AWANA competition
We held our first tri-church AWANA competition. With much pride we in Ciudad Nueva took home the trophy. All the kids and tios that participated had great spirits and energy. People were cheering louder than at a soccer match. There were no fights, just laughs, cheers, and celebration. It was great to see that the other team from Ciudad Nueva that lost cheered their hearts out because the other team from Ciudad Nueva won. They didn't care that they lost and they were happy to see their friends from the church win. A great testament of what God is doing in the children of the churches.
Worship Night
On Friday July 10th the leader of music in the church held a special annual night of worship. It was very beautiful and all three churches came together with the missions team to sing songs of praise to our Lord for hours. It was incredible and many were moved.
Vidal and Sandra's Wedding
Here is Vidal and Sandra at their special wedding day on July 4th...Happy Independence Day.
Vidal and Sadra are long time members in the church and a simple conversation was the only thing needed to talk about why they hadn't had the wedding ceremony yet. It was combination of lack of money and not understanding the importance of marriage in God's eyes.
God is doing amazing things here and we are blessed to be a part. Thank you all for your interest and prayers. You are all a vital part of what we are doing here.
We had a very special service last Sunday. We have been praying, teaching, and discipleing the importance of baptism with the youth group these last few months. In March we were going to have a special trip to the beach and have a few baptisms, but then I tore a ligament in my knee and we didn't have a driver.
Since then we have travelled to Santiago and the US and now we have been back for a few weeks and the number of baptisms jumped up to 7. There are still a couple of teenagers that will be getting baptized in the next couple of months for sure, but here are those from last Sunday.
It was a great day of joy and celebration. Thank God in your prayers for what He is doing here.
The team from Hope Christian Church in Tustin left last night amidst quite a few car problems...but we woke up to a pleasant surprise. But lets begin a few weeks ago.
When we returned from the states I brought back a Hummingbird feeder. There have been a lot of them coming around throughout the days. A few days ago I noticed that there are now a couple of babies that have been visiting us to eat. It is relaxing to sit outside and watch them come and eat and fight over the sugar water.
Well, this morning we woke up to Kobe, our dog, barking and acting kind of weird. At first I though he was playing with someone who might of come up from downstairs. I got up just in case. At the living room window was a hummingbird flying pressed up against it trying to get outside. The good news is he didn't run into it too hard and knock himself out or kill himself like some birds do...but the better news is that since the hummingbirds have grown somewhat used to me being around I was able to walk up and gently cup my hands around him and he didn't resist. So I brought chiqui a little surprise in bed, a hummingbird cupped in my hands.
Then I let him go quickly so he wouldn't get too stressed. Seconds after letting him go I thought, "I probably should have taken a photo." Well I forgot so you will just have to wait until next time to see the photos.

Hope Christian
We have a new team here from Tustin who will be presenting Mimes and Puppets to different strategic schools around the churches in order to connect them with the children's and youth programs. Hope Christian comes every year and always prepares great presentations.
Also, the first week they will be doing quite a bit of construction as well in the churches. It will be a very busy couple of weeks and they will be very tired. Please pray for the team and their time here that they will be a light to many children and youth in the neighborhoods through their presentations. Also, that we will be able to connect with many of their parents.
The team will be here until July 17th.

Kermit's Last Day
so monday was our day-off and what a day it was...but it all started the night before. we met a couple of gringos from texas and colorado sunday night and we played basketball, soccer, and volleyball with the churches and neighbors. you see, frog smoothies are a typical drink here in tacna. now not everyone drinks them, nor do many even want to try them, but you kind find them in different parts of the city.
9:30am - we met at the plaza and went to the smoothie shop, not your typical Java Juice.
10am - not looking so good. the girl working there doesn't even want to touch the frog, the other guy picked one up and showed it to us but he doesn't know how to peel them...yeah, peel the frogs skin off. but we still have hope because the owner knows how and should be in in a little bit after he recovers from an obvious long night.
11:30am - owner is at the shop and IT'S ON! we all get out our cameras and he picks out the frog. steps into the open door kitchen. grabs the frog by the legs, lifts his arm in the air and brings it down fast and SMACK! the frog is now dead. now begins the peeling process which is also quick. he finally brings it out in the blender (that's how you make smoothies you know) and pours some brown liquid into it, a spoon full of this powder and a spoon full of that powder and let the blending begin.
11:45 - it is served and we are hesitant. the smell is really bad and alfredo, the guy next to me almost pukes. but we man up and get our puke plans ready...where will each of us go just in case. 1...2...3 and we downed it. all four of us and we didn't throw up. a great day off indeed.
it actually wasn't that bad at all. kind of tasted like chocolate milk, but with little blended chunks of kermit and the bottom. and that was Kermit's last day! add him to the list of the latest.

