What food souvenirs have you brought back from your holiday?
There's only one foolproof way of eeking the maximum out of a treasured and transient summer holiday: bring back the maximum stash of foodie-centric souvenirs from your holidays and revel in cooking with them. It's the perfect excuse for re-living the culinary highlights of your hols.
Almonds for every course?
A word of caution though: many years ago, after an idyllic holiday in Majorca, I was completely besotted by the infinite versatility of cooking with almonds. So I decided to throw a dinner party serving Majorcan almonds for every course: white almond and garlic gazpacho; chicken with tomato and almond sauce; almond and orange cake with almond ice cream. I thought it was a triumph, my guests decided I was obsessive, got bored by almonds starring throughout the dinner and have teased me ever since.
Lucques olives from Provence
So as with most things in life, moderation is all. My haul this year has included fantastic, thick, plump anchovies from Collioure in South West France that are so delicious it is a shame to cook them. Instead, I've draped them over devilled eggs, added them to salade niçoise or buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad, and served them pincho-style on cocktail sticks with some equally wonderful provençal lucques olives and a chilled glass of rosé.
From Gouda in The Netherlands, I brought home a mini-round of aged Gouda cheese with a robust earthiness unlike anything I've bought in the UK and great waffle biscuits. I'm greedily anticipating my trip to Parma for their annual Festival del Prosciutto di Parma and will be sure to take a suitcase ample enough to bring back an outrageously large hunk of two-year-old Parmigiano Reggiano and (vacuum-packed) sweet, nutty Parma ham for serving with extravagant abandon.
An absolute must from Spain is saffron, always strands and never powder (which is frankly of horribly inferior quality). Look for saffron of consistent colour throughout in a sealed box: the best will be labelled from La Mancha. It has infinite uses beyond paella and is fantastic in custard, ice cream and shortbread.
Spices are the best, safest (and most compact) way of recapturing what's quintessential about many holiday destinations. From Morocco return with ras-el-hanout, which translates as "top of the shop". It's a mixture of the very best spices - always including cardamom, cumin, coriander, chilli and up to fifty or more other spices. Watch where locals are buying from and don't be embarrassed to sniff it to ensure it is aromatic - and be wary of anything too cheap. Elsewhere Baharat from Turkey (made with allspice, cardamom, cassia bark, cumin and dried chilli) is great for rubbing into lamb or chicken.
Unusual condiments travel well too. Kaya, a kind of coconut jam, from Singapore is great on pancakes with fruit and maple syrup. Although dulce con leche from Mexico is increasingly available in the UK, it's always pleasing to have something more authentic.
Whether you've opted for a staycation this year, or you've been jetting off around the world all summer, what's the most exciting treat you've sampled from your travels, or indeed your colleagues' or friends' travels? Is there anything you regret bringing back?

We always try to bring back something to eat (or, more usually, to drink) from our holidays. Regulars are Ouzo and vacuum packed olives from the Greek Islands, Kirsch and chocolate from Switzerland and of course, cheese from France. The nicest thing I ever brought back from France was some tapenade I bought at an olive festival in Mouries, Provence. It was so good. This year we brought back Limoncello from the Amalfi Coast which is really delicious and must be up there with my favourites! I've never brought back anything I didn't want as I would have sampled it before buying it to take home.

This year we went to Spain and brought back four tins of pimenton (two sweet, two hot); a big jar of saffron; some squid ink; the spice mix for Andalusian pinchos (kebabs) and a range of dried peppers. I've no idea what we're going to do with the squid ink but I've never seen it before and had to have it.

I used to love bringing back spices and food from abroad. Nothing better than strolling over a north african market and being able to buy spices in bulk. Only problem is, when you get home, they can give birth to an amazing variety of small insects, some beetles still live in my former flat as they seemed to be indestructible. Never again!

From Spain I brought back smoked paprika, saffron, (and colourante for paella). From Turkey cardomen powder (so much cheaper than here), kebab meat seasoning, lemon rock salt and flat round pitta bread which are much better than the stuff we can only buy in this country. Fresh figs from my Nana's trees, Chestnut flour from Italy which makes lovely little pancakes when filled with ricotta and white honey. Also both smoked garlic and mozzarella. From the States many of Paul Prudhommes seasonings. From the one dollar shops, this time of year, they have all of the hallo'een nick nacks which are much cheaper and better than what we get over here.
Photovoltage. The squid ink makes great squid paella and black homemade pasta.

From Crete we brought back the most amazing olive oil, which was sold in plastic bottles at a road-side stand. We also bought wonderful honey and dried oregano here. I love buying honey, as it tends to have such a distinct 'local' small, depending on the mix of flowers and plants in the area. From the US I've brought maple syrup, from France sausages, mayonaise and delicious desserts from the supermarket (profiteroles, iles flotantes).

We always bring back food or drink from our travels. Maple syrup and bagels from Vancouver, parmesan, limoncello and gnocchi from Italy (the latter was a bit squashed as we bought it freshly made the morning we flew home), lemon cheese and honey from Snowdonia, tins of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices from the USA and bags of fried/salted corn kernels from Peru. Oh and Veda bread whenever we go to N. Ireland!

I love bringing home treats from my holidays. I did a cooking course in Florence this year and part of the day was spent in the indoor market where there were so many gorgeous food stalls. I spent quite a bit on the olive oils and balsamic'. Top tip: ask the seller to vacuum pack your purchasers for you; even if it is an oil, it's a great way of ensuring that any breakages in your suitcase don't leak onto your clothes.

Just a couple of minor points really from someone who is resident in Marrakech, Morocco. Ras el hanout means "head" of the shop, referring to the person who chooses the particular mix of spices and herbs, condiments and other ingredients that compose the melange. It would be very rare to find 50+ ingredients; 25 is even pushing it! Here are the main ingredients: rosebuds, orrisroot, belladonna berries, cinnamon, Chinese cinnamon (dar el Sini ed dun), green and black cardamoms, cloves, kebala (cubebe) – a West African black pepper, turmeric, galangal, root ginger, lavender (khuzama), almond husk, ginger seeds, black cumin seeds, chilli pepper, Malayan pepper and black pepper, thyme, rosemary, nutmeg, mace, fenugreek and (possibly) cantharides (Spanish fly).
And Bubble Works, never say never! Two options for preservation are microwaving for 30 seconds or so on high, or, sealed in a suitable freezer bag - freeze!

