Representing: Union
G.A.R. Post: John Buford Post #89 Everett. WA
2nd IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Organized: April & May, 1861 Keokuk, IA
Mustered In: 5/27 & 28/61
Mustered Out: 7/12/65 Louisville, KY
The 2nd was Iowa's first three year regiment and first from the state to take the field. In mid June the unit traveled to Missouri where it maintained order while guarding railroads and prisoners. Before long the Missouri climate, not Missouri rebels had reduced their once strong ranks to 400.
The regiment would spend the winter recuperating. Early 1862 saw the 2nd perform magnificently at Ft. Donelson, TN. They lead the column storming the enemy's works on the left, planted their flag on the out works and poured a murderous fire into the Confederates compelling them to retreat to inner fortifications.
As a result, the 2nd was awarded the honor of being the first Federal regiment to enter the surrendered fort. The price, however, had been 41 killed and 157 wounded out of 630 in action. From Donelson the regiment moved on to Shiloh (80 killed and wounded), the siege/battle for Corinth, MS (108 killed, wounded and missing out of 346 engaged) and the pursuit of Confed. Gen. Beau regard's fleeing troops.
Movements into Tennessee and Alabama capped the year. While 1863 proved relatively quiet for the 2nd, such was not the case with 1864. After reenlisting as a veteran organization the regiment joined the Union movement toward Atlanta, GA.
They skirmished at Snake Creek, fought at Resaca and other points and participated in the siege/battle for Atlanta. At Jonesboro they, along with another infantry unit, cleared the way for the cavalry through a fortified position. The 2nd then marched to the sea and moved into Savannah.
1865 found the 2nd moving northward through the Carolinas where it completed its fighting history at Columbia and Lynch's Creek. Participation in the Grand Review in Washington City preceded final muster.
Residence: Forest City, IA Age: 19.2 yrs.
Enlisted: 10/12/64 Ft. Dodge, IA Rank: Pvt.
Mustered Out: 7/12/65 Louisville, KY
Highest Rank: Pvt.
George H. Durham was born 12/17/45 in Illinois. No additional details are available on his birth family or formative years. In 1864 the 5'3" teenaged farm boy entered the U.S. Army as a "substitute." Most likely he was paid to enlist by the drafted individual he was replacing. While private Durham's unit was combat active in late 1864 and early 1865, the experience does not appear to have proven deleterious to his health. In fact, available documents make no reference what-so-ever to George's military tenure.
Leaving the army Mr. Durham settled in Richester, MN. He likely remained there until 1871 when he removed to Waseka where, in 1885, he married Mary Coutter. The Durham's then moved to Illinois where, in November, 1887, in Douncey, daughter Chlora E. was born. A second, unnamed child was born in May, 1889, but died the same year. At some point thereafter George and Mary divorced. In 1915 Mr. Durham noted that he'd last heard Mary was in Canada, but had no knowledge of where or if she was even still alive.
From Illinois the former Union infantryman appears to have made a stop in Minneapolis, MN before moving west to Everett, WA. Why he chose Everett is not indicated. However, in that community he "became well known….as an expressman and as member of the G.A.R." George Durham died in Everett on 4/21/15. No cause of death was listed in his obituary. While the obituary indicated he was "67," a comparison of birth and death dates would place his age at 69.4 years. At his passing he was receiving a $15.50 monthly government disability stipend.

Age-Related Changes in Functional Teeth in the Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens)
- 15 Downloads
- Citations
We examined functional teeth (except for upper canine teeth) of Pacific walruses that died or were harvested on the coast of the Chukchi Peninsula in 2005, 2007–2008, and 2010–2011. The dynamics of deposition of annual cement layers was investigated. The rate of cement deposition on the walls of tooth roots decreased significantly with age. The rate of its deposition on the lingual side of the upper teeth was much higher than that on their buccal side, but no such differences were observed on the lower teeth. The same cement layer was deposited unevenly in different parts of teeth (on its different sides and levels) with a general tendency of increasing in the width of the layer from the top to the lower parts of teeth. As a result of local widening of some cement layers with age, the tooth surface became rough, and knolls and rollers appeared there. As the age increased, external changes in teeth occurred: they became larger, more rounded, and heavier. We described a method for the preliminary determination of the relative age of walruses based on the ratio between the width of cement and dentin on the attrition surface of lower teeth (without cutting).

When you arrive to a new city and venture out from your hotel, you started gathering information from your surroundings to see if you're going to enjoy your stay. Since Johannesburg is large and sprawling, it's not like you walk out to get a look and feel of the city.
My first destination was The Foundry for dinner. Located in the upscale Parktown area, I figure the mix of a craft beer bar, a high rating on Zomato and the open dining room would be a comforting destination to enjoy the warm sunset.
When I saw the menu with dozens of local craft beer and wine options on top of a fun-looking cocktail list, I knew I had a lot of drinking in front of me. Above is the Cup of Tea, Please — inverroche, strawberries & cream tea, tonic, lime and cucumber ice ball served it a tea pot.
The dinner options, from flatbreads, grill and bistro fair, was making me nervous. Everything looked amazing. When it comes to tough decisions, I always use my rule — if it has bacon, order it. I went with the pork belly grill with smashed potatoes. It was amazing.
After dinner, I went to the bar area to drink more beer, which includes their own house made pilsner, Franky Four Finger. On draft that day included brews from CBC, Naked Mexican, Striped Horse and Boston (not to be confused with Boston Beer Co./Sam Adams).
Fast forward to my last day in the city, which was Halloween. I was exhausted and cranky from my month-long trip and was ready to get back to New Jersey. I didn't want to be surprised and wanted something safe, so I went back to The Foundry. It was also the Rugby World Cup final with New Zealand vs Australia. The restaurant had a giant projection screen in the dining room. I ordered The Big Lebowski — Vanilla Vodka, Lavender Liquor, Martini Bianco, Martini Dry, Lime Juice with a side of the same cocktail in solid form. For dinner, I went with the rotisserie chicken, which was lovely.
Dessert — A chocolate bar with mascarpone, crushed malted milk balls and salted caramel. I ordered it on both visits.

Ah the life...
After days of searching for a campground that had "beach front" sites actually on the beach, we've hit gold in the town of 1770. Sitting in front of the camper drinking Bundys and Ginger Beer watching the sunset thinking about surf lessons in the morning. Doesn't get much better than this.

