The Most Frequent Reasons to Donate to Education Charities
There are moral reasons for charitable giving for education that everyone most likely understands and is aware of. Donating to charity simultaneously stimulates the spirit of the giver while helping others in need. Still, there are reasons individuals who are able to give are hesitant to do so. Some questions that are often asked include: Would my small donation really even help? Shouldn't charity, as they say, begin at home? Shouldn't people be responsible for themselves and not depend on others? Below are some reasons to donate to charity, as well as arguments that can help you get over the hump these questions present and consider charitable giving.
Small Donations Make an Impact
As discussed above, a lot of individuals decide not to give to charity because they don't think their dollar will do any good. This type of thinking is common when confronted with a large task that appears insurmountable. You might think to yourself, how can a few dollars help end something as massive as world poverty?
Well, it's simple. Your dollar does make an impact. For example, a $100 donation to a charity such as Oxfam can provide two children with a year's worth of school meals. For ways to determine how a small donation helps, go to……
While your donation may seem small, small amounts given by a lot of people really add up. In the year 2016, nearly $400 billion was donated to charitable causes. When taken together, a lot of good is being done in the world thanks to small amounts of charitable giving. Just think of the potential that $400 billion can do for individuals in need.
Another way to show the significance that small donations provide is to personalize your giving. Imagining the entire population of the world who are in positions of need is quite daunting. It's easy to forget the face of an individual when confronted with such a large statistic. Instead, just think one individual who would be impacted by your gift. A donation to charity is immediately changing this individual's life for the better. Think of their smile when they hear the news of a fresh meal, clothes or shelter. It's easy to forget how not everyone has these simple items necessary for survival that are often taken for granted by people.
Building Communities
Some individuals might question why they would donate money to a large international charity for education when there are people in their lives or neighbourhood that are in need of help. But this does not have to hinder you from donating. Instead, choose to give to a cause in your local community. Donating to your community is another way to view the immediate effects that charitable giving can do in the world, even if it is local.
Sometimes an individual's ideology can lead them to believe that people should be independent and try to solve their own problems. While the ability to do this is commendable, it's not always reasonable. For example, some people may have been impacted by a natural disaster and lost their home and belongings. Severe droughts across the world can cause starvation. There is nothing these individuals could have done to have prevented their losses.
And while other victims might not have suffered in this same way, there are often many roadblocks that just are not visible for us. While it may be difficult, it is important not to judge until the situation fully presents itself.
In Religions like in Islam, many Muslims believe in the Qurban practice, where it is common to sacrifice animals as donation on specific days of the year. It comes from the sacrifice of the Prophet Abraham, who prepared to offer his son and God replaced his Son with a sacrificing animal.
Other Reasons to Donate to a Charity
If you are still not convinced that charitable giving helps the world, below are some additional reasons to donate to charity.
– Tax Deductions (This may not be your top reason, but a tax deduction never hurts).
– Connects you to the rest of the world.
– Creates self-empowerment and enhances your image.
– Sets a moral example for children who need education and others who aspire to do good.
– Provides spiritual relief and purpose.
There are numerous reasons to donate to charity, and those discussed above are just a few of them. But if you are in a position to give, just think of the good it could do for one individual in need. Think of how you can change their life for the better. Put a face on the statistic, and make the world a better place for all of us!

I like it a lot. It will be interesting to see how it improves the chassis. I think it should? A stiffer frame cannot hurt and overall weight shouldn't be a penalty with so much other weight reduction. It could turn out to be a half cradle and half trellis? Cheers, 50gary
So top end gaskets and stud replacement every time the motor comes out?
Kool mqn im not out to give ya a hard time i just didnt see the big picture. Looks great as always keep up the good work my friend

As someone who has raised two kids, any organization that helps children and families sounded like a good cause to support
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 08, 2013
HOUSTON, TX//NEW YORK, NY – February 5, 2013 – Kars 4 Kids, a national non-profit car donation charity, is proud to announce that Spring, TX resident, Jon Milburn is the winner of their $20,000 sweepstakes. As an alternative incentive to donors, Kars 4 Kids offered a unique sweepstakes opportunity this past December, providing donors with the option to enter a sweepstakes for $20,000 instead of receiving the standard vacation voucher.
"As someone who has raised two kids, any organization that helps children and families sounded like a good cause to support," said Milburn.
Milburn, 59, is a husband and father of two sons, an avid golfer, former college athlete, and self-described "average guy." He and his family are very involved in providing donations to local and national charities including Golfers Against Cancer, Folds of Honor, and the March of Dimes among other organizations.
Kars 4 Kids accepts all car donations, including those damaged after Hurricane Sandy, via an online form. Within 24 hours of submission, Kars4Kids will arrange a free pickup to donors. All donors receive a 100% tax deductible receipt and vacation voucher as thanks for their generous contribution. This sweepstakes offered donors an opportunity to enter for a chance to win $20,000 instead of accepting a vacation voucher.
"Working with Kars 4 Kids was a very easy and straight forward experience. It was easy to schedule a pick up and get things going," said Milburn. "My wife and I both work and have limited vacation time together. We figured that we would book a vacation when we wanted, so why not sign up for the sweepstakes instead."
Kars 4 Kids is a non-profit organization that works to give back to the community through a variety of education, youth development, family outreach, and faith-based programs. They provide an array of services to children and families including educational programming, school placement, tuition assistance, mentorship programs, cultural activities, religious instruction, recreation and guidance counseling.

