IT'S that time of the year when New York's baseball teams participate in the first of two three-game sets called the "Subway Series." Introduced in 1997, it has been a huge hit with the fans even if the players' enthusiasm has dwindled.
Here is a look at the Mets and Yankees position-by-position:
Carlos Delgado has adapted to New York well and is the Mets' best hitter. Jason Giambi has cooled lately but was the AL Player of the Month for April.
Delgado is the better defender.
Edge: Mets
Robinson Cano is on his way to being an All-Star thanks to a productive bat and, until Wednesday night, solid defense.
Kaz Matsui has improved with the glove but not at the plate.
Edge: Yankees
In any other city, Jose Reyes would be the best shortstop in town. In New York, he is second to Derek Jeter, who has sizzled since Opening Day.
Edge: Yankees
How far as David Wright come?
Enough that Alex Rodriguez doesn't dwarf him. ARod muddled through the first six weeks, never really getting hot.
Edge: Even
Melky Cabrera against Cliff Floyd should be an overmatch. But Floyd has been awful at the plate.
Cabrera is getting a chance to show he is a major-league player but figures to be replaced via a trade.
Edge: Mets
Any discussion here has to start with Johnny Damon playing the last month with a chipped bone in his right foot. Carlos Beltran is off to a better start in his second Queens season.
Edge: Even
Given a chance to play every day, Xavier Nady has produced. Bernie Williams and Bubba Crosby have replaced Gary Sheffield.
Edge: Mets
Jorge Posada has helped fill the void created by injuries to Sheffield and Hideki Matsui, producing at the plate. Paul Lo Duca is a major upgrade over Mike Piazza.
Edge: Yankees
Who would think a three-man rotation that includes Jeremi Gonzalez would get the nod. But that's how bad Randy Johnson is. The entry of Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine is better than the Yankees' duo of Mike Mussina and Aaron Small, who has to replace Shawn Chacon.
Edge: Mets
Each game likely will be decided here and there is quality in both pens. The Mets' trio of Billy Wagner, Aaron Heilman and Duaner Sanchez provides confidence that wasn't there last year. Kyle Farnsworth, Scott Proctor and Mike Myers have constructed a better bridge from starter to Mariano Rivera.
Edge: Even
With no DH, Joe Torre will be forced to employ pinch-hitters off a bench that is thin. The Mets' Chris Woodward can play anywhere and Endy Chavez is an excellent defensive outfielder and swift pinch-runner. Julio Franco provides an experienced pinch-hitter. Ramon Castro may be the best backup catcher in baseball.
Edge: Mets
Willie Randolph has the Mets in first place, but Joe Torre's experience can't be ignored.
Edge: Yankees
By the numbers
Catcher AB HR RBI AVG
Jorge Posada 113 6 26 .310
Paul LoDuca 121 3 13 .289
First Base
Jason Giambi 108 12 34 .269
Carlos Delgado 153 13 29 .288

Throughout Valley Stream, local civic groups are preparing to commemorate Memorial Day with a variety of ceremonies and events this weekend.
The festivities will begin on Saturday at 11 a.m., when the Central High School Alumni Association is scheduled to gather outside the school to remember former students who lost their lives in war.
Then, on Sunday, the American Legion Post No. 854 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1790 will hold a joint memorial service at 11 a.m. at the American Legion. Later that day, residents can stop by the Pagan Fletcher Restoration on Hendrickson Avenue to see the Historical Society's new exhibit documenting Valley Streamers who were killed in war. Valerie Esposito, a historical society trustee, said that the exhibit will feature a slideshow of all of the names of fallen Valley Streamers who perished in war, and Sculptor John Urgo will create sculptures of the fallen soldiers.
And starting at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, the Valley Stream Fire Department will hold its own memorial service at its Rockaway Parkway headquarter before the village Memorial Day parade begins at 9:30.
At that time, Korean War veteran and former village trustee Jack Sharkey will lead his fellow veterans in the parade as the grand marshal. He said he was "very proud" that his fellow Legionnaires and VFW compatriots chose him to be the grand marshal this year.
The parade will conclude at Veterans' Memorial Plaza, where the village will hold its ceremony with speeches by village officials and veterans.
Mayor Ed Fare said that the annual parade "is a wonderful community event that brings everyone together — not for a barbecue or a sale at the mall — but to recognize and honor all those who give their lives for our country."
Village Deputy Clerk James Hunter, who is also a member of the Sons of the American Legion, added that it is a way "to remember and pay respect to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice."
The American Legion will hold a barbecue following the ceremony at 12 p.m.

Tile it
Опубликовано: 27.05.2017
Whether you use Mapnik or Osmarender to generate the tiles, you will need a web interface to browse them.
We use the OpenLayers javascript for our our main map and also at informationfreeway.org. The OpenLayers 'Getting Started' doc explains how to initialize a 'map' object in javascript. To make this work with our tiling scheme, you need a 'TMS' layer and bit more javascript logic. See our OpenLayers Simple Example. For more slippy map features (supporting layer selector, permalinks, etc) you might like to poke around in the javascript source of informationfreeway.org
Maperitive has a command for generating tiles which can be invoked both through the GUI and through scripting (so it can be automated). The tiling scheme is compatible with OpenLayers.