Photo by District 46 resident Jeremy Rosendale
The 433rd Session of the Maryland General Assembly ended at midnight on April 8, after 90 days of intense activity. Over the course of the Session, we came together for what has been called one of the most productive Sessions in generations.
Working together, we invested in education, expanded economic opportunity, protected our community from gun violence, funded transportation infrastructure, protected consumers from predatory debt collectors, and created a more compassionate framework for medical marijuana research. I've heard from you regarding these important issues and many others, and I want to thank you for your engagement. I am honored to represent you in the House of Delegates, and I thank you for the opportunity to work with my District 46 colleagues – Senator Bill Ferguson, Delegate Pete Hammen, and Delegate Brian McHale – to represent our community in Annapolis.
School Funding
For the fifth year in a row Maryland public schools are ranked number one in the country. But, especially in Baltimore City, we have a long way to go. We must give our children the best chance for success by creating an environment where learning is not distracted by crumbling buildings and outdated amenities. Through the tireless work of my colleagues in the Baltimore City Delegation, we were able to secure $1 billion in investment in our city's school facilities, which will allow the BCPS to bring our schools into the 21st Century, and provide our students with the resources they need to succeed, and the respect they deserve.
Job Creation
I was proud to co-sponsor the EARN program to connect Marylanders with the skills they need to compete. The EARN program will provide funding for workforce training collaborations between businesses, local government, and non-profits so that Maryland's working families have the skills necessary for employment and advancement into sustainable jobs. As a result of more coordinated and targeted training, the EARN Program will create jobs by closing the gap between the needs of employers, and the skills of Maryland's workforce.
Preventing Gun Violence
Gun violence remains a serious concern in Baltimore. While I commend the City for the decrease in overall violent crime, the level of gun violence in Baltimore remains unacceptably high. This Session, we gave law enforcement stronger tools to combat gun violence, to deter and prosecute straw purchasers, and to limit the deadliness of guns. I was proud to co-sponsor the Firearms Safety Act of 2013, a comprehensive, common sense approach to dealing with the continuing issue of gun violence while respecting the 2nd Amendment. The Act requires new owners of regulated firearms to be licensed and fingerprinted by the State, bans the deadliest guns and bullets, reduces the ammunition clip size to ten rounds or less, and increasing our attention to mental illness.
I am also pleased that legislation that I introduced to deter and prosecute straw purchasers was incorporated into the Act. The provision (introduced as HB 1077) will require the owner of a firearm to tell police within 72 hours if their gun is lost or stolen. Requiring reporting of lost and stolen guns will help police investigations into gun crimes, and will deter straw purchasers from claiming the weapon was lost or stolen after it is used in a crime.
The 2013 Session saw some significant legislation as it relates to the law related to domesticated animals. We passed legislation to develop a statewide spay and neuter fund to combat overpopulation and stop unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats. I co-sponsored legislation to prevent the trade in shark fins that will decrease devastating environmental and ecological impacts. Sadly, the two chambers were unable to come to a compromise to address the Solesky court decision. However, I will continue to work to pass legislation that will allow responsible pet owners to stay in their homes with their dog, no matter the breed.
Baltimore City is in need of transportation and infrastructure improvements. The Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act will tie our state's gas tax to the rate of inflation so that we can make the investments our transportation infrastructure sorely needs. The Act creates a new 3% sales tax on gasoline that will be phased in by 2016, with the funds generated dedicated to creating new, efficient public transportation options and infrastructure enhancements. While it is essential to provide maintenance funding for our existing infrastructure, we must think innovatively, sustainably, and comprehensively moving forward. I am committed to ensuring that we create, plan, and implement timely, affordable, and dependable modes of public transportation throughout our City. I support improvements to the MARC service, including additional hours on weekends from Penn Station; creation of a multi-line light rail or trolley system that complements existing and proposed transit lines; new circulator lines throughout the City; and better and safer options for bicycle and pedestrian transportation.
This Session saw the passage of legislation that creates a state commission to oversee medical marijuana programs at academic medical research centers. This will provide a scientific basis and understanding for any future legislation regarding marijuana. Another piece of legislation removes caregivers from being held responsible for helping a person with a debilitating medical condition to use prescribed marijuana.
Consumer Protection
Together, we passed legislation to protect consumers from predatory debt collectors. I introduced HB 596, which will keep people out of jail for failing to pay debt, and prevent collectors from using our courts to bully our citizens.
Community Energy
I co-sponsored legislation that would create a three-year pilot program to allow groups of renters and/or homeowners to develop, install, and utilize renewable energy. This would improve the current law, which says that only individual homes can receive the offset benefits of renewable generation. Although, the legislation did not pass, I am more determined than ever to rework this legislation and come back next Session and pass the bill.
Again, I want to express my sincere gratitude for giving me the opportunity to serve you in the General Assembly. I appreciate your engagement in the legislative process, and I look forward to seeing you this Spring and Summer as I visit the neighborhoods of the 46th District.

Four Roses Single Barrel Limited Edition 2014 Release
Bottle 2437 of 7122
What the Distillery Says:
For the 2014 Four Roses Single Barrel Limited Edition release, we have once again hand-selected an uncut and non-chill filtered Barrel Strength masterpiece.
One quick nose of this vibrant, yet mellow Bourbon and you will quickly discover that it is unlike any limited edition we've ever released. Our Master Distiller hand selected it from our 10 distinct Bourbon recipes because of the unique clove and fruit aromas that mingle delicately with hints of sweet toffee and brown sugar. Creamy mint and bright flavors of ripe cherries, vanilla and pear entertain your palate, then give way to a long, smooth finish of candied fruit and sweetened oak. This is one of the most uncommon and extraordinary Bourbons yet in a Four Roses' bottle. In your favorite glass, it will be even better.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Candied fruit and clove.
Palate: Creamy and fresh with vibrant flavors of ripe cherries, red currants, pear, vanilla and caramel.
Finish: Mellow-sweetened oak and sweet, candied fruit.
OESF – 11 years
What Richard Says:
Nose: Interesting spicy nose. Not peppery but more baking spices like Thanksgiving or Christmas pies.
Palate: It pops with notes of a cherry crisp with cinnamon vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
Finish: Oak, bananas, and lots of cocoa powder.
Comments: Excellent, really excellent. This is a stellar example of the OESF Four Roses recipe. It came out a few months ago but a few can still be had if you look hard enough. By all means buy this one.
Rating: Must Buy

the burkina kitchen project
When Brian returned from his first Burkina Faso, Africa trip, his pictures tugged at my heart. One set of pictures especially grabbed me. The women who cook for hundreds of students at the school in Burkina and at the Compassion site, cook in the dirt. They do not have kitchens. Somehow, as a woman, I felt like these women needed a kitchen. Every woman who has to cook for that many kids needs a kitchen! I thought that if we as women could donate to have a kitchen built, we could not only make their job so much easier, but we could aid in creating a healthy environment for these children as well.
One in 3.5 children in Burkina will die before they turn 10 years old, because they do not have food and water; so while I catch myself letting my water run in my kitchen faucet, these kids are starving and dying. This is not a National Geographic picture of a place that we will never see. This is where West Ridge Church has a family on the ground, a ministry that we can travel to and see for ourselves! Last year, Brian had the opportunity to meet the little girl that we sponsor, and when we build this kitchen, I am going to go and see it for myself!! God is doing amazing things in Burkina Faso, and when we get $25,000. we can add to that by building a kitchen!!!!! When you cook dinner with your stove and oven and use running water and , oh my gosh, a dishwasher, think about the women cooking in the dirt, and pray about donating to the Burkina Kitchen Project. You can be a part of changing lives!!!!!
To donate go to www.engageburkina.com.

