Father Sasha has been teaching the children at Dee Why School Scripture every Thursday morning for the past eight years.
Father Sasha commenced teaching Scripture in 2004 at which time; there were 36 Serbian children in the school, which comprised a thick density of the total number of students enrolled in the school.
Earlier this year Father Sasha was presented with an award from ICCOREIS (Inter-Church Commission on Religious Education in Schools-NSW) at Parliament House for recognition of his dedication to teaching Scripture to Orthodox children.
Today, for some children, was their final scripture lesson with Father Sasha, the children, said their prayers and sang "Oj Badnjace" as an item for the combined Scripture school assembly. The children were beaming with pride, given the prayers and song they had learnt with Father Sasha
Recently, when Father Sasha was unable to attend Scripture one morning last month, the proxy stepped in, she took the children for Scripture for the 45 minute session to avoid them being placed in non-scripture classes.
Their little faces were so disappointed that Father Sasha couldn't make it. One of the children said, "You know we love when Father Sasha comes." (Then, also quickly added), "We like you too, "but when Father Sasha comes we're really special 'cause, you know, he's the Pop"
As that particular morning was St Demetrius / Mitrovdan, I asked the class if anyone could tell me about Feast Days / Patron Saint's Days. The children quickly corrected me and said, "You mean Slava, because that's what it's called in Serbian, "Father Sasha said". The children were very thorough and detailed, with all their responses about Slava, the traditions, the spiritual / religious importance, family connections and what was needed to celebrate Slava.
However, what continually flowed through was that every response throughout that 45min session commenced with "Father Sasha said", or "Otac Sasha told us, or Pop Sasha said"
We continued our Scripture lesson and together we read the Bible story of one of the miracles that Jesus Christ performed, when Jesus feed five thousand people with two fishes and five loaves of bread.
After we read the story, one of the children raised his hand quickly, and inquired directly, "Are you sure this is our religion and are you sure you're Serbian?" "Cause I've never heard this story before!" And, "I'm going to tell Father Sasha next week about this story you read!"
I assured the children, that this indeed was a story from the Bible. However, I was quite bemused of the "dobbing me in" threat to Father Sasha.
Overall, the reality is, Father Sasha may think he simply comes once a week for a 45 minute Scripture class and it's no big deal. But the truth of the matter is, the 45 minute lesson Father Sasha has with the children, leaves a lasting impact on them, as sadly, some of the children seldom attend church, whilst for others it may be the only foundation and path to our faith. What is also prevalent, is how much the children love and adore their Father Sasha and the positive impact he has on the children is priceless.

Dear Maki...
I have really enjoyed your Just Bento website and become such the bento-holic! Your book is amazing, so 'arrigato gozaimas!'
I'm a Purser on board American Airlines and we recently had a dish that I thought would make an excellent salad in a bento box. I'm still a novice, but eagerly learn from the masters such as yourself! The dish was some sort of a seaweed saled with dark, thin slices of seaweed (Wakame, Hijiki? I really don't know) It also had edamame, white sesame seeds and a mandarin orange slice on top. I took pictures so you can see what I'm describing.
Since I'm such a novice, I don't know the different types of seaweed and what dressing was used. But I CAN tell you that it was deliscious!!!
I was unable to attache the photos onto this form so if you'd like to see the photos, I can send them via an email.
I thank you in advance for your kind thoughts and your take on this dish.
My sincerest regards,
Maki may not be able to answer this for a little while. She's having an operation today (at least on the 14th, which is now here, but in a few hours where she is) and might not a) have access to the internet, or b) feel up to posting.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Well, all my best, with love to Maki for a quick recovery!
She's quite the inspiration and is worth the wait!
Get well soon, Maki
Hi Frank
That salad sounds excellent! Did you find a recipe for it? I'd love to see it :)
cheers, Anne

Brownington Woman Accused of Murdering Husband in Car Crash
CHARLESTON, VT – Christine Billis, 42 of Brownington, has been arrested for first degree homicide in the death of her husband, Charles Billis, 57 of Brownington, following a Vermont State Police investigation into the September 22, 2009 vehicle accident on Line Farm Road and VT RT 5A in Charleston.Christine Billis sustained injuries and was taken to North Country Hospital for treatment. Charles Billis, the passenger, was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated. Charles Billis was then taken to North Country Hospital where he was pronounced dead.The initial crash investigation conducted at the scene by the Vermont State Police indicated that the Billis' vehicle was traveling south on VT Route 5A when it struck a large pine tree near the intersection of Line Farm Road. The crash occurred during the day, under clear skies, and dry road conditions. Speed was not considered a factor by the investigating trooper; however Charles Billis was not wearing a seat belt. At the time of the crash, it was believed that the driver may have experienced a medical episode that might have contributed to the crash.Recently, information became available regarding the investigation, which led police to believe that the crash may not have been accidental. As a result of the continuing investigation by the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, detectives determined that the crash was the result of an intentional act by Christine Billis.Christine Billis was arrested and lodged at the Northern State Correctional Center in Newport and is being held without bail. Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Vermont State Police Derby Barracks, 802-334-8881.