How To Ruin Your Life • Part 3
No one destroys their relationships, finances, or character in one mighty act. Destruction, while it might feel like itis instantaneous, does not happen overnight. It is a gradual pull, or making destructive decision after destructive decision. But what causes it? As I thought about that this week and as I read the passage in 1 Samuel, I began to realize that the person Saul was not really who he claimed to be. There were different versions of Saul.
1. What did you think of the idea that there are different versions of who you are? What are some of the situations where you present different versions of yourself to people?
2. Compromise is in all of us, but what is it that brings it out of you? What kind of situations do you see yourself in where you are most susceptible to compromise?
3. Read 1 Samuel 15:7-13. Why do you think Saul made the choices he did? Why is it so easy to compromise when we're called to obedience?
4. How do you view obedience to God? Does there need to be a change in your attitude towards Him in obedience?
5. Read 1 Samuel 15:14-23. In these verses Saul was covering up his sin and blaming others. Do you see this tendency of deflection instead of confession in your own life?
6. When it comes to compromising your convictions, why is taking the long view important? How do you check your feelings in the moment so that you don't compromise on what God has called you to do?
7. How can the group pray for you as you look at some of the areas of compromise in your heart and actions, and make choices of conviction instead?
Note to Life Group Leaders: This week's biblical text could be problematic for some people regarding Saul being commanded to destroy the Amalekites. If people in your group have questions this is a good thing. It helps them grow. Please use the resources below to help some people who would like to know more about this text. For example say something like this, "That's a very good question and I really appreciate you wanting to learn more about this. While our discussion during group isn't conducive for this topic let me give you some resources for you to study this week. From there you can let me know if you have any further questions." Please feel free to reach out to your Groups Coordinators with any further questions.

