By Andrea Brown, Herald Writer
Hot dog! It's finally summer.
The season of fun, mischief and mayhem.
After months of being cooped up inside, playing outdoors is a tonic for all ages.
But there's also a dark side: Cuts. Burns. Bug bites. Heat stroke. Dehydration.
It's enough to make your head swim with worry.
Start by summer-proofing your kids and yourself.
"In general, the most common injuries tend to be involved around water. Either not drinking enough water or water recreation," said Dr. Douglas Pepple, family and sports medicine physician at the Lake Stevens Everett Clinic.
Keep a survival kit in the car with water, sports drinks and other essentials, such as antiseptic, bandages, sunscreen, bug spray, tweezers and adult pain relievers (parents get more headaches in the summer).
This preparation saves a last-minute trip to the store, where you might be tempted to leave the kids in the car while you just "run in" for a few things.
Never leave children unsupervised in a car, Pepple said. Cars heat up quickly, and so do kids.
"They have an increased risk of heat stroke compared to adults," he said.
Sure, taking children inside the store has its perils. It's harrowing just walking through the parking lot swarming with distracted drivers amped up by the sunshine.
Once inside the store, the kids beg for candy that they can choke on and plastic swords to swing with reckless abandon.
So stash that bag of essentials in the car before heading to the park, playground or beach.
The beach is a land mine in itself. Wear shoes to shield tootsies from broken glass and bottle caps hidden in sand and rocks.
Going in the water? Use common sense. Really, it's that simple. Don't drink while driving a boat. Wear life jackets that fit properly.
"An arm floatie or inner tube is never a substitute for a life jacket," Pepple said.
Be wary of the weather. Head inside if you see a lightning flash or hear thunder.
Slather on the sunscreen. Repeat often. Wear a hat, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing.
Dress the kids in bright colors to make them visible.
Drink up. Take frequent water breaks. "If you're thirsty, you're already behind," Pepple said.
Mukilteo mom Marla Tam-Hoy Barhoum makes safety a family affair.
She gets her daughters, Hana, 4, and Leila, 2, in the act by letting them choose the designs and colors of items such as water bottles and bandages.
"It makes it special," she said.
Barhoum has all the safety bases covered with the dynamic duo. The girls wear helmets on scooters, rubber-soled shoes on the beach and fitted flotation devices in the pool.
Still, things happen, even on routine romps at the playground.
Hana's joy of mastering the monkey bars quickly changed to woe when her hands started stinging with blisters.
It wasn't anything that a princess Band-Aid couldn't fix.
Summer safety tips
1. Maintain adequate hydration before, during and after exercise. If you wait to drink until you are thirsty, you're already dehydrated. For hikes of four or more hours, use hiking shoes or boots, and take a daypack with lunch and plenty of fluids and electrolytes. Wear light synthetic trousers if you anticipate overgrowth.
2. When swimming, keep your child in sight. In open water, use the buddy system.
3. When boating, and when children are swimming in open water, use a life vest. In your vest, do the "touchdown" test: If it touches your ears or chin, it's too loose or too big.
4. Don't mix boating and alcohol. Most boating-related accidents are alcohol-related.
5. If someone overheats, provide generous cool drinks and get the person indoors. If the person cannot drink, give an ice bath immediately, then seek medical attention.
6. Head indoors if you count 30 seconds or less between lightning and thunder. Don't head back out until it's been 30 minutes since the lightning and thunder have passed.
7. Get a tetanus shot at least every 10 years.
8. Make sure summer toys are age-appropriate, with no small parts or choking hazards for small children. For any riding toy, people-powered or motorized, always use a helmet.

Chris Christie's Delicate Social Issues Dance
By now, everyone knows how to do the Republican presidential hokey pokey: You put your right foot in. You take your right foot out. You put your right foot in and you shake it all about—preferably while railing against immigration reform, Obamacare, gun control, abortion, Big Government, or whatever stew of left-wing evils happens to be roiling Sean Hannity's Facebook page that day.
Later, after assuring the base that you share its no-compromise, anti-Obama rage, you can start working to woo back the electoral center: maybe you don't put your left foot all the way in, but you at least stop shaking the right half of your body quite so violently.
Gov. Chris Christie knows the dance. He's watched the dance. He's sneered at the dance. And now, as he lays the groundwork for 2016, America's "hottest" political leader is ever so delicately attempting to choreograph his own variation.
Over the past week or so, as much of the political class luxuriated in the relative serenity of Congress's summer recess, Christie executed a trio of policy moves on ticklish social issues that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum.

In Honor of Veterans Day: 12 Celebs Who Have Served in the Military
Friday is Veterans Day, so we've assembled some of our favorite celebs who have served in the military over the years. Did you know that Julia Child was a spy? True story!
-Lucia Peters
You know what today is? Yep: It's Veterans Day, the official day that the United States honors any and all military vets. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Reserves: They're all worthy of honoring. As a salute to all everyone who has served their country over the years, we've assembled a gallery of our favorite celebs who have also done just that. Happy Veterans Day, Bettys!
1. Drew Carey: Marine Corps
Funnyman Drew Carey wasn't always the success he is today. He went to Kent State University, but was expelled not once, but twice for poor academic performance—after which he enrolled in the US Marine Corps Reserve. He served primarily on weekend duty for six years between 1981 and 1987. After he finished, he made his comedic debut on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, and the rest, as they say…
2. Hugh Hefner: Army
Long before he became the smoking-jacket-wearing Playboy mogul we know him as, Hef was actually a writer first and foremost. After he graduated high school in 1944, he went right into the Army as a writer for a military newspaper. He stayed there for two years, after which he went to the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, graduating with a B.A. in psychology and a double minor in art and creative writing. Talk about ambition!
3. Paul Newman: Navy
Paul Newman and his stunning baby blues served in the Navy in the Pacific theatre during World War II. His color blindness prevented him from being accepted for pilot training, but he made an excellent radioman and gunman, eventually serving aboard the USS Bunker Hill during the Battle of Okinawa in the spring of 1945. He also narrowly escaped death: After being ordered to the ship with a draft of replacements shortly before the Okinawa campaign, his pilot developed an ear infection, causing him to be held back. The men who remained in his detail were killed in action.
4. Bea Arthur: Marine Corps
Golden Girl Bea Arthur had the honor of being one of the first members of the Women's Reserve branch of the Marine Corps during the Second World War. Though for years she denied any military service, it recently came out that during her 30 months with the Marine Corps, she spent time as both a typist and a truck driver. Her recruitment officer described her as "argumentative" and "over-aggressive," but also concluded that she was "probably a good worker—if she has her own way!" Sounds like the Bea we all know and love!
5. Gene Kelly: Navy
Gene Kelly has the Navy to thank for developing his interest in the production end of filmmaking. He was already an established star in Hollywood in 1944, but that didn't stop him from enlisting in the US Naval Air Services, where he became a lieutenant junior grade. He spent his time in the Photographic Section in Washington, where he wrote and directed a whole range of documentaries about such subjects as war-wounded veterans. He put his newfound skills to work when he returned to Hollywood after the war, directing and starring in such hits as On the Town.
6. Chuck Norris: Air Force
It should surprise no one that professional badass Chuck Norris spent time in the military. In fact, the military is probably where Chuck learned to be a badass in the first place: He joined the US Air Force as an Air Policeman in 1958 and shipped off to South Korea. There, he began training in the martial art Tang Soo Do, which in turn led to a bunch of black belts and the founding of the Chun Kuk Do ("Universal Way") form. When he came back to the States, he continued to work as an AP at the March Air Force Base in California. He was discharged in 1962, after which he kicked off his career in martial arts. And from there, there was only one way to go: Up!
More celebs who served, including Morgan Freeman and Jeff Bridges, up next!

