The city of Fort Morgan has taken steps toward demolishing a privately owned building at 120½ West St. that not even the city's building inspector considers safe to enter anymore, let alone someone to live in it.
"Our building inspector has been over there on various occasions, and I think the most recent time refused to actually go into the building because of some of the exterior views that demonstrated some real lack of integrity in the building," City Manager Jeff Wells said.
But when the actual demolition will happen depends on the results of asbestos testing currently in process.
"I would expect we would know something by the end of October," Fort Morgan Public Works/Engineering Director Steve Glammeyer said.
In the meantime, the city is trying to keep people out of that structure, which has been identified as a nuisance.
In fact, concerns over the possibility of people taking up residence or seeking shelter inside this dilapidated building were part of what led the city to the year-long process thus far for getting the building either fixed up or removed, according to Glammeyer.
"Staff has been working for some time to have this dangerous situation abated," he recently told the Fort Morgan City Council. "The building is uninhabitable at this point, and we have had no luck in getting the owner to do anything. Unfortunately at this point we've got no choice. We need to hire a contractor to have it taken care of."
"I think at this point we don't want to delay any longer," Glammeyer said. "It's getting to be winter and I'm afraid somebody's going to get into this place and really get harmed if we don't take care of this as soon as we can."
The city received only one bid on the structure demolition, he said, with Nestor Excavating offering a $7,800 bid but a request for up to $9,700 in case of needing to clean out the structure or abate asbestos.
Councilman Dan Marler was curious about whether the property owner, listed as Soledad Olivas Garcia in city memos, had been paying taxes on the property, since the city had been unable to reach Garcia.
"Taxes get paid, as far as I understand when I looked at this several months ago," City Attorney Jason Meyers said. "But per the code, we have specific notice requirements that we're required to take. We followed the code as required, and ultimately what will happen is this will be a special assessment on the property and it will be collected as part of the property taxes."
Wells said removal of this building was part of what the city was doing to follow council's direction to address "dilapidated" properties that are "bringing down values in the community" and ensure the city would be clean and safe.
"The focus is compliance," he said. "We want them to be compliant with our code, and we work with them."
But that has not been possible with the property owner at 120 ½ West St.
"For the last year, we've been trying to contact this absentee landowner to try and figure out what we can do to fix it," Wells said.
The council unanimously approved the bid, authorizing spending up to $9,700 to have the structure removed, and the cost will then be placed on the property as a lien, as per city code.
Since the council's vote, Nestor Excavating has gotten to work on the project, entering the structure and having subcontractor Andy Darnell test it for asbestos, Glammeyer said.
"We're just hoping there is no asbestos in there," Glammeyer said. "If there is, it's a whole other ball game."
But right now it is a waiting game for the testing results for both the contractor and the city to know what all will truly be necessary to get the structure removed.
"We're just waiting to see what they find," Glammeyer said.
Neighbor's response
Mark Kincaid owns 120 West St., and his house abuts the property with the building that will be torn down. He told the Fort Morgan Times that he was pleased to hear that it will be torn down.
Kincaid said he wrote a letter to the city a while back about the nuisance the neighboring property was creating for him. He was concerned about overgrown weeds, many cats living there and squatters coming and going often.
"There's people breaking in all the time," he said.
That was not always the case, Kincaid said, with the owners having once lived there and taking care of the property and being good neighbors.
But he said that the man who owned the property had died, and his wife was now in a nursing home. As far as he knew, she has a son who lives in North Carolina, but no one had kept up the property for a long time.
"It's been like 10 years since they abandoned it," Kincaid said.

Pu'erh teas certainly have their fans. Some are so die hard they refuse to drink any other type of tea. I'm not sure I could ever agree to give up the luxury of diverse flavor potential. But this coffee flavored pu'erh from David's Tea certainly has some things going for it.

DAVIDsTEA has been growing pretty rapidly these past few years. They're one of the largest brick and mortar retailers of tea in North America. They offer hundreds of teas across a wide variety of cultures and types.
The loose leaves for this Coffee Pu'erh are loose, not caked. They're a dark grey/black and brew the typical dark maroon/bergundy brew with copper edges and hints of honey yellow.
The dry leaf aroma is light and clean with overtones of coffee with creamer or milk and some light sweetener. Once brewed the aroma suggests hints of vanilla and hazelnut.
On the palate DAVIDsTEA's Coffee Pu'erh plays nice. Not too astringent, pucker or strong. The flavor comes through well, but doesn't overshadow the pu'erh itself. I could still taste the gritty earthiness of the brew which was reassuring. Some undertones of chocolate are easy to taste as well.
Upon the second, third and fourth steepings, the undertones turn more heavily toward a mossiness and of darker chocolate than earlier steepings.
Pu'erh teas are a love it or hate it breed for many people. This one I find isn't overly strong in any one area. In fact it's remarkably well balanced and easy to drink regardless of whether you're a tea drinker who enjoys pu'erh or you're a coffee drinker.
Fans of pu'erh teas as well as chocolate flavored teas, keemun teas and coffee may enjoy this blend.