I have just returned from a successful 3-day residential workshop I ran in the Lake District, together with Huw Alban. Although during a workshop most of the time is spent helping our participants, I managed to grab a couple of shots myself. This one was taken at Blea Tarn, pointing the camera away from the Lake and towards the sun.
I am privileged to have been asked to curate ELMBRIDGE: MOVING ART, an arts exhibition, which includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and other art works made by artists, who live or work in the Borough of Elmbridge. The exhibition will show at the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre in Walton-on-Thames before travelling to other locations in the borough. ELMBRIDGE: MOVING ART is being supported by Elmbridge Borough Council and the RC Sherriff Trust.
I spent a few days in Bruges, Belgium and something happened I thought was impossible: I came back with some urban photographs. Bruges is a fascinating city and well worth exploring with the camera.
DRAWN BY LIGHT was a wonderful exhibition at the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre. Huw Alban, David Neve, Jenifer Bunnett, Rachael Talibart and myself showed a great variety of landscape work. Below is a short video of the event.
I have just returned from a trip to the Isle of Skye with photographer friends Beata Moore, Sue Bishop and Linda Wevill. It was a rather wet week, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Highlight was the beach at Talisker Bay with its white and black sand. The outgoing tide created the most beautiful patterns in the sand and we spent hours photographing there. See the gallery for more images.
"Photography and Sculpture" took place during the last weekend in February. I was invited to show my work at the new Gateway of St Andrew's United Reformed Church in Walton-on-Thames. At the same time the Gateway hosted a display of unique sculptures made by members of Zimbabwean art cooperative "Artpeace". You can find a short video about the event by clicking here.
The spring term Photography Club for Beginners is already underway at the Riverhouse Barn in Walton-on-Thames. Between January and March students on the fully booked course learn how to move away from the Auto Mode on their cameras. We talk about aperture and shutter speed, about composition and light, and many other things that will improve the photographs the students take. If you are interested in booking onto the next course, please get in touch with me via the contact page or contact the Riverhouse Barn directly.
Contributors of 'Landscapes by Women' put on a great photographic show at the OXO Gallery in London last week. Hereyou can see a short video I produced, which gives a glimpse of what the exhibition was about.
THE ELMBRIDGE HUNDRED at DITTONS LIBRARY
At the same time as the Mall Galleries show, I was invited to exhibit a selection of photographs from my book "The Elmbridge Hundred - A Visual Journey" in the atrium of the Dittons Library in Thames Ditton for two weeks. Very pleased that several visitors recognised the photographs, of which several sold.
I was fortunate to be able to show work at the Mall Galleries, London as part of the 'Light and Land on the Mall' exhibition in August 2015. Around 70 exhibitors participated, displaying several hundred landscape photographs. I am pleased that my framed print "Seven Sisters" sold twice.
Students of the summer term Photography Club for Beginners at the Riverhouse Barn in Walton-on-Thames had the opportunity to show a selection of photographs they produced during the course at the Robert-Phillips-Gallery in the Barn. A lot of thought went into selecting the images to be shown, which I then prepared for the gallery. This was part of an exhibition organised by the Riverhouse Barn to show the variety of activities on offer at the Barn.
After weeks of being tied to the office chair, preparing lessons for the Beginners Photography Club I am currently teaching at the Riverhouse Barn in Walton-on-Thames, and some commissioned work, I finally managed to get out with the camera again last Friday!
The day started well - some poppies alongside the A303 at Stonehenge were still in a reasonable condition to be photographed. The skies duly obliged and the thick clouds moved on to make way for the blues and whites of a nice summer's day. The trickiest part was getting a shot without cars in it – the A303 around Stonehenge is a very busy road.
Along the way to my final destination I spotted a little lay-by with a 'Public Footpath' sign, inviting a short exploratory ramble. I only had to step through the hedge by the side of the road and there it was – a barley field with a few poppies dotted in its midst!
By lunchtime the blue skies had gone and, for the next 7 hours or so, drizzle and non-descript featureless skies took turns to dampen my spirits. I had followed another footpath and discovered a view, which, so I believed, would make a great photograph, if the light was right. For the next few hours I waited, waited and waited. I Twice I started the journey home, only to turn back after a few miles because the weather looked as if it could still improve. Eventually, an hour before sunset, the clouds parted and the rolling hills before me were bathed in the most beautiful golden light. I can hardly describe the elation I felt, but some words came to my mind shortly afterwards that seemed to describe those few minutes perfectly: "I often think of that rare fulfilling joy when I am in the presence of some wonderful alignment of events, where the light, the colour, the shapes and the balance all interlock so beautifully that I feel truly overwhelmed by the wonder of it." (Charlie Waite)
I have just returned from a week's photography in Wales. Although it rained frequently, photographic opportunities presented themselves each day, ranging from coastal views (including a solar halo) and great panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons to bluebells and waterfalls.
Last week was filled with excitement about the solar eclipse on Friday. I had bought eclipse glasses and made a filter for my camera from cardboard and a polymer sheet. I had never followed the weather forecast so intently as in the build-up to this event, but even on Friday morning I was still unsure where I should be going as the forecasts about the cloud cover varied wildly. In the end, I decided to head north-west, towards the areas with better weather prospects, and ended up on Coombe Hill in Buckinghamshire.
I was not the only one with that idea; around 50 people had congregated around the monument, including some photographers with very long telephoto lenses. The first hour of the eclipse came and went and all we saw was low cloud and mist down in the valley. At around 9.35, the supposed maximum coverage time, expectations turned to disappointment for most and the crowd began to depart. I tried to convince some students, who had set up a camera next to me, that there was still about an hour left of the whole phenomenon - but to no avail. They left a few minutes later. But the sky got brighter and brighter, until, finally, we got the first glimpse!
Not too impressive, I admit, but the breaks in the clouds became more frequent as time went on. And only an elderly lady and I were left on the hilltop to enjoy it! The breaks in the clouds still left the sun lightly covered so we were watching proceedings without eye cover - filter and glasses for my camera and me, ipad and pinhole cardboard for her.
I did make an attempt to use both the glasses and the filter later, when the sun seemed to be rather bright for a while, but I might as well have looked the other way - total blackout for my eyes and almost total blackout for the camera, even at ISO 6400. So off they came and I simply carried on turning the dials for aperture and shutter speed wildly back and forth, depending on cloud thickness. At the end, there were 2 happy people on the hill!
The lesson? Patience, patience and patience again. It's not over until it's over!
I will be visiting WEYBRIDGE BOOKS on Saturday, 18 April 2015, 2-4pm, to sign my book "The Elmbridge Hundred - A Visual Journey". Join us for a glass of wine and a chat! £2 from each sold book will be donated to Princess Alice Hospice, Esher.

If you're interested in effective corporate compliance programs and how they may be evaluated in an investigation, read the recent U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division, Fraud Section document, "Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs."
When conducting an investigation, my clients often ask for a formula for an effective compliance program. My answer has always been "it depends," and it does!
It depends on each individual company's risk profile and what solutions would be most effective in its particular situation. However, that doesn't mean there aren't some common questions that may be asked in determining any corporation's compliance program effectiveness. The DOJ publication includes those common questions and provides some important topics and sample questions the Fraud Section has frequently found relevant in evaluating a corporate compliance program.

