The parents of two South Pasadena teens charged with plotting a mass shooting at their school apologized to the community Wednesday for their sons' alleged behavior.
"My wife and I would like to apologize to the whole community, every student, every parent every faculty," the stepfather of one of the teens told NBC4 outside the juvenile court. "We do not condone [that] kind of behavior."
His son denied the charges -- the equivalent of a not-guilty plea in juvenile court.
The boys, who are 16 and 17, each face one count of making criminal threats, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Their names have not been released.
The charges come after police launched an investigation last week after receiving information that the two suspects had shared their plans with another teen, who they then threatened to kill, prosecutors said.
The father of the second boy charged in the case released a statement to the media after the court appearance, which was not open to the public:
"We were greatly saddened and disappointed of the allegations. We would like to apologize to the community of South Pasadena. We would like to thank the person who stepped forward, who had the courage, to advise the authorities and thank South Pasadena Police Department for their professionalism and their kindness to us during this difficult issue."
The family requested that the media not use their name.
South Pasadena Police Chief Art Miller said at a news conference Tuesday that the boys had a "very specific plan on how they were going to carry out their sick mission."
"As they put it, they just wanted to kill as many people as possible," Miller said. There was no target date for the alleged attack plan, he said.
The boys, who were arrested Monday, had researched weaponry, explosives and methods for disarming people, and "very coldheartedly" discussed their plans with each other online, he said.
The teens also told investigators they were willing to die in a shootout with police, Miller said.
On Monday, police served search warrants at the boys' home. No weapons were found, officials said. The
South Pasadena High School, which has about 1,500 students, resumed classes Thursday. The school's principal, Janet Anderson, sent parents and employees an email late Tuesday saying that the school would see an increased police presence as students return from summer break.
"That presence is for reassurance and security and not due to any ongoing threat," she wrote.

Jan 06 2011 — SALT LAKE CITY
News Release
Torrential rains in early December triggered flooding and landslides throughout a wide region in Colombia. Over 2.2 million persons and 300,000 homes across 28 provinces have been affected, and over 300 persons have been killed. No members of the Church have died, but an estimated 300 member families across several towns have been affected — many with severe damage to their homes.
Also, in partnership with Colombia's Fondo Nacional de Calamidades, the Church plans to ship four containers of hygiene kits, school kits, newborn kits and blankets for distribution in February and March. These supplies are expected to meet the needs of thousands of displaced residents.
- Hygiene kits: 11,200 kits
- School kits: 8,400 kits
- Newborn kits: 7,680 kits
- Blankets: 9,600 blankets
- Clothing: 2,250 bales (equal to about 384,375 articles of clothing)
- Bedding: 375 bales (equal to about 22,500 bedding articles)
Such assistance is made possible because of the commitment of individual Latter-day Saints to "care for the poor and needy." This type of relief is drawn from contributions to the humanitarian fund of the Church. The clothing comes largely from donations made to Deseret Industries. In this manner, Church members act in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides relief and development projects for humanitarian purposes in countries all over the world. Projects operate without regard to the nationality or religion of the recipients. Humanitarian service may include emergency response to natural disasters, such as an earthquake or a tsunami, or man-made disasters, such as the effects of war and famine. It may also be part of a longer-term effort to meet serious and more entrenched human needs, such as the need to alleviate disease.
Those wishing to donate to the Church Humanitarian Aid Fund can do so here. Resources from the Church Humanitarian Aid Fund make it possible for the Church to conduct humanitarian activities all over the world. One hundred percent of all contributions are used to help the needy.

With the blossoming of the idea and fact of the internet maybe it was inevitable that it would be subject to hijacking by some unscrupulous monster at some point. Turns out that demon was a shadow element of our own rogue government. But beside the identity of the monster, the astonishing scope of its activity continues to amaze and horrify us.
Wrangling about what Snowdon did and what he deserves amounts to a convenient and tragic attempt to avoid the question that we in truth cannot escape. Snowden revealed things that we never wanted to know about our nation and how that reflects on ourselves as a people. But knowing them, will we choose to fudge? The more we wallow in reflections about the man, the more we postpone the real questions, which are: WHO ARE WE and WHO WILL WE BECOME?

The electric vehicle controller is the electronics package that operates between the batteries and the motor to control the electric vehicle's speed and
The controller transforms the battery's direct current into alternating current (for AC motors only) and regulates the energy flow from the battery, the controller will also reverse the motor rotation (so the vehicle can go in reverse), and convert the motor to a generator (so that the kinetic energy of motion can be used to recharge the battery when the brake is applied).
The potbox is the throttle in an EV. It tells the controller how much current is needed to be sent to the motor. The potbox's lever arm is attached to the existing accelerator cable.
An E-Meter is a compact digital metering unit that measures voltage, current, kilowatt-hours, amp-hours, time remaining (fuel gauge), and historical battery information.
A Shunt is used with a E-meter or another meter to display amp usage. The shunt is a big chunk of metal with a very small resistance which translates into a small voltage drop across it. A ammeter is calibrated such that a given voltage drop across the fixed shunt translates into a meter reading of amperage. Typical shunts are 50 millivolts equals 500 amps
Contactor/Fuse Information Relay Description:
A relay is used to have a small voltage/current turning on and off a much larger one. The relay is for providing the controller with a "sense" voltage. The controller wants to see the full supply voltage before it will work.
Main Circuit Breaker Description:
A safety device that shuts-off power to the car for servicing or during an emergency. This is a master on/off switch for all of the EV's drive circuitry. It completely turns off the circuit.