A century of conservation
On my honeymoon a trip to southwest Florida about eight years ago my wife and I had the opportunity to visit and spend a few days at the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
The refuge is located in Sanibel Island, near Fort Myers, and is a winter haven for a wide variety of waterfowl, including many that make their summer home in Minnesota.
From the great estuaries where salt and fresh water meet, to alligators and greenwinged teal, the refuge was an incredible place and a much different outdoor setting than what I was used to in Minnesota.
Back home, I grew up hunting and exploring the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in western Minnesota. My dad and I watched the refuge grow and develop.
With hard work by many, and a fair share of conflict between landowners and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Big Stone became a great place, a place that my dad and I loved, and a place that I still hunt and explore.
This year, 2003 marks the 100th anniversary of the national wildlife refuge system. Today, the system conserves nearly 100 million acres of wildlife habitat, and is unparalled for providing outdoor activities for all Americans.
In Minnesota, national wildlife refuges play a big role in our outdoor lifestyle and heritage, and we are blessed with a large number of them.
They include Aggassiz in Marshal County; Big Stone in Big Stone and Lac qui Parle counties; Minnesota Valley in Carver, Scott, Hennepin, and Dakota counties; Rice Lake and Sandstone in Aitkin and Pine counties; Rydell in Polk County; Sherburne in Sherburne County; Tamarac in Becker County; and the Upper Mississippi in Wabasha, Winona, and Houston counties.
Personally, I have visited all of them except Rydell.
If you're a hunter, hunting opportunities do exist on all of the refuges in Minnesota. However, special regulations do apply, and there are limitations.
Although many of us may not be familiar with the refuge system, and the refuges in Minnesota, they are vitally important to our lifestyle.
In simple terms, they provide us with a public place to use and enjoy the outdoors. A place where all of us are welcome during a time when there are fewer and fewer places to enjoy the outdoors.
As time moves on, and more homes are built and more land is developed, national wildlife refuges will only become more important important to us, but essential for wildlife.
For more information on national wildlife refuges and those located in Minnesota, refer to pages 123 and 124 of the 2003 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulations handbook, or write to Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, 1 Federal Drive, Fort Snelling, MN 55111-4056.
DNR receives favorable decision on boat searches
From the DNR
The Minnesota Supreme Court today ruled that Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officers may search boats and live wells without probable cause.
The ruling reversed a lower court's decision that had prohibited them from conducting inspections of fish in angler's live wells.
"The Supreme Court carefully balanced privacy rights and resource conservation interests," said DNR Enforcement Director Mike Hamm, "and ruled in favor of limited inspections by conservation officers to help sustain our natural resources."
The DNR, along with angling and sporting groups, had been very concerned with a lower court decision that stated officers were required to have probable cause to inspect anglers' boats.
"This ruling will help Minnesota conservation officers, who have protected the State resource since 1887, preserve these resources for generations to come," Hamm said.
Fishing plays an important role in the lives of many Minnesotans, and the corresponding need for effective regulation to protect the viability of the state's fish and game resources was confirmed today by the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision on this matter, Hamm noted.
The decision does not grant conservation officers powers beyond that of other law enforcement officers. Instead, it recognizes that fishing is largely a recreational privilege and those 'who chose to apply for this privilege accept the conditions imposed to the sport of game fishing.'
The ruling is consistent with other cases, including Montana's Boyer case, in which the Montana Supreme Court ruled 'no objectively reasonable expectation of privacy exists when a wildlife enforcement officer checks for hunting and fishing licenses in open season near game habitat, inquires about game taken, and requests to inspect game in the field.'
"The ruling recognizes how absurd it would be because fishing can take hours or even days over broad areas for conservation officers to individually watch every angler to determine if probable cause existed," Hamm said.
This case differs from State vs. Larsen (in which the Minnesota Supreme Court prohibited the search of an ice fishing house without probable cause).
The court's position is that fish shelters are erected to protect occupants from the elements, and often provide eating, sleeping, and other facilities that allow for a reasonable expectation of privacy. That's different than an open boat.
Question of the week
From the DNR
Question: How does Minnesota decide the waterfowl hunting opener date, season length, and bag limit?
Answer by Jeff Lawrence, DNR Wetland Wildlife Group leader:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with input from states and flyway councils, decides the annual waterfowl hunting frameworks, which include the earliest opening and latest closing dates, maximum season length, and duck bag limits.
For the regular duck season, these guidelines are the same for all states in the Mississippi Flyway, including Minnesota. States have the option to be more restrictive than the federal frameworks.
Minnesota typically opens the duck season on the earliest Saturday permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, although last year's duck season opener was delayed one week following public comment.
Minnesota hunters have also been able to hunt the full season length and take the maximum bag limits allowed in most years. The DNR considers these decisions each year based mostly on the status of Minnesota's breeding duck populations.
For more waterfowl hunting information, go the DNR web site at www.dnr.state.mn.us.
Outdoor notes
The Minnesota pheasant season opens Saturday, Oct. 11. Excellent hunting is expected across Minnesota's pheasant range.
The evening shoot for Minnesota ducks begins Sunday, Oct. 12.
Look for great action with northern pike and walleyes on many lakes in our area this fall. Waconia and Belle are great fall walleye lakes, especially for anglers fishing in waders at night. The Crow River can also be a fall hot spot.
Regarding antlerless permits in managed deer permit areas, I was told by the DNR that if you're hunting in a permit area, or choose a permit area that is a managed deer area, you could buy your license the day before the season and be able to tag an antlerless deer in your specific managed deer area.
Read the regulations before you take the field in pursuit of game this fall. Also, please be courteous and cautious instead of competitive in the field this fall.
Take the time to preserve your outdoor memories by taking photos and keeping an outdoor journal. You will not regret it.
Fall is officially here, and if you haven't noticed, the day's have gotten a lot shorter.
Fall colors could be a little dismal this year. Because of dry condtions, many of the trees may drop their leaves before beautiful fall colors develop.
Look out for deer on the roadways. As fall moves along, deer become much more active, and car-deer accidents increase.

