My little Tralee is quite the writer. Here are three of her *Love* poems she wrote a few months ago. I kind of adore them. . . and their author.
Love Poem #1
By Tralee
He is the one.
As beautiful as a flower.
As he goes away and away
as I go.
This next one is my favorite. When I asked her who it was about, her cheeks turned pink, and she got all shy. I realized right then and there that Jim and I are going to be in trouble when the hormonal teenage crushing years hit us.
Love Poem #2
By Tralee
He is the one.
As handsome as a honeybee.
He has the twinkle in his eyes.
The honey glow in his cheeks.
He is the one
he is.
Love Poem # 3
By Tralee
The wind is in my hair.
The love is blowing away.
My heart is bumping hard.
Away I go.
Away in the fog.
So what do you think? Do we have a future Shakespeare on our hands? Will these sonnets someday be worth millions? :) Either way, they're priceless to this Mama.

TRAKLOC® Drywall Framing Installation Recommendations
TRAKLOC ICC ESR-1464 approval does NOT require the use of screws; however field experience suggests the use of screws in the following:
- High volume areas like door openings.
- Beginning and end of wall runs, especially with open corners.
- Header assemblies, to provide strength.
- In projects with multiple trades or tight schedules. Placing screws on one side minimizes the need to place studs back on layout.
The thought process for installing TRAKLOC Drywall Framing does not fundamentally differ from installing conventional stud and track in that you will still have open or closed corners, door and window headers, and king and jack studs (as called for in the plans). What you will not have are returns (mitered cuts) or the material build up caused by these cuts as these are replaced with pre-made cripple studs and header clips. But, as with conventional material, installation starts with the track.
Installing TRAKLOC® Bottom Track or Top Track for a Fixed Stud System
As a rule, TRAKLOC track installs the same as conventional track. This applies to top and bottom track, open and closed corners, with the only exceptions being the splice method for top freestanding track, when the Split Lap would become your splice of choice. However, with TRAKLOC track you will want to be a little more conscience of where the layout marks are as using too many pins may interfere when twisting a TRAKLOC stud into place. The only other suggestion would be that when cutting bottom track, also cut a piece for the door opening as this will become the track used in the door header assembly. Except for these two considerations, installation is the same.
Installing TRAKLOC® Studs
You will be amazed at how easily TRAKLOC studs install, and depending on the thickness and wall height, how easily it can be done from the ground. Vertically position the stud between the track, raise the top end (the end with the Stud Extension) until it seats fully into the top track and twist until it becomes perpendicular to the track. It does not matter whether you twist clockwise or counter-clockwise, but you will want to start your twist with the leading edge right on the layout mark. Once twisted, if your stud is not positioned on the top layout mark, just reach up and tap the stud into position, then pull down on the Main Stud while twisting the stud to be parallel to the bottom track and fully seat it into the lower track. Once seated, release the twist to lock the bottom of the stud into the lower track. If the stud is not on the layout mark, simply tap the stud with your boot in the direction it needs to go and you are done. Installation is now complete.
With TRAKLOC there is no need to measure and cut your stud to length, no need to climb on ladders or bakers scaffolds to screw the top into the track, no stooping to screw the bottom into place, less chance of repetitive motion injury, less chance of shards created by the screw from falling into your eyes, and less scrap to trip over on the job site. Real world experience has shown that you will be able to install substantially more lineal feet of studs while expending less energy than with conventional material.
Installing TRAKLOC® Adjustable Stud to TRAKLOC® Top Track
if Deflection at the Head of Wall is required:
TRAKLOC's deflection insert provides a full inch of deflection (+/- ½") while also allowing for 2 inches of stud height variability. As illustrated in the Component section, the deflection insert (TSE w-Deflection) and TRAKLOC's standard insert (TSE) are the same, except the deflection insert has a 3" x ¾" slot punched into the top of each flange. These slots allow the drywall screw to pass through the board and the TSO, while avoiding contact with the TSE.
Corners – Open & Closed
Field installers report that they find open corners to be the better option, but TRAKLOC accommodates both. It has been observed that closed corners involve more cutting and therefore take more time.
It may appear that the V-Grove extends outside the web, but this is not so. At door header assemblies and other intersections of track and stud there is no material build up. When screws would be used, such as door header assemblies, it is recommended to screw into the V-Groove at a 45° angle so the screw head will be recessed.
One of the most substantial time saving elements of the TRAKLOC Steel Framing system is its treatment of headers. Headers are horizontal spans of track used between door and window openings to provide a horizontal screwing surface, as well as support for items such as duct work.
Instead of using miter cuts, TRAKLOC track should be cut to the size of the opening and attached with TRAKLOC Cripples Studs or TRAKLOC Header Clips. With this technique there are two alternatives:
Using TRAKLOC Header Clips requires less material while using all TRAKLOC Cripple Studs will provide more structure to the opening. Either of which are acceptable, but check your plans for guidance.
Half Walls
Half walls are easily adjusted to the correct elevation and level with TRAKLOC Cripple Studs. It is recommended to place screws in the overlap to maintain a level surface and stabilize the structure.
Soffit Installation
Another use for TRAKLOC Cripple Studs are soffits. Soffits can be made on the ground, without cutting, and then installed. Layout four pieces of track and snap in the Cripple Studs where appropriate. Take one of the two "ladders" you have just created and install in the appropriate place as the vertical member, fastening it to the deck. Laser (or level) the bottom track to assure levelness and place screws in the overlaps to maintain its proper positioning. Take your second "ladder" and fasten it to the bottom of the vertical member and the wall studs.