Meeting subjective expectations and Ease of use?
I can walk un-aided but not with shopping bags (painful left hip) so I use the lark to get to the local supermarket half a mile away and for fun leisure rides along a canal towpaths.
I often see a few other EPV owners fishing from them. As well as In the shops and in pub car parks . My longest journeys are 10-mile return trips visiting family with a few hills that are more then I in 8 in between!
My 60 year old friend (65 Kg) cannot walk unaided and he prefers a 8 mph power chair which he finds easier to use in confined shopping areas. Being one handed he opted for a joystick control. His wife also has a lark 3 (1994) she says it beats pushing wheelchairs He has been using human powered chairs all his life but has only had powered chairs and scooters for the last 8 years. On one laisure outing a scooter ran out of power and was towed back by the power chair (it has two 50 AH batteries with a 750 watt motor)
As you can imagine its very easy to make a power chair look like a Darlic from the old Doctor who U.K Television programmes or the scooters like fairground rocket carrocell or racing car spoiler effects ( a bit of fun with children using cardboard boxes and packing tape ) the power chair has a seat lift on it so he can get to kitchen sink and cooker height and reach top shelf items in the shops.
From a conversation point of view it brings you face to face rather then having to look up or down at people.and of course gets you to bar stool height (I am a larger beer man and occational becardy (white rum) and Cola uuuuummm drinker)
I wonder how the lark would run on sandy tropical beaches
Hey I might need to get to the beach bar !
I suppose one could make a front track laying acessory
We live close to a hill with a panoramic Coventry City view but is not acessable (yet ) to EPVs or to non powered wheel chairs without a lot of sweat pushing up hill I have a personal expectation of eventually getting to the top (200 feet) hopefully using the lark as it is or modified.
I am looking for ways of increasing my speed to the 8mph range.
I only weigh 65 kg but am still Considering fabricating a lighter weight chassi and or increasing the battery or motor; size but I am not sure what the limitations are to upgrading the lark.
Technical Readers, if you know please return feedback information to jack c kybird suggestions and web ref welcome

"On that day the Lord their God will rescue his people, just as a shepherd rescues his sheep. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown." — Zechariah 9:16
It is a blessed thought that God's own are so extremely precious to Him that He guards them "as the apple of His eye" (Deuteronomy 32:10) and considers them the future jewels of His eternal crown! The world does not have such a gracious and loving view of the people of God but rather labels us "…the world's garbage, like everybody's trash…" (1 Corinthians 4:13).
Jesus, however, has spoken of our standing with him when we come by faith into a personal relationship with him. He said, "They shall walk with Me in white; for they are worthy!" This worthiness of course is not in ourselves, but is due to what we have become by His grace.
We must beware then if all men speak well of us, for many who are first here, shall be last in Heaven. We are molded, shaped and polished by crude and abrasive trials in this world. God works in this way so that we will fit better and shine brighter in the Savior's crown by and by!
I read somewhere that someone has compared us to "poor little colorless drops of water hanging weakly on the fragile blade of time." We are not beautiful at all in our untransformed state. But look again after the "Sun of Righteousness" has arisen in our lives. Look, now we sparkle like a diamond!…A change in the winds of adversity and we glow like a ruby;…and shortly, when the Sun is more fully upon us…we become lustrous as a precious emerald!
If we were to slip out of the sunshine we would be only dirty bits of water; but now, bright with His eternal brightness and grace, we are precious drops destined to be crystallized and fitted into the Heavenly crown…"And they shall be mine, says the Lord of host, in that day when I make up my jewels" (Malachi 3:17)!
You and I do not see ourselves as we really are. We see the unfinished product. God is at work in our lives to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). That is His goal and desire.
The process He uses is constant (Philippians 1:6); He will perform it until Jesus comes. His process is character-building (James 1:2-4). He is concerned, more with our character than our comfort, because it is character that counts. It is from within that we will shine like jewels.
The process finally is completing (1 John 3:1-3). We shall be like Him—Heaven's treasure. In the Father's mind, He bankrupted Heaven in sending His Son to save us from our sin. Now, in His view He is receiving a treasure to Himself that will bring Him glory for all eternity—us!

Question about Televison & Video
Lighting storm happened last night and my TV has gone out. Everything attached to that power strip works except the TV. (Ps3, Xbox, Wii, Satellite box, and wireless headphones base all work) The light does not come on at all and makes no response when trying to turn on either. When the TV gets plugged in you hear something inside the TV. I don't know how to describe it other than a normal TV noise like the noise you hear when you turn on a TV internally. Then you hear another but different normal TV noise about 20 seconds after you unplug it. I opened it up and all of the caps look good and it has a ceramic looking fuse. I am going to try and pick up a new fuse today but I fear that is not the problem. Any ideas?

