew is the Metropole Orkest, bringing the resonance of European classical music into the pot. However, they are not your average symphony orchestra—think more the Kronos Quartet on steroids, F44 strong players who have played in every music genre imaginable.
This could obviously end up as a murky mess congealed to the pan bottom. Luckily we are in the hands of three master chefs: Michael League, Malika Tirolean and orchestra conductor Jules Buckley, who shares arrangement credits with League. These arrangements help bring clarity and purpose to what is obviously a very crowded field (there are 11 sections in Metropole alone). The balance between them, the members of Bokante and Tirolean’s lead vocals and amazing chorus lines are distinct, which is much needed given the complexity of lyrical and ensemble dexterity.
So where does Africa fit in all this? For starters everything is heavily percussion driven, not just overtly African but also that of Cuba, Brazil, Haiti, South America and the Caribbean in general. It is the driving force. But there are many traditional and melodic elements at play as well. What is added is jazz-rock swagger, and that opens the door to some extraordinary improvisation. The Metropole string parts bring a truly cinematic quality—not in a tired John Williams kind of way but with turn-on-a-dime inventive drama that would give you whiplash if this was a virtual reality game.
But this is not virtual, it is real, emotionally charged creativity at full tilt. Tracks like “Don’t Do It” and “Fanm” (The Woman) are as intense as anything you will hear in any music genre today, echoed again in the searing lyrics. “Maison En Feu” (House on Fire) is the inspiration for the album cover of What Heat, expressing the image of a man apathetically and metaphorically watching his own house burning down as a parable for the times.
If Duke Ellington, Angelique Kidjo, Weather Report and Peter Gabriel (Real World label founder) got together, I doubt whether they could have improved on What Heat one iota. Lyrically and musically it is a life-affirming shot of adrenalin that brings in the music of Africa as an equal partner (perhaps more than) in a sonically raised fist for humanity in the face of oppression and injustice, not just in Africa but society at large.

When a customer says we buy off of a contract, what would be a good response to keep the conversation going?
The interesting thing with a contract is that a sale may be a long way off, but when you get the business you've got it for a long time too.
Many of the sales I made in my B2B sales career were contracts.
When, I'd encounter a new prospect who said they bought under contract the first thing I went after was details.
What advantages do you get buying under contract?
How long have you been buying that way?
How long do you prefer the contracts to run?
How long before your current contract ends?
How many people offer you this product/service?
How interested would you be in having another supplier?
At then end of a set of questions like that you should know what's important to them, when you can quote, how big the business is and how interested they are in an alternative supplier.
Then it's a matter of aligning how you operate and what you offer with what's important to them and accentuating the ares in which you have an advantage over your competitors.

DEL CITY—On Tues., Jan. 29, Oklahoma Baptist Women gathered at the State Evangelism Conference at Del City, First Southern to be encouraged to share their faith with boldness. A lineup of powerful women of faith made the program a challenging, yet inspiring, women’s session.
Mona Sabah Earnest in her wedding dress from 25 years ago.
To begin the Women’s Session, Chanda Graham led the room, which was nearly seated to capacity, in a time of worship.
Next, Mona Sabah Earnest, author of From Isa to Christ: A Muslim woman’s search for the hand of God, began by saying not all Christians look one way.
She was born and raised in the Middle East, lived in England, went to school in Pakistan and then finally moved to the United States at the age of 11. Sabah has worked in the human resources field and teaches business, management, Leadership and Cultural Diversity. She received her master’s degree in human resources from the University of San Francisco and is a professional speaker and a corporate trainer.
She left Islam and became a follower of Jesus Christ at the age of 35. She has been married to her husband since 1993 and has three children. After marrying an American man, she was disowned by her family, for the first of two times.
Moving to Oklahoma in 2001, Sabah Earnest questioned what she believed as a Muslim after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
“Everyone was saying Islam was a peaceful religion, and I wanted to know more. It led me on a three-and-a-half-year journey into the Quran, trying to become a better Muslim,” Sabah Earnest said.
Her husband was a “Bible-belt Christian,” or a cultural Christian, but didn’t have an active relationship with God. This led her to ask what was an authentic Christian?
Sabah Earnest then explained similarities between Islam and Christianity.
“Did you know that 100 percent of Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and that He performs miracles? Did you know that not 100 percent of Christians believe that?” she said.
Her questions brought her and her husband to a church, where for the first time in both of their lives, the Gospel was presented to them, and they both made professions of faith in Christ. Her family disowned her for a second time when she made this decision and begged her not to tell anyone what she had done, for fear of her life.
After Sabah spoke, Donna Paulk, women’s ministry strategist at the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia spoke about practical ways she engages people in her neighborhood and city in evangelism. Paulk shared a story about how she told a prostitute in her neighborhood that God told Paulk to tell her that she needed to come back to Him, and the woman broke down. She then prayed with Paulk and made a profession of faith in Christ.
Following Paulk was a panel of three Oklahoma Baptist women. The three women practice evangelism daily through volunteer work, or like Paulk, simply in their neighborhood.
Hannah Hanzel, art director of the Baptist Messenger was the first to share the different ways she practices evangelism by volunteering at local hospitals and going on prayer walks in her neighborhood, which has led to Gospel conversations with neighbors.
Donna Paulk, Women’s Ministry strategist for the Virginia convention.
Hanzel’s grandmother, Juanita Hanzel serves in a jail ministry where she shares the Gospel with female prisoners through a weekly Bible study. Because of her experience in troubled people’s lives, she shared valuable advice on how to love others, judgment-free.
Stacee Goetzinger practices evangelism on her daily trip to convenience stores for Diet Cokes. Goetzinger shared about a past eating disorder, which has opened the door to share the Good News of Jesus with others who were “spiritually empty” in her outpatient rehabilitation program.
Let it be said of the Women’s Session at the State Evangelism Conference that women from all walks of life were offered encouragement and challenged to urgently share the Good News of Jesus by using evangelism in their daily lives.

Commission president says the EU is ‘not giving up’ on migration crisis or Poland.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Friday he was confident the EU would be able to reach a deal with Britain to avoid a Brexit, one of several difficult political problems he acknowledged would challenge the Union in the coming year.
"I am quite sure we will have a deal — not a compromise, a solution, a permanent solution — in February,” Juncker said, referring to a summit meeting at which EU leaders hope to approve reforms demanded by British Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of his country’s referendum on its membership in the Union.
Speaking to reporters in Brussels in his first full press conference of 2016, Juncker covered a wide range of issues. He said the EU faces “multiple crises, and not entirely governed crises,” including migration, rising Euroskepticism in many countries and concerns about recent moves by the new Polish government.
Juncker said the EU was suffering from a “credibility crisis” on the global stage for its inability to address migration issues. But he insisted he would “not give up” his efforts to convince EU countries to implement measures aimed at dealing with the influx of refugees — including a controversial effort to relocate asylum-seekers from the Middle East and Africa across the bloc.
After eight months of summits and debates, only 272 migrants and asylum-seekers have been relocated, partly because of the political sensitivity of the migration issue across Europe, where rising anti-refugee sentiment has undermined many countries’ commitment to solving the crisis. In addition, only three of a planned 11 processing centers for arriving refugees, known as "hotspots," are currently operational.
“A number of member states have failed to fully deliver,” Juncker said, adding that he was “a little tired myself of consistently finding that the Commission is criticized” on migration issues.
Juncker sought to assure the people of Poland that “the Commission doesn’t have a problem with Poland. We have a problem with certain initiatives of the new Polish government."
The statement comes two days after the Commission announced it would launch a probe of whether Poland would be put under an assessment mechanism under the rule of law procedure.
Juncker’s speech was overall a pessimistic examination of many of the difficulties the EU is currently facing, including Italy’s difficult relationship with the EU. But he said that despite the various crises, the “number one” priority of the European Commission would remain efforts to boost growth and employment.
"We are in difficult times," he said. "This is a Commission of poly-crises. But I am not giving up."
Shall I laugh now? Or cry? EU-boss Juncker seems not to want to understand that the “new” Polish government (as ALL governments in Europe) is NOT accountable to Brussels, but only to their voters in Poland. He and his Brussels-mates would like to vote a government for the Poles. And the people of Poland WANT those changes. Otherwise it is called “democracy”. Get used to it.
Mr. Juncker, time to give up. The jig is up and the European Project in its present ultra-liberal version, courtesy of the Brussel-Berlin axis is a spent idea. Only, the Euro-crats are too “evolved” to notice.
Even the Euro-designed pejorative, ‘euroscpetic’ has been elevated to the loftier, capitalized ‘Eurosceptic’ and underligned in Germanized ‘Euroskeptic’. Very nice.
Somehow, I don’t believe the Euro-crats will introduce ‘Communist’ into the equation. Family connections and all, … you know.
I am sure that Juncker is confident of being able to deliver on the Brexit renegotiation, because David Cameron is hardly demanding much. One would be forgiven for thinking, in fact, that Cameron requested only a minor renegotiation deliberately in order to ensure that he ‘succeeds’. Look at the wording of his renegotiation request over ‘ever closer union’: https://youngeuropeansnetwork.wordpress.com/2015/11/18/ever-closer-what/ That is hardly hard-line stuff..
The alcoholic ,insane Juncker ….not democratic elected . Scandal that this is the leader of EU!!!!
“the Commission does not have a problem with Poland. We have a problem with certain initiatives of the new Polish government.” No, this trick will not work , if Commission does have a problem with democratically elected government of Poland, then Commission is attacking Poland, but it looks like European Commission decisions are illegal due to european union treaties.
What happens if the British referendum defines Brexit? Will Brussels ask for a second referendum or what (eg. Ireland).
I think that question has already been addressed by the British Govt – there will be no second referendum on the in/out question.
I’d beg to differ on the Brexit issue. Cameron is generally on a very sticky wicket and doesn’t really have much power over the referendum, being pretty much on his own. A lot of UK citizens of all political creeds are disenchanted with the amounts they are personally contributing. Whatever compromises leadership secures there, the result will demand a massive and magnificent campaign for which the NOs have a ready made advantage.
I’d broadly agree with you. No-one has control over the outcome of a referendum. I’d guess that those in favour of staying in the EU are ‘soft’ voters who may or may not vote whereas the out camp are ‘hard’ voters committed to voting on the day.
I voted for Schulz as President of the European Commission, but I think Junker is doing a great job with the little power the commission has. He boldly and rightly criticizes Member States for not delivering on their commitments: that’s what a leader must do. Member States should stop breaking their promises. I am proud of him.
I do not agree with any of the comments. Many people think the Commission should “allow the member states to do what they want”: I read in comments that governments in Europe are NOT accountable to the Commission. I find this statement outrageous. It’s true that Member States are sovereign and the EU is not. But as long as they are part of the EU they are supposed to follow its rules or be sanctioned. If a Member State does not like the EU it is free and indeed should be invited to get OUT of it.
Remember Junker was the candidate of the coalition of parties that came out first in the european election and that his election was ratified by the democratically elected European Parliament. No EC President has ever had such a strong popular mandate. And, after the president of the Indian Union, he is the person democratically representing the most people in the WORLD, surpassing by far the President of the USA! He certainly should not consider himself inferior to any of the leaders of the more or less tiny Member States!
And I still have to understand why the Conservatives in the UK and Hungary protested his election AFTER the vote, while they were part of the EU-wide coalition supporting him for the post BEFORE the vote. How democratic a behaviour is that, taking a pledge before the vote and then breaking it immediately after?
The EU is a community and has its rules and its leader. If you want to stay in, you’ve got to respect the rules and recognize the leader. If you do not like them, in the EU you can express your dissent freely but you still have to respect them. If you really can’t stand the EU’s rules and leader, remember the EU is even allowing Member States to LEAVE (very few politically organized territories allow their provinces to break free!) even if the EU cannot expel any one of them or take a new Member without unanimous consent of the existing Members (so very unfortunatelly and very illogically there’s a lot of freedom for the Members, each representing a part, and none for the Union, representing the whole!).

