Traveling is always tough for me, especially if I'm going to a big celebration. I don't always make the best food and sleep choices, and I usually come back feeling sluggish and tired. After a weekend partying, it might take me weeks go get back on a healthy track, if at all. Not this weekend, though.
Continuing on my path to health, I made it a point of spending the whole weekend enjoying friends' company, laughing, moving my body and sharing healthy food. My girlfriends seemed so excited to see me to happy and healthy, and I made sure to make them tons of smoothies and share healthy treats. They told me that I seemed so happy, they were sure if they poked me I might shoot rainbows out of my body. They know how much I've been struggling with myself the past several years, and it felt good to let them know I'm doing ok. I also showed them that I could giggle, stay up late, dance and have a great time without booze. I didn't miss it once on the trip; in fact, I was thankful many times that I had abstained. I drank some nice tea, tons of water, and many smoothies. At the end of the trip, I had a lovely brunch with my girlfriend, Reva, on a beautiful and sunny day, and I bent the rules only slightly in terms of my "must not eat" list. And you know what, it was fine. More on that in a bit.
I had to share this picture I took Thursday night. I got my bag all packed, set it by the bed, then Bodhi climbed in and gave me a, "Mama, can I come too?!" look. She's such a cutie pie!
I made sure that I had plenty of healthy snacks and drinks packed for the weekend, so here's a quick list of items I brought with me. We bought my girlfriend, Devon, a nutribullet for her birthday, so I knew I could make smoothies. I recommend if you're going some place where you have a kitchen, a small blender is worth bringing.
- Vegan protein powder (I use Arbonne)
- Nut Milks in Cartons (I brought unsweetened coconut milk)
- Organic Berries (I brought blueberry and strawberry)
- Bag of spinach
- Raw Nuts (almonds are my favorite)
- Fizzy Sticks (or tea, or whatever you need to start your day)
- Tea (I kept several bags in my purse to curb alcohol temptation)
- Salad toppings (store in your bag, seeds work great! hemp, pumpkin, etc)
- Energy snacks (lara bars, home made balls, etc)
- blender bottles (easy to get protein powder in your system)
- re-usable water bottles (I have a "mama" and "baby" nalgene)
- nut butter (I brought raw almond nut butter)
- vitamins (I take a vegan multi, cal/magnesium, b12 sublingual and a vegan DHA)
Highlights From The Trip
|Val, Devon, Me and Amanda
When we arrived at the birthday girl's house, she had yummy food waiting for us. Devon had tons of veggies and hummus to snack on, which was good, because she and I ran 5 miles before dinner. Then, we tore into some amazing soup she made! It's kale, turnips, onions and veggie broth. It was light and delicious!
I made smoothies all weekend! It was great! We had strawberry vanilla ones; we had blueberry chocolate spinach ones; we had chocolate strawberry almond butter ones! Yum and yum. Everyone really liked them, and I had fun doing mini-smoothie demonstrations on the nutribullet.
Ozark Natural Foods was one of my favorite places to be when I lived in Fayetteville. I used to eat there constantly when I went vegan. They have an amazing southern fried tofu on their hot food bar occasionally. We picked up lunch there before heading to a brewery, and since I wasn't drinking, I got myself some fresh made juice. Ozark has a juice bar where they bottle their juices daily. I snagged a salad, too. It was great!
Saturday, I had brunch at The Depot, which didn't exist when I lived there. I'm going to do a full restaurant review tomorrow, but let's just say, when I saw the tofu scramble on the menu, I had to try it.
Before I left for Fayetteville, I jumped on the scale and was another 2 lbs down! That brings me to 14 pounds overall! I'm feeling great, and my body was ready to keep up with all the fun stuff we did this weekend. It's not often when I go out of town and feel like I have lost weight.
When I arrived, Devon and I laced up and ran a 5 miler around her neighborhood. She's running the Little Rock Half Marthon with me, so it was nice to actually get to run together. We had an amazing time. Saturday morning, she popped her head in the spare room at 7 am and said, "Let's go for a run!" So, I jumped out of bed and joined! We did almost 2 miles, but realized if we were going to make it to hot yoga, we needed to get a move on.
We made it on time to Yoga Gypsy in Springdale to grab spots in their hot yoga class. I wore my new #badassyogi shirt and felt amazing. I'm a bit of a yoga snob, but this place did not disappoint. The hot class was fun, difficult and invigorating. I was bursting with happiness and endorphins when we were finished.
After yoga, we showered, downed some smoothies and got ready for LASER TAG! We then proceeded to run around in the mud like happy children at Modern Mission Outdoor in Fayetteville. If you are in the area and have about 20 friends you want to play with, this is the most fun I've had in years. We played for a solid 2 hours, running around, screaming, ducking, hiding, climbing and laughing. It was wonderful, and we were all sore after.
I woke up Sunday morning feeling like someone took a baseball bat to my body. That was a lot of exercise for a couple of days! I almost felt hung over, which sucked because I didn't drink. I took 2 lovely walks that day, one in Devon's neighborhood where we struck some yoga poses, and one down around Dickson Street in Fayetteville. The walks did my muscles good, and I was fine for the drive home.
The best part of the whole weekend was the amount of time I spent belly laughing with my friends. It felt so good to be around them, and I left missing them already. Happy Birthday, Devon! I hope it was a great one!

Please don't give up.
I can't tell you why, as why is a personal thing – but I can tell you that it is possible to carry on quite a long while without being able to consciously conjure a reason.
With or without a why, I just want to offer it, because sometimes, we all need a voice other than our own: please don't give up.