SOURCE: Plasma TV-power light does not come on
most probably the fuse inside the circuit blown out, You should open the back of the tv to become circuit board visible. But this hard when novice do it.
To be sure that everything will be alright i would rather suggest you to bring the tv to the nearest service center. maybe warranty work for that.
best regards,melnavz

SOURCE: No power
First off I did not see make or model. When plasmas die you have failure in either the power supply of the sustain boards. Do you have any voltage readings from va or vs ?
Craig www.classtorations.com
Posted on Jun 09, 2008
the flash was the fuse inside the set blowing it usually takes out one or two diodes in the power supply section but maybeyou got lucky and its only the fuse.
Posted on Oct 09, 2008
The only solution at this point would be to get the power supply repair since new boards are not longer being manufactured. In about 95% of the time if the LCD doesn't power up or turns OFF by itself or need to be unplug for some time to make work again; those are the symptoms of a dying or defective power supply.
I service these power supplies, for more info write to email@example.com

Hair thinning (alopecia) is definitely a disorder when the curly hair falls out from epidermis areas where it is usually usually present, such because the scalp and human body. There are 3 types of alopecia areata. The common term alopecia areata" is used once hair falls out of the scalp and leaves visible patches of hairloss. Alopecia areata totalis" is the term used for a total loss in hair about the scalp. Alopecia areata universalis" refers to complete loss of hair upon the scalp and physique, including lashes, brows, beards, and, in some cases, even the thin, protective coat of hair over the entire body. In all forms of alopecia areata, the curly hair follicles remain alive and are ready to job application normal hair production anytime they receive the appropriate sign. In all cases, curly hair re-growth may occur even without treatment, and actually after several years, " relating to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF).
The ways in which you wear your hair is crucial. As much as we all love protective styling, plug-ins, and wigs, if you're using them frequently , repeated stress on the scalp can lead to grip alopecia. According to Bateau Day, a dermatologist and clinical associate professor of dermatology in the New You are able to University Langone The hospital whom specializes in hair reduction, Traction alopecia is brought on by anything that draws on the hair, eventually damaging the root and can lead to skin damage and permanent hair damage. It's a process that usually takes years. Underlying triggers can be tight braiding, tight ponytails, or even just taking at the hair. " Ouch. It's important to monitor simply how much hair most likely losing among styles, so you have the opportunity to prevent it in its trails if it is considerable.
How topical immunotherapy works is definitely not clear. A substance is put on affected skin to make the skin behave like an allergy. A commonly used substance is usually diphencyprone (DPCP). Increasing talents of the substance are placed on the affected pores and skin once a week over several weeks until the pores and skin looks like they have mild dermatitis (eczema). The skin response seems to affect the process involved in leading to alopecia areata in a few way to allow curly hair to re-grow. Side-effects can certainly be troublesome. For case, some people develop serious skin reactions. Treating kids with topical immunotherapy is definitely controversial.
Telogen effluvium is a common type of peladera high is widespread thinning from the hair, rather than certain bald patches. Your locks may feel thinner, but you're unlikely to shed it all and your additional biotebal włosy body hair isn't usually affected. Alopecia areata patients are at risk for psychosocial consequences of their disease, including depression and anxiety.
Diffuse alopecia areata may mimic the androgenetic form. The presence of exclamation point hairs, rough nails, or a history of periodic regrowth or tapered fractures noted on locks counts suggests the diagnosis of diffuse alopecia areata. Alopecia areata really does not allow you to feel soreness and does not allow you to sick. In most instances, hair falls out on small, round patches about the size of a quarter. This causes only a few bare spots. Some people may drop more hair. In only a few people, the illness causes total loss of hair on the head or loss of all human body hair.

Isn't that neat?
I love it.

A 14-year-old girl of Indian-origin has been crowned as Australia's brainiest student in a battle of neuroscience knowledge in Sydney.
Uma Jha, from Perth's Shenton College, in inner-west Shenton Park, outsmarted more than 4000 competitors from across Australia to bag the title.
The 2010 Australian Brain Bee Challenge is designed to test high school students on a range of topics, including intelligence, memory, emotions, sleep, Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
Uma has to compete against other state winners in the national final of the competition, which included a brain-teasing anatomy exam, doctor-patient diagnosis and a neuroscience quiz.
"The competition was tied right up until the end and it was a really nerve-wracking finish," News.com.au quoted Uma as saying after the event.
"I've never won a national science competition before, so it's amazing," she added.
However the hard work does not stop here for Uma. She will now travel to California for the International Brain Bee Challenge in August.