Funny how excited we all are about what we can bring back from our travels even though most cities in Britain have 'cosmopolitan' delicatessens that stock many of these special ingredients.
For me it is the humble stock cube - yes they are different on the continent and well worth the luggage space because they simply aren't available in the UK. They are a basic item in most resorts throughout Europe.

Stauntons on the Green Guesthouse
The ease of parking was very helpful however if I have to comment it would be to suggest bedside lamps and a bigger TV.
Great location but...............
I stayed here for four nights.
On arrival I was informed that renovations were taking place along with an apology for the appearance of the hotel. That was fine, some dust and smell of paint but not in my room. However, being woken at 6.30 the next morning by builders banging and using power machinery was not. When I spoke to the person on reception I was informed that would not happen again - to an extent that was true, I was only woken at 6.50 the next day so not quite as early. Additionally, whilst waiting for a friend in the reception area I could clearly hear a conversation between one of the builders and, I think, the manager about invoices etc - far from professional behaviour as it was not the kind of conversation any guest should be privy to when paying for a service. On the first night I got back from a concert to find my room baking hot which took a couple of hours to cool down after turning off the heating and opening windows - something I then did every day fro the rest of my stay. I'm sure that when work like this is going on it's a lovely place to stay, location fantastic and easy to get to other places. However, the staff need some training in how to present the hotel to guests when all is not perfect. I had no other interaction with them, the breakfast waitress didn't even let me sit down before asking what I wanted from the menu (not that it took long to read as it was incredibly limited) and the receptionist didn't bother to ask if I'd had a good stay when I checked out. All in all I was not left with a good impression of this hotel which is a shame as I feel it could be a wonderful place to stay.

If Monday's list of preseason team predictions didn't tell you all you need to know about ACC football, then Wednesday's announcement of the All-ACC team surely will.
There's Clemson, then Florida State, then everybody else.
Of the 26 players selected, 14 play for either the Tigers or Seminoles–nine for Clemson, five for Florida State.
UNC was right behind the perennial powerhouses, though, with three of its players making the team–tying Louisville for third-most.
Thanks to his outstanding work as a punt returner over the last three years, senior wide receiver Ryan Switzer led the way by earning 112 out of a possible 191 votes to be the team's specialist.
With just one more punt return touchdown, Switzer would have eight for his career. That would tie former Texas Tech and New England Patriot star Wes Welker's NCAA record for most in a career.
As talented as the Tar Heel offense is projected to be, only junior tailback Elijah Hood–a Charlotte native–was named to the All-ACC offensive squad. His 97 votes placed him second behind Florida State speedster Dalvin Cook, who received an astonishing 184 votes.
After posting the second-most prolific rushing season in Tar Heel history in 2015, Hood is poised to break out in a big way this season.
Defensively, senior cornerback Des Lawrence received his due for helping the UNC secondary–known as the "Rude Boys"– become one of the best units in the nation at stopping the air attack.
Like Hood, Lawrence also calls the Queen City his home.
They also share another similarity in that Lawrence also finished second in voting at his position–coming up 53 votes short of Clemson's Cordrea Tankersley for the first-string nod.
Tar Heel fans can take pride, however, in knowing that no other North Carolina ACC school–Duke, NC State or Wake Forest–had a single player recognized as part of this team.
In all, only eight of the conference's 14 schools were represented–proving that this honor isn't exactly the easiest to obtain.
Moving forward, though, each of these 26 players will have to prove their worth on the field over the course of the next four months.
Should they do that, they'll end up on a list that's even harder to make–the postseason All-ACC team.
Full Preseason All-ACC Roster

As if there was any need for more pressure on this year's UNC football team, the Tar Heels were officially named the favorite to win the ACC Coastal Division on Monday.
Based on a poll of 191 media members last week at the conference's annual kickoff event, Clemson is projected to repeat as champion after receiving 144 first-place votes–but only after going through UNC in the league title game once again.
Although Florida State (39) garnered more first place votes than the Tar Heels (seven), the Seminoles compete in the same division as Clemson. This assures that the two schools won't be able to play against each other for the conference championship in December.
The ACC also announced its preseason Player of the Year voting–which saw the Tigers' star quarterback Deshaun Watson take home 166 first-place votes.
Mirroring the team projections, Florida State's speedy tailback Dalvin Cook was second with 18 votes–while UNC's bruising tailback Elijah Hood received four votes to end up third.