Surviving Thanksgiving as a Couple/
Without a doubt, the holidays can bring a crazy amount of stress and Thanksgiving is no different. You might be meeting your significant other's family for the first time, hosting the holiday at your house this year, or it's your first holiday together period. Take a few steps to prevent one another from becoming overwhelmed or frustrated this Thanksgiving.
1. If you're hosting Thanksgiving, make sure to share the work load.
Whether you're hosting your friends or your families or a combination of both, the key to survival is to help each other with all the tasks at hand. That may mean splitting the duties (one of you cleans while the other one cooks), or working together to get everything on the to-do list done. This is a wonderful opportunity to support one another and work toward a common goal together. Plus, entertaining can be fun -- especially if you do it with someone you love, so enjoy the day and don't get too caught up in the idea of being "perfect."
2. If you're traveling, make a joint playlist for the road.
Holiday travel is stressful enough and if there's family on the other end of your trip, you're likely feeling even more pressure than usual. So keep things a little lighter by spending an hour or so before your travel day making a joint playlist you can listen to together en route. Choose songs you both love or have special meaning to you as a couple to help you reconnect during your weekend away (or help you think of each other if you have to spend the holiday apart). And when you hear your playlist song on the radio, it's a sweet reminder of the holiday you spent together.
3. Make time for just the two of you.
If you're hosting friends or family or going away for the whole weekend, it's imperative that you squeeze in some solo time with your partner. If you're lucky enough to share a room, retire to bed a little earlier than normal or stay in bed just a little later to relish a few extra moments of alone time. Try to get out for a walk around the neighborhood, or pull your spouse away from the rest of the family and show them a childhood photo album. The point is to reconnect at some point during each day so you can check in with one another and you won't feel like strangers when the weekend's over and it's just the two of you again.
4. If you're meeting new family, debrief each other on names, relationships, and topics to avoid.
Thanksgiving is a time for a lot of new couples to meet each other's extended families for the first time. If you have a crazy Uncle Phil who's sometimes medicated and sometimes not, warn your girlfriend about him before you throw her into the fray. Likewise, if cousin Sue just got canned or Aunt Irene's cheatin' husband just dumped her or twins Larry and Carrie can't stand each other anymore, let your significant other know about these dynamics so they're not caught off-guard or with the old foot in the mouth.
5. Thank each other.
This is Thanksgiving, after all, so don't forget to show your appreciation for your one and only. Whether you're grateful he's coming home with you to meet your family or you're thankful she's putting up with all the football on TV, tell your significant other often how much you appreciate him or her this Thanksgiving. It's one of those things people really can't hear enough.

David and Madeline wanted to include and honor their family, friends, and community as part of their wedding, and bring a sense of closeness to the ceremony. They decided on a three-part wedding celebration, spread over several months: an intimate City Hall ceremony, a weekend away with close friends, and a traditional Chinese banquet.
They were very clear on part one: Today would be an close-knit ceremony for family—the people who helped shape them individually and would always support their partnership.
After spending a quiet morning together getting ready, and overlooking a foggy cityscape, they met their 13 loved ones in the North Gallery at City Hall to share their personal vows and bless the rings (which they made themselves!).
For dinner, the couple arranged the private tasting kitchen upstairs at flour+water. Food and wine and Wednesday night date nights are significant features of their relationship, and a private pasta-filled Wednesday night with their dearest seemed a fitting kick off to their marriage!