The Singularity has come. The machines have risen.
Our robots, once loyal servants, now slaughter us. Our cars, planes, and starships have become machines of death. Cyborgs roam the land, deforming humans, growing their twisted army.
Is a heartless, mechanized hell our future?
A faint hope shines. Heroes still fight. Famous names. Einav. Marco. Addy. Lailani. The heroes of the Alien Wars. Names etched in our history, in our hearts. Four friends. Four humans . . . against an army of metal.
A shadow has fallen. Humanity must shine brighter than ever before.
5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome!!
Marco & Addy have left their children to fight for humanity once more. The machines have come alive to wipe out humans and they must be stopped. For the sake of their children they will do whatever it takes to save the human race. Will it be enough?

The city is everything in Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Glass, as is clear from the video game's back-story, counts close to fourteen million citizens. Its modernist architecture is symbolic of Conglomerate greatness and makes it one of the more advanced cities in Cascadia. Of course this means little to protagonist Faith and her band of Runners, who see Glass in terms of challenge and conflict. In 'City at Night', Mirror's Edge Catalyst concept artist Frej Appel captures Faith at a contemplative moment: back in town after juvenile detention, she is still deciding on what the city means to her.

Aim: To examine the nature and prevalence of 'care left undone' by nurses in English National Health Service (NHS) hospitals and to assess whether the number of missed care episodes is associated with nurse staffing levels and nurse ratings of the quality of nursing care and patient safety environment. Background: There is strong evidence to show that lower nurse staffing levels in hospitals are associated with worse patient outcomes. However, little is known about how variations in staffing impact on patients. One hypothesised mechanism is the omission of necessary nursing care caused by time pressure - "missed care". Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 2,917 registered nurses (RN) working in 401 general medical/surgical wards in 46 general acute NHS hospitals in England.

RENO — The Reno City Council and City Manager are proud to report that in 2017 the City of Reno became a Certified 3-STAR Community. STAR Communities® is a national framework for communities to measure progress toward a healthy environment, strong economy and improving the well being of all residents. STAR offers a data-driven approach to assess sustainability efforts.
"While we have a great deal of work ahead of us and much more to accomplish in the sustainability arena, we are proud to say that in 2017, we became a Certified 3-STAR Community," At-Large Reno City Councilmember David Bobzien said. "This is just a start, and we will continue to measure our progress toward a healthy environment, strong economy and improved wellbeing of all our residents."
The City of Reno worked with more than 150 individuals and 30 local, regional and state agencies and organizations to gather and analyze data, and report progress against the performance metrics and best practice actions embedded in STAR. This information provides a baseline for the City and information in which staff can assess strengths and weaknesses, and target areas for improvement based on the city's strategic priorities.
The City of Reno documented the outcomes in its first Sustainability Report. In this comprehensive report, residents and businesses will learn about the city's continued and enhanced commitment to creating a more sustainable and livable community. The 2017 Sustainability Report is available at Reno.gov.
The report not only highlights Reno's areas of strengths, it also identifies the opportunities for improvement — most already having been identified as priorities by city leaders and community partners. Among them are increased access to affordable housing, improved community health, expanded use of public and alternative modes of transportation and strengthened civil and human rights.

$Signed a one-year, minor-league contract with the Mets in December of 2018.
Davis was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Deesha Thosar of The New York Daily News reports.
The veteran speedster was fighting for a spot on the Mets' bench, but not being on the 40-man roster proved to be too big a hurdle to overcome. Davis is now set to begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse.
After leading the American League in stolen bases in 2016, Davis finished tied for fourth last season. That's about where the fun ends. He missed time early in the year with a hamstring injury, and then limped to a .220/.261/.321 line in his first 30 games back. That led to a reduction in playing time before the A's shipped him to the Red Sox, with whom he played a minimal role down the stretch. Davis' strikeout rate went in the wrong direction for a third straight year, culminating in his lowest batting average in a full major-league season. Now 37, Davis is a full blown one-category fantasy player, and while stolen bases are on the decline league-wide, speed-only plays are becoming increasingly difficult to justify given how much it takes to compete in the home run, run and RBI categories. Plus, the speed with Davis isn't as safe as it may seem given it's tied closely to playing time and managerial tendencies.
With 43 steals as a 35-year-old last season, Davis became the fourth-oldest player to lead the league in that category. He also reached double-digit home runs for the first time in his career, but a 40-plus point drop in ISO and a decline in hard-hit rate suggests it was largely a fluke. Keep in mind that Progressive Field in Cleveland was a top-five park for power last season, while Davis' new home park in Oakland ranked 29th for power. He will be lucky to even get to half his total from 2016. Further, the A's didn't run much last season, although at this point 20 steals seems to be Davis' floor regardless of team context. He should have center field mostly to himself, meaning he should approach 500 plate appearances again, but the totality of Davis' skill set is not worth paying a premium for.
Davis hit the free agent market over the winter after two solid seasons with the Tigers. But at 35, he is slowing down, so his most valuable fantasy asset -- stolen bases -- are in decline. Davis stole 18 bags on 26 attempts in 341 at-bats which was his lowest single-season total since 2006. He is coming up on the closing credits on his career, but is a lifetime .296/.351/.448 hitter against left-handed pitching. Davis' splits suggest he is best utilized as a short-end platoon option/pinch runner/defensive replacement, but he could garner more playing time if Tyler Naquin struggles in his first taste of the big leagues.
Other than receiving more playing time than expected due to the season-long absence of Andy Dirks, Davis’ 2014 campaign went pretty much went as expected. The speedy veteran outfielder provided the Tigers with a much-needed threat on the basepaths, going 36-for-47 on stolen-base attempts while splitting time almost evenly between the top and bottom of the order. Davis performed better than usual at the plate, slashing .282/.320/.401, which marked just the second time he finished with a slugging percentage above .400. His 37 extra-base hits marked a career best. He also chipped in with 130 hits, 64 runs and 51 RBI, which was just one short of his career high. Despite the somewhat improved performance at the dish, Davis proved once again that he’s best utilized in a platoon role. He slashed an impressive .356/.382/.557 in 149 at-bats against left-handed pitching. In 312 at-bats against righties, Davis hit .247/.290/.327. The Tigers are well aware of Davis’ deficiencies against right-handed pitching, and while Davis is unlikely to see as many at-bats as he did last season, he’ll still receive plenty of opportunities to rack up enough steals to warrant consideration in many formats.
The book on Davis remains the same as ever. He's one of the best basestealers in the game, and is just competent enough with the bat to justify a role as a fourth or fifth outfielder. His 2013 line (.260/.312/.375) was a near-perfect match for his career line, but he swiped 45 bags in 51 tries despite tallying just 360 plate appearances. The Tigers are expected to platoon him in left field and use him off the bench, where he should provide a nice speed boost over the next two seasons as a semi-regular contributor.
Once again Davis came into the season as a reserve outfielder only to end the season as the starter. The batting numbers (.257/.309/.378) are not impressive, but he did finish second in baseball with 46 steals. The Blue Jays re-signed Davis this offseason, and he's expected to handle the fourth outfielder role as Melky Cabrera was signed to take over the everyday job in left field. Even without a starting job, Davis should once again be a cheap source of speed for fantasy owners when called upon, and most of his playing time should come against left-handed pitching as he continues to show better splits against southpaws (career .290/.349/.417).
Davis was slowed by an ankle injury in April and saw his season cut short with a torn hamstring in August but still managed to steal 34 bases in just 95 games. He was effective in stealing bases while in the lineup, but his .238 average and .273 on-base percentage simply weren't good enough to keep him in the lineup consistently. He's expected to make a full recovery this winter, but will enter the season with some competition for at-bats in left field with Eric Thames and Travis Snider, so he may be relegated to a reserve role.
Davis cashed in on his stolen-base potential shown the year prior, stealing 50 bases on the season, but was slowed in early June and was limited on the basepaths thereafter (22 steals in his first 49 games; just 28 in his final 94 games). Traded to the Blue Jays, he's expected to be part of the everyday lineup on a team that finished the year last in the AL in stolen bases (just 58 on the year, and nearly 100 fewer than the A's). It remains to be seen if Davis will be given the green light as often in his new environs.
Davis emerged as an everyday player following Matt Holliday's trade to St. Louis and responded with 26 steals over the final two months. He doesn't walk enough (just 29 walks in 390 at-bats) to be an asset as a pure leadoff hitter, but the A's fell in love with his speed atop the order as the season progressed and he seems destined to begin the year in the same role. He was one of just five players with 40-plus steals in the AL last year and did so in just 390 at-bats. The A's aren't allergic to the stolen base as they were years ago in the Moneyball heyday, and there's a real chance that Davis could swipe 60 bases if he gets 500 at-bats as expected.
Davis swiped 25 bases in 100 games after being acquired from the Giants, though his time in the A's starting outfield figures to be limited with Matt Holliday's acquisition and a healthy (for now) Travis Buck to begin the year. Davis will still see ample opportunity to run with Jack Cust clogging the bases in the late innings, so don't forget about him when the endgame rolls around and you're looking for steals.
Davis came over from Pittsburgh when the Giants traded Matt Morris. Since the Giants shed a terrible contract, San Francisco came away winners regardless of Davis' production. But his .363 OBP and terrific defense was icing on the cake. Blessed with blazing speed, Davis swiped 17 bags in just 142 at-bats while with the Giants. However, he offers very little power with the stick, so he's best utilized as a fourth outfielder. For 2008, expect Davis to start over Dave Roberts against left-handers and whenever the veteran succumbs to the inevitable injury.
Davis has speed to kill and a first name that means "the king" in Sanskrit. The 26-year-old center fielder also got his first taste of major-league action in 2006, going 2-for-14 with one stolen base in four attempts. If the Pirates gave him a chance he could easily steal 20 bases -- Davis finished second in the International League with 45 steals in 58 attempts. Unless the Pirates face a series of injuries in the outfield, Davis is unlikely to see much time in the major leagues.
The Pirates protected Davis on their 40-man roster because he possesses blazing speed. Considered old for Double-A, Davis batted .288 in 499 at-bats with Altoona in 2005, stealing 45 bases in 54 attempts. A fractured right hand ended his season prematurely in August. Prior to his injury, Davis was ticketed for a September call-up and headed to the Arizona Fall League. In five minor-league seasons, he's averaged 36 stolen bases to go along with a .308 batting average. The speedy center fielder has never played above Double-A, and will likely spend the most of the 2006 season at Triple-A.
Davis, a speedy switch-hitting center fielder, who turned in a nifty 2004 with High Single-A Lynchburg, led the Carolina League in batting average (.314), hits (160), runs (91) and stolen bases (57). The Pirates thought enough of him to include him on the 40-man roster, but he still has a long way to go before he has a chance to become a new and improved version of Tike Redman.
Davis was 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's spring loss to the Tigers.
Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Mets that includes an invitation to spring training on Monday.
Davis (illness) was activated off the 10-day disabled list Saturday.
Davis (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Wednesday.

