text: Teachers using Gamestar Mechanic in the classroom do not need to be experts in game design. The built-in curriculum can be used to scaffold a class, with teachers taking a role of guide and mentor. The lessons in this Getting Started Pack are designed to spur a range of interactions between students and the game, and students and each other. Teachers should serve as facilitators for student discussion, reflection, and ideation. Game design can also empower students to teach each other—the act of playing and making games for each other moves learning into a collaborative sphere. Kids can show other students what they discovered by playing and creating games, giving them a chance to act as experts. We recommend that educators try to support students taking on these roles in the classroom, serving as teachers and mentors to their peers. |

Walter Ehlers remembered as 'national treasure'
With a mixture of military pomp, personal pride and a hint of humor, more than 750 people – including seven Medal of Honor recipients – bid good-bye to an American hero Saturday in unseasonably warm weather at Riverside National Cemetery.
Buena Park resident Walter Ehlers died Feb. 19 at age 92. Ehlers had been the last survivor among nine recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's most revered military honor, who braved withering fire on the beaches of Normandy, France, on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
The service, less than three months before the invasion's 70th anniversary, was held in front of the cemetery's Medal of Honor Memorial, which Ehlers helped to establish.
"The wonderful outpouring of respect for my father and for the sacrifices he made for his country has been absolutely beautiful," Ehlers' daughter, Catherine Ehlers Metcalf, said before the ceremony. "It has reinforced everything that he believed in and everything that he stood for."
The ceremony followed long-established military structure, with a bagpiper playing "The Army Song" as pallbearers carried Ehlers' flag-draped casket past current and former military personnel, standing silently at attention and smartly saluting.
The troops wore dress uniforms from myriad branches of the service. They spanned the generations, from school-aged children representing military-supported youth programs, to frail, white-haired veterans in wheelchairs who donned well-worn uniforms of years past.
A lighter moment interrupted the precise protocol early on when a mammoth C-17 transport plane from nearby March Air Reserve Base flew low and slow over the memorial. Its roaring engine triggered a jolting car alarm in the parking lot.
"Believe me, dad's here and he's laughing at that horn thing," Metcalf told the crowd.
Family members clutched each other's hands periodically and wiped away tears as tributes and personal recollections paid homage to a man recognized as a ferocious fighter during World War II – and a humble, gentle man after the war.
At least four people were overcome by the heat during the two-hour ceremony and were treated by paramedics at the cemetery.
Ehlers' widow, Dorothy, who used her program to shield her face from the burning afternoon sun, laughed as Medal of Honor recipient Jay Vargas talked about one of Walt Ehlers' favorite foods.
"I've never seen a man eat so damn many Cheerios in my life," said Vargas, a Marine colonel awarded his medal for action in Vietnam.
Ehlers received the Medal of Honor for his action as a 23-year-old staff sergeant leading fellow soldiers in the French town of Goville, three days after the Normandy landing. Over a two-day period, Ehlers knocked out two machine gun emplacements, neutralized a mortar position and took fire to divert enemy fire as his fellow squad members withdrew.
Former California Gov. Pete Wilson, who worked with Ehlers to help establish the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, called Ehlers a "one-man army and yet you would never know it" because of his humility.
Army Lt. Gen. Perry Wiggins led a 32-man contingent of pallbearers, honor guard members and even a bugler from Ehlers' former outfit, the 1st Infantry Division in Fort Riley, Kan.
"Walter Ehlers was national treasure," Wiggins told the audience. "His legacy shall endure."
Ehlers, a Kansas native who lived in Orange County since 1955, was known for his quiet, approachable style. He met with presidents and served as guest of honor at Normandy reunions on the 50th and 60th anniversaries of the invasion. He spoke in classrooms and service-club breakfasts in Orange County and at schools public and private in Riverside.
"It was tough for me to reconcile ... Walt Ehlers the soldier and Walt Ehlers the man I began to know and love," Ted Weggeland said before the service.
Weggeland of Riverside was a friend and one of five speakers who delivered eulogies.
"When you read his citation, you see what he did on those two days in Goville, France," Weggeland said. On the personal side, "He was as soft and kind-hearted and gentle and modest and humble a man as I've ever met in my life."
Metcalf said family members "are trying to approach this (ceremony) as celebrating dad's life. In addition to being my dad, he was my best friend, so I miss him every darn day and I will continue to miss him every day."
In the last weeks of Ehlers' life, his daughter said, "he mentioned how much he loved God and how much he loved the United States."
On the day of his death in a Veterans Affairs Administration hospital in Long Beach, she said, Ehlers instructed her to "Tell my Medal of Honor brothers I love them."