Last season, the UNC football team set a pair of lofty goals—hoping to win the ACC Coastal Division for the first time, while also defeating their three biggest in-state rivals.
A year later, that mission has been accomplished.
As a result, the Tar Heels showed up in Charlotte at 2016's ACC Media Day facing some of the highest expectations the program has ever seen.
With the amount of returning talent it has–both on offense and defense—UNC is among the favorites to claim the Coastal Division yet again.
The most important piece, though, is someone who's never started a game.
New starting quarterback, Mitch Trubisky—the first big-time recruit at his position under head coach Larry Fedora–spent the last two years learning behind Marquise Williams. Now he'll finally get his chance to shine.
However, his transition will certainly be made easier by all of the veteran playmakers around him—including his roommate, senior wide receiver Ryan Switzer.
"I joke with Mitch all the time at the house about how fortunate he is to step into the position he's in," Switzer told reporters. "I don't know of any other team that's returning what we're returning on offense."
The agile slot-man is expected to be a huge focal point of the high-speed Tar Heel attack, but he'll also be flanked by a pair of receivers 6-foot-4 or taller in Mack Hollins and Bug Howard.
Then there's the bulldozer in the backfield—junior tailback Elijah Hood. After posting the second most prolific rushing season in school history as a sophomore, you can expect him to receive another heavy workload.
On top of that, the team returns four of its five starters on the offensive line.
"It's not so much that we outdo ourselves, or outdo the numbers we put up," Switzer said. "We just gotta continue to be more consistent on a drive-to-drive basis—and make sure that we don't waste all the weapons we do have."
While a majority of the media attention this offseason has been given to the UNC offense, the defense should be able to make yet another stride in its second year under defensive coordinator Gene Chizik.
Despite losing a pair of veteran linebackers in Jeff Schoettmer and Shakeel Rashad, young faces like Andre and Jonathan Smith are expected to bring a new level of explosiveness. T
he strength of the defense, though, should again be in the secondary–with senior Des Lawrence leading the way.
"We're just trying to reach new heights," Lawrence said Thursday. "I think that everybody is challenging themselves to be better—and that of course is gonna make our defense better.
"Me personally, I'm challenging the secondary to be better than we were last year," he continued. "I think we were top 10, top 15 [nationally] in most categories."
As the countdown continues toward the Tar Heels' season opener in Atlanta against Georgia—an SEC powerhouse loaded on both sides of the ball–it's clear why Fedora doesn't want expectations for his team blown out of proportion.
"We're excited about [opening the season against Georgia]," Fedora said. "It's kind of a measuring stick that says 'Where are we at this point?'
"At the same time, we know that a game like that doesn't make or break our season."
The talent is there, yes, but the Tar Heels schedule also includes road games at Florida State and at Miami.
It'll be a difficult task for UNC to repeat its 8-0 ACC record from 2015, but here in speculation season anything—and I mean absolutely anything–is possible.http://chapelboro.com/featured/expectations-at-an-all-time-high-for-unc-football
With a draft that lasts for 40 rounds and numerous minor league franchises, it's common for the MLB to have hundreds of high school baseball players who decide to bypass college and go straight into their professional careers.
Following this year's draft, only 127 of Baseball America's top 500 high school prospects chose to attend school–where they will be forced to spend at least three years before their next shot at the pros.
Of that group of 127, UNC will have six of them arriving in Chapel Hill next season. Only Mississippi, with seven, had more commitments.
It's unclear how much the young players–five of whom are right-handed pitchers–will fit in with the current roster.
As it stands, the Tar Heels' current strength lies in its pitching–especially its right-handers–with power hitting being the team's biggest need.
The highest-ranked player in the UNC haul is Tyler Baum, a slender 6-foot-2-inch righty out of West Orange High School in Ocoee, Florida.
Baum is joined by fellow pitchers Austin Bergner (No. 165), Luca Dalatri (No. 174), Robbie Peto (No. 179) and Bo Weiss (No. 189).
Weiss is the son of former Tar Heel great and major league shortstop Walt Weiss, the current manager of the Colorado Rockies.
The five hurlers will be accompanied to campus by No. 208 on the list–catcher Brandon Martorano.
When they arrive at Boshamer Stadium, they'll represent the final recruiting class under former assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Scott Jackson.
Jackson accepted the head coaching job at Liberty earlier this week.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/unc-baseball-receives-commits-from-six-of-top-500-high-schoolers
It may not make him much different from anyone else, but here's a true story about UNC head men's basketball coach Roy Williams.
He loves Hawaii.
When the bracket for November's Maui Invitational was released on Wednesday he was plenty excited to talk about his upcoming trip–one that has brought the Tar Heels good fortune in the past.
The perfect temperatures, sandy beaches and deep blue oceans make Hawaii the ideal vacation spot.
But to use one of the greatest sports clichés of all time, the Tar Heels are supposed to be on a business trip—attempting to win three games in three days against a field full of tough major conference opponents
Making his tournament-record sixth appearance as a head coach, Williams knows more than anybody how tough it is to stay focused out there.
"First time I went [in 1996 while at Kansas], I thought it was the greatest preseason tournament I've ever been involved in," he said during the tournament's media teleconference. "I almost would not leave the islands–until they promised me I could come back four years later."
If history tells us anything it's that another trip to the Final Four could be in the cards for UNC depending on how the team performs in Maui.
In each of the three seasons–1999, 2004 and 2008–the Tar Heels took home the prize, they ended up reaching the Final Four later on that year.
Listening to Williams, it appears this year's group led by veterans Joel Berry, Justin Jackson and Kennedy Meeks should have the right makeup to accomplish the feat again.
"It is a long trip, and you've gotta remain focused on why you're going," the coach said. "So you need experienced players that have been through it before.
"We've been successful sometimes, and sometimes we haven't been as successful."
UNC will get a break in the first round this season, as it was matched up with the host school—Division II's Chaminade University. Although the Silverswords have pulled major upsets before, it's highly unlikely in this instance.
Should the Tar Heels move on, they'll play the winner of Oklahoma State and UCONN. Awaiting them in the finals could be one of four strong teams—including Oregon, a No. 1 seed in last year's NCAA Tournament.
In preparation for the early season gauntlet, UNC has already used each of its four summer practices as Williams gets his young players acclimated to the college game.
"My goal has always been—number one–let the freshmen understand what practice is gonna be like," Williams said. "Number two is to talk to them and get them to understand the secondary break.
"And then three is the pace of the game that we want to play with," he added. "To emphasize to them that they may think they're in shape, but they're nowhere near in shape to play."
By November, every player should be in full game shape as the Tar Heels look to embark on yet another successful season.
And sure, it might not be the end of the world if UNC comes up short in Maui like it did back in 2012. But previous evidence says this vacation usually ends up a lot like Groundhog Day.
Win and good things happen. Lose and they don't.
Only time will tell if that remains true.http://chapelboro.com/featured/unc-hopes-maui-invitational-brings-good-luck-yet-again
The home dugout at Boshamer Stadium is set to undergo the biggest facelift it's had since 2008.
For nearly a decade, the Diamond Heels' coaching staff led by Mike Fox, Scott Jackson and Scott Forbes has been a constant while the UNC baseball program reached heights it had never previously seen.
Now, after the Tar Heels have missed out on two consecutive NCAA Tournaments, a new era is set to begin–as Liberty University reached an agreement this past weekend to hire Jackson as its new head coach.
After helping the Tar Heels reach six NCAA Tournaments and three College World Series appearances, Jackson was recognized by Baseball America as one of the nation's top assistants prior to the 2013 season in which UNC won a school-record 59 games.
Jackson also had the duty of being the recruiting coordinator on Fox's staff–helping to bring in future major league talent like Kyle Seager (Seattle Mariners) and Colin Moran (Houston Astros).
"I am thrilled for Scott to take this next step in his coaching career," Fox said, in a statement released by UNC. "He is a tireless worker who will do a fantastic job at Liberty. He has helped lift our program to another level since joining the staff in 2008, and we will miss him in Chapel Hill.
"I wish Scott, his wife Sara, and their boys Ryan and Tyler nothing but the best moving forward. Liberty is getting a coach and a family that will represent the university with total class."
The news comes after Liberty's former head coach, Jim Toman, stepped down after his ninth season at the helm.
One year prior to joining the staff at UNC, Jackson was the pitching coach under Toman at Liberty.
He has also had coaching stints at his alma mater, Campbell, as well as UNC-Wilmington, Wofford and Barton.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/unc-baseball-assistant-scott-jackson-named-head-coach-at-liberty
Over the last three seasons at Kenan Stadium, a buzz has taken over the crowd each time 5-foot-10 wide receiver and punt return specialist Ryan Switzer gets his hands on the ball.
As he enters his senior year, it appears the rest of the nation is starting to recognize what those in Chapel Hill have known for a long, long time.
The Louisville Sports Commission named Switzer as one of 43 players on the watch list for the Hornung Award–which, for the last six years, has been given annually to the most versatile player in college football.
Switzer led the Tar Heels in 2015 with 55 catches for 697 yards and six touchdowns. The two-time All-American returner also brought two punts back for scores despite many opponents making a conscious effort to kick the ball away from him.
He enters 2016 with seven career punt return touchdowns–just one shy of tying the all-time record set by former Texas Tech star Wes Welker.
A panel of college football experts compiled the Hornung Award Watch List using a combination of 2015 statistics, career performance and expectations heading into the 2016 season.