Gruffalo on The Loose!
11 March 2016
In Kindergarten the girls have been retelling the story of The Gruffalo by Julian Donaldson as part of their work on the 'g' letter sound this week.
The girls used the sensory story tray to help them develop their story telling skills by working together.
The girls also painted their own version of a Gruffalo which can be seen marching across the classroom wall.
Then, in the outdoor learning session, the girls made 'Gruffalo' Crumble using the mud kitchen. Delicious!

I used to think that my full name, "Robert Paul Wolff," was unique in America until idly Googling myself one day [yes, I do Google myself -- make of it what you will], I came upon this entry:
"Robert Paul Wolff, of the 23000 block of Walton Avenue, Port Charlotte, was charged Wednesday with resisting an officer and driving with a suspended license."
I guess I had better steer clear of Port Charlotte. [For those of you who, like me, have never heard of Port Charlotte, it is on the western side of lower Florida about twenty-five miles north of Fort Myers.]
Anyone doing a fullscale search of criminal records for the name "Robert Paul Wolff" would come up with an arrest for disorderly conduct in 1986 [anti-apartheid protest at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum] and "resisting an officer and driving with a suspended license" a quarter century later. One could fabricate an interesting story from these data points about an aging leftie reduced in his golden years to petty crimes.

story from the days before widespread internet use while I was an undergrad.
I showed up for the first day of work at a summer job and my new boss greeted me sitting at his desk reading the city paper. "I did not know if you would be coming in today" he said dryly. He then proceeded to show me a small article near the back of the front section showing that "Jim Westrich" (different middle initial, but still) had been arrested for attempted murder the day before. I smiled confusedly but politely and started my work.
It took me a few years but I now think this man was a comic genius.

Until you posted this I thought that that short story I read - and which I read because I figured that your son might be as good a writer as you - was by your son! Now I don't feel at all as guilty that I didn't like the guy's story that much. Well, it was all right.