From communist revolutionaries to controversial strippers, queens of pop to cold-blooded killers, Maverick, the first book from novelist Lauren Beukes, profiles SA's most famous (or infamous) women in history. A second edition has been released, co-authored by Nechama Brodie, and includes new chapters on Cissie Gool, Eudy Simelane and, in an edited extract below, former minister of health Manto Tshabalala-Msimang
Maverick: Extraordinary women from South Africa's past by Lauren Beukes and Nechama Brodie
272 pages
In December 2009, in Johannesburg's exclusive Donald Gordon Medical Centre, a woman lay dying. There may well have been the backbeat of life-support machines – she was in the ICU after all – and there was certainly a heavy media presence, enough that security guards were posted at the door to her room. But this was no Brenda Fassie. While the bed's occupant was undoubtedly one of the most notorious women in South Africa, there were no legions of fans praying for her recovery.
In fact, if people were praying at all, it might have been for things to go the other way. Which sounds like a perfectly horrible thing to say, but then again, no one really expects polite condolences for a mass murderer.
Between June 1999 and September 2008, the woman in the hospital bed had been responsible for an estimated 330 000 preventable deaths.
What made the incomprehensible figure worse was that she was no arbitrary murderess, not even a Daisy de Melker. She had been the minister of health.
Under her watch, just as the HIV epidemic was at its peak of expansion in South Africa, the government had pulled back its antiretroviral (ARV) programme, instead advocating a discredited solvent, Virodene, and promoting a supposedly curative diet of beetroot, African potato, olive oil, garlic and lemon. Without effective treatment, hundreds of thousands of South Africans died. Pregnant women were denied access to the drugs that would have prevented transmission of the virus from mother to child, resulting in 35 000 infants being born with HIV.
Faced with international calls for her resignation, the health minister stubbornly refused to back down from her policies, or even to publicly admit that HIV caused Aids. There were rumours of some sort of Faustian pact between the minister and the then state president Thabo Mbeki, both former exiles, both apparently, mysteriously, beholden to a group of lunatic fringe Aids denialists. The government, in turn, responded by blaming pharmaceutical companies for driving their own agenda. Conspiracy theories abounded. People kept on dying.
When, shortly before 3pm on 16 December 2009, 69-year-old Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (also known, rather un-fondly, as 'Dr Beetroot') finally passed away from complications arising from a liver transplant two years earlier, the ruling African National Congress elided the controversy and eulogised her as an undisputed struggle hero. The press was less nostalgic.
Although there were whispers that shortly before her death, Manto had been ready to admit to her mistakes, her progressively poor health prevented her from making any such public statement.
History would remember her as one of the greatest villains of post-apartheid South Africa.
In 1990, Manto returned to South Africa, along with thousands of other exiles. She was elected to Parliament in the country's first democratic elections in 1994, and chaired the National Assembly's health committee, before being appointed as deputy minister of justice in 1996.
Up to that point, there was little to indicate that the deputy minister was anything more than a diligent official, reaping the hard-earned rewards of an extensive education and decades of devoted public and party service. Manto had even been part of the Government of National Unity team that had drafted the country's first, comprehensive and progressive, Aids-response plan, together with Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who would go on to become the first minister of health.
Signs of trouble began to emerge as early as 1997 when Dlamini-Zuma and then deputy president Thabo Mbeki tried to force the Medicines Control Council (MCC) to approve the trial of a new supposed miracle cure for Aids – a freezing solution called Virodene, which was being touted by husband-and-wife team Zigi and Olga Visser.
The MCC rejected the Vissers' claims and refused to allow the trials, which prompted the health minister to remove several senior MCC officials, including the chairperson, and replace them with candidates thought to be more sympathetic to the government. The new council was an equal disappointment, again refusing to endorse Virodene. The drug was eventually tested on soldiers in Tanzania, apparently with financial support from the ANC. Certainly, Manto managed to pay the clinic a visit on one of her trips to the country she described as her 'second home'.
When, in 1999, he took over as president of South Africa – Nelson Mandela having declined to run for a second term – Mbeki's madness was given free rein. He set up a Presidential Aids Advisory Panel, of which at least half were Aids denialists. Under this, and subsequent councils, a national HIV/Aids response strategy was developed that focused on prevention and support – teaching life skills to children, promoting safer sex, providing home-based care for those living with and affected by HIV/Aids – but which, noticeably, declined to make any provision for actual treatment using ARVs. Even as new infections and HIV-related deaths continued to rise, Mbeki remained unwavering, famously telling a gathering of international scientists in Durban that poverty, rather than HIV, caused Aids.
By October 2000, Mbeki's stance had become so controversial that he largely withdrew from making public comments about Aids, instead handing the cudgels of denial over to his trusted comrade in exile, Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, whom he had appointed as health minister shortly after his election in 1999.
While Mbeki and Manto had been getting their quacks in a row, the battle over treatment for HIV had been waging on several other fronts – most notably, a successful legal campaign to produce and procure cheaper generic ARVs in South Africa. But even then, the government refused to make the life-saving drugs available.
In 2001, the Treatment Action Campaign took legal action against the health minister, demanding the provision of ARVs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
When, the following year, the Constitutional Court handed down a judgment instructing the minister to provide Nevirapine to pregnant mothers, Manto complained that she was being forced to 'poison' her people.
It would take another two years before, slowly and grudgingly, the health department began to roll out ARV treatment.
. Beukes' latest novel, Broken Monsters, will be launched in Joburg on November 26 by way of a Broken Monsters Charity Art Show. More than 120 local artists have customised pages from the book for sale at R1 500 each. All proceeds will go to local children's literacy project Book Dash. The event is at 10A Victoria Road, Lorentzville, Joburg, and will start at 6pm

