At this time of year, when Kentuckians are obsessed with rankings, consider these from the National Cancer Institute:
■ We're No. 1 in overall cancer death rate.
■ We're No. 1 in lung cancer death rate.
■ We're No. 2 in the incidence of colon cancer, with a rate that is 20 percent higher than the national average.

Nothing to cheer about.
A group of Kentuckians are making a stab at lowering those rankings through the recently announced Kentucky Cancer Foundation. The foundation's goal is to fight cancer by increasing screening and prevention efforts paid for with a combination of public and private funds, starting with colon cancer.
In 2008, the General Assembly created the Colon Cancer Screening Program but has never funded it.
This year, Gov. Steve Beshear, himself a cancer survivor, has taken a positive first step by including $1 million in his budget for colon cancer screenings.
The foundation has pledged to match that with private funds. The $2 million would pay for about 4,000 screenings for people with no or inadequate health insurance.
The group has chosen to focus on colon cancer initially because the screening can yield such high dividends. Cancers in general are more easily, effectively and inexpensively treated when discovered early but colon cancer can actually be prevented when doctors remove non-cancerous polyps discovered through screening.
The benefits are obvious to the individuals and families affected. Screenings can prevent the emotional pain of fighting cancer as well as the economic and other challenges that they and the larger community suffer.
For Kentucky, the need to lower cancer rates and deaths is painfully obvious. We lose too many productive citizens to cancer and, of course, these rankings are not the type that attract business and talent.
This $2 million will not solve the problem. But it is a start, a way to leverage private money to take on this huge challenge.
The foundation's founders are hopeful that if Kentucky can demonstrate some progress they'll be able to attract interest from national foundations to assist in the effort.
Beshear's appropriation, included in the huge bill that contains the entire state budget, has passed the House of Representatives.
The Senate should look on it favorably as well. Even in these tough times, it's a worthwhile investment that could repay our citizens many times over.


text: Child Custody and Visitation A battle of child custody and visitation is usually the most emotional aspect of a family law case when children are involved. When children are involved in a divorce or between two parents that are unmarried, it is important that you obtain an outcome that serves the best interest of your children. In fact, that is the legal standard in California. Ms. Davaloo makes every effort to obtain the most favorable parenting plan for her clients that are in the best interest of their children. If you need a child custody and visitation order for the first time, or if you already have a custody order but the circumstances have greatly changed and a modification is needed, or if the other parent is violating the existing court order, Ms. Davaloo can help you obtain the proper resolution. In cases involving minor children, it is necessary to obtain child custody and visitation orders from the court to establish structure and stability for you and your children, not to mention peace of mind. There are 2 types of child custody: Legal Custody and Physical Custody. Legal Custody Legal custody deals with major life decisions about a child's health, education, and welfare. It refers to your right as a parent, and not how much time you get to spend with your child. Usually, both parents are awarded joint legal custody of their child. Some factors family courts consider in awarding joint or sole legal custody are: 1. The right to your child's medical and school records; 2. The right to be informed and participate in your child's school and extracurricular activities; and 3. The right to be informed prior to the other party attempting to move the residence of your minor child. Physical Custody Physical custody deals with day-to-day care and control of a child, generally with whom the child lives. In making physical custody orders, the court looks at the "best interest" of the child. Usually it is best for both parents to come up with an agreement for custody and visitations called a parenting plan. But in situations where the parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, my law office will take the appropriate steps to prepare all witnesses and evidence necessary to address potential custody issues and to obtain an order that is in the best interest of the child. Child Custody and Visitation Orders After the court makes an Order on child custody and visitation issues, the court retains "jurisdiction" that enables either party to return to court at a later time and modify the initial Order. Of course, there are various factors the court would take into account before it may modify the initial Judgement.

The weather gets colder; the boar and mole alliance; we get stuck into the old ruin and reflect on the French "politesse"
Posted by Graham Parish on Sunday, November 22, 2015
The weather has got decidedly colder in the past couple of days after a week of mild yet very rainy days. It has been pretty miserable all week and most days we have had heavy rain. So Mrs. Parish and I have not ventured out much. We have used the time to decorate the spare bedroom. This also doubles as Mrs. Parish's sewing room and has been a bit of a mess for some time. We have completely repainted and put up new wallpaper and it now looks really smart. We have reorganised the layout to maximise the room for sewing and other craft activities.
Mrs. Parish's sewing room now redecorated
Mrs. Parish's sewing room now redecorated
After a wet week the weather has turned cold as we get winds from the north. Yesterday it was cold and windy but today has been cold but sunny with no wind. A perfect autumn day and Mrs. Parish and I went for a lovely walk around the lanes near us. We met our neighbour Daniel and dog Pepito going up the lane and so we did the walk together and had a nice chat and all the gossip about neighbouring hamlets. We went past Madame Letissier's who is 91 and saw where Giselle was born. It is now early afternoon and we have lit the wood burner and I am sat by the fire writing the blog while Mrs. Parish has disappeared to try out the new sewing room.
The cats have welcomed a bit of sun after being cooped up in the cat palace all week. This morning all three were laid out on the top of the car sunning themselves and of course making my car dirty. They are now sat at the window trying to plead cold weather and therefore some in time or an early tea.
The bad weather does not seem to have deterred the boars who are creating havoc and mayhem in our hay field. We went on patrol yesterday afternoon and the number of craters has increased considerably along with plenty of turfs that have been dug up and thrown to one side. There is no sign of this just being a raiding party ready to move on and we now seem to face a major boar invasion. The ants in our forward lookout post seem to have deserted and the ant nest appears to be closed for the winter. Not a sign of a single ant on duty yesterday.
I have tried my usual method by walking along the bottom of the field singing Bob Dylan songs but they seem immune to this sort of defensive manoeuvre. We may have to resort to calling up reinforcements to launch a counter offensive. This may mean having a chat with the local Mayor and maybe using the local hunt to try to encourage the boars to move on (or sadly to face more serious consequences!!).
I reported last week that undercover of the boar incursions the moles that are clearly in an evil alliance have been making flanking moves up into the lane next to the house. This we have now discovered was merely a diversion and we have found molehills within the La Godefrere exclusion zone. Mrs. Parish's search and destroy team have been put on alert and soon the moles will get a taste of cold steel or at least a mole trap! It is very tiring all this battling with nature. We are just waiting for some nicer weather and we have to get back to clearing brambles and weeds on the trail which will be dedicated to developing local nature. You would think that as we are trying to help build a nature trail, that nature would at least cooperate!
On Wednesday we had a gap when it stopped raining so we turned our attention to the old ruin that we bought in the summer. It abuts our courtyard and we have long term plans to develop a walled garden/barbecue area. Our friend Ian has a small digger and has been promising to come round and remove some of the stone that has fallen down. So on Wednesday Ian arrived with digger and Emile came also with his tractor and trailer to carry away the stone. Ian needs the stone to reinforce the banks of a small lake in his garden. So we spent a day moving stone.
Ian and his little digger tackle the ruin
Ian and his little digger tackle the ruin
At least the digger did most of the work and we managed to clear most of the stone that has fallen out into the lane. Giselle came out to see what we were up to and told us that the buildings had been unoccupied and falling down for over 70 years. There are two buildings that join on to our barn (the same one that is now the cat's palace). They were a house and a storage building. Both are very small but the house was occupied by a family with four children! It seems hard to believe now. Still we made some progress and there is much more to do and the next stage will be to get the rest of the roof removed so that we can safely move some more of the stone.

