New Flagstaff outskirts, two hours later
It felt good to drive around New Flagstaff's industrial area once again. Shiu's stash was kind of easy to find and recover. Located in one of Flagstaff old firestations, two duffle bags were hidden inside one of the numerous, rusty locker. Just as expected. She just had to wait until no one was around and then, make sure she wasn't followed. Despite the fact she had long chosen the path of the CHOTA, she felt like a Traveler. Just like old times.
Now is the time to open the bags and see what's left of her old armory. . .
Nothing much. One of the two bags was full of small arms cartridges : 9mm, .300, .338 and of course 50cal rifle rounds. The other bag was filled with a mix of shotgun shells and various medical supplies. She tossed the two bags back in the trunk of her car and sighed heavily. This won't do the trick, Shiu needed large ammounts of ammunition. She was thinking crates and boxes, not mags and bags.
She had to call her contact.
*R* " Hi ! Am I at the Thompson grocery store ? "
Another feminine voice replied shortly afterwards, with a lot of caution and tension in her voice. *R* " Yes, absolutely. We're usually closed; but I assume I can't say no to such a loyal custommer. What can I do for you ? "
*R* " I would like to pass a special order, is that possible ? "
*R* " Absolutely, I'll be prepairing something that will feel like an Oasis of flavors. I'll see you tomorrow "
Shiu knew where to go.
Oasis, the next day
That place always had that smell of oil and gasoline, feeling that scent in the air again brought a world of memories back in Shiu's mind. Mary Reiley, Dakota Littlebear and all of the other Dusties. back then it was easier. All she had to do was to make cars. Yet, Shiu had to make things more complicated and elave. She always liked when her life was complicated. Yet, that life was long, long behind her. So long that it felt like it was centuries where it really was not even a decade since the day she left the place to Serenity Falls. With Duncan.
Finding Shiu's contact was easy. White Combat Interceptor, White combat suit and White mask. Her contact was waiting her, in front of the Franklin's Riders hotel. As soon as shiu approached, the White Contact, Candy, said only one word : " Upstairs " before climbing the stairs to the last floor.
In the uppermost level of the building, only one door was open. Only was room was unlocked. Shiu quickly got inside, closing the door behind her and locking it.
Candy was waiting silently, sitting on the only chair.
It was time to talk.
" One year. One full, bloody year and the only news I get for you is that note in one of our drop boxes asking for a favor and that call to ask this appointment ? Do you know the Family, you first Family was in hiding ? You cold, self centered - ass bitch ? " Said Candy, after removing her mask; showing a cold yet spiteful young face with a short, white haircut.
" Language, kid. I taught you better than that. I have my own reasons. I don't disapear for fun, it's almost always business related. Black Eye's business, this time. "
The youngster's face expression sweetened slightly as she nodded. She adds with a sly smile " I guess you have an offer for me, the kind of offer I can't resist ? "
" Yes. What if I tell you I'm about to revive my most sucessful job, but with some tweaking here and there ? "
" The NF trick ? Last time didnt ended so well for you. "
Shiu chuckled briefly before replying " I got a new plan. Same location but with a more careful and complicated approach. My plan is simple. You make the stuff and I sell it and take care of all the details. We split 50/50. "
" 70/30 and I won't tell Deathstarz about our little business, I don't know if the Family could tolerate your entry in that small market. "
Shiu smiled. She remebered one of Kyotan's lessons about the infamous Traveller's greed. That was only now that, as a CHOTA she started to understand this. She agreed with Candy and they set up a code name for the whole operation. Another safety measure.
Everything was going well so far for Shiu. Candy wasn't too curious about the in's and out's of Shiu's overall plan. The idea of "ripping off" her old friend with a 70/30 bargains was already too much for her. That was perfect. Candy didn't needed to know the real aim of the whole operation; All she needed to know was that she had a lot of work to do and a lot of chips to make.
For now, Shiu had to go and check her warehouse's safety. And she exactly knew who to ask for.
New Flagstaff's pond area, five days later
Whoi, in the world, would think that Kyra Magnum was stilla round and kicking. Not Shiu, yet she ended up bumping on her after checking her Warehouse's safety with Kaylee, one trusted Condemned's member. They started idly chatting for quite a moment, trading old memories and some cake. The cake was an old reciepe she had learned back in her Dust Motors Corporation time, in Oasis. That chat was kind of fruitful : even if Kyra was back, Shiu got that the NFPD wasn't part of the trip. Perfect.
After some time, she parted her way with the little group. Once she was far enough she contacted candy again. She only said three sentences.
" Lotus got the place checked.
I'll contact you again soon.
Operation BARBAROSSA can begin"