Cadillac is a very good luxury car in its class and below are reviews of Cadillac, please refer.
Maximum speed of 155 km per hour can be achieved in 5.7 seconds and 60 mph - Jaguar XK is a bigger engine a bit faster because of higher performance. Another competitor is the Mercedes Benz M 911 and included.
Cars & Lowe Worldwide, and looks great. In fact, only a fairly compact's 72.2 inches 177.5 inches long. Car, looks good, especially from the state. I like her very roof of the SLK's. Super car maybe not all - I have to be translated most of the bonds, "Metal" which I no longer see the top and The Guniborokireno. Weight, Kessler, aluminum, magnesium and store roof.
Good Output
It's also very: 6500 326 rpm and 4.6-liter Northstar V GM 4400 rpm in the 312 pound-feet (423 nm) horsepower - eight to be able to work a little trouble them - in the 360-350 hp is not difficult, it will become more attractive, obtained from the engine.
In any case, it is enough to give the car Hokuto most bones, DOHC aluminum block and heads with four valves per cylinder and courses. Variable valve timing and increase the distribution of energy.
Rear-mounted engine associated with five-speed automatic transmission - but most of them are six-speed automatic, is designed to provide a level of mathematical conversion of the five super cars in Europe. This box has a rear suspension, so the engine is good enough, back 50/50 / rear weight distribution of a front.
A new framework for the concept
GM's new sports car based on along with the Corvette, Kessler is a large amount of water problems, mild steel frame. Hydroforming changes introduced shape of the curve and very large, and change the section to the square, light frame. The body is aluminum and plastic composite body panels. This is a structure that can compete with many of these super cars.
This occurred despite the high level of light construction equipment is a small car, of course, has a much lower spec, higher than the Corvette, and more than 130 pounds only new cars Jaguar XK More health, £ 3,643 (1654 km), heavy machine .
Double Suspension
Suspension design, paper is familiar Corvette Furontodaburuuisshubon occasional rear springs. Resistance Roll - - The result is a simple, lightweight system that emerged from the roll stiffness to give big. The level of spring, so that gradually, almost as easily as iron is less than a bulge in the road. Front extension to the bar.
Furontodaburuuisshubon, to reduce the rear weight of aluminum, of course, in this paper, hot water, lighter included. This type of leaf spring - just a chair - is actually a very sophisticated technology, the wheel, if any, contained some clever production techniques.
A new variable damping constant, it is the type of management in sensitive electromagnetic speed and get more information on low speed.
Since this is a Cadillac, and equipped with high specification. In Europe, Navigation, Heated / cooled seats, Chairman of the call, and the adaptive speed control, is standard. Interior aluminum, leather, wood trim is very nice
On the road
The same concept Corvette, Corvette, people who want to ride, best thinking Kyaderakkukesura relaxed, and was built in the same factory.
Thanks to the good visibility of the columns of light roof, covering almost flat. As well as the Corvette, and tools that work well. Show only speed, but also chairman of the dial you right now is not easily denied. Sorry. I can help.
Not bad steering committee does not, Kessler and weight distribution, but most can be expected from this type, you start pressing once, by bad about the target market is on the steering wheel without a little earlier start to feel - super luxury sports car hard charging drivers. But the car does not corner as quickly as possible, neutral guide.
Automatic is good. Job development is a bad thing does not kick into very aggressive. There is also a manual mode. Press the lever to the left, among them, and to promote the retreat. It is actually in hand, works very well. When I reached your peak, some of them really will change the direction of mean. But no, until you're ready, you only can you stay there.
Overall, two-seat luxury cars, Jaguar has been added to the ranks of our sport that do not meet the criteria for the XK, Aston Martin, V8 no. 10 - includes consideration and Serbia and other, more powerful Corvette.