Yeah that's terrible. What is up with this stupid trend of toy companies not advertising their other products on the back of boxes anymore?
Got my shipping notice from EE tonight.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask.. but what the hell..Black series - all original figures? No repacks or repaints right? What about the Clone Sergeant, Stormtrooper, and Biker Scout?
Are the Clones repaints of the TVC Lieutenant they did last year?

C.S. Lewis on Evolution and Intelligent Design
| By Michael L. Peterson
This article is a comprehensive study of the views of Christian author and apologist C. S. Lewis on the theory of evolution and the argument from intelligent design. It explains how he would distinguish expressly philosophical arguments for a Transcendent Mind from the current claims of the intelligent design (ID) movement to provide scientific evidence for such a reality.

Welders customize their own ArcStation at www.MillerWelds.com/ArcStation
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. introduces ArcStation(tm): the first workstation designed specifically for welding and metalworking. This purpose-built workbench is affordable, fully customizable and perfect for industrial pros and home hobbyists alike. Welders choose an approximately 30- x 30-in. or 30- x 60-in. table, a 3/16- or 3/8-in. tabletop, and customize it with optional accessories, including an X-Pattern tabeltop, X-Clamps, tool chest, weld curtain, vise, and an assortment of shelving options.
ArcStation models start at $352 and are customized from there. ArcStation allows welders to replace older, makeshift welding benches with a safe, sturdy and ergonomically designed workstation. The optional X-Pattern design simplifies clamping and cleanup. The frame is constructed of 1/8-in. steel, has a rear crossbar and leveling feet on each leg for maximum strength and stability.
Product Manager Quotes
"On most workbenches the welder is limited to clamping around the outside edges of the table top. If you do need to clamp in the middle of the table you either had to tack weld the parts to the tabletop or unclamp and reposition everything. With ArcStation's X-Pattern table top and exclusive clamps, you simply slide the custom X-clamp into the nearest slot and clamp your parts where you need to – no tacking parts to the table or moving and re-clamping everything." -Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.
"We have priced ArcStation so that it is affordable for everyone. If you take a look at the materials, tools and time it would take you to build a customized welding station, you will see that ArcStation is a great value, and it is built to Miller's high quality standards." -Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.


text: The Woman's Fire Auxiliary was inaugurated in June 1940, as a means for women to assist in the War Effort. Lady Wakehurst, the wife of the Governor of NSW, was a driving force in the formation of the WFA, and was subsequently elected president.The first members were recruited from the WANS (Women's Australian National Service), and among other things, were put through an eight week course in Air Raid Procedures, dealing with incendiary bombs, fires in the home, rescue work, first aid, operating chemical extinquishers, station procedures, and Watchroom Duties. On passing an examination, they were attached to the Fire Station in their locality, and continued to advance in their training from there. They did one night of drill per week for 1.5 hours, and another night watchroom duty. They were initially recruited from 30-45 year old members of the WANS, and were supplied with a uniform consisting of tunic, skirt, hat, gloves, stockings shoes, shirt, tie, lapel badge, Duperite helmet, overalls and two shoulder badges. This age restriction was later relaxed, and the WFA was opened to members of the public. Records show that the WFA had members attached to Headquarters, and District Stations, as early as 1941. At the conclusion of the war, the WFA was disbanded.