Welcome to the articles section. I plan on collecting a few articles here on fishing techniques. The first one is by Kevin. Who knows what else might end up on here.
Fishing my Swimgrubs in the Bays/Lagoons
by Kevin
**this is a reprint of a posting by Kevin on the SDfish.com message board.**
"I get asked all the time whats the best way to fish the swimgrubs. So I just thought I would throw it up here to read for those who are interested....
I personally have the most success fishing the swimgrubs very slowly. I dont even give the bait too much life, unless I haven't gotten a bite in about 5 minutes of trying. 99% of the time I don't engage the reel until by bait hits the bottom. There are those occasions where I see a spike in my line, and it starts to backlash(means a fish is taking off with your bait) then I engage. But for the most part I am always on the bottom. If the fish dont want the straight retrieve, I will give it a rod tip raise to the 12 o'clock position and let it sink back down, or a couple twitches, wiggles, quick handle turns then pause, anything to see if it will trigger a bite. But the slow nonstop turn of the handle has been the best producer for me.
When I hit a spot and throw my first cast out there, its always straight ahead. Once I see what the current is doing then I start my casting pattern. Now this is very elementary, most of you know the fish face the current most the time. I start my pattern casting uphill and working the bait back down. my next cast is a little less uphill, and so on and so forth. Once I am working against the current, usually about 5 casts, I will move to another spot if I havent gotten bit. I like to move about 50 yards whichever way the current is going, and then start it all over. After the second spot hasnt produced anything, I will try a different pattern. Or Sometimes I will stick to the same spot and try a different pattern, restarting my casting routine. As far as the patterns go, I have some that resemble actual foods fish key in on, and I also have patterns that look nothing like any type of fish food. But they all work. Not only do they all work, it doesnt matter what color head you use. I had a session last week with an all white bait and a dark head, and was pulling on plenty of fish. What does that resemble? Nothing. The fish were in the mood. I bet if I stuck a gummy worm on a darterhead it would get bit. If the fish are hungry, they will eat. Or if you piss them off they will attack. I do have my favorite patterns, and I have my top selling patterns. Ironically, they happen to be exactly the same. the ghost shrimp, aquamarine, and black widow patterns have produced the most, and the biggest fish so far, and those are the ones I can't seem to make enough of.
I'm not so much a believer in bait scent, I dont like using it. I catch almost all of my fish without scent. I do include a bait scent to cover up the odor of the plastisol, and it seems to work just fine. The one scent I will use when I am in the mood is Hot Sauce, made by Edge Products. It's the only scent I have seen a definite difference in getting fish to bite. I cant say I catch more fish, but after trying all sorts of scents, the hot sauce was the only one that I would ever consider buying(if I had to).
I fish two different ways. I either palm the reel with my rod parallel to the water giving the line just a little slack, or I am holding the line with my hand above the reel with absolutely no slack in the line(more for pressure bite sensing). You definitely get bit way more than you think you do, and you dont know until you actually feel it with the line in between your fingers. I aquired this technique from Mike Gardner(author of "Fish Have No Hands") and once I started fishing this way I couldnt believe how many times I felt bites. I log all my fishing outings and I can tell you that from this time last year til now, my catch has went up 350%!! no joke.. I used to be happy with 2-3 fish per session. Now I laugh at it. When the fish are biting, I will palm the reel. When they are finicky, I use Mikes method."

As a follow up article of business card designs, I searched throughout the net to bring you high quality brochures design for your company/brand.
Most of the time, brochures can be found at places where tourists frequently visit. Such as resorts, hotels, museums and etc.
What is brochure?
A brochure (also referred to as a pamphlet) is a type of leaflet. Brochures are most commonly found at places that tourists frequently visit, such as museums, major shops, and tourist information. Brochure racks or stands may suggest visits to amusement parks and other points of interest. Another type of brochure is interpersonal brochures, which are brochures based on other people. Then there are pamphlets that you can find in health clinics and hospitals, that give help and advice to do with your health.
The most common types of single-sheet brochures are the bi-fold (a single sheet printed on both sides and folded into halves) and the tri-fold (the same, but folded into thirds). A bi-fold brochure results in four panels (two panels on each side), while a tri-fold results in six panels (three panels on each side).
- Your design must have the important information and as much as possible.
- Be responsive that your brochure design must push the reader to take action, not to overwork them with information and pictures.
- The design should verbalize for the brand you are with.
- Choose the best paper to use that will fit your design.
- Proofread before going to the final output.