I REMEMBER a time when Sunday afternoons were for lazy lunches, lovely walks and relaxation.
Well in the Brown household our Sunday became the day of the family afternoon nap.
My little man was exhausted after a sleepover with his cousin which, naturally, involved a late bed time. And my little lady is still very much in need of her naps.
So, on this new snooze day we went out for the morning to the park, for a little walk and a cuppa before heading home with two conked out kids.
We put them to bed and thought about what we should do – housework, preparing the tea, relaxing together and watching a film.
Well the verdict was ... have an afternoon nap ourselves.
In my teens and twenties the notion of an afternoon nap would have been incomprehensible, except as some part of a recovery process from the night before.
But an afternoon nap or any other reason ...? That is for old people.
Well it seems I'm deeming myself 'old' because I'm officially exhausted and my hubby and I were snoozing the afternoon away while the young were out enjoying themselves.
Maybe I can blame it all on the winter and the cold weather making me and my hubby want to hibernate.
Or it could be the fact illness has been hanging around our house like a the guest who won't leave, and it is sucking all of the energy away and making us sleepy.
Of course we are juggling the demands of work, home and kids every day, but even we are sleepier than even our normal standards.
Fingers crossed when the spring arrives it will bring with it renewed energy making my battle with the ironing basket less Herculean. And packing up the supplies – and ditching the hats, gloves and scarves – for a family day out won't be such an effort.
But for now I think I will continue to hide under my duvet and snooze the winter Sunday afternoons away – even if it makes me sound old!
What is a holiday?
One of my best friends is having a baby this summer, and she was lamenting the fact she won't go abroad this year.
This year? – I have not been abroad since my honeymoon in 2006! Instead I told her should would be joining the Butlins club and she was horrified.
Not that there is anything wrong with Butlins (as you know we love it).
But while lazing on a beach is a distant memory for me – changing the definition of 'holiday' it is sudden realisation for her.

How's it going? So, I know I've bragged about our garden this year (see here and here) and I'm seriously just so freaking impressed with it that I'm not even about to take all the credit! No kidding, I was just telling Joe that I think the eclipse earlier this year, and the blood moon and mother nature are totally what is making everything grow so well this season! I don't want to jinx it by bragging though, especially since the heat is settling in, so I'm just going to share some pictures and tell you my plans for the month and be on my way 😀
one of several strawberry plants we've got going on, this one in a pot – the ones in the garden bed are much bigger, but aren't flowering and we haven't seen a berry in a while
this pepper plant is at least two years old, and was recently damaged in an epic windstorm a couple weeks ago… it's producing amazingly, but the peppers have always been small, thin-skinned and bitter. i'm letting them turn to red before picking this season and if that doesn't help their flavor, this plant will be going to the compost pile.
the lavender is LOVING all the water the roses get! look how big it is 🙂
in total, there are three pea plants, three tomatoes, eleven onions left, one frustrating bell pepper, three basil and two strawberry plants in the raised bed
a sweet friend gave me a couple mint transplants, and i think the plant to the left is a flower of some sort
remember my mystery compost plant from last month (here)? it's a potato plant! i transplanted it into the garden
the most cherry tomatoes i've ever had at one time-eeee!
this pot sort of cracks me up… i planted a pepper plant in it this year, and it had a tomato plant and vincas in it last year. those came back on their own, and i must have tossed some flower seeds in there because those are growing too! it's always a surprise when i see what pops up 🙂
last month, this pot had cilantro in it that was waiting to go to seed. it finally did so i ripped all of it out and harvested coriander seed from it. the tomato plant is doing so much better on it's own!
i think we have the weirdest lantana… it is very stringy and spreads quick, unlike the lantana i see everywhere else that creates more of a bush. at least it's pretty because it certainly doesn't behave!
i was under the impression i was planting a fall annual when i put the vincas here, but it's only gotten better and bigger ever since. it's lasted since the end of last summer!
more magical vinca, and finally a wildflower poppy that i put in as seed last fall!
So there you go, my pretty little garden! I'm off to do my little garden dance so it keeps on keeping on 🙂 My only other plan is to keep everything watered and fertilized with my fingers crossed that I get lots of produce soon! How is your garden going? Have you planted yet? I'd love to hear about it, so please, drop me a line!

There are two schools of thought when it comes to comparing American and German performance cars. German cars for example are generally more refined, pack in more technology and cater more to the driving experience, where the American's simply stuff bigger and bigger hammers under the hood. In my experience, neither of these styles is correct, they're just different. Motor Trends Jonny Lieberman and hot-shoe racer Randy Pobst, recently paired the new 2014 SRT Viper with the Mercedes-Benz SLS Black Series to see which 600 horsepower hammer is the best. Check it out after the jump.

Binary Options
A binary option is when a buyer enters into a contract to purchase an underlying asset at a fixed price at a pre-determined time in the future.
Different from buying stocks and shares outright, with a binary option you are purchasing the right but not the obligation to buy shares of a stock and with its "All or Nothing" outcome the buyer is always aware of their losses from the start.
The potential loss or gain is determined by the amount invested by the owner and there are only ever 2 possible outcomes. If the option expires in-the-money the owner receives a 65-71% payout or if the option expires out-of-the-money the owner generally receives nothing, although there are a select few binary option platforms which offer a 15% return on all out-of-the-money results.
For example, if a buyer were to purchase a $100 option of XYZ Ltd with a 70% return rate promised of that chosen stock, an in-the-money result at the time of expiration would promise a $170 payout ($70 earnings plus the original premium of $100). If the result was an out-of-the-money finish the buyer would not lose more than their original premium of $100 and in some cases cold walk away with $15 (15% out-of-the-money payout).