Over the centuries French design has been a standout with an eye for its detail and subsequent transformation into metal and gems. At times signature French characteristics can be found on a piece. One of those hallmarks is the use of an "X" form placed along a surface often a reeded surface. Exactly as we note here, there are four situated at intervals along the hoop.
Clearly influenced by neoclassical tenets, order, simplicity and symmetry are translated into five stylized organic elements of foliage of 18k rose and green gold. Each of the natural shapes are set with a small deep garnet colored paste and connected with twisted wire "stems". Purely sublime!

Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) Training for Managers - Chicago
BigVisible Solutions
Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:30 AM - Friday, July 12, 2013 at 5:00 PM (CDT)
As one of the largest and fastest-growing agile frameworks, Scrum is a simple, yet powerful way to boost team productivity, elevate quality, and accelerate project delivery. But, simple as it is, getting Scrum working in your environment can be hard to do. Contrary to what some of the myths may be telling you, managers are key to making Scrum work.
Our CSM for Managers course offers a detailed examination of Scrum from the perspective of management. What is the role of the manager in Scrum? How do you help your Scrum teams succeed in an environment that may or may not be ready for it? How do you effectively coach and manage "self-organizing" teams?
Upon completion of the CSM for Managers workshop, you will
Additional benefits also include:
The Scrum Framework
A detailed examination of the the Scrum project lifecycle, ScrumMaster and Product Owner role, the practices and ceremonies of Scrum, and the essential support structures of a Scrum team, and how Scrum fits within the larger release and product planning life cycle.
Essentials of Supporting Agile Teams
At the heart of effective Scrum delivery is the Scrum team itself, and providing direct support to the emergence of effective Scrum teams is of paramount importance. This often requires, what are for many, new skills and practices. Topics will include:
Creating Agile Environments
Scrum teams work within, and their performance is determined by, the organizational environment in which they work. Supporting the emergence of effective Scrum teams means designing and adjusting aspects of that environment in order to facilitate frictionless agile delivery. Topics include:
Moving Forward: Creating Structures for Fulfillment
Building upon and advancing the insights and learning of this workshop requires more than a mere 'Next Steps' conversation. What is needed is the creation of structures that will support your forward movement. In this final workshop session, we provide tools for sustained forward movement in your work as agile leaders.
Why a BigVisible Course?
BigVisible focuses on one thing: enabling organizational agility. As coaches, we understand the challenges organizations face at all phases of their agile implementations: from team-level execution and delivery, to higher-level strategy, governance, and leadership. We know that for an organization to achieve agility, people at all levels must understand agile principles and be educated about agile processes like Scrum.
Our foundational training courses are firmly rooted in the core agile principles and practices you need to achieve success, regardless of your ultimate role in the organization. In addition to this quality training, BigVisible offers comprehensive coaching services, so if you get stuck or find that you need more help applying what you've learned, you can call on us.

The stay was very quiet, no disruption
The hotel is located conveniently close to all of the centre of Devonport, and also with easy access to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry dock across the river. It is easy to get to from the Bass Highway. A good place that I will definitely stay in again and recommend to friends and business acquaintances.
value for money, rooms clean, service excellent
Views were magnificent, room was great and walking distance to everything you needed. We will be back again very soon.
Comfort, convenience, staff,and price
Customer Service was very good. Amenities were acceptable. Responsiveness Wash Basin Drain Plug was broken/dislodged. Window was slightly open and as a result bugs/flies insects came into the room after light up time.
staff were very helpful and polite. food was very enjoyable. full buffet breakfast was more than enough to satisfy anyone. walking distance to shops, town center and harbour. and for being inner city this hotel was extremely quiet. we had an enjoyable relaxing time. would stay here again without a doubt. we didnt have a problem but if hotel was full parking may be a problem, limited parking.
very comfortable and the meals were very good.we liked the press button controls.
easy access to local sightseeing noisy electrical humming from adjoining buildings
The fact that it was close to the ferry terminal made it an exellent place to stay and catch the ferry next morning
A restaurant was available on site with good food
The Edgewater Hotel was very convenient for the purpose of my stay. Room size was compact especially the bathroom but the room cost was very good value for money. I would have prefered to have an actual double bed rather than two single beds joined together
Everything about the stay was very good, plus the staff was very friendly. Everything was very good.
The staff was very helpful; we received a phone call to verify our late arrival and ensure that meals were available for us. The room was basic, but functional for a short stay. The shower stall was a little dirty, but the rest of the room was clean.
clean ,smart room,good location for access to ferry to Melbourne No dining facilities in house on Sundays and this was not advised prior to checking in