Sympatico eyes your keystrokes
Web surfers beware. Big Brother Bell Sympatico may be watching.
The Internet service provider advised its subscribers in a revised service agreement in mid-June that the company retains the right to "monitor or investigate content or your use of your service provider's networks and to disclose any information necessary to satisfy any laws, regulations or other governmental request."
Bell denies that the change in wording is in preparation for the feds' possible revival of an Internet surveillance bill, which critics suggest will allow police full access to personal information.
"Bell takes customer privacy very seriously," says Bell spokesperson Paolo Pasquini . "To suggest that we were illegally or routinely monitoring our customers beyond the legislative requirements is false."
Pasquini claims that Bell would only turn such info over to police or government when mandated by a court order or warrant, which was its policy in the past. So why the revised language in the agreement?
"It just puts us on par with the rest of the Internet service providers in Canada," Pasquini says.
Indeed. Ron Deibert, director of U of T's Citizen Lab, says the change in Bell's language suggests privacy laws are moving toward giving the government more leeway to eavesdrop, which means Internet service providers will be required to retain more of their users' data and records.
"This is part of a larger trend toward greater intrusiveness, and the onus falling on Internet service providers to comply with regulations," says Deibert. "Technically, monitoring of Internet service providers isn't necessary because there are already enough laws in place to catch illegal activity, but there's also an absence of a legal environment when it comes to putting restrictions on what the government can [access] in Canada."
Deibert notes that a lot of monitoring tools are already embedded in anti-spam and anti-virus software.
"E-mail, Web surfing, any kind of chat -- it's subject to surveillance unless you use encryption, and even then there are gaps," he says.
He believes Internet service providers are gearing up for the change in legislation, which Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day 's office says could happen as soon as this fall.
"We're still assessing the pros and cons," says Day's spokesperson Melissa Leclerc .
Bike lockers' missing key
The city is offering a secure solution for a few commuter cyclists worried about leaving their bikes outside downtown. But at a price. Last week, 16 bike lockers at City Hall and six at the Exhibition GO station were made available, supposedly to encourage cycling for those put off by bike thieves.
But some bike advocates wonder whether the $10 a month (plus GST) locker rental fee (renters must lease the lockers for a minimum of four months) will actually discourage cycling. It'll also cost you $90 if you lose the key.
Matthew Blackett of Spacing Magazine recommends ditching the minimum lease period and allowing cyclists to rent lockers daily or weekly, as they do in Europe. But more importantly, he says lockers need to be located near places of work if the city really wants people to cycle.
"There's something to be said for making lockers more accessible for people," he says.
For now, though, the city is concentrating on placing lockers near subway stations, says cycling committee chair Adam Giambrone , so those living in the burbs can ride their bikes to public transit and then head downtown on the TTC. By the end of this year, another 44 lockers will be installed at the ferry docks and various TTC stations across the city.
"Public transit and cycling working together is the way we're going," says Giambrone.
As for those pesky fees, cycling and transit project organizer Pauline Craig says they're lower than in most cities.
Gardiner holdout makes stand
Chris "you can call me Gardiner" promised not to go down without a fight should city staff attempt to evict him from his makeshift home under the expressway from which he takes his last name.
He's making good on that promise by adding rooms to the comfy three-room shanty he's built using reclaimed materials -- despite the fact that city staff visit daily to tell him he may be forcibly removed in a matter of days.
OCAP organizer Mike Desroches says the new construction wasn't just about increased space. "It was done to send a message to the city." The message: those who don't want to rely on public housing shouldn't be forced to.
The city won't say when bylaw enforcement will remove Gardiner. Officials say they need the area clear to complete work under the bridge.
But Barrie Chavel of transportation services assures me somewhat sarcastially, given the media coverage OCAP has been whipping up over Gardiner's case, "Don't worry. Everyone will know. It will not be a secret."
Despite Gardiner's open defiance, the city is pushing forward on a cleanup of homeless people living under the Gardiner between Bathurst and Spadina. Iain De Jong of the Streets To Homes program says housing has been found for six homeless people.
Gardiner, meanwhile, was busy adding to his digs this week until he and a dozen or so helpers ran out of nails. He laughs at the oppressive heat. "Hopefully, the city won't have a power outage, although that doesn't really concern me." He lives off the grid, just the way he likes it.

Sturgeon Rearing
The Toledo Zoo will begin construction of a modular facility on Zoo-owned property near the Maumee River to headstart lake sturgeon. Toledo Zoo expects to rear thousands of lake sturgeon from eggs collected in U.S. and Canadian waters until the fish are approximately six months old. At that point, the sturgeon will be released into the Maumee River and their population monitored by fisheries biologists with the Ohio Division of Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The goal is to rear the fish in Maumee River water from a young age and capitalize on the homing ability of the species in hopes that they will return to the waterway to spawn at adulthood in approximately 20 years.
Sturgeon Facts
Lake sturgeon have a long life span of 50 to 150 years, can grow to be more than six feet long and weigh up to 200 lbs. These fish have very noticeable sensory organs, called barbels, that hang down near the mouth. These organs help the sturgeon locate food off the bottom of the lake. They also have a shovel like face used for pushing substrate around in search for food. In addition, they are thought of as ancient fish because of their armor plating like scales protecting their body. Sturgeon are also known for their natal homing ability which causes them to return to the same areas in which they were born to spawn.

History of Lake Sturgeon
In the 1800s, lake sturgeon were abundant in the Maumee River, however, demand of caviar and fuel along with commercial over fishing caused the population to decline and ultimately disappear. Currently, Ohio doesn't have a reproducing lake sturgeon population.
In order to determine whether the Maumee could support this population, a University of Toledo Department of Environmental Sciences PhD student completed habitat assessments to verify the quality and potential sturgeon habitat.
The facility that is being built at the Zoo is in the design and planning stages with construction slated to begin this year with the first release of sturgeon into the Maumee River planned for 2018. In addition, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Division of Wildlife will support a part-time sturgeon technician position to assist with lake sturgeon rearing. Funds for this project were provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act.

Here's a new take on pizza that I found on www.cooks.com.
2 cans crecent rolls
8 sticks string cheese
16 link sausage, cooked
pizza sauce
Preheat oven to 350. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread about 1 tbsp pizza sauce. On long end, place cooked link sausage and 1/2 string cheese stick. Roll back up and place on ungreased cookie sheet. I would advise against using the beloved baking stone for this particular recipe. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crescents are brown. Cheese will not be completely melted but will be heated through.
My kids are skiddish when it comes to meat, so for theirs I left the sausage off. Also Layton wasn't feeling the pizza sauce so his consisted of just the crescent roll and cheese. They really turned out pretty good and were SO simple! A good Saturday night meal and kids could easily help!