It's safe to say that Switzer has each of those boxes checked–and then some.
To win the trophy, however, he'll have to outperform three of last year's four finalists: RB Christian McCaffrey (Stanford), WR/CB Adoree Jackson (Southern California) and LB/S Jabrill Peppers (Michigan).
Past winners and finalists include: Odell Beckham Jr. (LSU/New York Giants), Tavon Austin (West Virginia/Los Angeles Rams) and Randall Cobb (Kentucky/Green Bay Packers).
"I'm ecstatic that the Paul Hornung Award has gained national prominence in such a short time," said Paul Hornung, the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner who played every position in the offensive backfield during his Notre Dame career–and was a triple threat halfback for the Green Bay Packers of the early 1960s.
"During the past six years the quality of our winners, finalists and weekly honorees has been impressive," he added. "And I'm pleased that we are able to acknowledge outstanding players who contribute any way possible to help their teams win the way I did."
The award will be presented in late February at a banquet in downtown Louisville.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/ryan-switzer-on-watch-list-for-hornung-award
UPDATED on Friday, July 15, 2016
The sports world was brought to its knees on the fourth of July when former Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant announced his intentions to sign with the Golden State Warriors in free agency–adding yet another layer to what was already the NBA's most talented team.
Durant's spotlight-stealing moment came just days after the Memphis Grizzlies re-signed point guard Mike Conley–a solid starter, albeit one that's never made an All-Star Game–to the largest contract in NBA history (five years, $153 million).
A dramatic increase in the league's salary cap caused by the league's new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal has made this free agency period has one of the craziest of all time.
As many as nine former UNC players have found themselves on the market this summer–some hoping to cash in big and others hoping they can cash in at all.
This round-up is designed to keep you up to date on those former Tar Heels, and how they've been affected by the madness.
Harrison Barnes: Signed with the Dallas Mavericks (four years, $94 million)
As our own Art Chansky wrote recently, there may be no player who helped themselves more during this period than the former Golden State swingman.
The NBA Finals may not have gone his way, but he was rewarded soon after with a max contract and a spot on the U.S. Olympic roster.
Durant may have taken his job in Golden State, but Barnes will be just fine now that he'll have a larger role with the Mavericks–not to mention the larger contract.
He's expected to take over the starting small forward spot in Dallas after Chandler Parsons left Dallas to sign with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Marvin Williams: Re-signed with the Charlotte Hornets (four years, $54 million)
The former No. 2 overall pick in 2005 is coming off perhaps the best season of his career playing for owner–and Tar Heel legend–Michael Jordan.
He shot a career-high 40 percent from beyond the three-point line while averaging 11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game–playing as a stretch forward who was able to help space the floor for dynamic point guard Kemba Walker.
Yahoo's NBA guru Adrian Wojnarowski said Williams received offers from other teams that totaled more than $15 million per year.
However, the idea of remaining in Charlotte was much more appealing to the 11-year veteran.
Raymond Felton: Signed with Los Angeles (one year, $1.5 million)
Another lottery pick from the aforementioned 2005 draft, Felton has played for six teams in his career–spending the last two with the Dallas Mavericks. He is joining Brice Johnson with the Clippers.
Tyler Zeller: Restricted Free Agent (Boston Celtics)
Despite seeing a significant decrease in playing time last season in Boston–his total minutes dropped from 1731 in 2014-15 to 710 in 2015-16–the Celtics tendered a qualifying offer to Zeller before the free agency period began.
What this means for the seven-footer is that he's allowed to agree on a contract with any of the league's 30 teams–but with a catch.
The Celtics have the right to match any offer that Zeller accepts, as long as it's within three days of him signing that opposing deal.
Should Zeller end up unable to find a long-term contract he likes, he'd return to Boston to play out his one-year qualifying offer before becoming an unrestricted free agent next season.
Ty Lawson: Unrestricted Free Agent
After spending his first six seasons in the NBA with the Denver Nuggets becoming one of the league's most talented–and quickest–point guards, Lawson has spent the last year in an unceremonious fall from grace of sorts.
An offseason arrest in Los Angeles for DUI–the fourth of his life–prompted a trade to the Houston Rockets, where he never quite fit in with stars James Harden and Dwight Howard.
Houston ended up agreeing to a buyout with Lawson midway through the season with the 2009 national champion at UNC averaging just six points and three assists per game–well below his career averages of 14 points and 6.6 assists.
He then spent 13 games with the Indiana Pacers before ultimately becoming a free agent again this offseason.
Although no suitors have emerged yet, Lawson granted an interview to Slam Magazine where he stated he hopes to play in an up-tempo system where he promises a "new Ty Lawson" will flourish.
Tyler Hansbrough: Unrestricted Free Agent
In many eyes, Hansbrough is the greatest college player to ever step foot in Chapel Hill.
Unfortunately, the ACC's all-time leading scorer has yet to make his mark at the next level.
Psycho T has set career lows in scoring over the last three seasons with the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets. His peak came during his second full season with the Indiana Pacers, as he scored a career-high 11 points per game back in 2010-11.
With Toronto his average fell to just 4.9 point per game in 2013-14, then 3.6 in 2014-15–before dropping just 2.4 per game last year with the Hornets.
Charlotte's recent signing of 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert means it's highly unlikely that the Hornets bring Hansbrough back for another shot.
Wayne Ellington: Signed with the Miami Heat (two years, $12 million)
The third free agent from UNC's 2009 national title run, Ellington will be searching for his seventh team in eight seasons.
He declined a $1.5 million player option with the Brooklyn Nets in search of a more lucrative deal as a role player who can bring outside shooting off the bench.
A career 37.6 percent shooter from three-point range, Ellington will bring the most useful skill in the game to any team that he ends up with.
He was most recently in the news for winning the PBWA Citizenship Award, an honor he received for speaking out against gun violence in the wake of his father's murder.
James Michael McAdoo: Re-signed with Golden State Warriors for One Year Deal
Although he's played in just 56 games in his two-year career, McAdoo entered the public eye once again during the NBA Finals.
As a member of the Golden State Warriors, McAdoo was given crucial playing time as a way for the Warriors to maintain their preferred "small-ball" style.
ESPN's Marc Spears reported that McAdoo had re-signed with the Warriors on Friday.
PJ Hairston: Unrestricted Free Agent
Hairston has struggled in his transition to the NBA, as he has yet to find the shooting stroke that made him such a threat as a Tar Heel.
In two seasons spent with the Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies, Hairston has averaged just six points per game–even though he was a starter in Charlotte for the first half of last season.
Part of that is his career three-point percentage of just 29 percent when much of his game depends on outside shooting.
With his off-court troubles and attitude issues having been documented heavily in recent years, it's unclear what the future holds for the enigmatic shooting guard.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/nba-free-agency-the-tar-heel-round-up
Can times be any better for Larry Fedora right now?
The UNC head football coach coming off a school record 11-win season, ACC Coastal Division Championship and a brand new contract extension added another honor to his list last Friday.
He was one of just 24 coaches selected to the preseason Watch List for the 2016 Dodd Trophy, which is the most coveted coaching award in college football.
It is a distinction given to a coach who is not only successful on the field, but also one who stresses the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity–the three pillars of the award's namesake, former Georgia Tech head coach Bobby Dodd.
Other nominees for the award include Alabama's Nick Saban and Ohio State's Urban Meyer–two coaches who have made the sport their own personal playground in recent years.
Georgia's new head coach Kirby Smart, who will coach the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game against Fedora on Sept. 3, also found his name on the list.
The Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl–along with the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation–is one of the trophy's two presenting sponsors.
Although widely recognized as a great football mind and recruiter, the former Alabama defensive coordinator has never coached a single game.
Now though, UNC's season opener–sponsored by Chick-Fil-A–can be billed as a matchup of top 25 teams and coaches.
For those counting at home, that game between the Tar Heels and Bulldogs is just over seven weeks away.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/larry-fedora-nominated-for-dodd-trophy
With the departure of Landon Turner to the NFL, the UNC offensive line is in need of a new leader.
Enter Jon Heck.
A member of the All-ACC second team in 2015, Heck was recognized last week as one of 70 players to watch for this year's Outland Trophy–the award given to the nation's most outstanding interior lineman.
During his first three years as a Tar Heel, Heck has started 38 games–including all 14 last season.
Although he has been known in recent years as more of a pass-blocking specialist, the numbers show Heck's made great strides in the run department as well.
His partnership with fellow veterans Turner and center Lucas Crowley helped UNC clear the way for a much-improved ground attack in 2015.
Elijah Hood ran for over 1,400 yards out of the backfield, while quarterback Marquise Williams nearly tacked on another 1,000.
Heck's contributions to the Tar Heels may not be pretty, but they are much-needed–especially if the team wants to continue its winning ways again in 2016.
Of the 70 players nominated for the Outland Trophy, Heck is one of just 22 offensive tackles on the list.
By November, only six or seven semifinalists will remain in contention for the honor–before the final three candidates are chosen to attend the Home Depot College Football Awards in Atlanta on Dec. 8.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/jon-heck-selected-as-candidate-for-outland-trophy