And My Mom's Favorite Seattle Seahawks Player Is…
Feb 01
Surprisingly enough, despite my mom's overall sports illiteracy, she does watch games. Okay, it's mostly so she can make bets with her husband, but hey, those are just details. Last year, you may recall my little Korean mother rooting for the Seattle Seahawks and winning a whopping $20 when they clinched the championship. This year she remains a Seahawks fan, but when I asked her who her favorite player was, things got interesting.
Me: "Are you watching the Super Bowl today? Did you make a bet as to who will win?"
Mom: "Yes baby Go Seahawks bet with Kurt $100 .00 :D"
Me: "Who's your favorite Seahawks player?"
Mom: "Quarter big mouth ha ha"
Jason and I both tried and failed to decipher who she was talking about. Russell Wilson is a quarterback but he doesn't have a big mouth. Richard Sherman has a big mouth but he's not a quarterback. What does it mean?!
Unable to identify who she meant, I asked for clarification.
Me: "Who's that?"
Mom: "Bj daniels I like Running back Marsh Lynch Go go go bad boys :D"
"Marsh" Lynch is, as I'm sure you can guess, Marshawn Lynch. A popular choice, sure. And okay, so my mom, much like many women, has a soft spot for "bad" boys. That's not terribly surprising.
But B.J. Daniels?! He's a backup quarterback for the Seahawks, is in his second season and, to my knowledge, has never played an NFL game before. I had to look up his non-stats because I had no idea who he was. My mother's favorite Seattle Seahawks is a dude who played for South Florida, was drafted in the seventh round by the San Francisco 49ers, and majored in Criminology. Is she really impressed with the way he cheers from the sidelines or something? Does she have a soft spot for 26-year old dudes with Criminology degrees? Why, Mom, why? How does that brain of yours work?
My response: "Haha, you're funny"
Without skipping a beat, she fired back with: "Your Mom is Cool !!!!"
She's weird as hell, but yes, I'd have to agree that my mom is pretty damn cool. Also, hey, B.J. Daniels, your biggest fan may very well be a 60-something diminutive Korean woman who lives in Michigan. So you've got that going for you. (Oh, and go Seahawks!)
A couple hours after our initial exchange, my mom followed up with this gem that I'm sharing in all its unedited glory:
Mom: "Rebecca I got the all the name wrongl like quarterback Russell where is some and then running back longhair Bigmouth !"
Based on those descriptions, I'm guessing she got B.J. Daniels confused with Russell Where-is-some and also wanted to say that she's a fan of Marshawn Lynch, aka "Longhair Bigmouth." Sorry, B.J., but at least you went two glorious hours thinking that my mom was your biggest fan.

text: Oregon: Gun Bills to be Heard in Abbreviated Legislative Season The 2012 session of the Oregon Legislature convenes this Wednesday, February 1. Several pro-gun and anti-gun bills are expected to be introduced during this thirty day session. The following is a brief update of bills that will be making their way through the process: Senate Bill 1550, introduced by state Senate President Pro Tem Ginny Burdick (D-18), would amend ORS 166.370 by creating a new prohibition, also a Class C felony, on possessing a firearm or other instrument used as a dangerous weapon, while on school grounds. The definition of school grounds would specifically include not just K-12 schools, colleges, and universities (as the public building ban does), but also community colleges. This bill is in response to the Oregon Court of Appeals ruling which ruled that universities do not have the authority to ban License to Carry a Concealed Handgun (LCCH) holders from carrying on campus grounds. Senate Bill 1551, also authored by state Senator Burdick (D-18), is even more dangerous than SB 1550, in that it expands the prohibition on carrying in public buildings. State Senator Floyd Prozanski (D-4), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is trying his hand at the gun bill game by introducing Senate Bill 1574, a measure that would set up a system whereby Oregon LCCH holders could enjoy limited reciprocity with other states. Unfortunately, this measure is narrow in scope in that it allows for "subsets" of reciprocal licenses that would be dependent upon national databases available to law enforcement in the field called "verifiable reciprocal licenses." This could create a scenario whereby an individual carrying a concealed firearm on a reciprocal license that was not a "verifiable reciprocal license," could be arrested and the validity of the license would be a matter to be resolved in a subsequent investigation and prosecution. Senator Prozanski has rebuffed the NRA in crafting a clean and concise reciprocal LCCH measure in favor of one that could put law-abiding gun owners at risk, which is why the NRA is opposing SB 1574. Two pro-gun bills have also been introduced: House Bill 4045, by state Representative Kim Thatcher (R-25), would allow for the confidentiality of LCCH holders personal information, and House Bill 4054, by state Representative Jim Thompson (R-23), would prohibit the Public Employees' Benefit Board from authorizing or requiring the collection of information or maintenance of records about firearms from eligible employees or family members applying for health benefits. Representative Thompson's bill was introduced after the efforts of state Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli (R-30), who secured commitments from both Kaiser Permanente and the Public Employee's Benefit Board to purge gun ownership data that had been collected after implementing a new employee initiative called the "Health Engagement Model" where information related to firearm ownership was required to be submitted on the initiative's questionnaire. After Senator Ferrioli's inquiries, both plans dropped the questions related to firearms.

Antigone vs Ismene by Sophocles
The personalities of the two sisters; Antigone and Ismene, are as different from
one another as tempered steel is from a ball of cotton. One is hard and resistant; the
other: pliable, absorbing and soft. Antigone would have been a strong, successful
90's type woman with her liberated and strong attitude towards her femininity, while
Ismene seems to be a more dependent 1950's style woman. Antigone acts as a free
spirit, a defiant individual, while Ismene is content to recognize her own limitations and
her inferiority of being a woman.

RUTO plans to dump UHURU ahead of polls? See what is happening at his private office in NairobiCounty Politics, News 09:04
Tuesday April 11, 2017 - Deputy President William Ruto may be planning to ditch Jubilee for a smaller party even as he hopes to remain the running mate of President Uhuru Kenyatta during the August 8th General Election.
This is after he gave a clear indication that he has direct links with one of the small parties registered by Jubilee - Party of Development and Reforms (PDR).
The DP has even allowed the little known party to occupy his private office, situated in Nairobi's Central Business District.
The party is now operating from the 9th floor of the Trans National Bank House along City Hall Way.