Putting a Comfortable Foot Forward at Your Wedding September 3, 2013
Some say shoes make the woman, but shoes that are uncomfortable very well may break the woman - especially at a wedding. Whether you're the bride or a guest, choosing the wrong shoes could sideline you from dancing or cause pain through the night. A smarter step is to put just as much thought into the shoes you will wear as you will into other parts of your wardrobe.
Unless you don't go anywhere without high heels, your feet may be unaccustomed to them for long durations of time. At a wedding reception, where it's all about mingling and dancing, comfort should be considered just as much as style.
That doesn't mean you have to forgo an attractive shoe to be comfortable. It's possible to have the best of both worlds. Here are some options:
* Wedge heels: Unlike other types of heels that put the brunt of the pressure on the ball of the foot, wedge heels distribute body weight evenly throughout the foot. Therefore, you might find these are some of the most comfortable types of heels around. Designers make them in all styles, including more formal versions perfect for weddings and other special events.
* Ballet flats: Ballet flats, once made famous by style icon Audrey Hepburn, can be worn with skirts or slacks. Their low profile helps keep feet comfortable, and they may be completely flat or have a tiny heel. Embellished with bows, flowers, or ribbons, these shoes will dress up any outfit.
* Sandals: Particularly for warm-weather events, sandals can be quite comfortable and fashionable. Giving a peek of toe and ankle can be just as alluring as stilettos, but without the pain.
* Flip-flops: Many brides choose to don flip-flops under their gowns simply because they can be so comfortable. Flip-flops needn't be the run-of-the-mill rubber kind found in the discount bin; they can be dressed up to match your gown or purchased with gemstones and other decorations already attached.
For those who prefer heels for photo ops and looking fabulous, consider bringing along a change of shoes just in case foot pain flares up later in the evening.

The Secret is the twenty-second episode of season one of The Amazing World of Gumball.
Gumball and Darwin somehow get locked in the bathroom together. Believing they will be spending the rest of their lives there, Gumball tells Darwin a secret he has been keeping for a while - he was the one who had drawn a creepy picture in Darwin's schoolbook, causing Darwin to receive a counseling session over the summer. After a moment of anger, Darwin starts to tell Gumball of a secret that he has been keeping. Before he can say what it is, Rocky opens the door and lets them out, explaining that he thought they were the ghosts of school girls haunting the bathroom. Gumball and Darwin cheer at their liberation, but as they walk away, Gumball becomes curious as to what Darwin's secret is. Darwin refuses to tell. When they get home, they play the fighting video game. Gumball asks again for the secret, but Darwin still won't tell. Gumball, becoming more and more frustrated over Darwin's secret, begins mashing buttons really quickly out of anger. He beats Darwin's character violently, mashing him to dust with a big, wooden hammer as Darwin looks on in shock.
Later, Gumball prepares a meal for Darwin. Darwin warily eats it, believing it to be a ploy by Gumball to get his secret. He's right - Gumball made the food extremely spicy, and made all liquids inaccessible to Darwin, except for one glass of milk that he uses to taunt Darwin. Darwin chases after Gumball, desperately trying to grab the glass of milk, but Gumball simply and gracefully dodges his dives. Eventually, he is reduced to crawling. Right when he gets into grabbing range, Gumball sets it farther, and Darwin finally passes out, a flame portruding from his mouth. Gumball, feeling guilty, douses the flame with the milk, and Darwin jumps up and thanks him. Gumball grudgingly acknowledging it.
Gumball's next plan is to pretend to be a recorded message for Darwin. Using a pay phone, he calls the house. Richard answers the phone, and summons Darwin when he learns the message is for him. Gumball convinces Darwin that he has won a prize, but to claim it, he needs to tell his secret. The prize is vouchers for a beauty spa. While Richard is ecstatic, Darwin is not pleased. At this point, Gumball's phone time is almost up, and he has run out of quarters. He tells Darwin to hurry up. Darwin begins to ask for more spa details, but Gumball interrupts him with a loud "GIVE ME THE ANSWER!". Right before Darwin tells him the secret, his phone time runs out, causing Gumball to rage.
Gumball then tries reading Darwin's mind to figure out his secret. By doing so, he tries to focus on Darwin who is drawing a picture of something. When Gumball's face stretches all the way toward Darwin, Darwin wonders if Gumball's trying to read his mind. Gumball asks if Darwin was thinking that Gumball's face hurts from his attempt. Darwin says he isn't, and Gumball decides he wasn't trying to read his mind and lets his face relax after a sad attempt with his face giving out after that.
That night, Darwin dreams about himself swimming in the ocean. He hears a crying shrimp, and goes to him, asking him if he was alright. The shrimp claims he's sad because his friend won't tell him his secret. Darwin tells him that even best friends have secrets. The shrimp asks Darwin if he has a secret, and if he does, he should tell him, so he would feel better. Darwin refuses, but the shrimp just begs him to. The dream then becomes a nightmare, as all the sea creatures (including a catfish, who lives in fresh water) come out, and ask Darwin for his secret. Darwin wakes up, only to see Gumball begging Darwin to tell him his secret. When Gumball finds Darwin awake, he pretends to rub Darwin's fishbowl to help him sleep.
The next morning Anais claims to know Darwin's secret, and Gumball persists to get it out of her by poking at her head all day and on the bus ride to school. Anais threatens Gumball not to poke her again, but he does it anyway, causing him to get beat up. At school, Gumball acts as if he knows the secret to cleverly get it out of Darwin, however, Darwin says he'd only tell the secret in a life or death situation.
Gumball locks him and Darwin in the boys bathroom to get the secret out of him. Darwin says that the secret was the sandwich Gumball made for him wasn't great, it was only good. Shocked and angered, Gumball throws a fit at Darwin, since he expected the secret to be something less trivial. The only way out of the bathroom was through the sewers, which Gumball obviously didn't approve of. Soon enough, after minutes of swimming through sewage, arguing over the whole buildup to the secret, and ending up as a bottle of water at the water purification plant, Gumball and Darwin get home, coming up from the toilet in the bathroom, scaring Richard who was washing his hands and wonders if he ate them. They say he didn't and they were just trapped in the sewers, relieving Richard.
Darwin leaves the bathroom, letting Gumball take a shower, Anais asks Darwin if he told the real secret. Darwin says "No, he must never know that we accidentally uploaded that clip.". The video, is Gumball doing a hip hop dance and failing miserably as he destroys his whole room in the process. The video is shown to be a major hit because of the high amount of views it has received.