Since we have been living in France we have been struck not only by the kindness and friendship we have been offered by the French but especially by how polite and well mannered the French are. Whenever the French go into a shop and there are other customers there, they always say hello to everyone. It is a "bonjour monsieur/dame". Good day sir and madam. And everyone says hello back. When leaving there is always a "bonne journee". Have a good day. Whenever we meet people we know or are introduced there is always a handshake or if we know them a kiss. This even applies when we meet our neighbours in the lane. Even if we have seen them the day before you still shake hands or kiss on both cheeks.
If you meet someone new they almost invariably invite you for a coffee next time you are passing. And they really mean it and get cross if you don't call round. In England I think if people invite you for coffee you think they don't really mean it at all and are hoping desperately that you will never take up the offer.
We quite often get asked into Giselle and Daniel's house for coffee and sometimes this is when we have been helping them in the garden or such like. Last week, for example, we helped Giselle's son Jean-Pierre to collect some of our apples for him to make into cider. After we had loaded up his van, Giselle insisted we join them for coffee. We got to their door and realised we still had our muddy wellington boots on. So we started to take them off. Giselle immediately said we would do no such thing and that we were to come in as we were. She was very insistent and it was almost as is if she were saying that she would disgrace the name of French hospitality and would die of shame if she allowed us to take off our boots. It is the same when we go round to Emile and Yvette's.
And you can't just have a coffee; you have to have some cake or biscuits with your coffee. They then insist that you have another and it is almost impossible to say no as they look so disappointed if you try to decline the offer. Then of course out comes the calva, although I have noticed that it is permissible to say no to a tot of calva in your coffee.
This friendship and kindness is a very valuable strength and has many benefits. Our friends John and Sandra have become friends with the French farmer who farms next to them. They were invited round for coffee and happened to mention in conversation that they were engaged in a long and arduous task up clearing away brambles etc from the edge of their front garden. This bordered onto the farmers land and he immediately said he would bring his tractor round and dig up the brambles and pout in some fence posts for them. He was insulted when they offered to pay him. He did it as a good neighbour!
I have just noticed that it is starting to get a bit darker and that the afternoon has disappeared. So it would seem is all the bird seed as the birds have cleared both feeders which I only filled this morning. Not only does nature conspire against me it also costs me a fortune! I need to order some more seeds and peanuts from the League Protection des oiseaux. There is only one solution to such problems and that is to go for an aperitif, which I think I need. Mrs. Parish has yet to emerge from the sewing room so perhaps I can tempt her out with a Kir and the promise of my speciality fish pie as I am duty chef today.
Bon dimanche

These easy and delicious Grilled Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Kebabs have only 3 ingredients and are ready in less than 30 minutes for a quick, flavorful meal that is perfect for any night of the week!
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork. The opinions and text are all mine. Thanks for supporting the brands that make Lively Table possible!
You know those days where everything has been hectic and you have no idea what to cook? Where you have no energy to think about planning a meal, much less cook one?
Yep. I've had a lot of those days lately. Despite meticulously planning out dinner for the week each and every Sunday, sometimes those plans get cancelled in lieu of a bowl of cereal or a restaurant dinner with Mr. Table because we are just too wiped out to cook and then clean up.
I'm so excited to bring you this super easy dinner for nights like those. It comes together in less than 30 minutes, uses only 3 simple ingredients, and cleanup is virtually nonexistent. I call that a dinner win, my friends.
Ok, you could argue that a bowl of cereal meets all of those criteria, too. But this meal is also hot, delicious and full of fruit, vegetables and high quality lean protein. It's fancy enough to serve to a crowd at a moment's notice, or to feed to your family on a busy Tuesday night. All thanks to one key ingredient – Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork.
I picked up this Smithfield Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin at United along with a fresh pineapple and red onion, and dinner was halfway done! Thanks to a yummy and flavorful fresh pork tenderloin that is slow-marinated with no artificial ingredients, these grilled pineapple teriyaki pork kebabs are incredibly easy to make and taste amazing. That's real flavor, real fast!
It really does not get any simpler. No mixing or marinating. No seasoning or stirring. Simply slice up a pineapple, an onion, and a Smithfield Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin and thread onto wooden skewers while you wait for your grill to heat up, then grill them and serve! You've got a fresh and delicious dinner that will please your whole family! This recipe made Mr. Table happy too, because he had no clean-up afterward! (He cleans the kitchen on nights that I cook, which is most nights. Did I mention he's the best?)
I served these yummy Grilled Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Kebabs with my grilled sweet potato wedges for a meal that was made entirely on the grill – win! You could also serve them with a green salad, steamed brown rice, quinoa, or fingerling potatoes if you prefer, though I'm partial to the grilled sweet potatoes.
Now you really have no excuse not to whip up a quick and delicious dinner. 3 ingredients, 30 minutes, and no cleanup? Yes, please!