This was our city, the place where we have been since we were born. This was our city, under siege by the enemy since the beginning of the war. The war which we did not understand. We did not ask for it. We did not want it.
They tore our city apart. Brick by brick. Body by body.
We breathed in bleak horror out of airstrike sirens. We tasted dusty air of cold bunker. We drank terror out of rocket explosions. We slept where we wanted to be because our houses were burnt down. We lived our day as nightmare until we did not know what nightmare was.
This was our city.

By: Oberst von Berauscht (Three Beers) –
Danny Greene was one of Cleveland's strangest public figures in the 1970's. He was a man of many contradictions; a high school dropout, yet an avid intellectual, a rising star in the criminal underworld and a family man, a health conscious athlete, and yet he appeared on television and gave multiple interviews daring his enemies to kill him.
Just another Tuesday for the International Conference of Renaissance Men
A Toast
There is a definite appeal to American gangster films, as they represent an alternate history of this country as seen through the eyes of those who would rather not be seen. The rebels, the thieves and misanthropes who populate these stories are rarely depicted as being good people. Their stories are instead told, warts and all, with the hope that their positive traits will endear you to them, while their faults are revealed. You may not sympathize with them, but it is hard not to empathize. After all, these are characters that raise families, go to work, and live very much like the rest of us; they simply chose a path that put them on the wrong side of the rules of society.
This feeling is ever-present in Kill the Irishman, a portrait of the dark side of our history. Ray Stevenson is fascinating to watch as Danny Greene, who sees himself a Celtic warrior fighting for his life in a world that doesn't follow a warrior's code. It is also notable as the first major film to profile Mob activity within Cleveland, Ohio. The tragedy is that this film ultimately feels like a lost opportunity… kind of like Cleveland.
Beer Two
Director Jonathan Hensleigh clearly wanted this film to capture the atmosphere and feel of Mean Street, or Goodfellas. Unfortunately the stylized editing and clever camera techniques that worked so well under Martin Scorsese's direction feel awkward and soulless here. This is partially due to a lack of cohesiveness in the storyline, which makes the film feel like a compilation of scenes rather than a whole work. Some of these scenes work well, heightening tensions and building characters organically, while others exist simply to explain a plot point. Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken's roles in particular are wasted…
Beer Three
For a film with such a solid cast of actors, there are very few distinctive performances.Christopher Walken, so often the best name in the room, seems utterly lost. It is almost as if the director threw a costume on him and had him read cue cards while filming. His role of "Shondor" Birns, a Jewish-American gangster who befriends Danny and gives him his start in the business, was not a huge role, with maybe 10 minutes of total screen time. But anyone whose seen Pulp Fiction knows that Walken doesn't have to be in a movie long to make a lasting impression. Walken played a more complex character in Joe Dirt.
Val Kilmer doesn't belong in the movie at all
As Police Detective Joe Manditski, he serves as the emotionless narrator. The narration lends nothing to the film except to bore us with statistics and tell us things we already know, because we've just seen it happen. The scenes he has with Ray Stevenson are supposed to show the strange truce that criminals have with Police off-hours, but Kilmer never strides for the sort of energy necessary to be memorable.
If I want to see an actor replace himself with a cardboard box, I'll watch Keanu Reeves in Speed, because at least Dennis Hopper overacts enough to compensate for the both of them. This serves to remind you of the better Mob movies out there.