It was after 2pm by the time I could force myself out of bed and get to the computer to start working.
I woke up again really early in the morning, probably about 5:30am. I hadn't been able to fall asleep until after 2am so this wasn't nearly enough sleep. I had weird dreams again but managed to get back to sleep for a bit, got back up a little after 10 and came into the front room to sit down on the computer and start working and I was just still way too tired and out of it and there were a ton of tickets to sort through filling up my email inbox and I just couldn't face it so I sent a message to our production coordinator that I needed to take a couple more hours before I could even think about doing any work and went back to bed. I slept for a few hours but then couldn't bring myself to get out of bed and face the work I was supposed to do until about 2:15. Even then I was still not all that coherent to actually do the coding so everything that I did work on took longer than it should have.
I still managed to get a few things done, one was setting up a "Publications" page that took a textarea attribute and split it out line by line into a 'years' array and then built up a select list element and a bunch of 4 column divs that correlated to each one of the 4 types of publications they had. When you change the select element to a new year then it swaps out the visible div with the 4 areas for each year. Pretty simple, I'm glad that it all worked. Another was modifying Attributes Slider to work as a tabbed interface. There are 3 tabs per 'slide' and then when you click on the tab it swaps out the content with whatever the values are from the image attributes and a new image. The hard part with this was figuring out how to write the callbacks to display the proper content area when you hit the previous and next buttons to swap out to a different slide. I was pretty worried about how this would work, I don't have the best javascript skills so it was kind of a stretch for me. Robert had said that we could sit down and go through it together and try to figure it out but we haven't had time so I just worked on it until I could figure it out, it took me close to an hour and twenty minutes to get the tabs working and then figure out how to do the callbacks as well.
Some men came by and rung my doorbell asking if I owned any of the two vehicles parked outside my building. I didn't own either but I knew who's they were but neither of the owners were home. Turns out they were here to trim up the tree in my front yard which they did pretty quickly and then took off.
My order from Amy's Kitchen came via UPS, I'm a little bummed that they didn't send me a confirmation email with the delivery date, it was possible that I wouldn't have been home and the stuff would have just been sitting outside for hours. The dry ice that they packed in with it was nearly gone but I think everything was still cold enough. It all fit in my freezer which was good. I don't think that I'm going to order from them again, I didn't save all that much money and there was a ton of extra packaging that I just threw into the garbage that I felt pretty bad about, mostly Styrofoam and bubble wrap which isn't biodegradable at all. I think it's probably best if I just keep picking it up at the coop in the long run.
I saw on facebook that one of our developers who lives out in Wilmar and mostly telecommutes is going to be taking another job that's actually in Wilmar. That was kind of unexpected, I wonder what we're going to do. He might stay on a bit working on nights and weekends. I guess I will find out more tomorrow, it's our all company meeting or "Hut Confab" where we plan out what we are doing next as a company and on different projects. I wonder if we're going to hire another person to make up for the loss. He did a lot of our more complicated programming so it really will affect us. He didn't do much for our concrete 5 work, mostly he was working with our in-house "Hut CMS." He actually wrote a fair amount of the code that runs that CMS.
I did the last bit of research for our trip to Lovetree farm. Now we're thinking that we're not going to head out to the Bike Farm but instead we're going to camp in Interstate Park in Wisconsin on Sunday and then Willow River park on Monday. There are already probably too many people for us to go to the Bike Farm. If anyone is interested in going on the trip you can send me a message or leave me a comment and I'll get you the proper information, right now it's looking like it's about $16.50 for each person for camping plus whatever it costs for incidentals like food, firewood and alcohol. We'll be leaving June 30th and getting back July 3rd. Here is the tentative map of what we are thinking of. I think it will be a lot of fun, it would be nice to have more people too. I still need to buy a tent and some cooking stuff and a stove and a battery re-charger for my phone. I don't think that we are going to have campsites with electricity though we might go for that on one of the nights so that people can recharge phones and cameras and bicycle lights. We do have a sag wagon too which will make it nice for people that can't carry everything that they need on their bicycle.
That was about it, a pretty down day. Probably related to drinking last night, it seems too big of a coincidence to ignore. So probably not a good idea to drink more, no matter how much I want to. If I'm not going to be able to drink fast enough to get drunk anyway and it's going to have such a big effect on my mood.
I didn't spend much time on facebook today, though when I was on there I noticed that there's a lot less content in my stream. I was kind of expecting that. Two more people asked to be included as friends instead of acquaintances. Here's the couple of things that I did read and share.
An article on what needs to change in the bicycle industry. I'm not sure if I agree with all of it but she does make some good points.
GMO corn has been linked to organ failure. Of course Monsanto is denying it but I think it just shows that we need to label and probably ban these foods. They are just creating super weeds that are even more resistant to the pesticides they are engineered for anyway so it's not like they are actually working for what they are designed for.
Does this secret meeting choose the next president? A friend posted up a link to a video with more information but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
An article on Facebook's Open Graph. Apparently there's a lot more that you can do with it than just controlling what information shows up when you share the page to facebook. I have updated header_required.php in several concrete 5 websites to control what shows up when you share pages, the instructions on how to do this are here. I wish I knew more about how to use it, I could probably do a lot of good on some websites including this one.
A nice interview with the project lead from Google's Project Glass. I would love to have this technology when it comes out, the biggest thing I want it for is keeping track of people so I know who's who when I see them again. I'm not sure if it will have facial recognition to bring up data on people you interact with but it would be nice.
A video with a friend of mine interviewed about the Sabo Bridge closing. I think if they don't open this bridge again soon it's just a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt trying to cross at Hiawatha. I see horribly dangerous stuff just about every time I cross, people turning across the cyclists in the crosswalk or people jumping the light and playing frogger to get across because they don't want to wait for the light to change.
More cannibalism on the east coast. I'm not sure what's going on, it seems like there have been a lot of stories lately. Here's another article calling for people to stop calling it a zombie outbreak, instead they want to blame it on the mentally ill. Personally I know quite a few people that would fall into this category and I don't think any of them would turn to cannibalism.
A judge has ruled against the Defense of Marriage Act that keeps same sex couples from having any benefits on a federal level. I don't think it goes far enough, it should have said that the right to marry is a basic human right that should be available to all but it's a step in the right direction. I wonder how it will hold up in the Supreme Court?
14 people were arrested defending the Cruz home last night. One of my friends lives nearby and is starting to get sick of all the protesting being noisy and disturbing traffic. I'm not sure if they should just give up, especially since the family isn't even there any more. Sure the bank is saying they will re-negotiate but I doubt that they really mean it with all the support they are getting from the police. There have been people in city government calling for the police to stop foreclosing on homes as well but I don't think they really mean it either because they keep sending out the police. I'm not sure what the solution is, we really need change at the highest levels of government to give people more rights to renegotiate their mortgages.