Leeds United central midfielder Luke Murphy has joined fellow Sky Bet Championship side Burton Albion on loan for the rest of the season, the Brewers official Twitter has announced.
The Brewers announced that 27-year-old Luke Murphy had joined from Leeds on loan for the remainder of the campaign this afternoon.
The central midfielder started his playing career at Sky Bet League Two side Crewe Alexandra before making his move to Leeds United in June 2013 where he's gone on to make over 100 appearances for the West Yorkshire side.
Murphy made 37 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship last season for Leeds United meaning he has plenty of experience at this level which could really help Burton Albion beat the drop this term.
Murphy will be eligible to play in tomorrow's Emirates FA Cup tie against Watford at Vicarage Road and will wear the squad number 30 during his time at the Pirelli Stadium.
Talking about his move to Burton Albion's media department, Murphy stated: "As soon as I found out there was a chance of coming here I really wanted to make it happen.
"It's a very ambitious club and they've proved that in the last few years with the promotions. With the manager that's here I've always wanted to try and play for him and hopefully I can help the team do well and finish the season good."
Brewers boss Nigel Clough spoke about the loan signing: "Luke is another experienced Championship player to add to our squad. He's a midfielder that played 38 times for Leeds last season, and he's only 27 years old. He has a lot of experience so we hope he will bring that to the team, he's a good addition for us."

How to Charge your Tablet or Smartphone Fast?
In recent times the smart mobile devices viz the Tablets and smartphones have become more than necessary in our day to day life. With all this needs, these smart mobile devices only tend to become an extension of your hand in a few cases if not more. For smart devices there are a lot of varieties. There are devices that run on android and iOS for iPad and iPhone that are more popular, followed by the Windows devices and Blackberry.
To work well, however, these small and smart handy gadgets need energy which they draw from batteries and the batteries in turn needs regular charging. In fact, because these devices usually have large requirements, the loads are also relatively common and are ideally done once in every one or two days. There are also demanding users who charge their devices even two or three times a day! However, the problem with the batteries lies not only in the frequency of loading.
The best thing we can do is to plan ahead the load of our devices when we do not need our smart devices, eg when we go to sleep at night. Also one good thing would be, whenever possible, it is better to conduct a full charge cycles. But can we do anything if we want to charge our device very quickly so as to use it in a forth coming business meeting or in some other emergent situation?
Let us look at a few tricks: First, disable those networks which you do not need such as the GPS, the bluetooth, the wi-fi and the 3G. These networks only dry up the battery very soon. For even faster charging of the battery, it is recommended to turn your mobile or tablet on flight mode thus closing all the networks including the plain 2G mobile network. In this way the load can be accelerated to a very great extend.
Second, lower the monitor's brightness to the minimum. This helps because after charging the wireless networks, more battery power remains in the screen. If you want even faster charging then you must close the mobile phone or tablet completely and connect the charger to the socket and then disable the device. Of course, you should not forget that the above tricks apply only to accelerate the load and not the quality. Anyway all batteries have limited life cycles of some complete charge and discharge function.

Istanbul (AFP) - A Turkish citizen fighting in Syria who Moscow has accused of killing a Russian pilot said Friday he was not scared Russian forces are targeting him, after making an unexpected public appearance in Istanbul.
Alparslan Celik has been accused by Russia of killing in cold blood Russian pilot Oleg Peshkov as he parachuted to the ground after his plane was shot down by Turkish air forces on the Syrian border on November 24.
Turkish newspapers Thursday carried pictures of Celik attending the funeral in Istanbul's Fatih district this week of Ibrahim Kucuk, a Turkish nationalist local politician who was killed fighting with a Turkmen militia in Syria.
It was Celik's first appearance inside Turkey since the shooting down of the Russian Su-24 and Peshkov's killing caused an unprecedented crisis in relations between Ankara and Moscow.
"I went to (Syria) for Allah. Our souls were given to us by Allah. Only Allah can take what was given and it is with this belief that we are fighting," Celik told the Dogan news agency in an interview.
"I don't have any such fear (of being targeted by Russia). We will continue our struggle until the last drop of our blood flows," he added.
Celik, the son of a prominent local politician from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has since 2014 been fighting alongside Turkmen forces in Syria.
The Turkmen, one of majority Arab Syria's ethnic minorities, speak a language very similar to modern Turkish and are staunch allies of Ankara in fighting forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The Hurriyet daily quoted Celik as saying at the funeral in Istanbul that he went "in-and-out" of Syria and would be going there again.
Russia's ambassador to Ankara Andrei Karlov had in December directly accused Celik of shooting Peshkov.
Celik has never directly confirmed or denied the circumstances of the pilot's death.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in December also urged Turkey to arrest Celik and his accomplices and "bring them to justice for the murder of the Russian pilot."

Industry Trend Analysis - LNG Projects Key To Consumption Growth - JUNE 2017
BMI View: The bulk of Pakistan ' s incremental gas needs will be met via LNG imports, as production declines at ag e ing fields and recent discoveries lack sufficient scale to reliably offset demand. The government has made alleviating domestic gas shortfall a priority, improving the outlook on several planned and proposed LNG projects in the country.
Pakistan's natural gas consumption is poised to increase from an estimated 48.2billion cubic metre (bcm) in 2017 to around 56.0bcm by 2021, amid intensifying state-led efforts to alleviate chronic gas shortages at home. Notably, government efforts will focus on adding more LNG import capacity and expanding domestic gas pipeline connectivity, particularly to more rural and remote areas, in order to boost gas supply availability and delivery to end-users.
The domestic pipeline infrastructure space could see a material upsurge in investment inflows in the coming quarters, especially in large gas-producing provinces such as Sindh, Khyber-Paktunkwa and Baluchistan, following Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's April 2017 decision to lift the longstanding nationwide moratorium on new gas connections. Pakistan had banned new gas connections to commercial, industrial and residential sectors since 2009 amid concerns that domestic gas supplies were depleting too rapidly. However, gradual signs of rebounding risk appetite in the onshore exploration scene and improving access to LNG imports appear to have steered the drive to a reversal.