- The picture of Darwin and Gumball on the Stomach Destroyer in The Dress is hung on the wall beside the bathroom door.
- Darwin/Anais' username for the website where they posted "Hip Flop" is : hadrianosaurs59.
- The scene where Gumball and Darwin are playing a video game has become a meme on YouTube.
- The game that they play is changed to a real video game. It is often titled "Gumball and Darwin play (insert game's name here)".
- The scene when Mr. Small and Miss Simian see Darwin's creepy drawing, could be a reference to a similar scene in The Butterfly Effect.
Cultural referencesEdit
- The "Hip Flop" video is a parody of the internet video "Webcam Dance Failure."
- In "Kebab Fighter", the video game, when one character loses all of his HP, the game says "END IT!", an obvious parody of Mortal Kombat's "FINISH HIM!".
- Gumball is a Soft, Danny appears on a shirt TV series Danny Phantom.

Palestinian president to visit Ireland next weekend

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is to visit Ireland next weekend, the Department of Foreign Affairs has said.
Mr Abbas has accepted an invitation extended to him by Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney when the pair met in Ramallah in January.
He and a Palestinian delegation will stop in Ireland on their way to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Mr Abbas is scheduled to make a courtesy visit to President Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin and to meet Mr Coveney at Farmleigh across the Phoenix Park.
"Among the topics expected to be discussed are the humanitarian and security situation in Gaza and the West Bank; the funding crisis for UNRWA, the UN agency providing food, education and health services in Gaza; and the future of the Middle East Peace Process," the department said.
When the two met in January, Mr Coveney reaffirmed Ireland's support for Jerusalem being recognised as the future capital of Palestine, telling Mr Abbas that he thought the Trump administration's decision to recognise the city as the capital of Israel was a bad move for Middle East peace.
The Tánaiste reiterated the Government's support for the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: to set up an independent Palestinian state side by side with Israel.

Some slight changes to my website/
You'll notice some minor changes on this site. First of all, "About" and "Blog" in the top navigation menu have moved to a drop-down on the "Music" tab, in a similar layout that I have for my "Gaming" tab. I'll also be adding an "FAQ" page and include a table on the "about" page to list all my PC specs as well as equipment and software I use in relation to my music, just like I have on my gaming page.
I've decided to simplify things for new visitors who are looking for information specifically for music or gaming. You'll also notice that "Other Projects" is gone. The links and pages still exist, but they will be moved elsewhere to a single location. All the projects from that list are no longer active (aside from YouTube Cover Songs) so I didn't really want to put a huge focus on them.
The other big thing is the fixed video background on my home page. SquareSpace (which hosts this website) added that functionality recently which makes it easier to promote new videos. Previously, I was using a third party option to emulate that feature but it was causing problems loading and did not work well with mobile. This update should fix all that.
I'm looking into more ways to improve my website so it can be the perfect one-stop page for fans to check out new content I release so if you have suggestions or notice any issues I should be aware of, let me know!