Mike Martin (politician) : biography
Michael Wayne Martin, known as Mike Martin, is a Republican former member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 13 in Longview in Gregg County, Texas. He served from January 1981 until his resignation in April 1982.
In the 1980 general election, Martin, who then listed his occupation as a carpenter, unseated Democratic State Representative James E. Mankins, who was considered a prime possibility to become Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives. In the 1981 House session, Martin offered one bill, which never came to a vote, a proposal to require the teaching of creationism along with the theory of evolution in public school science classes. He was named as one of the "Ten Worst Legislators" by Texas Monthly magazine.
In the summer of 1981, Martin was living in a recreational vehicle at a mobile home park in east Austin. Four shotgun blasts were fired at his vehicle on the night of July 31, and three struck Martin in his left arm. At first he attributed the shooting to a Satanic cult that he had been investigating. Thereafter, Charles Goff, a cousin of Martin's, said that he had fired the shots at Martin's behest to gain political sympathy for the young lawmaker who was contemplating a run for the Texas State Senate in 1982. Goff also said that Martin had offered him a high-paying state job. Authorities located Martin at his mother's farmhouse in northeast Texas hiding in a stereo cabinet. He was charged with perjury by District Attorney Ronnie Earle and subsequently resigned from the state House after a protracted legal fight. He pleaded guilty in April 1982 and was convicted of misdemeanor perjury and paid a $2000 dollar fine, though his lawyer said he did not admit staging the shooting. By 2007, Martin said that the shots were the result of a road rage incident which he had instigated on South Congress Avenue in Austin, and he has given an account of the incident on his website. In the spring of 1982, voters in a special election returned Mankins to the vacant House seat.
In 1984, he and his wife, Debbie Martin, later of Garland, Texas, divorced. In July 1986, Martin left with his two children, Michael Trent Martin (born 1978) and Arianna Martin (born 1981) to live and work in Wellington, New Zealand. A federal case was brought over the custody, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation allowed him to return the children to the United States late in 1988.
In 2007, Martin, then fifty-five and an electrical engineer for a hospital, was living in Travis County and ran for town council in Bee Cave under the name "Wayne Martin."

It is a misty late afternoon and we leave Kabale town for 'Gorillas In The Mist' Safari Lodge, located on the chief viewpoint of Lake Bunyonyi; with two great friends who double as colleagues – Owen and Daniel – on a consulting assignment, our exhilaration could not be tamed as we moved past the stone quarry (located at about 8 minutes from Kabale town) along the way to Bunyonyi. Edwin, our guide, was so kind and he is one of the most humble guys I have ever met. With deep knowledge and unmatched goodwill in the area, we could never have achieved access to some of the most amazing places and viewpoints without him. But most importantly, we carried our adventure spirits along with us!
With Edwin and Owen, incredible guys!. Photo credit: Daniel Muhanguzi
If it is your first time to hear about Lake Bunyonyi, let's take a glimpse into one of the finest magical places in the great lakes region. Located in the greater Virunga catchment area that stretches to Rwanda and Eastern Congo, Lake Bunyonyi ('the land of many little birds') lies 8km West of Kabale town in South Western Uganda, close to the border with Rwanda. Though the depth has not been established with pin-point accuracy, the lake is undoubtedly the deepest in Uganda and would be the second deepest in Africa (only after Lake Tanganyika) if the highest estimate (900 m or 2,952 ft) were true. With 29 islands (the most renowned ones including; Akampene – punishment island, Bushara, Kyahungye, Bucuranuka and Bwama and Njuyera) concentrated mainly in the central part, the lake stretches 25 km long and 7 km wide covering an area of 61 square km and surrounded by hills as high as 2,478 m above sea level. This spectacular elevation gives you unrivaled view of this beautiful lake with its characteristic dotted islands.
We were welcomed at 'Gorillas in the Mist' by the graciously looking zigzag patterned islands that form the mighty Bunyonyi Archipelago. The view was spectacular and unrivaled. Compared to my first view of the Lake from the distant Kacwekano village about six months earlier, this was inconceivable. I was personally taken into consternation and wonder at how magical this lake could appear. It was a bit misty earlier into our view but the mist gradually cleared. We could not contain it but indulge in some sort of a photo shooting fiesta and we captured some of the rarest shots.

As the excitement slowed down, we came back to our senses that we actually had gone for work; so with our tape measures and note books ready, the caretaker of the Lodge, Mr. Nyesiga, another humble and highly hospitable middle aged man, took us through the property. The Lodge will be undergoing a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art upgrade into a 5-star safari lodge and our role was to provide an initial project conceptualization and strategy. Seated on 11 acres of prime view, the lodge, albeit still modest, already boasts of six spacious and very compelling high-end rooms as well as a mini-bar facility. But with this kind of huge endowment of space, proximity, stunning view of the lake and terraces as well as dedication of the proprietors, the lodge will soon develop into one of the most thought-after safari lodges in Bunyonyi and the rest of Virunga tourist catchment.
Finishing our preliminary work, our guide, Edwin, was kind enough to take us through the rest of the view points and safari lodges around the lake. Beginning with Acardia cottages (yes, these are very outstanding cottages!), we enjoyed another great view of the lake that served as a control experiment before we headed down where we visited Bird Nest, the renowned Overland Camp Resort as well as Bunyonyi Safari Lodge, all located on the lake shores. Some of the islands now appeared at close range. It was already too late to take a canoe cruise and oh yes, there was a speed boat at the overland camp and resort!

So we headed back up to 'Gorilla in the Mist' where we would spend our night. Taking a stopover at the nearby trading center to enjoy a moment with the locals, we grabbed a moment and a chat with some women at their businesses. It was a good feeling, so authentic and relaxing, but we would soon continue to the lodge.
It was a wonderful night altogether, spacious room (yes, we preferred to share one room so we could use the night to share ideas about the project), hot water in the bath, spotless white beddings and great service unmatched. But what became even more outstanding was the view of the lake as darkness began to scatter in the morning. Daniel – an endowed photography enthusiast was up by 5:30am and waited to capture series of shots as dawn unfolded. He was kind enough to wake us up and we captured some of the most unprecedented shots no one has ever achieved. Franked by Mt. Muhabura in the center far background, the lake looked so dazzling at dawn and as the sun began to break from its cradle, the whole scenery looked like a huge painting from a master painter. I nearly cried!