Drama– 2018 – Hungary/France – 142 Minutes – Sony Pictures Classics – In Hungarian & German with English Subtitles – Unrated
1913, Budapest, in the heart of Europe. The young Irisz Leiter arrives in the Hungarian capital with high hopes to work as a milliner at the legendary hat store that belonged to her late parents. She is nonetheless sent away by the new owner, Oszkár Brill. While preparations are under way at the Leiter hat store, to host guests of uttermost importance, a man abruptly comes to Irisz, looking for a certain Kálmán Leiter. Refusing to leave the city, the young woman follows Kálmán's tracks, her only link to a lost past. Her quest brings her through the dark streets of Budapest, where only the Leiter hat store shines, into the turmoil of a civilization on the eve of its downfall.
Directed by László Nemes
Starring Susanne Wuest, Vlad Ivanov, Juli Jakab
Undeniably, Sunset is an impressive piece of filmmaking and from a technical point of view it stirs memories of the boldly shot Hungarian cinema revival of the Sixties. – Hollywood Reporter
Sunset exposes that horror while also finding great beauty in it – it might not be infinitely pretty, but it's worth remembering and preserving nevertheless…There's sadness and beauty in every frame. – IndieWire
Sunset is an audacious step for a director who prefers immersion to exposition. It's not easy, but it'll get under your skin. – The Wrap
Like its beguiling lead actress Juli Jakab, "Sunset" is enigmatic, beautiful and full of grace. – AwardsCircuit.com

Peak Lists
Log In
Ascent of Highland Peak on 1996-07-02
Richard Carey
Tuesday, July 2, 1996
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Highland Peak
10936 ft / 3333 m
Ascent Trip Report
Named by Lt. M.M. Macomb of the Wheeler Survey in 1878. (Browning, p. 78)
Located in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness area of the Toiyabe National Forest. A permit is not required for dayhikes. Permits for overnight trips may be obtained at the Markleeville Guard Station in Markleeville.
Highland Peak can be reached by taking the PCT east from Ebbetts Pass. The alternate route described here is somewhat shorter and starts from highway 4 to the north. From Markleeville drive south on combined routes 4 and 89 for about 5 miles and then at a junction continue straight ahead on route 4 toward Angels Camp. After about another 7 miles you'll reach the Silver Creek campground. From the turn into the campground drive 1.4 miles further to the third switchback and park on the south side of the road by the trail. UTM here is: 257114E, 4274020N (NAD27). Start the hike on this good trail which gradually descends along the west side of Noble Canyon. In about 1 mile there is a stream crossing. If the stream is high, continue along the west side through the brush for about 100 yards to a large log which offers a path across the stream. After the crossing follow the trail south for another 1.6 miles to UTM 257520E, 4270200N (elev. 7860 ft.) where you leave the trail and head east up the ridge to a saddle on the ridge at 10,000 ft. From here follow the ridge south to the summit. Move to the west side of the ridgeline higher up to avoid cliffs. The hike to the top is 4.5 miles one-way with a gain of 3650 ft. and requires about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Allow 2 hours for the return hike to the trailhead. It is possible to extend the hike and go another mile north from the saddle at 10,000 ft. to Silver Peak. 7/96 RLC