'This isn't real estate'
Tara Singh, the 26-year-old daughter of Analjit Singh, grew up watching her father take the Max empire from strength to strength. After studying politics and South Asian studies, she moved back to Delhi to devote her energies to a senior living project. After two years of rigorous planning and research, the project has finally been launched. She outlines her vision.
There are many players entering the retirement community market. Who is your biggest competition?
The biggest competition is home. Most people don't like to leave the familiarity of their home even when they're having difficulties living on their own. In India, the biggest problem is lack of awareness. People have to become aware that options exist and that there is no stigma attached to senior living.
Will you be targeting NRIs since their parents have no one to care for them?
While children are important while taking the decision to move into a senior living project, our target will be the end user. Our typical customer will be an active, engaged, progressive 60-plus individual. We see this is a want based product which can, of course, develop into a need based product.
What is your biggest USP?
While most others players focus on software, ours is service and attention to detail. We've done meticulous research across US, Australia and Europe and have evolved a model that will suit India. The most important thing we keep in mind is that a senior living project isn't real estate. It's about providing an individual a supportive environment which accommodates the fact that the person is growing older.

Seen on public television
In 1920s Melbourne, the Honorable Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is a thoroughly modern woman operating in a mostly male world. The glamorous "lady detective" goes about her work with a pistol close at hand—and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer.
To the dismay of Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, The Secret Life of Us), Phryne's investigations take her through back alleys, jazz clubs, and shady neighborhoods. Ignoring the dangers all around her, she glides through life determined to enjoy every moment. But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her.
Gorgeously costumed and evocatively shot, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries also stars Hugo Johnstone-Burt (Cloudstreet), Ashleigh Cummings (Tomorrow, When the War Began), Miriam Margolyes (Little Dorrit), and Nicholas Bell (Shine). Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings) guest stars.