In this drama, seven captives escape from a Nazi concentration camp. After sending the Gestapo after them, the camp's commander has seven crosses nailed to seven trees to await the crucifixion of the fugitives upon their recapture. The crosses are slowly filled, until only George Heisler is still at large.
This is a film of fine performances.
If you will accept this premise, despite the evidence of recent deeds, then you should be both moved and shaken by the better part of this film.
With Tracy heading the cast and a host of great character actors in support, it's hardly surprising that the performances are the most memorable aspect of Zinnemann's first major feature.
One of the best of the swarms of anti-Nazi films Hollywood produced during the war years.
Spencer Tracy, usually solid, is miscast as a German who escapes from concentration camp, but then the whole saga is fake, compared to Zinnemann's later works.
Tracy is superb, while Zinnemann delivers a powerful piece of work that accurately captures the sense of time and place.

Bridgetown, BARBADOS; November 21, 2018 : The use of mobile money to conduct payment transactions was welcomed by key stakeholders in Montserrat, who recently learnt more about the mMoney app, a mobile payment solution powered by Bitt.
“During a two day trip to Montserrat, our Barbados-based mMoney team performed mMoney product demos and fielded questions from the general public at a town hall meeting and during a radio interview. We also met with members of the Cabinet and the Opposition Party, members of the local Chamber of Commerce, the Financial Services Commission, Young Entrepreneurs, commercial banks and credit unions. The feedback was positive and very encouraging,” reported Rawdon Adams, CEO of Bitt, who spearheads the mMoney team.
“We demonstrated how mMoney could benefit the lives of those in Montserrat by providing access to person-to-person money transfers. This is an immediate benefit to merchants and consumers. However, an even greater win could be the potential for businesses in Montserrat to open their markets across the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). mMoney offers access to significantly cheaper online, remote and digital payments at the point of sale. Additionally, the app has the potential to help the business community in Montserrat to innovate and offer new services that move beyond cash,” Adams added.
The outreach follows the execution of the memorandum of understanding between mMoney and the Government of Montserrat, signed in February 2018, to explore the creation of a digital payments ecosystem in Montserrat. The agreement provides a framework for Bitt Digital Inc. to collaborate with the Government of Montserrat and all other local stakeholders, including commercial banks and merchants, to create a digital version of the EC Dollar, in a phased approach.

Though I won’t say writing saved my life, it certainly has helped this depressed man cope with life better. Thanks for sharing your story.
‘Sarah, when my kindred friend passed on, I knew I had to make a choice in which to embrace her as memories within my heard. To embrace the sorrow, meant I would become the sorrow’, and so I ‘denied the spirit of sorrow and weeping. I refused to think of her in any sadness. And the feeling of love was so immense.
‘Sarah’ the sun is warm, feel it upon your face, and the cold winter sky is vivid blue, both of which ice crystals glisten in the sunlight. It is of which we so choose to embrace. Each morning live and embrace life.
‘Two double disk sets: Jackson Browne ‘Solo Acoustic Discs 1’ and 2’. And ‘The Very Best of Jackson Browne ‘Discs 1’ and 2’. Be who you were born to be Sarah… You were not born to be Sorrow. Soon I will lose my hearing, but for now I will listen and feel the music of Jackson. For a Dancer’ I shall miss how my eyes do well when I hear the sweet serenade sounds of Violins.
Sarah you have immense talent, you have a immense heart’, and PC or ink of quill of which are tools to write. Of what Sarah shall you embrace? Live well’ for the morning sunshine will have it no other way.
Even in your lone long sorrow, your sole inspires my own sole to write.
As always your posts resonate with me, and this definitely did. Writing has always been the way I can express myself, and let my emotions out as well. When I cannot communicate, I can with written words and in that process I have found kindred spirits and connections with people I didn’t even know I had.

A true radial mount racing brake system upgrade for your ND or 124. Combine our 11.750″ front and rear four piston kits for a complete four wheel upgrade and drop 26lbs of unsprung mass! Radial mount systems reduce lateral torsion, or flex, offering improved pedal feel and pad release.
Reduce unsprung and rotational mass, increase thermal capacity, improve pedal feel.
The key points to performance brake systems!
We start with a Wilwood 11.750″ rotor paired with our CAD designed and FEA tested hats that weigh just over 1 lb and are designed with cooling reliefs for great thermal dissipation. Our hats and brackets are CNC to a tolerance of .002″ for true run out and proper alignment. Kits are direct bolt on, unlike cheaper kits that require hub rings and alignment shims. But we didn’t stop there. Our kits use radial mount Dynapro radial mount systems that reduce lateral torsion, or flex, improving pedal feel and virtually eliminating pad taper. The strength of the DynaPro is a combination of process and design. The process of stress-flow forging re-aligns the internal grain structure of the metal to flow within the contour of the caliper body. This produces a part with superior strength compared to machined block billet parts or castings. The FEA generated body design features a radial transition between the piston bores and caliper bridges. This eliminates machined steps and shoulders in this critical strength area and substantially increases the resistance against deflection and body separation under high load. Structural deflection and volume displacement testing have proven the efficiency of this innovative design. A two-piece caliper is stiffer, has less failure points, and a 30% increase in pad volume compared to traditional 4 piston lug mount kits.
-Ultra light weight 11.750″ x .810 rotor and hat combo only 9.3lbs.

I was very much pleased with the animation effect produced by DS Art Labs in order to highlight the technology behind an innovative retinal imaging artifact.
The team went through our Pro-Eng design files and brought them to life with the help of exciting animation. It reflects the uniqueness in association with scanning laser technology. Throughout the project I was kept well informed with regards to progress and was highly pro-active in following and seeking feedback on various stages of development, The team demonstrated due patience when I took a little bit to decide on finalization of certain animated elements.
We have no words to express the sense of gratitude for the work done by DS Art Labs in converting a condemned outbuilding into a dwelling place.

Our commitment to each surgeon and every patient is reflected in in the Acuity Surgical name and everything we do.
The word acuity means insight or awareness. For example, acuity-based staffing uses insight about the needs of individual patients rather than raw patient numbers to assign nurses.
Acuity Surgical’s business is built on a similar approach. We care about what matters for individual surgeons as well as their patients and care teams. This drives us to develop a keen understanding of their needs and experiences. Then, we do what it takes to support them.

High-quality, grain-fed beef highlights the menus at Beef Connection, one of the most popular restaurants in Gretna, La. Long-standing and family owned, it skillfully merges classic steakhouse fare with traditional New Orleans-style cuisine.
It's a popular standby for locals looking for an upscale venue to celebrate a special occasion or host a business event. That's because of options such as New York strip, lamb rib chops and a 16-ounce T-bone.
For those considering non-meat items, the fish is fresh and local. Get yellowfin tuna, Gulf shrimp or red snapper. For dessert, there's creme brulee cheesecake, a praline parfait or chocolate lava bundt cake to choose from.

Especially older people like to prank the little ones on several occasions. That's exactly how it was in a video clip that landed on the internet these days.
The security camera captured the moment when a man tackled one of the children on the floor on the hallway, but then regretted his move quickly.
In the video, you can see a scene when the kid runs through the corridor, when the man crosses his path. The child then stumbled and fell to the ground and the man, at the time of a slight regret, set him up for the boy to take revenge for his move.
To his misfortune, the little boy took revenge too seriously!
From the back side, the boy kicked the man, and obviously hit his masculinity. In the video we can see the moment when a man gets taken down in the pain after a kick. Lesson learned?

Day one of beginner painting classes with Lisa Beach. With 13 other brave souls we put paint to paper. Some in the class had painted before. A few, like me, hadn’t picked up a paint brush since 2nd grade. While we all came to the class with our own expectations and fears, I think we all left a little more confident.
Perhaps abstract, modern art will be my speciality???

I have a large domestic pig named Charlie, I have had him since he was 3 months old. I live on a ranch in flordia, and during hog hunting season two very small babies were driven on to our land, all alone. I have been feeding them. At first I tried to trap them and perhaps move them in with Charlie, who only has his chickens.
The pigglets have moved in with the cattle and the horse and donkey but had not met Charlie. The babies are all over the ranch and I am a bit afraid for them as my 4 dogs have spotted them and know they are about. They have no mama to teach them. They are getting bigger.
I was walking Charlie, out of his pen the other day, and the pigglets saw him and ran to him. At first Charlie wagged his tail. The snorting began from all three. Charlie began opening and closing his mouth rapidly, then frothing. Then he chased the little male and charged the female. I yelled at him to stop and he followed me to his pen. The babies followed him as they are looking for their mother.
The next day they approaced his pen, which is an acre of fenced land for just he and the chickens, and Charlie charged them, on the other side of the fence, then blew a bunch of snot out of his nose.
I think intact boars will tend to fight. Charlie may decide to like the female once she is grown if they were penned near each other, maybe the male too if neutered but someone more pig savvy can say for sure.
To catch them put their food near a fence for like a week them add a fence panel coming out from the fence and keep feeding there for a week or long as it takes. Then add a second fence panel on the other side for awhile. Then add a gate left open and you will be able to just close them in while they eat. Maybe even hook the gate up to a pulley system so you wont have to walk up near them. I've not actually done this but have heard it works and sounds like it should.
There are alot of diseases transmitted to domestic pigs from wild pigs. I would seriously consider removing the piglets any way possible. Pseudorabies would be one of the worst and very prevalant in wild pigs.
Pigs are not very friendly to new pigs. If you were to just put the babies in with him, especially if he is not castrated, they could be killed. They need to be introduced in a pen side by side for a couple weeks then introduced. And they may not ever get along truly. Most times they do eventually but the smaller ones are usually bullied by the largest. Its just the pecking order.
Though, I wouldnt encourage it at all if you would be sad if the older one got sick.
Id really watch those wild hogs. Hogs arent naturally "friendly" as is let alone hogs already born wild.