Mike Daisey Let Journalists 'Treat Him Like A Journalist,' Says Whistleblower
By now, many are tired of hearing about Mike Daisey, the monologist who was exposed for fabricating elements of his show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," which was excerpted by Public Radio International's "This American Life" in January.
But we may see a revival of the scandal this weekend, if it turns out Daisey concealed the then-pending "This American Life" retraction from producers of MSNBC's "Up With Chris Hayes," who appear to have unwittingly provided him a venue to establish his defense.
The International Business Times spoke to Rob Schmitz, China correspondent for American Public Media's daily radio program "Marketplace," who blew the whistle on Daisey's monologue after hearing the version that aired on "This American Life."
"A lot of the details I felt were just not true," Schmitz said of his initial response to the piece.
Among those was a claim that guards at an electronics factory in Shenzhen, run by Apple Inc. contractor Foxconn, were carrying guns when Daisey supposedly visited the site for a few days in 2010. Schmitz, who has been to Foxconn's factory, knew that guards were barred by law from toting firearms.
As has been widely reported, the story quickly unraveled after Schmitz easily tracked down Daisey's translator, a woman named Cathy Lee, who had no idea Daisey was planning a fact-driven stage show around his findings. "She thought it was research for fiction," said Schmitz, who spoke to Cathy and interviewed her for the "This American Life" retraction episode.
Daisey is now defending his fabrications by insisting his monologue essentially was presented as fiction, or at least a dramatization presumed to benefit from storytelling tools that obscured and embellished facts in the service of a so-called higher truth.
He was among a panel of four artists and journalists who discussed the intersection of their crafts on a March 10 broadcast of "Up With Chris Hayes," in which Daisey's stage show and the Kony 2012 viral video -- a charity's take on a fugitive Ugandan warlord -- were invoked as examples of cultural artifacts that simultaneously entertain and inform the public.
Did Daisey Willfully Mislead MSNBC?
According to Schmitz, Daisey's interview with Ira Glass for the "This American Life" retraction episode was taped more than a week before its March 18 airing. He believes the first interview took place on Thursday, March 8, which was two days before Daisey appeared on Chris Hayes's news-discussion program.
A request to "This American Life" for corroboration on the date of the Daisey interview wasn't immediately returned.
"Up With Chris Hayes" executive producer Jonathan Larsen addressed the retraction in a statement published on MSNBC.com last Friday, March 16: "When we booked him to appear, we were not aware of the issues raised today by 'This American Life.' As it happened, various other events in the news at the time led our conversation to turn to those very same issues -- truth-telling in art or entertainment."
With the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to imagine that Daisey may have been practicing his upcoming defense during his panel appearance on MSNBC.
"As you get involved with ... a growing movement there becomes incredible tensions between the artistic experience on the stage, which is a story ... that exists to evoke human connections to our [electronic] devices to make us care," Daisey said on the air.
"Literally, even from [the monologue's] birth, there was no way to capture, frankly, didactic elements," Daisey added later. "There are limits, as a monologist, to what in that compressed time you can give people."
It should be noted that Larsen's statement says only that producers didn't know about the "This American Life" controversy when they booked Daisey. It doesn't address whether they were aware of the retraction at any time before March 16.
Hayes on his show did refer to the "This American Life" fact-check -- but a fact-check was done before the monologue excerpt aired in January. On March 16, the MSNBC host wrote on Twitter a message that indicated he was unaware of the retraction until then: "Seeing the news about Mike Daisey and struck by how uncannily prophetic our conversation was about journalism & truth."
Hayes also re-tweeted messages that were critical of Daisey.
Whether Hayes or MSNBC producers knew about the scheduled retraction in advance, questions remain about to what degree -- if any -- Daisey's pending crisis contextualized the discussion.
IBTimes was unable to reach Larsen to comment, but according to his publicist, the show will be giving a formal response this upcoming weekend.
"Up With Chris Hayes" airs separate, live programs on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 to 10 a.m. EDT.
'You Only Tell The Truth By Telling A Few Lies'
It remains to be seen whether the MSNBC show's producers feel duped by Daisey. But at least one person who interviewed him -- prior to the original "This American Life" segment in January -- doesn't believe Daisey owes any apologies.
Author and broadcaster Andrew Keen interviewed Daisey for TechCrunch TV on multiple occasions in 2011. "After the 'This American Life' retraction story broke last week, my producer sent me an email saying I should be annoyed with him for lying," Keen said. "But I'm a big Mike Daisey fan and defender."
Keen said the he treated the interview as a performance, and criticized the backlash against Daisey as overblown. He characterized "This American Life" as a "priggish show, put on by prigs, listened to by prigs.
"I probably should be a little more disappointed with him than I am," Keen reasoned. "But he's a great performer. He's gotten this issue on the table; it's an important issue. And you only tell the truth by telling a few lies."
Keen believes that Daisey's work has been an essential part of the dialogue about labor conditions in China and has insisted that "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" as well as news interviews with Daisey never purported to be anything more than an act.
"When you talk to Mike Daisey, you are talking to the media personality Mike Daisey," Keen said. "You're not talking to a journalist."
When pressed further about whether Daisey might have presented himself as a journalist even though he has never clearly identified as one, Keen said, "If he'd have written an op-ed in the New York Times and made those claims, then that is bad."
But Daisey did write an opinion essay in the New York Times, which the newspaper has since revised in the wake of the "This American Life" retraction.
"I don't think that's admirable in any way," Keen quickly responded after being told about Daisey's Times piece. "He shouldn't have done it."
Regardless of whether Daisey's actions were right or wrong, Keen feels that the monologist's place in the media landscape should be preserved, and that we shouldn't subject Daisey to a witch hunt.
"Audiences have to become more sophisticated," Keen said. "There are more and more hybrid, creative people in the economy. The old categories don't work anymore."
A 'Higher' Truth?
This echoes, to some degree, Brooke Gladstone's discussion of what she described as a ''truth in labeling problem" when she appeared Monday, alongside journalist Schmitz, on "The Brian Lehrer Show," on New York public radio station WNYC.
"I think the big problem with the story here is most of us understand that when somebody asserts that something happened to them, it did," Gladstone, who is host and managing editor of public radio's On the Media, told IBTimes in a phone interview. "Yet there are forms, such as theater, and essay and others that believe in a kind of 'higher truth' which is conveyed with more power by tweaking some of the details."
Asked if she felt Daisey was communicating such a higher truth in his partially fabricated monologue, Gladstone inverted Daisey's self-defense, saying: "It doesn't matter whether or not the thrust of it is true if the details are faked, tricked up and manipulated. In fact, it's terribly dangerous, because that enables a casual news consumer to console themselves with the idea that there is really no story there at all."
Which is exactly what Daisey has been complaining about. But in his view, he's not accountable for causing the public to lose sight of the more important issue -- the media are.
"Given the tenor of the condemnation, you would think I had concocted an elaborate, fanciful universe filled with furnaces in which babies are burned to make iPhone components, or that I never went to China, never stood outside the gates of Foxconn, never pretended to be a businessman to get inside of factories, never spoke to any worker," Daisey wrote Monday on his blog.
"Especially galling is how many are gleefully eager to dance on my grave expressly so they can return to ignoring everything about the circumstances under which their devices are made. ... There is nothing in this controversy that contests the facts in my work about the nature of Chinese manufacturing."
'It Makes All Of Our Jobs A Lot More Difficult'
Despite what Daisey would have audiences believe, there are serious journalists who have devoted their careers to reporting on conditions in China. Schmitz, who has spoken with workers in Shenzhen and who is planning more in-depth reporting relating to labor conditions in Chinese factories, believes Daisey has in some sense undermined the work of reporters who don't have the benefit of the storytelling tools Daisey uses to capture the imaginations of theater audiences.
"I and many other journalists and academics have invested parts of our lives in explaining China to the outside world, and for all of us, this is a big responsibility because China can be a difficult place to understand," Schmitz said.
"So it's hard to watch someone like Mike Daisey, who spent less than a week in China and who then returns home, seeks out the media and tells lies about what he saw, helping shape the public perception about China," he added. "It makes all of our jobs a lot more difficult."
Though Schmitz acknowledges that Daisey never said he was a journalist, he finds him accountable for allowing "journalists to treat him like a journalist."
Schmitz agrees with Daisey about the potential of the media controversy to overshadow the real story in China, but he isn't convinced that Daisey minds all that much that he is the source of the distraction.
"This is not about Mike Daisey and it's not about 'This American Life,'" Schmitz said. "I fear that the way the story is going to be told in the press is going to be all about him. And that's exactly what he wants."
What Schmitz wants is for more people to come to China and see the truth for themselves.
"I encourage you to come to China and speak to workers," Schmitz said. "When you get to the gates of Foxconn no one is going to be pointing a gun at you."