On the Road
At the greenhouse in Volunteer Park
Wow. What a great trip this has already been. Derek and I arrived in Seattle at 10:30 pm on Tuesday after over 6 hours of flying from Tampa. We got off the plane, retrieved our bikes and panniers and assembled them in the airport. We hopped on the light rail and met Kristin, of Kristin Schimik ceramics, in downtown Seattle. She took us to a friend's apartment that was letting us stay at (might I add it was two blocks from both the Space Needle and the Olympic Sculpture Park!). Needless to say, at 4:30 am Florida time, we were beat.
The next day, we got up for an early breakfast at Cherry Street Coffee House. An iced chai latte and a tomato, basil, egg and cheese bagel sandwich was the perfect start to the city. After breakfast, we rode down to the sculpture park and were very excited to see a mountain range on the horizon. We were not in Florida anymore… We looked to the left and suddenly there it was: Mount Rainier! WOW! It was a sunny, clear day in Seattle, which I hear is rare, and we were able to see the peak clear as day which was amazing. After we were done gawking at the beauty that is Puget Sound, we rode our bikes up to the Space Needle where we found a nice little concrete skate park. There was just one guy there cruising around. He let us ride around a little on his board which was a nice treat. Let's just say his favorite word rhymed with duck, and was always low and very drawn out. So GrUnGe! After this, we made a trip to the flagship REI store to pick up some supplies for the trip. Derek and I are a little obsessed with this store and are still wondering why there isn't one in Florida (at least we have Bill Jacksons!). What else was there to do but stop at the Patagonia store? We picked up a Patagonia frisbee for the trip. After this, we rode over to the KEXP 90.3 Seattle radio station. The woodshop tech at UF streams this station in the woodshed everyday and I have come to love it! We were taken on a grand tour of the facilities, including the live in studio performance room. It takes a lot more than I thought to run a community supported, local radio station. Listen to it HERE. Up next was the University of Washington. I scheduled a meeting with the professors there to learn more about their graduate program. They have a very interdisciplinary program which I am very interested in called 3D4M. Learn more HERE. Jamie Walker and Doug Jeck were there teaching summer classes that just began. Doug and some of the grad students invited us back for a barbecue later on in the evening which we accepted. Good burgers! Riding to and from the UW was beautiful. We took a trail from downtown that winds around a huge body of water, over a great bridge and past a marina with a ton of boat houses that were nicer than I could believe. Without a bike, this would have been just an average commute in rush hour, but with Seattle's fantastic bicycle infrastructure, it was a dream! Once back downtown, like the tourists that we were, we stopped by the flagship Starbucks in Pikes Place Market just before closing time. It was still bright out at 9 pm. What a day!
Our final day in Seattle greeted us with another day full of sunshine and beautiful weather (I can't say I miss the heat and humidity of Florida). We went to a bakery for breakfast that Kristin had recommended called Macrina. We split and amazing, fancy-pants breakfast sandwich and an orange hazelnut pinwheel. So. Good. After breakfast, we took a trip to the Capitol Hill neighborhood as recommended by Doug. We had to ride up a massive hill, which made me realize what we were really in for on this tour! The neighborhood was really cool with interesting architecture and some fancy houses. We accidentally stumbled upon Volunteer Park which was absolutely amazing. It was a picturesque park that had a huge botanical greenhouse, a historical brick waterpower and the Seattle Asian Art Museum. We went into each of these and were very glad we did. There was a fantastic exhibit of Western Asian ikats. More info on these HERE. There was a HUGE tree, cute dogs and a nice mailman that took a letter for Derek. Straight out of a movie. After a Thai lunch at a restaurant on Broadway in Capitol Hill, we made another stop at REi, just on the bottom of the hill. We love that place… After REI, we decided to go check out Pottery Northwest, where Kristin is an artist in residence. It was a very nice clay center with great facilities (I can't wait to apply!). We had been joking about who was going to be the frost one to fall off our bikes due to our new clipless bike shoes and pedals, and sure enough it was me! We rode back to the sculpture park and went through the paths to see the art up close. What a gem for a city to have open to the public! While taking a break sitting on a hill looking at the Sound, there came a fleet of at least 100 sailboats. Once again, a scene out of a movie. We stopped at Belltown Pizza for dinner and enjoy the wonderful weather outside. After dinner, we decided to go see Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson's new movie, at the movie theatre. This movie has not come out in Florida yet, bummer, so we got to see it here. I have to say, I think it is his best yet! I highly recommend it.
This morning, we woke up at 5:15 am, rode up another massive, long hill to drop off the keys at Kristin's and took off for the train station. We thought we might not make our 7 am train but we just made it in the nick of time. I am sitting on the train as I type on my way to Portland. I couldn't be more exited to see what this trips brings us next!
Peace Seasons! (This is an inside joke, don't worry about it.)
6/29/2012 10:54:11 am
WOW so many amazing experiences! I don't think the weather in Seattle could be any more perfect either. Can't wait to read about the next leg of your trip!