With 56 days left until Christmas parcel delivery giant UPS is expecting to set another record this holiday season in terms of the number of packages it will deliver.
It expects to handle 585 million packages in December, an 11% increase over last year's level. And while its peak delivery day is expected to happen on Dec. 22, when it plans to deliver 34 million packages worldwide, six days are expected to surpass last year's single-day delivery record of 31 million packages.
For comparison, the company delivers about 17 million packages worldwide on an average day.
UPS said it has been preparing for the season by outfitting 47 new and expanded facilities and installing flexible capacity across its network. "Some 15 locations will have modular units - loading doors and connected conveyors configured as stand-alone 'mobile delivery villages' - to expand capacity," UPS said in a release. "Each of these villages can dispatch between 60 and 90 additional vehicles from that center. The company also added new information technology solutions and processes to improve volume forecasting, network capacity visibility, package status tracking and customer communications."
All this is an effort to avoid a repeat of last year when UPS and FedEx failed to delivery packages in time for Christmas, setting off a wave of protests by angry consumers and retailers.
UPS noted this Christmas season it has two additional operational days compared to last year. One is naturally due to the calendar while the second day, Friday, Nov. 28, has been added by the company as a full operations day. Previously the day after Thanksgiving was a holiday for many UPS employees, with the change drawing criticism especially from Teamster Union represented employees, most of whom are covered by a contract that has no language preventing such a switch on "Black Friday."
Last week, UPS main rival, FedEx, announced it was also expecting to see record holiday package volume.

text: Have you been inspired by a project that you have seen on another site? We saw these eggs last year on hello, Wonderful and wanted to give them a try! We tried out a few different techniques, and what makes this process attractive is that you could use any painting process based on your child's age, abilities or interests! Kids seem to be fascinated by any change of size- teeny tiny items and those that are huge. They received a gigantic Bunny card and wanted to make big Easter egg cards! http://www.hellowonderful.co/post/MAKE-MODERN-CARDBOARD-EASTER-EGGS Materials Thicker paper (cardstock etc. The kids ended up using bigger paper than what was shown.) Scissors Painting supplies (You could use sponges, lids, kitchen tools- like a potato masher etc. Anything you like- even finger painting!) Paint Tape (we used painter's tape, but you could use masking tape, washi tape etc.) We always find these items helpful too: Smock Craft tray Directions Cut out your egg shape. Our son's trick is to cut an oval and then to shape the top. Tape lines or designs onto your egg, anchoring them to your tray or painting surface. Don your smock. Paint with any technique you like. We tried using sponges and then finger painting. As you can see on hello, Wonderful's site, they used brushes which would allow for more sophisticated designs for older children. We removed the tape while the paint was still wet so as to prevent it adhering too much. One might require parental assistance with this portion of the project. Allow your work to dry and then write on the back! Purpose Learning what a resist is and ways to create one. Celebrating various holidays and recognizing the symbols that are often associated with them. Creating meaningful opportunities for writing. Safety Notes We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces. Use scissors with care and adult supervision.

Students, parents and staff will work as a team to create a personalized learning environment for all learners. Digital resources (Chromebooks, Schoology, icurio, etc.) will be used to enhance lessons and provide additional resources and opportunities for students with various learning styles and academic abilities.
All teachers have participated in professional development to learn how to integrate the digital tools. Additionally, the district has been building capacity for a project like this. Elementary students complete grade level technology checklists. Students utilize Google apps to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets; participate in digital citizenship education; and use iPad apps to communicate and create. Middle school students take four technology courses and freshman students take online health and take career awareness in a blended environment. Our students and teachers, therefore, are now ready to move forward.
Students and staff will continue to learn these tools together as the district moves forward with the 1:1 initiative. Each year will provide more training, content development and integration experience to meet the projected five year goals of the program.
The district is working with the University of Cincinnati's Evaluation Services Center to evaluate the district's progress towards the following indicators of success.

"The Maybe" by Tilda Swinton at MoMA
As if starring in David Bowie music videos wasn't already the coolest, Tilda Swinton has currently taken up residency sleeping at MoMA. It's part of an unannounced, surprise performance piece called "The Maybe" that will be taking place on random days all year. A MoMA source told us, "Museum staff doesn't know she's coming until the day of, but she's here today. She'll be there the whole day. All that's in the box is cushions and a water jug."
"Tilda Swinton will be doing unannounced, random performance art pieces sleeping in a glass box in the museum," the source added. "Today [March 23, 2013] is the first performance. Each performance lasts the whole day the museum is open." Swinton and her box are located near the ticket collectors today, but the box may be in different locations at other performances.
"The Maybe" was first performed in London in 1995 at the Serpentine Gallery; Swinton conceived the performance piece, and asked artist Cornelia Parker to collaborate on the installation. Swinton later re-performed the piece in the Museo Barracco in Rome. Here's what the museum has to say about the piece: "An integral part of The Maybe's incarnation at MoMA in 2013 is that there is no published schedule for its appearance, no artist's statement released, no museum statement beyond this brief context, no public profile or image issued. Those who find it chance upon it for themselves, live and in real—shared—time: now we see it, now we don't."

the internationally famous performance artist Colette has been doing this as far back as the 1970s-its a little annoying to see ms Swinton and Cornelia Parker be referred to as innovative when they are rather crudely imitating what Colette did first with so much more style and visual elegance

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the comment. Colette was indeed performing sleep pieces in the 70s, but so were a lot of other artists. She was not the first. I think it is a sort of staple of gallery performance art (many years ago I read of a performance artist sleeping under a stairway to an art gallery--I wish I could recall his name!) which continues to this day with artists like Chajana Denharder, and the recent Ukraine exhibit of "Sleeping Beauties" where one was contractually obligated to marry if one woke the sleeper with a kiss!
I haven't seen anyone say that what Tilda or Parker is doing is something completely new and original. Who said that?

In a solitude of the sea
Deep from human vanity,
And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.
Steel chambers, late the pyres
Of her salamandrine fires,
Cold currents thrid, and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres.
Over the mirrors meant
To glass the opulent
The sea-worm crawls--grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent.
Jewels in joy designed
To ravish the sensuous mind
Lie lightless, all their sparkles bleared and black and blind.