This cafe resides on Little Collins street near the Spring street end. The empathsis is on fresh, healthy, wholesome and utterly delicious food.
Space is limited and can be a bit of a squash during the usual busy lunch hour. But this place was well worth the short wait I had endure to get a table. Luckily for me though, I had arrived just before one thirty in the aftermoon, just as some of the office workers were finishing their lunch. Get here for two o'clock and you are pretty much guaranteed a table.
The menu is short and sweet, with some gluten free options. There is enough to entice the healthy diner who loves good food without compromise. Being a cold Autumnal Melbourne day, I wanted something hot and chose the 'chilli infused vegetable soup' (which was the soup the day).
It arrived steaming hot garnished with coriander leaves and a serving of wonderful wholegrain bread. It made such a refreshing change to get served wholegrain as opposed to the usual white bread that cafes normally serve with soup. For us healthies, it's a sigh of relief.
Apologies for the rubbish picture, the photo really doesn't do it justice. Plus the fact that I had already eaten about a third of it before I remembered to get my camera out. It really tasted so much better than it looks - seriously!!
The soup went down a real treat and I loved the mild heat of the chilli. It was subtle enough to provide a wonderful kick to the soup amongst the chunks of delicious veggies.
I followed with a skinny flat white - which tasted so good, I simply had to have a second. At $2.90 each, this was cheapest flat white I've had in this city so far. And they were really good ones at that.
It's a no-brainer to see why this place gets busy at lunch time, and I can understand why they do so much takeout business too. The food is really good, really tasty and really healthy. Staff are super friendly too. And I love the fact that patrons can sit on the counter bench to have their lunch whilst taking in the hustle and bustle of this bijoux cafe.
A great cafe for a spot of lunch or just a coffee.

About Us
Urgency & Opportunity
"Ensuring the health and well-being of children in the U.S. has never been more critical to the nation's economic and political future. The massive Baby Boom generation is aging and retiring at the same time that birth rates are declining…Beyond our moral obligation to care for children for their own sake, our future economy, our standard of living, and our place as a leader in the world demand that children become our highest priority."
The New Importance of Children in America
2018 CA Children's Report Card
California is home to 9.1 million children ages birth to 18 years old. Of those children:
4.4 million, or nearly half, live in immigrant family
2 million, or more than 1 in 5 children, live in poverty
5% of children living below the Federal Poverty Level live in immigrant families
1 in every 2 children, or 51%, are Latino
36% of Latino children live in poverty
22% of California children are English Learners (EL)
84% of EL students are Spanish speakers
School Readiness - Learning Begins at Birth
Early experiences shape a child's brain development for future learning, behavior and success. Without that strong foundation, children - especially low-income children - will be behind from the start.
Only 47% of three and four-year-olds are enrolled in preschool and more than 33,000 four-year-olds from low-income households are unserved
Only 13% of low-incom children are enrolled in high quality preschools
60% of Latino three to five-year-olds comprise the largest percentage of children without preschool
Reading and Math
Proficient readers are more likely to graduate from high school, and go to college. Those who fall behind in the early grades often stay behind. California Department of Education report the 2017 Smarter Balanced results:
6 out of 10 Latino and African American children are not on grade level in English with more than 7 out of 10 Latino and 8 out of 10 African American children are not on grade level in Math
Only 31% of African-Americans and 37% of Latino students met or exceeded standards for English Language Arts compared with 76% of Asian and 64% of white students
Only 21% of California Economically Disadvantaged children Meet or Exceed Grade-Level Standards in Math versus 52% of Non Economically Disadvantaged
Post-Secondary Success
GreatSchools 2017 Report Reveals a Tale of Two School Systems in California. This gap has profound implications for the economic divide that grips our region and nation.
High schools are not preparing all students for eligibility at the University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) systems
Only 41% of students graduate from a school where the majority of students are eligible for UC/CSU enrollment
Only 22% of African American and 19% of Hispanic students attend a school where the majority of graduates in their racial group are UC/CSU eligible, compared to 58% of white and 91% of Asian students
Only 9% of low-income students will complete college compared with 77% of affluent students
Urgency Leads to Opportunity
The urgent needs present us with an OPPORTUNITY to deliver high quality, innovative, and comprehensive programs where we honor, listen and learn together as a community to ensure that we don't leave behind another generation of children and youth.
We're Here to Help!

Wow! Isn't she amazing! Is it possible that just highlights can make her a bit different? Well, yes for our sexy Jennifer. Jennifer Lopez looked astonishing in an extra sexy green sequin body suite. Her face, hair, body, simply everything was too perfect. She is definitely the best icon ever.
On June 12, she hit the stage with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte to sing the official FIFA song "We Are One (Ole Ole)" for the games. Then everyone noticed her flawless look. Everyone was hoping that the song will never end. Her amazing new hairstyle was thanks to the Jennifer's colorist Tracey Cunningham for the highlights.
Tracey posted a pic of J.Lo on her Instagram on June 12, writing: "I mean could she be anymore beautiful @jlo ? She has a very light base (level 7) naturally!
Jennifer Lopez's World Cup Makeup
Not just the highlights. Jennifer had attractive make up done. Her eyes were smoky and stunning gold with thick black eyeliner. The cheeks were a dark bronze, and her fabulous book was finished just a shiny pink lip gloss.
To see for yourself here are some amazing pictures. What do you think of J.Lo's new highlights?