Port utilization has reached 100% and User Device Tracker is showing fewer ports than are available on the switch.
This is caused by 1 of 2 reasons: not all ports being added to UDT for monitoring during the discovery process or the missing port type is missing from UDT's monitored port listing.
By default, when doing a discovery only "operationally up" ports are selected to UDT for monitring. This is configurable when performing the discovery. If the port type is also not selected as a monitored port type, then it will never show up in the listing of ports as well.
For example:
A switch may have 48 ports, if there are 10 ports "operationally up", only these 10 ports will be selected by default.
A switch may have 48 ports, 30 of which are ethernet-csmacd (type 6) ports, 18 are ethernet-3Mbit (type 26) ports

We missed our families, but we are looking forward to visiting the Schuhs here in the coming Chinese New Year holiday.

Mums getting all excited , its my birthday in 2 weeks so a few weeks ago she sent some photos of me off into the NETS.A profile shot and a side view. I'd just scoffed Mums almond croissant and half a Viennese cheesy topped loaf an hour before Aunty Laurel helped her wrangle this photo so she was a bit cross with me and told me that I was looking like a box. How rude!!
I'm a bit concerned when Mum gets excited near my birthday. Last time I asked for a big present and asked for noms she got me a HAMSTER. I asked for a HAMPER for dogs sake. If I ignore it will it go away?
Really, what were you thinking. Who's birthday is this anyway??
So on Saturday I went out to my friend Sophie the Blue Heelers house.
Went for a walk and a photo shoot with Sophies Mum Tatiana
Ah, that wasn't me that was my mini me and Sophies mini me.
Mini Sophie and Mini Bodie hereby named Spud
It seems that Spud is already an agility champion. Something I never mastered.
He came home with us in his special crateToday he spent some time snootering round the estate. He even has my trademark right ear with its special little pleat in it.
He's pretty laid back like me too. Think we're gonna get along fine
He says he likes it here, we need to get his vet checks and his registration all done.
But he said he can't breathe in the box till my birthday so can he stay out now.
Dinner time with the big boys
He's now stationed on sentry duty looking after the Goose and Stamford
Welcome to the family Spud and big thanks to Tatiana Kalnins. Spud is gawjus!!

Throughout The Car Industry
Down To The Wire: Chevy Volt Edges Out Nissan Leaf For Second Straight Month
The Nissan Leaf may have dominated during the meat of the year, but the Chevy Volt is picking up its sales pace when it matters most. The Volt outsold the Leaf in November, leading to its second straight monthly lead. However, it will likely be too little too late for the Volt, as the Leaf leads by nearly 2,000 sales on the year.
Chevy sold 1,139 units in November, a slight increase from the 1,108 that it sold in October. Nissan, on the other hand, sold only 672 Leafs in November, a slide from the 849 that it sold last month.
Over the past three months, the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt have flip-flopped in sales. In August, the Leaf easily beat the Volt with 1,362 sales to 302. In September, Chevy rebounded from distribution issues experienced over the summer by more than doubling its sales to 723. Meanwhile, the Leaf slid to 1,031. During October, the Chevy surpassed the Nissan for the first time since early 2011, selling 1,108 Volts to 849 Leafs.
As we see from November's numbers, the Leaf is continuing to slide while the Volt is gaining strength.
Both Chevy and Nissan have been quick to minimize any perceived sales race, but the Volt and Leaf's roles as the first mass-market electric-driven vehicles and their launch dates within days of each other make it difficult to ignore. The cars each offer unique solutions to green, electric-powered driving, so it's also interesting to see whether the more expensive, more practical series hybrid or the less expensive, greener-driving electric vehicle is winning the hearts, minds and wallets of consumers.
Though Chevy has had a strong late-year showing, Nissan still leads Chevy by more than 2,500 sales going into the last month of the year. A total of 8,720 Leafs have left dealer lots compared to 6,142 Volts. For Chevy to beat Nissan, it would need to more than double--probably about triple--its strong November sales. That seems quite unlikely at this point.
Also unlikely is either automaker reaching its respective 10,000 sales goal. With Nissan sales on the slide, we'd expect to see total 2011 Leaf sales in the low to mid 9,000s. Chevy's recent surge still leaves it nearly 4,000 units shy of the 10,000 mark, so it's unlikely to get all that close, even with another good month.

But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards according to what their actions deserve.(Jeremiah 17:10)
The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? The Lord does. He knows your motives, even when you try to behave as if your heart is pure and sincere. He will expose your motives, if you go too long unchecked, by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is not wise to play around with the one that knows all and sees all. You may think you got away with what you said to the cashier, to your boss, to your spouse, your child, family member or co-walker, but you haven't. Just because months have gone by, God will reward according to what your action deserve.
Begin today to clean up and live holy lives, just as God is holy! Don't allow the enemy to make promises to you that feel good or look good. Be strong and courageous! Learn how to fight in the spiritual realm in prayer. Allow God to do a heart check on you as you lay it all on the alter! Forgiveness is a powerful break through!

