Tough Truck accessories
Here's another reason to buy only Highway Products brand step-box. Our lids open upward to give easy access to your cargo. Plus, we put a little kickstand that keeps the lid open. Other brands have drop lids that you have to reach over to get to your contents. Not user friendly.
How about a custom step tool box
This customer wanted a custom design step tool box with a larger top deck and an inclined step instead of the vertical style of the standard step tool box shown above.
The standard style step tool boxes make it hard to use without something to grab on to when you are going up and you have to back down the steps. Sometimes, the driver will elect to jump instead. This style allows the driver to walk up and down. A safer design but more expensive to build. Currently a non-stocking unit. Allow 2-3 weeks.
Don't forget to ask about our warranty when you call. It's the best!

IFAC Releases New Guide on Review Engagements
Dec 10, 2013 | New York, New York | English
The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the global organization for the accountancy profession, today released the Guide to Review Engagements. The guide, developed in conjunction with CPA Canada, aims to help professional accountants in practice, especially those operating in small- and medium-sized practices (SMPs), in conducting review engagements in compliance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), effective for periods ending on or after December 31.
"Many small- and medium-sized entities (SMEs) around the world are not required, or do not elect, to have an audit. They may, however, wish to enhance the credibility of, and confidence in, their unaudited financial statements by having some degree of independent assurance on them," said SMP Committee Chair Giancarlo Attolini. "A review engagement, which offers limited assurance, may be the ideal solution. The guide can help practitioners prepare themselves to meet the potentially increasing demand in this area."
To help practitioners develop a deeper understanding of ISRE 2400 (Revised), the guide includes illustrative examples alongside relevant extracts from the standard. It also includes practical points for practitioners' consideration and tips on how to efficiently implement the standard. Checklists and forms that can be adapted to meet the particular requirements and circumstances of individual review engagements and jurisdictions are also included.
To assist IFAC member organizations, the SMP Committee has also updated its Companion Manual, a supplementary user guide to help organizations understand the various ways they can use, translate, and adapt the committee's implementation guides.
To download the guide, visit SMP Publications & Resources. See also the article "Review Engagements for SMEs: Limited Assurance, Numerous Benefits," which was developed to help IFAC members communicate the value of a review engagement and the availability of the guide to their members (see page for details). For access to additional resources from IFAC and other organizations from around the world, see Implementation Links (open links in the SMP Committee's Delicious page to filter resources by review engagements and other services).
About the SMP Committee
The SMP Committee of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) represents the interests of professional accountants operating in small- and medium-sized practices (SMPs). The committee develops guidance and tools and works to ensure the needs of SMPs are considered by standard setters, regulators, and policy makers. The committee also speaks out on behalf of SMPs to raise awareness of their role and value, especially in supporting SMEs, and the importance of the small business sector overall.
About IFAC
IFAC is the global organization for the accountancy profession, dedicated to serving the public interest by strengthening the profession and contributing to the development of strong international economies. It is comprised of 179 members and associates in 130 countries and jurisdictions, representing approximately 2.5 million accountants in public practice, education, government service, industry, and commerce.

Dishoom Café is located in the main Satyaniketan market in South Delhi. This place was recently opened about a couple of months back and has already proved itself a gem among very tough competitors here. With a really catchy name, the place itself is designed as a fighting ring arena with interiors alike and a spacious setup in a comparatively small space. I have always been a fan of food served around university localities and was equally excited to try this place located in the vicinity of south campus of Delhi University.
Below is my amazing food journey at this fantastic restaurant.
Phantom Cottage Cheese – Cottage cheese (paneer) croquettes had generous amount of amazingly flavored filling with a really crispy outer crust. Served in small shot glasses and topped with seasoned melting cheese and sweet & sour dip, this is a must to try here. My group of friends was so fond of it that we ended up ordering this thrice.
Drums of Heaven – Or as I would term it – 'Heavenly Chicken Drumsticks'. It's basically one of many methods of preparing chicken lollipops in Indo-Chinese cuisine. The batter-coated chicken was fried to perfection with an amazing spicy coating of variety of sauces. I simply loved the whole preparation, the amazing taste and the simple yet beautiful presentation of it. A must have!
Makhmali Chicken Satay – Amazingly marinated chicken skewers was another delight to our meal with perfect balanced combination of taste, presentation and preparation. Topped with dripping overloaded cheese, pomegranate for extra crunch and side salad, this is a dish that shouldn't be missed.
Chicken Sausage Pizza – 'Overloaded' is the perfect description of this pizza. With minimum toppings in overloaded quantity, this pizza is a must to try. Topped with generous amount of chicken sausages, onions and cherry tomatoes, the every bite is as filling as nothing less. A must try yet again!
Dishoom Special Spaghetti Agli Olio – Though the 'Spaghetti Agli Olio' is supposed to be a sauce-less light preparation but this one had the 'Desi' touch by tossing spaghetti in strong spices and vegetables like peppers, olives and tomato; hence in house special. Though the original one is basic and pretty mainstream, the Dishoom version of it is definitely nice and more suited to Indian taste buds. Served with two garlic breads, yet again a must have dish!
Baked Nachos – These weren't just 'baked', instead overloaded and baked cheese nachos. Served in a huge quantity, the chef ensured the cheese is incorporated in every layer of the nachos pile, which made it really cheesy. Topped with generous amount of cream and salsa, this should not be missed and yet again I would highly recommend.
Butter Chicken Pasta – No place matches the innovation of a university restaurant when playing with ingredients and flavors. Imagine a fusion of everyone's all time favorite 'Butter Chicken' with 'Penne Pasta'. I my words the fusion was just perfect with an amazingly flavored butter chicken gravy, chicken chunks cooked to perfection and nicely prepared pasta, all sautéed together to prepare this must have dish. Served with two garlic breads on side, this is a must!
Fish and Chips – A British favorite staple food is definitely my favorite too with beautifully batter fried fish and potato finger chips on sides. The fish batter was perfectly flavored with great spices and cooked until golden crisp. Beautifully presented with tartar sauce to go along with, this was definitely a delight.
Butter Chicken with Malabar Parantha – Apparently this place prepares amazing butter chicken gravy with generous use of cream & butter with flavorful spices. The succulent chicken was again cooked to perfection and served with Malabar Parantha and green chutney on the side. An hearty Indian favorite was perfect in every sense.
Brownie Shake – A really thick shake with chocolate brownie chunks in every sip was a great drink to perfectly go along with the food. Topped with generous amount of cream and chocolate brownie, this might be a reason for you to thank me later.
Green Apple – A really refreshing green apple flavored drink was another delight. With perfect balance of sweetness levels and nice fizz, the drink was amazing in every sense.
Red Velvet Shake – Yet another delight to our meal was the beautiful looking red velvet shake. With perfect sweetness levels, thick base and beautiful presentation with cream and red velvet cake crumbs on top, this tasted as amazing as it looked.
Cookie Dough – Freshly baked chocolate chip cookie topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a waffle stick. The perfect fusion of warm cookie and cold ice cream was heavenly and the extra layering of chocolate syrup on top gave this dessert even more chocolate flavor. A perfect delight in every bite, this shouldn't be missed here.
Magic in a Jar – A jar with everything you love in it. Chocolate brownie, red velvet cake, fruit bites, lots of whipped cream and topped with a huge top of vanilla ice cream with a cherry. The fusion of all these was heavenly yet again and all the ingredients went perfectly with each other. A must have!
Finally I wouldn't even think twice to rate this place the highest rating of 5/5, for amazing food, varieties, innovation, taste, staff service, cost and possibly everything. Though the space seemed like a downside, but was well compensated by the beautiful setup of interiors, humble restaurant team and the whole experience we had here. A true gem!