Buying a new car is an adventurous journey, especially when you are purchasing your first car. It is one experience which you will cherish for the rest of your life and there is no doubt that the car we own is a very prized possession which we admire and appreciate. Buying a car is a really exciting affair, yet the entire procedure can be a stressful one, especially since we are making a huge investment to experience luxury.
Purchasing a home, paying for higher education and purchasing a new car are all the heavy investments in our life which makes our dreams come true. There is no doubt that purchasing a car is a costly affair yet there are steps which you can follow that will help you to save money on your car buying process and will surely ensure that you need not give up your dream of owning a car.
Tips to Follow to Save Money during Car Buying
1) Firstly, you need to go and search for both new and used cars. In case your aim is to buy a second or a third car for the family, then you can go in for a used car which will help you to save money on its purchase as well as on the cost of insuring it. There are specific car dealers who are known for offering certified pre-owned cars which is sold with the manufacturer warranty and these cars are available at a fraction of the new cars.
2) You should have an idea of the features you would like your car to possess and ever, you can select the car which has all the relevant features which you would like your car to have. Most of the standard car models are known to have safety and comfort features and the adding of options such as a navigation system and the presence of alloy wheels will certainly assist in decreasing the overall cost of the car.
3) Most of the dealers are known to offer great incentives and you can check out these deals which are provided by various dealers. You can either go in for a low interest rate loan or for cash back incentives which is bound to save you lots of money. Most of the dealers can come up with amazing incentives as per your requirements so you need to analyze the incentive offers which are able to offer you the maximum savings on your car purchase.
4) You need to have a good idea of what kind of financing options is open in front of you. Do not be under the assumption that there are only auto dealers who are able to provide you with car loans. You will be surprised to learn that even banks offer you great terms on their car loans.
5) It would be a wise decision if you visit car dealerships at the end of the month as salesmen need to meet their sales quotations at this point in time and they would like to canvas new customers by accepting genuine incentives which you may put forth.

God is always on time and sometimes the timing isn't always ours. We have been so very blessed here.
I want to love on a few people that we have worked with here, they have taught us some valuable things and knowledge.
Jim and Ruth have been full-timers for almost 12 years! They have enjoyed 43 years of marriage and have 3 grown boys. Jim is retired Navy and Ruth is truly the funniest comedian! She has a quip for most things and is real! They made it fun here for us. They are on their way up north from FL, through some highways and byways and lots of visiting family and friends.
Kathy and Jim have been following God for a long time. They are Pastors and have had life changing experiences and teach wonderfully.
Pat and Ken have been full-timing for 3 years but retired for a few more than that. They have taught us how important it is to keep our word. They will be working up the road from us in Michigan. We look forward to meeting up with them and really getting to know them.
Sue and Randy - Sue has taught us to clean well. She has been instrumental in helping us be able to go to church with my dad. She knew the importance of our obedience to the Lord and to ensure that my dad had a relationship with the Lord. Thank you Sue.
Gaston and Nicole- life wouldn't have been much fun w/o them! Gaston and Nicole are French Canadian and work camp in the winters here. They have been here for 7 seasons. They both graduated from Bible College here and they are wonderful and so fun! They are treasures in our memories!
Hilda and Richard- Hilda, God has a plan for your life. He has a plan to wash away many things and I love you. Richard you are a hard worker.
We have had the priveledge of meeting some snowbirds too. They have been fun to know.
We have worked with a few others, but those above are who really touched out lives in a valuable way.
Some late blooming friends we have been blessed to know too, Genelle from Bible study, Kevin and Elaine from the Vineyard, Ramone and Maria, Earl and Helen. You have enriched our lives!
As we come to a close in the next few weeks here in Milton, we have really enjoyed the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival, the beach at Navarre, Hwy 30 A road trip, dinners at Shrimp Basket and our visits with our daughter and her family.
We have enjoyed getting to know our grandbabies, for sure dude!
Our ministry is like it says on our title, Camp Saints - No Walls Ministry. We reach beyond the walls of the church to those who believe or don't believe and perfect the saints for Jesus. Christ in Action Meeting People where they're at.