A Taste of History
Nestled comfortably in the Meon Valley, a visit to Langrish House was like stepping back in time for Claire Pitcher, but the food was far from traditional.
Going to eat at Langrish House isn't just a fine dining experience; it's also a local history lesson. Home to seven generations of the Talbot-Ponsonby family, the oldest part of the house, the vaults, were dug by Royalist prisoners captured by Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Cheriton in 1644. The property's colourfulpast was retold to me by host Nigel Talbot-Ponsonby as we were given an after-dinner guided tour around the house.
There are no airs and graces here; it's like a home from home. Comfy sofas in the drawing room (where you can have pre-dinner drinks) and in the cosy Frederick's Restaurant the real fire added a touch of romance.
For Starters
Deciding on what to have from the Table D'Hote menu proved tricky, everything sounded delicious. For starters I settled on the butternut squash velouté, sautéed crepes, Parmesan crisps and white truffle tortellini. Beautifully presented, the tortellini and crisps were artistically placed on a stylish spoon and the velouté in an equally stylish conical bowl. It tasted as good as it looked. My husband was feeling adventurous and was pleasantly surprised with his (never been tried before) roasted globe artichoke, pancetta lardons, baby spinach and wild mushrooms and parmesan fondu.
The Mains
I thought it strange that on the list of main courses to choose from there was a mix of Hampshire and Berkshire ingredients. The venison (which we both opted for) was from Hampshire, and the vegetarian dish featured Barkham Blue pithiver – which was also on the 'local' cheese menu along with Sussex Charmer and Waterloo (Reading).
The venison came with textures of parsnip, blackberries, and sloe gin jus. Served 'medium' the venison was melt in the mouth.
Delectable Dessert
Dessert was probably one of the best I have ever tasted. I have ever had.
In fact, the decision to share it, on reflection, wasn't a good one. Homemade tiramisu with coffee honeycomb, Kahula jelly and espresso granita. The tiramisu was light and creamy and the honeycomb added the right amount of crunch. Then with the extra texture from the jelly, plus the bitter cold espresso – it made the whole thing delightfully fun to eat.
For a Sunday night the restaurant was quite busy, it's obviously popular with Langrish residents and hotel guests alike. On our way out to the car nigel spoke about the house's extensive grounds and lake – what a good excuse to come back and try the lunch menu.

Meet Tom Stapledon, who according to him, only started modeling within the past year. Truly remarkable, since he has a body that resembles a Greek muscle god of the Olympus! Tom was born onto the modeling scene once he started lifting weights, and noticed significant changes in his body. You could say he's a product of the gym-effect.

zac insisted we go to yong green food for lunch the other day because he had gone there earlier in the week and had the tuna wrap and really wanted another one cuz it was so good. they've changed their menu a bit since the last time we were there (i think it was at least a few months ago). i wasn't that hungry when we got there so i just got a light lunch of rice paper rolls. they were really nice. for some reason i really didn't like the smell of the chili dipping sauce they come with but the flavour was nice. zac got the tuna wrap that he was craving (i think it replaces the fishball wrap they used to have on the menu-- i don't think that was still offered). i managed to get a bite of it and really liked it. lots of flavour with a slight "fishy" sort of taste. they've got a good selection of dishes of all sizes at yong green and most are vegan (or can be made vegan). it's a good place for a snack or meal on brunswick street (and much healthier/tastier than the chips we would end up getting if we stopped at a pub for a drink and snack).

10 Years Of Wooster: Vómito Attack
As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary of the Wooster Collective website. we asked a group of artists who we showcased in the beginnings of the website the following question:
What's the one thing that you learned in the last decade that you had wished someone had told you 10 years ago?
The following response comes from Vómito Attack.
"I was born, grew and lived during 33 years in the City of Buenos Aires.
3 years ago I slowly moved my life to the mountains, 700 mile long from the city.
I have my vegetable garden, spend all day outdoors, I cook my own bread, do wine, liquors, preserve foods, and some natural medicines.
I have dogs, cats, chickens and live sorrounded of beautiful birds who sing all day, and I hear the sound of water flow from bed.
The quality of life here is invaluable.
I wished someone had told me that I could adapt so easily to this kind of life, and being so happy as I am. And to forget the cities and live in contact with nature.
and to not forget that DREAMS COME TRUE!"... Vómito Attack

by Steve Holman, Iron Man Magazine
Q: I need more upper-chest mass. I've tried barbell and dumbbell incline presses. Do you think incline flyes work better than those movements for some people? I'm thinking about using more incline flyes.
A: Are you using full Positions-of-Flexion for your upper chest—an exercise each for the midrange, stretch and contracted positions? It will give you more complete stimulation with ultimate muscle fiber activation. For example:
Midrange: Incline dumbbell presses (4X) 4 x 10
Stretch: Incline flyes (heavy) 2 x 10
Contracted: High cable flyes (4X) 4 x 10
Note that I recommend the moderate-weight 4X mass method on the first and last exercises but call for two heavier sets on the stretch-position move. That can be a good size-building strategy when you're specializing because you get stretch overload. Keep in mind that an animal study triggered a 300 percent muscle mass increase after only one month of stretch-overload workouts—so it's a major get-bigger trigger.
If you don't have time for the three-exercise routine listed above, try this:
Midrange: Incline dumbbell presses (4X) 4 x 10
Stretch & Contracted: High cable or machine flyes (4x) 4 x 10
It takes less time—about 10 minutes—but you still get full-on POF. In the first routine you break out a stretch-position move and a contracted-position exercise—incline flyes and high cable flyes. In the second routine you still get full-range mass-building benefits, but you combine those two positions with high cable flyes. (You could also use machine flyes or pec deck flyes performed with your arms high on the pads.)
One other thing you can try is to alter your hand position on incline dumbbell presses. Vince Gironda, famed Iron Guru and trainer of the first Mr. Olympia, Larry Scott, always preached the palms-facing form for upper-pec emphasis. In other words, press with your hands in a flye position.
EMG studies have shown that an under grip on bench pressing exercises can more strongly involve the upper-pec fibers, so try that as well.