Youth work works? Impact and value in funding work with children and young people
There is a crisis in youth work funding: a recent survey shows one third of youth projects face closure in the next year. Are some funders held back by a worry about how to identify good quality services that will be effective in delivering outcomes? This meeting offered funders in London examples of how to benchmark the quality of youth work intervention and a chance to hear each other's experience of funding youth services and projects. A joint meeting with John Lyon's Charity.

Members meeting: Less than the cost of a first class stamp?
Hosted by Schroders in late 2011, this meeting attracted a great mix of London's funders to discuss the impact of changing patterns of funding on services for children and young people in London. This first in a series of seminars aimed to help funders review and analyse the changing funding landscape for London's VCS, addressed what is agreed as the area most vulnerable to cuts. One speaker quoted from a recent report that public sector cuts mean "spending on young people's services has fallen to just 28 pence per young person per day – less than the cost of a first class stamp".
A big thanks to our recent sponsors:

Lessons From the Waiting Room
This morning, I pulled on my clothes at 5:30 am and headed to the hospital to be with a member going into surgery. It took me back to August of 2001 when my "baby" sis had breast cancer. I wasn't pastor that day. I drove to Atlanta, took the day off, and went to be with my family as she fought the toughest fight of her (maybe any of our family). She is 12 years my junior, and I left home for college when Amy was only 5. I adored her more like a doting uncle than a brother, although as adults I have loved her as a peer. She is smart, lovely, and, it turned out, a fighter. She went through it, survived, and is going strong. Still, I went back to that day, years ago, when I sat, helpless, in a waiting room, unsure what the coming hours would bring. It taught me some lessons.
Wednesdays are usually the busiest day of the week for me—surpassing even Sundays. Last week, though, Vickie and I spent the day where so many of our members find themselves at one time or another—in the waiting room. As we awaited my sister's surgery, I found myself in the unusual position of being the recipient of visits.
As a family we had gone through all the decisions, phone calls, prayers and anxiety that patient families do. Now the day had come and we had to—wait. Here are some of the lessons I learned for just one day.
- The greatest enemy in the waiting room is boredom. You talk, laugh, tell stories, and every now and then find yourselves staring at each other, waiting for something else to say. Long periods of blanking it out interspersed with imagining "in there."
- There are so many feelings for just one day. Fear stops by in the morning and pops back in when you least expect it. Hope, love, frustration, weariness, impatience and irritation. They all pass through. All you can do is sit while they fly through your brain.
- People have truly different ideas of what the phrase "Dress appropriately" means.
- Family, friends and church members are a comfort. You don't have to say much. Just seeing a face and knowing a connection does something for you. All day long people I hadn't met from her church came by and said, over and over in a dozen ways, "We care about you." It was truly humbling. Many friends came by, and two graciously gave us over an hour of their busy lives to sit and help us laugh the time away. Three church staff came to comfort us, and they did.
- It is neat to just be "her older brother from out of town." No tie.
- Hospital food must come from a single warehouse. I had the same thing I ate the last time I had a hospital meal. Some of the vegetables seemed to be prepared to drum up extra business for the gastro unit. (Editor's note: this is better now)
- Time is timeless in a hospital. That explains why nothing starts when it is scheduled and why things go on longer than you were told (reminded me of the little Catholic boy who visited a Baptist church with his buddy for the first time. "What does it mean when the preacher takes off his watch and lays it on the pulpit?" he asked. "Don't mean anything at all," sniffed the Baptist boy.) It is why surgery feels like eternity when you are waiting on it.
- You overhear some really interesting conversations. Over in the corner a man from Jamaica recited the entire genealogy of his family to two kinswomen, loud enough for us to hear intermittently. "No, no, no, you're Uncle Elias, see, he was my brother's cousin…" That went on for two hours, forming a Caribbean Book of Chronicles until they finally, I think, got back to the present day. I believe the conversation only started with a single question about a nephew. "Sorry I asked," I imagined them saying as night fell.
- There is plenty of time to think about important things—how much you love the important people in your life, how wonderful the church can be when the chips are down, what really matters in life, and how connected we all are.
- There are a lot of people in trouble in this world. People from everywhere. People who wouldn't say hello to each other on the street smile and ask each other how it's going.
- Thinking about my friends back home praying for us helped. God truly is with us, even in the waiting room.
- 2017 update: In the waiting room, you are all the same. Democrat, Republican, affluent suburbanite, poor rural family, educated and street smart, old and tired and toddlers rambunctious. We are one in our waiting. Too bad we can't keep that in us when we go home. The man next to me is worried about his wife, the lady over there and her friend are laughing, someone else praying. If we all hang in there, we'll get through the day. Wait. Pray. Hope.
In the Flesh: A Christmas Day Sermon
This is the sermon I preached this morning, Christmas Day 2016, at 10 am at Vestavia Hills Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama. Merry Christmas to all!
NRS John 1:. 14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.
My nephew Aaron is a college student, all grown up and mature now, but when he was seven years old my sister Amy and her two boys accompanied her husband Chris on a business trip. On the way they incorporated a little vacation and stopped in Los Vegas. They went to the Hilton Hotel, which houses the world famous STAR TREK: THE EXPERIENCE
STAR TREK: The Experience is an interactive adventure based on the voyages of the most exciting futuristic television series of all time — Star Trek. Visitors are immersed in a futuristic world where they see, feel, and live the 24th century!