When your baby starts to get active, as a parent you're going to want to provide your little one with a safe place to burn off all that excess energy. Why? Because if you don't, your child could end up making a huge mess, like getting into your cupboards or something, or worse yet, he or she could get injured. So, it's extremely important to give your child a place to safely have a good time, which is exactly what baby jumpers offer.
The Features and Benefits of Baby Jumpers
The reason a baby jumper (jumperoo)) provides you with such a safe place to put your child to play and learn how to use his or her muscles is due to the way one is designed in addition to the many features and benefits that it has. The set-up of a baby jumper is rather straightforward. One will generally have a seat type area with two leg holes, allowing your baby to first sit and then stand. That seating area will be attached to some sort of spring loaded support type system, which lets your baby stand and jump up and down. Some baby jumpers will sit right on the floor, about a foot or so off the ground, while others are designed to be hanged from the ceiling or a door frame. Both are very convenient and easy to set up for your little jumper to use.
Now that you understand how a baby jumper is set up, the next thing that we're going to get into is all of the features and benefits that one has.
To begin with, some of the features a baby jumper may have consist of:
- A seating/standing area that is stationary or can rotate with a cover that is removable and washable.
- A support system that is spring loaded or has bungee type cords, which may or may not be adjustable. Plus, they have a sturdy base.
- Some have built in toys including those that hang, others that spin, and some that make sounds.
- Others have built in music players and then there are those that also vibrate, which are powered by batteries or AC adapters.
- Crafted from materials that are durable.
- Having a fun decorative motif that makes it attractive to babies, kids, and adults.
And, a few of the benefits include:
- Now, this benefit was already mentioned, but it's such a big one that it needs to be mentioned again. With that said, the main benefit of a baby jumper is that it provides you with a safe place for your baby to be active and have fun.
- Helps your little one develop motor skills by letting him or her jump around, stomp, wiggle, and walk, or run, in place.
- Provides you with a convenient spot to put your baby if you need to quickly do something around the house.
- Stimulates your baby, getting his or her senses going.
- Helps your child with his or her dexterity with using their hands, allowing them to grab and hold things. Provided you get one with toys.
- Allows your child to learn how to be independent since he or she is alone away from Mom and Dad.
- Offers your kid a fun way to pass the time.
The Most Popular Baby Jumper Brands
After doing quite a bit of research and digging, we made the discovery that there are some brands of baby equipment that are more popular than others. They are, in no particular order:
- BabyBjorn – This brand equates to luxury and is considered to be extremely high end. With the products from this company, typically only the top materials are used and with that comes a much higher price tag compared to others on the market.
- Fischer-Price – This is one of the brands that is probably the best known out of all those on the market since it has a long history of making quality baby goods. It's the oldest around, but for good reason.
- Tiny Love – Although this brand is relatively new to the baby gear market, it's starting to trend upward for two reasons. One, what Tiny Love makes is stylish and it's also very, very functional.
- Graco – This is a long-standing brand just like Fischer-Price, but just hasn't been around quite as long. It's turned into a highly trusted brand among parents and offers a baby gear options.
- Bright Stars – If you don't want to break the bank when you purchase things for your baby, then Bright Stars is the brand for you. Very affordable, it's a reliable brand that will get the job done, yet doesn't come with all the bells and whistles like the others.
- Baby Einstein – This brand is all about child development and has a ton of features that promote this development.
The Top 5 Baby Jumper Best Sellers
Just like with the other baby gear options, some have become better sellers than the others. After our research, here are the top 5 that we found (listed in no precise order):
- The Fisher-Price Luv U Zoo – As the name suggests, the jumper has a zoo theme featuring hanging zoo animals, a soft rotating seat, and sounds, music, and lights that can be turned on and off in a blink of an eye. This one is designed to be set on the floor.
- The Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper – Not only does this one let your little tyke jump around, but it also offers them 12 different activities to keep them busy highlighted by a mini piano right on the jumper. This one is also designed to be set on the floor.
- The Graco Bumper Jumper – Set up to be hung from a middle of a doorway, this is a jumper that is made for comfort for both your son or daughter and your home. Why? Because, it has a soft seat and a soft harness that won't damage your home.
- The Bright Stars Springin' Safari Bounce-a-Bout Activity Center – This jumper actually doesn't have the typical jumper set up, yet, it still offers your kid a fun way to jump and play. It has a seat that rotates 360 degrees and instead of a spring set up, it has a hard frame with adjustable height positions. Plus, it comes with attached toys that are interactive.
- The Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Jumperoo – Laughing and learning is exactly what your tyke will do with this one. It has a spinning seat, overhead toys, bright colors, and plays five musical tunes.

What You Need to Choose the Correct Baby Jumper
In order to choose the correct baby jumper for your baby's needs, you need to be smart about what you're doing. You don't want to just buy one to buy one because you could end up being disappointed with what it does, and doesn't offer. For that reason, here's some advice to follow when getting one:
- Be thorough. What does this mean? This means that you need to really do your homework on all the baby jumper options that are out there. This is actually pretty easy to do. Just jump online, search for jumpers, and compare and contrast what's out there. You can also ask others what they think about the options and don't forget to look at reviews. This is the part of your research where we are comminted to help you.
- Don't be hasty. Again, you're probably thinking, what does this mean? It means, don't just get something to get something as mentioned earlier. You don't want to buy something that you'll regret.
- Have fun with it. Don't forget, you are getting this jumper for a baby, so, make sure you have fun with it and don't take things too seriously. Enjoy looking through all the cute options and just stay in the moment because shopping for your new addition should be a good time!
Essentially, a baby jumper isn't a piece of baby equipment that you need right away when your little one is first home from the hospital. However, when he or she starts to grow and get active, it's really something that you should have in your home so your child has a safe spot to burn off some energy. When you see your little bundle smiling and safely having a good time in his or her jumper, you'll be happy that you did.
At Eva Baby Gear you also can find the most valuable information about other gears for babies: bouncers, highchairs, swings and many more.

Forty two years ago we opened a restaurant in Tucson. Several of our customers thought we should check out the little community south of Tucson called Green Valley. They said we would be a perfect fit.
The rest is history. When we opened our restaurant in Green Valley, the population was about five thousand. We were one of three places to eat. We figured if the entire population ate with us once a week we might make it. Our little community welcomed us with open arms and we were off and running.
A lot has changed in the past forty years. Our population has grown to over thirty-five thousand and there are over forty places to eat in the surrounding area. One of the things that didn't change was our restaurant. The ownership of Arizona Family Restaurant has stayed the same over thirty-five years with the exception of adding Kathy Wagner to our team. Our management has over seventy-six years combined experience at this location.
We pride ourselves in the products we use. Only the finest ingredients are used in preparing your meal. We use farm fresh eggs. Our produce arrives fresh to our door four times a week from one of the best quality controlled produce houses in the country. Our meat is federally inspected and other products we serve are all purchased from an equally respected supplier.
We truly feel we are part of the Green Valley community and want to continue to earn the "Family" part of our name. If you don't feel we make your dining experience what you expect, we want to know.
Thank you for making us part of your day!