So to say the least the days are getting faster, the weeks are going by quicker, and transfers are like the blink of an eye at this point. Can we just have it all slow down a little bit? I guess that won't happen when you have new adventure just about every day. Really though, crazy. I don't have very much time but I think I will share one experience that was really powerful this week. It has to go along with following spiritual promptings and the fact that the Lord prepares people for his servants. During this week I was on exchanges with the Vlissingen Elders, and I had brought Elder Crowsen to Roosendaal to work with me, leaving Elder Bruneau (2nd transfer) and Higham (my greeny) to work in Vlissingen. Needless to say they had their own adventures but we won't talk about those here. For the day we had planned to look up some potential investigators in Roosendaal, but when we went to head out that didn't feel good, so I decided to just do a little bit of door to door finding, again not good. So we got on a train and went to a city called Bergen op Zoom. After bouncing around a couple neighborhoods and just not feeling quite at ease we got to a neighborhood I felt good about, like really good. But every door we knocked the people were not only not positive or blunt, they went out of their way to be rude. Oh well, but we came to a door and a lady answered and we started to talk to her, but before we got too far it came out she believed in old lost scripture so she was super interested in the Book of Mormon. She invited us in and we had a super powerful lesson on the restoration. Turns out she has been praying to find a new path because she is unhappy with some of the things her church is teaching. She doesn't believe they are things that Christ would have taught when he was on the earth. When I pointed out that it wasn't a coincidence that we had come she said that she agreed and as we were getting ready to go, she accepted an invitation to be baptized by someone holding proper authority if she came to know that these things were true. So amazing. Honestly the most prepared native Dutch woman I have talked to so far on my mission. Haha and the only foreseeable problem is that she doesn't have a car to get to church, but that can be solved via members hopefully.
Really cool. Otherwise the work is going really great. I'm loving training Elder Higham still. He is such a good missionary, he is just a little rough on himself always wanting to be his best. Which is a good thing to want, but you should cut yourself some slack.
The rest of the District is doing well too. There is only a little drama but that should be resolved soon enough. Just a matter of trust and communication.
I love you all so much!
-Elder Hayden L. Lott
Question of the Week: Now that you are back in the Netherlands, are you able to get fresh stroopwafel again, or are they a seasonal thing?
Answer: Yeah we can get warm stroopwafels again. They are year round. Also, I'm super excited for it to be fall again because that means the special dutch treat of... oliebollen! So good. Also seasonal vla's are super good. And Old Amsterdam cheese. Good things.

Back to Success Stories
For more than 45 years, National Door Industries, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, has been manufacturing decorative Stylecraft™ Design Trim and window frames for both residential and commercial applications. As a premier supplier to dealers in the U.S., Europe, Mexico, and Canada, the company specializes in "just about everything for garage doors," including the supply and manufacture of 9,000 different parts designed to meet the size, color, and style needs of nearly every garage door distributed by the industry's leading manufacturers.
Continue reading
"We have always prided ourselves on shipping most orders the same day. Before, we had to have tons of inventory on the shelf just in case. With Epicor ERP, we now manufacture items faster due to the enhanced ability to forecast customer buyer trends…We've even been able to tie our manufacturing process to the seasonal demands of customers. This has enabled us to remove a ridiculous amount of unneeded inventory from our shelves."
"Our biggest challenge is staying in front of the trends by keeping a complete line of products onsite at our 100,000-square foot warehousing facility in Fort Worth," says Rob Dailey, National Door's IT Manager for the past eight years. "Although it's been a bit tough over the past few years due to the downturn in the housing market, we've stayed on top due to our ability to fulfill orders for nearly every part imaginable, including the ones that manufacturers discontinued years ago. We are also the only supplier in our industry that can produce virtually any type of window frame."Gaining control over inventory data
Founded in 1968, National Door began the search for a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution after spending nearly 20 years working with a homegrown, DOS-based system that lacked the ability to generate customized reports as well as track trends and inventories. "It was all guesswork at the end of the day," explains Dailey. "The old system provided raw data but nothing else. Everything was done with spreadsheets. There was no way to research customer histories. We had to physically check the status of parts. Needless to say, billing was a nightmare."
After exploring numerous options, National Door chose the Epicor ERP solution. "The system offered tremendous flexibility in customizing our own program and offering the ability to add checks and balances to our entry screens to fit our business processes," Dailey states. "For instance, we color coded data entry fields to ensure our production schedule aligned with delivery dates. Most systems lack this level of self-customization, but we were able to integrate this function totally on our own."
With capabilities like these, National Door was able to sift through its entire inventory and organize its new database so materials and parts could be cross-referenced by groups, classes, customer purchases, and numerous other categories. As a result, the company reduced its physical inventory by 50 percent over the past three years, while maintaining daily production rates.
According to Dailey, additional advantages included the ability to better identify costs and subsequently increase profitability by either raising the prices of specific product lines or phasing out underperforming ones. The duplication of efforts, especially in billing and shipping, has also been eliminated, since Epicor ERP "can now find virtually any type of information in moments," reports Dailey.
"We have always prided ourselves on shipping most orders the same day," he adds. "Before, we had to have tons of inventory on the shelf just in case. With Epicor ERP, we now manufacture items faster due to the enhanced ability to forecast customer buyer trends, and ups and downs in the housing market. We've even tied our manufacturing process to the seasonal demands of customers. This has enabled us to remove a ridiculous amount of unneeded inventory from our shelves."Fast and intuitive
As for the future, National Door has made plans to upgrade its current Epicor ERP system based on the promise of retrieving more data at even quicker speeds. "I have been an Epicor user for the past four years," offers Brian Ditter, National Door Plant Manager. "I really like how easily it is customized for each user. I have been considered a 'power user' on multiple ERP systems over the last 25 years, and Epicor ERP is by far the easiest to pick up and learn. The way that information moves through the system is very intuitive. After seeing a glimpse of the next generation system, I can't wait for the upgrade."About Epicor