Our Coffee
Estate Coffee
Before we start to tell you how we are absolutely obsessed about quality, we want to make sure to paint a clear picture of what "estate coffee" means to us. The bottom line is that which all of you already know: traceability. By offering estate coffee our buyers know exactly where their coffee was grown, not only the country or region but precisely which estate produced that coffee. However, at Santa Barbara we believe that estate coffee means much more than location. We want our buyers not only to know where the coffee was grown but also the people that grew it, and what type of social, environmental and agricultural practices where used to grow it. We also want them to know that we, as a company, have complete control of every process, from the tree to the port, passing through the wet and dry milling process, and that this permit us to take quality control to a whole new level. This is very important to us because we believe knowledge results in TRUST. And because we are in this for the long run, and because we concentrate uniquely on direct relationships (we export our coffee ourselves) our business runs on that simple but profound word.
So now we will explain to you what exactly it means to us to be obsessed with quality. For us this is not just a poetic expression of our dedication to our craft, but a premise on which our organization runs day in and day out. Every step of production is monitored, measured and controlled, always having the final cup in mind. Here are the steps we follow to produce for you the very best coffee that can be grown at our farms.
First step: The land and the treesThere are many things you can do to enhance the intrinsic quality of a bean just picked from a tree, but if that bean does not have the potential to produce a great cup, then it doesn't matter how hard you try. Let me explain where that potential comes from.
The first thing that starts to influence the quality of coffee is the environment where you grow it. Altitude, soil and climate all mix up to create the basic conditions to grow a good cup of coffee. At Santa Barbara we have a great mix of volcanic soils, high altitude and an incredible microclimate. Our coffee is grown at an average altitude of approximately 1650 meters, with a range from 1400 to 2000 meters. This high altitude means that our coffee takes longer to mature, and therefore produce denser and richer beans. This altitude is enhanced by a specific microclimate created by the Cauca River valley, where we are located. The warmth of the valley protects our coffee from the cold Andean nights, permitting us to grow coffee at higher altitudes.
And then comes the tree. We take pain in having very young, well-fertilized, healthy trees. For example, our trees are only pruned once (at age 6) and then replaced at the next cycle. The grounds are also monitored constantly to identify missing minerals that the tree might need before or after a harvest. We do this taking into consideration not only productivity but also cup quality. For example we are constantly measuring the potassium in the ground, which we have seen can affect the development of sugars in the mucilage of a ripened bean. We will see later why these sugars in the mucilage are so important for the final cup quality. To conclude, we take incredible care of our trees and our math is simple: you can only expect healthy beans from healthy trees.
Step 2: The pickingThis is probably the most complex part of the process to produce a high quality cup of coffee. During the harvest our farms hire more than a 1000 workers to pick our coffee. These workers have accustomed themselves to worry only about volume, and farm owners usually only demand from the pickers that they pick as few GREEN beans as possible, but they do not worry about those beans that are not green but not fully ripened either. These unripen beans are the ones responsible for the dry, astringent or veggie notes of some coffees.
At Santa Barbara Estate we have decided to change this philosophy through a mix of education and economic incentives. We are working with our pickers to teach them why it is so important that they pick the fully ripened beans, as most of them have no idea of the effects of their job on the final product. We also complement this with a set of collective incentives. Throughout the day, we are taking constant measures of the quality of the picking, measuring what percentage of unripen beans we have. When this percentage reaches a certain point a bonus kicks in, and then next day picking will be paid with a bonus. So far we have seen great results, and the mentality of the pickers has changed drastically.
Step 3: The wet millThe wet mill has to be managed in the same way a premium roaster manages its facility: with a specific mixture of art, industrial rigor and scientific curiosity.
Until recently we had very simple, yet strict rules to process our cherry. The coffee arrived in the afternoon and it was immediately de-pulped, washed and dried. This turned out a good, clean cup with no defects and some distinct attributes. However we realize that we could do much better, and started to carry out some experiments. In total we carried our more than 40 experiments with different fermentation technics (this is where the sugars in the mucilage kick into action), eventually finding a process that not only improved considerably our quality but was also manageable with the volumes we produce at our farm. As a result from the new techniques, which combine fermentation processes both before and after the cherry is depulped, what we are seeing is an explosion in sweetness and in attributes.
Since we made these changes we have been very careful monitoring these processes. For example, we are constantly measuring PH and temperature levels in our tanks in order to better control our fermentations and guarantee a consistent quality, and we are very strict with the amount of time we ferment our coffee.
Step 4: Storage, info management and dry mill
This is the final stage of the production process before we hand our precious coffee to you.
Every two days the dried coffee (still in parchment) is transported to our warehouse, which is 20 miles away from our estate. Once it arrived, the coffee is analyzed, cupped and recorded. For every lot of coffee that enters our warehouse we keep extensive records, which include information about where that coffee was picked, at what altitude, ph and temperature levels during fermentation, brix measurements from the mucilage, etc. All this info is linked to a physical and cupping analysis that our lab does (we have two certified Q cuppers), and when we find lots that are either above or under our quality average we can look back into our records and try to find out why we got those results. This also permit us to give our clients more information about the coffee they are buying that anybody else in the coffee world. This gives the concept of traceability a whole new meaning!
Once we have analyzed and recorded a lot of coffee, it is stored depending on its quality. Although all of the export-grade coffee we produce is well above the UGQ (Colombian USUAL GOOD QUALITY denomination), we have two main quality groups. The first group is what we consider our Santa Barbara Estate quality, which can have different cup profiles but always scores between 80 and 85 points on the SCAA scale. The second group is what we call Santa Barbara Reserve quality. This is a considerably small part of our crop (10% max) and consists of coffee we consider truly special and unique, scoring above 86 points.
The next step is our dry mill. We have to admit that we are particularly proud of our mill. Not only is it state of the art machinery, but it was the final step we had to take to be completely integrated. There are very few completely integrated farms in Colombia and in Central America, as it does entail an extra layer of complexity to the production business, but we considered it crucial in order to accomplish complete control of our quality. If we outsourced our dry milling we could probably save costs and a couple of headaches, but we would be putting our quality at risk, as large dry mills are usually hectic and a bit chaotic, for they mill an assorted number of origins and qualities in the same day. Furthermore our mill is designed for specialty coffees, and permits us to play around with preparations that ordinary mill would go crazy trying to accomplish.
So this is it, this is the a complete description of almost everything we have to do day in and day out to guarantee that the coffee you receive is the very best our land can produce!