From dealing with cancer to the ever-present threat of street violence, there's a lot going on, but the first act of tonight's Season 2 premiere begins with a matter of the heart.
Chad, a fan favorite from the first season, is in for the surprise of his life when his ol' pal shows up to take him on a road trip. "This is the biggest year of his life, and I want to be there for him," Jenks says of his friend who lives with Autism, noting that Chad will not only be graduating soon, but also has his very first girlfriend. And after a quick adventure at the local mini-golf course, Chad takes Andrew to his lady's house, where we'll get to see how he's handling his first relationship. One thing we do know is that he's protective of his gal. "You can't have her, she's mine," Chad says with a smile after Jenks compliments her. "Get that frickin' idea out of your frickin' head!"
Take a look at the first 10 minutes of Season 2 below, head over to MTV ACT for Jenks' pitch on why you should watch his show and tune in for the whole episode tonight at 11/10c!

back, easy going and the allure of natural
beauty make the keys a world class destination.
hard to tell whether the Florida Keys are part of the United States,
or another country in the Caribbean sea – the Florida Keys and
Key West are just so out of this world that it's hard
to be sure exactly where you are. There is a sense of the renegade spirit
among the locals – it was only half in jest when the keys declared
their independence from the US and formed the Conch Republic to protest
drug interdiction road blocks on US1. Key West is also called the Southernmost
City, and Caya Hueso, the Spanish name for the Island. Yet another name
is Bone Island - for the native America human remains found here when
the Spanish came.
wherever you think you are, if you've arrived in the keys, you
joined others who love the area for all the warm watersports –
world class fishing, snorkeling and diving –
kayaking, sailing, swimming, dolphin
encounters – anything to get on the water.
water is truly the main attraction – and it's protected
by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary from Key Largo through
the fabled Fort Jefferson National Park in the Dry Tortugas –
some 70 miles west of Key West. Underwater sightseers will find plentiful
sea life – colorful tropicals, game fish, turtles, conch, sea
fans and manta rays abound.

you a history buff? Stay in one of the island's earliest historic family
estates, The Conch House. This luxurious mansion in the heart of Old
Town Key West was restored to its original elegance in 1993. Listed
on the National Register of Historic Places, the lovely inn truly embodies
the distinctive character of Key West architecture.
The Islands
of Marathon & KCB
crown jewels of the middle keys, Marathon and Key Colony Beach, are blessed
by an abundance of attractions - several nature centers and natural history
museums, and lots of choices in accommodations – from small mom
and pop operations to elegant vacation rentals. Marathon is also home
to the the World Famous Seven Mile Bridge. It's the longest of the
42 bridges that connect the island chain to the mainland – called
the Overseas Highway, this portion of US 1 has been touted as a top ten
scenic drive in many travel guides. If you are lucky enough to arrive
around sunset, stop on the Marathon side of the bridge or any time.
there you can walk along the old highway – a part of the original
railroad that first connected the keys. Built in 1905 and completed in
1912 by Henry Flagler, 35 or 40 miles of track were washed out in the
Hurricane of 1935 (hurricanes were not named then).
can walk the old bridge all the way out to Pigeon
Key, a small island that was once home to the railroad workers. Many
of the original buildings still stand and the island is now used by scientists
studying the marine life of the keys and visited by tourists. You can
also get out there by trolley from Knight Key. From the bridge you are
able to spot rays, turtles, and an occasional shark - maybe even a hammerhead.
On the
other side of the 7 mile bridge (which is really only 6.7 miles) lies
the lower keys – and another bridge of note – Bahia Honda
Bridge – perhaps the most photographed bridge in the keys. It is
also the anchor for Bahia Honday State Park – an area of lovely
beaches (most of which cannot be seen from the highway – protected
swimming and sailboat anchorage and a great jumping off point to diving
Looe Key, the coral jewel of the lower keys.

A few
miles west is Big Pine Key, the most unspoiled of all the keys –
and the second largest at roughly 3 by 6 miles - only Key Largo is larger.
The government or the Nature Conservancy owns most of the land, so despite
a commercial corridor of dive shops, restaurants and other conveniences,
Big Pine retains the flavor of the early keys life. The island owes its
protection to the diminutive Key Deer, a sub-species of the North American
White Tailed Deer that is endemic to the lower keys. It was hunted nearly
to extinction and in the 1950s a man named Watson sought successfully
to protect the deer.

Now is the time to invest in sustainable energy - before Brexit bites
Lorien is advising firms to embed energy resilience as UK enjoys a breather from rising costs, but as we also prepare for Brexit.
Businesses should take advantage of stable energy prices and invest in sustainability now, according to Lorien Engineering Solutions.
The latest Lorien Energy Index (LEI) shows that prices increased by around one per cent between quarters two and three of 2016. This is four per cent lower than the same period in 2015.
Sustainability consultant Tom Jordan said: "Now is the time to embed sustainability, energy and resilience into strategic planning whilst the delay from the upward trend in energy costs has given the sector a breather.
"The precautionary principle taught in environmental economics is that 'doing nothing' is a gamble. Once the energy markets have rebalanced, it is expected that the overall costs of energy from fossil fuels will realign with the upward trend previously seen."
Burton-based Lorien Engineering Solutions, which produces the Index, said there was an element of 'the boy who cried wolf' for energy customers looking to manage future costs.
Before the dramatic fall in oil wholesale prices, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) warned that business energy costs were predicted to rise by around a third by 2030.
Even with historically low wholesale prices, there were also warnings from Utilitywise last year that although the wholesale cost of electricity to industry will remain static to 2021, this could more than double when the additional factors of climate change mitigation, network and transmission charges are factored in.
This is echoed within Energyst's 2017 Directors Report, which states that non-commodity costs will soon make up two-thirds of energy bills.
Tom said the food and drink manufacturing sector faced a major challenge due to its high reliance on energy for processing, product chilling and cold chain logistics. He said many facilities were also struggling with ageing plant, the constraints of old buildings and the lack of available space to develop.
He added: "It is pleasing to see the Government's Green Paper 'Building our Industrial Strategy' placing emphasis on energy innovation. This presents a great opportunity in the medium to long term, althou gh there is much that can be done now to enhance business resilience to energy costs. "
And with Brexit round the corner, many manufacturers in the UK are looking sceptically at the current low energy prices.
The "Lorien Energy Index" monitors the overall cost of energy for business users. It enables companies to make sense of their current energy consumption and look at ways they can make savings in the future through energy efficiency and using low carbon and renewable technologies to boost energy security.