Nike is allegedly offering Real Madrid an annual sum of €120-m to switch their allegiance from adidas, reports Spanish newspaper Okdiario. According to the newspaper the club's current contract with adidas, worth €45-m per year, runs until 2020, and the German brand has already made a new offer to retain the lucrative kit deal.

They also report that the new FC Bayern-adidas kit sponsorship, which runs to 2030, is worth €60-m, slightly more than the €59-m New Balance is paying FC Liverpool until 2019.

Horse for the Course – Congrats Tiger
March 25, 2013
Nice win, Tiger. But seriously?
77 PGA Tour wins? 8 times at Bay Hill alone? 8?
That's an insane PGA Tour CAREER for most players, but you had to do it on one course.
That's about all we need to say.
Good job holding off Rickie, if he was even in your rear view. That orange is pretty distracting.
Oh, you should probably try the new R1 before Augusta. 14 fairways. Think about it.
TSA Comes Through For Traveling Golfers!
March 6, 2013
How many times have you checked in your golf clubs with an airline due to the enticement of vacation golf? Now, how many times have you received your clubs only to find your precious Scotty Cameron to have a new idiot mark on it that you didn't put there? JK and I have had that experience all too often. In fact, JK used to carry a special travel putter just so his gamer wouldn't get nicked by TSA.
Well, JK, TSA now agrees with us that this is ridiculous. Beginning April 25, passengers on U.S. flights will be allowed to carry on — among other things — up to two golf clubs. This marks a huge win for reticent golfer who would have rather rented "clubs" at the course than check or ship his own. There are obviously 12 more reasons to keep fighting, but for now, we have two reasons to be very excited. Also, please be advised, this rule does not appear to apply to international flights. Those of you traveling abroad for your golf will still have to check the Big Dog and Lola.
I am also particularly excited because TSA will now allow me to to carry on include pool cues! If you think golfers are anal about their equipment, go talk to a pool junkie. Also, for you knife enthusiasts, you can carry on a retractable blades shorter than 6 centimeters (2.36 inches) and narrower than 1/2 inch. Why the two different metrics, you ask? I guess TSA really just wants to use both sides of that ruler. Enjoy!
Apologies and Moving Forward
March 5, 2013
Dear Readership,
We apologize for our months long delay in posting. We have had numerous personal and professional issues between the two of us that have prevented us from being as active as we would like to be with the PF. Whether it was traveling more weeks than not or changing jobs, we have simply not had the time to commit to the blog that we would like. Like our friend Rory, we have not been in the best place mentally to give the PF our best. But like Rory, we recommit to providing you with course reviews, equipment reviews, and technical know-how to improve your own game and golf experience. Please stay tuned for new reviews and tips!
Thanks for sticking with us.

Before we dive into my lashes, which I can't stop talking about, let's answer the Lipstick League Question of the Week!
Question of the Week: Have you ever bought a beauty product solely for the packaging?
I probably can't count the number of pop up Too Faced and Stila palettes I've purchased because they're precious. And I'm probably guilty of one or two Armani lippies along the way because of how sleek and heavy they feel when you hold them. But that was then and this is now. Well-designed, earth-friendly, sleek and stylish packaging is my favorite right now. I think Ittse is doing a really nice job with this.
I received a new mascara last week and I can't believe how long it's making my lashes. You remember my lashes, right? Paltry, tiny, short, squat, invisible? Here's a photo to remind you. (AND I THOUGHT THEY LOOKED GREAT THEN.) Now check out how they look, below!
Is that a crazy before and after or what? Stop what you're doing and add Divaderme's Fiber Wings II Mascara into your mascara mix. I am getting the longest lashes ever and unless you try to twirl them, they aren't crumbling by 8pm. I'm starting with my own mascara (I used the new L'OREAL Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara in the photo above) and added Divaderme on top.
You also need to check out the new Pixi by Petra GelTint and SilkGloss. These long wearing, hydrating glossy tints are perfect for the days of summer. I'm wearing Berry Tint above.
Need a new foundation and wondering what's new? Feed your skin while you get a hydrating and light feeling, yet full coverage foundation with CoverGirl's Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation. I'm super impressed with how this looks and wears...and I love that it's not overly dewy!
Finally, just in case you've missed it, YBF Skincare is having a half-off sale! I'm so impressed with how smooth the Eye Corrector makes my eyes appear - even when I'm smiling! (I'm wearing it above and the results are intense.) Use code Friend50 at checkout. Check out this post for all of the details! If you missed the sale this weekend, don't worry. It's back next weekend, too!