They walked in and her little boys were absolutely overwhelmed. They hadn't been there long when a huge man dressed as a Klingon came walking up. Now, I'm not a Star Trek fan, but many people are. Vickie never would permit us to watch anything on the television at our house involving mutants or creatures with things on their foreheads with our girls in the house, so I always waited until after bedtime to watch aliens and zombies and such. Take my word for it, though, a Klingon is an alien who looks pretty weird.
So anyway, this guy comes walking up, he's about seven feet tall with elevator platform boots on to make him taller and got that "rainy day mutant" look on his face, and he bends over to my terrified little nephews and says, "Where are YOU from, little boy?" And Aaron's trembling mouth drops open and he replies, "Earth!"
I sympathize. I have the same reaction when I think about Jesus arriving here. It's such a strange concept. Star Trek has created a whole universe out of our fascination with what's "out there." The original series began with the phrase describing the Starship Read the rest of this entry
God's Dream and Our Fear
Adapted from my newsletter column to the church this week at www.vhbc.com:
As I was looking over past writings and came upon this one, from 1994. It still seems useful for now.
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
The problem of life is not faith, but fear. Fear of failure can paralyze a talented person from ever trying. The fear of success can explain why many equally-talented people seem to sabotage themselves just on the brink of success or achievement. Psychologists tell us that fear is the root of much procrastination in the perfectionist who can never begin the task until she is a little better prepared.
Fear can keep us silent in the face of evil when we should have spoken. It is the fear of change that paralyzes our wills and reduces life to discontented mumbling against fate rather than risking ourselves to move forward. The fear of death can turn us hollow and brittle, fearful of a misstep and terrified of suffering. Fear grants a thousand deaths to a cowering heart.
Change, all change, brings fear with it. Transitions surpass our past copings and leave us exposed and vulnerable. We are once again where we find ourselves continually in life: thrown back on our wits and facing the unknown.
Every day, every week, we are facing changes as individuals, as the church, as families. The creative possibility is that in the face of change we will choose with courageous faith to trust God's new life through us rather than fear.
Parker Palmer says that "the core message of all the great spiritual traditions is 'Be not afraid'…the failure is to withdraw fearfully from the place to which one is called, to squander the most precious of all our birthrights–the experience of aliveness itself."[1]
As we look at the world around us, it is not a brilliant observation to see that we are in a time of suspicion, distrust and unkindness. The cheapness of life, the anger and fear of our culture, and the rampant selfishness of too many is easy to see. But what to do about Read the rest of this entry
Thanksgiving, Squanto and Hope
How can you not like the story of the Pilgrims? They came to America to find freedom, we remember. Religious freedom. They were "separatists," believing that the True Church must separate itself from the corruptions of the world, in particular the Anglican church and its state-supported status as an established church. They were known as "non-conformists," as in non-conformity with
the state and with the book of Common Prayer as its guide. As in, "Hey, one of us needs to watch for the sheriff."
First they went to Holland, where there was greater religious freedom. Amsterdam was a bit much for them, so next they went to Leiden. All was going well until they realized their children were speaking fluent Dutch and fitting in a little TOO well. They couldn't go back to England—only jail and more trouble with the state awaited them.
So, after a lot of political and economic negotiation, they struck a deal to go to the New World. They set sail with two ships, but one had to turn back. Only the Mayflower made it.
During the trip there were divisions between the Pilgrims, who called themselves the Saints, and the others on the trip, designated "Strangers." The Mayflower Compact was struck just to keep harmony among the differing groups.
There was great illness on the ship—at least one died en route. They left in September, went off course, and landed far off their destination—in November. Cape Cod in November can be, well, brisk, to say the least. Read the rest of this entry
Death Grief and Hope: Songs for the Shadows
We must face our losses. Courage does not spare us from them.
Courage's work begins at the other end of honest acknowledgement.
Grief can encompass many parts of life, not merely death. It is, in many ways, our most universal experience. It can be the death of dreams, grief of a way of life that ends, the end of a relationship, leaving home, moving to another town, divorce, a broken friendship. The question is, "What are we to do with it?"
I can't speak for people who have no faith in God, but I will admit that having faith in God doesn't dispose of grief. It is just the same, just as overwhelming, the same disbelief followed by disintegration and despair and a long struggle to put life together again.
One verse of scripture I have found meaningful is this one:
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 1 Thess. 4:13
I take great comfort that it does not say, "Don't grieve, you're a Christian," but I have heard many a well-meaning minister stand up and talk about death like it was a flu shot. Death is real, it is irreversible, it is disheartening. I don't think dismissing reality is a good idea. It has a way of showing up again with reinforcements.
The denial of death is, as Ernest Becker said, the most pervasive of human failings, and the most futile. The Apostle Paul said, very intentionally, that we should not "grieve as those who have no hope." Instead, I would assume, we should grieve as people who DO have hope. Read the rest of this entry
Someone asked me for this short paragraph from my sermon yesterday. I thought I might as well share it with you all, for what it's worth. I was focused on the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah, which speaks of the challenges of leadership and the power of the Living God to help us. I said, toward the end, these words:
"There is always hope, but it never comes without cost or pain or struggle. There is always a future, but never at the expense of our past. There is always Presence, but it is not always comforting and pleasant. There is always a way forward but it is never found by evasion or running away from the hard places."
They are my words, not a quote. They come from my experience of life, both the good and the disappointing parts of myself I've known. I hope they help you. Two other great quotes I used:
I heard an ad executive on Ted Talks say this: "Poetry makes new things familiar and familiar things new."
And this one from G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man "Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave." Don't worry so much when things get torn up.
Or, as Leonard Cohen said in his wonderful lyric, "Anthem,"
Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
Be Like The Samaritan
How providential that today's lectionary text is the story of the Good Samaritan and my children's sermon on the book Amazing Grace, about a little African American girl named Grace who is told that she cannot be Peter Pan in the class play because she's a girl and she's black. Thank you, God, for divine nudges to our hearts.
I am a long way from the events in Louisiana, Minnesota and Dallas, but I want to do something. I offer this prayer from my book, "A Prayer for Justice" POEMS, PRAYERS AND UNFINISHED PROMISES," p. 63. If you would like a copy of the book, I intend to give all that I receive from the book this week as a donation to the families of the slain officers in Dallas, and the two shootings in Baton Rouge and Minneapolis. To order go to my page on facebook. May the God who brings peace from all hate and pain bless all those hurting today and bring the justice that is blessing for all.
Mighty God,
Whose eyes see into our deepest motives
and whose justice is without exception in requirement,
we come as those who have tasted mercy
And now are asked to live it in truth—
People of forgiveness, in the sojourn to wholeness
And learning to live as real neighbors with one another.
Today we listen to what You ask of us all—
To love You truly and with all that we are
and to love our neighbors as ourselves
We need Your help
To see our neighbors, beyond our own self-preoccupation;
To hear cries of pain that are sometimes hidden
by respectability or ignorance or indifference
Make us people who do what is right
beyond what is required and in spite of what we fear.
A children's book of the Good Samaritan we read our children ended with Jesus saying to his hearers, "Be like this Samaritan." I want to help. I'm going to do what I can. I hope you will.
In Memory of a Dhogg
My kids are headed our way from NY for the holiday, but had the sadness of the death of their beloved dog, Mara. Mara had lived a good, long life, and like any family pet, had the run of the house. When our oldest granddaughter was born in Seattle five years ago, I was given the couch as my sleeping quarters, and she slept next to me on the floor, licking my hand regularly through the night, which, if not a regular experience, is a bit of a start for a sleeping person. Burglar or beloved, a licked hand is terrifying.
Eventually over those happy days we became friends and I would return the greeting in my sleep with a perfunctory half dozen strokes. These creatures who live with us accompany us in life, become part of the furniture of our homes. We miss them when they are gone.
It was time, as that time always comes, and Mara had no regrets. I reminded my daughter that marah could be taken as the Hebrew word for "bitter," but Mara seemed remarkably sanguine toward the discomforts and outrageous fortunes of human beings and their ways. And she had it good–her own facebook page as Mara D Dhogg, the run of the house, better medical care than any except Read the rest of this entry
A Prayer for the Victims of the Orlando Shooting
We pray today for these victims and their families— not gay or straight, black or white, Democrat or Republican, Christian or Jew or Muslim or none of the above, but as You see them–beloved sons, daughters, friends, sisters, brothers, neighbors, and most of all, fellow Americans.
As a minister, writer, and songwriter, I am always vexed when events of great magnitude happen. What words are adequate for such a moment? The shootings in Orlando, done by a single darkened soul under the sound and fury of evil ideology left us once again speechless. Except, everywhere, we started talking, typing, blaming, searching for answers. Many offered easy ones, mostly the same ones, and few people seem to change their minds. "If only everyone would…."
But the children, sisters, brothers and friends are still dead. I have searched my own soul, and pondered, "What more can I do?" There have been, according to a report I heard 133 mass shootings in the US (four or more murdered) in this year. Terror, violence, hatred, fear, loathing of people we don't know or understand.
Another Day of Terror: Holy Week Reflection
I woke up to the bad news from Brussels, Belgium today. We are so numbed to the violence on our globe, we have to wonder about the ambivalent gift of "information." There is no time to digest, reflect, pray, consider. We are, instead, an endless echo of bad news cycles, compounded by the "unsocial media" that encourages the worst among us to speak loudly even if it is unworthy to hear. Here is the reflection I sent to my congregation today:
The recurring horror of terrorism is found in the terrorists themselves. They are, finally, demented haters of life, of humanity, of our collective existence—that is the essence of terrorists' acts. There is nothing in them but absolute despair of hope, and the desire to destroy it in all others for the sake of fantastic delusions of forcing the hand of the universe to bend to their will. There is nothing at the end of
their action except death and blood.
They are not new. Throughout all of history, they have killed, as governments and society seek to kill them in response. On and on the fatal disaster continues, hopelessly. It is into Holy Week that the latest delusion happens. In Brussels the fanatics strike civilization once more, convinced that they will prevail, and destined absolutely to fail.
Of all weeks, this one should comfort those who believe in Christ Jesus. Of all people, we began in a story of unjust death, amid terrorists who led people into the desert (Acts 21:38) and to the top of Masada only to die for nothing and their hopes dashed. Those who waved the palms would flee for their lives—and for what? The emptiness of a lost cause. Read the rest of this entry