What kind of choice is that?
|Nope. Wrong Jonah.
"Choice? Free will? Let me tell you guys a little bit about that. I know all about it -- first hand, me and Moby Dick out there swimming around. Here's the choice God gave me -- Jonah, go to Ninevah, or Jonah, go to Ninevah. Some choice, huh? Well, right off the bat, I'm thinking 'No way am I going to Ninevah! Surely God can respect my decision in this matter. I mean, what's He going to do, make me go?' Some stooge I was.
"Well, anyway, the whole point is this -- I didn't really have a choice, did I? Do it, or wait until He pushed me into doing it. What kind of choice is that?"* * *
Just to what degree is God in control of history? What is the difference between His permissive will and His perfect will? Is there indeed a difference? What's the point in telling me to choose whom I will serve when the same Bible tells me that all of my days are already mapped out and known? If God is omnipotent, then why can't he make things happen just like He wants them to?
Well, to be perfectly honest, he does. History is always under the power of god. God is never under the power of history. Not a single event has happened without passing under God's careful planning and scrutiny. Communism, the Roman persecution of Christians, stillbirths, tragic accidents, slavery, all are a record of history. Surely God didn't approve of these things. And yet, they are a part of history.
|Yep. That's the one.
Too often, we apply words like can't and not able to to God's abilities. One thing we must never forget is that God is omnipotent. According to Webster, that means having unlimited power or authority. and that leaves no rooms for can'ts and not able tos. Sometimes God doesn't do things, but that never means He is unable to. For example, have you ever heard that God can't work in your life if you don't let Him. Sure you have. Well, what about Pilate? He wasn't exactly what you'd call a model Christian, and yet God used him as a key player to accomplish His will for the redemptive work of the cross.
How can things like accidents, murders, poverty, abuse, gang fights, wars, affairs, terrorist attacks and even hunger accomplish the will of a holy and loving Lord? Because He told us so.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28, NIV).
Read that again. Whose purpose? Which things?
There is so much we can't yet see through our glass darkly. But God cannot only see the big picture, He's the Creator who made that picture. He, and only He, knows what's best. Our job is simply to draw closer to Him as He goes about His business of keeping the universe in order and working out His plan.
And guess what? He made us another promise, that if we draw near to Him, He will also draw near to us.

C.P or not C.P?
Poor Elin's eczema on her arms terrible today and I wonder if that too, is part of her condition somehow? I wonder this about every little thing she has- is it because of the C.P or would she have had it anyway?? Don't see how it could be, but either way it is horrendous so a trip to the G.P's is in order methinks. As if she hasn't got enough problems! Poor baby. A tooth painfully poking through today, which makes 6. Another irony of C.P is that she cannot use her hands to help her with her teething, no biting or sucking them and definitely not holding anything to chew on ;-( so when you consider that she copes really well with teething, brave little soldier. I recently noticed a groove under her tongue where it has been running over her two bottom teeth. Apparently, because she doesn't eat anything orally, her sharp little teeth are never given the chance to 'blunt' themselves so they will need to be filed down before they make a hole in her tongue. We are on the waiting list for the hospital dentist. Yuck.

is the name of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts first Latin American contemporary art exhibit. It features artists from Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, Cuba, and other Latin American countries. I think the name of the exhibit says so much about Latin America's role in the rest of the world. When I was in elementary school, we had a couple lessons on the Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, and not much else because European countries conquered and colonized the continent. When you look at how much the United States has meddled in Latin American affairs, you would think that those countries would have at least some presence in our morning coffee discussions. Nashville's own William Walker even led several private military expeditions in Latin America and established himself as president of Nicaragua for a brief period of time. And a more recent example is Plan Colombia, a controversial program between the United States and Colombia to nominally eliminate drug cartels while protecting American oil interests.
It's no wonder that most Latin American countries feel sequestered from the rest of the world, which is why this art exhibit is so huge for them. Camilo Alvarez, one of the featured artists, says, "The fact that white America is now learning to absorb another culture is great. Mind you, that other culture was always here." I think this art exhibit does an excellent job in assimilating Latin American art with the rest of the art world and it is an important stride in bringing Latin American issues to the attention of the rest of the world. You can find more information about the exhibit here.