Hello! We're back from Florida and we miss it already! :) Although this winter has been very mild here, we still would rather be in the 70 and 80 degrees in Florida. So nice! We also loved not going to work. ha! Anyway, we're back and I'm back to crafting. I made this card for my nephew's birthday. We have lots of February birthdays.
I used the stars from an older Hero Arts set and the new newspaper owl stamp. Love him. :)
Hope you're having a great week and you have a wonderful weekend! Superbowl is in Indianapolis this year so traffic has been crazy around here this week!

Storing data in data lakes and silos is so 2008. To compete in today's economy, organizations must unify their data and then analyze it for intelligence and advantage. For that, there's data hub.
A data hub is a modern, data-centric architecture for storage – powering analytics and AI by enabling enterprises to consolidate and share data in today's data-first world. Unlike data lake and legacy DAS architectures engineered primarily to store data, a data hub is designed to share data.
Eliminate infrastructure complexities with a single data platform built to move at the speed of your data.
Drive intelligence by putting all of your data to work. In business today, shared data is far more valuable than stored data.
Push the limits of your data with storage built to serve data concurrently, and forget legacy silos built only to store data.
"Enterprises in every industry are working to build their future with AI. The data hub architecture will assist customers in modernizing their storage infrastructure to maximize the compute power required for AI."
"If we had to start over, we would have started with Pure Storage instead of our other vendors."
"I cannot stress enough the stability, speed, and awesome deduplication and compression rates."
A data hub takes the key strengths of the four analytics silos – data warehouse, data lake, streaming analytics, and AI clusters – and integrates them into a single, unified platform. Any true data hub must have these four features.
Backup and data warehouse apps need high throughput to speed queries and analytics.
Data lake redefined as scale-out infrastructure, enabling applications to run at any scale.
Streaming analytics requires storage to drive any data, small or large, with any I/O pattern.
AI clusters, with 1000s of cores and GPUs, need storage to be massively parallel as well.
The contrast between a data lake and a data hub is profound. A data lake is designed to store data. A data hub is designed to share and deliver data. The former is engineered with legacy DAS-based technologies. The latter is a modern system based on an all-flash, cloud-like architecture. Data is today's challenge; a data hub is today's solution.
FlashBlade is one of the most advanced scale-out storage solutions ever built. It's a true data hub driven by a ground-breaking software engine – Purity//FB – built from the ground-up to bring the power of all-flash at every layer of software.
Data is the fuel enabling data scientists and engineers to deliver on the new possibilities of analytics and AI. But the storage industry's legacy architectures have inhibited progress. A data hub is here to finally break through those data silo barriers.
What if all your analytics applications could run on a single data platform capable of delivering real-time performance? It's now possible – with a data hub. Watch as we index and analyze a Twitter feed using industry tools like Solr, Hadoop, and Spark. We then showcase the power of a data hub by applying AI to detect objects using the same dataset.
"FlashBlade functions as a dynamic data hub, built to support all types of data loads, and that is exactly what we need to meet client demands."
"A 10x-20x improvement in performance can be a game-changer when it comes to creating a time-to-market competitive advantage for us."
"Data Hub is the vision for a new storage architecture designed for this evolution, purpose-built to power the next generation of AI products."
Welcome to Pure Storage!

Ephemeral Fantasia is similar to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask in that the story transpires over a constantly looping period of five days. This is caused by a time loop created by the main antagonist, Xelpherpolis. In order for the time loop to be halted, Mouse must travel through the same five days multiple times.
This game follows Mouse, who has appeared in other games previously with the characters Pattimo, Beak and Fang. Xelpherpolis invites Mouse to play at his wedding, no doubt because of the fame he has acquired on his travels in previous adventures. Of course, Xelpherpolis doesn't expect him to solve the mystery of the island and free its inhabitants.