K - this is going to seem redundant...but I hear ya. And you're right as usual. I just need to figure out how to do it and find the courage you had to step forward. I may be scared as to what I discover.
I know I'm at the end of Mondo Beyondo, (though some would say this goes on forever) but I feel like i'm shifting through the lessons these days. The Lull lesson is still going on, but I also wonder if I shouldn't sit down and go back to week one where I wrote out my MB list. I'm not sure I was completely honest with myself during that one and I know I was distracted since we were blowing out sprinklers that night.
I just wonder if I'm being true to what my dreams and passion are. Not that I really know what these are but I'm not sure that they were even on the MB list to begin with.
MS and I had watched Dr. Oz together the other day with the show about sex and relationships. One of the first steps was to talk to each other for 10 minutes each day. So that night, though exhausted we were having trimmed trees all day, I asked him what he wished for (more as a joke initially because we have a very good relationship). He gave me his list, confident as he usually is. Then he asked me. Suddenly, for whatever reason, I was shy, teared up, and didn't know what to say. So as I am prone to do, I hemmed and hawed and then came up with my basics, one of which was to figure out my work. MS immediately said, "What do you want?"
That's the underlying and huge monkey on my shoulders - I don't know what I want. A friend of mine makes his decisions by stating what he doesn't want and then narrows it down, but that seems long and tedious when trying to plan my career. I just don't know where I fit, how I fit in anything. Sometimes I feel so stretched thin - a little bit of knowledge in a LOT of areas, versus a lot of knowledge in less areas that mesh together. It's a great trait, the former, when you're going to a small school and you have to participate or programs will die, but it doesn't help much on the outside when trying to focus on a career path. No wonder ADHD is prominent (not in me, but in the world in general).
So where do I start? I can't quit my job. I need the stability and it's not that I don't enjoy it, though pushing paper after awhile does tend to weigh on a person. I somehow need to figure out what I want to do within this company so I can keep my good retirement benefits and great hours and still be fulfilled. There's a possibility I can do this, but a few other stars need to align.
Which makes me wonder if I just need to be more patient and breathe a little deeper knowing that someday these stars will align and the opportunity will present itself and hopefully by that point I will be in the perfect place to step up and say, "I'm THE person for the job." Am I just stressing myself out because it's not happening RIGHT NOW during this Mondo Beyondo time like it seems to be for so many others? Am I just putting a bigger burden on myself? Maybe I did list my dream (not just one I listed because others have told me I should do it). Maybe I just need to realize that it's coming...just not at this moment.

Vic is one of those guys who insisted
on getting the car washed before we shot it. We actually drove
around looking for a place to wash it and finally the guys at
Ferroli Motorsport were helpful enough. Thanks!
I offered to help but he was adamant I
just stay put.
Once washed it was time for me to take
it for a test drive and inspect... Here's my story...
a car is a reflection of its owner's personality, then
this BMW E30 coupe is an absolute certainty. Vic Pardal is well
known for his MC skills at multiple motoring events across the
country and better known for being a presenter on the popular
television show Mzanzi Ridez. A lover of all things motorsports
his flamboyant personality is best shown in his drift machine
doing one of motorsports most flamboyant disciplines, drifting.
The weapon of choice is the legendary E30 box shape BMW in 2
door format. Not your conventional "easy" Japanese
choice, but in selecting the BMW box, Vic actually thought out
of the "box". What I mean by that is instead of
going the M3 turbo or 1J turbo motor route; he opted for something
much bigger. He went V8 bigger!
Speaking to Vic he admittedly says it was a mission to get a
740i V8 in the E30 engine bay, but anything is possible if you
put your mind to it and with the help of BMW legend, Achmat
Achmat this feat was ultimately accomplished.
The 4.0 litre V8 lump in front is connected to a M5 dogleg gearbox
via a Spec 4 pad solid copper clutch and suits the purpose of
application very well. It takes a bit to get used to when I
drove it but I eventually ended up loving the unspoiled shift
from 2nd into 3rd gear. But the thing that I love the most about
this car is the torque. It has huge amounts at low rev which
is normal from a V8 but very bizarre when you're sitting
in an E30. Driving it around Killarney I couldn't help
but give it the occasional throttle blip, just to hear that
massive V8 bark at you via its 63mm side exit exhaust.
The interior is all business and has been stripped out and replaced
with just the basics being a full roll cage, 2 Razor bucket
seats with Autostyle harnesses, to keep Vic from falling out
while going sideways, mandatory gauges, drift monkey e-brake
and a very nice Sparco steering wheel.
Various modifications have been done to the chassis and suspension
to accommodate the large V8. Antoine Auto Sport modified the
steering rack for both space and good drift angle. The power
is sent to the 325is diff which was naturally tweaked by Mr
Achmat and gets smoked out via brightly coloured 17 "
E36 rims (redone by magnificent wheels) fitted with Kenda rubber(225/45/17).
The car features a full Z3 suspension all round and E36 M3 calipers
at the front and twin set E36 328i calipers at the rear. Firming
up that Z3 suspension was left to Wildcat in the form of their
X bow rear strut brace, front top and bottom mounted braces
as well as a diff brace.
It's difficult to figure out if one see's or hears
this car first. Its vibrant colour scheme is loved by most,
myself included, but none more so than the little ones reminding
them of the Smarties box in their sticky pockets. Kids adore
this car, it's small, bright, loud and it goes sideways!
But the older generation will know that the paint/decal scheme,
which was done by Signamillion was inspired by the BMW M3 GT2
art car by Jeff Koons, which was unveiled at Le Man a while
We hope to see and hear from Vic in the Cape soon, and we would
like to wish him the best of luck in his future drift career.
We know that his Smartie box is more than capable of playing
with the big dogs, it's colourful yet very humble and
it has a big V8 heart, just like its owner.

If you are at TLA, stop by the Horn Book booth and
promise us your unborn children give us your email address to enter a pretty fabulous raffle we have going for attendees. The winner will get airfare, two nights hotel, and free admission to the Boston Globe Horn Book Awards ceremony and Horn Book at Simmons Colloquium the weekend of October 6th, 2017. And if you aren't at TLA, do still check out our fancy new BGHB microsite, pulled together editorially by Elissa and Katie, and aesthetically and conceptually by Lolly and our guys in New York, Bill and Randy. I think they all did a beautiful job.
And seeing the ducklings above reminds me to put in a plug for Boston's fabled Duck Tours. I had never gone until a couple of weekends ago when a college friend was visiting and wanted to see the sights. Feeling too lazy to walk the Freedom Trail, I booked the Duck instead, and I learned a ton about the city's history. My friend Alan (pictured at left piloting the Duck, a bonus available to children aboard as well as to any 60-year-old without shame) was all over the 1776 stuff but I was most happy to finally understand just what the Big Dig was meant to do.