In December 2013,
Oman's Information Technology Authority (ITA) launched a new Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system to help secure online transactions.
The secure infrastructure, now in live mode, enables multi-modal access to
eGovernment services with the highest identity assurance level (level 4). It addresses both the public sector to secure eGovernment services and the private sector and supports the national digital transformation program.
Recognizing that not everyone has the same level of technology proficiency, ITA has taken a citizen-centric approach with a solution that has plug-and-play connectivity from any computer. It eliminates the need for client middleware and simplifies the end-user interface. Omani users have only to make a simple mouse click at their first connection.
The new
Mobile ID is derived from the national ID scheme and Oman's Civil Register. The national ID provides a unique and strong evidence of the subscriber's identity bringing trust to the overall eServices scheme in Oman.
Gemalto's Goverrnment Digital Identity Services enable strong authentication, centralized signature and identity federation to form the new basis of Oman's e-infrastructure.
They provide a shared future-proof platform for the use of electronic identity and the delivery of secure public and private services.
To make access to eServices even more inclusive, the Gemalto solution is compatible with all the world's most widely used browsers. Engineered to deliver the highest possible level of online security, The services enable digital signatures for both PDF documents and online forms. It's a multi-authentication solution that supports OTP, PKI, Mobile PKI and login/password schemes.
Complementing the national eID card in place in Oman, the Gemalto's mobile PKI SIM card adds the true mobility factor into the e-services. Now Omani citizens can access public and private services anywhere anytime.
Digital certificates will be issued through the National Digital Certification Center for authentication and signing to better protect online services and transactions against identity fraud.

TBOTECH Guide: How to Throw Throwing Knives
Knife throwing has been in practice for ages. Now, it's becoming a new pastime for knife enthusiasts.
Are you interested in learning the art of knife throwing? Perhaps you're a little scared at the idea. But have no fear, we have the perfect guide for you.
Check out our guide for throwing knives below.
Choose Your Throwing Knives
The first step in learning how to throw knives is choosing the perfect knife. Unfortunately, not any knife will work for this type of activity. You need to choose one that is used specifically for throwing.
You can pick out your ideal knife on our website.
Whichever knife you choose, it needs to have certain qualities. Keep the following factors in mind:
- A sharp point
- Thick enough so it will not bend when it lands
- A solid blade to ensure it doesn't break
- Rounded corners
- Handles without excessive ornamentation
- At least 8 inches to a foot in length
Learn to Throw the Knife
Now that you've chosen the perfect knife, you need to learn the basics of throwing knives. Knife throwing doesn't mean simply throwing a knife at a target. You will need to learn the proper form and stance before you throw.
Basic Stance
In order to throw correctly, you need to start out properly.
Before you throw, make sure you:
- Stand up straight and stay relaxed.
- If you're right handed, keep your right foot forward, and your left foot behind it.
- Hold the knife with your thumb over your other fingers.
Half Spin Throw
Once you've mastered the proper stance, you can begin with a simple half spin throw. Since you're a beginner, this is the perfect throw to learn first.
1. Begin at a safe distance from your target.
How far you stand depends on the distance you're comfortable with as a beginner. You should start about six to seven feet away from the target.
2. Hold the knife with the blade facing towards you.
The knife's handle should face upwards.
3. Throw the knife towards your target using a bit of force.
Using too much force may throw off your aim.
Advanced Throws
Because you're still a beginner, you need to remember throw at this distance until you feel comfortable enough to move on. More advanced throws will mean more spins and a further distance.
Follow Proper Safety
As with any activity (especially one involving throwing knives!) you should practice safety. Make sure that you're not practicing within close distance of other people or pets. Look behind any fences or furniture to be sure.
You should also always pay attention and make sure that you're focusing on your target, as well as your surroundings. Always make sure you're wearing protective shoes to keep yourself safe.
You're Ready To Throw Down
Knife throwing can be an awesome skill that you can show off to friends and family. It's a skill that not many people have, so learning the art of throwing is extra special.