Marketing: Meaning, Considerations and Essential Elements of Marketing!
The term market refers to the place where buying and selling take place, and the term marketing refers to all the activities for taking goods from the place of production to the place of consumption. All the activities of marketing takes place around the consumers.
It links the producers and the consumers together for their mutual benefits. Since marketing includes satisfying consumer needs, it is also a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products or services and values with others.
1. The seller identifies customer needs.
2. Products are discovered to satisfy these needs.
3. Products are designed to satisfy customer needs.
4. The seller estimates a price that the customer would be ready to pay.
5. Customers are located by sellers to reach the product.
The financial success of any business greatly depends on its marketing ability. A business functions only when there is a sufficient demand for products. Thus, marketing is a core activity of any business.
1. According to the American Marketing Association, ‘marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and managing customer relationships in ways that benefits the organization and its stakeholders’.
2. According to William Stanton, ‘marketing is a total system of interacting business activities designed to plan, price, promote and distribute want-satisfying products and services to the present potential customers’.
‘marketing is the management process of identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably’.
4. Philip Kotler defines marketing as an activity directed at satisfying needs and wants through exchange process.
Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. A need can be defined as the state of felt deprivation. It can be the lack of physical, individual and social needs. Wants are objectives that satisfy needs and are shaped by culture and individual personality. Demands are empowered by human wants.
Needs can be best satisfied with a socially accepted process of exchange. It is the marketers who wish to make exchanges. Transaction is a trade between two parties who agree on the value, condition, time and place of exchange.
Product is a generic term used to describe a good, service, idea, person or place. It is a need satisfier. It links a marketer to a consumer. A customer makes a purchase decision, whereas a consumer uses or consumes a product; for example, parents buy toys and children use it.
A customer makes purchase decisions based on the concept of utility. An individual purchases a product because it provides satisfaction, that is, the total utility is the total satisfaction the consumption of a product brings to the consumer. Utility can be related to place, time, form, possession and information.

Accurate and effective cooling using sprayed water is essential in many industrial and manufacturing processes, from the cooling of metals such as steel slabs to cooling gases. Sealpump can help specify and supply the correct spray nozzle, delivery and control system to ensure that the maximum cooling efficiency is achieved.
Depending on the application and whether an Airmist or hydraulic spray nozzle is used, custom built control systems can then be designed to offer the plant the best and most user friendly system, helping maintain even and consistent cooling.

What are the benefits of desktop sharing?
Executing the perfect sales pitch over the phone can be tough, but it doesn’t need to be. With PortSIP PBX’s desktop sharing feature, it’s now possible to show your participants everything your business offers without even leaving the office. Take your customers virtually by the hand and guide them through your product or service offerings and answer any questions that are fired at you right away. Whether you need to carry out team meetings, sales presentations, or trainings, you will find that PortSIP PBX will help you use your time more efficiently and effectively.
Easily roll out new products and services across your business in days instead of months by sharing your desktop with many participants. Providing you with real time cross-office collaboration among many colleagues. And by sharing the same screen content, such as an image, a graph, or a chart, your participants can see exactly what you are referring to avoiding any confusion or misunderstanding.
By using the PortSIP PBX desktop sharing feature in employee training, your business can save considerable money on training costs as you no longer need to pay for projectors and travelling costs. Instead, a lecturer’s teaching material can easily be shared from his or her computer screen.
Just think about that for a moment. Companies are spending thousands on sending their training staff around the world. With online desktop sharing, your business no longer needs to worry about booking flights, hotels and venues. Forget the everyday travel expenses, the nightmare of losing baggage and answering customer queries such as “is there parking at the venue?” Simply schedule your web conference, invite your customers using the automated invite feature and begin sharing your screen and interacting with them as if you were sat right next to them.
Take online training to the next level by utilizing desktop sharing features as a participant pointer and whiteboard to engage trainees and create an interactive learning environment. Session time is shortened because desktop sharing saves you the time that you would have spent describing what you see to meeting participants.
Desktop sharing goes even further as it allows you to troubleshoot customer and colleagues queries, regardless of the distance between you! Your employees can be in any location and can still collaborate and learn from their colleagues. Additionally, customers who need assistance with using new software, working through technical problems, or changing settings can use screen sharing feature to have an experienced computer technician help them.
Desktop sharing with PortSIP PBX transforms two dimensional audio communication into an interactive, audio visual experience that makes meetings more productive.

Q49 [HAND R CARD 44] What are your opinions about the following statements?
When asked for their feelings about four statements regarding social mores, the largest percentage of Japanese youth gave the response 'Agree' ("Agree" + "Somewhat agree") for "It is wrong to bully the weak, " at 97.9% (same as above: 85.8% + 12.1%). The other statements that elicited agreement from the majority were "One should keep promises, " at 98.9% (same as above: 80.6% + 18.3%), and "If one sees someone in need of help, one should help without being asked, " at 93.1% (same as above: 48.0% + 45.1%).
In contrast, "One is free to do what one wants as long as it does not cause others trouble" elicited the response 'Disagree' from 69.4% ("Disagree" 40.9% + "Somewhat disagree" 28.5%), which was almost 40 points greater than those giving 'Agree' (same as above: 8.5% + 21.4%).
Comparing the five countries, the three statements "It is wrong to bully the weak, " "One should keep promises, " and "If one sees someone in need of help, one should help without being asked" all elicited 'Agree' responses from 80% or more, with there being no differences between countries.
In contrast, the statement "One is free to do what one wants as long as it does not cause others trouble" elicited the highest percentage of 'Agree' responses in France (93.4%). In the other countries, the order was the U.K. (90.9%), the U.S.A. (80.5%), South Korea (67.2%), and Japan (29.9%), a result that indicates a particularly striking difference between Japan and Europe/North America.
Table 7-3-1-4: Social mores: "If one sees someone in need of help, one should help without being asked"
Table 7-3-1-5: Social mores: "One is free to do what one wants as long as it does not cause others trouble"
An analysis of Japanese youth by gender difference shows that there was no gender difference with regard to the three statements "It is wrong to bully the weak, " "One should keep promises, " and "If one sees someone in need of help, one should help without being asked." The statement "One is free to do what one wants as long as it does not cause others trouble" elicited 8 points more 'Agree' responses from males than females (males: 33.8%, females: 26.1%).
Table 7-3-1-8: Social mores: "If one sees someone in need of help, one should help without being asked"
Table 7-3-1-9: Social mores: "One is free to do what one wants as long as it does not cause others trouble"

It’s that time of year again where we start to open the windows, let the fresh air in, and roll up our sleeves for spring cleaning. Just as we prioritize cleansing our homes (and feel so much better after doing so!), it’s essential to our wellbeing that we clear our energy fields as well. The arrival of Spring is the perfect time to shed the baggage that has been wearing on us and renew our spirits.
When we cleanse our own energy, we positively impact other areas of our lives and allow our circumstances to blossom. Here at Hudson Healing Arts, we offer AshWork, a gentle, new paradigm for energy clearing. Humans, animals, situations, and environments alike can benefit from this technique, which provides a new, broader perspective or resolution and a feeling of lightness and calm.
Regardless of the type of issue you’re dealing with, this form of energy work helps to support greater acceptance of yourself, in turn helping you to accept others too. This technique has been successful in addressing everything ranging from pets’ thunderstorm anxieties to human fears of public speaking to transforming a room or house with negative, ‘stuck’ energy.
Have you ever heard the expression (one of my favorites) “Don’t poke the bear”? This non-invasive modality follows that credo - bringing relief and resolution without endlessly harping on the issue (which we all get tired of doing at some point!). Created in 2001 by renowned energy worker Rudy Hunter, AshWork encourages a sense of greater ease in your body, supporting a sense of increased wellbeing.
This form of energy work calms the parasympathetic nervous system, taking us out of fight-or-flight mode to gently shift patterns. This in turn helps to support healing, making it a wonderful shortcut to change and improvement that releases stuck patterns and restores harmony.
At the root of AshWork is the principle that we are much more than we perceive ourselves to be. Everything is energy, and by changing our perception and emotional state, we change our vibrational frequency. This new frequency, in turn, changes our physical reality.
A session begins with identifying the issue at hand (if the session is for an animal, the owner will speak on their behalf). Then, multiple rounds take place where the practitioner will conduct energy work on different facets of the issue, and make time for quiet reflection. Your only job is to relax and receive. After each round, you’ll take inventory to rate how much the problem is impacting your life; the intensity will likely decrease throughout the session.
The act of “noticing” after each round helps the energy work integrate into the nervous system. You’re looking for things that are lighter; a new arrival of a sensation or awareness, perhaps a lifting of something that felt pressing or heavy in some way. Sometimes, the environment you’re in even seems to change. That’s because when the energy field gets cleared, the air, lights, and your perception really does change. Often, a session ends with envisioning your best self or best possible circumstance, helping you gain greater peace and clarity.
After a session, it’s common to feel immediately lighter, more relaxed, and most importantly, less focused on the problem. You may notice improvements in the coming weeks, hours, and maybe months. It’s a way to quiet “the monkey mind,” open yourself up to new possibilities, and also improve your sleep.
Sessions are typically conducted remotely by phone, although it is possible to book in person as well. It’s entirely up to you how often you receive AshWork, though we recommend regular energy clearing for a deeper sense of serenity, stability, and positivity.
It’s important to mention that we always have someone’s direct permission before tapping into their energy field. Also, AshWork is never a substitute for medical or psychological help. Rather, it is a wonderful complement for the health-promoting practices you already partake in.
Receive a 20% discount on AshWork Energy Clearing sessions purchased through May 13. Mention this blog post when you call or email, or click the button below and use the code "Energy20" when checking out.
We also offer gift certificates – it’s a wonderful Mother’s Day gift!
To schedule a session, call Beth, our Advanced Ashwork Practitioner, at (201) 653-7700 ext.1 or send an email to Beth@hudsonhealingarts.com. Please remember to leave your phone number and a few good times to return your call.