Car & Travel Idioms with Patrick
Posted in English Language by Patrick on 17 Jan 2017
Car & Travel Idioms. In this video, Patrick discusses some of his favorite expressions including "down the road", "hit the road", "pull over", and his favorite, "backseat driver".
TRANSCRIPT: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It's Patrick again. It is lovely to see you. Today, I'd like to talk about some car and travel idioms - some that we put together over the weekend when we were driving back to Chicago from Wisconsin.
The first one I want to talk about is down the road. Imagine that you are driving your car and you see a McDonalds about 200 feet ahead. You can say, I see a McDonalds down the road. Now that makes sense, right? That preposition of direction makes perfect sense. Oh, it's just down the road.
Um, can you tell me how to get to Solex? Yes, it's just down the road about three blocks. But we also use this to indicate time. I might say something like, down the road, I hope to be married but right now, I'm not seeing anybody. Down the road also means in the future. I hope to have a lot of money down the road, but I don't have a lot of money now. Down the road, everything will be fine. Don't worry about what's happening right now. Down the road.
Speaking of the road, when you are ready to travel, you are getting ready to hit the road. To hit the road literally means to get in your car and start driving… to get your backpack or your suitcase and go to the train or the airplane. Even if you're flying, you're hitting the road. To hit the road means to go somewhere but it also means to leave. Imagine you're at a party and you're with your friends and you're getting bored, you might say to your friend, hey, do you want to hit the road? That means do you want to leave the party? Perfectly acceptable, informal phrase to use. Hey you guys, I'm hitting the road. Have a great day.
Now, you're on the road, you're driving, And I want to explain this: I want to explain… you're driving, you're driving, you're driving, and now you want to slow down and stop. So what do you do, you turn your wheel, and you slow down - this action is called pulling over. To pull over. Why is it pull over. It's pull over because think about that feeling of holding the wheel. As you turn the wheel it's like the car is being pulled in this direction. PULL… OVER…. to the side of the road.
We say pull over a lot, we might say also if you are at a drive-through let's say we went to that McDonald's down the road. So you go and you place your order, Hi, can I get a hot apple pie and a large coffee please? And they will say, "[inaudible] please pull forward." What I said was please pull forward. To PULL (that's a "p") FORWARD or PULL UP means to move forward a little bit. That's PULL OVER, PULL FORWARD AND PULL UP. Now, the one time you never want to hear pull over is from the car behind you. If you hear PULL OVER it means there is a police car behind you and then we all start to get nervous.
You're in your car and I want you to remember this for part 2…You're in your car, you're driving - this is the DRIVER'S SEAT. Hi. Over here, I'm sitting next to the driver now, I'm in the PASSENGER SEAT. Now I'm back in the DRIVER'S SEAT.
Now I want you to imagine that in the BACK SEAT is somebody who doesn't really like the way that you are driving. We've all been in that situation. You are driving up here and in the back seat, someone is saying, slow down! Oh, please, slow down. Turn right. Turn right here. Why didn't you turn right? Do you even know where you're going? And you're up here, going, what's going on?
This person in the back seat is also called, a backseat driver and we hate them. We hate backseat drivers! A backseat driver thinks they know how to drive your car better than you do! And we use this phrase anytime someone is trying to tell us how to do something we already know how to do. Example: have you ever been on a website and you're trying to… maybe you're buying tickets for a concert and so you're like clicking on a screen and you're clicking here and there's someone standing next to you going don't click there click that! That's a backseat driver. They want to be in control.
I love using backseat driver and I love you and I love Solex. Listen, if you like this video, click LIKE which is down here. if you're in Chicago, please come see us. We have a lot of fun things going on this fall. We're going to the Museum of Science and Industry this week. We'd love to show you around. My name is Patrick. Thank you so much for your time. Have a wonderful day.

Billy Graham
In life, presidents embraced Billy Graham. In death, he has same pull for politicians.
During Billy Graham's long life, U.S. presidents publicly embraced him, seeking his spiritual and political advice and hoping his popularity would rub off on them.
And in death this week, Graham still had that pull for not only presidents but for politicians of both parties.
President Donald Trump was in the front row at Graham's funeral Friday. So was Vice President Mike Pence, who has his eye on a run for the White House later or sooner. Both men look to the evangelical Christian community, for whom the Graham family is still like royalty, as the most loyal pillar in their political base.
Earlier in the week, former presidents George W. Bush, a Republican, and Bill Clinton, a Democrat, also came to Charlotte to pay their last respects to Graham during visits that were widely covered in the media. Both involved him in their presidencies – Graham spoke at Clinton's two inaugurations and he helped Bush unify the country by preaching, days after the 9-11 attacks, at a prayer service in Washington's National Cathedral.
Bush's father, former president George H.W. Bush, also valued the Graham seal of approval so much that he invited the evangelist to spend the night at the White House on the eve of Bush's launch of Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.
As Graham aged and began fading from the public scene in recent years, his son Franklin has formed his own political alliances, almost all of them conservative and Republican.
The younger Graham, who inherited the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is an enthusiastic supporter of Trump and Pence – he lauds them often in his daily Facebook posts.
And while N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, was given a front row seat at Friday's funeral, many of the other invitees were prominent Republican politicians from Franklin Graham's generation.
Some of these GOP guests have run for national office and may again, including Ben Carson, Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani.
The Grahams also invited both leading Republicans in the 2018 battle for North Carolina's 9th congressional seat: U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger, who worked for Campus Crusade for Christ right out of college, and his challenger, the Rev. Mark Harris, former pastor of Charlotte's First Baptist Church.
Also spotted at the funeral Friday were other evangelical Christian leaders who, like Franklin Graham, have been politically aggressive in promoting conservative issues.
These included Ralph Reed, who once made the Christian Coalition a major force in the Republican Party, and Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University in Virginia and an early Trump backer.
Falwell's father, Jerry Falwell Sr., headed Moral Majority and led many evangelical Christian voters into the GOP tent to help elect Ronald Reagan president in 1980.
By then, Billy Graham – a registered Democrat who tended to vote for Republicans for president – had been burned by his too-close relationship with President Richard Nixon, a Republican who resigned amid the Watergate scandal in 1974.
So, unlike his son now, the elder Graham kept his distance from the Religious Right.
Still, Billy Graham continued as more of pastor, offering spiritual counsel to Reagan, as he would be to both Bushes and Clinton.
In earlier decades, he had worn religious and political hats when he prayed with Republican Dwight Eisenhower, but also urged him to send federal troops to Little Rock, Ark., to help enforce the court-ordered integration of the high school. He was pastor to Democrat Lyndon Johnson, but also supported LBJ's escalation of the Vietnam War. And he stood by Nixon late into the Watergate scandal, insisting that the president was a righteous man of God.
As anti-Vietnam War demonstrations mushroomed around the country in 1970, Nixon even attended Graham's crusade in Knoxville, Tenn., partly, Nixon aide Charles Colson later said, "to get some of Graham's charisma to rub off on us."
Billy Graham was too old, deaf and blind by the time Trump was elected in 2016. But Franklin Graham, perhaps seeing a future president in Trump, invited the then-TV reality show star to his father's 95th birthday party in 2013 at Asheville's Grove Park Inn.
Trump was back in North Carolina on Friday as yet another U.S. president embraced the popular Billy Graham.