Retreating back to Kabale town that morning, it was freaking cold but endearing and most fascinating was the thick mist that we only could see thick clouds down where we were headed and we were prompted to coin a phrase; 'Bunyonyi: where the sky is under your feet'.

The intern will be in residence in Ithaca as well as 4-H Camp Bristol Hills in Canandaigua, New York. There will also be some interaction with CCE Tompkins County to develop local program delivery sites.
The intern will contribute to a new FFF Health and the Brain Neuroscience Outreach initiative led by Dr. Valerie Reyna. The summer internship will involve translation of Dr. Reyna's research findings into age-appropriate educational materials and hands-on activities, planning for the initial development of educational modules (potentially on eating or fitness and the brain) with CCE educators and members of the research team, and delivering the module or component activities. The project will address youth development goals in STEM and Healthy Living while also addressing the College of Human Ecology priority of integrating scientific research with community service. Specifically, we will seek innovative methods for not only translating faculty research, but also engaging youth directly in it.
The Health and the Brain Neuroscience Outreach project integrates research and extension activities with the aim of developing a six-hour 4-H STEM curriculum on health and the brain that draws directly on research by faculty in the Department of Human Development. Three to six modules will be developed that use hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning methods to engage students in learning about the brain, health and science. The project will utilize the national 4-H SET curriculum design system to make the modules widely available. Modules will be piloted in various youth development venues and activities such as: 4-H clubs, classrooms and 4-H Career Explorations.
The intern will work closely with Dr. Reyna's research team as well as with CCE educators. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: planning, research on curriculum, research on curriculum design and delivery methodology and pilot teaching the curriculum.
Must be a full-time CHE freshman, sophomore or junior. Graduating seniors are not eligible.
The preferred candidate will demonstrate a high level of enthusiasm for Dr. Reyna's research in memory across the life span and adolescent risky decision making and for applying this research in outreach and educational settings and working with youth. The candidate will also have completed general coursework in Human Development or Human Biology, Health and Society and be in excellent academic standing.
The intern will have the opportunity to gain skills in program development, translation and application of research to real-world problems, working with and through others, translating research into outreach and educational materials and youth development programming. They will also have the opportunity to gain knowledge of psychology and related behavioral sciences, public health and issues in education.

Pendant measures 1 1/2" in diameter and weighs 16 grams.
Waxed cotton fiber cord can be adjusted from approximately 16-30" in length. Comes in a lovely recycled and biodegradable box that tells the story of Peace Bronze©. Makes a great gift.
From War to Peace turns weapons meant to destroy us into art meant to restore us, swords into plowshares, bombs into beauty, hate into love, & war into peace. They recycle copper from disarmed nuclear weapon systems to create a remarkable alloy called Peace Bronze©, made from 95% copper, 4% silicon, and about 1% manganese.
Made entirely in the USA.

Possibly my favorite record from one of my favorite punk bands, this no-filler 12 inch EP is a focused blast of righteous anti-war venom (and, uh, "Let's Fuck"). Eight songs, including covers of the Dils and Edwin Starr's classic funk monolith "War," which sounds surprisingly non-dorky in the hands of these pasty Canadians.

The Samsonite five year warranty is worth nothing
My wife and I travel a lot, and we have learned that buying cheap suitcases can cost you. On one trip to Britain we needed to buy a badly damaged suitcase, and was forced to buy a cheap one. It lasted one trip ony and is now use to store clothes in the attic.
So we have normally bought Samsonite suitcases, as they are known to be sturdy. That being said, we have twice been forced to go back to the store because of damage, and every time we have faced the same strange Catch 22 situation:
"Yes, sir/ma'am, there is indeed a five year guarantee, but that is for production errors. This suitcase was damaged during transport."
"So you are saying the warranty is void because we have used the Samsonite suitcase for travelling?"
"Yes, the warranty is only for manfacturing defects."
"Ah, but we have used this suitcase only once, from London. Isn't a Samsonite meant to be able to handle the hardship of one flight?"
"I don't know about that, sir, but Samsonite won't reimburse us for a new suitcase if the old one was damaged during transport."
"Hm, but the reason we bought Samsonite is because they promote their strength and their warranty. Isn't this close to fraud?"
"The warranty clearly states it covers only manufacturing defects and does not cover any damage caused by misuse, neglect, accidents, abrasion, exposure to extreme temperatures, solvents, acids, water, normal wear and tear or transport damage — by airlines for example."
"I see, but you do understand that manufacturing defects are already covered by Norwegian consumer laws. You will have to replace such a suitcase for no cost, anyway, so what is the bl&%/(y point in having a Samsonite warranty?"
"That's the way it is, sir"

Apple App Store hits 15 billion downloads
You guys have clearly been downloading the heck out of the App Store haven't you? 15 billion downloads is no small figure, and the more amazing thing is that this figure has been hit a mere 3 years after the launch of the app store. We don't even want to begin to think about how many per day that is, but one thing you can be sure of is that Angry Birds would have quite a lot to do with that this year. Still, there are about 425,000 apps available for your downloading pleasure today, and you can be sure that 15 bil number is increasing all the time. Not a bad time to be an App Developer either, with Apple paying dev's around $2.5 billion US Dollars, which is a huge amount. A good time to be Apple too.