Imagine my joy when, through the miracle of Roku and an Acorn Premium membership, Miss Fisher's Mysteries showed up as a January-February offering and I realized that this was indeed MY Phryne! I've now, at great sacrifice of housekeeping and household nutrition, watched every episode in Season One. I can, without reservation, hereby pronounce Miss Fisher's Mysteries a triumph!
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation spared no expense in recreating the Melbourne of the late 1920s nor the luxurious accoutrements of Phryne's world from Hispano-Suiza, to steam train, to Phryne's spectacular wardrobe. Essie Davis is perfect; fully portraying the many facets of Phryne, champion of the underdog, sensuous vamp, keen detective and tango dancer extraordinaire. The TV writing is exceptional and the stories are faithful as they can be to the books, given the limitations of 54 minutes and contemporary sensibilities probably unforgiving of Phryne's and Lin Chung's "arrangement" after his marriage and the decidedly decadent protagonists of the Murder in the Dark book have been cleaned up a lot. The musical score is splendid, mixing original work with jazz standards.
Don't expect every subplot each book contains when viewing that episode. Instead, sit back and let the sights and sounds of Jazz Age Melbourne become real and become a part of Phryne's inner circle. It's a more than fair trade-off and rarely, rarely does translation from page to screen get it so right!
The Hon. Phryne Fisher has returned to Melbourne, Australia after many years of living abroad. Despite her well-heeled manner, Phryne hides a hardscrabble childhood spent in abject poverty, and is still haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her beloved sister Janey. It takes only a few moments after Phryne's arrival on the Melbourne dock for the murders and mysteries to start, but with her talent for attracting friends from all walks of life, including cab drivers Bert (Travis McMahon) and Cec (Anthony Sharpe), Mr Butler (Richard Bligh), Constable Hugh Collins (Hugo Johnstone-Burt), Aunt Prudence (Miriam Margolyes), Dr Mac (Tammy Macintosh) and new ward Jane (Ruby Rees Wemyss), Phryne is ready for anything!
Phryne's delicious "will they-won't they" banter with Detective Jack Robinson (Nathan Page) drives a great deal of the tension within the series. The early episodes rattle along gloriously and are hugely enjoyable as "single" adventures, however things take a darker tone starting in the 11th episode, "Blood and Circuses", as Phryne's quest to finally avenge her sister's needless death at the hands of criminal Murdoch Foyle (Nicholas Bell in a chilling performance) comes to a thrilling climax. The final three episodes careen along at breakneck speed, taking Phryne, her family and friends through their most terrifying and deadly brushes with Foyle.
Essie Davis plays the resourceful Miss Fisher and it is indeed a sensational performance.Read more ›
We first meet Phryne disembarking at Melbourne, Australia. She almost immediately receives an engraved invitation to dine with her old friends, Lydia and John Andrews, and her indefatigable gossip of an aunt.
When Phryne arrives at the Andrews', it's just in time to see her host's body carried out on a police stretcher. According to Aunt Prudence, "It seems that John collapsed suddenly after a light breakfast of tea and kumquat marmalade toast. And the maid found him, purple in the face and cold to the touch on the bathroom floor."
Phryne's investigation leads her to several interesting characters, including a French-Russian tango dancer, a Turkish bath owner and a handsome police detective. The last because, yes, John Andrews was murdered - with poison in the sugar bowl.
But what's especially interesting is when we get the first inkling of why Phryne really came to Melbourne. She visits a man in jail. We aren't given much information in the beginning, except we know it has to do with her late sister Janey. Phryne tells him, "I've come half way around the world to make sure that you never get out of here alive..... Whatever horrors you visited on her [Jane], I have imagined tenfold, and given the chance, I will do the same to you without smearing my lipstick."
This Australian Broadcasting Corporation series is based on the mysteries written by Kerry Greenwood. I haven't read the books, so I had no preconceptions.Read more ›

Read an Excerpt
MY HUSBAND AND I have known many adoptive parents over the past 35 years. The majority had a beautiful experience in creating their adoptive family, while others had an extremely difficult time. I have great admiration for the adoptive parents we have known personally who were battered by the complicated aspects of adoption. They have gone through difficult years, but without exception, all have come through to a positive resolution, and their families are lovingly intact.
It would have been easier for us as adoptive parents had we known what was ahead of us. However, we were the generation which didn't anticipate problems. We didn't realize what our children were going through. Undoubtedly, we could have been of more help had we realized they were fighting "ghosts and demons" we couldn't see. We were told from the start not to anticipate problems, and we believed this with all our hearts. Those of us who experienced problems loved our children blindly and could not see that their issues and resulting negative behavior came from a valid basis. We were, indeed, caught short. At the time, the only way we knew to help them was to keep loving them. Unfortunately, for the most part, they had to find their own way through the labyrinth of issues stemming out of separation from their birth parents (relinquishment). We had no problems with the adoption concept, and unfortunately, didn't understand the source of our children's problems. We could only stand by and catch them when they fell. We were frustrated because we didn't know how to help. My fervent hope is that adoptive parents who read this work will be more enlightened than my generation of adoptive parents. This does not mean there will not be problems. Your child still may go through difficult times, but you will have the advantage of being able to understand their thought process. Whether you see the logic and sequence of their thinking or not, my hope is you will give credibility to their point of view. Your children can be fragile.
Long before I knew we would be an adoptive family I was intrigued by the concept. There seemed to be an exciting aura surrounding the process. Perhaps it is the unknown factor that makes adoption so mystical. It's hard to describe. Adoptive parents face additional challenges, although most would agree the experience of creating an adoptive family is overwhelmingly positive. This work deals with some problem areas, and there is no question they can be very serious.There are those overpowering moments when you look at your adopted child and are struck with the realization that he could have been placed in another family. Whether it be fate, circumstance, or divine intervention, that child you are hugging tightly is yours, and yours forever. Adoptive parents do not take their children for granted. These children are cherished indeed. There is a deep satisfaction that accompanies adoptive parenting. The word "special" is overused when it comes to adopted children, but I sincerely feel adoptive parenting is special. In my mind, there is no question that adoptive parents give more to their children. Their emotions have the basis for a deeper foundation because everything they do is very consciously done. All becomes special because so much time and effort and emotion occur before the fact of the child's arrival. When the child finally arrives, it is indeed, a blessed event. Even though there may be some hard times, possibly even harder than with a biological child, it is still a blessed union. I discovered an interesting fact while working at a residential facility for emotionally disturbed adolescents-20 percent to 25 percent of the children there had been adopted. Only 2.5 percent of the general population is adopted by a nonrelative, so their number was eight to ten times more than the adopted population in general. The environment there, with its disproportionate number of adopted children, only strengthened my realization that adoptive families have been overlooked and their unique issues have not been addressed by society. They have been alone for too long a time.
I hope information included in this work will show adoptive parents the inner workings of their child's mind. Many problems stemming from adoption are exacerbated because adoptive parents have never been adopted. This is a place where most of us have never been. In our family we certainly had no clue as to how one of our two adopted sons was thinking. We were motivated by love, while one of our sons was motivated by doubt and insecurity. It's no wonder we weren't on the same wave length. Some couples feel apprehensive about adopting, and this is understandable. There are innate issues that can be troublesome. However, the feeling of taking an adopted child into your heart is so extraordinary that it is hard to describe to people who have not experienced it. We know we are fortunate to be among those who have.
We are grateful that life has blessed our family with both biological and adopted children. They have taught us different lessons. Adoption has taught us that love does not conquer all. Love is always present, but adoptive parents are forced to reach deep within themselves to discover their marvelous qualities of empathy, tenderness, tolerance, and compassion. Therein lies the blessing, the grace uniquely bestowed by adoption. DESCRIPTION: Adoption is intended to be, and should be, a fulfilling, beautiful, rewarding, and enriching aspect in anyone¹s life. Many times, however, there are pitfalls and a lack of resources to turn to for help, advice, and answers on the subject. This book deals with these pitfalls which may not be obvious to the unenlightened adoptive parent who was basically handed a child and told to ³Make him your own.² The goal of this book is to help adoptive parents understand some potentially challenging factors so they can deal with them positively and to help parents comprehend the thinking process of their child. It will also be an invaluable resource to social workers, teachers, and counselors so that they may approach their adopted clients in an enlightened way once they understand an adopted child has issues in his life unique to the adoptive process. Adoptive parents reading this book can gain a different insight into their child¹s reasoning, and this information can be used to avert some potential problems they might otherwise face. It includes all the issues that adoptive families should be told about, and it is based primarily upon real life experiences relating equally to both sexes. In particular, it will apprise the non-adopted person, the adoptive parent, so he can look at the obstacles his adopted child may be facing. Then he, as a parent, can begin to understand his child¹s behavior. Once the true source of the adopted child¹s pain is discovered, parents can reach the ³ah, ha² moment we have all experienced. With understanding comes a new attitude and the impetus to change the whole atmosphere from negative to positive. The child and his parents will still have issues to deal with, but the source has been uncovered and issues can be faced openly. Readers will appreciate that the book is designed to flow in the first person as if the author was talking directly with them.