Marlon Brando's Son, Richard Pryor's Daughter Both Deny Claims Their Fathers Had Sex
In separate statements, both Marlon Brando's son and Richard Pryor's daughter have come forward to deny claims that their respective fathers had sex with each other in the '70s.
Their comments come after music icon Quincy Jones gave a wild interview with Vulturek, where he claimed that Brando and Pryor had sex.
"He'd fuck anything," Jones, 84, said of Brando. "He'd fuck a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye."
Pryor's widow Jennifer Lee later confirmed Jones' comments when speaking to TMZ, saying the two men had sex and that the late comedian wouldn't be ashamed of it. Lee said Pryor was very open about his bisexuality and wrote about his encounters in his diaries, which she plans on publishing later this year. She also said that drugs were the reason Pryor and Brando hooked up.
"It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes," she told TMZ. "If you did enough cocaine, you'd fuck a radiator and send it flowers in the morning."
But since Lee spoke with TMZ, both Brando's son and Pryor's daughter have separately come forward to deny the claims.
Taking to Facebook last Thursday, Rain Pryor, who is one of the comedian's seven children, wrote a lengthy post in which she disputed her step-mother's claims that the two stars had relations, calling Lee a "bottom feeder."
"All you who touted Faux News and preach about wanting blacks to be represented in a great light and then posted Q's interview are irrelevant and full of your own BS," Rain, 48, wrote, according to People magazine. "Q, was once a brilliant music producer who is losing his mind, and decided to garner publicity for himself with a sensationalized interview; and because y'all think and equate Fame and Money with decency, you ate it up like thirsty dogs, as he spewed out a lie about my father who's not here to defend himself."
She added:
"Y'all so thirsty and LOVE THEM but ever know the real source or full story, and you're gonna wonder how 45 became president? WAKE UP!!!...So read this, I don't need you as a fan or a friend. I don't need anyone in my life that thinks a sensationalized interview is relevant and 'incredibly well done,' " Rain added. "People who lie or share information to raise themselves up are bottom feeders no matter how much money or influence they have. Wrong is still wrong!!! #GTFOH."
Rain's Facebook post has since been deleted.
This week, however, Brando's son Miko spoke with TMZ about the story, saying his family is "disappointed."
"The Marlon Brando family has heard the recent comments by Quincy Jones and we are disappointed that anyone would make such a wrongful comment about either Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor," he said.
After all the back-and-forth with the Brando/Pryor family, Jezebel writer Rich Juzwaik put it best with his piece: "How Do People Know Who Their Parents Did Or Did Not Have Sex With?" Click here to read that.

The Rogue River and trail head parking from the Graves Creek Bridge.
When you are confronted with the word "sofa" one often conjures up images of a soft piece of furniture that one can recline upon. But here in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, runners have brought a new meaning to the word "SOFA". Southern Oregon Fat Ass...a full 50 kilometers of it...roughly 31 miles for those that don't know their conversions.
So, what exactly is a Fat Ass? Truth be told, there's nothing really exact about it. Fat Asses or FA's is the name given to a series of low key runs that are frequented by runners. The phrase "No Fees, No Awards, No Aid, No Wimps" describes the run to a tee. FA's are free to enter and are put on by other runners who usually run the unorganized event as well. Since it's really not an organized race, there is no guarantee of anything other than a course to run (maps may or may not be included), and don't expect course markings or aid out on the course. It's a good way to shed unwanted holiday pounds and prep your body for the upcoming spring racing season. FA's occur all over the world during the winter months. Heck, there are four to choose from here in Oregon alone.
The SOFA 50K begins at the Graves Creek Boat Launch along the lower end of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. The trail the SOFA course follows can eventually be taken along the river for 40 miles to the village of Agness, OR. SOFA runners, however, ran an out and back course, distances travelled by runners ranged from 54 kilometers to 10 miles. In total, 31 runners (and many doggies) showed up for this year's non-event, breaking the attendance record of 27 set two years ago.

A group shot of some hardy souls...
Here's a list of those who showed, how far they ran and how fast they did it. As you can see, even the results follow suit with the Fat Ass theme...lots of inclusive evidence.

I wish I didn't have to work, it is so beautiful out there!
It is always great to see so many ladies participating, will we see their faces at the group runs? I hope, I hope :)

Yes, people. Now that the sun is staying out longer we want to see more of you on the group runs!
I have to mention the dead black bear we encountered along the Rogue River Trail on Saturday. It is one of the strangest things I have ever seen on a trail run. That, and seeing Abbey (Hal's dog) down some Clif Shots.
We'll have to run to the coast this summer.

After a nice relaxing day of kicking back and enjoying the marvelous white-sand beach, you can head back to the hotel to one of the two restaurants located close to the seaside. The Caneel Beach Terrace and the more laid back Beach Terrace Bar are both great places to enjoy a delicious meal and lay back enjoying the sweet Caribbean breeze. The hotel offers free WiFi and continental breakfasts for all of its guest. This attraction is perfect for both young couples as well as families and offers something that caters to tourists of all ages.

MIDDLEBURY — Around 20 Middlebury taxpayers who used the state's Homeland Program in acquiring their homes were alarmed last week to see their property assessments rise dramatically to fair market levels following elimination of a formula governing how participating properties are valued.