The Jungle Just Got Hotter!
The female population FINALLY got to witness what I can only describe as the perfect male form last night in ITV's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
For the past week, the male viewing audience have been indulged in many camera shots of Emily Scott and Jessica-Jane, parading around the jungle in little more than a skimpy bikini.
I am sure I wasn't the only female in Britain tonight who stopped what she was doing on the promise of the jungle hunk Mark Wright, from The Only Way is Essex undertaking a trial in just his shoes and trainers. I thanked the makers of the show several times while the female audience received an indulgence of fifteen minutes of dribbling over his perfect torso, toned, muscular arms and his sheer manly strength.
Then, when the trial was over we were in for another treat as we witnessed him washing off the meal-worms, cockroaches and other jungle critters that were thrown on him during his trial.
And, the treats for the women kept coming as the camera continued to film him getting out of the lake and having a naked backside on screen for us all to view. God bless Sky Plus, were my words to myself.
He may not be the sharpest tool in the box, but my feelings are that this show was definitely a great career move for him. I have no doubt that the TV show offers will be lined up for him when he returns to Essex.
He is coming across as such a nice bloke, he has never moaned or got into arguments with any of the other jungle mates. I like those qualities about him, and I will be voting for him in the final.
I am just hoping that the spark that is lighting between Mark and Emily Scott is not just a ploy to keep them both in the jungle.
I just wonder what Lauren is making of his new-found celebrity status which is more widespread than Essex.

As a follower of Christ, battle is inevitable.
We can't go into battle unarmed.For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and ever high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (Carnal: translated from the Greek word sarkikos, which literally means "fleshly")
We have to know who we're battling.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
Most importantly, we have to obey our Commander.
We are commanded to STAND,
while we use our armor and our weapon of prayer.
Ephesians 6:13-18
This battle can't be fought with worldly understanding. Although we are in the battle, we don't do the actual fighting.
God reassures us that He is in control.Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's
2 Chronicles 20:15b
Right after that He tells Jehoshaphat to "go ye down against them," and goes on to say...
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, not be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
2 Chronicles 20:17
Again, we see the command to STAND. We also see two more weapons for our use in battle.
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
2 Chronicles 20:18-19
What "great multitude" is coming strongly against you? Is the Lord instructing you to STAND FIRM in a battle today? Is the enemy attacking your mind? Does it feel like he is winning the battle by getting you to walk in the flesh and not in the Spirit?
Use your weapons: PRAYER, WORSHIP and PRAISE.
They activate the power of God to work on your behalf. (Continue reading 2 Chronicles 20, below, to see how).
Thank God, He did not leave us powerless in the battle against the enemy! Your Prayer, your Worship and your Praise in the midst of any trial will disrupt, cripple and destroy Satan's plans toward you. Satan's whole plan was to get Job to curse God.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 1:11
All these years later, his plan is the same for you.
Just remember, He is already defeated.
2 Chronicles 20
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.s
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.sss23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.s24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.s25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.s27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.s28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

Fairfield American LL rolls with big win
ORANGE -- It's becoming acceptable to call Fairfield American's Little League 12-year-old all-star team "the cardiac kids." American rallied from four different deficits, capped by Jack Oricoli's three-run, game-ending home run, to a 10-7 win over East Haven in the Section 1 tournament opener at Henry Roche Field.
Oricoli's homer punctuated a five-run sixth inning for Fairfield American.
Brendan Flynn got the win with 3 1/3 innings of relief of Oricoli, allowing three earned runs. American won the game in its last at-bat for the second straight contest, and recorded its third come-from-behind victory in its last four games.
"We keep coming from behind because we have heart," Fairfield coach Kevin Flynn said. "We've been there before and we know we're going to hit." American plays again on Saturday against North Stamford at 3:30 p.m.
Fairfield's Eddie Schwartz had three hits, including the game-tying home run, a two-run moon shot to left field that squared the score at seven as American was just two outs from defeat.
"I was looking for a pitch to drive," Schwartz said. "It felt pretty good."
"He has that kind of power," Flynn said.
Grant Carnemark then reached on an error. East Haven walked Flynn intentionally and Oricoli smoked his second homer of the game over the center-field fence to clinch the game for Fairfield.
"That one was deeper than the first one," Flynn said.
That first home run for Oricoli, off the scoreboard in right center, put American on the board 1-0.
In the top of the third, East Haven scored four runs -- all unearned with two outs -- to knock Oricoli from the mound and take a 4-1 lead.
American rallied for three in the bottom half, keyed by Carnemark's RBI double, to cut East Haven's lead to 4-2. Brendan Flynn's two-run single tied the game at 4.
"We're a strong-hearted team," Schwartz said.
But East Haven took the lead again with two runs in the fourth for a 6-4 lead. American trailed 7-5 in the top of the sixth when East Haven delivered a two-out RBI single.
"This was a tough game," Flynn said. "They threw some tough pitching at us."
Sectional records: East Haven 0-1, American 1-0
Batteries: EH-Mike Mancuso, Steve Cochrane (L) and Sammy Loda; FA-Jack Oricoli, Brendan Flynn (W) and Aidan Kudzy. Home runs: FA: Oricoli 2, Eddie Schwartz.