Close Your Eyes....It's About to Get Bumpyby Trish Marshall
I was that student - that person who told anyone who would listen to me that I was going to be in HR after graduation. After taking a couple of Human Resources classes I felt this was my destiny. While I may have felt that way, many who interviewed me said 'well where's your internship experience?' My blank stare in response every time I was asked that question almost became the norm. Rejection after rejection I said to hell with interviewing, I'm going to grad school for HR.
I picked out the school (Baruch), started prepping for the GRE, and said 'Trish this is once again your destiny.' I was set to take the GRE but had a family planned trip to Barbados in which I would return to the States the day before I was scheduled for the test. The day I was set to leave for Barbados, I was rushed to the ER with spinal bronchitis. This left my sister up to the task to make sure she was to bring all of my necessary materials I needed for the GRE to the hospital while I was holed up there. 'Never fear' my sister said, 'I got you.'
After the doctors were threatened by my loving but feisty mother to release me because we had a plane to catch *(her exact words were 'carry her onto the plane in her hospital bed regardless what you say she's going on this flight tomorrow'), I was released late that night straight to the airport (I'm not making this up). My dad and sisters gathered all of our luggages before departing for the airport. After checking and settling in, I asked my sister for my GRE book to which she replied, 'oh I only bought the GRE prep disk nothing else.' Wait….WHAT?!
Needless to say I bombed the GRE, didn't bother applying to Baruch, and shouted 'to hell with Grad school,' and that was probably the best thing that could've ever happened to me. Fast forward to today...with over 7 years of working in HR in almost every industry (ok I'm exaggerating a little), here I am….your new Manager of People and Culture. It wasn't an easy road, and there were so many trials and tribulations that I could honestly write a tell-all tale. But with Carrot it's different, it feels different, and it is different because this is the first time in a very, very, very long time that I feel like I'm home.

The Mitred Archpriest Michael Margitich reposed on November 11, 2017, Veterans Day. He was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, on November 29, 1928 to William (Vasili) and Anna Margitich, emigrés from Carpatho-Russia. His father was a cantor in Uzhgorod before coming to the U.S.
Fr. Michael attended St. Vladimir's Seminary and Columbia University concurrently, and while there was married to Eleanor Gogats on June 14, 1952, at his home parish, Holy Assumption, Clifton, New Jersey.
He was ordained a priest in Cumberland, Rhode Island on July 18, 1953 by Archbishop Dmitri (Magan) and was assigned to All Saints in Hartford for a year before he became a chaplain in the Air Force in 1954. He achieved the rank of full colonel after serving for thirty years. He served at several Air Force bases; Parks AFB, Pleasanton, CA; Weisbaden AFB, Germany; Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MI, where he was able to procure and move an Air Force base chapel for use by the Orthodox community. He was next assigned to Saigon, Vietnam in 1966–67; Lowry AFB, Denver, CO; Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL; Hickam AFB, Honolulu; Travis AFB, Fairfield, CA; Scott AFB, Bellevue, IL; Andrews AFB, Washington DC; Hanscom Field, Lexington, MA.
At each of these facilities he provided Liturgical Services for Orthodox military personnel, as well as counseling and pastoral care for those who found in him a good and loving father. He always made an effort to establish friendships with local Orthodox clergy wherever he was posted.
Following retirement on November 11, 1984 in Massachusetts, Fr. Michael and Matushka Eleanor moved to Kingston, MA, to take over the budding Mission of St. Mark of Ephesus, in the Diocese of New England. Very quickly he was able to acquire a church building, no longer being used by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, and oversaw the growth of the mission. In 1989, Fr Michael and Eleanor moved to Santa Rosa, California to be near family, and he was assigned by Bishop Tikhon of the West to be the chaplain for the Nuns at the Monastery at Point Reyes. He was also the confessor for the Nuns at Kazan Skete, after the Archimandrite Dimitri reposed.
He became the rector of the Protection of the Holy Virgin Parish in Santa Rosa in 1990, and organized the funding, design and construction of St. Seraphim Church in 1996. He retired as rector on December 31, 1998, yet continued to serve, counsel, work and support the parish in every way possible during its critical years of growth.
He is preceded in death by his brothers, Archpriest John, Deacon Joseph and Steven. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor, daughter Irene (Nevis), his son, V. Rev. Lawrence Margitich (Ann), son Mark (Gina), seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, his brothers Emil, George and Basil and sisters Helen and Ann.
The Funeral Service for Priest will be held on Tuesday, November 14, at 6 pm and Funeral Liturgy will take place on Wednesday, November 15, at 9:30 AM at St. Seraphim Cathedral, 90 Mountain View Ave, Santa Rosa.
Burial will follow at Healdsburg Cemetery. Donations may be made to St. Seraphim Cathedral. Fr. Michael was loved by many and will be missed by all. Memory Eternal!

La Crosse Remodel Update No. 7
Hello co-op friends,
Here's another update on the renovations for La Crosse store. We've now begun concrete repair and improvements; this concrete phase will last three weeks. The purpose of this work is to:
- repair broken sidewalks for safety,
- prevent water pooling at parking lot entrance,
- increase the safety of the outdoor receiving area,
- add a fence to improve aesthetics of trash area,
- add a bike rack and picnic bench in parking lot,
- make it easier to take trash out of the building.
Thank you for your patience during this phase. Once this is done we'll be in good shape for a long time.
For the most part, the work indoors has been completed for 2018. We're really loving the new service desk and express lanes – have you checked them out yet? During the next week we'll be putting the finishing touches on these registers, with the lights and signs which help you find your way.
Painting will continue through early November and then we'll begin replacing the art and signage on the walls. We'll have the awnings replaced this fall, too. Here's an example of how it will look:
The next phase begins just after the new year, with the expansion of the deli. That phase will be a big one – involving moving freezers and coolers and installing the hot bar and redesigning the deli counter. There will be periodic closures of some services, but we will not let you down on the basics. For example, we'll offer coffee and hot soup during the deli closure; frozen pizza and ice cream will still be available while we're moving the freezers. Our classroom will accommodate people when the deli seating area is unavailable. Keep an eye on our social media for details.
Let us know how these renovations are working for you with an email or phone call. And if you like what you see, please spread the word! A review on Facebook, Trip Advisor Google makes a huge difference. Tell your friends, neighbors, and coworkers about what you love at People's Food Co-op! If you are already promoting us loudly and proudly to your friends, THANK YOU!