Hampton Sandwich
This Hampton Sandwich is one of those fancy salads on a sandwich! Grilled chicken, arugula, Gorgonzola, craisins, pesto, and walnuts. Topped with some shaved Parmesan, it's delicious. Eat it hot or cold. It's good either way.
Back in college, there was a local sandwich place that I frequented often (Gandolfos). All of the sandwiches had names of places in and around New York. When I was coming up with this sandwich I knew I wanted something fresh. I thought of all the things I like in a good salad and piled them onto a bagel. Since the sandwich seemed somewhat refined and elite, I called it The Hampton. I've never been to the Hamptons but from what I've heard, it's a classy place.
Can we talk about why we don't eat all sandwiches on bagels? They're amazing. You can toast them or leave them plain. Either way…so good. This sandwich has so many layers of flavor. Instead of mayo, pesto is spread on the bagel and topped with grilled chicken. Arugula adds a little freshness and bite while the sweetness of the cranberries compliment the tang of the Gorgonzola cheese. I tried this sandwich cold and warm and both ways were divine. Hope you love it as much as I did!
Hampton Sandwich
This Hampton Sandwich is one of those fancy salads on a sandwich! Grilled chicken, arugula, Gorgonzola, craisins, pesto, and walnuts. Topped with some shaved Parmesan, it's delicious. Eat it hot or cold. It's good either way.
- 4 Thomas Plain bagels
- ½ cup basil pesto
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
- 1 cup arugula
- ¼ cup gorgonzola cheese crumbles
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
- Split 4 Thomas Plain bagels and spread each inside with 1 tablespoon of pesto.
- Divide the chicken evenly into fourths and place it on top of the pesto of the bottom slice of bagel.
- Layer ¼ cup of arugula on top of the chicken on each sandwich. Top 1 tablespoon each of dried cranberries, walnuts, gorgonzola, and Parmesan.
- Place the top bagel slice on top and serve.
- Tip: This sandwich can be served warm or cold. To serve warm, heat in the microwave after Step 2 until warm. Add toppings and serve. To add a little crunch, toast the bagels before preparing.
I was compensated by Thomas Breads. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What would life be like without money?
Some believe it will only be three to five years before money goes out of fashion and a truly cashless society emerges. So, let's tackle that intriguing question for 21st-century citizens. If you have ever tried to avoid using notes or coins in your day-to-day life, you should be able to answer the question: What's life like without having…

Whether it's the wildlife, scenery, or people you remember most, Africa is out on its own for sheer scale, variety and dramatic impact. It's an extraordinary place that will entice you back again and again, from the elegance and charm of Cape Town to the primal attractions of the Serengeti and the impossibly-perfect beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean.
With its gleaming towers rising out of the desert, constantly sun-drenched beaches, world-beating designer shopping and fabulous hotels, the UAE serves up the very last word in urbane glamour, while Oman is a stylish and sophisticated choice for those looking to enjoy the very best Arabia has to offer.
How can you begin to sum up Asia? Mysterious, majestic, surprising, spiritual, energetic, enticing… it's all those and more. A trip here is a true voyage of discovery, not least because its cultures and history have been hidden to Western eyes for too long, and with so much to explore, you'll be back time and again.

Miley Cyrus gracefully covers the March issue of Marie Claire, the US edition. Looking extremely beautiful, the 18-year-old star talks in the interview for the magazine about her parents' divorce, the fact that she never claimed to be perfect, but also about the "bong incident", which she truly regrets, and the make-out pictures with teen actor Avan Jogia.
Miley Cyrus is on the March 2011 cover of
US Marie Claire looking amazing in a stunning Roberto Cavalli gown. Inside the
magazine, the teen actress/singer opens up about the less happy
moments in her life and those that caused major controversy,
proving once again that no one can reach perfection.
In fact, in the interview for the magazine, Miley says that she never claimed to be perfect and that she really regrets for having disappointed her fans.
"What I never wanted was for my fans to ever feel like I betrayed them ... to feel like I said I was something, then turned around and was something that I'm not. But I've never, ever claimed to be perfect. I mean, since I've started the show, I've always said, 'I'm gonna make mistakes.' I know this. And I think that that is one of the reasons why people related to me. Why kids related to me."
There is no doubt that the "bong situation", when Miley was caught smoking
salvia out of a bong, was one moment that made Miley have
that feeling of betrayal. However, the teen queen says she regrets
the incident, explaining that she made a mistake "I'm disappointed
in myself for disappointing my fans…"
She also believes that there are other people of her age doing the same thing, yet since they are not role models, things are different. "But they're not Miley Cyrus. They're not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for."
Last year, Miley's parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus, decided to divorce after 17 years of marriage and five kids. Miley admits it wasn't easy to pass through this tough experience, yet she wants her family to be happy. "Of course, anyone is going to be upset when there are troubles in their family, but I have a lot of hope in our family, and no matter what happens, we're gonna stay strong," she says.
Miley also commented about the Avan Jogia story claiming that
she kissed teen actor Avan Jogia during her 18th birthday party.
"If you look at the picture, I'm turned away, and he's kissing me
on the cheek. It's very hilarious to me that people say, 'They're
making out.' In making out, there's a tongue," she said.
As for her career, the teen sensation knows what she wants and that is making people smile. "Physical comedy is my thing. I love it. I still have a lot to learn, of course ... but I've been on 'Hannah Montana' long enough that I know how to fall; I know how to put a pie in my face and make it funny. And there's no better feeling than making someone smile." Her latest project is the movie "LOL" in which she co-stars alongside Demi Moore and Ashley Greene.

The Adapted Physical Education program at MJC provides exercise for students with physical/medical limitations. The instructor will develop individualized exercise programs for each student, which if necessary are carried out with the assistance of trained instructional assistants and student assistants.
The Adapted Physical Education Program offers a range of courses to meet the fitness needs of students with disabilities. These include strength development and total fitness exercise programs. Our curriculum is designed to accommodate an individualized program development as well as group instruction. The program is run in a classroom filled with state of the art regular and adapted exercise equipment.
The program is currently taught by one full-time and several part-time faculty, and supported by two instructional assistants and student assistants. The Disability Services Program at MJC works cooperatively with the Adapted PE program and provides a portion of the support services available in the program.
Class Descriptions
It is Recommended that students be registered through Disability Services or provide medical verification upon enrolling in a class.
PE-A 140 Adapted Strength Development