Re: Dark hair with Peek A Boo highlights.
I love that look also! I have black hair and one summer I decided it would look so kewl with Cinnamon colored peek-a-boo highlights but also had trouble explaining it the the Hairdresser..needless to say it came out really bad ! Let me know how your hair comes out! I'm dying to do it again this summer but am a little burnt from the last time. Could this be done with an at home highlight kit?
March 14th, 2008, 12:34 PM #4
Re: Dark hair with Peek A Boo highlights.
NO! dont try it at home, unless your ready to fry your hair and end up with an orange color. You said your hair was black, do you have any gold flecks in your eyes? That is an easy way to find out if someones natural hair color can be lifted to a pretty blond or not. If you are wanting that light of a blond maybe you should just get a few fusion extensions in instead. That way you dont damage your hair.

Re: Dark hair with Peek A Boo highlights.
I just got this done not to long ago.. my hair was black .. and i did it with myself at home my hair dresser was so scared to do it at first she was so honest she just wasn't sure but she told me she would do a "strand" test to see how the color would lift off my hair.. and then she would proceed if it looked okay all i had to do was make another appointment and use the joico k pac treatment on my hair to kinda "prepare" it i guess.. anyways.. my hair lifted really good.. and she was so shocked and so happy with the outcome! lol.. Now that i got the blonde i wanna go dark again though.. im the type i wanna change my hair all the time though! haha!
Anyway!! .. maybe ask your stylist if she can do a strand test to see how well your hair would lift.

Re: Dark hair with Peek A Boo highlights.
Thanks everyone! especially to mischevious for the picture posting!
Melly.. Do you happen to have a picture of it after you did it at home yourself?
i always get my hair done at the salon.. but right now im tight with cash flow so i'm thinking of doing it myself..
Right now my hair is a medium brown with caramel highlights throughout..
I'm not really scared that i'm gonna fry my hair since it already has some lightness to it.. All i gotta do is bleach the pieces and put the dark dark charcoal brown in.
How many hightlights did you put around your head? and are they placed at about the middle of your head area.. around your ears?
Any tips would help!
P.S. thats me in the pic .. do you think i would even suit it? I'm just completely sick of highlights

I believe this hairstyle is called the moppy. My friend has this and it looks absolutly gorgeous on her. If you go to the hairstylist and ask for a moppy they should know what you're talking about lol."don't sink to the level of someone who slings mud.
the only thing that will happen is you will get their filth on you."*

Re: Dark hair with Peek A Boo highlights.
i had hair like that! my hair was darkish brown, and i went to sally's a bought a bleaching kit, which had everything i needed. we took foils (someone HAS to help you do it) and clipped my hair up and took chunks of hair and dyed them and wrapped them up in foils. i really loved it, some of the chunks came out less blonde than others and it was really cool. i had to get rid of it for a job though, but now that i've dyed my hair all one color again, its faded and where the blonde used to be, it looks like natural highlights.
please ignore my drunk face hahaha
March 20th, 2011, 08:21 AM #12
What you want sounds awesome! I was blonde w/highlights and dyed my hair black myself and am loving it. But recently wanted to try platinim highlights just around my face. I think the contrast looks amazing. So my hairstylist said it wouldn't go that light but we tried it anyway. It took well and looks pretty good but not as light as I want it. So I'm going to get the highlights lightened again. I'll post a pic soon. But here is a pic I found of the contrast I wanted.
September 16th, 2011, 04:51 AM #13
i just got peek a boos in my hair. i had a really rich chocoloate brown hair color and i wanted somehing darker for the upcoming winter. i went to aveda the other day and what my stylist did was bleached the hair underneathe that i wante lighter then folied it and dyed the rest of my hair a dark brown with purple and red hues. when she went to wash everything out she unwrapped my bleached section and mixed that and my darker color together so it would be toned. it came out soooooooo good. just an idea for anyone. but it really helps th lighter color if your ub it with the dark before you rinse (:
November 28th, 2011, 10:04 PM #14
That sounds so pretty lyrics, could you post a picture of how it turned out? Thanks