Hey Ian & Larissa,
I just read Romans 8:6 this morning, "the mind controlled by the Spirit is life & peace". I pray that God would breath in LIFE not only to your mind but to each muscle & joint & cell in your body as you do the hard work in your PT sessions. And I pray that both of your minds would be full of God's enduring peace today.
love both of you!

Still praying!
I don't have all your physical challenges but my energy was low and they found out I hardly had any vitamin D in my body. The doc. put me on 50,000 units of D2 weekly and within three months my blood work came back normal and I was feeling tons better. Don't know if this is any small piece of the larger puzzle for you....just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks for sharing and we will keep praying for you and your entire family.

Almost anyone will tell you that a successful website is all about design, design, design. Website design is quite complex and new elements should always be taken into consideration, which makes it hard for a designer to create a good website, and keep it interesting. That's why this article is here! This article provides insight on several components of website development.
If you want your website to attract many visitors, it must be simple to navigate. Ensure that links are visible and displayed in prominent locations. Good menus make navigating your site much easier. To help visitors find their way back, be sure to have a visible link to the main page on all your pages.
Regardless of your target audience or what type of site you have, try to keep your loading time under ten seconds. Sites that are well-made and efficient will open in a browser in moments. Most online users crave instant gratification, so your success relies on providing it.
Before publishing your website, check it over carefully for any broken links. A visitor will get very annoyed when they click on a link that takes them to either a blank page or one that gives them an error. You can also check the links yourself or use a program to look.
Research your keywords. First and foremost, pay attention to content that keeps your customers up-to-date. But, you also need to think about how to gain customers. To make sure that people find your website more easily, you'll need to learn what keywords are and how to use them effectively.
Make sure to preserve personal information that may need to be entered again by the same user of your website. For instance, if someone filled in their name and address when creating an account, pre-populate this information when the customer fills out an order form. "Sticky" data will ensure that the user fills out all the forms they need to instead of leaving when it becomes too difficult.
If you want your website to be more attractive, consider adding your own pictures. Pictures on your website can provide a friendlier approach to visitors. People will look at your website longer and more often if you include high quality, original images.
Keep your topics separated. Each topic should be put on separate pages. This will lessen the confusion some customers may experience, while it gives search engines a much broader view of your website, which could raise your rankings.
Know your subject. For example, if you are creating a blog, don't post without doing your research. Being unclear with customers or giving false information will drive readers away. Knowing your subject is important when making a good blog.
Whatever your design is like aesthetically, be sure all your files are small. The smaller the size of each of your files, the quicker your pages will load. Of course, having your website load quickly is the best scenario for visitors. Bear in mind that some site visitors are still using dial-up. You want to perform a test to make sure your site performs well, even with dial-up modem connections.
Is the content on your site fun and interesting? Although the overall look of your site is important, it is the content that keeps them coming back for more. Visitors will come back over and over when you provide content that is of value to them.
In your website design, keep in mind that web browsers are more friendly to websites that have independent CSS pages and provide conditional loading. Doing this will make it easier to test and maintain your website. All websites will have to be maintained, and this will help make it easier to change things.
It's hard to go wrong with a simple color like white for the background of your website. White backgrounds not only make the text easy to read, but also make your site appear more professional, as white is the standard background color for corporate sites. Complex backgrounds distract your readers and visitors, and might slant your page towards an unprofessional image. Simple is almost always the best option for background.
Make your fonts professional and readable. A site's look can hinge on whether or not it's fonts are professional. Do not employ exotic fonts that will be absent from many visitors' computers or over-used fonts such as Comic Sans. Unique fonts tend to default on most user's computers if it's not available to them. Your site can look bad when this happens.
Internet Explorer
Always proofread any information you put up on your website. The goal is to have people go through the information with ease. If there are errors, most readers will see your site as unprofessional and will not take you seriously.
Make sure you site is optimized for previous versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, especially IE 7 and 8. Most people do not like Internet Explorer, but others still use it. They don't offer a lot of elements that comply with basic web standard, so customizations may be in order. An example would be the vexing "box model bug" which troubled IE for quite some time.
Make sure you think about your target audience when designing your site. Create a poll or questionnaire to find out what they need from your page. You can use this to help with your site's design and to put features on it. Getting input about your readers' interests is essential to a useful site.
Basic design tools will get you started on your website, but you will want to add some custom options. Make your site as personal as possible by tweaking or adding more features to the generic website you can create via the tools offered by your hosting service.
Offer a sitewide search option at the top of every page. The simple, speedy access this capability gives to visitors will put the information they're looking for at their fingertips, and make the site highly user-friendly. It is pretty simple to put a site search in place. The time spent will be well worth it.
Even if you invest large amounts of money in your website, it's not a good idea to host a site yourself. Do as much of the design yourself as possible, but if you hire someone to host it for you, you won't have to worry about basic security.