Pleasant Grove • As the Duchesne football team takes the field Saturday, only the Rich Rebels stand between the Eagles and the rarefied air of a 34th consecutive victory and a third straight 1A title.
While "the streak" doesn't come up much on Eagles' coach Jerry Cowan's radar, he thinks his kids are tough enough to withstand any perceived pressure.
"We've got a lot of hard-nosed farm kids that are tough kids and hard workers," Cowan said. "Some of them didn't have a lot of natural talent, but they have worked too hard to worry about not winning."
While running back Kaden Moon and quarterback Trent Roberts receive most of the headlines, Cowan thinks guys like Christian Mahan and Jesus Pena reflect the grit and toughness necessary to bring another title to the Eagles.
"Jesus is playing with a torn ACL," said Cowan. "Christian is one of the fastest guys on our team, and we asked him to play offensive guard this year. He hasn't complained, and he gives us a spark with his attitude."
With this bid for a third consecutive title, it seems fitting that longtime rival Rich will be Saturday's opponent. The Rebels won the 2009 title, but lost to Duchesne in overtime in 2010.
"We set our goals early in the summer with lifting and doing everything we could to get here," said Rich running back Kaden Thompson.
Rich is led offensively by a pair of seniors: running back Thompson, who has 1,008 yards and 12 touchdowns, and quarterback Austin Groll, who totaled almost 1,800 yards of total offense while scoring 26 touchdowns.
When the teams met during the regular season, they were tied at eight early in the second quarter. But turnovers by the Rich offense led to 32 unanswered points and a 40-14 Duchesne win.
"We have to play mistake-free football," Rich coach Ashley Brown said. "All week we've been telling our kids they have to believe they can with every snap."
Duchesne's Roberts rushed for almost 500 yards this season, eclipsed the 1,000-yard passing mark and had a 16-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
"That's the most we've thrown it around in the nine years I've been here," Cowan said.
While Rich runs its offense from a wishbone, Duchesne runs a wing T, and both teams say they're concerned about what the opponent might have reserved, deep in their playbook, for just such an occasion.
"I think we're about as prepared as we can be now it's just time to go out and execute," said Duchesne senior tight end McKade Nielsen.

Super Bowl Scams
A pair of con artists were busted for swindling sports fans with fake Super Bowl tickets. The criminals, Damon Daniels of the Bronx and Eugene Fladger of Philadelphia, were nabbed in a sting after selling the dupes to undercover cops. Apparently the tickets were of such good quality, they'd allow fans to gain entry to the stadium (of course, fake ticket-holders would be in for a surprise when they found real ticket-holders in their seats). The crooks were also selling fake parking passes and tickets to Super-Bowl-related events. But tickets aren't the only scam to beware of leading up to the big game- authorities are also warning consumers not to get tricked into purchasing counterfeit merchandise. Fake NFL goods pop up every year, and can be tough to distinguish from the real, licensed stuff. Experts recommend keeping an eye out for ripped tags, sloppy stitching and typos.

"Strangely enough," Foucault mused, "man—the study of whom is supposed by the naïve to be the oldest investigation since Socrates—is probably no more than a kind of rift in the order of things." He is "only a recent invention, a figure not yet two centuries old, a new wrinkle in our knowledge" who "will disappear again as soon as that knowledge has discovered a new form."
Foucault's flippant requiem for "man" reflects a midcentury antihumanism in European thought, which, in the wake of two World Wars in the heart of Europe, had become suspicious of the "anthropotheism" of humanism wherein "Man" replaced the God who had died. And it is this story that is told so brilliantly by Stefanos Geroulanos in An Atheism That Is Not Humanist Emerges in French Thought. For these antihumanists, humanistic atheism had never really gotten over its theological tendencies; so the result of the death of God was the divinization of Man.

text: Mission Statement Honduras Project is a Christ-centered community that seeks to serve the Lord by encouraging, building relationships and working with the people of Honduras. This project exists because Christ first loved us and has called us to love him and to love others, and springs out of the belief that Christ's love is holistic and cares about physical needs as well as spiritual needs. History In 1979, a powerful hurricane devastated the Dominican Republic, resulting in the loss of many lives and homes. Back in Wheaton, a group of college students spearheaded and organized a public-awareness campaign with the goal of helping to provide for our neighbors in the Dominican Republic. Students raised support and materials to provide the Dominican people with temporary shelter, clothing, and food rations. This same spirit of compassion-in-action found its way to Honduras, and the Honduras Project officially began at Wheaton College in 1982. Each year since, a group of students has gone to a different rural village in the mountains of Honduras to help install a gravity-fed water system and to share the love of Christ incarnationally. The project has evolved, with the addition of a children's ministry and later a women's ministry, and will likely continue to do so. Likewise, since the project is student-led, leadership and membership has continually changed, but the heart and mission has remained the same. More information about past trips can be found on the Sites page. Find out more about this year's team.

LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Police Department and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency raided seven medical marijuana dispensary sites Wednesday afternoon, making more than 40 arrests, according to police.
The raid at about 1 p.m. targeted two locations that were being used to grow marijuana and two that had been identified by the Fire Department as uninhabitable, police said.
Police didn't provide further details.
Medical marijuana patient Daniel Palafox said he was at the Long Beach Green Room medical marijuana collective, located at Seventh Street and Rose Avenue, when it was raided. He said he saw police officers arrive with riot shields and a battering ram, though they didn't use it.
The 54-year-old, who said he uses medical marijuana for back pain and the effects of past injuries such as a broken leg and torn ligaments, said he was detained with the dispensary employees for 30 to 40 minutes before he was let go.
However, when he asked police if he would still be allowed to take his medicine with him, "They said, 'Nope, we're taking it all.'"
The raid is just the latest, though possibly the largest, crackdown on medical marijuana in Long Beach since the city's ban went into full effect in August.
The ban was a reaction by city officials to a court ruling that the city can't regulate the drug because it is illegal under federal law. City Hall had worked for two years to come up with a permitting system and regulations to control the number of collectives in Long Beach.
Once that law lost its teeth, the City Council voted to ban medical marijuana rather than risk its unregulated proliferation throughout Long Beach.