Microsoft has been killing it lately, but many of their great recent hardware announcements have been geared towards the prosumer. That's why we were so excited to test the Surface Laptop, which is designed with students in mind. But after spending nearly a week with it, we can testify to the fact that more than just students are going to want this laptop.
The Core i5 Surface Laptop comes in a choice of four colors — platinum, graphite gold, cobalt blue and burgundy. In particular, the burgundy and blue color options are especially unique. These two colors pop and are sure to make heads turn. But beyond the fun color options, the Surface Laptop's aluminum build is super sleek, super sturdy (look Ma, no flex!) and certainly tough enough to withstand the rigors of a classroom environment. The Alcantara-covered keyboard is not only unique in style and very attractive, but it feels nice when you have your wrists and hands wresting on it. And don't worry about the material getting dirty — Microsoft says that it can easily be cleaned with a cloth.
It's not just the fun colors and lightweight (2.76 lb) aluminum build that make the Surface Laptop geared towards students. It's the first device to run Windows 10 S. 10 S is similar to Windows 10 Pro, except that it will only install and run verified and trusted Windows Store apps. That's good for security, making it unnecessary to use additional malware and antivirus software outside of what Microsoft supplies with Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.
While Windows 10 S is positioned as an ideal laptop for students, it's really suited for anyone who wants a more streamlined, secure experience. Even a year into owning the laptop, Windows should still run smoothly with minimal effort. The concept is similar to what Apple has done with iOS and their App Store. The extra layer of security makes the Surface Laptop a good choice for elderly parents, particularly if they're not tech savvy, so that you don't have to worry about maintenance and security issues for their PC.
All that said, while the Windows Store app catalog is getting better and better, it's still missing a lot of popular apps. But, things are improving — at present, you can find the likes of Office 365, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, Sling TV, Facebook, and Instagram on the Windows Store. There is also a big focus on educational apps, while other major apps like iTunes and Spotify are coming soon.
When a user tries to install an app isn't available in the Windows Store, Windows 10 S will often suggest a similar app or a similar set of apps that are available in the Windows Store. For example, if you try and install VLC's executable file, Windows will suggest for you to download the VLC app from the Windows Store. We tried installing Spotify and didn't receive any suggestions for similar apps, but Microsoft says that they are proactively building out a database of suggestions.
Should you decide that Windows 10 S is too limiting for you, it's easy to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro at any time. It actually took us only about five minutes to upgrade to Windows 10 S. Once you switch from 10 S to Pro, all your settings and files remain the same. For a limited time (through December 31st, 2017) that switch to Windows 10 Pro is free, but eventually it will cost users $49. However, for educational institutions it will always be free.
But enough about Windows 10 S, lets talk about the actual performance of the Surface Laptop. In general, day-to-day performance has been super snappy and the system is a pleasure to use. The laptop can heat up a bit at the back, but not uncomfortably so. The system also does a great job of powering instantly on from sleep. Windows Hello works pretty well, too. As a matter of fact, as soon as the lid starts to open up, the Surface Laptop camera powers on so that by the time the lid has already been opened, you're signed into Windows thanks to facial recognition.
The Surface Laptop we have been testing runs on a 2.70 GHz Core i5 7200U processor and 8GB of RAM. The system earned a PCMark 10 score of 2836, with an Essentials score of 6199, a Productivity score of 478,3 and a Digital Content Creation score of 2089. With Geekbench 4, the system earned a Multi-core score of 7210.
As we'd expect from a Surface product, the 13.5″ PixelSense display is top notch. The display's bezel is super thin, and overall the PixelSense display is fantastic, capable of getting very bright with vibrant colors. In our opinion, it offers an optimal 2256 x 1504 (201 PPI) resolution for its display size. The display is also compatible with the Surface pen. The laptop's speakers are quite impressive too for a laptop of its size. That said, its audio isn't very balanced, but still above average and can get pretty loud.
As for the keyboard, it's great to use, with large keys that are well spaced. The material surrounding the keyboard doesn't just look pretty, but it feels great when you rest your wrists on it. The trackpad is large with a solid amount of traction and pretty good sensitivity levels. As for the Surface Laptop's battery, it's been good enough to last through a day of classes when running on a lower brightness setting, but we haven't quite seen the 14.5 hour battery life claim come to fruition yet. We will update this review when we have a more solid impression of the Surface Laptop's battery life.