Free Library Hosts Sunday Literacy Program
Kids in first through third grades can improve their reading skills at these Sunday sessions, now offered at 11 Free Library branches around the city.
Does your child need a little extra help reading? A trip to the library is a great opportunity to expand a young reader's horizons and foster a love of reading. Now, the Free Library of Philadelphia has added special sessions to make a visit even more appealing.
The Sunday Literacy Program is meant to help student in first through third grades who are struggling to read. The program is now in 11 libraries every Sunday, and will continue through the end of the school year. They're free to attend, but children must register at the first workshop.
Each session is run by a teacher, and includes reading aloud, independent reading, games, and writing. The pilot program is part of Read by 4th, a citywide program — managed by the Free Library — with a goal of doubling the number of kids reading at a fourth-grade level by 2020. It's backed by a broad array of local organizations, from charities to bookstores.
The Sunday events are scheduled for the following libraries, all at 1 pm, with a second session at 3 pm:
Andorra Library, 705 E. Cathedral Road
Bustleton Library, 10199 Bustleton Ave.
Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Regional Library, 68 W. Chelten Ave.
Northeast Regional Library, 2228 Cottman Ave.
Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St.
South Philadelphia Library, 1700 S. Broad St.
Walnut Street West Library, 201 S. 40th St.
West Oak Lane Library, 2000 Washington Lane
Whitman Library, 200 Snyder Ave.
Widener Library, 2808 W. Lehigh Ave.
Wyoming Library, 231 E. Wyoming Ave.
The Free Library is known as one of the nation's most respected public library systems. Dating back to the 19th century, the citywide system attracted six million patrons in 2015 — and hosts one of the best slates of author events of any library system in the country.
For questions about the program, contact Elizabeth Kenny, the library's school age and outreach coordinator, at 215-686-5372 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Since using Twizzlebird to redesign and overhaul my website my average readership has increased by over 50%. I get continued compliments about the site and it's ease of use. Twizzlebird have been absolutely instrumental in making my business and products professional and competitive against the biggest publishers out there"
Joseph Alexander | Director
Website & email marketing project
The original site was put together using a standard template, we were engaged to create a look and feel more fitting with their established offering as well as to overhaul the user experience, we gave special focus to the downloadable audio resources as well as increasing engagement and promoting the companies many retail offerings such as books, apps and 1 to 1 tuition. In conjunction with this we were also asked to design a new email marketing template so that brand communication would remain consistent
Our Results
We created a site which is rich and inspiring. It is designed to lead and draw visitors through the breadth of content and resources and to make interaction super easy. The project included a responsive multi-media site that includes background video, audio and more with lots of interactivity. It also has a shop section where visitors can buy books. The email marketing template has a look and feel cohesive with the website, with built in flexibility to offer different layouts for each send.
Book cover design
Having done a lot of work to update the digital face of Fundamental Changes we then turned our hand to the physical, in this case the printed tuition books. These books were selling well via Amazon but the designs weren't consistent also they weren't as easy to notice in amongst busy eCommerce search results. We were commissioned to produce the company a design template that could be customised by them each time they produced a new publication.
Get started on your project
We love working on creative projects with interesting, forward thinking businesses just like this one. If you're looking to boost your business through digital design then talk to us. Our consultations are no obligation, we'll take the time to get to know your business, your customers and how best we can help you succeed. We then produce a detailed proposal complete with timescales and specifications for you to consider. Just fill in the form to get started

Simulation-based Analysis of the Differences in the Removal Rate of Chlorides, Nitrates and Sulfates by Electrokinetic Desalination Treatments
- Authors:
- 10.1016/j.electacta.2012.11.087
- Abstract:
- Due to their abundance in the natural environment, chloride, nitrate and sulfate salts are considered the main responsible for the salt-induced decay processes in building materials and sculptures. Electro-desalination techniques, enhanced with carbonated clay buffer poultice placed between the surface of the stone and the electrodes, have been successfully applied for the prevention of salt-induced deterioration problems of masonry and other construction materials. However, it has been experimentally observed that, in this type of treatments, the removal rate of sulfates is considerably slower than chlorides and nitrates. A physicochemical model for electrochemically-induced reactive-transport processes is described and used for a theoretical analysis of the influence of the chemical interactions on the removal rate of the target ions. Simulations for the electro-desalination of a brick sample contaminated with a combination of these target ions are shown. Results from simulations show that the lower removal efficiency of sulfates is related to the precipitation of gypsum inside the porous body. Modifications of the existing technique are suggested based on the simulation results.