text: Why Used Cars Usually Have Higher Interest RatesKristin Wong1/23/17 7:30amFiled to: CarsVehiclesNew CarsCAr buying541EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Depending on your terms, the interest on your car loan can add up quite a bit. Your rate will depend on a few different factors, and whether the car is new or used is one of them. GOBankingRates explains why used cars typically have higher interest rates. Part of the reason for higher rates is that consumers who buy used may have lower credit scores, making them quality for higher rates. It's not just that, though. New cars usually come with better incentives, which gives dealers some room to offer better terms. Plus, used cars are harder to value. Advertisement Advertisement New cars lose about 10% of their value when you drive them off the lot, according to Carfax. It's more complicated with used cars, though. They may have mechanical issues, unreported accidents, or other problems, GOBankingRates explains. They write:To mitigate the inherent risk in financing older vehicles, a lender will usually reserve the best car loan interest rate for new car buyers. Alliant Credit Union, for example, offers current auto loan rates as low as 1.99% APR with a fixed rate for new vehicles but only 2.24% APR on used vehicles, as of Jan 12, 2017.Of course, the numbers vary depending on the vehicle and your credit, but it's useful information if you're in the market for a new car or a new used car.

Two Queen Creek Migrant Education Students Receive A $1,500 Scholarship To Continue With Their Education
The Arizona Interagency Farmworkers Coalition (AIFC) was formed over 20 years ago as a collaboration between organizations in Arizona that endeavors to partner with and act as a resource for those serving the farmworker population.
One of our main goals has been to raise money for scholarships to give to high school kids in migrant education programs that plan on attending college. Each application is carefully reviewed by a committee, and the awards are handed out at a special scholarship dinner at our annual conference.
This year, at the 2016 AIFC, Inc. Educational Conference, 11 students received a $1,500 scholarship in Prescott, Arizona. Two of these students were from the Queen Creek migrant education program: Berenice Zendejas and Karla Osiris Serna.

From the gingerbread house to the cornucopia: gastronomic utopia as social critique in Homecoming and The Hunger Games.
Sarah Hardstaff explores a theme surprisingly common in children's literature: hunger, and its connections to child empowerment and disempowerment in society. Hardstaff crosses generic lines, looking at realistic fiction, dystopian fiction, and fairy tales as she explores the differing contexts of each, and how hunger and plenty affect the agency of protagonists as well as the hunger of the reader or hearer in differing circumstances. More specifically, she explores hunger as the driver of change, and the vehicle for protagonists to effect change in their lives and their worlds.