Hammer Kick-Off in Fränkisch Crumbach
The hammer kick-off meeting of 2013: The 11th international Sparkassen hammer throw meeting in Fränkisch-Crumbach. From the 18th to the 20th of May the international world elite and the German youngsters are going to open their season at the Fränkisch-Crumbach meeting. The Olympic bronze medal winners Betty Heidler (hammer throw) and Yanfeng Li (discus), and a total of 152 athletes provide a record of participants.
Although, traditionally less foreign athletes come in the post-Olympic season to compete in Europe, but this does not count for Fränkish-Crumbacher meeting. Two Olympic medalists, several Olympic, World Cup and European Championship athletes and a total of 152 participants in Fränkish-Crumbach provide a first-class competition atmosphere. "We not only want to bring spectators to the meeting to see the world elite, but we also support the younger national hammer throw generation. We are very proud to have achieved both goals with this years meeting, said the meeting director Inga Falter with pride.
The women of hammer throw field is led by world record holder and bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympics, Betty Heidler and the Olympic fifth Kathrin Klaas. In addition, there are two other big names in the field, the Canadian Sultana Frizell and the Chinese Liu Tingting who are able to place the hammer beyond the 70m (229′ 7″) mark. Also, the Swiss champion Nicole Zihlmann will provide the young German throwers Gabi Wolfarth, Carolin Paesler and Mareike Nannen a fight for the podium.
The seven times meeting winner Markus Esser and the Egyptian Hassan Mohamed Mahmoud will fight about the men's first place. The Swiss Martin Bingisser as well as two Dutch throwers Sander Stock and Jasper Chrstian, are going to fight for the remaining spot on the podium. The younger German generation with Sven Möhsner, Johannes Bichler, Jerrit Lipske and oldie Benjamin Boruschewski fight about the remaining places.
The women discus competition is clearly in the hands of the chinese delegation. Yanfeng Li, bronze medal winner of the Olympic Games 2012 of London, is the favorite on the victory. The Chinese champion of 2012, Tan Jian, as well as four other Chinese and six German promising throwers will provide for an exciting competition.
It is the first time for the competition held in Fränkisch-Crumbach to host the men's discus throw. Besides the Chinese champion Wu Jian, Gordon Wolf has the best chances of the victory. Both of them have already thrown beyond 60m (196′ 10").
The competition for the younger athletes is well represented too. From a total of 60 best male and femal hammer throwers who are currently listed in the U18/U20 top lists of the German atheletic federation, 47 have signed in to compete. The U20 field is represented best with the top 9 of the current year's list.

Site Down for Last 10 hours, Fixed Now!!
Aug 5th, 2009 - 2 Comments »
If you have tried to visit webdeveloperplus.com in the past 10 hours or so, chances are that you might have seen just a blank page and nothing else. This was all due to some server migrations being done by our web host. I apologize for any inconvenience it has caused to you.
It all started with our Web host Dreamhost migrating this site to a new server for better performance yesterday(Aug 4, 2009) at 9.30 PM IST.
Though they migrated all the files and database successfully to a new server but there was some issue with WP-Super Cache plugin, which i use to cache wordpress posts for better performance. The paths it used to store and deliver cached files went wrong with the migration which made all the pages go blank. All this happened when i was asleep.
When i woke up today and checked Web Developer Plus at 6.30 AM IST(Aug 5, 2009) it showed blank page. I was quite surprised. Then i checked my email inbox which had an email from dreamhost about the migration to new server. Then i tried to find out the problem and found that there were two problems.
- The upload path in wp_options table is not correct
- WP-Super Cache plugin is causing problem too
The first problem was easily fixed from phpMyAdmin but the second problem took time. Firstly, i disabled all the plugins by renaming the plugins folder in wp-content folder and creating an empty plugins folder. This technique did not work. Then i found the wp-cache-config.php and cache folder in the wp-content folder and renamed it.
This made the site work but without any plugins as all plugins were disabled. Then i renamed my old plugins folder back to plugins and this enabled all the plugins that were required.
So, this was all about the downtime for last 10 hours which is fixed now and site is up and running well.
If you have experienced any such downtime, please tell us about it in comments below.

Migrations are always nasty, but I've heard loads of nightmare stories about Dreamhost from other devs. Might be a good idea to look for other hosting.

You've already chosen your study programme? Apply online now.
Theoretically we can provide you with much knowledge. But it really gets exciting when you start to apply what you have learned and feel how you can actively participate in entrepreneurial processes with your newly acquired know-how. This experience is very important and valuable. For this reason, an internship is an integral part of all bachelor and master programs at the European Management School. You get to know various jobs and see at an early stage which industries or fields motivate you the most and in which direction you would like to orientate yourself after your studies. By the way, this is an excellent opportunity to connect to your first professional contacts and create a more convincing application after graduation using your valuable practical experience that many companies with other university graduates.
During an internship, students not only get to know the company, but also employers also get to meet potential candidates likely to fill future employment positions. Both sides have the intensive opportunity to get to know each other over the course of several weeks. That is why companies often give targeted internships in order to find new employees and test their suitability. They have the opportunity to examine whether an intern with his / her knowledge, talents and characteristics fits the company and its culture. Not infrequently, does an internship result in a job offer after graduation or in student employment opportunity alongside your studies.
Numerous companies have previously had positive experience with our graduates and appreciate the EMS as a recruiting platform. They actively approach us with offers and in some cases even offer exclusive internships for our students. Current offers can be found online in our Career Center and on the notice board on campus.
You may already have a concrete idea about where you would like to complete your internship, in Germany or abroad? Perhaps you met an interesting company at one of our career events? Self-initiative is highly appreciated and of course supported. Our Career Service Department knows the Dos & Don'ts of the application process, has valuable insider tips, helps with questions about job postings or formalities and will gladly provide you with personal feedback when putting your application together.

Wild Hogs In Texas
An East Texas man was having an ongoing turf war for five years with a 416-pound feral pig he called "the bush beast" that was wreaking havoc on his land and killing fawns on his property. That hog soon learned why you should never mess with a Texan and his hunting property.
Fox News reports that Joe Clowers, of Union Grove, Texas, tries to keep his property "like a sanctuary or nursery for the deer to raise fawns," but the massive hog was wreaking havoc by feasting on the young deer.
Texas hosts one of America's biggest feral hog populations, with an estimated 4 million hogs statewide – and they keep expanding further and further into developed neighborhoods.
Clowers said he took the animal using an AR-15, and plans to keep the trophy of the beast mounted on his wall at home.
"He was the big daddy," Clowers stated. "I called him the bush beast."
The Gregg County Game Warden shared some pictures on their Facebook page to show just how big this pig was.