The software giant first launched Windows XP Starter Edition, a localized version of the full-fledged Windows operating system with reduced features, in Thailand last October. The cut-rate version debuted in Malaysia and Indonesia in February.
The product has received the initial backing of more than 15 local system builders and multinational computer makers in these three countries.
What's new:
Microsoft has been depending on its partners to bundle and promote Windows XP Starter Edition with their low-end desktops--a strategy that so far has been met with a tepid response.
Bottom line:
Microsoft recognizes the distribution problems with Starter Edition and plans to tailor its efforts to suit individual countries as part of a 12-month pilot program. A major challenge is combatting piracy, which floods markets with cheap bootleg copies of Windows software. In Kuala Lumpur, for example, bootleg copies of Windows XP go for less than $5.
Unlike Microsoft's flagship Windows offerings, however, Starter Edition is not sold at retail. The company is banking on its partners to bundle and promote the software with their low-end PCs, a strategy that has so far received lukewarm response.
"We're not focused on Starter Edition," said Kharisma Shintara, director of Arta Computer Center, a computer assembler in Indonesia that has licensed Microsoft's scaled-down offering.
Shintara told CNETAsia that his primary product line will remain Pentium 4 PCs that are preloaded with Windows XP Home Edition--not the lower-end Intel Celeron machines, which Starter Edition is designed for.
"We've only used it in some projects for schools," he said, adding that the price of such Starter Edition-based PCs is around $320 (3 million Indonesian rupiah).
In Thailand, a number of Microsoft's Starter Edition partners, like Atec and Belta, are still promoting PCs that ship without any operating system.
Supreme Computer--one of the largest PC manufacturers in the country--is even selling a low-end Celeron PC preloaded with Linux for $404 (15,490 Thai baht).
The company also offers a similar system featuring Starter Edition that costs $443. Microsoft declined to provide sales figures for the new operating system in Thailand.
Besides Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, Starter Edition is also bound for Russia and India this year, although the Indian launch has been postponed from March until June.

The Microsoft CEO says
cheaper computers
would help stem piracy
in emerging markets.
"Starter Edition has not gained much interest from vendors, nor has it generated much interest from end users," said Martin Gilliland, principal analyst with research company Gartner Asia-Pacific.
Gilliland attributed the tepid response largely to high piracy rates. Smaller computer retailers in these emerging countries, he said, tend to buy their systems from large original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and then load them with cheaper, unlicensed versions of Windows.
In Malaysia, Microsoft has set the pricing of Starter Edition at $32 (120 ringgits). In contrast, bootleg copies of Windows

"Very interesting"
With all the things happening in the world you wonder how many Islamic people's read this book and what their take is in it. I would Imagin it is very different for both males and females.
"I am so obsessed with Ayaan"
Everything this woman has experienced and talks about is moving and inspiring. She offers her opinions and she openly admits many people don't agree with her, but she fights for the constitutional right to have freedom of speech. She is hard working and dedicated and this book is powerful. I recommend this book to any one with a brain that is intelligent and wants to hear powerful and influential stuff. If you aren't a person who wouldn't want to hear this woman's empowering and influential story then you are the human equivalent to frozen yoghurt or celery. And frankly I don't want those kind of people in my life... just saying.
"Eye opening"
Deeply compelling . I will never forget this remarkable woman's story . It Is humbling to me as an American woman, I plan on listening to one of her other books , Heretic .
"Religious racism"
Her story is unique. She mention many real things about Islam whereas several things were not. Some Muslims created it.
Her hate to Islam is not excused. There is NO reason to disseminate that hate towards Muslims and Islam. Blame your people not the religion.
I am wonder WHY she hates Islam in the mean time, she likes Christianity and Judaism !!!
Powerful depiction of the suppression of women. Aayan is a brave woman and impressive role model for women around the world.
"An interesting life"
The audio edition allows to hear the right pronunciation of Arabic names and places. I enjoyed that.
I understand the value of having the writer tell her own story, especially in an autobiography. On the other hand, Ayaan seemed many times emotionally detached from the terrible episodes of her life she was describing.
I listen to audiobooks mainly during commutes, and it was hard to get out of the car sometimes.
The editing of the story was very poor. Many times the narrator finished a sentence, and the next one started without a second's pause.
"Incredibly powerful story"
This is an essential read/listen for anyone who wants to get a thorough understanding of what it is like for women to grow up in Islamic societies in North Africa and the Middle East. It highlights problems within Western societies and what can be done about them.
"Describes a culture foreign to someone from USA"
Yes. It offers a perspective on islamic and western culture which is new to somebody who has never been to an islamic country and compared the Islamic World to the West. It talks about life in Somalia, the famine of 1992, and Hirsi Ali's experience coming to the West for the first time. It is amazing how everything was so new to her in the Netherlands. From there, it tells the story of how Hirsi Ali became one of the most famous atheists and critics of islam. It is a very good book and it is hard to put down in parts. Atypical for a nonfiction story.
She has an accent which is hard to understand.
She employs very strong criticism of islam, especially towards the end of the book. So be prepared.
"Thoughtful and full of thought"
This book was an eye opener for me.
It made me both sad and angry and sometimes hopeless . Not at ayaan, but at the situation in general.
"Great book!"
I loved hearing her amazing life story and was very inspired by her rise from obscurity
I have nothing I could compare it too
Her pronunciation of words in Dutch, Arabic, and Somali were correct and much better then I could have done
When she went passed the Kenyan border into Somali to find her distant family members to bring into Kenya. Also when she worked as a translator in holland. Those stories broke my heart.
Amazing lady!

Scripture for the Week:
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
1 Timothy 6:12
To trust God means to rely on Him to meet your every need. It means to believe that every one of His promises is true. Your trust in God is greater than the trust you have in anyone on Earth. If you trust Him with even a little faith, like the size of a mustard seed, then no matter what trial or test you go through, you are confident that He will bring you through it – you will be able to endure. If you trust Him, then you love Him and if you love Him then you will keep His commandments. It is easier to trust the Lord when you live a life that praises Him. So trust in the Lord always, so that you will never be put to shame.