I have a problem with sleeping until I absolutely HAVE TO get up.
Since I am a "stay at home mother" my work day starts either when I want it to start or when my children yell "MOMMY THE SUN IS UP."
I went for a while getting up VERY early, before the sun was up, to take a shower, clean and get a few minutes of precious alone time before the breakfast rush.
This winter it has been SO HARD for me to wake up before the kids demand that I drag myself to the kitchen to make them breakfast.
I am fine when I do get up.
I jump out of bed and start getting little people dressed "no Anna you CAN NOT wear your pink tights and ONLY your pink tights. WHy? because is is FREEZING cold. Fine. Wear the pink tights but at least put a shirt on." Then I manage to feed everyone, feed myself and get Paul and Roger out the door (roger drops paul at his preschool and I pick paul up at lunch).
Most mornings are pretty calm. We are a jolly little bunch in the mornings. Anna LOVEs to say good morning! "good morning to my family.... GOOD MORNING" She'll keep repeating it until you say it back and then she'll start ALL OVER AGAIN :)
However, at around 10am I look down, with my tea in hand, and see that I still have my jammies on. (I know... such a rough life) The question is why didn't I get up to shower before the kids got up. Now I am left at home alone with a two year old and I need to shower.....hmmmmmmmmm this is going to be tricky.
It happens every morning so I know the consequences of sleeping until the very last second yet I do it anyway.
When the kids were babies it was simple to shower. I put them in their car seats and sat them in the bathroom with me. If they cried I would start singing to them but most of the time they just sat in their little seats talking to themselves. Then they became mobil and showers became VERY adventurous.
Today as I was attempting my shower anna came running in "Mommy! Mommy! I need to poop"
I poked my head out of the shower and pointed to her little step stool "well, quick, get the stool and put yourself on the toilet."
As she was putting herself on the toilet I was thinking "we have reached a milestone! She is putting herself on the toilet! YAY this is AWESOME!"
She then yelled out "mommy wipe my butt."
I was in the shower still so I had to lean over, through the tub, at which point I knocked all the shampoo onto my little toes and stepped on some toy cars that paul had left in the tub from his bath, and grab the toilet paper with my wet hand.
"yep, we still have a few more milestones to reach mss anna."
she looked up at me "mom, you are suppose to be taking care of me. TAKE CARE OF ME MOM."
With water dripping off of me and shampoo from my hair falling to the floor, I helped her put her pants back on.
"I really need to start taking showers before the kids get up."
I wonder if I have learned my lesson yet and will get up early tomorrow?
probably not.