Do not feel as though you must design every portion of your site yourself. Web design incorporates many different skill sets, from graphic designing to coding to search engine optimization. You should not feel ashamed to get help in the areas you feel least comfortable. You can always hire some company or other professional who specializes in a certain area you aren't very familiar with.
Spend some time and money on books that will assist you in learning web page design. Stick to books for beginning web designers until you've mastered the basics, so that you won't miss anything you need to know as you study web design.
This helps with your design process, since you learn as you work. As soon as you figure one aspect of site design out, you should attempt to tackle another. Although this can slow the process of building your site, you'll receive the information that is needed to spit out dozens of sites as you learn.
Graphics can go a long way towards livening up a boring website. Make your website less boring by wrapping text around your added graphics. Your visitors will stay longer and return more often if your content has visual appeal.
You need to always make a visual sitemap in order to more accurately plan ahead. With the visual sitemap, you'll be able to see how your site structure is developing. The sitemap lets you quickly identify any problems or weaknesses that need to be improved upon or repaired. Having a visual representation is key to designing a website.
You will gain expertise in design much more quickly if you dedicate the time to learn something new at every step. After you conquer one skill in website creation, move on to the next one. This may make designing your first website a chore, but once you understand the fundamentals, designing subsequent sites will be easy.
Keep up with your website's statistics when you do updates in order to know how appealing the page is. You will have access to you who visits your site as well as which individual pages they frequent and spend time on. Then you will know what materials you should add to get them to come back.
Your search bar should be somewhere around the top of your page layout and should have the capacity to hold 27 visible characters. The button that puts the search query into the system should be labeled "search", rather than "submit" or "okay." These things will cause your search box to be easily seen and it will help the visitors on your site to find the things they are searching for.
Make sure everyone can access your site. You need to have the content check by users on different device and from different countries. Some content may not be displayed the same in other countries, so this is something you may want to check on.
The site's interface tools should be user friendly and consistent. Keep all underlined text clickable and allow for a change of color of links already clicked. Friendly, consistent sites keep visitors coming back for more.
If you have a search text box on your website, allow at least 30 characters to be visible. Be certain that the search button itself does not say "go" or "submit"; it should say "search". These measures will ensure that your search bar is clearly visible and is indeed a field for visitors to submit a search for the information they are seeking.
Glean inspiration for your website from unusual sources. You can find inspiration in everything from art projects to magazines and TV. Remain on the lookout for new ideas that will inspire you to add unique features to your site that visitors will find enjoyable and helpful.
Eliminate Flash from your site and look for an alternative. Flash may look exciting, but it doesn't function properly on all types of computers. Also, phones, IPads and other handheld devices may not be able to view Flash applications. This could make your site less enjoyable for these users to view, and they might decide not to bother with it.
If you want to target people around your area with a website, think about getting a top level domain with a country code. This can guarantee the domain name is just for a particular region in the country. A ccTLD is just what you need to direct regional visitors towards your website.
You definitely want to learn about CSS or cascading style sheets. HTML is important, but CSS is where real design happens. These style sheets act as a formatting reference guide to your site to help each page maintain a consistent look and feel. This also allows you to easily change stuff on your site. If you need to change a font color, for example, you'll only need to change a single line of code.
Look at domain name auction sites to see if the one you want is for sale. There you can discover great domain names that others are no longer using and buy them.
Free stock images are great for creating a website. The Internet has many of these images; typically, they are just as good as those that cost money. The money you save in images can be put toward other parts of your business.
The logo you use for your site can make a huge difference. You need to ensure that it properly expresses your site and how you differ from any competitors. If you need help designing a good logo, consult a professional.
Look at other pages for inspiration so you can build a great website. Use other sites to get things you like and avoid the things you dislike so that your website is better than the others.
One of the most important things you can do to keep your site functional is to ensure that all links are working properly. A good website is always designed with the user in mind, but if you have link errors, or broken links, it will drive your visitors crazy. Schedule regular inspections of your links, and repair the broken ones.
Draw up plans that detail exactly how you want your webpages to look like to your visitors. Ask friends and family for honest critiques of your drafts so that you get an idea on what direction to take.
Having the right website creation is crucial. However, it is easy to be overwhelmed with the huge amount of ever-changing information that abounds about website design. You have come to the right place, for this article serves as a basic introduction to website development and gives you some pointers to help get you started. Take these tips to heart to make your current site better or to develop a terrific new one.
For every page you design, make sure you validate it. WYSIWYG editors often add a bunch of garbage code throughout your page, cluttering your HTML and slowing your load times. You'll need to go ahead and have your code validated by a service if you're going to use these applications. Validating your code is an important step in web design, but be sure to use a good service.