(1 Chronicles 7-8 ESV)
Hebrews 11
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff. By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated—of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
(Hebrews 11 ESV)
Something to Consider
Hebrews 11: Faith rejoices and rests in God's promises that have yet to be fully revealed or received. Faith leads us to live life with a confident expectation that God will deliver in due time what He has promised to deliver. Faith believes God.
The Old Testament men of great faith lived their lives loving and rejoicing in God's promises although they were dimly understood from a distance and therefore remained a mystery to them. In Christ, this mystery has been fully revealed, and God's promises brought to light. As these great men of faith before Christ believed God with such a confident expectation, how much more should those of us after Christ believe God with even greater confidence in what He has promised?

At home cooks around the globe thrive in a well-equipped kitchen. Having a smartly designed, high functioning kitchen helps you to open the door to new culinary possibilities; having the idea is one thing, the methods to bring the idea into fruition is best. Here are a few kitchen design ideas centered on a cook-friendly environment. For smaller kitchens, there are often little steps you can take to boost your kitchen design ideas to be more chef-accessible.
Creating work stations in your kitchen, keeping in mind your daily cooking food tasks, you can make sure your tools are attainable. A mini kitchen remodel like this allows you to keep centered on the cooking at hands effortlessly of efficiency.
Bigger kitchen remodel projects often involve several appliance improvements that can help your kitchen much more conducive to preparing food lavish meals. Installing two ovens in your kitchen can save time by being able to together cook two dishes that necessitate different temperatures. Piled or side by part are both options for how to incorporate them into the kitchen design ideas. Convenience is key for a cook's kitchen. Setting up a filler faucet straight above the stove is great way to add efficiency to the grilling process.
This is not necessarily a fairly easy kitchen renovate project in conditions of plumbing, but it will eventually make sure that you never have to hold a pan packed with water across the kitchen. Warming drawers can be a great touch in your cook's kitchen, but will likely need to be installed by a hired contractor. These types of drawers are great for keeping cooked and make dishes warm until service time. They normally are disguised as storage space and do not take up much room.

A Hemphill County grand jury has indicted a Sanger man on a murder charge stemming from an Oct. 29 incident north of Canadian where Hemphill County authorities said the man drove his pickup into another car, killing a Canadian woman.
Travis Wayne Hardin, 31, was arrested after he drove his older-model Dodge pickup into a 2006 Toyota Corolla, killing driver Cynthia Hanshaw, age unknown, after she followed Hardin in her car to get his license plate number, Hemphill County Sheriff Morse E. Burroughs said.
The grand jury indicted Hardin on Thursday.
Hanshaw followed Hardin after authorities said he nearly hit Hanshaw's car head-on on the Canadian River Bridge, Burroughs said.
After Hardin nearly hit Hanshaw's car, Hanshaw turned her car around to follow Hardin's pickup on U.S. Highway 60 north of Canadian, Burroughs said. Hardin then turned his pickup around and drove toward Hanshaw, hitting her car's driver's side door, Burroughs said.
When Hemphill County and Department of Public Safety authorities arrived, Hardin was partially nude and charged toward the officers "in an aggressive manner," Burroughs said. Officers were able to overtake him, he said.
Hanshaw was pronounced dead at the scene, Burroughs said. Hardin and Sheri Talley, age unknown, of Canadian, a passenger in Hanshaw's car, were transported to the Hemphill County Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries, Burroughs said.
Hardin remained in jail Monday. His bond was set at $500,000.