National Achievement Scholarship Semifinalist
Senior Malashia Drummond from Spartanburg High School has been named a semifinalist in the 50th annual National Achievement Scholarship Competition. Malashia was among 48 Black American high school seniors encompassing public, private, and homeschools across the state to achieve the ranking nationwide, according to officials at the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
This coming spring Malashia will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 800 Achievement Scholarship Awards worth about $2.5 million. To advance to the finalist stage, a Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test.
Jeff Stevens, Principal, Spartanburg High School, commented, "I congratulate Malashia on being named a Semifinalist, and look forward to hearing more about her accomplishments in the future."
For more information about the National Achievement Scholarship Program, parents should contact Spartanburg High School's guidance department at 594-4410.

I'm considering moving from my current Rainbird ESP-SMTe to the Rachio V2. What originally drew me to the SMTe a few years ago was the managed allowed depletion method of watering and on-site weather station. The main downsides are that the system does not measure solar radiation, it can't look at future forecasts during scheduling, and there's no mobile access. I'm hopeful that the Rachio can help bridge these gaps.
If I switch, I'd like to still have the benefits of an on-site weather station again. I live in Nebraska—so rainfall can vary quite a bit over a small area—so it seems having a way to measure actual rainfall on-site is important. There is an airport about 10 miles from my location, so I assume that is where current conditions would come from if I didn't have a PWS.
As I read about the different weather station options, I see that some report more information than others. For the flex scheduling to work properly in my situation, how important is it that I choose a station that can measure solar radiation for the ET calculations (such as Davis Instruments Pro2)? If I go with a cheaper option that doesn't include this (say Acurite or Netatmo), how much less accurate do the ET calculations become?
Would certainly appreciate any thoughts you all have on my situation! Thanks in advance.
If a PWS sends Solar radiation data we use it, if not we can get close.
We definitely use forecasts for scheduling.
We allow you to choose any PWS in the nearby vicinity. Sometimes these are highly accurate and you don't even need to purchase yourself.
From my personal experience it won't be that much of a factor when you look at all of the other variables that go into the equation. If we don't get it we have an equation that derives based on latitude and time of year. I think it would all average out.
I don't think it will be that much less accurate.
For our Spring software release we are moving towards a much simpler schedule to setup. It will be the best of both worlds from our flex and fixed schedules. It will adjust frequency and duration each month (water as needed), while also skipping schedules due to precipitation OR we look at ET and see if it can get to the next run.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions or feedback. There will be much more information as we get closer to the software release. We currently have fixed schedules, or flex which waters when soil moisture is depleted. We are refining this and making it easier to setup and monitor for our next release.

Monday, March 24, 2008
Friday night I went to see a new play, "Secrets of the Trade" by Jonathan Tolins ("The Twilight of the Golds" and "The Last Sunday in June"). It's about a precocious 16 year-old theater fanatic who writes a famous theater director and ultimately gets to know the man. The play insightfully examines that time in life when children leave their parental adoration behind and chart their own path in life. It's beautifully written and very touching.
John Glover is most impressive as the theater impresario "Martin Kerner."
The show is running at the tiny Black Dahlia Theater -- with just 35 seats. The theater is so small you actually enter through the gift shop next door (photo above).
Celebrity Sighting: Spotted both Tony Shaloub and Chad Allen in the audience. That's a pretty high celebrity quotient since there are only 35 seats.

Newly signed Broncos guard Ronald Leary says he's not going to spend any time recruiting quarterback Tony Romo to join him in Denver and said the team has "two great young quarterbacks" in Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.
Broncos coach Vance Joseph and General Manager John Elway have both offered similarly positive comments about their current quarterbacks and they did so again during a Monday press conference. Elway said the team is "excited" about Siemian and Lynch and didn't discuss Romo because the quarterback remains under contract with the Cowboys.
Joseph said the same thing and extended it to conversations around the team facility as well. He said there hasn't been one meeting where Romo has been discussed because it's a "non-issue" for the team unless Romo is out of his contract.
The team could discuss trading for Romo, of course, but there's been no sign that the Broncos are willing to make such a move and Elway said Monday that "nothing's changed since the combine" for the team. Word around the Texans has been that they are also averse to making a trade, leaving the status quo in place across the board.