LED Light Bulbs for Home
Homes are not created equal. If they were, I'd be living in bigger house than I am today; a 1,900 sq ft. home based on the Canadian Home Builder's Association's 2012 Report on Average Home Size in Canada. With all that space, I'd use more different kinds of light bulbs and fixtures around my home. I'd have more flood and spot lights and of course more traditionally shaped lights. Maybe I'd even have a chandelier and have two handfuls of chandelier light bulbs. That's me trying to dream about what my home would look like if I had extra rooms in my home. Some really nice to have features in my home would be a home theatre with movie-style seating with cup holders and even recline, have a home-office and just a nice sized family den area to relax and enjoy company. But, not all homes are created equal and thus the lights you'll need for your home will be pretty different. Here's a list of common LED lights bulbs for home use:
Common Household LED Light Bulbs, the A19The A19 shaped bulb or what we also call the, "traditional" shaped lights are the most common; in fact, their also known as, "common household bulbs". These are used in your lamp shades, ceiling light fixtures, garage, outdoor lights that could be fitted with a motion sensor, etc. A19 LED light bulbs have a E26 base, which means it is a screw-in base with a diameter of 26 millimetres, and they have a diameter of 2.4" and a total length (MOL or "maximum overall length") of 4.3".
Chandelier LED Light Bulbs, the Candelabra or B10 & B11To keep things simple, let's just say if you need a narrow light bulb that resembles a light bulb you need to replace in your chandelier or in a nicely designed lamp, the Candelabra LED light bulb is the way to go. There are several different styles of course, but the most common ones are the B10 & B11. These LED bulbs are available in both E26 base and E12 base. The LED bulb in the picture is a B11 LED with an E12 base.
The Common 3" Pot Lights LED Replacement, the PAR20A 3" recessed pot light fixture can hold a traditional incandescent bulb, a CFL (Compact fluorescent) or a PAR20 halogen bulb. While any of these three bulbs will work in this pot light, the best bulb to use in these fixtures are the PAR20 halogen bulbs for a couple of reasons: 1. They direct light in a single direction; not up and down like an incandescent or a CFL which throws light back into the fixture and therefore not allowing you to take advantage of all the light you're paying for in the 40 watt - 60 watt bulb. 2. CFL lamps, which also have a low wattage similar to LED bulbs, do not work well when used upside down and will actually not work as long as expected. The reason for this is because gas builds up to the base of the CFL and overtime the gas will combust and blow the ballast in the CFL. PAR20 LED light bulbs don't quite resemble it's halogen counterpart because of its more smooth line girth. But, they are the right bulb despite its looks. Some drawbacks of the LED designed PAR20 is that some people have a harder time installing them in the fixture because the rings inside the fixture sometimes are too narrow for the PAR20's girth. Not to worry, in most cases you can just bend the ring outward by flexing it a little before you install the PAR20 LED bulb. PAR20 light bulbs have a diameter of 2.5", are 3.5" long (MOL) and have an E26 base.
Flood Lights PAR38 & PAR38Many people have PAR30 and PAR38 bulbs installed in recessed pot fixtures and or in track lighting. They're a great choice for people that want more light than a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb because much brighter; 95 watt - 120 watts. A PAR30 LED light bulb has a diameter of 3.8" and fits perfectly in a 4" recessed pot light fixture. A PAR38 LED light bulb has a diameter of 4.8" and fits recessed "cans" no less than 5". Both have an E26 base and are typically installed point down if in a recessed pot fixture or in different angles if installed on track lighting.
Kitchen Track Lights, MR16 & GU10The most common track lighting our customers have in their kitchen are MR16 and GU10 lights. MR16 and GU10 are very similar light bulbs. In fact, both lights are actually MR16s, but their bases are different. The MR16 has a GU5.3 base and a GU10 or MR16 has a GU10 base. Overtime, the MR16 with the GU10 base was simply referred as GU10 to differentiate itself from the MR16 with the GU5.3 base. Despite the shape similarity, they operate differently. MR16 lights are a lower voltage lighting system. This 12 volt light bulb uses an external transformer that steps down the voltage from 120 to 12. The GU10 uses a 120 volt system as well but rather than using an external transformer, the GU10 has a the transformer built into each bulb which is the reason why a GU10 has a bigger base. MR16 LED bulbs have a GU5.3 base which are like two pins with needle ends and are 5.3mm apart. GU10 LED bulbs have a GU10 base which are like small dumbbell ends that are 10mm apart.
Understand LED Wattage Equivalents Compared with Incandescent Light BulbsA common incandescent household bulb uses 40 watts, 60 watts, 75 watts and even as high as 100 watts. Their LED counterpart use much less energy;
- 35 watt incandescent bulb products 300 - 400 lumens = 6 - 7 watt LED bulb
- 40 - 50 watt incandescent bulb produces 500 - 600 lumens = 7 - 8 watt LED bulb
- 60 watt incandescent bulb produces 800 - 900 lumens = 10 - 12 watt LED bulb
- 75 watt incandescent bulb produces 900 - 1000 lumens = 13 - 15 watt LED bulb
- 100 watt incandescent bulb produces - 1100 - 1200 lumens = 18 - 20 watt LED bulb

moon for kids
moon coloring pages for kids
The Moon (Latin: Luna) is what people generally say when talking about Earth's moon. The moon can be seen from Earth. The moon is actually very large, about a quarter the size of the world, but because it is far away it looks very small. The gravity on the moon is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. It means that you will be 6 times lighter on the moon than on Earth. The moon is a rocky and dusty place.
The Moon is lit up by the sun as it goes around (Orbits) the Earth. This means sometimes we can see the whole moon and other times only bits of it. This is because the moon gives out no light. We can only see the parts that are reflecting light from the Sun. These different stages are called Lunar Phases. It takes the Moon about 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) to complete the cycle, from big and bright to small and dim and back to big and bright. People used the moon to measure time and present day months are approximately equal in time to a lunar cycle.
The phases of the Moon
Because the moon is tidally locked (always faces the same way) towards Earth there is a half of the moon we can never see. This is called the dark side of the moon even though the sun does shine on it.
History of exploring the Moon
Buzz Aldrin standing on the moon in 1969
The moon has fascinated people since there were people to see it. People often dreamed of standing on the moon and looking at Earth.
Before people stood on the Moon, some of the big countries in the world, the United States and Russia (which used to be part of the USSR) sent robots to the moon. These robots would fly around, crawl, or in the case of Luna 2, crash into the moon. The robots were the first things that humans made that touched the Moon.
Humans finally landed on the Moon in 1969. On July 20th of that year, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, landed their space probe (the Eagle) on the surface of the moon. Then, as half the world watched him on television, Armstrong climbed down the ladder of the Eagle and was the first to touch the Moon. Later, Buzz Aldrin hops out of the Eagle, and together, they put the American flag near the spot where they landed. They explored around collecting rocks for about an hour before leaving.
More people landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972, when the last spaceship, Apollo 17 visited. Eugene Cernan of Apollo 17 was the last person to touch the moon since 2008.