EVERETT — A suspected bank robber kidnapped an Everett Community College student at gunpoint last week, forcing her to be his getaway driver for the holdup, police say.
The student was not hurt, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said Tuesday. The man forced her to drive to several locations in north Everett, including the bank, before ordering her to drop him back off near campus. He reportedly threatened to kill her if she didn't comply.
The kidnapping took place as the student returned to her car, which was parked on a street near campus, Snell said. The suspect wielded a pistol.
EvCC officials learned about the incident late Monday afternoon, said Pat Sisneros, vice president of college services. On Tuesday they posted a notice to the college website, sent an email to students and were posting information to social media websites as well.
"We are thankful the student wasn't hurt," the notice read.
The robbery was reported just before 6 p.m. Jan. 23 at Wells Fargo Bank at 1801 Broadway, about an hour after the kidnapping.
A man walked up to a teller window, passed over a note and made threats, Snell said. The robber left with cash.
The suspect was described as black, in his 20s, about 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds. He had shoulder-length black dreadlocks, which may have been a wig, Snell said.
The man wore a dark blue beanie-style cap, a dark denim jacket, blue jeans and brown shoes. He spoke with an accent described as possibly French or African.
He left in the student's vehicle. A police dog track was unsuccessful.
After the robbery, the man reportedly ordered the student to drop him off near campus, Snell said.
She then drove to the police station to report what had happened.
Police aren't releasing the victim's age or other details to protect her identity, Snell said. He declined to say where else in town she was forced to drive other than "numerous locations around north Everett and the downtown district."
The man reportedly told the student he could find her and kill her because he knew her license plate number.
A police press release issued after the robbery didn't mention the kidnapping. Detectives were investigating.
"We would really like the public's help to solve this crime," Snell said. "Due to the nature of the crime, we wanted the public to be informed about what occurred."
Police also are working with the college, Snell said.
EvCC already has security patrols on campus, according to a post about the incident on the college's website. The college is encouraging students and staff to be extra careful getting into their vehicles on or near campus.
Anyone with information should call 911 or Everett police at 425-257-8450.

Hello All,
I was shooting stills at a beach here in South Florida recently. I was on a deck shooting pans across the whole beach, which consisted of a lot of young people, both girls and guys, playing volleyball, sunning, surfing, etc. The water and light were perfect, and the colors were just amazing.
About 5 minutes into it, a middle aged woman (in a bikini way too small for her, I might add) came storming up onto the deck, cursing me, calling me a pervert, and shouting all kinds of epithets at me- I thought she might turn violent. Where is a cop when you need one? Anyway, I calmly told herI had a right to be there, and even offered to show here the photos on my SLR screen, if it would make her feel better- of courseI had no obligation to do that, but I was taken off guard by her attack. After she felt like she had berated me enough, she returned to her blanket, packed up and left. But I was NOT leaving, not like that.
Her reasoning was that I had no right to be taking photos of people in a public place. I told her she was incorrect- and later found out that the entire beach and the exact place she had been sitting are on a city sanctioned webcam!
Owing to the fact that it is a public beach, covered by a webcam, and I was not using these photos for any commercial purpose, who is in the right here? Was she just jealous of all the younger women on the beach? Is this a case of my civil liberties being violated?
We actually had an interesting discussion on this not too long ago. Here's a link.
From what professional advice I have looked into, there's a general assumption that if you are in a public place, your rights to privacy are pretty much flung out the window. Especially places like beaches or popular tourist attractions, where it's almost a certainty that there are a half-dozen cameras rolling. Additionally, if you're zoomed out so far that you can't even make out who the people are, you should be more than safe. I've been told that it's definitely best to get rlease forms for anyone you can make out on a video, ESPECIALLY if that video is going to be publically displayed. The bottom line is that you have every right to tape in public places, as does anyone else who goes to that place. If people show up in that place, there's an assumption that they realize this right.
Of course, with all touchy matters such as this, your best advice if you want to know the "right way" to do things is to speak with a lawyer. They'll tell you the law, and you can decide if you're within your rights to tape. Having said that, I tape in public all the time, and I've never been sued.
The are no rights to privacy in public places. That's why they're called public places. There's also no expectation of privacy in public places to normal non whacked-out people that don'twear clothes way too small for them and aren't confused towhere they are.
Next time, simply tell her you'rea reporter (for your website, local paper,or whatever). It gets rid of them quickly. News reporters have privileges that transcend all others.

Sounds as if the woman in the tight bikini might have an idea where the doughnut shop is :-)
I get all the footage or photos I need, simply by asking interesting subjects in public places for permission (BEFORE the fact) if I can videotape or photograph them, and I usually keep a basic model release form handy for them to sign.
Somewhile back, during a visit to San Francisco, I was on a faces kick, and wanted, or thought I did, to maybe create a coffee table photography book (been done before, but not with MY subjects, POVs, artistry, yada, yada...) of interesting (subjective) faces for it. I came up with all the material I could want but the project didn't pan out - long story short they were flattered, didn't request compensation, and after reading the simple release form usually signed it without hesitation.
A few pulled the hands-in-the-face routine, while others were not necessarily friendly or nice, but didn't pull a Mel Gibson on me either. It IS better to be safe, but if you can defend yourself physically shoot all you want in public places.
You are right peachy.I do beach shooting every day on public property.
If a person is upset about it too bad for them.I, like you have the right too
film them like it or not. A person may threaten too call the police but a normal
response here is go right ahead I've done nothing wrong.
As long as you know the property you are on.You will have no troubles.
If I can do it like this now. Wait till I learn what i'm doing.
Sadly, however, it simply isn't always going to be THAT simple Artook. Being on the right side of the rules or laws isn't necessarily going to protect you under some circumstances. Like I said, if you are capable of defending yourself, stand your ground. If you have doubts...
...I mean there are people now days who'd just as soon shoot you as to look at you. Depending on how badly a person is foaming at the mouth it is sometimes best to just walk away.
Just start yelling "Somebody call the police, I accidentally just filmed this prostitute making business deals, and now I'm being threatened... then ask her calmly if SHE likes being falsely accused...."
Earl makes a great point. Having the right to shoot doesn't always mean it's the right course of action.
I'm one of those "win more flies with honey" types. On the very rare occasion, I have had somebody question me about shooting in public. Okay, it only happened one time, as I was shooting a subway station in New York. Just getting a wide scenery shot, and this lady asks me why I'm filming her. So instead of getting all defensive about my right to shoot in public, I asked her if she had ever done any acting, and I proceeded to lay on the schmooze extra thick-like. I whipped out a business card for our production studio, and told her we were scouting out the location for a potential film we're putting together. I then told her that if she was interested, we could do a quick screen test and I'd make sure my superiors got that along with the scouting footage. At this point I expected her to just take off, but she said "sure, why not?"! So, I was going to need a new MetroPass card soon anyhow, so I gave her some cash, and we shot a sequence of her buying a pass, going through the turnstyles, and getting on the train. I got her info and told her that I'd pass it on to the higher ups.
So, most of what I told her was pure flattery and unadulterated falsehood, but it worked. Instead of creating a scene because I was filming, she um, well, created a scene FOR my filming. Of course, having our business cards and a $3000 camera lent to my credibility - I think had I been using a consumer handycam I would've been more hard pressed to get her to swallow that pill. My only regret was not having her sign a release form. It was actually a really neat sequence, and had I gotten her release, I almost certainly could have used it for something. I did use it in the vacation video we shared with friends and family, but without that release, you can't do anything public without risking getting in trouble.
I just want to say thanks to all for the great responses. The woman was just so ugly about it, and in my face so fast that it took me by surprise.
All this is really good advice, I'd just like to add that the rules WILL change if you're shooting children. Please be careful when video-taping children, you can easily be picked up and run through the legal ringer and possibly worse if your subjects are children in various stages of skimpy swim-suit or undressed. I once did a news story on a guy who was arrested for video-taping kids at the out-door shower at a public beach as they attempted to clean the sand from their swim-suits. He thoguth it was cute, a mother [and cop] who saw him didn't. He was arrested, his tape scrutinized in court, he was labled a pedophile and had to register as a sex offender.