LONDON (CBS MW) -- In a move which could trigger a fresh backlash from Japan's International Digital Communications Inc., Cable & Wireless PLC has raised its takeover bid for Japan's International Digital Communications Inc.
C&W CWP, +2.51% said Thursday that it will pay a total of 88 billion yen, or $733 million for IDC -- a company in which it already holds a 17.7 percent stake. The cable giant would pay $458 million in cash and another 275 million pounds in debt. The cash offer represents a 7.3 percent premium to C&W's original offer.
The move will pit C&W against Japan's state-owned NTT, the telecom giant which has tried to force C&W out of its market all together. Last month, Britain's prime minister Tony Blair intervened on C&W's behalf, complaining to the government about NTT's interference.
In its statement following a press briefing in Tokyo earlier, C&W made no mention of NTT or any further talks it's had with the Japanese government. But it's far from clear if IDC will accept C&W's offer, as last month it recommended that shareholders accept a rival offer from NTT.
On Thursday, Reuters news service reported from Tokyo that IDC has said "the new offer will be be considered at the next board meeting" on May 20. IDC is a private company which began operating in 1987 with C&W as one of its founding shareholders.
C&W's executive director of global business, Stephen Pettit, said in the statement: "Japan is an important market for C&W and leadership of IDC will be a very effective way for us to increase our presence in the corporate, international and data markets there."
Japan, which has a population of 125 million, is the second largest telecommunications market in the world. Some 15 percent of the world's 2,000 global companies are based in the country.

Ecclesiastes teaches us that for everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. The purpose that we have pursued for so many years has seen its time and the season for its ending has come. The sand sculptures were a message of grace that we hoped would touch those in need of the light of Christ. Each sculpture was a group effort and we want to thank all those who worked at our side and all those who came to find whatever might have been there for them. Now that season has ended and we will set this work aside for other purposes. Let us all find other ways to praise Him who brought us forgiveness. Let us cleave to his message of love, forgiveness, tolerance, and hope – and find our way to the light.
Should you have any donations, please return them with our thanks. Please cancel any arrangements you have already made for the Easter Sand Sculpture. Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. Thank you for all the love and support you have given for the Lord.
May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.
Your brother and sister in Christ,
Roger & Sharon Powell

Two years after landing in the local market, Dondonya, the Hong Kong-based Japanese restaurant under the MaximŌĆÖs family, has picked advertising agency Asatsu-DK for its first branding campaign launch.
The campaign, which will run until the end of December, aims to introduce and market the profound meaning of its new category ŌĆō Donburi (Japanese bowl rice) ŌĆō to Hong Kong people, under the direction of becoming a Donburi expert.
An open truck with a gigantic Katsudon mock-up, together with a 500 Ib bowl and six-feet high hardwood chopsticks has been touring in some strategic locations until this weekend.
ŌĆ£Local people are growing into Donburi, but they know only a little about the culture behind it. This brand campaign is to bring out the uniqueness of the Japanese Donburi culture and to filter it down to the mass in a creative way,ŌĆØ said Yusuf Ismail, director of client services at Asatsu-DK Hong Kong.
A mix of mass and strategic location approaches has also been deployed on communications channels spanning print and MTR stations.
Karen Woo, head of marketing, Japanese Chain Restaurants, at Maxim's Caterers Ltd, added: ŌĆ£Through the campaign, we will try to educate Hong Kong locals with a deeper meaning of Donburi cuisine, for instance, having ŌĆśKatsudonŌĆÖ (first picture) before an exam or important mission will give you luck, while taking ŌĆśOyakodonŌĆÖ (second picture) will reinforce the parents and kids relationship.ŌĆØ

The Mexican economy may not be setting the world on fire, but led by LCCs like Volaris, Mexican aviation is enjoying healthy growth. That has spawned at least some successful support businesses that, like Volaris has, seek growth opportunities outside Mexico.
While the country still lacks home-grown heavy maintenance capacity to support all the growth, line-maintenance leader Aviation Integrated Services Group is growing along with the market. AISG now supports 65 airlines at 26 airports in Mexico, up from 64 airlines at 22 airports 18 months ago, notes President & CEO Bógart A. Balmori.
AISG techs support all Airbus models up to the A340-600 and will add the A350 in 2017. The company supports all Boeing aircraft, including the 787, and Embraer E145s, E175s and E190s. In 2016 AISG provided the line maintenance for 108,000 aircraft operations.
The Mexican market may not be enough. Balmori says AISG will start operations at four locations in the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, Puerto Plana, Punta Cana and La Romana, in 2017. Further, "during the next five years we are planning to start operations in Europe and Asia through an acquisition and merger."
AISG also trains techs, both for its own activities and for other MRO firms. At present, about 120 technicians are getting 2,250 hours of lessons in 130 courses. Many of these students will serve wider markets, as AISG itself employs only 165 full-time workers and no part timers.
Balmori has built success on providing the line maintenance that is nearly a third of MRO spending. He has no intention of getting into heavy maintenance, despite the gaps here. Mexican capacity for heavy maintenance remains, "very limited in terms of slot capacity, worldwide certifications, man-power and quality," he says.