If you've been around any amount of time, you've heard of a principle called, "The Law of Attraction." I don't know all of the ins and outs of this invisible "force." I haven't always bought into some of the claims of it's teachers. However, without being able to do justice to explaining it's causes, I know that there are invisible "attraction law" truths (regardless of the specific labels used) that function in this life.
I have also come to recognize that there are two sides to the same principle. It would probably best be called "The Law of Rejection."
Whereas the "Law of Attraction" seems to function as a magnet, the "Law of Rejection" seems to operate as an invisible barrier or shield.
Have you ever wondered why you seem to repel the very things you say you want in life? I know the feeling.
Let me make this personal for the sake of description:
Early on in life, I had several experiences where I was asked to perform an "also ran" task. Organizations would book "So 'n So" to speak at their conference. Mr. "So 'n So" would cancel at the last minute. I would then get a call from the same organization asking if I could fill in [for the person they had actually wanted]. It got so frequent that, one day, I quipped to some friends, "I need to get some business cards printed and call myself, 'Last Resort Ministries!'"
The thing is…it really wasn't a joke. I truly began to buy into that thought as my reality.
Add to that, I had several other experiences where I began to make internal agreements with the thought that I was a last resort….not the first choice anyone would make. I also worked for a man who often belittled my desired destiny. His words minimized who God actually created me to be.
Now…those things I've described are not that uncommon to life's experiences for lots of people. Everyone has authority figures that minimize them at one time or another. The whole thing is common to the human experience.
The problem was…..I began to believe it. I accepted the whole atmosphere of accusation as truth. Because of that, the flip side of attraction began to work. I began believing (having faith for) REJECTION. And what we believe we project. How it works is above my paygrade to explain clearly….but it does.
An invisible red light began blinking. The heartbeat of an opposing force began pulsating a message that people could more "feel" than hear. Initially attracted, people would ultimately become disinterested and disengage….much to my dismay.
How did I change things?
First, I prayed, "Please show me past scenes in my life where things started going wrong." When a "memory picture" would appear, I asked what agreements, judgments, or vows I had made in conjunction with that situation. I repented for those things and commanded the power of them to be broken over me. I rejected the lies that had been long embedded "truth" for me. I then, began declaring what God said was true about me. And…I keep focusing on the truth to this day. It's quite amazing the emotional freedom you feel after this that goes beyond emotions to clear life differences.
Is the law of attraction upside down for you? It can be flipped right side up!
Be blessed! It's God's plan for you!
I'd be happy to entertain any questions or comments!

It seems fit, before embarking upon the more technical entries that will follow, to take a moment and reminisce days of the past and my first contact with athletics.
I was born in Piraeus, Greece in 1946 and during my very young age I did not show much interest for sports. I was more of a book fan type. Then in 1955 (or was it 54?) something happened. A cousin of mine, who lived in Corfu, was professor of physical education and also coach of the local athletic club. He came to Athens with a junior athlete of his who was to win the 400 and 800 m in the greek junior championships. On that occasion my cousin took me to the stadium (the superb Panathinaikon stadium, that had hosted the first, 1896, Olympic games). In those two days I discovered athletics. It was, as the saying goes, love at first sight.
Athletics became a passion of mine. I started practicing myself and I also became interested in the more "theoretical" aspects of the sport. (A parenthesis is necessary at this point. I knew from the outset that I did not have any particular talent for track and field events and that I could do much better in swimming. However, in the 50s in Greece, swimming-pools, especially indoor ones, were almost non-existent and my swimming career had to wait. Fortunately in the late 70s, I discovered fin-swimming and could, not only satisfy my dream of becoming a swimmer, but also managed to win titles of greek and french champion several times over).
My love for athletics would probably not exist hadn't there been for my cousin who initiated me to the king of all sports. I wish thus to dedicate this entry to his memory, a modest tribute to this noble person.
Yannis Sofos was born in Corinth in 1917. He was a physical education professor and had been a distinguished athlete: an excellent discus thrower but also a very good sprinter while being interested also in team sports and in particular football. The photo that follows shows him at a young age in the attitude of a javelin thrower as represented in ancient greek pottery.
As a member of the Physical Education Academy he had participated at the "Olympiad for folkloric dances" in Berlin, in 1937, where he won the gold medal. He was a fervent supporter of the Olympic idea, always defending the values of olympism in his talks and texts.
Y. Sofos in the 60s
His son, Dr. Apostolos Sofos, has collected the, alas too few, existing manuscripts of his father on the Olympic ideal, and was kind enough to make them available to me together with the photos. (They are in greek, so I do not link to them here. If anybody is interested, he can manifest himself in the comments).
Although I did profit from the advice of Y. Sofos at the beginning of my athletic career, I cannot say that I was really coached by him. When he was living in Corfu this would have been naturally impossible and when, in the 60s, he moved with his family to Athens, I had started losing interest in athletics as a competitor. Still, I have always had a great contact with him, a deep appreciation and respect for his personality and I immensely regret his premature passing away in 1974. This entry is a small tribute to this exceptional person who, by the coincidences that shape our lives, became a cousin of mine (marrying the daughter of my elder aunt) and made me not only discover athletics but also the benefit of physical activity and the excitement of competition. My life has been richer thanks to Yannis: I will always remember him.