I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
Sometimes it feels as if you've got to do everything perfectly – to be perfect, in fact. It's like a voice ringing in your head: 'Don't you dare get it wrong! Surely you're capable of doing everything right, so go on, seek options, work hard, pay attention, analyse, and obtain the best result!' So you set to work, and you're constantly seeking new, better options. You rewrite a sentence in a letter a hundred times, trying to find the right words. You go through dozens of websites with descriptions and reviews of merchandise, trying to choose the best. You plan the menu for a party up to minute details. You create extensive tables and graphs in an attempt to plan the best ever holiday trip. Still, that voice in your head keeps nagging: 'It's either perfect or nothing at all!' And sometimes, in the end, you're so exhausted with this interminable analysis that you don't care anymore. Better nothing at all.
This internal voice is one of five "drivers". I'm very familiar with it myself. It is called the "be perfect" driver.
Such driver behaviour is first developed in our childhood, most often as a means of adaptation to certain "negative" messages perceived from our parents. It can happen in many ways. Imagine that, for example, somebody's parents often used to complain that there is no-one to mind the child, and because of this they have no "private time" for themselves. They would say this in the child's hearing, without paying much attention to the fact (or perhaps thinking that a child of four wouldn't understand anything anyway). And thus the child gradually starts to believe that nobody needs him, and that the parents would be happier on their own. It is a difficult realisation to live with, and the child begins to seek ways to wriggle out of it. 'When I do everything right, my parents boast about me to their friends. Therefore, if I keep doing everything perfectly, my parents will continue to need me', the child thinks, as if justifying his right to existence.
From now on, in every situation the child and later the grown adult will seek the "correct" solution. As time goes on, tidying up one's toys, saying something clever or reciting a little poem will turn into getting good grades, choosing the "right" profession, finding a "suitable" partner. And even when the negative messages and the driver will long have been deployed into the unconscious, the behaviour patterns will stay.
In consequence, while such driver behaviour has obvious negative consequences (picking on oneself and on others, emotional burnout, lack of energy), it also fulfils the very necessary function of ensuring survival under deep parental prohibitions. This is why it is important to be very careful when working with drivers.
The people led by the "be perfect" driver will usually analyse a situation efficiently, and will brilliantly find an optimal solution. They tend to be voluble in conversation, speaking in long phrases with numerous relative clauses in an effort to express their thoughts perfectly. When answering a question, they will often look to one side or stare into distance, as if trying to find the correct formula or to read the right answer in the depths of their conscience.
There is an antidote to the 'I have to be perfect' conviction. This is it: 'You may be yourself – you're actually good enough as you are'. Of course, it can be formulated in different ways (for example: 'You don't have to be perfect – it is sufficient to be good enough in something', 'You don't always have to get the best grade in whatever you do: sometimes you may allow yourself to get merely a good one'), but the general idea is the same. Try to invent other formulas, read them and think about them. If you feel they are met with strong resistance, the driver might be masking some heavy parental prescription. In that case, better not insist to get rid of driver behaviour quickly. First it is important to analyse why you have developed such a scheme of action, and modify certain deeper convictions.
It is important to understand that in certain situations these drivers may prove useful. So you may allow yourself to employ them when necessary, but also let yourself relax from time to time.

Campaigners who fought to keep open Primrose Hill Care Home have vowed to appeal the decision after Leeds City Council said they will accept no new admissions.
The council's executive members decided last week that the Boston Spa home would stay open for current residents but would then close in a bid to save the council money.
The Save Primrose Hill campaign group will now appeal the decision which they say is "appalling" for current residents and for the future of elderly people in the area.
In a letter to the Wetherby News this week campaigners stated: "For the staff who for so long have dedicated themselves to looking after the residents, this is a devastating decision.
"For the families and relatives who visit regularly during every week, the prospect of long distance travelling by either bus or car does not bode well; costly, visiting time being reduced by extra travel time, huge disruption during winter bad weather and just the sheer effort as most sons and daughters of residents are well into their 60s and 70s."
The group will now write to Leeds City Council's Chief Executive Tom Riordon to request that the decision is withdrawn and that a "full and balanced review" is undertaken.
And the campaigners say they have a series of unanswered questions including when the residential home will close and where future residents will go.
Wetherby Mayor Alan Lamb said he would also be fighting the council decision.
In his Wetherby News column this week, Coun Lamb wrote: "I can tell you that we will not let this decision go ahead without a fight.
"My colleagues and I will be calling this decision in to a scrutiny enquiry with the intention of having it re-considered.
"We genuinely believe there is a far better solution that would be better for the taxpayers of Leeds, that would provide a care home which is much needed in our community for many years to come and would give current residents and their families deserved piece of mind and security for the remainder of their lives."
A petition gathered more than 6,000 signatures.

'Lord, I'm not ready to go yet. I have so much I want to do first.' These are, normally, the last words of an individual that is looking at death eye to eye. This is not a display of readiness or fearlessness. Yet, some claim; 'I don't know how long I'll live so I'll try to have all the fun I can. You only live once.' This is a 'temporary' view on life. This statement hints toward the thought of being young forever. So, when Death comes, we feel that we are not ready. The 'temporary' view, on life, seems to, unintentionally, equate aging with death.
As one ages, their experiences begin to change them. Every person that you see, today, is a product of their good, and bad, experiences. One less bad, or good, experience could cause a person to be totally different. So, we see that aging is not equal to death, but it is equal to change.. A person with a 'temporary' view, on life, is really saying that they are afraid of change. It seems that the reality, of death, does not appear until death claims another victim. Then, and only then, it is too late.
Most people have unfinished business, when they die. Just because one does not fear death, doesn't mean that they are ready to die. There are many thoughts, and assumptions, about death. Because of these thoughts and assumption, one prematurely invites it. When death comes to claim its prize, reality hits. Then, it is too late. Unlearn.

With a reputation for providing the latest in advanced technological therapy
"The revolutionary treatment takes just 30 minutes and provides immediate results," says Infinite Beauty.
HydraFacial MD® Highlights works by combining invigorating spa therapies with advanced medical technology.
The six-step process involves exfoliating the skin and applying a peel before a combination of suction and a special serum are used to clean out pores. Steps include Vortex-Exfoliation™, Vortex-Peel™, and Vortex-Extraction™.
These are followed by Vortex-Boost™, Vortex-Fusion® and what's called 'Extend & Protect'.
Extend & Protect maintains results at home through the use of Daily Essentials™, a simple routine which features the same ingredients used in the initial treatment.
This includes a number of antioxidants, peptides and brightening agents which have been tirelessly researched to improve overall skin health and vitality.
The award-winning system is proven to reduce lines, increase skin hydration, and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and redness. It also immediately combats oily or congested skin and helps to eliminate dark spots or patches.
By employing what's called 'mechanical lymphatic drainage', the HydraFacial MD® Highlights system—which is painless and involves no downtime—allows the skin to breathe, promoting a healthy and radiant appearance.
Further LED light therapy amplifies both the efficacy of the treatment and the immediate result.
Speaking of a recent treatment, one client remarked, "It was both relaxing and therapeutic, and I saw results immediately which was amazing."