Really? I don't think I have claimed that it's in the north, just that it's cold.
Well, the volcanoes on Iceland are pretty hot, and it isn't really a tropical climate there. ^-^They tend to and even if a volcano appears in say Alaska it is still cold and doesn't have a tropical climate.
How do we know that wasn't just an assumption? There wasn't anything about the climate change in the game anyways, and nobody seemed surprised that it was cold.It's in one of the older platium news updates.
...But now we're getting waaay off-topic. o-O

Hey guys,
Hope you enjoy this game!
You can move with arrow keys or WSAD, and you can aim with the mouse to fire!
Number keys for skills, items and missiles.
And you can customize keys in the options menu!
EDIT: Thanks guys for all the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game.
I didn't think the first one could get any better but it did! Seriously you put a next gen twist on an old game style. You should make your own arcade game and sell it all around the world
Very good game
Spent some time on this game.
Got all the elite tier ships, and double blue lazer infinite bonus lock.
Infinite missiles, etc.
Kill bosses so fast lol.
I had to use bonus drop equipment, x drop, and fiery amulet to help me get tons of bonus to farm.
its fun but
the weapons are very very very weak without any bonuses its almost useless to shoot.
graphics wise it looks great a lil too flashy at times but still great.
music was nice.
but i gota say the scale in this game is horrible most of the bosses are outright taking 85% of the available screen and you cant maneuver away from weapon fire. iam at the big green boss and i cant beat him because iam boxed in and in constant bombardment , ship cant heal or fix itself and my weapons do weak damage making him practically immortal

Takes guesswork out of neck resets and bridge work! Accurately measures the distance a soundboard has lowered after the guitar is unstrung. It's important to compensate for this distance when resetting a neck or when routing a bridge saddle slot. The gauge helps you avoid time-consuming trial-and-error. Reset a neck without guesswork. The Top Deflection Gauge makes it easier to reset an unstrung acoustic guitar neck correctly. You can record a measurement at the bridge with the strings installed, and use a brace jack inside the guitar to restore the bridge to its exact original height when the strings are removed.Perform bridge work more accurately. By using the gauge and a brace jack to simulate string tension, you can contour the bottom of a new bridge to more closely match the soundboard surface. When you rout the saddle slot, you'll know the bottom of the slot will be flat—that's important for good tone, and critical for undersaddle transducer pickups.Keep your banjo sounding good: The gauge indicates banjo head deflection precisely—you can use it to record the head tension that makes your banjo sound its best.Three holes in each end of the aluminum beam adapt the Top Deflection Gauge for a variety of soundboard widths, and a swiveling foot allows free-standing use. The dial indicator is super-accurate to .001", with adjustable zero point. The gauge measures 14" x 1" x 1/2" (355.6mm x 215.4mm x 12.7mm).Instructions are included.
Great for checking & setting the neck relief...and a whole bunch more By Donald from Danbury, CT Saturday, June 04, 2016 I use this tool to check and set the neck relief, and a half-dozen other constant uses; I learned this from my Teacher, Frank Finocchio, who is not known by some, but THE best teacher of the Guitarmaking craft.
Accuracy Imperitive By Christopher from Lancaster, PA Tuesday, March 08, 2016 Verified Buyer I purchased the Top Deflection Gauge to use in conjunction with the Neck Set Gauge already owned for a detailed record of existing condition of a 1937 Gibson L-00 which required a neck re-set. Along with the Erlewine Neck Jig and S/M Brace Jack accurate stress load conditions were simulated during the repair. Stew Mac tools are the backbone of my Luthier specific tool collection.
Precise measurement for neck reset By Christopher from Lancaster, PA Saturday, February 27, 2016 Verified Buyer I use this in conjunction with the neck set gauge and the neck jig work station for accurate neck resetting. Stew Mac tools are abundant in my shop.
High quality specialized tool By Greg Robinson - Guitar & Amplifier from Melbourne, Australia Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Verified Buyer This tool doesn't get a lot of use in my shop, but for critical undersaddle pickup installations, this is a must have tool.

When patrons go to a circus they come away with visions of performers, spangles, spotlights, and the smell of popcorn, but there is much more to a circus. There are people. People from many backgrounds, nations, religions, and customs. We are a multi-cultural society all working together to put on a circus performance.
Think about the many skills necessary to move a circus. It takes managers, performers, musicians, concessionaires, mechanics, electricians, welders, wardrobe makers, cooks and the list goes on and on.
This web site is intended to be about Circus People, the people that for many generations have made the circus an American tradition. The individuals and families who have devoted their lives to the circus.
On this site we will attempt to introduce you to these people. You will learn about the acts they did, the circuses and sideshows they operated, the triumphs they achieved and the hardships and tragedy they endured.