BANGALORE No. 1 residence enchancment chain Home Depot Inc (HD.N) is banking on a gradual-however-steady growth strategy and value cuts to struggle lackluster demand for giant-ticket reworking tasks.
Similar in architectural worth, the eyebrow entrance arch is one thing that's rarely utilized. Look how elegant it's! Add some wooden for the ceiling and charm simply abounds. Wonderful consideration for a colonial. Change it up a bit for a extra contemporary feel. Thanks to the magic of Ardex-Feather Finish , you can also make your vanity look precisely like concrete. Essentially what you are doing with this weekend DIY mission is making use of a very thin layer of concrete, after which including the end on prime to create an amazing look.
Instead of buying new expensive doors, you may convert your previous ones by including a sheet of mirror (about $40 per door), and a few trim round it. Buying artwork to your residence can get costly real fast. For these with a inventive inkling, you possibly can simply make your individual artwork, even in the event you're not the best painter on this planet (bonus factors in case you are). This good makeover can be finished in a weekend and can brighten up any bed room with these old ugly bi-fold doorways. While it would take some elbow grease, this is a fairly simple construction challenge that looks nice.
This will not price you greater than $100-200 in materials, although you will want some customary power instruments ( mitre noticed , nail gun , etc.), however it would take at the least a couple of weekends of time, so plan forward. Concrete is not very best for every basement, and if you want to keep away from carpet, your greatest budget option is typically vinyl plank flooring. Not solely is it really easy to install, it's extremely inexpensive, and holds up better than actual hardwood relating to water. Day beds are nice to read on or do some work. If you may have a quiet space, like an attic, think about building your personal daybed.
Stainless steel appliances have a timeless, stylish look. If you have already got stainless steel appliances but they're just a bit worn, consider using liquid chrome steel paint to touch them up. It'll price you between $100-200. As the identify suggests, a sofa table appears nice placed behind a sofa, but is versatile sufficient to be used elsewhere as effectively. It combines environment friendly storage with a chic design. Find professionals the sensible means. See their allow history and a synthesis of their on-line evaluations summarized just for you.

KINGMAN - After seven days of listening to often conflicting and troubling testimony and about eight hours of deliberations over two days, a Mohave County jury on Thursday found Russell Shields guilty of second-degree murder and other crimes in the July 18, 2011 murder of Albert "Beto" Orozco.
The victim's family tearfully thanked prosecutor Doug Camacho and many of the police detectives who investigated the killing following the verdict.
"At least it makes me feel a little better knowing they will pay for what they did," said Araceli Salazar, Orozco's mother. "It's not like this will make us happy again, but we are relieved."
Salazar also said something that every parent who has lost a child for any reason can attest to: "No parent should have to go through this," she said. "Beto made mistakes, I know this now, but he wasn't a bad person. He would do anything for you. He would give you his food if you were hungry. He would give you his shirt if you needed it. He was the guy that made everybody laugh ... his biggest mistake was hanging around the wrong people."
Orozco did deal methamphetamine and Kingman police believe he was killed because he owed a huge amount of meth and money to his supplier, who was reportedly in league with a Mexican drug cartel in Phoenix.
Shields, 44, owed the same supplier a large amount of cash and police speculate Shields was given the opportunity to "work off" his debt by killing Orozco for the cartel.
Testimony alleged Orozco owed about $40,000. Shields owed about $8,000.
Orozco was also on track to graduate from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute and planned on becoming a chef.
His future was taken away and now the man police believe is most responsible must pay the consequences.
The jury couldn't agree that Shields and his former codefendant, John Langan, 35, robbed Orozco the night he was killed and his body abandoned on a Kingman street. That doubt allowed him to avoid a first-degree murder conviction that could have led to a life sentence.
But they readily agreed he was responsible for the 27-year-old father's death even though it's likely nobody but Shields and Langan will ever know for certain who pulled the trigger.
Jurors also found Shields guilty of abandonment of a body. After going through the victim's pockets, the men placed Orozco's body in his maroon Honda and parked it on a side street. A man discovered the body after hearing music coming from the car and called Kingman police.
Shields was found guilty of tampering with physical evidence for breaking apart the weapon used in the shooting and throwing parts of it in a nearby field. Langan led detectives to the field and parts of the gun were recovered. The two men also cleaned up the crime scene and destroyed other evidence.
He was found guilty of hindering prosecution for the repeated lies he told Kingman detectives who investigated the murder, and he was found guilty of misconduct involving a weapon for obvious reasons.
Judge Derek Carlisle set a sentencing date for 3 p.m. Feb. 25. While Shields could face up to 16 years just on the second-degree murder conviction, Carlisle will have to determine several aggravating factors that could enhance Shields' prison term.
Shields exercised his right to have Carlisle determine any aggravating factors, but he stipulated to one of them the state sought, that the killing caused emotional and financial harm to the victim's family.
While that may seem like a noble gesture, the move actually kept Orozco's mother and other relatives from telling the jury how the killing has affected their lives.
They will be afforded the opportunity to speak to Carlisle at Shields' sentencing hearing.
Other aggravating factors Carlisle must consider in sentencing Shields involve:
The fact a deadly weapon was used in the crime. Orozco died from a single gunshot wound.
An accomplice: Langan and Shields were involved in the crime.
An expectation of procuring anything of pecuniary value: Did Shields gain from the killing?
And laying in wait.
Also, Carlisle must consider that Shields has several prior felony convictions, which will enhance his sentence, and the fact that Shields was on bond regarding another felony arrest at the time of the murder.
Carlisle has a moderate amount of discretion in sentencing Shields, but at the very least he will spend at least 20 years behind bars - if Carlisle finds none of the aggravating factors and enhancements apply.
The sentencing range for second-degree murder is from 10 to 16 years, and can go up to 25 years with the aggravating factors.
Last year, Shields was sentenced to 10 years on an unrelated conviction of possessing several ounces of methamphetamine. A second drug conviction handed down last year ended with a five-year sentence, which is under appeal.
Finally, Shields has yet another drug and weapons offense case that has yet to be decided.
Should Carlisle throw the proverbial book at Shields, he could give him the maximum allowable term and stack each sentence on top of each other, meaning Shields would have to finish one sentence before beginning another.

As I updated grades for Infinite Campus this weekend, I noticed that many students still have not returned their signed Classroom Management sheet. These sheets were worth 10points in the 4-6 grades and 15 points in the 7/8 grade band. Thus, with a limited number of grades in the gradebook to date, this assignment makes up a significant portion of your grade to-date.
But, fear not: YOU CAN EARN THESE POINTS!
If you have lost the sheet, please come see me to get a new copy. If you continue to forget it (or it's lost in the black hole known as "the bottom of your backpack"), please find it an turn it in. This will quickly turn your grade around and I will input them as soon as I receive them. Remember, your grade affects which activities you can participate in!
Any concerns can be directed to me via e-mail: email@example.com
I will also attach the file to this post, so that you may download and print it at home if it is more convenient for you.