Another week over, but I hope it is back to normal from Monday onwards. After typing so much for Armchair BEA the previous week, visiting fellow participants' posts and then checking out all those updates from the BEA attenders, I had reached a burnout during the initial half of last week. The latter half was spent mostly on clearing up my Google Reader (still getting there), and finally, finally, focusing on my work at university.
Overall, I had a good bookish week! Usually end-of-months and beginning-of-months can be especially sweet for me. That's when I obsessively head to those famous "lists" and start tracking how much reading I did during that month, how I have been faring in my challenges and what picks I would love to see on my reading log for the next month. For this reason alone, I love the month-ends. That's just the reason I need to tempt myself with different books and predict where my reading tastes would take me during the next 30-odd days.
I know many of you have signed up for summer challenges. So far, I haven't been able to come across one that I really wanted to do, mainly because my summer is going to be crazy busy, and I don't want to commit to books I may or may not have access to over the next few months! Moreover, I have a stack of ARCs that I want to get through right now. So instead, inspired by Mary's post @ Bookfan, I have decided to create my own list of books that I want to read over the summer (between now and August 31, 2010). While choosing my books, I liberally picked a few that were on my 2010 challenge lists, plus I added a few books that I've always wanted to read.
- Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler
- The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
- Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells
- Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell
- Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
- Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Except for Leviathan, I own a copy of the rest. Again, except for Leviathan, all the other books are in some challenge list for this year. I wanted to finally read these books because I have been told time and again that they are good. I am sure I would read them at some point this year, but I guess this way is better. I will also be (definitely) reading The Passage by Justin Cronin and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, but figured that I would be cheating myself by including them in the list above.
What are you planning to read this summer?

Patriots cut receiver Darren Andrews Jersey
The Patriots had to make a corresponding roster move to sign punter Corey Bojorquez. They cut receiver Darren Andrews to make room.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone loved Frazier's at-bats.
Elite J. D. Martinez Jersey Yeah, really good, he said. Real patient obviously. He smokes a ball the other way. Mature at-bats. Under control. To go right in there and have quality ABs, it makes me excited for him.
These at-bats were Frazier's first since last Sunday, his last Triple-A game. Frazier was called up for last week's interleague series in Washington, but he didn't play in Tuesday's suspended game, then the Yankees were rained out on Wednesday and off on Thursday.
Youth Colton Schmidt Jersey
I was literally just react to whatever was in the zone, Frazier said. I think the story of my season last year was it started good and fizzled out because I didn't have much of an approach at the plate. This year I was making sure that I have a gameplan going up there and try to stick to it.
Townsend comes to Oakland from the University of Florida, where he played in 44 games over the last four years. He averaged 46.2 yards per kick during his time in Gainesville, which is the top career punting average in SEC history.
The Raiders also signed former Florida kicker Eddy Piniero as an undrafted free agent, so Townsend isn't the only Gator among the specialists.
Townsend is the third of the Raiders' draft picks from this year to sign. Six others, including first-rounder Kolton Miller, remain unsigned.
At the time, the dynamic Clemson product was the talk of the league while running away with Offensive Player of the Year honors.聽
On the bright side, the injury took place Jacksonville Jaguars">Authentic http://www.officialusasports.com/sports/nfl-jerseys/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars Jersey early enough in the year that Watson might be 100 percent before the Texans play another game that matters.聽
Doing a good job in his rehab, I think he's on schedule to be able to participate in training camp, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said of Watson on NFL Network on Monday, per聽Frank Schwab聽of Yahoo Sports. We're excited about that. We've had a good four-week session with him in the offseason program.

The Incredible Power of a SmilePosted: November 9th, 2011 | Author: C.R. Mooney | Filed under: Random, Videos | 3 Comments »
I found this video about the power a simple smile can have to change your life. Smiling more everyday can even extend your life 7 years! Oh, and even fake ones count a little.
Most amazing to me is that kids smile as many 400 times a day. Adults? Most smile about 30 times a day. So I encourage you today, no matter your circumstance, find a way to smile today, it will improve your life!
What always brings a smile to your face? For me, it's when I come home from work and all my kids rush to me screaming "Daddy's home!"
EDIT: I just found out that Gutman has a book on this subject you can get by clicking here: SMILE!

|Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and anal canal stenosis: case report and review of literature.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21129528 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) is a characteristic syndrome in which the mullerian structures are absent or rudimentary. It is also associated with anomalies of the genitourinary and skeletal systems. There are very few cases reported regarding its association with anorectal malformations, particularly perineal fistulas. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any reported cases of anal canal stenosis in patients with MRKH. We describe a very rare association of MRKH with anal canal stenosis and multiple renal calculi. The patient underwent corrective surgery for the anomalies and removal of renal calculi. She has been under regular follow-up for the last few months and is doing well.

How to accurately control flow rates in your microfluidic setup using Bronkhorst® flow sensors ?
How to control the flow rate in your setup with very high accuracy ?
The aim of this application note is to show how to perform easily a very responsive and precise flow rate control anywhere in your setup by using an Elveflow® OB1 pressure & flow controller and a Bonkhorst® flow sensor.
Our user friendly software includes a PID algorithm perfectly suited to the OB1 pressure & flow controller.
For further information about the PID algorithm or if any advice on how to tune the PID parameters is needed go to our dedicated tutorial.
Bronkhorst ® very high precision measurement will enable you to both control the volume of liquid going through your microfluidic chips (as with a syringe pump) and the flow rate very quickly.
Coriolis flow measurement
Using the Coriolis Effect (describing how moving object deflect from a straight path when viewed from a rotating frame) on a fluid going through a vibrating tube, it is possible to derive the mass flow through the tube, and also the density of the fluid at secondary output.
This direct measurement is very accurate because there is no need to correct it with temperature, pressure and density and does not depend on fluid specific heat like Thermal mass flow meters.
Coriolis flow meter can be used with gas and liquids and distinguish themselves by their high accuracy and fast response time.