Rep. Ellison recounts his Darfur protest arrest
Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison was arrested yesterday along with seven others, including four others from Congress, in front of the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C. He was protesting the removal of several aid groups from Darfur.
Ellison was detained for about three hours before being released on $100 bail after the planned arrest. Yesterday he spoke about the arrest and why they chose to do the stunt.
Listen to Ellison talk about the arrest and the ongoing issues in Sudan on Minnesota Public Radio:
Ellison recounted the arrest in MinnPost:
"There was a piece of yellow tape that separated the protesters from the Sudanese embassy, and the group of us deliberately went across it," Ellison said. "Then the police warned us to leave the first time, and they let a little time go by. And my stress level went up, and then they issued a second warning, and my stress level went up, and then they gave us a third warning and I knew I was about to be arrested."The Republican Party of Minnesota called the arrest a publicity stunt. Minnesota Democrats Exposed criticized him for thinking he is above the law. But over at Anti-Strib blog, Ellison got some rare praise:
He said that while they waited in jail, the group listened to Lewis tell stories about the civil rights movement and his experiences with protests.
Sudan pushed the aid groups out after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Sudanese president on charges that he directed the mass murder of tens of thousands of people living in Darfur. The national aid agencies had been providing about 1.1 million civilians with food aid, 1.5 million with health care and more than 1 million with potable water, according to the Save Darfur Coalition.
"I thought that it was such an appalling situation that I thought I would use the real honor and prestige associated with my office to bring attention to this situation," Ellison said.
Credit where it's due. Ellison is the only Muslim I can recall who has a problem with the genocide of the blacks in Darfur. What's been happening in Darur really is a crime against humanity. Again Kudos to congressman Ellison for making a stink.

Last night, after work, I had to head into town to exchange some movie tickets, so I also grabbed dinner with my mom. We went to Ruby's and shared the chips and queso dip. I had two margaritas. I almost exploded I was so full.
I was home by 8:30 and felt like I'd been hit by a truck. I was achy, exhausted and my head felt like it was in a different world than the rest of me. I was in bed by 8:45.
This morning, after 10 hours of sleep, I woke up feeling less like I was hit by a truck, and more like I was hit by a sedan. I took ibuprofen, an immune booster pill, and drank Emergen-C after my shower. I drank an Airborne packet on my way to work.
My stomach has been upset all week, and I couldn't understand why. I haven't been eating a lot of dairy and I haven't been drinking, so it made no sense why my stomach was so angry with me. Now I know why. I'm dying.
Luckily the weekend is around the corner, so I can continue my current trend of lazing – maybe it'll heal me.
- Friday
- Maybe Yoga at 7 if I feel like it
- Work
- Mani/Pedi with Brittany (I do this every pay day, and it's pay day!)
- Nothing. Sleep and movies. Health, healing, and sleep.
- Saturday
- Maybe Yoga at 9 if I feel like it
- Microdermabrasion facial
- This is very exciting- I bought it on Groupon. I have little scars and big pores and other imperfections that we all have and I want to see if this reduces any of that. I hope so! This is Hollywood's "newest face lift", and I am a socialite.
- Bed Bath & Beyond to get a Veggetti and to buy decorations for my cubicle.
- I want to decorate my cube so that it's a sanctuary- if your work space is soothing and familiar, you don't mind being at it. Let's keep life soothing.
- Movies and dinner with Maureen (we had to cancel last week because my car isn't made to drive on pre-plowed roads).
- Sunday
- Probably not yoga
- Grocery shopping
- Meal preps
- This week I'm prepping for both me and Brittany.
- I think I am going to make a chicken and veggie alfredo "casserole" with zucchini noodles for lunches, and a crock pot beef brisket with carrots and onions for dinner.
- Avoid the parade
For the last three years I have gone to the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and for the last three years something stupid or bad has happened. I am not a good drunk- I've accepted this and admitted this to my loved ones. I am 100% aware of how bad I can get so. this year, I am thinking of avoiding it all together. I'm okay with grabbing drinks with friends and having some wine occasionally with Britt, but an entire day dedicated to drinking is like the worst possible thing for me.
I have two options: Avoid it at all costs and make other plans, like get lunch at my dad's, or if everyone is going I can go but with limits. Maybe, two beers per bar, and stop by the 3rd bar. I mean 6 beers all day- that would work. I also think I am going to get full really easily, so that'll help limit me as well. Also I'd love to see a lot of my friends who go every year, and I'd love to see them sober while they're wasted. That's always eye-opening.
It is the last St. Patrick's Day Parade that I can attend while living here (most likely, unless I stay…) so not going would suck a little bit. It also really depends on whether I feel more sick or less sick by then. And how cold it is outside.
My dress pants are getting loose.
I am so tired.
Let this day pass swiftly. Let my stomach grow steel. Let my pants continue to sag. And let my car fly home quickly. This is our daily meditation. Om.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!! I've been sick but am feeling better this evening. I think I just needed some crafting therapy! :) I've got a cute card to show you...
Isn't this image adorable? I did not add a sentiment yet because this could be a "thinking of you" card, it could be a baby card, it could be a birthday card... so many possibilities! My paper is scraps and so is the ribbon. Yay for using bits and pieces!!! My image is Doodle Pantry Bunny Friends.