I would have written earlier but I was watching videos on youtube. I like the Britain's got talent show, and I like watching it. I mentioned that before.
I have been reading in history about all the delegates making the constitution. The author writes about how the summer that year was hot and since they had all the windows closed in the building they were meeting in, it must have been stifling. She says that since people believed then that baths were unhealthy, that the building must have stank. Can you imagine a bunch of sweaty, dirty men who were probably wearing wool suits meeting together in a closed room where conversations were heated? That must have stank! There was a note to the side mentioning something about a man putting up a shower in his backyard and then urging his wife to try it. The wife says that she faired well, considering that she hadn't gotten completely wet in 28 years. I have to memorize this for my history, even though I will most likely forget it soon afterwards. It's the preamble to the constitution
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Biology is getting a little bit confusing, but I find that if I read slowly and read the same page several times than I get it. Today I was learning about osmosis and balanced chemical equations. This questioned seemed hard, but after dad explained it I got it, and then I felt silly because it was rather easy. Here is the equation:
Here is the question: ___ molecule of C18H26O16 reacts with _____ molecules of H2O to make _____ molecules of C6H12O6.
I asked mom what kind of job she wouldn't mind me having. I DO NOT want to work at a pet store, thats just lame. A bakery is ok a guess, but I wouldn't like it. And a daycare wouldn't work because I find it hard to control myself when children aren't being disciplined properly. "He can't help it, she has the mind of a 3 year old, it's ok, they are just expressing themselves, don't worry we will give him his medication soon and then he will calm down".
I like goats, so I have until spring to research them and everything and then mom says she will help set me up. I have to figure out what people around here like about goats. Is it the wool, meat, cheese or milk? or maybe people want to buy actual, live goats. Of course we would have to build a barn of sorts, and fencing, and food and vet care and ca-ching,ca-ching! And then if everything works, I will start making profit. And then I can take a first responder course and drivers license and flight lessons and a year or two in Bible school, and yeah I think I am counting chickens before they hatch. Proverbs 3:5-6 come to mind. It's just I want to go to Bangladesh as soon as possible and I'm excited, and I can't wait to see what paths God will lead me down, and to see how He will work everything out if it's His will.
I have to stop now, dad didn't want me up until 11:00. It says I posted at 10:18, but it really is 10:56

It said in one of my history books that King George the 3 had only TWO BATHS HIS WHOLE LIFE!. And yes they would stink very bad. If I wanted to scare everybody away I think I would do something a little less health threatening.

I'll tell you what he meant friday. its to funny to say in words without ruining it. The dvd was from wecloming me to the wendys team(or family as it called it) to safety in EVERYTHING! to as called it "just being nice" to everyone working and eating at wendys. I think I am getting paid 7.50, what I found out was that its only over 8 dallars when you are over eight.

if you're training for ministry work don't get a public job. been there...done that. God can provide much better for your needs than you can on your own. i had a public job from may to october. i made a little over $3,000. i worked all of the time, spent too much money, couldn't pay my bills, and got off of God's path for my life and had to drop most of my ministry classes and wasted six months.
when i FINALLY listened to God (and my parents, and my fiance, and my pastor...) and trusted God to provide for me as i followed the path he set aside for women, he blessed me with-
1)spiritual blessings beyond compare.
2)the blessing of being allowed to marry my love 6 months earlier than planned.
3)our ENTIRE wedding paid for without even a stretch.
4)a beautiful house, and a wedding shower that completely furnished it.
5)my future husband now has the ability to support us quite comfortably, without me having to trudge into the public workforce everyday.
A little word Sarah- the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence. Working may seem exciting and great and all thinks wonderful, but it wears off REALLY quick. and then you're stuck with all of the bills accumulated during that time. just trust me.

take this time at home and cherish it. it passes so quickly.

thanks for that, I had been struggling, (just ask my mom) cause my parents didn't and still don't want me to work out side of my home and for a while I wanted to. It finally clicked that I should stay at home; if I did get a public job I am pretty sure it wouldn't have been God's will. I wonder what I would be now if my parents had allowed me to get a job when I first wanted to, which was quite a while ago. All the temptations out there would probably have messed me up and since I am still in school my studies would have suffered.I thank God that I have parents who don't let me have my way even if I "throw temper tantrums" about it. I didn't really, but I sure didn't take no easily, from them or God. Sigh.

why is it copied over and over. The white spatula is like don't touch the white if your the grill operator, If your the sandwhich operator than you don't touch red. because the grill operator is using raw meat. and the sandwhich operator is using ready to eat food and the chemicals of both mixed together cause sickness. which means less people coming.