Queen Anne's Lace in a parched field.
Last week, I attended a wonderful lecture by biologist, David Haskell (The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature), who urged us to study the life in our own backyard and in so doing gain a deeper awareness and appreciation for the natural world around us. Now, I feel a bit cramped to study life in the small area he observed for a year – a square meter plot (10.8 square feet)! I’m more of an “along-the-highway” observer, and the wildflowers growing on roadsides fascinate me.
During this June weather when those of us on the Cumberland Plateau suffer from the effects of a horrific heat wave and are forced to stay indoors too much, I make a few forays outdoors to tend my domestic plants, which gasp for water. I see leaf wilt daily and flowers struggling to survive, despite the fact that I give the plants a drink twice a day. I had finally discovered deer and rabbit proof plants when the unusual heat wave struck and began to destroy my small garden.
So I’m inclined to confine my nature studies to jaunts in an air-conditioned car, viewing plant life in fields and along the road while traveling from Sewanee to Monteagle or from Sewanee to Cowan and Winchester, Tennessee. The sight that lifts the heat for me is that of Queen Anne’s Lace (otherwise known as wild carrot) growing in white patches along roadsides.
The umbrella-like inflorescence resembling lace reminds me of delicate snowflakes and a cooler time. The leaves look like those of carrots and are said to also resemble some poisonous kin – fool’s parsley and poison hemlock.
Once I admire a plant, I look for information about any practical or medicinal properties it has, and I found that the root of Queen Anne’s Lace can be made into teas, which are used as diuretics and as solutions to get rid of bodily parasites. For overindulgent tipplers, the tea can also be used to treat hangovers, and wild edible chefs use the roots of the plant to flavor soups.
Naturally, the plant bears a queen’s name. The legend ascribed to its name is that Queen Anne, queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland during the 18th century, was fond of doing lace handwork and challenged her ladies-in-waiting to a lace-making contest. However, while working with the lace, she pricked her finger, causing a drop of blood to fall into the snowy lace – thus, the purple floret in the center of the Queen Anne flower inspired the name. An English botanist, Geoffrey Grigson, refuted the legend and related that the name really derives from Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary and patron saint of lace makers. Another story about the flower’s name is more credible – the white clusters simply reminded the British people of the Queen’s headdress.
By the way, the root of the flower is esculent – a new word for me that means edible. However, I prefer looking at the fields of white lace, rather than picking the plants to make soup!
This bold June sun melts.
Years ago, I wrote Their Adventurous Will: Profiles of Memorable Louisiana Women, a book that highlighted the contributions women have made to the culture and society of Louisiana, and a friend told me that I should do a companion piece about memorable Louisiana men. I haven’t followed up on that idea, but in the ensuing years since the remark was made, I've showcased some memorable men in my blogs. Last week, I learned that Johnnie Daniel, my second cousin, who lives in Franklinton, Louisiana, was named “West Washington Parish Citizen of the Year,” and I think that he’s a man who deserves kudos for achieving this honor.
Twenty-nine years ago, Johnnie, an outstanding athlete who excelled in his favorite sport, baseball, slid into first base head first and broke two vertebrae, an accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. At a rehab center in Jackson, Mississippi, Johnnie was told that his parents, Sara and John L., would never be able to take him home and do the things that were needed for his health and stability. However, his parents wouldn’t accept that verdict. Despite their own health reverses at times, they’ve managed his health care with astonishing results and encouraged him to become a contributing citizen in his home town.
Johnnie has the Greenlaw penchant to write (our maternal ancestors), and for many years he has written articles ranging from human interest stories to reports of Town Council meetings for The Era Leader, his hometown newspaper. He also managed the former family-owned business, Johnnie’s Sport Shop, and pursued his early interest in baseball by sponsoring a youth league baseball team, a softball team, a boys’ all-star team and a girls’ all-star team. Johnnie became a regular at the baseball park where he cheered and supported the teams that he sponsored instead of lamenting about his own inability to play. From the photograph of Johnnie, readers can see that he’s an avid LSU Tiger fan and often attends ballgames in a specially-equipped van driven by his father. Once, when we were exchanging editorial comments about a story, Johnnie had to stop our email exchange in midstream to watch an LSU football game – the writing of his story was important, but his interest in athletics is always paramount.
The natural consequence of Johnnie’s work in the field of recreation was his interest in a 115-acre recreation complex that will provide a facility for young people and adults in Washington Parish, Louisiana. Johnnie became chairman of the Recreation District 1 board, and as Citizen of the Year, he was honored for helping to develop public awareness of a recreational complex that has the possibility of being a major economical boost to the town, as well as a major improvement to the athletic facilities for youth and adults, according to Dennie Fowler, Vice-Chairman of Recreation District l. The first phase of construction of the complex should begin at year’s end or in early 2013. Johnnie has written a series of articles lobbying for this development, has spoken in behalf of the facility, and also uses the Internet to promote the project, typing with a pencil strapped to his wrist.
During the years since Johnnie’s accident, I’ve visited him in the home of his parents and observed firsthand their tenacity as a family determined to move past an unfortunate sports accident. Johnnie’s brother Mike has also been a member of the supporting family team that encourages Johnnie’s vision to help young people – there’re no whiners here, just a tightly-knit unit of forward-looking people!
In addition to Johnnie’s civic activities, he builds websites and spends time with his niece Katelyn and nephew Jon Michael.
Regarding his Citizen of the Year honor, Johnnie says “I was shocked…and I’m very humbled to receive it.” I might add that Johnnie often says he’s blessed, and his wide smile underscores his words!
Each time we travel to Asheville, North Carolina, where the artistic life abounds, I feel as though I'm on a writer’s pilgrimage because I inevitably end up visiting the homes of deceased writers. This week, I again stayed at a hotel next door to “The Old Kentucky Home,” the Asheville home in which American author Thomas Wolfe grew up. I toured it for the fourth time! During this tour, I learned more about the 1998 fire that destroyed much of the large yellow frame home that provided the characters and background for Wolfe’s Look Homeward Angel, and I purchased a video that showcased the six-year restoration, which cost $2.4 million dollars. Right now, the home needs a new coat of paint, and I put a small donation in a box reserved for the $35,000 needed to provide several coats of yellow paint.
Thomas Wolfe’s mother, Julia Wolfe, cashed in on the real estate boom of the early 1900’s in the “Land of the Sky,” as Asheville was then called and bought the sprawling yellow house, described as “Queen Anne architecture," in 1906. She left W.O. Wolfe, her husband, in his home on nearby Woodfin Street and took her youngest son, Tom, with her to the Old Kentucky Home on Spruce St. Thomas Wolfe disliked living in the home because Julia made it into a boarding house, eventually expanding it to include 18 sleeping rooms, and Wolfe had to move from room to room almost nightly to accommodate strangers who lodged at The Old Kentucky Home. Wolfe later described himself as a “vagabond since I was seven – with two roofs and no home.” He escaped the boarding house and Asheville to attend the University of North Carolina and under the tutelage of Edwin Greenlaw, an English professor at the university (actually my distant cousin), he began writing apace, later developing a passion for playwriting.
On the same day as the visit to Wolfe’s boyhood home, we traveled south, arriving in Flat Rock, North Carolina to tour “Connemara,” the farm to which Carl Sandburg moved when he was 67. Carl Sandburg, poet, biographer, author of American folk tales, and collector of folk songs, completed more than one-third of his works while living at Connemara atop Glassy Mountain. He had moved there to find the seclusion necessary for writing, as well as to have ample pastureland for Mrs. Sandburg’s goat herd. At this writer’s retreat, Sandburg spent most of the night writing and slept late, but he ate dinner with his large family and recited from his writings at the dinner table, his youngest children restlessly enduring sonorous recitations for sometimes an hour.
Connemara was a large home filled with Sandburg’s library of 14,000 books and old periodicals (he subscribed to over fifty periodicals). The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site has the distinction of being the first park to honor a poet. Connemara sits at the top of a 0.3 mile trail and climbs 100 feet – the height of a ten-story building – and I was winded when we finally reached the summit. Goats still inhabit the area and are relatives of Lilian Sandburg’s original herd. They are Toggenburgs, Saanens, and Nubians, and children who visit with their parents are allowed to make friends with them. At one time, Lilian Sandburg’s goats numbered over 200, and helpers milked 50-80 does twice a day. Mrs. Sandburg gained fame for her dairy goats and for her work improving the herd’s bloodlines and production of milk. Her goat milk and cheese were sold throughout North Carolina.
I was impressed with the video of an interview between Edward Murrow and Carl Sandburg and came away pondering Sandburg’s answer to the question: “What is the worst word in the English language?” Sandburg promptly replied: “Exclusive.” Sandburg’s answer reflects his life as a lecturer who deplored the exploitation of workers and child labor. He also received honors from the NAACP for coverage of the 1919 Chicago race riots and worked to achieve social justice, and garnered the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1940 and in Poetry in 1951.
The last night in Asheville ended on a real “hoop-la,” an event in a downtown Asheville park where hula hoopers, ages three to sixty, danced to T.O.U.C.H. Samadi, an electronic trance dance experience that is popular with those in a program called “Asheville Hoops.” Hoop dancing is touted as a way to exercise and relax emotionally, and the movement to electronic music supposedly transports the hula hoopers to a fourth level of consciousness. The young man in the foreground of Vickie Sullivan's video seemed to be a good example of one who had reached this level.
When you travel with a botanist, you never know where you will stop to examine wildflowers. Yesterday, as we returned from shopping in Winchester, Tennessee, my botanist friend, Vickie Sullivan, and I saw patches of beautiful purple thistles alongside the road, and noticing a hill on which the Musk Thistle (or Nodding Thistle) grew, we drove up the road leading to the patch to photograph the droopy purple flowers nodding on their long stems. As the Nodding Thistle loves limestone soils, Tennessee provides fertile ground for these musky smelling flowers. However, they’re regarded as spiky, nuisance flowers that crowd out other vegetation in pastures and also elicit a lot of roadside mowing.
I first encountered thistles during the 70’s while accompanying Vickie on a field trip near St. Martinville, Louisiana where I helped her shroud thistle flower heads with brown paper bags and tied tightly with a string to exclude pollinators so that she could determine if the thistles flowers could self-pollinate. I also returned with her to untie the bags and clip the heads after they had had time to set seeds. No seeds were produced so that she determined they were self-incompatible. But while we were in the field bagging the heads, she showed me that when she touched the top of a gigantic flower head, the spiky, purple flowers began to move. Of course, flowers aren’t supposed to move, and this was an eerie sight!
Vickie cut off several heads with her plant clippers and let them fall into a white plastic bag, then returned to her lab to determine if the whole flower or a part of the flower moved. When she examined a flower head under her dissecting microscope she saw that the slender, white filaments deep inside the flower shrank when she touched them with a dissecting needle. At the same time white pollen grains oozed out. At their bases, the filaments are attached inside the purple petal tube. As they contract the petal tube and, finally, the entire flower is pulled in the direction of the contracting filament. The flower moves in a circular path as filaments contract as they are touched by pollinators, and touch one another.
In her research, Vickie discovered that the famous botanist, James Small, had noticed this movement many times in other species of the sunflower family of plants while doing research as a graduate student in a Kew Gardens’ greenhouse in London, England during the early 1900’s. However, Small’s observations of this phenomenon weren’t re-examined or even mentioned again in the many hundreds of articles published on the sunflower family following his 1917 publication about the movement of the thistle.
Vickie and several colleagues at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette used chemical analyses, electron microscopy, and knowledge of the plants of the family to discover more about the movement in the complex flowers of the plant family to which thistle belongs. They discovered that thistle filaments require a ten-minute period of rest after contraction before they’ll again respond to touch. During that time, the filaments stretch out again to nearly their original length. When a pollinator comes along and touches the filaments while searching and probing for nectar inside the petal tube, the filaments contract, and the hairs of the style scrape the inside of the anther tube, dislodging pollen from the sacs that line the tube. The style emerges from the top end of the tube, its bristles covered with pollen ready to douse a pollinator.
This touch sensitive response is called thigmonasticity and operates like a nervous system in animals, with chemical messengers opening and closing channels through cell membranes for movement of water and chemical ions. Water is lost from cells of the filaments when they are touched and re-gained when they re-elongate, a process orchestrated by chemical communication. However, botanists still don’t know what the chemical messengers are.
After observing all of this, Vickie and two other colleagues wrote four scientific papers about this subject, published in the American Journal of Botany, Planta, and Protoplasma. The phenomenon of thigmonasticity is an intriguing subject, and it’s an amazing sight when a novice like me first sees thistle flowers responding to touch.