Subject: Ruth Heflin's "Gold Dust" heresy
To: email@example.com
Dear Steve,
I just received an e-mail from the contenders website showing an occultic catholic like mystical heresy being propogated from a major player in the Brownsville movement...Ruth Heflin, who along with Brenda Kilpatrick will be speaking at the Dancing into Glory Conference in Ohio in March. It concerns what they term Gold Dust from heaven appearing on who Ruth Heflin calls a "holy woman" at her campground in Ashland Virginia.. [We are told that the "holy woman" is a Brazilian woman in residence there.] She also claims that gold oozes from [the woman's] pores and that this "holy woman" has seen visions of Benny Hinn with the gold dust appearing on him. I won't spoil anymore of the story go to the following website...
After the story...at the bottom of the page you can click to her home page and see in her newsletters that the gold dust is "appearing" on people at meetings in her ministry in Jerusalem. In one newsletter she boasts she is getting ready to celebrate Holy week..an obvious catholic tradition..but to no surprise she claims in her biography on her home page that she is"equally at home with catholics..as well as being experienced in a wide spectrum of Jewish endeavors"..as you noted in your website that she is involved in the Hebrew Roots Movement...
One newsletter she said she is getting ready to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Israel and the JUBILEE..she says in her Jerusalem meetings they call the gold..."ANGEL DUST"..
AND FINALLY...please read some of the quotes from her two books revival and revival glory to see the heresy that Brownsville has embraced ..she has spoken there and they revere her 'DOCTRINES' in these books as blueprints for revival..and one pastor from a church trying to imitate Brownsville read the book from the pulpit instead of the bible..she has become the new guru for many of the Brownsville groupies and when you read her quotes you can see this is clearly not biblical Christianity. But this gold story takes the cake....God Bless.....B_________
The following email was received on April 20, 1999:
"This gold thing is spreading rapidly. It is a transference of spirits just like the laughing thing. I am thinking about going over to see if its acting like the Brunswick one. I believe it is mystism and music plays a great role in it. Ruth Heflin is from an Independent Pentecostal family. She attends a Catholic church in Jerusalem and is into something called Jewish Roots. She has been very actively involved with Brownsville [AOG in Pensacola, FL.] and the Vineyard movements. I see that the deliverance ministry is needed but ignored in these strange fire movements. I keep myself covered with blood of Jesus."
"A man in our ministry took the tiny little pieces [of gold dust] to a jeweler. He said it is of a high order of gold. He said it would take a bucketful for it to be of value.
It is my understanding that this thing has been going on for about two years. We are going over next week to see what is happening there. I want to make two trips. One covering ourselves with the blood of Jesus and then two doing intensive warfare of binding the spirits of mammon, alchemy, bewitching spirits, blinding spirits, false prophets, etc. before going the second time to see what happens when a group goes and does the warfare.
In Brunswick,Christian Center Church, the Pastor is William T. Lignon, Sr., P.O. Box 2400 Brunswick, Ga 31521, the evangelist name is Bob Shattles of Douglas, Ga.
The gold just seems to appear from his pores and appears all over his clothes. It drops all over the floor. It looks like small pieces but you can see it. The things occurs down front in the well of the church when the people come up to praise and worship. It starts during the worship service.
When people are ministered to they fall out, slain on the floor. The spirit of divination, is working in conjunction with this phenomenon. It is during this time that people begin to manifest. One lady fell in front of us and began clutching her stomach with a look of pain on her face. She was groaning. We stretched our hands out and began to quietly take authority over these spirits, commanding them to go in the name of Jesus. In seconds, she got free. A peace came over her face and she when back to her seat.
Another young began to manifest. Her tongue kept darting out like a snake while she was down on the floor. A
group of women were wailing. Some had the laughing spirit on them.I believe this is a strong delusion. The evangelist claimed that the gold thing happened in Finney's meetings and also A.A.Allen's meetings. I have never read anything about it in my life.
Chasing after gold instead of Jesus may bring a great crowd. They claim that people are getting healed.
Ruth Heflin is from an old time Pentecostal family. She went to China at age 16 years old. Then she went Jerusalem. Someone gave her a million dollar house (note: someone said it was not a million) there and Christians come to see her from all over the world.
She's written several books. She attends a Catholic Church where she developed her praise and dancing ministry. She prophesies. She sings for about three hours each time she ministers. She believes, first you praise God then you go into worship, then you go into glory. She claims to go into visions and goes to various capitals of the world and dances and prophesies God's glory to change the atmosphere over the cities. She has a web page and you can see the woman from Brazil that this gold thing started with.
I believe these things to be Catholic mysticism and be witching spirits."
Received the following email on May 11, 1999
"It seems a couple of churches in these areas are networked with Burnswick. However, I am watching the effects on people that I personally know. They are drawn to it and are dropping out of their churches. We had one lady in our church that was a pretty good member until she visited this thing. She said the first night, something took a hold of her hands and squeezed them and that it hurt. Her hands stayed in a funny position and she was not able to move them for the rest of the night. Her hands were actually twisted, despite this, she has returned. She came to our church and I talked about bewitching, deceptive, religious spirits. We have not seen her since.
Another evangelist that I know, is driving over every time they open the church doors. She is having the gold dripping from her pores. No one sees anything. I have not been back and I think that I've seen enough. I feel so sorry for the church.
Witchcraft is everywhere.
We heard about a local church that puts two wash tubs in front of the altar. The people step into the first one to wash away their sicknesses and then they step into the second one to cleanse themselves. They have to pay the pastor 25.00 bucks to talk to him. They tie red cords around their wrist and neck to protect them from "evil spirits." They praise until they drop.
I weep for the people."
And yet another email on May 25, 1999 - Is this thing growing, or what?
"A pastor from St. Mary's Georgia, was on the radio saying, "I have 500 people in my church, I am praying about this gold dust revival because I am responsible for my people." Why does he have to pray? The bible dose not
say, "If gold dust be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me."
They are claiming that people are being healed of cancers by placing the gold dust on them. People are eating the stuff right off the floor. One local evangelist rented a limo and took a bunch of pastors to the gold mine. May
Jesus' people stay alert during these perilous times."
Email of June 15, 1999
"We lost another man to it this week. Funny thing, he tried to keep coming to our church after he attended and accepted the lie, his eyes immediately changed. Something would look out of his eyes at me and while his lips were saying one thing, his eyes were telling another story. He lasted under the Word of God for about two weeks before he took off.
This thing immediately separates people from the truth. The interesting thing is, that ordinary people are catching the alchemy spirit and the gold dust appears on their hands and starts rolling out of their pores. I believe it can be compared to the golden calf that God's people fell into worshipping. One woman evangelist says that she is taking this "blessing" to Africa. She says it is the "glory" of God. I told the person that related this too me that God's glory is far above gold dust. The blind are leading the blind and this material gospel is paying off now and stealing the souls of people."
Email of June 17, 1999
"This is really wild. My assistant and I went to this evangelist's house. The evangelist is not in the gold thing and believes that it is a bewitching spirit. The evangelist's daughter came into the room and joined the conversation. The daughter is not saved and was smoking a cigarette and drinking wine. Suddenly, gold dust began to appear on the unsaved daughter. It was on her face, hair, chest, shoulders and rounded her eyes as if she had put on gold dust eye-liner! Look, she's got that gold dust all over her, my assistant said. The girl said, What are you talking about. We took her to the mirror and she was shocked. No one had ever told her about the gold dust before. We took her to Ruth Heflin's page and showed her Silvania's gold falling out of her hair. This unsaved girl said, "Look, I am not a holy person and I do not want to be a kook, what can I do to get this stuff off me?" The Next day, I went to see her. "Is the gold still there?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but I've been as sick as a dog all night. My nose is stopped up and my throat is sore. Every time I move my head, it feels like my brain is floating." I asked her, "How did you get rid of the gold?" "I washed it off. That thing is not a holy thing from God." she said. I know this sound wild, but it really did happen."
Email of July 15, 1999 from London, England
"The golddust phenomena has arrived here. I was just watching a news item on one of the main stations (ITV) with the most respected news reporter in the UK today, Trevor McDonald about the golddust experience.
It seems people in one of the suburbs (Surrey) are experience their dental filings turning to gold. Others are experiencing the golddust on their body.
What surprises me is that this report is in the charismatic churches where the congregation are white middle-class people who are living in the suburbs AND not in the inner city of London where there is a concentration of black Pentecostals/charismatic. The people who are going through this experience seem very excited and all but a Church of England Vicar thinks it is God and it is a miracle.
Now that it has been given such a widespread advert on one of the main TV channels, within a few weeks it will be all over London, I am sure, and everybody will be running for gold. The people they interviewed are not uneducated - one was a
teacher and studying psychology and she was "testifying"' that it is God. Her dental filings turned to gold."
Email of August 1999
"Jacksonville's secular news channel 4, CBS, covered the gold dust thing in Christian Renewal Church in Brunswick, Ga. During the interview, they asked Rev, Bob Shattles was it real gold. He said that they did not know. A testimony was given about someone being healed of a cancer.
Well, the newsman said that he was going to test the flakes. Several days latter he reported that the gold flakes were NOT---I repeat---NOT real gold. He said that the gold stuff was a reflected, golden, cellophane.
Channel 4 in Jacksonville is the largest station in this area and it does reach up to Brunswick Ga.
It is interesting that when I saw Ruth Heflin and Bob Shattles on the local Christian station, they both claimed that they had tested the gold flakes and it was found that one side was of the purest gold and the other side was platinum with an oil in the center.
You may remember that a man, who is no longer coming to our church, claimed that he took the gold dust to a local jeweler and was told that it was gold dust but that it would take a bucket full to have any value.
Some one is lying."
Another email reported
Here are some other web sites about this.
The article is called spiritual alchemy--
February, 2000
According to the Lake Hamilton Bible Camp newsletter, VOICES FROM HIS EXCELLENT GLORY, January/February 2000 edition, the Hot Springs, Arkansas ministry has had the gold dust appear at their meetings.
October 15, 2000 email:
I guess you know that Ruth Heflin died on Sept. 23, 2000. Died of CANCER. TheLord told me that there was CANCER in the gold dust.
When this thing first started, I have it on tape that there is CANCER in this deception. We had several ministers here that went and had heart attacks immediately. If you look on heflin's web page, I don't see the gold dust splattered all over it. Sylvana has moved to Mehesh' page. You will see the link on heflin's page.
MARCH 2001 issue of CHARISMA magazine reported that Bob Shattles has liver CANCER.
July 18, 2001 - I got an email that said Bob Shattles died this day.