For the age when healthy romance first begins to be appreciated, there is nothing in English literature more appealing than the fine old story of the Doone robbers, and the little daughter of the outlaws who captured the heart of honest John Ridd.

How to Prevent the New Year Divorce
Tipped off by Elvis Presley that not everyone is merry at Christmas, churches are increasingly tending to those who are hurting over the holidays. Their "Blue Christmas" services acknowledge that pain rarely takes a day off and, in fact, can intensify at precisely the season when the whole world seems happy.

The Summer Sun Is Slow To Fall
T O P - Backstage
J E A N S - Levi's
S H O E S - New Look
B A G - Primark
Hey Guys!
So as you can probably tell, I've been loving wearing bright neon colours recently and this top is a particular favourite! It's actually my Mums which she purchased from a boutique in Hampton Court and I thought I would steal it for the day. The designer 'backstage' do plenty of really simple, minimal basics in gorgeous bright colours and I think these are timeless items which are perfect for summer year after year no matter what trends are around. It's really flowy and perfect for a day like today when it was boiling hot! I honestly think there was a point where I was sizzling like chicken on a BBQ stand. Blimey! I'm so glad we are finally getting a bit of sun though, it's about time!
I do realise I use this bag a lot haha, but its so roomy and easy to grab as I know it's going to go with whatever I am wearing.
I filmed a vlog last week with my sister when we went shopping, it's nothing amazing but I thought some people might like to watch it. I tried to upload it on Friday but the blogger video thing didn't seem to work so I think I'm going to have to upload it to youtube then post it on here. If anyone knows any easier ways of getting videos up onto here then please let me know because I'm planning on doing many more :)
I hope everyone is well and enjoying the sun!
Lots of Love,

Solar Installation for Homeowners
Right now – when it comes to considering a solar installation on your property – we've got a "perfect storm."
The prices of non-renewable energy sources continue to rise – significantly, I might add.
Let's take a look at some facts from the U.S.Department of Energy – and hopefully, this information will help you with your decision about a solar installation.
First – energy consumption versus energy production. From 1949-2009, the gap between the energy we consume and the energy we produce has continued to broaden. With that kind of increasing demand – prices for non-renewable energy sources have, of course, risen.
Petroleum, natural gas and coal make-up about 88-percent of the consumption. Solar energy use (which is essentially free after the cost of your solar installation) is only about .1-percent.
So why haven't more homeowners added a solar installation to their properties?
For many years, the cost of the equipment for a solar installation was exorbitant. Let's face it. Homeowners aren't going to proceed with a solar installation if they won't eventually get a return on their investment – am I right?
Fortunately, in recent years technology has brought us to the point where equipment costs for solar energy systems have decreased – making it feasible for a homeowner to strongly consider their own solar installation.
In fact, solar installations are on the rise – nearly doubling in the past five years.
I told you there's a perfect storm. There's another significant factor to consider:
Right now, there are lots of financial incentives available for solar installations. Some are in the form of equipment rebates; others are special financing programs through city, county, state, and federal government; and others are in the form of special tax incentives (from property taxes to income tax credits).
Depending on where you live – you might be able to take advantage of rebates, special financing programs, and tax incentives that make a solar installation within your reach.
Like I said – it's a "perfect storm." Increasing prices for non-renewable energy – plus lower equipment costs due to better technology – plus rebates and incentives – all combine to make this a good time to evaluate a solar installation.
Whether you're considering solar heaters for a swimming pool or hot tub; solar outdoor lighting; solar water heating; solar space heating; solar electricity; or an overall solar energy system – now is the perfect time to consider it carefully.
I have a simple goal – to help educate consumers about their options with solar energy, to help you make a really well-informed decision about your own solar installation, and to continually provide information about the latest news in the solar energy industry.
I hope you join the conversation! Please leave your comments and questions below. If you do proceed with a solar installation – please share your story and your photos Click Here to share your Solar Installation Story.

It's Only Make Believe Lyrics
Artist: Conway Twitty
Album: Beneath, Between, Beyond
People see us everywhere they all think you really care
But myself I can't deceive I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me but it's only make believe
My hopes my dreams come true my life I give for you
My heart or wedding ring my all my everything
My heart I can't control you lure my very soul
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me but it's only make believe
My one and only prayer...