(We will answer within 24 hours)
Coriolis Principle
Mini Cori-Flow operate according to the Coriolis principle. The instrument can be used to simultaneously measure the mass flow, temperature and density. When a fluid flows through a vibrating tube, Coriolis forces are generated which bend or twist the tube. The extremely small tube displacements are detected by optimally positioned sensors and evaluated electronically. Since the measured phase shift of the sensor signals is proportional to the mass flow, the mini CORI-FLOW measures the mass flow directly. The measurement principle is independent of the density, temperature, viscosity, pressure, heat-capacity or conductivity. The tubes always vibrate at their natural frequency, which is a function not only of the tube geometry and the tube material properties but also the mass of the fluid in the vibrating tubes.
Bronkhorst® flow sensor
Adjustable range well adapted for microfluidic application:
For this setup, you will need the following Elveflow® devices:
- Elveflow® pressure & flow control instrument (OB1)
- Microfluidic Tubing for the fluidic connection of the setup elements
- Microfluidic Fittings & Connectors
- Bronkhorst flow sensor
Components list
Setup Diagram
Step by step control with Elveflow® smart software
This section explains step by step how to perform the flow rate control.
Make sure that all the cables and tubing are well connected to your Elveflow® instruments (USB cable, 24V DC, Flow sensor data cable, etc). Perform leakage tests and remove any air bubbles before starting your experiment.
Knowing what fitting is best suited to your needs is a first step towards success. If you're not familiar with microfluidic fittings, you may read our specific tutorials.
The flow sensor is very sensitive to vibrations and movement perturbations so it is recommended to fix it to a stable surface as often as possible. If you need to measure gas flow rate, see in the datasheet the specific recommendation for the sensor position.
1) First launch the Elvefow® smart interface (ESI)
Click on « Add Instrument »
3) Once both instruments are added you will the above window.
5) Open the configuration window of the BFS Flow Sensor and select the "Connected to" tab. Click on the "Edit Sensor visualized in" button to open the channel selection window. Add the channel of the OB1 that will be used for feedback control.
6) You are now ready to begin the flow control!
Open the OB1 window. You should see your flow sensor on the channel selected in the previous step.
7) Change the control mode to "sensor" and open the Channel setting window and go to the "Feedback" tab to tune the parameters to match your requirements.
8) You can now perform your regulation. Set a flow rate and change the profile of the regulation according to your needs.
Open a graph to follow the evolution of the flow rate.
In this example, the regulation was on a constant flow rate of 120µL/min.
9) Example of a triangle PID regulation with a triangle pattern between 50 and 200 µL/min with a 10s period. The flow rate is displayed on the right scale of the graph.

Iration Live From Paradise! Summer Tour with Pepper
We had lunch here a few times while on the island visiting family and friends. The servers here are just wonderful and have great memories it seems. We sat on the ocean front patio and enjoyed the view with our delicious wine and lunch. Must try!
Overall, my experience was positive. I was up and running within minutes of installing it, and the thing is much faster than the old one I had to return as defective.
When I set up the appointment, I had a feeling the rep on the phone was busy, and didn't hear me when I answered his questions, but I wasn't about to pay for the mistake. I'll keep it in mind next time I call their 1-800 number, but I'm really glad the people on the ground are flexible enough to make adjustments on the fly. That alone earned some respect.
The housecleaning crew arrived on time, which was impressive considering I'd only made the appointment the same morning. The cleaner in charge came in first while the others got their equipment out of the truck, and went over the paperwork with me. She took a look around, and presented an estimate that was a bit higher than I was expecting.
On October 17, I stopped by The Ten Top and I experienced the best tuna melt I've ever had. Bread was lightly toasted and tuna was fresh and prepared perfectly. AND THE CHEESE … was delicious.

For many people, faith is based on creeds, doctrine, and head knowledge. It's about mastering the "facts" and making sure you give the "right" answer when any spiritual question is asked. But best-selling author Margaret Silf believes that faith is not about mastery but about mystery, and that living in that mystery allows us to focus much less on religion and much more on relationship--a relationship with the Divine.
In Simple Faith, Silf encourages us to rethink many of the teachings on faith that end up holding us back from experiencing the joy and freedom that a simple faith offers. In short but compelling chapters, Silf provides answers to many important questions of faith: Does life really have meaning? Is it true that God is love? Why do bad things happen to good people? Who is Jesus, and why did he have to die? Is faith really about saving our souls or about spending our lives doing good for others?
Silf's overall message is very clear--faith is not knowing about God, but coming to know God, and that knowing this God requires us to accept the mystery that is God. For all who struggle with conventional religion, Simple Faith is a simple way to help draw closer to the Divine and find life-changing meaning in a new kind of faith.
Margaret is passionate about making Christian spirituality, and especially Ignatian spirituality, accessible to people with no theological background. She travels widely as a speaker and retreat director.
In Daily Inspiration for Women, four authors share their individual, spiritual wisdom in this daily source of strength, solace, and celebration that happen in the seasons of a woman's life.
For all who struggle with conventional religion, Simple Faith is a simple way to help draw closer to the Divine and find life-changing meaning in a new kind of faith.
In Just Call Me López , a twenty-first-century woman, Rachel, meets the man who becomes the saint, and both are transformed by their unlikely friendship and series of thought-provoking conversations.
In The Other Side of Chaos, best-selling author Margaret Silf helps us look closely at the "messes" in our lives through the lens of Christian spirituality, enabling us to see the chaos of life not as something to fear or eschew, but as something to be embraced.
Ignatian spirituality expert Margaret Silf shows readers how to find God in daily life in this collection of stories and meditations.
Loyola Press presents the tenth-anniversary edition of Margaret Silf's Inner Compass, the acclaimed English-language primer on Ignatian spirituality.
This book is for anyone looking for a relationship with God in the Christian tradition without the constraints of formulas or strict disciplines.