Legal practice is all about communication and information. Artificial intelligence (AI) enables improved and efficient use of information systems to commoditize basic and repetitive advice common to many legal issues. However, AI is misunderstood and has been the subject of a negative press. It has been wrongly associated with robots but robots occupy a special position in the "fear of the unknown" spectrum of human experience.
The thought of using algorithms to substitute for human decisions suggests an irreversible threat to democratic governance and the development of opaque decision making undertaken by computerized overlords.
The conclusion is just that – human decision making is fallible and can deliver outcomes that are perverse, wrong, expensive and often tragic.
Certainly, AI can provide more accurate data and do so better and faster than humans. If decision making is, as it should be, based on the objective accuracy and reliability of data, surely there is an argument for the decision-making process to call upon the systems that can deliver that data.
Experts define it to include technologies that seek to mimic cognitive functions humans typically associate with other human minds.
The deployment of AI into law has been with us for some time, and there's an inevitable need to extend it further. AI systems will enable the smarter use of lawyer's time and expertise. It will free lawyers up from repetitive tasks and enable far more targeted advice based on more accurate data analytics.
There are a number of ways in which AI can be deployed in legal practice; including:
Work Systems – a significant portion of a lawyer's work is automatable. Therefore, if the work is automated and the processing of information is done by a machine it means that the lawyer's time is released to attend to more nuanced and specialist advice.
Service Delivery – if a lawyer decides to automate certain processes it means that the client may have an alternative way of interfacing with the law firm. This way the interaction between the lawyer and the client can proceed without any hassle.
Client Interaction – instead of the traditional face-to-face model or the telephone or the use of e-mail, there is an additional facility, and it enables a lot of work to be done.
Legal Expert Systems
Legal expert systems are programs that replicate the thinking and actions of an expert on a specific question or task. A legal expert system is a domain-specific expert system that uses artificial intelligence to emulate the decision-making abilities of a human expert in the field of law.
Legal expert systems can also support administrative processes, facilitate decision-making processes, automate rule-based analyses and exchange information directly with citizen-users. The benefits for clients are improved outcomes, reduced risks, and reduced costs.
Legal expert systems are one part of a number of different AI applications. But what they do is that they allow the repetitive aspect of legal work – gathering information and applying fixed criteria to ascertain rule application – to be automated.
Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics is the practice of extracting information from existing data sets to determine patterns and predict future outcomes and trends. These tools add to a stable of technological innovation. Ravel Law focuses on easier, data-driven legal research, layering analytics on top of archives of case law data.
AI systems also introduce new alternatives for developing legal services or tools to provide answers to legal problems. This involves predictive analytics and intelligence augmentation.
Machine learning
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. In general, machine learning algorithms are designed to detect patterns in data and then apply these patterns to new data in order to automate particular tasks.
What AI is NOT – the demise of the "robolawyer"
The media often equate AI with robots. This raises the inevitable spectre that lawyers will be replaced by mechanical men carrying briefcases and certain changes will arise from AI as in, the elimination of the lawyer jobs etc.
Regardless of this perception, people should know that the greater use of technology will not at all reduce the requirement for lawyers since judgment is a skill.

After the success with the first trencher and the brilliant scheme on the NCO, I will do all "Trenchers" in that scheme instead and repaint the first one I made.
I thought I would start painting everyone at once since they all have same uniforms and hoping to save some time, which meant I would get to start to paint Rist to and WOW! He is turning out lovely! I have not yet dared to destroy my dear friend Rists face yet! What do you think about the scheme so far? Will throw up a pic of dear old Drougan to, so you get a hint at how the Blood Berets and Special Forces will look like!
Like this, but with the grey from the Trenchers trenchcoats on legs and arms! ;)

Gone to the Dogs Tom Lohr was on a quest: to find the best combination of baseball and hot dogs that North America's major league ballparks have to offer. His 103-day odyssey to find the perfect processed meat led him to rate all 30 major league dogs and their ballparks, as well as 35 minor league offerings.
With help from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Tom created a system that judges each stadium's hot dog on six factors: bun freshness, taste, toppings, price, portability, and an "it" factor, meaning a famous dog or specialty dogs. Just as important are the categories for ballparks: location, general admission ticket price, location, cleanliness, fans, and ambiance.
Living out the gastronomic adventure portrayed in Gone to the Dogs required sacrifices to stay on budget: sleeping most nights in the back of his small SUV (and crashing on the couches of strangers on others) and exploiting how much wi-fi and hot water one cup of coffee buys. During the 19,000-mile road trip to find the best hot dog experience, Tom encountered creative chefs, diehard fans, young entrepreneurs, old friends and meat manufacturers. They all have one thing in common: a passion for all facets of baseball and its partner in crime, the humble hot dog.
Tom Lohr got his first taste of big league baseball in Three Rivers Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose games he and his family listened to at their West Virginia home. The Navy veteran spent 24 years working on missile systems. Tom also built oil and natural gas pipelines and spent 13 months on a research station at the South Pole.
The outdoor enthusiast scaled Mount Fuji, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Blanc, The Matterhorn, Pic de Aneto and other peaks, as well as hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland and the Camino de Santiago in Spain. He enjoys talking about baseball and hot dogs and can be reached via his blog: ballparkdogs.blogspot.com. Tom loves hot dogs with mustard and relish and thinks putting ketchup on hotdogs should be a criminal offense.