What our Customers Say about our Service |
"I ordered 3 Halloween hampers & was amazed at how wonderful they were. I am in London/UK & ordered them for delivery into the USA... the whole process & delivery went without a problem. Thank you so much!" Maria Yianni - London, UK - Dec 18, 2012 "Thank you for the wonderful service you provided in sending the flower gift basket that I ordered. Not only did the flowers arrive at the time requested, but I also learned that they were absolutely Gorgeous." Shirley B. - Shreveport LA, USA - May 9, 2009 "I am extremely happy ! The order I placed was delivered today to my family in Tuscany ! This was the first time I dealt with Giftbasketoverseas.com so I was a little reluctant, but very hopeful it will work. They delivered it promptly, just as requested, today, at the right address of my brother's house. I think they were too thrilled about it and decided to check it later so they did not notice my card, I will check again with them tomorrow, for it's got its rightful place: under the Christmas tree along with the rest of the gifts ! :) " Mara B. - Canada - Dec 23, 2014 "My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. " Oranit - USA - Mar 11, 2010 Read more testimonials or leave your feedback here. |

How many presentations have you sent, without the other person actually checking them out? A bit embarrassing during the follow-up call; either for them, or for you. Let's change that
Be it for employee on-boarding, learning material, safety instructions or important SHA material. You can finally see if somebody took the time to go through it thoroughly.
We keep track of any activity up to the second for you. That way you'll also know what people were interested in, or maybe struggled with.
We present background information from the net about your lead, so you can make much faster a decision on if he's really worth spending your time on.
Sending files through email can be thrilling, especially when you don't want anybody to pass on your important documents. pitchXO helps you exactly with just that.
Let's face it; people hate passwords. And those also get shared around. What doesn't get shared around are social accounts of professionals. So let's use that to your advantage, so you can see exactly who views your slides. For leads without social logins, we offer email login with one-time PINs. That way you know that the right person gets access to your material.
Only want to know who sees it, but don't want them to wait? Simply auto-approve anybody who signs up on your pitchXO page. Want a little bit more control? Then approve every person easily from your email inbox, after reading up on their background info.
We didn't like only getting feedback on the whole presentation. So many details were lost in that advice. Now you can get very specific feedback on specific parts of your slides.
Knowing which slides are popular, tells you also something about which other slides need a little bit more work. Or is there a particular slide where you keep losing interest? Now you'll know.
Anybody viewing your deck, can click on specific areas on it, and ask you very targeted questions about it easily. Typos, missing sources and mistakes become a thing of the past.
Sending an email with your latest business plan or sales strategy might not look very professional. That's why you can share your slides in your company branded area for that final professional touch.
When you send a link to your material you don't want to advertise other services at the same time. Instead, simply use your own company domain for that. Easily.
Sending 10MB files to people who might be interested? Easy way to clog a mobile inbox and land in spam directly. There's better ways for that.
Adjust your personal area with your own company branding. Be it your logo or your company's color scheme; it should look a bit more professional than another company's logo over your documents.
"Gathering all material in one place, accessible from any platform, with lead tracking and newsletter distribution has taken our investor communication to the next level"
-- Henrik Zillmer, Founder of Airhelp, a Y Combinator Company - @henrikzillmer
"Keeping track of over hundred investors while building a financial startup would never have been possible without pitchXO."
-- Torben Pedersen, Co-Founder Capital Aid, a $500M Factoring Firm
"We love using pitchXO, a great and professional service!"
Niels Boon, CFO at itembase, an e-commerce startup

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A disabled Baltimore woman is dead after being attacked by her own dog. But this isn't the first time the dog has attacked.
Rochelle Ritchie spoke with neighbors stunned and saddened by her tragic death.
Terry Douglass, 56, is dead after police say her dog mauled her to death. It happened at a home on the 2000-block of E. 30th Street.
Neighbors say her dog, Boosie, is the killer.
"You raise it from when it's young. You never expect something like that to happen," a woman said. "And me having dogs of my own — whether it's pit bulls, German Shepherds or the little shih tzus or anything — I've never experienced nothing like that. It's just sad."
Baltimore City Police say the woman, who was wheelchair bound, died Friday morning.
According to Baltimore City health officials, this isn't the first time the dog has attacked. Last year, the dog bit Douglass and her grandson.
In April, the dog bit the child after he went to pick up food that had been dropped on the floor.
In a statement to WJZ, health officials say after being quarantined for 10 days, "the owner was adamant in getting the dog back."
"It was sad. I've seen the lady before. She's always been really nice, pleasant, one of the good neighbors," a woman said.
Neighbors say nothing but positive things about Douglass, who reportedly suffered from cerebral palsy. They are in disbelief over her horrific death.
"Really sad. It's just really sad. She's a nice lady," a neighbor said.
The dog was shot with a tranquilizer and later died.
The dog is now being checked for rabies.