As a thirteen year old his family was given opportunity to move to Europe so that he could receive hormone growth treatment. This was in 2000. Lionel Messi has since surpassed the troubles he had as a tiny kid, too short, too frail; a genius in disguise. For those who do not follow football; it is fair to sum up a few things about Lionel Messi. He plays soccer for European League champions, Barcelona. In his last 100 games he has scored 97 goals- which means on average he nets one in every contest.
Last week he scored five goals in a match against German's Leverkusen. This is a record. I am slightly opposed to those who say he is better than Diego Maradona or the great Pele. They are all good and basically are heroes of their circumstances and periods.
Pele won the World Cup three times...(sometimes the criticism that he isn't the best has racist under currents)
Pele once alleged that had he been playing these times he would have scored three goals (hat-trick) in each match since players are more protected with yellow cards, goal kicks and tough rules on the pitch. In 1966 Pele was practically kicked out of the World Cup in London. Despite being constantly fouled Pele scored 92 hat tricks and more than 1,000 goals in his entire career.
Messi has won World Player of the year in last three seasons and a total of 18 trophies for Barcelona. A pleasure to watch- smooth and relaxed like legendary French Algerian, Zidenine Zidane; strong on both feet and in air similar to Pele and a strong skilful dribbler cruising past defenders with ease and stealth akin to Diego Maradona.
Diego Maradona shining in the 1980's...
But what impresses me more is the man's character, his attitude, his personality.
Most professional footballers today are millionaires and (as they say) "filthy" rich. Some are cocky, conceited prima donnas whose wealth has come too soon- young and famous –so they exhibit all symptoms of arrogance. And this is apparent when you watch some of the Olympic athletes too- especially the sprinters. When they win they open their mouths wide, tongue out, yelling and shrieking, thumping their chests ( as if to say I am king and Mr tough guy, all rolled into one)- boxers too. They jump in the air, yell at their fans, gloating and flaunting their victory to everyone. It has become fashionable-winning goals and competitions means thumping chests and sticking tongues out. As though to insist- I am better and don't you dare come near me.
Zidane...my favourite player of all time!
But now and then you see a different type of athlete. An athlete that does not brag- who looks up to the skies to the Almighty One- or kneels down on the ground, kissing mother earth and acknowledges the power of life, glory and divine soil. Sometimes it is a cultural thing. Among African players you see a lot of choreographed dancing and smiling while Muslim and Arab world athletes tend to raise their hands to Allah. The yelling, sticking the tongue out and jumping in the air attitude is mostly Euro-American habit- whether black or white. A body language that means more than a celebration.
And how does Lionel Andrés Messi do it?
Former legends have all heaped praises on the 24 year old Argentinean striker. Gary Lieneker – BBC football pundit and former English forward who never got a red card in his entire career- called Messi a "genius"; French former legend, Eric Cantona said he is "exceptional player" while last week Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola admitted: "We will never see a player like him again."
But it is the words of Germany's former captain and manager, Frank Bakenbauer who also dubbed him a genius "and a gentleman," that helps us conclude the theme of this column today.
Why would such an exceptional genius be a gentleman? Why doesn't he run around yelling, taunting and jumping at the opposing teams? Why is he so cool and calm after dribbling past several defenders and scoring a goal?
Because Lionel Messi is humble and dignified. That is how it used to be in the old days. The best players were laid back, gentlemen who never bragged, showed off or displayed acts of arrogance. They let the work do the talking. There is a saying in Swahili which says ugliness shows off while beauty does not need to sell itself.
Sir Stanley Mathews (above) the English soccer genius who kicked the ball professionally up to 50 years- and continued playing regularly until he reached 70- neither drank nor smoked. In his later years Sir Mathews coached and established an all black team in Soweto during the Apartheid era in South Africa. Like Messi he was also a gentleman- who never got a red card. These are individuals worth emulating and praise in our days of inflatable egos and money grabbing arrogance.

35, was arrested Friday in Las Vegas on suspicion of killing Aramazd Andressian Jr., and has been in custody in Nevada since then.
Los Angeles County authorities on Friday arrested the father of a missing 5-year-old Southern California boy who was the subject of an exhaustive search that stretched into Santa Barbara County. They said they had presented evidence in the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and obtained a murder filing against the suspect.
The boy was last seen two days earlier, when his father and two relatives took him to Disneyland, deputies said.
Andressian's attorney, Daniel Nardoni, has said his client 'is adamant that he never harmed his son Aramazd and is innocent of the charges.' Nardoni did not immediately respond Monday to an emailed request for comment.
"There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the timeline around his disappearance", Andressian wrote in a statement issued almost a week after his son vanished.
Andressian told investigators he believed he was attacked, but he had no memory of the assault.
A law enforcement press conference regarding the arrest of Aramazd Andressian Sr. on suspicion of murder charges is scheduled for Monday.

Lacey said though the child's body has not been found, authorities "examined a number of important pieces of evidence", including Andressian's behavior and actions after his son went missing, that linked him to the child's disappearance.
Police said they reviewed undisclosed evidence, which led to Los Angeles prosecutors charging Andressian.

Sheriff's officials said he had taken prescription pills and the auto was doused with gasoline in an apparent attempt to take his own life. Andressian spent 47 days in Las Vegas after leaving Los Angeles, taking part in activities and "displaying mannerisms that weren't consistent with a grieving parent". He was being held there on $10 million bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The investigators recently noticed some troubling developments on him, for instance, he changed his hair color, shaved off his beard and began making plans to head to a country where he could avoid extradition back to the US. Later warrants were served to search the father's home in South Pasadena, as well as several other family members.

The same day the child was reported missing, Andressian Sr. was found unconscious near his vehicle, which was parked at the Arroyo Seco Park in South Pasadena.