Armchair Empire, The (Nov 13, 2003)
Fans of the original should not be disappointed with Redeemer. It's a great mix of what gamers loved about the original and some welcomed upgrades that don't detract from the experience. A recommended title.
GameZone (Nov 13, 2003)
Redeemer is not only an improvement from the first game of the Hunter: The Reckoning series but it's also an addictive action-packed game that's highly entertaining. While the game is great as a single player experience, this one was meant to be played with a group of friends who enjoy a marathon of good old-fashioned slaughter. Action fans, this game won't disappoint.
XBox Solution (XBS) (Nov 09, 2003)
Hunter the Reckoning: Redeemer promises to be great fun when playing with three friends and taking on the swarm of enemies that endlessly come storming on your positions. For those looking for a great challenge in completing games 100% then this is the game for you. Redeemer also contains multiple difficulty levels, one which can be unlocked later on. For both casual gamers and the hardcore crowd, Hunter the Reckoning: Redeemer is a great addition to any library.
DreamStation.cc (Dec 02, 2003)
Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer is a great game for a group of people to play or just one person. Too bad there is no Xbox live support to play online but you are able to download extras using the Xbox Live service, so all is not lost. The soundtrack is a little weak but it does not take away from the gameplay. This is not just a walk in the park game, it is a little on the difficult side. Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer ends up being a good game. For those who are fans of Gauntlet this would be a great game to add to your collection.
IGN (Nov 10, 2003)
Hunter the Reckoning Redeemer is a fun game that definitely should be played with friends. Of course, every game is more fun playing with buddies whether in person or online (now there's and idea!), but really this is the way Redeemer was meant to played. It's an upgrade over the original, but I'm not sure if it's enough of a boost to justify another purchase if you're not a true diehard fan of Hunter the Reckoning. The game does what it set out to do; it just wasn't trying to do too much more than the original Hunter the Reckoning. Improved visuals and new goodies certainly count, but there's a next level for this series that Redeemer just doesn't reach. Improving on the Gauntlet multiplayer concept was one thing with the original Hunter, but now that we've seen they can do it, there needs to be more.
Adrenaline Vault, The (AVault) (Nov 25, 2003)
Hunter: The Reckoning – Redeemer improves upon the original title in many ways, but some fundamental flaws still slightly hamper the game as a whole. The procedure for awarding continues is definitely far too liberal and though the combo system has been greatly improved, the controls still need to be simplified to make them more practical. Still, the hack and slash gameplay is about as addictive as it gets, and fans of the genre should have no qualms over purchasing this one.
Game Over Online (Nov 20, 2003)
Inevitably, Redeemer's gameplay comes across as completely stale, which is a pity because this is most likely the last console game in the World of Darkness (White Wolf is stopping the series next year). Considering Wayward was a strong game that radically expanded the Hunter series, you'd expect Redeemer to propel the series forward with even more features from the pen and paper game. Unfortunately, a ton of technical issues, stale gameplay and an incredibly short duration makes this a weak ending to the series.
4Players.de (Dec 23, 2003)
Hack`n´Slay-Fans aufgepasst: Mit Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer steht ein spaßiges Haudrauf-Spiel in den Läden, das mit Detailverbesserungen im Vergleich zum Vorgänger lockt. So bringt das Erfahrungssystem inklusive der nun möglichen Kombo-Attacken etwas mehr Tiefe in das Gemetzel. Und dies ist auch bitter nötig, denn das Missions- und Rätseldesign ist jämmerlich abwechslungslos. Daher kommt es im Einzelspieler-Modus leider recht oft zu Motivationshängern, aber die fetzigen Gefechte mit der eingängigen Steuerung fesseln euch nach kurzer Zeit wieder ans Pad, bis ihr, leider viel zu schnell, den Endboss erlegt habt. Richtig viel Charme versprüht Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer aber erst im Multiplayer-Modus, denn die kooperativen Kämpfe sind pure Alltagsleben-Killer. Wer auf der Suche nach einem guten Hack`n´Slay ist und bereits den Vorgänger mochte, sollte sich die aufgepeppte Zombiejagd unbedingt anschauen.
GameSpot (Nov 04, 2003)
Overall, Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer is a pretty standard Gauntlet-like hack-and-slash. It lacks the depth of games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but it never pretends to have any real RPG component. If you're in search of a cooperative action game to play with friends, Hunter works, but it certainly isn't the most exciting game in town.
GamePro (US) (Oct 28, 2003)
Redeemer's graphics and sound design are mixed bags. Slick, detailed visuals are marred by inane camera work, and while the creature, explosion, and limb-whacking sound effects are all boffo, developer High Voltage should have jettisoned the dance beats and synthetic guitar strains for something more along the lines of Slayer. In all, Redeemer is a fun if empty ride.
XboxAddict (Dec 01, 2003)
In short, HTRR is a second helping of same-same for those who truly grooved on the first installment – which is available as a $29 Platinum Hit bargain-title. If you haven't played Hunter: The Reckoning first, save the additional $30 and go pick up the first one. It's a good co-op jump-in-and-play party game, but there isn't nearly enough substance here to justify a new-release price point. Additionally, don't be fooled by the bright orange Xbox Live banner across the top of the case – this one doesn't have Live multiplayer, though that might have justified picking up the sequel. Downloadable content, as yet unspecified, is about all you can hope for right now.
Gaming Age (Nov 26, 2003)
Ultimately, I can't shake the feeling that when I first popped Redeemer into the tray and fired it up I was incredibly disappointed to find almost the exact same game I played more than a year ago. It looks very good, much better than the first, and killing waves of the undead and mutated is nice, but there's a reason I didn't play through the first Hunter multiple times. If you've never played the first one, Redeemer is an entertaining, but repetitive, beat-em up action game with lots of style. But if you've played Hunter already, you'll be wishing the time between games had been used to make Redeemer a little deeper and more interesting than this repetitive slash-fest.
Jeuxvideo.com (Nov 25, 2003)
C'est étrange, j'ai l'impression de refaire exactement le même test que pour le Wayward sur PS2. Remarquez, on peaufine un peu plus les graphismes d'un côté, on garde toutes les qualités (et défauts) du premier Hunter, et zou on obtient un nouveau beat'em all ben fendard à 4 mais qui se termine un peu vite et qu'on aura beaucoup de mal à reprendre une fois bouclé.
Game Critics (Jan 21, 2004)
Personally, I enjoy these games in spite of the flaws. This doesn't mean High Voltage should maintain the status quo (because already, only three games into the series, the formula is showing signs of age). Each subsequent return to the haunted town of Ashcroft may bring less in the way of innovation to the table, but there's always a good scare or two lurking somewhere. I'm simply glad I don't own land therethe property values must be terrible.
Game Revolution (Nov, 2003)
Hunter: The Reckoning: Redeemer makes a decent rental when you know you're going to have the guys over or if you live in a dorm and have them built in. But there are many better game choices out there that won't sit on your shelf gathering dust when your friends leave. Now to get back to my lawsuit against The Neverending Story for false advertising.
GameSpy (Nov 16, 2003)
Hunter: The Reckoning was the first game to deliver Gauntlet-esque four-player arcade action on the Xbox, but that was a long time and a lack of competition ago. With its retread gameplay and its horde of quirks, Redeemer is usually more annoying than fun, and a would-be franchise gone awry. The only reason to play this instead of D&D Heroes or Dark Alliance II is if you're a horror geek instead of a fantasy geek.