GARRISON S. JOHNSON, PLAINTIFF,v.DOVEY, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Dennis L. Beck United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM (Docs. 46, 49, 54)
ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM WITHIN TWENTY DAYS (Doc. 50)
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL MASTER AND EXPERT WITNESSES/ (Doc. 53)
Plaintiff Garrison S. Johnson ("Plaintiff") is a prisoner in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR"). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court are Plaintiff's motions for subpoena duces tecum, filed November 23, 2009, December 7, 2009, and March 8, 2010. (Docs. 46, 49, 50, 54.) Also pending before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for appointment of special master and appointment of expert witnesses. (Doc. 53.) The Court will address each in turn.
I. November 23, 2009 Motion (Doc. 46)
Plaintiff requests that the Court order Dr. Bouvaire, a former employee at California Correctional Institution ("CCI"), to produce an affidavit attesting to her witnessing retaliatory actions by correctional officers against inmates. (Doc. 46, Mot. 1-2.) A subpoena duces tecum cannot be used to order the production of an affidavit. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45 (subpoenas must "command each person to whom it is directed to do the following at a specific time and place: attend and testify; produce designated documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things in that person's possession, custody, or control; or permit the inspection of premises"). Plaintiff's request that the court subpoena Dr. Bouvaire to produce an affidavit for Plaintiff is beyond the scope of a subpoena. Plaintiff's request is thus denied. This is not to say that Plaintiff is barred from communication with Dr. Bouvaire. However, the Court will not require the United States Marshal to subpoena Dr. Bouvaire to produce an affidavit. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion is DENIED.
II. December 7, 2009 Motion (Doc. 49)
Plaintiff requests that the Court issue a subpoena requiring Bob Sillen, the CDCR health care receiver, to produce a bi-monthly report of CDCR health care system from 2006 through 2009. (Doc. 49, Mot. 1-2.) Plaintiff contends this is necessary because the reports will prove Plaintiff's claim that there is a culture of CDCR medical staff cooperating with CDCR custody staff in denying inmates medical treatment. (Id.)
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34, governing production of documents, Plaintiff fails to identify with reasonable particularity the documents he is requesting. Furthermore, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26, Plaintiff has failed to make a showing that the documents he seeks are reasonably related to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It is unclear whether these documents exist, and what information they contain. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion is DENIED.
III. December 7, 2009 Motion (Doc. 50)
Plaintiff requests that the Court issue a subpoena requiring Matthew Cate, Secretary of CDCR, to produce duplicates of the five digital photographs that depict the injuries sustained by Defendant Holguin in the alleged altercation with Plaintiff. (Doc. 50, Mot. 1-2.)
The documents requested by Plaintiff are relevant for discovery purposes, as the five photographs depicting the injuries suffered by Defendant Holguin are reasonably related to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. While Secretary Cate is indirectly linked to these photographs, presumably he or a prison official below him would have possession, custody, or control over the photographs. However, requiring Secretary Cate to produce these photographs would be an inefficient use of federal court and state resources. If Defendants are willing to produce these photographs, then Plaintiff's request for a subpoena duces tecum would be moot.
Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS Defendants to respond to Plaintiff's motion for subpoena duces tecum, filed December 7, 2009, and docketed as court document 50. Defendants have twenty days from the date of ...

Black Friday, Sad Friday
I went out with my husband and in-laws to do some shopping. Unfortunately in the process, I lost my striped hat (from the March 7th post). I stuck it in my pocket and it must have fallen out. I didn't realize it until we were already heading out. I went back into the store and took the same route I had taken while shopping but couldn't locate it. We're going back on Monday to see if their lost and found will have it. I'm not holding much hope in recoverying it. I hate you Carson Pirie Scott.

Not Enough Hours
It's been really hard to put any time into knitting lately. I've been working overtime on many days or when not at work just thinking of work. The stress from this isn't really conducive to me knitting because I can't really fall into it. I find knitting to be really meditative but if I'm already incredibly tense then it's hard to start or concentrate on the act of knitting.

Palestinians seek regionwide prayers to protest US embassy move
PA official warns policy change by Trump administration would mark 'end of the two-state solution'
Palestinian leaders on Tuesday called for prayers at mosques across the Middle East this week to protest plans by President-elect Donald Trump to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Mohammad Shtayyeh, a senior Palestinian official and Fatah central committee member who was speaking on behalf of the Palestinian leadership, said doing so would mean an "end to the two-state solution."
He said the Palestinian leadership had been informed by diplomatic contacts that Trump could call for the move in his inauguration speech on January 20.
Palestinian leaders are considering whether to withdraw their recognition of Israel if the move goes through, he said.
Shtayyeh called for prayers at mosques throughout the Middle East — "from Pakistan to Tehran, from Lebanon to Oman" — on Friday as well as for churches to ring their bells in protest on Sunday.
"I think and we all think that moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a dangerous step that will have dangerous consequences for the political track for our people and for our future aspirations and for the Muslim, Arab, Christian countries and people all over the world," said Shtayyeh.
"We are not inciting violence. Ringing a church bell… is not a violent act. Calling for a prayer is not a violent act," he told journalists in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has written to Trump urging him not to move the embassy while also calling it a "red line" that could jeopardize peace prospects.
The United States and most UN member states do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and the city's status is one of the thorniest issues of the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Almost all countries have their embassies in Tel Aviv.
A UN Security Council resolution passed on December 23 called for a stop to Israeli settlement building.
In a rare move, the United States did not use its veto and abstained, enabling the adoption of the first UN resolution since 1979 to condemn Israel over its settlement policy and drawing a furious response from the Jewish state.
France is to hold an international conference on January 15 including some 70 nations aimed at helping restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.
Israel has rejected the move and called for direct talks, while the Palestinians have welcomed it.
The conference will take place without the Israelis and Palestinians, though Abbas is to meet French President Francois Hollande on January 16 to be briefed on the proceedings, according to Shtayyeh.