Novartis Oncology Consolidation Center Building Three in East Hanover, N.J.
Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for a new 310,000-square-foot building on Novartis' East Hanover campus. The building will house 800 open workstations, a 50-seat café, a fitness center and conference rooms.
The office building for the oncology division is part of a consolidation program, which is a component of a larger master plan development of the East Village portion of the campus, scheduled through 2050. The structure has an extensively glazed roof and curtain wall that is suspended from architecturally exposed built-up box beams at the roof level. The building contains two architecturally exposed concrete shearwall cores on either side of the atrium.
Project challenges included designing elements around exposed steel and concrete features for each floor, and limiting glass deflection, vibrations and movement because of the glass exterior façade. This unusual feature was configured in the design phase with the long-span structural elements. Revit was coordinated throughout the whole project allowing better architectural and engineering team coordination while saving time.

ALL the Franco ladies 🙂 We're quite a crew!!!
Gabriel and his second cousin, the lovely Miss Brittani Schneider
Michael and me with my new dark 'do 🙂 I don't know if you realize that the lei I'm wearing is sort of strategically twisted and placed. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm quite a bit more buxom than I was the last time I put it on (especially since it was nearing Gabriel's feeding time)! I made the mistake of not trying on this dress before I put it on for the party, and I was mortified that anyone at least at eye level with me could see straight down the front of the dress. Thank goodness for the lei; otherwise, I was planning on holding a drink cup in front of my chest all night!
Meeting Aunt Jenay for the first time! And going directly for the hair, as is becoming more a more a habit with him…
Meeting Uncle Chris for the first time!
All the Franco couples…Little did I know when I met Jenay and Jackie in 2006 that we'd all be married and sisters forever by July of 2010!
I just procured this picture of Gabriel's great uncle Markie letting him wear his mustache for a while at the Mexican fiesta shower a couple of weeks ago. We didn't have much for Gabriel's costume and I guess Uncle Markie felt sorry for him. 🙂 It was pretty darn cute.
Leave a Reply
Jenay finally got to meet him! She was so upset she had not yet. 🙂 Cher.
Yes. You are right–I forgot. My excuse is that I was still in a post-partum blur 🙂
Chris met Gabriel when he was 3 weeks old. This was the second time they met.
I'm just noticing that I look like an absolute GIANT next to all the other Franco Ladies. That's because I'm three inches taller than the tallest one (Jenay) and they were all wearing flats while I had 2" heels on. Oh well 🙂

Many of us have seen those old PowerPoint presentations at work or from school that include those horrible swooping effects of text which seem to come down and swoop around before landing, or perhaps the notoriously irritating bouncing text mechanism where text drops from the top of the screen to the bottom and seems to bounce like a pixelated little ball. Elements like these and many others are probably what just came to mind when you read 'animation' and this is what many people think of when they think of an animated presentation. However, depending on how it is done and the way in which it is designed and structured, adding animation to your website can be a way of drawing users into it to a greater degree and make something eye catching as well.
It's important not to let previous bad experiences with animation keep you from using animation on your own website. There are a wide variety of animation techniques available through graphic design for websites. Finding the right graphic design for websites, specifically for the websites which you run and operate, is an important part of making an engaging presentation that customers and potential clients will want to see and which will help them relate better to the site.
With the right website designer, you can have animation which is subtle and does not necessarily draw attention to itself, or is done in such a way that it is tasteful and not offensive to behold. Animation should always be done as a way of helping a client engage with your website – it should never be done for the sake of simply showing an animation effect. This leads us to the biggest rule about animation for your website and that is the animation must have a purpose. Purposeless animations are irritating and divert attention away from the more serious meat of your website.
There is one other critically important rule about animation besides that it should not be annoying, should not divert attention away from important elements of your website, and that it must have a purpose – the last rule is it must be well designed. This might seem like a given but there are a wide variety of websites out there which prove that this one should not be taken for granted. The fact is many people may try to save a dollar here or there, or worse yet try and produce animation effects on their own that utterly fail to capture what they are intending and actually can come out looking dated, cheesy, or totally unbecoming of a professional level website.
If your animation looks like it was made cheaply or poorly, that will reflect negatively on you as a business. Your animation should ideally serve a marketing purpose so when an individual thinks about the animation or they see it they are instantly reminded of you and your product not of how much that animation annoys them. Don't let the animation steal the show but rather let it be a member of the team that helps you sell your website and yourself to your clients for years to come.