Pliny and other medieval figures thought that the milk of the thistle could restore hair to bald heads, so the plant was even used for medicinal purposes, but its greatest claim to fame involves the Scots who adopted the plant as their national flower. There’s an old legend touting that the reason the Scots love the wildflower so much is that in a battle with the Vikings the ancient Scots were saved because a field of spiky thistles drove the Vikings back, and the flower became an ongoing symbol of protection for the Scots. I think that Vickie should be admitted to the Ancient Order of Thistle in Scotland and England and acknowledged as one of the sixteen Knights and Ladies of that order!
A "frog strangler and root soaker."
This morning I woke up to the sound of rain pattering softly on the roof , a sound that steadily increased to a rapid staccato – a heavy rain that we used to call a regular “frog strangler and root soaker.” When I looked out the window, three deer stared at me from the shelter of trees near the edge of the woods in our backyard, as if they were entreating me to bring them indoors. The shower was welcomed by peonies, lavender, and Dianthus in the small flower beds at the entrance to the back of our home here at Sewanee, but I thought immediately of the relieved corn fields in the valley at Cowan, Tennessee that have been whispering for rain lately. We haven’t had a serious drought since 2008, the second year of our sojourn in Tennessee, when citizens in the small town of Orme, 40 miles west of Chattanooga, had to truck water in three times a week.
In my childhood, rainy days inspired art in our family home. My mother, an artist, brought out boxes of crayons, coloring books, art pads, and, at times, pastels and would sit on the floor or at the oak dining table with us, coloring away for hours during summer downpours in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was also reading time, and until I was seven years old, I thought Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verse was a book written solely for rainy, summer days. Remember “The Rain is raining all around/it falls on field and tree; / it rains on the umbrellas here/and on the ships at sea?” This was a bit of unsophisticated verse, but the illustrations in the several versions of Stevenson’s book of poetry my family owned, gave us a feeling of coziness and safety that lingers with me on rainy days.
“The drought continues here, as does our efforts to maintain extra water at “The Castle” (Gary’s cabin on the Plateau). Yesterday, neighbor Bob came up well before 7 a.m., and we went to see the eaglets (they’re almost ready to fledge, weeks ahead of normal). When we returned, he and I went to the valley for 900 gallons of water. We use his heavy duty pick-up and a flatbed trailer to haul a 1200-gallon tank, which took a bit of effort to get on the trailer. Nine hundred gallons x eight pounds is a lot of weight to pull, even for a big pick-up with lots of torque, so that’s all we put in the tank at a time. Tri-County water, which is what most of Montrose, Delta, and Ouray counties drink, is 25 cents for 300 gallons. We put a quarter in a machine and watch. It’s a very fast pump and quite a deal. So mostly, it’s our time and a couple gallons of gas per load of water.
I repeat this discussion of water to show those of us who’re enjoying rain and plentiful water that we’re blessed right now. In an earlier message, Gary talked of doing a rain dance with his partner, Susan Elliott, which I understand many Native Americans in dry, southwestern regions of the U.S. still perform in late August. It’s an intricate dance in which the men and women stand in separate lines to make zigzag patterns, rather than the usual circular pattern. .The dance is supposed to bring down rain for the entire year, or at least for the dry season.
I don’t know the daily status of New England weather during 1842 when Henry Longfellow wrote his famous “The Rainy Day,” but he seemed to develop melancholia on rainy days and penned some doleful lines about “the day is cold, and dark, and dreary; /It rains, and the wind is never weary…my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; /it rains, and the wind is never weary…” I think Longfellow needed to travel to the West and experience a full-fledged drought to gain an appreciation for this blessing of RAIN!
because she has caught the dew of God.
of his endurance from a muddy cave.
In my leisure time back in the late 50’s, I loved to fish and spend Saturdays floating the Bogue Chitto River with my former husband and his brother-in-law, fly fishing in eddies of the river near the forested swamp around Franklinton, Louisiana. A neophyte at fly fishing, I was fortunate enough to catch many bluegill and sunfish in this wonderful river with its many gravel and sand bars, but my major job, when not fishing, was to watch for logs, which we very often ran over since I was distracted by the other fishermen’s catches.
The Bogue Chitto River arises around Brookhaven, Mississippi and flows southward to Louisiana, through Washington Parish and into the west Pearl River Canal at Bogalusa, Louisiana. Our fishing party would launch a green aluminum “joe boat” in the river near Franklinton and fish the waters all the way to the site of the old “Tavern,” which had a landing near Mt. Hermon, Louisiana. At the time of our fishing expeditions, Mt. Hermon, Louisiana, which is still unincorporated, was a small rural community that probably had half its present population of 2,600.
Last week, I was surprised to get an e-mail from David Miller, the enterprising owner of Mt. Hermon Web- TV based in this small community where we emerged from our all-day fishing trips. David wanted permission to embed my blogs in his website. I searched online and discovered that the site not only covers news in Washington parish, it includes state and national news, international news, TV picks of westerns, cartoons, documentaries; farm programs, daily crosswords, “Chef’s Kitchen,” and now has three blog contributors.
I asked David if he’d tell me more about the establishment of this website based in the hill country of southeast Louisiana near the Bogue Chitto River and to discuss his plans for the site’s future. He agreed to the following interview.
Moore: First, I think that readers would like to understand the concept of Web-TV. Would you explain this concept?
Miller: Web-TV or Internet TV or Online TV (although distinctions can be made between the terms) is simply the distribution of television content via the Internet.
Moore: Did you develop an early interest in communications? And did you major in this subject at a university?
Miller: No, I developed an early interest in business thanks to Mrs. Mary Margaret Burris, who taught at Franklinton High School, and I went on to major in Business Administration at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana.
Moore: What is your main focus or mission for this site?
Miller: I started with a mission to provide more information about local government. When the parish government began considering land-use ordinances, I and many others felt we should have been better informed. And then I realized it was my fault – I hadn’t kept up with what was going on. So, my first focus was to video (and make available on my site) the meetings of parish government, town of Franklinton council, city of Bogalusa council, and parish school board. Once started, I added other content: farm programs, military programs, a news page (News Right Now), links, and much more. We invite your readers to check us out at www.mthermonwebtv.com and send us comments through the contact page.
Moore: Where do you house the equipment for this venture?
Miller: The Mt. Hermon Web-TV studio is located in downtown Mt. Hermon in what was Armett Wascom’s Grocery when I was a teenager. However, the building has over the years been a milk distribution facility (in the 1940’s and early 1950’s), a used clothing store, and a beauty shop.
Moore: How do you get your ads?
Miller: I am terrible at selling ads and need help with this part of the venture. I have made personal contact with some businesses and others have called, wanting to advertise. If someone is running for public office and stops by – he or she doesn’t get away without buying an ad!
Moore: Why did you choose to base your operations at Mt. Hermon?
Miller: We live only a mile from the studio. Plus, while broadband Internet service is not widely available in rural Washington Parish, the studio is located in an area where high speed Internet service is provided by AT&T.
Moore: Were you born at Mt. Hermon and schooled there prior to college? Were your parents interested in the field of communications?
Miller: Yes, I am a native of Mt. Hermon and attended Mt. Hermon School until age 13. Our family moved to Franklinton in 1963, and I graduated from FHS in 1968. My parents, Carruth and Junie Miller, had a dairy at Mt. Hermon but after moving to Franklinton, Dad worked for the Town of Franklinton Police Department where he served as Chief for over 20 years. I returned to Mt. Hermon in 1986 and bought the old home place, including the house where I now live and where my Dad was born in 1921.
Moore: Is this web site your sole business? And what did you do prior to establishing the site?
Miller: Yes, this is my only business. I am devoting most of my time (too much of my time) to Mt. Hermon Web-TV. I retired a few years ago from the State of Louisiana, Probation and Parole Division where I served as Director of the Training Academy.
Moore: As a person who obviously has an interest in the growth of Washington Parish, what do you think the parish has to offer retirees and tourists?
Miller: I do have an interest in the growth of Washington Parish in many ways. For instance, I want residents to have job opportunities, improved access to broadband Internet service, and the infrastructure to be maintained. But I resist some change. I find that the first thing some people want to do when they move to Washington Parish is change it! You know, it’s pretty good like it is. Retirees will find Washington Parish to be well-governed, friendly, blessed with beautiful natural resources, and to have many leisure activities. Tourists are welcomed. The Cassidy Park Museums in Bogalusa, The Varnado Museum in Franklinton, and the Washington Parish Tourism Commission are great places for tourists to start as they check out Washington Parish.
Moore: Do you ever fish the Bogue Chitto waters as I mentioned doing in the introduction to this blog? If not, what are your hobbies?
Miller: No, I’m more of a pond fisherman. I did often “tube” down the Bogue Chitto when I was younger. I have a son and granddaughter who kayak and camp overnight on the river. They love it! My most enjoyable pursuit now is being grandpa to Judith, Gabe, Johnny Lynn, and Piper.
Moore: Any plans for other communications enterprises?
Moore: What do you think of the idea that modern communications and technology are replacing books, concerts, museum visits, and other cultural pursuits that have entertained us in the past?
Miller: It would be a shame if we allowed those cultural pursuits to be replaced. The Internet can be used instead to enhance the things we value. For instance, the Cassidy Park Museums (http://www.museumsofcassidypark.com/about.html ) offer numerous programs, such as “My Story” which features the personal stories from people of our own area to give unique perspective and very local flavor to the times in which they lived. However, those who cannot attend (living out of state/country, for instance) can view the video on our Internet TV site, thereby enhancing the program. Similarly, we should not let attending church services be replaced by watching a church service on television. Watching on television (or on the Internet) is a “next best” alternative to attending a concert, museum or church service in person.
Moore: Thanks for including my blogs on your site and may your “tribe” increase. Speaking of tribes, tell me about your family.
Miller: One of my many blessings is Jo Ann, my wife and partner. Together, we have a blended family of six children and four grandchildren. Thank you very much for allowing me to embed your blog on my site. I enjoy reading it, and I know our readers will also.
Last month I spent several days in Chattanooga, Tennessee and accompanied my daughter and her husband on a shopping spree. Mostly, I watched them shop, but when we went into a bookstore, my shopping spirit suddenly came alive. I picked up a copy of David Magee’s MoonPie: Biography of an Out-of-This-World Snack and began reading about one of the snacks that has been consumed by millions of southerners since a recipe was created for the pies in 1929 at the Chattanooga Bakery.
My experience with MoonPies dates back to fishing trips in the late 1950’s, which I'll mention in a subsequent blog. MoonPies were an indispensable part of lunch when we floated the Bogue Chitto River fly fishing near Franklinton, Louisiana. We didn’t take along RC Cola, but I’m told that this drink was a popular and inexpensive complement to the pie. During the 50’s the song “Gimmee an RC Cola and a MoonPie” became popular and celebrated the success of this inexpensive workman’s lunch.
The MoonPie is a dessert sandwich that consists of two moon-shaped graham cracker cookies, filled with marshmallow and coated in chocolate, banana, or coconut. It isn’t a high fat concoction but the sugar in it is deliciously high. It was first concocted by a chef at Chattanooga Bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee following the instruction of Earl Mitchell, a salesman for the bakery, who had learned from miners in Kentucky that they wanted a filling snack shaped like the moon for their lunch pails. Mitchell returned to the Chattanooga Bakery with the idea to stack one round graham cookie on top of another, sandwiching marshmallow in between and covering the snack with a layer of chocolate. The concoction sold for a nickel and was a big seller in the coal fields, later becoming popular throughout the South, from the Carolinas to Georgia and Tennessee.
David Magee reports that the Chattanooga Bakery doesn’t expend large quantities of its time and resources telling customers how great their product is – the little round dessert pie, about four inches in diameter, sells itself. Of course, there’s the famous MoonPie festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, approximately an hour’s drive from Sewanee, attended by more than 20,000 festival goers. It features a run, a parade, and the crowning of a MoonPie king and queen. I’ve always been a week late for the Bell Buckle celebration, but when I want to ship this dessert to my daughters, I shop in Bell Buckle for the snack. I don’t know whether New Orleanians throw the pies from their parade floats, but Mardi Gras krewes in Mobile, Alabama have been known to throw MoonPies, in addition to the traditional beads, to clamoring crowds.
According to David Magee, 100 million MoonPies are produced annually, and the Chattanooga Bakery is believed to be one of the largest producers of marshmallow in the world. The MoonPie has a phenomenal shelf life of four months.
In the introduction to MoonPie: Biography of an Out-of-This-World Snack, David Magee quotes from one MoonPie consumer in Clayton, North Carolina who claims that the first breakfast she ever fixed for her husband was a MoonPie and an RC Cola, and his book is filled with similar anecdotes extolling the flavor of this snack.
When Magee questioned Sam Campbell IV, third generation leader of the MoonPie company, concerning the number of MoonPies that have been produced in its history of over eighty years, he estimated that three to four billion of the flavorful snack have been produced since the first pie was baked!
Author David Magee is a newspaper columnist and non-fiction author who lives on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. He has also authored The John Deere Way and Turnaround: How Carlos Ghosn Rescued Nissan.