I wanted to shoot a face-painter Sunday painting some toddlers...noticed nervous mothers hovering around...decided not to shoot...found much better subject matter the next block...would have missed it if I hadn't left the face-painter immediately...dobros are very heavy

That's the cost of a society where parents have become super advocates for their coddled, spoiled brats. In understand protecting children, but if you so much as smile at a child in line at the grocery store, the parents immediately assume you have evil intentions.

Is there a way to customize the text size on your computer? I have Windows 7 Ultimate, and it only gives me 3 text sizes to choose from: 100%, 125% or 150%. I would like it to be less than 150%, but more than 125%.
While some programs, such as your web browser, have options for changing text sizes, these solutions aren't optimal if you need larger text everywhere -such as on your Start menu or in the various Windows folders. To accommodate users who don't want small text on the screen, Windows 7 features the ability to manually choose several preset text sizes larger than the standard "100%" setting. But what the operating system doesn't plainly explain is that you aren't limited to just those preset options. If one preset size is too big and the next one down is too small, you can manually create your own perfect size.
The option to change your text size is located inside your computer's "Control Panel," which is accessed inside the "Start" menu.
Inside the Control Panel window, locate the icon positioned on the right side of the screen of a blue monitor. Click the heading next to the icon labeled "Appearance and Personalization."
This new window provides a series of links to access features for changing how your operating system displays images on your screen. To reach the options for changing text sizes, click the "Display" link, which is located near the top of the window above the "Desktop Gadgets" heading.
The right side of the "Display" window contains two of the preset text size options, but ignore these radio buttons as they won't help you set a custom size. Instead, click the "Set Custom Text Size" link at the far left side of the window.
At the top of the new window you will find a box labeled "Scale to This Percentage of Normal Size." Although it seems like this option should let you choose a custom size, it only gives you the ability to choose between "100%," "125%," and "150%." Even typing a custom size in the box won't change the text size, as it will automatically revert to the nearest preset option. For instance, if you type "140%" it will automatically switch back to "150%."
Instead of trying to change the box, you need to click anywhere on the ruler icon located directly underneath the box and drag your cursor toward the right to increase the size, or toward the left to decrease the size. Drag your cursor slowly until you reach the desired custom size, such as "122%" or "135%." Click the "OK" button to save your change.
Depending on your Windows profile settings, your change may not immediately take effect. If the text size on your screen hasn't changed, restart the operating system to apply the new custom text size.

You would be hard pressed to find a worse combination than Dina and Michael Lohan, but Kate Major and Michael Lohan is going to rival that. I'm sure Michael will sell whatever photos he can to whoever will buy them and if he is only offered $2000 than in his mind it is $2000 more than he had the day before. If he tells Kate they only got $500, then so much the better. I feel so sorry for Landon Major Lohan. The kid is going to be beyond messed up.