20 X 30 Oval Mirror
Incorporating 20 X 30 Oval Mirror into your decoration may make a huge difference in the total atmosphere of your residence. When used properly, mirrors can add light into a space, and make the illusion of space or simply add yet another decorative part. As you look for your second mirror to purchase, keep in mind how critical things like measurement, form, material, coloring and placement will adjust or improve the expression of your present space.
If you are living in a little house or are searching for a exceptional way to add some personality for your walls, then here's just a tiny trick which is likely to earn a major difference: wall mounted lighting. These elastic parts of wall decor include an awareness of depth and extra visual distance to some room, which is perfect for everybody searching for a cost-effective method to make a room look larger. When you're picking your brand new mirror, whether cosmetic or not, foremost and first consider its general functionality. Can you desire a full size you to nitpick daily outfits, or does one only desire a small wall mirror for more decoration? The placement can impact the measurement conditions as well. Substantial mirrors perform nicely in entry-ways, as they aid symbolize light and give you one last appearance before going outside the door. Livingroom cushions usually are more cosmetic, and are commonly smaller with greater ornate particulars. Bedrooms and cupboards often consist of tall floor mirrors, even while toilets opt for vanity components or drug cabinets.
Even though most function an intention, mirrors would be also great decorative elements. You are able to bunch several around ones with each other to create a piece of artwork, or employ one sunburst-shaped just like a focus for your space. Depending on the primary intention of your 20 X 30 Oval Mirror, you will have few options. If you're getting it to repair your hair and makeup, be sure it's really a considerable size so you can see your whole face and upper torso. If you need one to check out your whole outfit, look for a full size wall mirror that will reveal you from head to toe, however doesn't use any valuable space on the floor. 20 X 30 Oval Mirror can readily be considered a wonderful focal point, whether you want to buy to be fully operational or perhaps not. In the event you prefer to truly use a wall mounted mirror, place the centre of it at around eye level so that you never have to crouch down or leap to have a good look at yourself.