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl Recalls Being Peed on by Friend's Dog During Tough Times
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl got himself into a sticky situation back in 1997 when frozen assets stemming from his divorce left him temporarily homeless. Reflecting on the situation on Howard Stern's satellite radio show, Grohl revealed that he stayed with his friend during the tumultuous period, but ran into a situation where his friend's dog targeted him with urine while he slept.
"I was living in my friend Pete Stahl's back room, and he had this dog named Dinky that pissed on me in my f---ing sleep every night. I was in a sleeping bag in the back room," recalls Grohl. "The dog f---ing peed on me man. I'd wake up in a wet sleeping bag because Dinky peed on me." Stahl is the brother of Franz Stahl, Grohl's onetime Foo Fighters bandmate. Both Stahl brothers also played with Grohl in the Washington, D.C. band Scream.
The Foo Fighters frontman was recording 'The Colour and the Shape' during this transitional period and hilariously clarified some backstory about 'Everlong' to Stern on the heels of the dog story. "That's a love song, it's not about Dinky pissing on me," joked the singer.
Grohl went on to tell Stern how 'My Hero' wasn't about Kurt Cobain, despite what many had speculated. He explained, "I didn't write it like that [about Kurt]. You know what's weird, when I wrote that, I had this house in Seattle, and downstairs in the basement was a laundry room, and right next to the laundry room was this tiny little concrete room. I set the drums up there, and I had this little 8 track cassette demo recording thing. I was upstairs watching television, and I came up with the riff, I went downstairs and recorded the drums, bass, and guitar, and sang [the chorus] over it as a temporary vocal, and it stayed."

We represent a diversified portfolio of automotive brands, including all 20 of the top 20 selling car brands in Australia and 10 of the top 11 selling luxury car brands. In total, we represent 33 car brands and 11 truck and bus brands.
Our core business consists of the ownership and operation of motor vehicle dealerships. We provide full facilities including the sale of new and used vehicles, service, parts and the facilitation of allied consumer finance.
Our operations are generally provided through strategically clustered dealerships, many of which are situated on properties owned by us, with the balance leased.
We own $307 million of prime real estate positioned in high profile, main road locations in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Newcastle.
Dividends and EPS Growth
We have paid a dividend to shareholders every year since listing in 1957, and a record dividend in 15 of the past 16 years. A.P. Eagers also has a track record of delivering Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth from acquisitions.
Our origins trace back to 1913 when Edward Eager and his son, Frederic, founded their family automotive business, E.G. Eager & Son Ltd, which continues today as a wholly-owned subsidiary of A.P. Eagers Limited.
After establishing the first motor vehicle assembly plant in Queensland in 1922, the business secured the distributorship of General Motors' products in Queensland and northern New South Wales in 1930 and listed as a public company in 1957 under the name Eagers Holdings Limited.
A merger in 1992 with the listed A.P. Group Limited saw the addition of a number of new franchises and our name change to A.P. Eagers Limited. Further new franchises and geographic diversification have since followed.
Since 2000, our sales revenue has increased from $500 million to $4.1 billion, profit after tax has increased from $4.3 million to $98.2 million in 2017 and the number of employees has increased from 600 to 4,350.
We expanded into the Northern Territory with the acquisition of Bridge Toyota in 2005.
In 2007, we established ourselves on the Gold Coast with the acquisition of Surfers City Holden.
The addition of Kloster Motor Group in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley region in 2007 heralded our advance into New South Wales. Our operations in that state grew with the acquisition of Bill Buckle Auto Group in Sydney's northern beaches region including Brookvale in 2008.
In 2010, we acquired the publicly listed Adtrans Group Limited, being South Australia's premier car retailer and the operator of truck and bus dealerships in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. This represented our direct entry into the South Australian, Victorian and truck markets. We also acquired Caloundra City Autos Group in Queensland's growing Sunshine Coast region in 2010.
Further expansion of our truck and bus operations occurred in late 2010 with the addition of six new franchises in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
Daimler Trucks Adelaide and Eblen Motors were acquired in 2011 and Main North and Unley Nissan and Renault, in Adelaide, were acquired in 2013 to complement our existing operations in South Australia.
A strategic holding in listed Automotive Group Holdings Limited (AHG) was acquired in 2012, providing us with exposure to the West Australian market. This investment represented 23.8% of AHG, valued at $287 million, at the end of 2017.
Northern Beaches Land Rover and Jaguar were added to our Bill Buckle operations at Brookvale during 2013.
A new business, Precision Automotive Technology, was established in 2013 to source and distribute our own range of car care products under the brand names, Perfexion and 365+.
In 2014, our Queensland operations expanded through the acquisition of Ian Boettcher Motors in Ipswich representing Mazda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Suzuki and Proton, and the Craig Black Group representing Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi and Great Wall at multiple locations in south-west and central Queensland. Volvo Sunshine Coast and Reynella Subaru were also added to the group during 2014.
2016 saw further growth with the acquisition of Motors Group Tasmania, including state-wide representation for Holden, HSV, Hyundai, Citroen, Isuzu Trucks, Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks and UD Trucks, together with the Victorian businesses Silver Star Motors (Mercedes-Benz) in Doncaster and Burwood, Mercedes–Benz Ringwood and Waverley Toyota in Glen Waverley. These businesses represent 12 car and truck brands.
Our representation in regional Queensland also saw substantial growth in 2016 with the acquisition of the Crampton Automotive and Tony Ireland Groups, representing Holden, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Citroen, Peugeot, Jaguar, Land Rover, Subaru, Chrysler Jeep Dodge and Isuzu Trucks, and taking us into new geographic territories in Toowoomba, Townsville and Hervey Bay.
In 2016 we launched our first Carzoos retail stores at Westfield Garden City and North Lakes, in Brisbane, introducing an entirely new way for customers to buy and sell used cars. Carzoos is supported by our new finance initiative, Simplr.
In 2017 we committed to establish a major new automotive retailing and mobility hub on 61,400m2 within Brisbane Airport's new $300 million BNE Auto Mall project in 2021. The plan is to create a world-class automotive retailing experience for our customers of the future.