Dasho: Well, did not you read the papers? The government just borrowed more rupees. That is the final solution the government offered.
If it be then how can we go ahead la?
Dasho: There are ways to go about. NC will be discussing this in the present session. We will see what solutions we can offer.
Dasho: Your profile shows you live in Athens. Is that true?
No la Dasho I am engineering trainee here in CST...
Can we stress on to have manufacturing company for our own national dress?
Dasho: I agree with you. Bura and Seshu are too expensive for ordinary people. On the other hand, there are home woven materials that are much cheaper. The only difference is that they are cottage products and not visible in market. I don't think we need manufacturing companies. I think, we need to support, subsidize and promote home weavers. That should be a change in policy direction concerning gho and kira.
Dasho: That will be good. You know Lyonchen introduced a new loom like the one in Laos. He started in Pema Gatshel. If that loom does not distort traditional designs, etc. this would be good for increasing production and supply,
And one more thing I can see is many of our +2 students who are not qualified for in country training goes to India. Is there anyone coming up with private college like RTC la?
Dasho: There are a few proposals. MoE is sitting on the proposal. I think there were three proposals.
Dasho: That is the concern of every people. Will there be enough candidates? Will there be a good leader etc?
I think some constituencies will not have candidate... Even a fresh graduate
Dasho: That is true. So some parties may chose to give up certain constituencies
Dasho: It is possible if you don't get candidates
Dasho: No, please don't do so for now! What is your blog? If you want to blog our conversations in future, let us engage in more conversations. I really like the idea of posting it on blog. Why didn't I think of that?
Dasho: Anyway, that is very good! How do you upload a conversation on a blog?
I am inspired and motivated more from your writing and public speaking la.
Dasho:Thank you and I hope I keep inspiring you. I am only worried I may be a disappointment!

Nearly three quarters of new mums feel down shortly after birth, complaining of sadness, mood swings, anxiety and loss of appetite.
In around one in ten new mothers this continues and is classed as post-natal depression.
A sharp drop in oestrogen levels after birth has now been found to coincide with the release of an enzyme in the brain which blocks 'feel-good' chemicals.
Previous research has shown that in the first three to four days after giving birth, oestrogen levels drop by up to 1000 fold.
And the new study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry shows that in proportion to this oestrogen loss, levels of an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A increase dramatically in the brain.
This enzyme however, can break down serotonin and dopamine, which are known to cause contentment.
If levels of these are low, it can lead to a risk of becoming depressed.
The team, headed by Julia Sacher from the MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, found that levels of the enzyme in women who had just given birth were 43 per cent higher than those in a control group.
The levels peaked on the fifth day after birth - the day new mothers often hit their lowest point low.
Certain drugs can be used to lower levels of this enzyme, and also to increase levels of the chemicals it breaks down.
Dr Sacher said: "Our results have the exciting potential for prevention for severe postpartum blues. This could have an impact on prevention and treatment of postpartum depression in the future."
It comes after earlier studies suggested that women could be screened for post-natal depression while they are still pregnant.
It was found that high levels hormones predicted post-natal depression with an accuracy of 75 per cent during the study, which followed 100 women as they went through pregnancy and recent motherhood.
In 2008 researchers found that women who gave birth to boys were more likely to go on to develop post-natal depression than those who had girls.
The condition is thought to affect more than one in ten new mothers, of whom two in 1,000 suffer the most serious form, called puerperal psychosis, in which they can develop delusions or hallucinations.