Christy, we have never met (though I would love to meet you), but I REALLY appreciate who you are in my daughter's life. There are NO Christian girls in her circle of friends, her age or otherwise. She enjoys your blog, is disappointed that Esther doesn't write on hers, and longs for the summers she gets to go to a church camp in Pennsylvania where she can fellowship with Christian girls her age whose parents are as "strict" as we are! ;)
Pray for us. Sarah needs female fellowship of the Christian kind. But then again, God knows what Sarah really needs, and He knows why He has withheld this type of friendship from her.

The Law of Humility
Well. It has been forever. A lot has happened since 2013. It feels like a lifetime. I've been to many different countries, moved 5 times, fallen down in my personal life, picked myself up and then fallen down again, with God eventually deciding that I'd been humbled enough.
What have I learned? Humility, humility, humility. Faith in the Word of God is the strongest power in the universe, but the law of humility is just a law. Graphically it goes like this: the amount of grace you receive in your life is directly proportionate to how humble you are. The more pride you have, the less grace will be over your life.
James 4:6
But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
This also ties in with the verse:
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Think of it! We can humble ourselves so He doesn't have to! The key thing to remember is that either way, it'll happen. Either we can humble ourselves or God will humble us. Which way results in more grace? I'm guessing the former, as it takes a build up of pride for God to humble us. Whereas if we stay on the straight and narrow, we can remain humble and remain in grace.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.RAKIM L. LOVE AND I-BORN HENDERSON, A/K/A IBORN HENDERSON, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County, Indictment No. 07-07-1613 in A-0610-08T2 and 07-07-1631 in A-0925-08T4.
Per curiam.
Submitted May 1, 2012 --
Before Judges Payne, Reisner and Simonelli.
Following a jury trial, defendants Rakim L. Love and I-Born Henderson were both convicted of first degree robbery, N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1; second degree conspiracy, N.J.S.A. 2C:5-2 and 2C:15-1; and third degree aggravated assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1b(1). Love was also convicted of first degree use of a juvenile to commit a crime, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-9. After merger, Love was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of twelve years subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA), N.J.S.A. 2C:43-7.2. Henderson was also sentenced to a twelve-year term subject to NERA. In these appeals, which we have consolidated for purposes of this opinion, each defendant challenges his conviction and sentence. We affirm the convictions and sentences as to both defendants.
This was the most pertinent trial evidence. On December 1, 2006, Henderson was seventeen years old, approximately three months shy of his eighteenth birthday. Love, Henderson's cousin, had turned eighteen approximately one month earlier.
On that date, Christopher McCord went to Al's Deli in Asbury Park to purchase cigarettes and juice. According to McCord's testimony, he had about sixteen dollars in his pocket. After making his purchase, McCord went outside and started unlocking his bike. While he was doing so, defendants approached him from the back and side.
Defendants began pushing him and asking "What do you want?" and "What are you here for?" McCord responded "nothing" and told them he was just in the neighborhood to buy cigarettes. He kept his head down, telling defendants that he was unlocking his bike and trying to leave. McCord testified that Love ordered him to hand over his money, but McCord told Love that he had no money.
At that point, Love took out a gun and said, "now you're going to give me your money." McCord initially thought the gun was a toy because "it didn't look real. It was all scratched up and everything." Although Love pointed the gun at McCord's chest and head, McCord "didn't think [he] was getting shot" although he expected to get beaten up. When McCord again denied having money, Henderson said he had seen him counting his money inside the store, and tried to reach in McCord's pocket. McCord pushed Henderson's hand away, and Love then hit McCord on the back of his head with the gun. Since the gun "had some weight to it," at that point McCord "assumed it was real."
However, he continued to believe he was not going to be shot, explaining:
So I figured, you know, if they were going to shoot me they'd have done it by then and just took the money and ran.
So I figured, you know, I was just going to get beat up. You know, they're going to try to get in my pockets. And hopefully, you know, because the cops patrol that area, I figured, you know, somebody's going to show up eventually, you know. All I had to do is, you know, protect myself and you know, cover up a little bit and I'd be all right.
McCord also believed that defendants would not want to attract police attention with gunfire.*fn1
Defendants continued to wave the gun in McCord's face and demand his money. They "started wrestling [him] to the ground and digging in [his] pockets." They hit him with the gun, as well as with their fists and feet. McCord "kept [his] head down, [and] tried to block what [he] could." Most of the blows he suffered were to his back and ribs, although he was also hit in the head.