|This article is about an episode of the Pokémon anime that has not been dubbed into English. As such, its coverage may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
(Japanese: サトシ、時を超えた出会い! Satoshi, Encounter Beyond Time!) is the 125th episode of the Sun & Moon series, and the 1,064th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on June 9, 2019.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
A Celebi flies through a time ripple and stumbles across Ash and his Pokémon in the middle of a practice battle. Pikachu unleashes a powerful Thunderbolt, though Rowlet flies around and evades the attack. It replies with a Seed Bomb, however its Everstone strikes a tree before ricocheting back into Rowlet's head. Rowlet hits Ash's face in its dizzied state. Rotom notices that everyone appears excited and Ash replies that the Pokémon League is just around the corner.
Over at the Professors' residence, Professor Burnet shows her husband one of his childhood photos. Kukui is embarrassed by it, admitting that he was only five years old at the time, however Burnet finds it incredibly adorable. He queries where she found it and Burnet pulls out an old book she found in a storage closet. Kukui is thrilled to see his old "Super Pokémon Move Index" guidebook and reminisces about the times he used to spend watching Hala's battles. As a child Kukui challenged Hala, however the Island Kahuna admitted that he was still too young at the time. Kukui was unfazed and proudly showed off his Firium Z. Burnet's attention soon turns to the Litten also featured in the photo, and Kukui explains that Litten was actually his parent's Pokémon.
Meanwhile Ash's training session wages on. Torracat uses a Fire Blast attack and Lycanroc counters with Stone Edge. The resulting explosion whips up a powerful gust which triggers Celebi to time travel to escape, however it also accidentally transports Ash and Torracat into the past along with it. Ash calls out to Lycanroc and Pikachu, only to get no response. Torracat begins hissing at something in the nearby bushes, and a Litten soon reveals itself. Oddly enough, Torracat appears to recognize the Litten as Kukui's Incineroar, and soon enough, a young boy, the future Professor Kukui, emerges from the bushes. Kukui is thrilled to see a Torracat in-person and tries to pat it, however Torracat steps back and begins raising the hairs on its back in anger. As Ash pats Torracat to settle it, Kukui spots Ash's Z-Power Ring and asks if he is taking part in the island challenge. Kukui shows off his own Firium Z and Ash admits that he doesn't even have that Z-Crystal yet. The young Kukui declares himself the winner before asking Ash to show him a fully-fledged Inferno Overdrive. Ash has his doubts, but Torracat reassures him otherwise. He borrows Kukui's Firium Z and prepares to aim an attack at a rock, which he seems to not remember. Ash takes a moment to recall how Kiawe performs the Z-Move and, to his own surprise, his own attempt at it works. The Inferno Overdrive destroys the target rock into small fragments. Kukui is thrilled by powerful display and gives Ash the nickname "Move King". He then challenges Ash to a battle, and he happily accepts.
A crowd of wild Pokémon have assembled. Ash whispers to Torracat to go easy on the young boy's Litten, however Kukui demands not to be treated like a kid. Ash adheres to the young boy's request and agrees to use full power moves only. He nicknames the boy "Gao" because of his signature Incineroar hat. Kukui takes the nickname in his stride as he issues his first attack, an Ember. Torracat simply swats away the move with its front paw before with a Flame Charge. Ash orders a follow-up Fire Blast. Gao struggles to think of a counter attack and soon Litten is knocked out. He tears at his loss, but Litten begins licking his face to cheer him up. Ash walks over and congratulates Litten on its efforts, and the little Fire-type smiles back. He tells Gao that they can battle another time, but Gao declares that using fire Blast was unfair. Ash admits that it was Gao who wanted a full power battle. The young boy is upset by his loss, but Ash declares that there is always the chance he can win next time. The advice instantly perks Gao up, and he tells Litten that they will continue to get stronger and one day beat the Move King.
Torracat tugs on Ash's shorts to inform him that they are being watched. Gao admits the wild Pokémon are his friends and waves them over. The Pokémon quickly rush out of the woods to swarm the two Trainers. Shortly after a Totem Trevenant approaches them. Gao rushes towards Trevenant, referring to it as "Grandpa Oh". As he leaps onto one of Grandpa Oh's roots, Gao admits that the Totem Pokémon gifted him the Firium Z. Grandpa suddenly sneezes, so Gao has Litten use Scratch to ease its symptoms. Torracat is keen to assist, but Gao explains that Litten's claws are small enough to help with Trevenant's itch.
Suddenly dark clouds begin to build followed by a rainstorm. To combat the wet conditions, Trevenant manipulates the trees with a special power into shelter for all the Pokémon, Ash and Gao. Ash's attention turns to the book in Gao's hands, and he explains that it is his trusty move index. Gao declares that seeing moves in-person is much better and queries Ash on how Torracat learned Fire Blast. Ash admits that it is simply practice. Gao is curious about Ash's battle experiences, and Ash explains that before coming to Alola he travelled to many cities to compete in Gyms and battle their resident Gym Leaders. Ash adds that a successful Trainer earns a Badge, and with enough Badges they can compete in the region's Pokémon League. The sound of a battle festival instantly thrills Kukui, and he queries what happens after you win a League. Ash doesn't answer, instead he adds that he wants to become a Pokémon Master. Gao doesn't understand the concept but declares that he wants to become a Master.
The rain suddenly eases and the sunlight illuminates the area once again. Ash and Kukui thank Grandpa Oh for its help. However, Trevenant begins sneezing again. Litten rushes to Scratch its back, but the cure doesn't work this time. Litten urges Torracat to assist, and together the pair climb up into Trevenant's head canopy. Ash quickly reaches the top of Trevenant's head, and with a helpful lift from a Heracross, Gao also joins him. Ash and Gao soon spot the problem, a horde of Cutiefly seeking refuge. He and Ash lift them out of Trevenant's shrubbery before using their Fire Pokémon to dry off their wet wings. The Cutiefly soon flutter away and Trevenant is feeling relieved. Grandpa Oh produces a Firium Z, and it lands in Ash's hand. Gao admits that he got his Z-Crystal after he first helped Grandpa Oh, and so Ash accepts the gift.
Celebi soon flies by and notices an aura radiating from Ash and Torracat. As Ash and Torracat leap down from Trevenant's head, Celebi whisks the pair back to their own time. Gao lands on the ground, only to notice Ash's mysterious absence, though Trevenant and Litten are unable to offer any insight. Back in his own time, Ash turns to Grandpa Oh, but notices that only a tree trunk with overgrown remains. Ash's other Pokémon rush over to greet their Trainer, greatly relieved to see him back. Ash notices that Lycanroc and the others appear particularly dirty, but he is unable to understand their Pokémon speech replies. Rotom then returns after trying to chase down Celebi for a snapshot.
Later, Ash and his Pokémon return home to see Burnet preparing lunch. She spots his dirty hands and orders Ash to wash his hands at once before calling Kukui in for the meal. As Ash follows through, Rotom happily shows Burnet its picture of Celebi. She is startled to see the Mythical Pokémon, admitting that it must have been drawn to the forest's natural beauty. Meanwhile Ash calls Kukui over for lunch. Kukui slots in his childhood photo as a bookmark before closing up his move guidebook.

Hours after Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he's halting his acting career, TMZ reported that his animated The Governator series is on indefinite hold. "In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics and Archie Comics have chosen to not go forward with the Governator project," a rep told the website.

Rapparees 5-6 Shamrocks 1-15
The minor hurlers dug out a win against the Shamrocks in the second round of the championship last Sunday. It took us a long time to get going and the Rockies went into an early lead, scoring an early goal and latching on a few well taken points.
Our lads kept at it however and we got points from Craig Foley and Adam Kirwan and a couple of frees from Jack Doyle which were then topped with a goal by Jack Mythen following a brave run from Mick Dempsey. Another goal from Jack left us only behind by a point at half time 2-4 to 1-8.
It was tight all the way in the second period but goals from JP Farrell, Mick Dempsey and Will Doyle were the difference. Final score: Rapps 5-6 Shamrocks 1-15.
Team: Anto Larkin, Joe Collins, Nathan O'Connor, Kevin Kehoe, Robbie O'Neill, Ronan Kirwan, Dylan McVeigh, Adam Kirwan (0-1), Oisin Cullen, Jack Doyle, JP Farrell (1-0), Craig Foley (0-2), Michael Dempsey (1-0), Jack Mythen (2-0), Ryan Doran, Darren Fortune, Barry Doyle, Will Doyle (1-0), Gavin Murphy, Colm O'Brien, Michael Cullen.