Unfazed by North Korea's threats, tourists still heading to Guam
Updated 3:56 AM ET, Thu August 17, 2017
Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.
Tumon, Guam (CNN)As the sun broke over the white sands of Guam's Tumon Beach, Duhyun Na and her friends made their way down to the shoreline with their smartphones and selfie sticks.
Their flight landed at 3 a.m., but they wanted to see the sunrise and get some photographs to start their five-day trip.
Vacationing in Guam during this particular moment in time, with the island ensnared in a heated exchange of threatening rhetoric between the United States and North Korea, may seem like a strange choice to some.
But Na and her friends aren't concerned about the saber rattling: they're South Korean.
"Always, North Korea threatens South Korea. It doesn't mean (anything) to us," she told CNN.
South Koreans have lived with the artillery of their belligerent neighbor pointed at them since the end of the Korean War in 1953. North Korean state media often says the country plans to turn the South Korean capital of Seoul into a "sea of fire."
Tourists like Na and her friends are one of the two keys to Guam's economy. The other is defense.
"The economy of Guam is based on two things: We sell paradise and we sell strategic location," George Charfauros, Guam's Homeland Security adviser said. "There is a delicate balance. We need to maintain that balance. One cannot outweigh the other."
About 40% of Guam's economy is dependent on the military, which operates two important bases and owns a third of the island's land.
Tourism, however, is the lifeblood for the island's civilian population. The island broke a 20-year record for most visitors -- more than 130,000 -- in a single month in July, according to the Guam Visitors Bureau. Tourists spend about $1.6 billion a year on Guam, whereas federal defense spending totals $2 billion.
Many of them are families from throughout Asia, looking for warm waters and a quick slice of the easy island life.
Authorities have expressed concern that the current US-North Korea hostile standoff could affect whether visitors choose Guam as their vacation destination.
Tensions have eased somewhat in recent days. According to North Korean state media, the country's generals have finalized plans to strike waters off Guam, but leader Kim Jong Un is holding off giving the order while he waits to see what the US does next. US-South Korean military exercises planned for next week could reignite the situation.
Jon Nathan Denight, the CEO of Guam Visitor's Bureau, said so far it does not seem tourism numbers have been affected, but they are getting inquiries from their offices in Japan and South Korea -- the two top sources of tourists -- about the situation on the ground.
"Tourism is a very competitive industry," Denight said. "People's opinions can be influenced can be swayed by negative information."
Military impact
Guam's authorities have stressed in recent days that the threat level has not changed on the island but a potential hit to tourism is on the forefront of officials' minds.
"If history is telling and this thing continues, that's what I'm concerned about," Guam Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo said at a news conference this week.
"Desert Storm (the 1991 Gulf War) had an impact on tourism in Guam, even though it was in the Middle East ... even the SARS epidemic had a problem for Guam in terms of tourist numbers."
And those on the island who work in the hospitality and tourism industries are concerned the heated back-and-forth could scare away customers, despite US President Donald Trump's prediction, in a phone call with Gov. Calvo, that tourism would increase "like tenfold" with the media attention.
"We need the tourism to keep Guam going," said Jodiann Santos, who works at the Guam Museum.
Both sides of the beach
At dusk on Tumon beach, one of the island's most popular tourist spots, hordes of Korean and Japanese tourists turn in their beach paraphernalia, like inner tubes and snorkels.
Edwin Cruz has been working on this beach for 17 years. He isn't worried about the threat of missiles near the island.
Cruz, 59, hasn't noticed a change in the number of tourists and doesn't expect to see them stop coming -- especially visits by South Koreans, which jumped by a quarter last month.
"They're used to it," said Cruz, who works at ISA Aqua Sports just outside the Outrigger Guam Beach Resort. "If they're not worried, I don't think we should be worried."
But that's not much comfort to Marino John, a 24-year-old bartender, who works at the beachfront bar of the Dusit Thani resort just a couple hundred feet or so from Cruz.
"I'm a little worried," John said.
Guam's infrastructure caters to South Koreans like Na and her friends. Signs in Korean offering services like shuttle buses are easy to spot in tourist areas.
Visits by Japanese tourist were down 5% last month, a fact authorities blamed on fewer flight connections -- but they still make up the largest group of visitors, ahead of South Koreans.
Too dangerous
Na thinks Guam is beautiful, but it wasn't her first choice.
She and her friends were going to go to the Philippines, but they canceled because with a drug war and a battle against Islamic militants in the country's south, they thought it was too dangerous.
Guam's officials aren't taking the tourist industry's current resilience in the face of North Korea's threats for granted -- they know its reputation as an island paradise can easily be overshadowed.
"The industry is fragile to the point where if you have natural or man-made disasters, it will have an impact," said Gov. Calvo.