The article "Lawmakers lament school tax hikes" (Addison Independent, March 13) made me concerned because the lawmakers didn't see the disconnect between the school budgets' changes and the state's school property tax rate.
PANTON — Many, but not necessarily all, Panton homeowners should see lower tax bills when they open the envelopes this week, according to town treasurer M'Lissa Dayton.
Because Panton has just completed a town-wide reappraisal and individual assessments have changed, Dayton said maybe not all taxpayers will see bills asking for lower payments, half of which are due on Nov. 1 and May 1, respectively.
"They (the results) will vary, and you will be getting them shortly," she said.

Worldwide petrophysical consulting services & software
Digital Formation provides consulting and technical services for geological and petrophysical activities, as well as analysis and presentation software. Our focus is on extracting as much information as possible from triple-combo log data.
It is commonly recognized that unconventional reservoir systems have mixed wetting – both a water-wet fraction and an oil-wet fraction. Analysis of rock samples has been used for many years to measure reservoir wetting (Kumar et al 2015). However, there are no currently available petrophysical techniques for wetting categorization using readily available logging suites. In 2016 (AAPG, Las Vegas) using triple-combo logs we presented data from a number of unconventional reservoirs categorizing the porosity component that is water-wet, and recognizing another component that is oil-wet. The oil-wet component is organic porosity, generated from the total organic carbon during the thermal maturation process. This organic porosity has not been previously calculated in standard petrophysical analysis.
The approach has very significant applications to the study of flow characteristics of unconventional reservoirs. The amounts of porosity that are oil-wet and water-wet can be quantified level by level. Each component will have markedly different flow characteristics to derive a combined response for the total system.
Using triple-combo logs, it is possible to quantify four porosity components, namely clay porosity, total organic carbon, effective porosity (inorganic), and effective porosity (organic) (Holmes, et al 2017). Organic porosity is formed during thermal maturation of the total organic carbon.
Comparisons can be made between organic porosity and total organic carbon to relate to the comparisons of Ro and percent porosity in the kerogen (Modica and Lapierre 2012).
In a comparison of the Bakken of North Dakota with Mowry data, it appears that the Bakken has significantly greater organic porosity development – about 30% of the TOC (Ro = 0.67) has been converted to porosity. The Modica and Lapierre Mowry data indicates a 10% conversion at Ro = 0.67.
Examples from the Bakken of North Dakota (left) and the Modica and Lapierre Mowry data (right)
LESA is Windows based software that will provide complete deterministic log analysis and interpretation. The following file formats are supported:
Most open-hole logs may be incorporated into the interpretations, from a minimum of a single porosity log, to any combination of modern log suites, and incorporate specific tool responses of the major service companies.
The software provides the user a series of templates for graphical output and gives the ability to modify these or create totally new templates as needed. Net pay and net sand calculations can be determined for any designated interval, using cutoff parameters defined by the interpreter. Sub-zones are summed for a complete reservoir appraisal.
RIS-View is Windows® based software that provides a very quick and simple way to view digital files. The following file formats are supported:
One of the primary strengths of RIS-View is the ease of use; it allows the user to quickly see the digital data they are working with. The presentation can be done using one of several plot templates provided with the product, or the user can modify one of these to meet specific needs. There is also the feature that allows the user to develop as many plot templates to their specifications as needed. New plots are created through the use of Wizards that guide the user through the creation in an effortless manner.
Another strength of RIS-View is the fact there is no limit to the number of tracks or curves used on a template. These tracks can also be annotated with formation top information where desired. The user may also create forms to present information as either a header or trailer to the log. Customization is made easy through several options that allow placement and sizing of multiple forms on a template.
Many users of RIS-View are using the software to verify the data they have purchased is usable, correct and what they needed to get the project done. The versatility of RIS-View allows them to quickly open the application and import a file. With the ability to modify or produce templates that are designed to their needs it is an easy and effortless way to verify their data.
The product has the ability to be automated so it will link to other applications. One of the main reasons a user would want to do this is to do accurate "check" logs when digitizing data. This automation capability also allows users to have RIS-View run in the background of another application and perform the log function upon menu command.
RIS-Info is Windows® based software that provides a complete composite presentation package for all types of logs. The following file formats are supported:
Mudlogs, wireline logs, MWD/LWD, survey and test data are provided at the wellsite by the service companies, often in multiple files, and in a variety of formats. RIS-Info enables the user to import all these different types of data into a single database. RIS-Info also stores the drawn lithology, geologic modifiers, engineering symbols, annotation text and images, which may be incorporated into the overall presentation.
The user may use one of the many plot templates that are provided with the product for data presentation, including things such as TVD and time plots. Tadpole plots can be included on the same presentation, as desired. These templates are easily modified to meet the user's specific needs, or with the assistance of a Wizard new templates can be created. There is no limit to the number of tracks or curves used on a template. The user may also create forms to present information as either a header or trailer to the log. Customization is made easy through several options that allow placement and sizing of multiple forms on a template. (See sample output)
Users of RIS-Info have found the graphics capability of this product to be extremely powerful. This is the primary strength of the product and is why Digital Formation feels this product is one of the premier graphical solutions for the E&P Industry. This group has found that the ability to import high-resolution graphics such as thin sections makes this an extremely valuable presentation tool.
The product contains all the common lithology symbols, engineering symbols and modifiers the average user needs to present his log information in an impressive manner. The user may also add additional symbols. Full color is provided to all presentations. Annotations can be stored in the database for the well.
Whether you need to present data to management or partners, RIS-Info will meet all your needs.

Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes, plus chilling time for the soup
Servings: This makes a scant 2 quarts soup
Note: This recipe calls for the use of a chinois, a very fine strainer; chinois are available at cooking and restaurant supply stores, as well as online. This recipe also calls for a juicer; juicers are generally available at home and kitchen supply stores, as well as online (the Test Kitchen tested the recipe using a blender instead of a juicer, and passed the purée through a strainer). Keller suggests serving the soup garnished with basil crème fraîche or cherry tomato confit.
1/2 cup chopped shallots, cut into large dice
1/2 cup chopped leeks, cut into large dice
1 cup chopped onions, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
2 1/2 cups peeled, chopped baking potatoes, cut into large dice
1 quart water, or as needed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
2 cucumbers
3 tablespoons mint leaves
1. In a large pot, sweat the shallots, leeks and onions in butter until completely soft. Add the diced potatoes and enough water to cover. Bring the water to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Add the cream and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
2. Transfer the soup in three batches to a blender and purée, adding one tablespoon of crème fraîche to each batch. Once puréed, pass the soup base through a fine chinois into a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
3. Taste each cucumber to ensure that there is no bitter flavor. Cut the cucumbers into chunks, combine with mint leaves and then pass through a juicer; you should have at least 1½ cups juice (save any extra for another use). When the soup base is completely chilled, combine it with the 1½ cups cucumber juice and season to taste.

After a windy spring weekend outdoors, I found myself battling itchy eyes and a watery nose yesterday.
Seasonal allergy symptoms are back.
For those who suffer from pollen allergy symptoms, you know how easily the tiny allergens travel…everywhere.
But treatment of seasonal allergies isn't the only option. I much prefer preventing symptoms altogether, rather than relying on allergy remedies once I'm already dealing with histamines.
Here are the two main ways I prevent allergy symptoms:
- Keep windows and doors closed. Pollen travels mostly through the air, so I don't let it blow into my house.
- Wash your hair and clothes soon after returning from the outdoors. Pollen will attach to you outdoors, and you'll help it set up shop around your house by simply moving around and making contact. (Think about everything you touch: your pillows and sheets, your furniture, your carpet…)
So, because vacuuming your floors and washing your clothes and sheets is such a huge component to prevention, those with terrible allergies have found relief in some products designed with them in mind:
LG's Allergiene cycle from its TrueSteam washer and dryer
LG's Allergiene washer cycle uses steam power to gently remove over 95% of common household allergens, like dust mites and pet dander, from even the most delicate fabrics.
Plus, you can safely sanitize nonwashable items like pillows and toys in LG's steam dryer, which is what I did with all my throw pillows last night.
AquaFilter system in the Rotho Twin TT 580 canister vacuum
Rotho uses water and a HEPA filter to trap dust and dirt, not a canister or a bag, so it's no surprise it has a 99.999% retention capacity, making it the ideal vacuum for allergy sufferers. Vacuuming is supposed to get rid of all the stuff that irks you, not kick it up into your airway.
The Rotho vacuum sprays water and cleaning solution on the area, then simultaneously vacuuming up the used water and solution to free embedded soil, dust mites, allergens, and odors — not the stuff sitting on the surface.
The $795 price tag makes it spendier than the also-awesome Dyson DC 23 Animal canister vacuum, but the Rotho's deep-cleaning features and water filtration make it the ultimate tool for an allergy-free home.