Consider the following
class A {
public function foo() {
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
echo 'repeat '.$i;
Indenting (whether vi as above or open emacs style) is used to make code more readable. Recently though I had to point out another use to a coworker that I thought was obvious - temporary test code that you intend to delete later shouldn't be indented. That makes it stick out like a sore thumb to be spotted and removed later...
class A {
public function foo() {
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
if ($i == 5) { echo 'stop'; exit; }
echo 'repeat '.$i;
I like this idea! I don't know if it's obvious or not, but it's definitely something I'm going to start doing. Nice tip!
I thought the best way was to embed test/debug code IN your code, and test for a debug flag? (The overhead is likely minimal).
//Set debug flag status
class A {
public function foo() {
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
if ($debug) {
if ($i == 5) { echo 'stop'; exit; }
echo 'repeat '.$i;
That way you can turn debug on/off as needed. Of course, the debug code could still be non-indented.
Interesting tip, I'll give it a try!
BTW, for this purpose it would be great to be able to insert a new line without indentation - for example, I couldn't find a way to insert a new line without auto-indenting in Netbeans. So I recorded a simple macro consisting of two key presses: Enter and Home, and assigned it shift+control+Enter shortcut. This should work in most other IDE's, too.
I've always used TODO comments that several IDEs support
// TODO: Remove this, its used for testing
Then once I'm ready to checkin my changes, I check the project for TODO comments (through the TODO panel -- both phpStorm and Visual Studio support this)
I've also used the technique @siteguru ; suggested, except I use a constant define('DEBUG', true) and I have the constant disabled by default in Production. That way I can mimic the follow that exists in Visual Studio
There's a few problems with this approach, firstly if the code is moved to a system where $debug is never set at all (to true or false) it will cause errors. Secondly, developers are lazy. They'll leave in if ($debug) blocks and turn debug off... when the next developer comes along and adds a new $debug block, turns on debug mode... they may suddenly get behaviour that didn't exist prior to turning debug on because it had been left in by a previous developer.
The same is true if you accidentally leave your unindented code in... Except you can't turn it off on Prod as quickly as using a constant/variable to control it. Personally, I'd even go one step further and create an Environment variable so you can use $_ENV and have the ability to turn it off across the entire server. The issue is purely the fact that the test/debug code is being left in. The real question is, which method has less of an impact if that code made it to Production.
Unindenting it won't necessarily prevent an accidental checkin, neither will TODO or HACK comments (even if you are always checking for them before checkin) as at some point you'll get distracted and just check it in (happens to everyone). So every method has issues (to assume otherwise, is negligent).
In all reality, the best way to introduce debug/test code is DON'T DO IT. Use xDebug, set a breakpoint, profile it, don't add random code that provides nothing to the codebase.
I am currently working with the Google Youtube API and kept forgetting to upload the changed debug code...
so once bitten, twice shy and three times fix forever
# constants.php
defined('LOCALHOST') ?: define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
definded('iMAX') ?: define('iMAX', LOCALHOST ? 5 : 99999);
# myModel.php
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++):
if( $i < iMAX ):
echo 'repeat '.$i;
$iCnt = 0;
foreach($obj->result() as $item):
if( $iCnt++ < iMAX):
echo 'repeat '.$i;
This tip is for very short term test code that you probably be deleting within the hour. For example, I was setting some $GLOBALS variables to trace my way through a recursive function to find out what was going wrong. I had no intention of making them a long term addition to the code. Since I had to place them in 9 spots in the file I wanted to be sure to be rid of them.
Indeed. I've seen this happen in large systems, which is a PITA.
@siteguru If you're going to have a debug flag at least use setEnv to place it in the Apache Config file or htaccess file. This way you can't accidently transfer the variables status between live and dev environments since, presumably, the two servers will use different server config files. For example
SetEnv PNL_DEBUG
Will create $SERVER['PNLDEBUG']
This way accidental check in is less of an issue.
Mine was just a very rough-and-ready example to show a principle, not a proper implementation - a bit like the opening post really.
And not all development or production environments are Linux/Apache - some people use a Windows environment (at least for development), so no .htaccess or Apache configs. But I take what you say.
There are ways to set environment variables in IIS. They're obscure and hard to work with, but they're there. This is why Microsoft never made any real headway in the world of web servers - they're product is crap and they can't advertise their way out of the simple fact that IIS is a POS.
They're not obscure or hard to deal with....they're very easy, as a matter of fact. The only thing I thought that IIS sucks about is the URL rewrite doesn't work OOTB.
You never used setx? Or this bit: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/fastcgi/application/environmentvariables; If you do not want a GUI to set the environment variable, then you use the web.config file which is the equivalent of .htaccess.
This is why Microsoft never made any real headway in the world of web servers - they're product is crap and they can't advertise their way out of the simple fact that IIS is a POS.
Clearly you never used IIS6 or 7 and are just talking out of...the simple fact of the matter. IIS is not a POS. I've worked with both IIS and Apache regularly. Both are awesome web servers.
Dave, which version of IIS? For IIS7+ The URL Rewrite module has yet to fail me: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
+1 from me. I use it a lot! setx is by far the easiest way (in my opinion) to set an environment variable.
Another +1 (though I'm not a huge fan of 6, now that 7 is available). In 7 they may leaps and bounds to let you control IIS from the command line, and I love that! I keep a batch script now with every project so if a server fails, I just ran the batch script on the new server and the virtual directories, app pools, sites, are all setup automatically. Just have to get the code there and its able to run.
Microsoft has made huge steps in the web server market over the past few releases, and I applaud them for their effort (it paid off).
That would be why - I'm more familiar with IIS 5/6.
I've been using unindented debugging code without actually thinking about it. Since it's mostly echos and print_rs leaving it in stands out like a sore thumb so there is little danger of it being left behind. With non printing debugging code there is that danger.
The last time I was forced to look at an IIS server it was 4.
IIS 4, released in 1998 for Windows NT 4.0. Over 15 years ago. Yeah.......clearly IIS never had any updates during that time. :rolleyes:
Now for the topic at hand. If you had a smarter workflow, using xDebug (or equivalent) and a smart editor that allows you to set breakpoints and step though the code, you wouldn't need to throw debugging code into your code. Thus you never have the issue of leaving stray debugging code behind.

Wednesday's weather
January 30, 2013
Today could start with a few morning flurries, but a mix of sun and clouds is slated for the afternoon as the latest storm system exits Colorado. Once again, the heaviest snow with this round will be confined to the high country today. Highs will reach only around 40 degrees, but a blustery north wind will make it feel even colder. Scattered clouds will prevail overnight. Lows will fall to the upper teens in Greeley.
Dry weather is in store for the rest of the work week. Temperatures will get slightly warmer each day, in the upper 40s by Friday and 50s over the weekend.