To pass over youth in dull indifference, to refuse the sweets of life because they once must leave us, is as preposterous as to wish to have been born old, because we one day may be old.For my part, my youth may wear and waste, but it shall never rust in my possession.
1700 The Way of the World, act 2, sc.1.
"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Success." LIVE! Magazine. August 1996.
Conservatism, we are told, is out-of-date. This charge is preposterous and we ought to boldly say so. The laws of God, and of nature, have no dateline. […] These principles are derived from the nature of man, and from the truths that God has revealed about His creation. […] To suggest that the Conservative philosophy is out of date is akin to saying that the Golden Rule, or the Ten Commandments or Aristotle ’s Politics are out of date.

Part three of three. Read parts one and two.
Yesterday I wrote of my defeat at the hands of Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army Kim Jong Un and the North Korean People’s Army, and how I lost a nation with the world’s 12th largest economy to a backward state with fewer paved roads than Haiti.
In a game called Next War: Korea, that is.
Painful as that was, losing the Korean peninsula to totalitarianism taught me some surprising lessons, many of which run counter to conventional wisdom about a real war.
Would these lessons apply to a real war in Korea? I’m not sure, and I doubt anyone is. But they’re worth thinking about, all the same.
U.S. and South Korean air forces are together much more powerful than their North Korean counterparts, and are meant to help turn the tide of battle. Unfortunately, the North Koreans have chosen to counter allied air power asymmetrically not by building up an air force, but by attacking aircraft and air bases on the ground.
For the first 10 days of fighting — the most decisive period — allied air power is crippled and cannot perform as intended.
South Korea has a large army, but a major portion of it is in the form of reservists who are called up only after war starts. In the game, the mobilization of reservists was disrupted by commando attacks, leaving active-duty forces to hold the line. I needed more front-line, active-duty South Korean army units capable of working independently in smaller, brigade-size formations.
Sure, the NKAF is mostly a bunch of antiquated aircraft flown by pilots of questionable skill. In effectiveness it ranks far below Western standards. But as the game makes clear, it still has a lot of airframes, each of which could potentially cause problems. A single plane could wreck Seoul’s Inchon airport, or deliver a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
As much as allied air forces would like to, they would be unable to ignore the potential threat of the NKAF and would have to wage the same counter-air campaign they waged in Iraq, at the expense of supporting allied ground troops.
A defense in depth against a North Korean attack would probably count on a defensive zone of 50 miles. Seoul itself is less than 35 miles from the Demilitarized Zone, making a forward-defense strategy necessary. Forward-defense strategies are typically less successful than defense-in-depth. Every bit of ground lost by the allies will hurt.
Since the mid-’90s the North has threatened to turn the South Korean capital into a “sea of fire,” killing thousands or even millions in a merciless, concentrated artillery barrage. A North Korean player of this game may ask himself: why bother?
Raining artillery down on Seoul without an all-out ground assault is a dead end, because it would achieve nothing but guarantee the utter destruction of the Kim regime in a massive allied retaliation. Leveling Seoul would be an act of regime suicide. And as Korea-watchers will tell you, the entire North Korean state exists to ensure the survival of the Kim dynasty.
If the North does commit to war, it must seize hostages — cities, particularly Seoul — quickly or face defeat. It needs Seoul as a bargaining chip, and in more or less one piece. Using artillery to support an invasion is much more compelling than killing South Korean citizens for no particular benefit.
Pyongyang has few friends or allies — certainly none that would join in an invasion of the South. For the North, there is no help coming. On the other hand, South Korea would see waves of American and possibly other Western troops bolstering its defenses.
There is a long list of perfectly plausible in-game reinforcements from allied countries — everything from the U.S. 1st Marine Division to the Australian Defence Force. It is important that the North launch a lightning attack with little or no strategic warning, in order to seize as much terrain as possible. Because the moment the war starts, North Korea’s numerical advantage starts slipping away.
North Korean nuclear weapons, which as far as anyone knows are not weaponized and cannot fit on the tip of a missile or an aircraft bomb, would have a very limited role. Without a delivery system a North Korean nuke cannot be used offensively. The game does model one scenario using the North’s nukes: destroying the port city of Busan presumably by smuggling a device into the city.
Taking out Busan, a major hub for allied reinforcements, would slow the allied war effort — but it would be looked upon extremely harshly and would guarantee destruction of the Kim regime.
The Republic of Korea Navy has gotten an injection of brand-new ships over the last 10 years, including destroyers and amphibious ships. This has allowed South Korea to participate in, for example, counter-piracy missions off the coast of Somalia.
However, these ships have no role in repulsing an invasion by the North. Pyongyang’s small navy is antiquated and can be easily defeated by the South’s corvettes and frigates. There is no real job for an Aegis destroyer such as the Sejong the Great-class destroyers — unlike their American and Japanese counterparts, it can’t even shoot down ballistic missiles.
Nor is there much utility in an amphibious ship such as the South’s Dokdo, which can lift a mere battalion of 700 troops against a Northern land army of more than 7,000,000. One can’t help but wonder if money spent on the South Korean navy would have been better spent on the army.
Although Next War: Korea does include the U.S. F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, the game makes it pretty clear that they’re not necessary fighting North Korea. Older fighters such as the F-15 and F-16, armed with standoff weapons, would do just fine.
But the game includes air units from Russia and China as possible reinforcements of the Northern war effort, which prompts the question: if either country intervened on behalf of Pyongyang, how would that alter the air equation? The introduction of modern Chinese Su-27 fighters and Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers would make the skies much more dangerous, perhaps requiring the U.S. to counter with F-22s and F-35s.
Hopefully we’ll never find out whether these lessons are valid. Are we planning to fight the right war in Korea? Will the next Korean conflict be a re-fight of the first war, or a massive humanitarian disaster and insurgency? Looking for answers in unconventional places like a game is good for us.

SPOILER ALERT – this post is not sewing or knitting related, so feel free to skip it 🙂 However I am sure it is healthy to see I do other things too!
Last weekend I went back to my hometown of Christchurch for my Mum’s birthday. I hadn’t been back since the quakes of February 2011 and I really wasn’t sure what to expect and was prepared for a pretty sad and depressing visit.
Things have definitely changed, most of the CBD is now demolished so it feels a little surreal, but on the flip side what they are doing to cope with such a radical change is quite inspiring. The city is now has a “container mall”. Where there were once buildings are now loads of shipping containers painted up, windows installed and generally done up to look pretty funky actually.
The red arrow shows where the five storey building I used to work in was once located.
The city is pretty much in limbo at the moment whilst it is decided how to rebuild, where and what requirements buildings will need to meet. So many buildings are still to be fully evaluated and may still be demolished in the months to come. It is likely the rebuild project will take 20 years.
Despite all the obvious demolition going on and very little construction, it still felt like people were getting on with it and doing the best with what they have. After all my initial intrepidation I was pleasantly surprised and it is likely I will go back now with little hesitation.
Liz, OH, I am so proud that the visit turned out positive for you.. and the rebuilding is going on. Such devastation.. The restaurant was just beautiful. Sending hugs.
I am so pleased that you had a positive experience from returning to CHCH. I too come from CHCH and I went back in November, 2011 for my girlfriend's wedding which should have been on February 24, 2011, several days after the earthquake. I too was prepared for a sad and depressing visit but I have to say, it was one of the most inspiring examples of the human spirit to get up and get on with it. I was so proud of the people of CHCH. Last night in Australia, SBS TV played a movie about the earthquakes and the impact they have had on CHCH, to commemorate the 2nd anniversary and I know many people are still suffering and struggling, but there is an amazing spirit in CHCH and it was wonderful to see. I use to work in Cathedral Square, so seeing the Cathedral ruined breaks my heart but I am sure something good will come of all of this.
Mmmm..puts the Brissie floods into perspective.
I'm from Brisbane (BTW) which is why I say this.
I watched that doco on SBS and balled my eyes out! I live in Melbourne but have been back 3 times since the big quake. Last time was the first time I had been into the city and I felt such a big hole in my heart. All my city haunts were gone – The Vault, Oxford terrace, Smiths Bookshop, Asko design, Cashel mall, Hoyts8 (demolished when I was there)…The only good thing that happened is that everyone now knows their neighbour and that there is a will and drive to rebuild a truely unique city.