Practical Tools for Extended Scripture Memorization
May 22, 2014 by Larry Lazarus 0 comments
Last week I was challenged by these words from John Piper: "What would your ministry be like, if it were led by folks who memorized whole books of the Bible?" With the question, there was a link to an article written by Jon Bloom titled, Ten Reasons to Memorize Big Chunks of the Bible.
Having memorized the book of Colossians 3-4 years ago, and more recently memorizing Romans 5-8, I can personally bear witness (and I have done so, in this sermon and in this one) to the blessings of Bible memorization, especially memorizing large chunks, and not just an isolated verse here and there.
Recently I have been sensing that it's time to gear up for another season of hiding an entire book of God's Word in my heart, the book of Philippians. I encouraged my Life Group to join me in that endeavor, and that raised some questions on how exactly to go about committing such a large chunk of Scripture to memory. "There's no way I could ever do that…I've got a horrible memory," is a common response to hearing a call to memorizing extended portions of Scripture.
So I thought about my own experience of Scripture memorization, and particularly the practical lessons I have learned from my previous experiences with Colossians and Romans 5-8. I offer them here, in hopes that it might give some of you another little nudge to devote yourself to this precious, but practically challenging discipline of Scripture memory. Here are ten practical lessons I've learned along the way:
1.Be convinced of the value of doing this
The most important "practical" thing I can say about the work of memorizing extended chunks of Scripture is that the main barrier is not a lack of practical tools and strategies. You have to be convinced of the value of having a whole book of Scripture dwelling in your mind and heart, in order to really give yourself to the discipline and work that is involved in actually doing it.
If you start out doing this simply because I am saying it would be good for you to do it, you're probably not going to persevere with it, even if you have all the practical tools available at your disposal. So if you're even thinking about doing this, labor to see why it is so precious and vital. Check out the links to the sermons I posted above (and the Scripture that is referred to in those sermons), or the article by Jon Bloom. Check out this eight-minute audio clip of John Piper commending the value of this discipline.
It takes a lot of time and (grace-driven) effort to commit 2,000 words (roughly the length of Philippians) to memory. You have to want it really badly to invest the time and energy needed to do that. So labor to see that value, and pray that God would give you that kind of heart.
2. Do it with a firm grasp of the gospel
Again, you're probably looking for a little more practical than this (we'll get to that). But if you aren't firmly grasping the gospel, you may very well approach something like this as a way of proving yourself. Maybe you want to prove yourself to God, that you're a good Christian who has so much of the Bible stored up in your heart. Maybe you want to prove yourself to others, wanting to impress them with your discipline and hard work (this has been a temptation of mine over the years, which I have had to kill often). Maybe you want to prove yourself to yourself, that you can really do this.
If you approach the task with this mentality, you may get the book memorized, but your soul will be headed more in the direction of hell than heaven. Good works done for evil motives are evil, and the evil is of a most insidious kind, because it appears so good on the outside. The Pharisees had most of the Old Testament memorized, and Jesus' most scathing words were reserved for them. So watch out for wrong motivations. Embrace with joy that your standing before God, and His Fatherly love, is yours not because of your performance for Him, but because of Jesus' performance of you.
Scripture memorization is not about impressing God, or others with what you can do. It's about positioning your soul before a fountain of grace that you can immerse yourself in all the time, because it can never be taken from you.
3. Be prepared for the long haul
Memorizing a whole book of the Bible is not easy for people who like instant gratification and results. Depending on your pace (see #4), memorizing a book like Philippians will probably take somewhere between 6-12 months. There's something very satisfying about pouring yourself into a work that can't be accomplished overnight. But if you don't settle in your heart that this is going to be a long endeavor that is going to take a lot of time, you're likely to grow weary along the way and give up.
Fight the impulse towards instant gratification; give yourself to this long, slow work, and I can't imagine you will come to the end of it with regret for your time spent.
4. Set a sustainable, realistic pace
Because this is a long-term work, you shouldn't rush in and try to memorize a whole chapter this week, or this month. One of the big reasons people quit is that they try to bite off more than they can initially chew, see that they can't go at the pace they think they ought to, and then conclude that they can't do it. You CAN do it…it just might take more time than you realized.
If you have never memorized chunks of Scripture before, start with an easy, realistic pace. Try one verse per week. "Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons…" That's Philippians 1:1, and with a little intentionality, I believe anyone (unless you're part of the very small percentage of us who suffer from a traumatic brain injury or stroke or disability) can memorize that in a week. Going at that pace (one verse per week), you'll memorize all of Philippians in two years (104 verses = 104 weeks).
My guess is that if you do that for a couple of weeks, you'll find that you can step up to two verses a week, or three. As you begin to train your mind in this way, you'll probably find your capacity for memorization increasing. Whatever your pace might be, I'm just suggesting that you get some clarity on how quickly you think you can do that, so that you don't burn out because of unrealistic expectations.
I aim for one verse every other day, which would put me at a pace to memorize Philippians in approximately 30 weeks. Realistically, I might actually do it quicker than that, because I have a good bit of familiarity with the book already. But I set that pace because I know it is sustainable and realistic for me, even when I'm busy and lethargic.
5. Write, read, recite, repeat
Here is the crux of my answer to the question, "Yes, yes, but HOW do you actually commit the verses to memory? What do you do?" This general approach is outlined by Andy Davis in this short booklet, though I do not follow his suggestion of memorizing the verse numbers (I find them too cumbersome in trying to recite an extended portion of Scripture, either for my own soul or ministering to someone else).
- Write the verse on to a 3x5 index card (I write small enough so I can fill the card, front and back, with several verses, in paragraph form, just the way it would appear in the Bible. That helps me in the task of review, so I don't need to be carrying a stack of cards around with me).
- Read the verse aloud, as if you were speaking it to someone, ten times. Then cover the card, and recite it out loud ten times from memory. If you need to look down at the card for help, that's ok, but try to do it ten times from memory.
- 3-4 times throughout the day (that's why I like to put it on an index card, so I can easily carry it with me), pull the card out and recite the verse once or twice, to cement it in your mind. Again, refer to the card for help if you need to. Don't be discouraged if you had it earlier in the day, but by the end of the day it seems fuzzy (see #8). I find that something clicks while I'm sleeping, and what I stammered through one day seems to be cemented more strongly the next.
- On day two, begin by reciting verse 1 ten times. Then write out verse 2 and follow the steps from above for that verse.
- On day three, begin by reciting verses 1 once, then verse 2 ten times, then write out verse 3 and do it all over again.
- On day four, begin by reciting verses 1-2 together once, then verse 3 ten times, then write out verse 4 and do it all over again.
- Keep going until you're done!
6.Review, review, review
Given the strategy outlined above, it's not hard to see why consistent review is essential. I'm told that if you repeat a verse by memory once a day for 100 days, it will be in your permanent long-term memory (you'll still need to refresh at times, but much less consistently once the verses are so ingrained in your mind. I still have Colossians in my mind, though I don't recite it more than once every couple of months).
To get these verses in your long-term memory, though, will require a lot of review. The most important practical help I can give in how to do this is to determine set times/locations through the day that you will commit to those times of review. If you don't concretely determine WHEN you're going to review, it's not likely to happen, and as you get more and more verses in your mind, reviewing is going to take longer and longer.
You know the rhythms of your life better than I do, but try to identify a time when you will make review a priority. Maybe that's in the shower, or during your commute to/from work or errands, or first thing when you wake up, or last thing before sleep. There are a host of possibilities. But the key is to have a clearly defined time when you will review; otherwise, you won't do it, and the verses will slowly, but surely, escape from your mind.
7.Expect especially fruitful, and especially barren, seasons
Maybe this won't be so for you, but I ought to at least warn you of its possibility. Because memorizing this much takes several months to do, I have inevitably found that there are given weeks where I might have a great passion for this task and get a lot of verses memorized, maybe even more than my anticipated pace. But then you might find a week or two where you seem totally lethargic and unmotivated to review, or learn new verses. I may go through one week where I memorize 10-15 verses, then another week where I don't memorize anything, or just a verse or two.
I don't know of a way to get out of those spells, other than to fight through it. Try to stay faithful with review, and don't get too down on yourself for having your pace slow down. It just happens; at least it does for me. But I think it's good to at least anticipate those dry spells, because if you're unprepared for them, they might compel you to just quit altogether.
8. Fight through "the fog"
When I studied biblical Greek, the textbook warned students about "the fog", which was the idea that you probably will find the material in lesson x to be vague, fuzzy, cloudy in your mind for a week or two, but if you keep persevering it will click. I find a similar dynamic with Scripture memorization. When I memorize a new verse, it typically takes a few days for me to have that verse absolutely nailed, perfectly. I'll stumble over one word, or short phrase. Or I will get it right eight times out of ten, but then those other two I need help from my index card.
Fight through the fog. Don't wait until you have one verse perfectly down before you move on to another verse. Keep reviewing regularly, and the fog will clear.
9. Have the whole book handy
With my Bible software program, I copied and pasted the whole book of Philippians into a Word document and printed it out. By the time you're in chapter 4 of Philippians, you'll have a few dozen index cards, and it's not convenient to have all those around when you're doing review. So as I make my commute to and from work (a 10-15 minute walk), and I do my review, I am holding my 4-page document of Philippians, so that if I get tripped up at some point, or am not certain I just got a particular verse right, I can easily refer to it.
Of course most of you can probably do that with a Bible app on your phone, but I joyfully live in the 20th century in that regard. In any event, the point is that you have the whole book accessible to you, so that you can review consistently once you've reached a point where there's more in your mind than can fit on one or two cards.
10. Do it all prayerfully
Jesus said that apart from Him, we can do nothing. The experience of this kind of helplessness and dependence should drive you to prayer. All the practical tools and strategies are worthless if God does not bless and sustain and energize and empower. So be in constant prayer to Him throughout this labor of love.
Ask Him for help cementing verses in your mind. Praise Him for His Word and all the good that it does in our lives. Ask Him to keep your motives pure, and to fill you with fresh desire. Ask Him to take the words and make you a doer of them, not a mere hearer (or memorizer). Turn the words that you are memorizing directly into prayer (for instance, Philippians 1:1):
"Father, I thank you that Paul lived as a servant of Christ; help me also to have the posture of a servant. I am not my own, so enable me to respond obediently to Your commands, knowing that you are my Lord and King. Paul wrote the book of Philippians and addressed it to all the saints. I thank You that in Christ, I too am a saint, a holy one, and ask that you would help me to live in light of who I am, a holy one…"
Pray, Christians. Apart from Him, we can do nothing!
So I'll close out this (not so) little blog post by praying for you:
Father, I praise you for giving my heart a love for Your Word. I could not create that appetite; You have done it, and I am so grateful. Would You work in your beloved children to increase their appetite for the Scriptures, and if you mean to pour out blessing in their lives through their meditation on and memorization of big chunks of Your Word, would You confirm to them that You are speaking to them, and direct them to the passage or book of Scripture that you have for them, for their joy and Your glory?
Purify their motives, so that they long to experience more of Your grace being more consistently available to them as they hide Your word in their hearts. Grant them perseverance in well-doing, so that as they devote themselves to Bible memorization, You would grant a great harvest of holiness in their lives through Your abiding Word, which creates and sustains life. We cannot live apart from Your Word. Feed us with it, for the sake of Your great name.