Razzle-dazzle, Indian-style—that's Mumbai, the former Bombay, the country's seaside financial capital and trendsetting East-West nexus. India's greatest port and the capital of Maharashtra state, Mumbai perches on the Arabian Sea, covering an island separated from the rest of India by a winding creek. A world unto itself, Mumbai hits you with an intensity all its own. It is distinctly tropical, with pockets of palm trees and warm, salty breezes—and its culture is contemporary, vibrant, and often aggressive, reflecting both the affluence and poverty of the nearly 20 million people crowded onto this island. Behind all this, weathered Victorian mansions, some still privately owned, and grand public buildings, many beautifully lit at night, stand as lingering reminders of the British Raj.
In 1995 Bombay's name was officially changed to Mumbai, after Mumba Devi, the patron Hindu goddess of the island's original residents, the Koli fishermen. However, many residents still call their city Bombay. It's confusing, but just another chapter in the city's labyrinthine history.
Mumbai initially consisted of seven marshy islands—Colaba, Old Woman's Island, Bombay, Mazgaon, Worli, Mahim, and Parel—belonging to the Muslim kings of the Gujarat sultanate. The Muslims passed the parcel to the Portuguese (who occupied much of western India in the 16th and 17th centuries), who in turn passed it in 1661 to England's King Charles II as part of a dowry in his marriage to the Portuguese Princess Catherine de Braganza. The British established a fort and trading post that grew quickly in size and strength.
Soon enough, land reclamation joined the seven small islands into one, grafting a prototype for today's multifarious metropolis. The pride of the British in Bombay, and in their power over western India, is memorialized in the city's most celebrated landmark—the Gateway of India, built to welcome King George V to India in 1911. Ironically, it's now near a statue of the young 17th-century Marathi leader, Shivaji.
The Mumbai you see today is a city of mind-boggling contrasts: sometimes exciting, sometimes deeply disturbing. As your plane descends toward the runway, usually late at night, your first view of Mumbai takes in vast stretches of slums, stacked and piled onto each other like cardboard boxes—only a fleeting glimpse of the staggering poverty that coexists, invariably side by side, with the dazzling wealth flashed in trendy boutiques and deluxe hotels. In the neighborhoods of Churchgate or Nariman Point, Mumbai's slick hotel and business centers, a fleet of dark-suited executives may breeze by on its way to a meeting while a near-naked little girl with matted hair scavenges in the gutter beside them. A fancy department store is across the road from a group of shacks that a few hundred people call home—one customer in that store may spend more in an hour than all the people living in the shacks earn in a month. A journalist once pointed out that Mumbai is a city where the servant walking the pedigreed, handsomely groomed dog has no formal education, but his charge has been to an expensive training school.
It's important to view Mumbai in perspective. Mumbai can seem so different from the rest of India that it could be another country. It operates according to its own rules, and its pulse beats far more quickly than the rest of the country, which views it as the city of opportunity. Mumbai tantalizes millions with prospects of wealth and success. Every day, migrants arrive—be they business-school grads or laborers—to see if they too can make a life here. Apart from the city's original Maharasthrian population, every Bombayite, from the hijra (eunuch) to the taxi driver to the white-collar worker, is, as hard as it may be to believe, living out his or her dream—in a hovel or a palace. More often than not, Bombay is a place to build a better life.
For the traveller, Mumbai is both disturbingly eye-opening and incredibly exciting. Here in the heady sun and breeze of the Arabian Sea you can feast in fabulous restaurants, bargain in street bazaars, browse in exclusive boutiques, take a horse-drawn ride past stately old Victorian buildings, get lost in the stone carvings of the 7th-century Elephanta Caves, watch the sun rise over the Gateway of India, and stroll at sunset along Marine Drive's endless waterfront promenade.

Genealogy organizing gurus recommend filing originals in archival storage containers separate from your research files. But how will you ever find them again? How can you preserve and protect your family's aging documents, yet keep them accessible and in order?
I faced just that challenge after inheriting five decaying cardboard boxes bulging with old letters, photos, receipts and more. Today, the contents fill several archival-quality file and flat storage boxes, yet they take up less space than the original grocery store cartons did and are preserved for decades to come. How did I do it? Follow my four-step CARE plan to set up and manage your own family archive.

The pin number is something that you will always need to set up when pairing two devices using bluetooth, regardless of the OS. You will have to input a number of usually 4 digits and repeat the same number on the other device to show that you have the the right to access both devices.Hey i would like to know how to change the bluetooth pin on backtrack 2.
So i could try some bluetooth hacking on my cell phone but every time i connect it says i need a pass key but i do not know the pin number so what is it or how do i change it.
And is their anyway that i could set it up so i connect with out it asking for one.
To actually connect to a device and get paired without using the bluetooth is possible on some phones. But this is mainly really old phones which where the very first to implement bluetooth. The pin is however possible to bruteforce using the right tools and hardware.
The interesting part of pin numbers is that many devices that come without any user input devices often use the default pin key of 0000. This goes for a broad range of handsfree devices and kayboards/mouses. Since a passkey that always is the same hardly provides much protection it is possible to intercept these signals with malicious intent easily. I.e. remote keyloggers, eavesdrop on conversations even when the owner is not making a call and inputing arbitrary sounds/messages into the earpiece and so on.

By Marc Brubaker
When Lauren Guillerman-Franco '13, a recent graduate of the Rice MBA for Professionals – weekend program, signed up for Professor Vikas Mittal's course: Customer Focused Strategy Implementation, she never expected that a project she undertook would pull her out of the classroom and into her father's restaurant.
"The assignment was to conduct a survey to answer a specific question for a business," she recalls, and a topic came readily to mind. Ruggles Green. Her father Robert Guillerman is a partner in the local restaurant, which strives not only to provide quality fresh food, but also to be the greenest restaurant in the world. As Houston's first green certified restaurant, Ruggles Green aims to surpass a score of 400 points on the certification scale with their new location in the Heights by employing a 2.5 kW solar array on the roof as well as various composting and recycling efforts.
"They're clear on who their target market was already; they know their customers pretty well," said Lauren, "but they had a few different challenges. The one that we decided to do - because it would be best for the survey - was in their Heights location where they were thinking about opening for breakfast."
Her fellow students liked the concept, so they set up a meeting with the restaurant owners. "The timing was good," remembers Federico Marques, the other partner in the restaurant. "The fact that they were willing to come down and talk to us about what we needed was helpful — what we were looking for, what our growth plans were — it felt like something we should do anyway."
So the students set about their task. Throughout the semester they researched the needs and demographics of the restaurant's potential guests, many of whom come from the surrounding neighborhood. The Rice MBA students regularly held meetings with the restaurant management, developing the survey and updating on their progress.
"We decided to try to help them see what people in the Heights expected to pay Ruggles Green for breakfast," said Lauren. In addition to providing guidance about the menu, the survey also sought to answer questions about other value drivers of a restaurant visit such as what time and how many days per week the restaurant should open for breakfast. "We added a little bit more to the survey," she said. "They have a lot of gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan things — and we wanted to see how important that would be to people at breakfast."
They designed the survey to distribute to half Ruggles Green clients and the other half to people who lived in the Heights. The group wanted to understand the needs of not only the current patrons, but also future/potential patrons of the restaurant. As advised by Professor Mittal, "a smart customer-focused strategy not only encompasses current customers but also potential customers of a brand."
According to everyone involved, the survey results were quite helpful, answering many strategic questions that guided implementation. "We got around 450 surveys back, which was really amazing. The price points were right on the money," Lauren said, "and the survey determined that there was little benefit to opening [for breakfast] during the week. It was helpful because it also showed that no one would go before 9 a.m."
Professor Mittal explained that the project "allowed the students to actually use their skills—conceptual and statistical—to help a business make better decisions." He stressed the importance of systematic thinking and rigorous statistical analysis to provide guidance, as opposed to relying on one's intuition to make business decisions. "Especially when it comes to small business. Many owners go with their gut on important issues, which can undermine long-term viability of the business."
One important place to start, according to Mittal, is with customers because for a typical business its customers are the largest source of cash flow. He stressed the importance of systematically listening to the customers using qualitative and quantitative research. "This group [of students] conducted a lot of focus groups and in-depth interviews. They actually did a customer survey to make sure that the voice of the customer was incorporated into the decision making."
Marques was pleased. "The study exceeded our expectations. It was very well done, and very detailed — and I like detail; I'm a data guy. It had some good probabilities of what to expect." Not only did the study itself provide valuable information, but it also helped in passing that information on to the staff. "We were able to meet with our managers and give them the study, and say, these are the results from it and this is what we need to take a look at. Our managers are very aware of what we want to do and how we want to do it."
The benefits of the study are already starting provide a return as well. "Right now they are meeting our expectations," says Marques. "It's only been a couple of weeks — five to six since we rolled it out — but I think in the next several months the results for the Heights location will exceed our expectations as well. It's been growing weekly and doing really well."
For Lauren Guillerman-Franco, the comprehensive nature of the project led her to reflect on her experience in the Rice MBA program. "You take statistics class, and you take the marketing class, and it's really an introduction," she said. "But this class is very specific as far as how do you actually do the survey, interpret those statistics, and make them work for you in terms of strategy implementation."