McCord managed to escape inside the deli, but Love followed him. Henderson stayed outside and smashed McCord's bike on the ground. While Love stared at McCord, Mohamed Abdoul-Maoula, the deli cashier, asked McCord if there was a problem. Not wanting any additional trouble and believing the altercation had ended, McCord responded that everything was okay, and he left the store. He testified that he did not ask Abdoul-Maoula to call 9-1-1 because he did not want to give defendants a reason to shoot him, and he also was concerned about Abdoul-Maoula's immediate safety and possible later reprisals against his business. At trial, Abdoul-Maoula denied that anything happened in the store that day, and further denied seeing anyone with a gun.
McCord testified that he left the store and walked away, thinking he could reach a nearby location where he knew a police officer usually parked. However, defendants followed and attacked McCord again in front of a parking garage. One of the defendants said "[f]uck it, just shoot him." But instead, they pulled McCord to the ground, dug in his pockets, and kicked, hit, and stomped him. They pulled McCord's pants halfway down to his knees while trying to access his pockets. McCord did not see the gun during the second attack. He recalled that during the second attack, a police car drove up and an undercover officer emerged from the vehicle and rescued him. As soon as he realized he was safe, the stress of the attack caught up with him, and McCord began vomiting at the scene and felt "dazed."
According to her trial testimony, Adriana Hunt witnessed the initial altercation as she passed by the deli, and she called 9-1-1. She testified that she saw two black males, one wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and one wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, pull a small, black gun on a white male and "proceed[] to beat him up." Hunt identified the assailant wearing the black sweatshirt as the one holding the gun. She explained that the man with the gun put his arm around McCord and pointed the gun at McCord's chest. McCord did not defend himself.
Hunt then saw McCord enter the deli while one of the black men threw McCord's bike on the ground. When McCord left the deli, Hunt continued to watch all three men walk up the street. She testified that the two black men again started punching and kicking McCord while he did nothing to defend himself. Eventually, an unmarked police car arrived, and the assault stopped.
Detective Scott Cholewa of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office was traveling through Asbury Park on two unrelated cases when he saw defendants and McCord on the side of the road. McCord was half-kneeling on the sidewalk, covering his head, while defendants punched and kicked him. Cholewa sounded his siren, got out of the car, and identified himself.
McCord got up and walked toward Cholewa, while Love and Henderson walked away. Cholewa grabbed Henderson and McCord to search them. He described McCord as "a little bit maybe dazed," and Henderson as "calm." Henderson told Cholewa that he was trying to get money McCord had taken from him. Love watched from about thirty-five feet away. Cholewa saw about five Asbury Park police cars approaching behind Love, but he did not see Love holding a weapon.
Detective Darius Davis, who was a patrolman at the time of the arrest, testified that he was the first Asbury Park Police Department officer to arrive on the scene. He witnessed defendants standing over McCord yelling at him as he crouched on his knees on the ground. Davis, as well as another officer, then-patrolman Alastair Sweeney, testified that Love, who was holding a gun, started to walk away. Davis got out of his car, drew his gun, and ordered Love to "put the gun down" and "get on the ground." Love walked to a grassy area, dropped the gun, continued walking, and only got on the ground when more officers arrived. Henderson got on the ground almost immediately.
Davis took Love into custody. Another officer, Lorenzo Pettway, secured Love's gun, which he believed was a real firearm. The gun "was unloaded. There was no round in the chamber, and there was no magazine in the gun." Officers searched the area and did not find a magazine. As Sweeney placed Love in the back of his car, Love nodded toward a chain link fence and said, "I just picked the gun up from over there."
At trial, the State and defendants stipulated that the gun did not qualify as a firearm under New Jersey law because it was a "starter pistol" and had not been "altered to fire fixed ammunition and/or projectiles."
According to the police witnesses, when they arrived, McCord's "nerves were shot" and he "threw up." Although he told them he did not get a good look at defendants, he identified the man with the gun as a black male with "kind of light skin" wearing a dark jacket. He confirmed to the police that the two men who were arrested were his attackers.
McCord also declined first aid, despite having a bloody cut on his head from where he was struck with the gun. Sweeney described McCord as "seem[ing] to be in shock" and "a bit shaken up." McCord later explained that at the time he made his statement to police, he only was aware of the cut on the back of his head, but the pain of his other injuries set in later. McCord believed that he "probably should have" sought treatment since he had a problem with [his] back every time [he] sat back. It felt like [he] had a broken rib or something. [He'd] get a sharp pain and it would take [his] breath away. . . . [T]he next day [he] figured . . . it's too late so [he] didn't bother going.
Defendant Love told a considerably different story than McCord. According to Love, who testified at trial, McCord was in the deli when Love arrived there with his cousin, Henderson. Henderson stayed in the store while Love waited outside. After about thirty seconds, McCord exited and jogged away. Henderson came outside ...