Most of the thousands of miles I have ridden over the years have been for pleasure and to accomplish goals of my own. By getting involved with WAM, it gives my riding a real purpose that is not about me. Riding for Team Sammy has allowed me to help personal friends give back to an organization that helped them when they needed it.
First and foremost I ride to be with my best friend and husband Bill (BTBB: Bill the Biking Bull) to share new and adventurous experiences with him. We have been tandem cycling since 1986 when we purchased our first tandem. It is a sport that we love very much and are passionate about. The benefit from our sport is we get an abundance of exercise on a regular basis and it allows us to enjoy our life riding with wonderful friends while meeting new ones. There are many of life’s lessons learned and one of those is giving back. Cycling has allowed me this opportunity to build in fundraising efforts to give back to a very worthy Foundation such as Make-A-Wish of Michigan. Make-A-Wish is there to help children, and their families get through some very difficult times dealing with life threatening medical illnesses. I am very proud to be a member of “Team Sammy.” It has helped me warm my heart to know I am giving back and making a difference.
Team Sammy was formed in honor of my nephew Sammy, who lost his battle with DIPG (a form of brain cancer). Sammy was granted his Wish, and Make-A-Wish sent his family to Disney World. My brother and sister-in-law invited myself and my parents to go as well. It was a bittersweet trip, as we knew Sammy had only months to live, but it was wonderful. It allowed Sammy, and all of us, to have an amazing trip together, and make some memories that will last a lifetime.
I have supported Team Sammy since the team was formed, by volunteering and helping in fundraising efforts. I decided to actually get on a bike and ride with my team in 2011. Ride....300 miles in 3 days!!! Keep in mind, I had not ridden a bike in over 20 years. You are probably wondering what made me want to do it, or even think that I could. Well, there were many reasons. I wanted the opportunity to raise even more money for the children, and to be part of something truly amazing. I have witnessed the dedication of all the riders as a bystander, but I wanted to be a bigger part of it. I had always respected the riders on Team Sammy immensely for all the work they put into it, and I wanted to be part of that. This decision not only gave me something to be proud of, it also made my parents and team very happy! It also changed my life forever.
The experience was truly amazing. There are hundreds of volunteers, and close to 800 cyclists! The support is amazing. Imagine, all those cyclists, and volunteers banding together for one common cause! Those 300 miles were not easy, (that is the understatement of the year!) But I did it! Crossing that finish line, and getting my medal was the biggest accomplishment for me thus far in my life. The pride I felt was overwhelming. I physically accomplished something pretty incredible. I rode for Sammy. I got to ride with my Dad and my team. Most important, I was a part of raising a lot of money for children who need wishes. Team Sammy received an award for the 3rd biggest fundraiser for Small Teams. Small but MIGHTY we are! This will be my 5th year riding, 300 very long and extremely rewarding miles. I ride for Sammy and I ride for all of the children who still need wishes. 2015 here we come...thank you for helping support myself and Team Sammy!
In December of 2006, the family was in Memphis, Tn., where Sam was being treated at St. Jude. Make-A-Wish had just granted Sam a wish. I knew at once that I had to be part of the MAW tour to grant wishes for other kids. I had known about and had donated to MAW for the past four or five years. This has now become my cause.
For over 40 years, I've participated in running and biking events from marathons to 100 mile bikes rides. In 2004, I was asked to join some friends in a 3 day/300 mile bike tour for the Make A Wish Foundation known as the WAM (Wish A Mile). I thought why not use my abilities to help the kids. Since then, I've ridden for children with life threatening conditions such as cancer, heart and immune disorders such to name a few. The generous donations have helped make dreams come true for the kids and their families, giving them something fun to focus on rather than always thinking about the next medical treatment required to keep them alive. I've met so many great people on this quest to help the kids that the minute I cross the finish line I'm thinking about next years WAM.
Hi my name is Jenna. This is my first year riding the Wish-A-Mile and joined Team Sammy. I'm an avid cyclists and thought, "why not!" So I signed up with my best buddies team.
I am Stephanie Kerner. This will be my 2nd year riding for Team Sammy and have been cycling for over 7 years. I did the WAM for the first time 5 years ago. I am a mountain bike racer and do road races. During my free time I have done 3 half marathons and 3 fulls. I have also done 2 goruck challenges and one goruck light. These challenges are military based events which can last 6-13 hours.
This is why I encourage and support "Make A Wish". Team Sammy was formed after my 5 year old angel grandson earned his wings from a brainstem tumor know as DIPG. Sam's wish, to go to Disney. He had a wonderful time, giggles, rides and stayed at "Give Kids the World" also arranged by Make A Wish. I know all too well what a "Wish" granted to a child means to the child and his/her family. A vacation away from doctors, phone calls, blood draws...for their time away also allows a normal life, one in which they can forget the negatives and enjoy being a family.
I volunteer because my ability to ride is not effective anymore. So to give of myself in other ways makes me feel whole and useful. The loss of little Sammy also affected me and my envolment with Wam is a good way of remembering this brave little boy.

In the wake of recent events I have had time to reflect… Reflect on life, reflect on my family, and reflect on my career… This reflection time has resulted in this letter to you.
I start by saying this: A normal day starts for me by waking up, putting my pants on one leg at a time, placing my bullet proof vest over my heart, buttoning up my shirt, and pinning my Hall Of Waters themed badge to my chest. This is the same routine as many within your community and your country. For many of us, this career is not one that we chose one day out of the classifieds. Many times this is a career that we felt drawn to as young children. Many of us cannot put our fingers on what the initial fascination was to the job; was it the badge? The gun? The cool cars? The flashing lights? The action?
To this day I do not know which one, or combination of these things was the draw for me. Sometimes my mind wanders to the idea that it was a higher power, or fat. No matter the initial fascination, the truth is that it was a part of us for many years, far before we understood the meaning of what it meant to be a police officer.
The truth is, now as an adult, with a wife and responsibilities, I realize that being a police officer is one of the most selfish jobs in the world. I selfishly enjoy the badge, the uniform, and the cool car. More than those material things, I deeply, selfishly enjoy the feeling that I get when I screw in Marion’s light bulb on Excelsior Street, remove the flying, blood- sucking bat from Cheryl’s bathroom on Elms Boulevard and arrest the drug dealer that is selling drugs near Lewis Elementary School. So many of you come to me and thank me for the job I do, hug me, pray for me, and watch my back, just as I do yours. The truth is that when I do these things, almost every one of you will say thank you as I walk out the door and it makes me feel good. I selfishly love the love that you show me.
It is true that not every day do I hear “thank you” or “God bless you,” but when I hear it, more importantly, when I earn it by providing you a service, I feel good. I am selfish.
I now know this is the true meaning of being a police officer.
The country in many places is now in a state of emergency involving the police and communities. The thing that makes me feel good in this rough time period is that many of us at the Excelsior Springs Police Department are working extremely hard to ensure that you trust us, that you respect us, that you support us, and that you love us.
My goal for this letter is for you to better understand me and my co-workers. Also, I want you to feel comfortable walking up to a police officer, or into the police station and ask us to try to better patrol your neighborhood, or inquire as to the reasons why we do certain things, or the way we do them.
If you wonder why you drive through town and constantly see police cars pulling over people, it’s not because we have a quota or need the revenue. Many of us are trying to reduce hazardous moving violations that could lead to an accident or find other crimes such as narcotics, stolen items, or drunk drivers before they kill a family of four. And if you ever find those lights behind you, remember that it is not personal; that one of the reasons above may be the initial intent leading to your citation.
As I drive around your neighborhood at 3 a.m. and notice your garage door open, I now stop my patrol car, notify dispatch where I am, just in case I fail to respond to them in a timely fashion they can send someone to look for me. I then walk to your front door, in the pitch dark, and my palms begin to sweat, my heart beats faster, I begin to look for a safe place to stand near your front door, just in case. I ring your doorbell, hoping that this isn’t the house hiding a wanted man who will never go back to jail, and then you answer the door, likely in your pajamas. I inform you that your garage door is open. You respond, “thank you, I must have forgotten.” Your words make my worries wash away and as you close the garage and return to bed, I set off to find another. I will complete the cycle for as many garages as I can find. Why, you ask? Because I am selfish.
I love this city, more than sometimes my family wants me to. Every day I will suit up and give my best to protect your family. I will give my life for yours, because it is who I am. I will replace your great-grandmother’s light bulb because she has no one else to do it at the moment. I am your Excelsior Springs police officer. I want you to trust me. I want you to believe in your police department.
And Excelsior Springs citizen, I want you to love me.

As a way to let go of the part of the story that no longer fits, we did an exercise from the book, Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping called The Three Letters Process. In this exercise you write three letters (that you DO NOT send) to someone who you feel has wronged you or in some way treated you badly. Choose someone who has been significant in your life and whom you feel forgiving might help to release you from your old story.

We are Belfast's only approved Torquetronix car tuning centre.
E.C.Us (Engine Control Units) were first introduced in the 1980’s as a supposedly more efficient method of controlling engine fuelling, ignition timing, and emissions. The problem lies in the fact that all new cars have to undergo ‘Type Approval’, and part of this is getting the car through the ‘Urban Driving Cycle’ tests. Remote from European driving conditions as they are (the tests are based on a simulated trip around Los Angeles with the resulting Noxious gases collected in a bag for testing) car manufacturers had no option but to comply. In order to meet the stringent requirements, engines are virtually de-tuned to pass the test. As a result the car never performs as well as its mechanically controlled counterpart, with the hesitancy and flat spots thrown in for good measure. This leaves masses of room to re-tune for vastly improved performance, and without infringing any emissions regulations.
How will the map affect my performance?
Depending on what your requirements are and your driving style depends on what your fuel economy will be. If you go for an outright maximum power output and drive it as so, you can expect it to decrease as it would without the map. If you get the map to increase torque low down and drive conservatively then it is likely that fuel economy will improve. In a Diesel to an extent you control the amount of fuel injected with your right foot. The overall consumption is governed by the average RPM over a journey. With more Torque you can stay in a higher gear for longer and so maintain a lower journey RPM and improve economy.
How will the re-map affect the longevity of my engine?
The re-map will obviously increase power output of your vehicle and depending on how you drive depends on how reliable it is for you. If you drive it harder then naturally you can expect to decrease the life of your engine but likewise if you thrashed it without even having it mapped then you would expect this to be the case. In overall terms and additional 30% power increase could be expected to reduce engine life by something like 3%. But in a modern engine which should be good for 300 thousand miles plus if properly maintained this is a very small price to pay.
Is re-mapping better than Chipping or Tuning boxes?
OBD re-mapping is the modern technique replacing chipping. It reads and writes on your ECU via the OBD port and does not invalidate warranties. Chipping your car requires opening of the ECU and installing a pre-programmed chip which is a fix one map suits all. They do not take into account other modifications and are not mapped to suit particular requirements. This is not a resistor that fools your ECU or tricks the pressure sensor on the fuel rail into lifting the pressure beyond acceptable levels. We alter thirty plus maps on some vehicles to achieve the proper results ensuring reliable smooth performance which works hand in hand with the Engine Management Diagnostics Systems.
If you wish to sell the car with the map on then no problem, if you wish to have it reversed back to standard after a period of time then no problem. Usually there is no charge other than travel.
This is up to you. We have to advise that you inform your insurance companies that the re-map has been carried out but it is extremely difficult to detect. Ultimately it is your responsibility.
As we change nothing on your car other than a software map, there is nothing for us to give a warranty on other than the contents of the software against corruption and faults. If for some obscure reason you suffer a problem, we will do our uttermost to help you including returning your car to standard for any testing.
Why should I choose Greenaway over the dozens in the Marketplace?
We develop all our own software and so when we tune your engine we are not simply downloading a piece of software which we know nothing about onto your vehicle. You wouldn’t pay someone to tune a piano by listening to it down the phone and using a middle man to adjust the strings, would you? There are major advantages from having a software engineer work directly on your vehicle such as options to choose power levels and throttle response rates etc. Also if there is a problem it can be dealt with straight away. Other company’s simply download software via the internet from a tuner somewhere who turns out hundreds of files a day and who simply tunes every car the same way. We offer a personal service backed up by years of experience.
Will my car pass the MOT when re-mapped?
All of our conversions are monitored for smoke emissions. Particularly in the 2003 onwards vehicles which have to adhere to more stringent limits.