Developmental Psychology: Cognitive development · Development of the self · Emotional development · Language development · Moral development · Perceptual development · Personality development · Psychosocial development · Social development · Developmental measures
Dr. Arnold Lucius Gesell (21 June 1880 - 29 May 1961) was a psychologist and pediatrician who was a pioneer in the field of child development.
Gesell was born in Alma, Wisconsin, whose dysgenic qualities Gesell later analysed in The Village of a Thousand Souls. He was the eldest of five children and the son of a photographer and a teacher, individuals who were both interested in education. Watching his younger siblings learn and grow helped to establish in him an interest in children.
With plans to become a teacher, Gesell attended Stevens Point Normal School after he graduated from high school in 1896. Here, he took a course with the Clark University-educated Edgar James Swift, who piqued Gesell's interest in psychology. He worked as a high school teacher briefly, but then went on to study at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. There he took history courses taught by Frederick Jackson Turner and psychology courses taught by Joseph Jastrow, who started the psychology laboratory at the University of Wisconsin. Gesell received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from Wisconsin in 1903. He served as a teacher and high school principal before continuing his education at Clark University, an early leader in psychology. Clark was highly influenced by its president, G. Stanley Hall, who founded the child study movement. Gesell received his Ph. D. from Clark in 1906. He worked at several educational facilities in New York City and Wisconsin before fellow Clark graduate Lewis Terman helped him get a professorship at the Los Angeles State Normal School. There he met fellow teacher Beatrice Chandler, a brilliant woman whom he married. They later had a daughter and a son. After spending time at schools for persons with mental disabilities, such as the Vineland Training School in New Jersey, which was run by Henry H. Goddard, he developed an interest in studying children with disabilities.
Determined to become a doctor, he spent some time studying at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. Later he served as an assistant professor at Yale University while studying medicine. He developed the Clinic of Child Development there and received his M.D. in 1915. He was eventually given a full professorship at Yale. He also served as the school psychologist for the Connecticut State Board of Education and helped to develop classes to help children with disabilities succeed. He wrote several books, including The Preschool Child from the Standpoint of Public Hygiene and Education in 1923, The Mental Growth of the Preschool Child in 1925 (which was also published as a film), and An Atlas of Infant Behavior (chronicling typical milestones for certain ages) in 1934. He coauthored with Frances Ilg two childrearing guides, Infant and Child in the Culture of Today in 1943, and The Child from Five to Ten in 1946.
Gesell made use of the latest technology in his research. He used the newest in video and photography advancements. He also made use of one-way mirrors when observing children, even inventing the Gesell dome, a one-way mirror shaped as a dome, under which children could be observed without being disturbed. In his research he studied many children, including Kamala, the wolf girl. He also did research on young animals, including monkeys.
As a psychologist, Gesell realized the vast importance of both nature and nurture. He cautioned others not to be quick to attribute mental disabilities to specific causes. He believed that many aspects of human behavior, such as handedness and temperament were heritable. He understood that children adapted to their parents as well as to one another. He thought that a nationwide nursery school system would benefit America.
The Gesell Institute of Human Development, named after him, was started by his colleagues from the Clinic of Child Development, Dr. Frances Ilg and Dr. Louise Bates Ames in 1950, after Gesell retired from the university.

Multnomah recently completed its 69th annual Global Ministries Conference emphasizing the theme "No Reserves. No Retreats. No Regrets" - words penned by William Borden who died of spinal meningitis in Cairo, Egypt as he was studying Arabic in preparation to minister to Muslim groups in China. He was just 25 years old - in the age category of many Multnomah students!
During the conference, the lives of Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, Lottie Moon, Bill Borden, and Fanny Crosby were dramatized to demonstrate God's extraordinary passion for the world as seen through the lives of ordinary people committed to pursuing, and participating in, His global purposes. Live international phone calls were made to Multnomah graduates ministering in South Africa, Morocco, and Malaysia. Over 35 workshops were offered (many of which you can now listen to online) dealing with topics such as Animism & world religions, spiritual warfare, challenges and struggles in missions, the persecuted church, and maintaining moral purity or avoiding burnout in ministry. One evening was given to an exposure of cultures, foods, and ministry opportunities from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the S. Pacific presented by current international students at MU. Wrapping up the GMC were various outreaches into the Portland area that had been organized by both college and seminary students.
Responses from students, faculty, and missionary guests attested to the conference's positive influence. While the missionary guests are brought in to minister to the Multnomah family, the Multnomah family ministered to them as well. "Among all the conferences I attend," commented one mission representative, "the Multnomah conference is the top one!" Another said, "We have been greatly encouraged by the students here. Their passion for the Lord, their insightful comments, and their thought-provoking questions have blessed and encouraged us." All three alumni
families ministering overseas that were contacted by phone mentioned the significant role that the annual missions conferences had played in their being on the field.
Reflecting on the Lord's interaction with us all, we can genuinely echo Borden's words: No Reserves. No Retreats. No Regrets.
- Tom