Perilous Futures
On Carl Schmitt's Late Writings
Since his death, the writings of Carl Schmitt (1888–1985) have been debated, cited, and adopted by political and legal thinkers on both the left and right with increasing frequency, though not without controversy given Schmitt's unwavering support for National Socialism before and during World War II. In Perilous Futures, Peter Uwe Hohendahl calls for critical scrutiny of Schmitt's later writings, the work in which Schmitt wrestles with concerns that retain present-day relevance: globalization, asymmetrical warfare, and the shifting international order. Hohendahl argues that Schmitt's work seems to offer solutions to these present-day issues, although the ambiguity of his beliefs means that Schmitt's later work is a problematic guide.
Focusing on works Schmitt published after the war—including The Nomos of the Earth, Theory of the Partisan and Political Theology II—as well as his posthumously published diaries, Hohendahl reads these works critically against the backdrop of their biographical and historical contexts, he charts the shift in Schmitt's perspective from a German nationalist focus to a European and then international agenda, while attending to both the conceptual and theoretical continuities with his prewar work and addressing the tension between the specific circumstances in which Schmitt was writing and the later international appropriation. Crossing disciplines of history, political theory, international relations, German studies, and political philosophy, Hohendahl brings Schmitt's later writings into contemporary discourse and forces us to reexamine what we believe about Carl Schmitt.

2004 NZ, Tahiti & SE Asia
View Larger Map
With Mars having never been to New Zealand I was keen to show her the beauty of the place. I figured that I ran out of time there last time with heaps of treks still on my itinerary. So I wanted to get the maximum out of my time there now by doubling the time spent there this time. Unfortunately the weather and my health didn't want to play their part.
We started with a simple trek firstly to get into shape. I chose to walk the St James' Walkway again. I made that my first trek last time as well, and found it perfect to get into it. But this time I injured my knee there being a bit to zealous. It was going to play up during the whole trip in the end.
NZ had heaps of backcountry huts which means you don't need to bring a tent to go trekking.
It's just perfectly setup for this kind of stuff.
There is plenty to see just from the side of the road. This is Otago.
We went about by hitchhiking, which is very easy there.
I made a tiny little mistake with the budget by not allowing for contingency funds for things like injuries. The idea was to stay in the backcountry huts which is dirt cheap on an annual pass. But due to my injury I couldn't walk much and because the rangers kick you out of the huts if you stay for more than 2 nights, we were forced to stay in hostels and other expensive accommodation. This blew the budget out pretty quickly. Luckily Queenstown was having some staffing problems. So we went there and applied for a housekeeping job in a 4 star hotel. After not too long we got sick of that, so we went to work at Subway restaurant. We didn't last too long there either, but we made enough to sit out our time in NZ until we were going to fly out to Tahiti.
Luckily for us Queenstown very pretty if the weather is right.
Lake Wakatipu
The founder and his best mate. How Kiwi is that?
To spend the time we travelled around the South Island to take in all the hot spots.
Franz Joseph glacier
Milford Sound
The fjords
Just amazing the carving power that those glaciers have.
We did do one 2 day trek still. The Croesus Track. It's still one of the best I've done because of the time spent above the tree line.
The Tasman Sea is on the other side of the fog.
Warming up next to the stove.
What goes up must come down.
Our flight and our friends were in Auckland, so we had to make our way over to the North Island as well. I prefer the South Island over the North.
Mount Ngauruhoe is an active volcano.
Next stop was Tahiti.
Moorea Island is one of the many islands that make up Tahiti.
The accommodation isn't too shabby. Talked US$100 off this one. But that still left heaps to pay.
From Tahiti we flew to Kuala Lumpur the Malaysian capitol via Australia on our way to London to be a bit closer to my family.
The Petronas Towers. Once the tallest building in the world.
Having already travelled some of the northern part of South East Asia, I wanted to see some of the southern part. So we aimed to travel to Krabi in Thailand. It was very beautiful, but on this stretch of the trip I decided that I had enough of backpacking and wanted to start riding a motorbike around instead.
The famous limestone peaks sticking out of the water at Ao Nang near Krabi.

Microsoft announces Age of Empires IV with an era-jumping trailer
BY Jack Holmes August 28 2017
About twenty years ago, the Age of Empires franchise ushered a fresh revival to real-time strategy video games and summoned gamers to experience different eras of history. While it's been more than a decade since the last Age of Empires franchise, Age of Empires III was released, Microsoft Studios is finally going to change that. Publisher Microsoft Studios has announced that Age of Empires IV is in development and coming to PC.
There's no release date for the game; just the launch trailer, filled with concept art of historical battles. But even that will be enough to get aficionados of the franchise excited.
The first Age of Empires came out in 1997 as a real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble Studios. Players had to steer their armies through the Stone Age to the Classical period, with a sequel in 1999, Age of Empires II, taking the action to the Middle Ages. Age of Empires III came out in 2005, pivoting on the colonial period, and adding a set of new features to the game, and in 2011, the franchise tried its hand at free-to-play, with Age of Empires Online with a cartoonish style.
Since the original Age of Empires developer, Ensemble Studios is now-defunct, Canada's Relic Entertainment will take the lead in developing Age of Empires IV. Relic Entertainment has previously been well known for a number of well-received strategy games, including Company of Heroes and Homeworld. Judging by the absence of gameplay footage in the announcement trailer, Age of Empires IV is obviously still in the beginning stages of the development process. But it resembles to once again highlight diverse classical armies, as the concept art in the trailer includes Spanish conquerors, Roman troops, British soldiers, Japanese Samurai and Native American tribes during the Revolutionary War.
We can't wait to tap into our strengths as a studio to fuse historical context with deep strategic gameplay, and to bring this franchise back to the forefront of gaming and into the hands of its beloved community," said a Relic Entertainment spokesperson, in a brief statement. Luckily, fans won't have to wait too long for more Age of Empires. Microsoft is publishing a 4k remastered release of the original game, which will be called Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. It will be available on October 19, exclusively on the Windows Store in Windows 10.