It's difficult to settle when you're
I'm tempted to draw the people in the café at the hospital
but you never know what other people might be going through, so
I don't like to intrude by starting to draw them. We've brought
my mum for a routine appointment but I still can't quite relax here.
I draw my cappuccino, starting with the froth before
I allow myself a drink.The bouquets of flowers in the shop briefly
provide a subject before we move on.
The only cluster of forms I can find to focus on amongst the clean
lines of the airy modern atrium is the entrance (left) to
the wards and waiting rooms.
I find it hard to relate all the cornices and angles and this is
my second attempt at the drawing, which went out of proportion on
my first try. That uplighter gives some theatricality to the detail
but I don't have time to make a tonal drawing to show the effect.
The branches of the small tree (right) in
the car park are shapes that I find more natural to draw. While
I'm drawing I think of Ruskin's exercise in Elements of Drawing
in which he suggests that you should draw the tree as if you were
making a definitive legal map of a country in which parcels of land
are divided by tributaries of a great river.
Imagine that if you draw the parcels of land (i.e. the negative
shapes between the branches) even slightly too big or too small
you'll cause a huge amount of legal wrangling amongst the owners
of each plot.

HANA TAM'S LOYAL TO BEING UNIQUE With over 360,000 subscribers and 48 million accumulated views to date, few people have fans as loyal as Hong Kong-based YouTube star Hana Tam, who has been sharing nearly every moment of her well-traveled life since 2006. From candid vlogs of trips abroad to detailed videos of her latest shopping hauls in Seoul and Tokyo, her carefree, one-of-kind spin on life has inspired followers around the world to be comfortable in their own skin. "I can do whatever I want on YouTube. That's why I always film a lot of videos," she says. "I love my job so much because I get to travel and make people happy just by being myself."
In this exclusive interview with DFS, she tells us about the places she's been, the friends she's made, and the joy of being yourself no matter where you are.
What does loyalty mean to you? To me, loyalty is like keeping a promise. It could be to a person, a place or an idea. When I was a child, I did not believe I was particularly good at anything. I was not tall and I was not rich, but I always wished that when I grew up I could see more than other people.
Is that why you love to travel? Yes. Wherever I go, I like to take videos and pictures of the scenery and share them with my friends and followers. That's what I enjoy most when I travel. Each time I press the record or shutter button, I feel a great sense of happiness and accomplishment. Recently, however, I took a very memorable trip to Nagoya in Japan. I rented a car and drove around almost the entire city. For the first time, I put down my camera and used my eyes to capture what I wanted to remember. I didn't need to record anything. All my memories were stored in my heart. It was a very inspiring trip. After I returned to Hong Kong, I wrote more than ten songs.
How would you describe your packing style?
I don't have a knack for packing at all. Every time I open a suitcase, I just throw everything I need into it. There are a few things though that I always keep in a very small bag that I pack for every trip. It carries my daily skin essentials, such as makeup remover, facial cleanser, all-purpose cream, cotton puffs, facial toner and antiperspirant.
What is your beauty regimen like when you're abroad?
I seldom put on makeup when I travel, but makeup remover is always a must-have. Some cities are so polluted that facial cleanser is not enough. You have to use makeup remover first, then cleanse your face afterwards to get all the dirt out.
I also always bring a bar of all-natural soap. You can use it to wash your face, your hair, your body, even your clothes. It especially comes in handy when you've underpacked and run out of clothes to wear during the week.
What else is on your packing list? I like to wear hats when I travel, so it's always the first thing I pack. I think a hat can turn any ordinary outfit extra-ordinary. Next, I pack shoes: flip-flops, a pair of high heels and a pair of sneakers. You need to plan your daily activities before you leave. Choose shoes that are appropriate for your itinerary. I also pack lots of eyewear. I usually carry several pairs of eyeglasses and sunglasses. They can be round-shaped or rectangular-shaped. When you have glasses on, you don't need to put on makeup. It also gives your face character. Finally, I carry a cardigan or scarf in my bag. If it doesn't fit, I wear it around my waist or over my shoulders.
Do you prefer to depart or arrive? Whenever I have a trip planned, I always feel unwilling to leave. But no matter which country I go to, I always enjoy the moment of arrival the most. That's because the moment you arrive is when it first hits you that you have left your comfort zone. Its okay to feel uncomfortable sometimes. It can be good for you. It helps you grow.
Once you've landed at your destination, how do you like to go exploring? I like to go jogging in the morning. When you go jogging, you get to see a lot of things that you may not see when you ride in a car. As you jog, you get to see different things and the local people going about their daily lives. In the evenings, I bring out my guitar and sing about some of the things that I experienced that day. One of the best things about traveling is getting to meet new people. In each country I have been to, I have been fortunate to meet some very nice people. With some of them, I even exchanged telephone numbers and connected with them through Facebook and WhatsApp. It's fun making friends around the world.
Of all the trips you've taken, which has been the most inspiring? Every year, I fly to Kenting to spend a few days on the beach. Why? Because, each April, a large music festival takes place there called Spring Scream. Since the first time I went, it has given me so many great memories that I cannot resist going back. Also, I have a group of friends that I meet there each year. And each year, our group grows. I hope while I'm still young, I will be able to continue meeting my friends there and rock out and be silly with them.

One or two clubs (Bayern, Barcelona) might have slightly more highly rated rosters, but despite that, Chelsea are going to be an incredibly popular selection. FIFA 15 Coins have arguably been the most impressive team in football so far this season, and their array of talent makes them an attractive choice in FIFA. The hot start in the Premier League and their position as title favorites will boost the club's popularity this year, and appealing players like Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas makes this one of the most deadly teams in the game. The player ratings might slightly favor Barcelona, Bayern, or perhaps Manchester City, but Chelsea gets the edge here from us based on form and appeal.
The team shines in the attacking sense, but the club seems to have lost some of its luster. Players returning from injury may very well catapult them back towards the top, though, and the Bavarian club will always remain a common choice. The FUT 15 Coins demo is rumored to begin starting September 9th, and I am hoping that you guys must have marked your calenders already. Moreover, the experience will also be enhanced by several new additions, most notably the heightened player emotions that are to affect the gameplay as well. EA is promising an unmatched authenticity of gameplay this time around with an update to one of their most popular titles, which will be launched in just a few weeks.