Renting to Unmarried Couples: What Christian Property Owners Need to Know
As both a devout Christian and a property owner, working within the confines of the law can sometimes mean going against your personal religious beliefs. Where can we draw the line?
Here's what Christian landlords need to know:
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
Under the Federal Fair Housing Act, which was passedin 1968, landlords cannot refuse to discriminate based on certain identity markers – including race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The law would be further amended in 1989 to prohibit discrimination based on disability or familial status.
In this case, familial status refers specifically to pregnant women and/or the presence of children under the age of 18 – including single parents with children. An example of the Fair Housing Act in action is one, somewhat bizarre, case from 2011, in which a Wisconsin landlord refused to rent a property to a single mother because there was no man "to shovel the snow." The landlord was subsequently sued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
But What About Unmarried Couples?
There are a number of reasons why Christian landlords may feel uncomfortable renting to unmarried couples. First off, young adults who are unmarried and cohabitating can pose logistical concerns, according to Houston property management firm Green Residential. Young adults and college students can pose noise problems, for example, so it's important to build these concerns into a clear, customized lease agreement.
However, young unmarried couples can be even more complicated. These young people are not bound by the principles of marriage, which means that if the relationship dissolves, you're left with the logistical nightmare of dealing with one person wanting to break the lease or both wanting to suddenly move out.
In April of 2016, Florida repealed a law that explicitly stated that unmarried couples could not cohabit. Two states remain with laws on the books against unmarried cohabitation: Mississippi and Michigan – and in the case of Michigan, the law may also be on its way out. However, it's important to note that many states don't explicitly prohibit landlords from discriminating against unmarried cohabiters.
At What Point Are We Complicit in the Sins of Others?
But for many Christians, the problem of premarital sex under your roof is not just logistical in nature – it's also a question with moral implications, and it depends on the type of Christian you are. Pastor John Piper of Desiring God believes that Christians are not responsible for the sins of nonbelievers, such that it's understandable not to want to police the private space (including the bedrooms) of those who are unmarried in the eyes of God.
However, Pastor John also argues that we should avoid communicating the message that Christians are indifferent to sinful behavior. While guests should generally conform to the expectations of their hosts, the matter becomes difficult to parse out when there is a rental contract involved.
What to Do?
Ultimately, you'll have to remember that a single person could rent your property and then commit sins under your roof without prior knowledge. If you live in a state that doesn't prohibit discretion on the basis of a couple's marital status, you can legally refuse to rent to such couples – keeping in mind that you still have no legal basis to refuse to rent to single parents and, yes, even single pregnant women.
One way to mitigate the issue is to work with a rental or property management agency that will be able to navigate the law for you in a way that assures as much compromise as possible in your state of residence. By using a service like this, you'll remove yourself from the process and, subsequently, avoid cooperation in something you don't believe in.

USA Roster Unveiled Tuesday
The USSF will announce tomorrow the national team roster for the Aug. 22 friendly at Sweden. Considering the location and quality of opponent (not to mention the fact that there are three mid-week MLS games and travel demands for domestic players), expect a heavily Euro-based squad.
It is an official FIFA fixture date for friendly matches, which means clubs are obligated to release requested players 48 hours in advance. So there are no call-up issues.
Sweden, atop its qualifying group and preparing for a Sept. 8 qualifier against Denmark, announced its roster today.
Who would you like to see in the U.S. starting lineup?

This is my pet peeve with the USSF.If it is an Intl date and there are no "callup issues",why does it matter how many MLS games there are???? Call up your best team,it's a MLS problem if they continue to play on those dates,and USSF should not cater to them...
And yes I support MLS,but they are stupid on this issue.

It's a moot point -- we'd see Europe-based players, anyway, unless we brought one or two MLSers in (eg Donovan). IMO these friendlies were specifically set up so that those guys get a fair shot for the UNMNT.
Posted by: RK | August 13, 2007 4:43 PM | Report abuse
Never been a fan of Boca playing CB for the USMNT team. His decision makings are poor, and his clearances out of the box are terrible. Quite honestly, both he and Gooch are not international level CBs. I hope we have better options for CBs when 2010 rolls around.
Back to topic, I agreed with the earlier poster in regards to Adu and Benny. They both need to be with their clubs, to settle in and try to earn a spot on the 11. Also, I think Convey with be out of this one as he just came back from a big injury.

re: Convey
he did start for the reserves the week before and scored the only goal off a free kick 25 minutes in. He didn't last the full 90 though.
Posted by: Zero | August 13, 2007 5:04 PM | Report abuse
Add to the Convey mix the fact that he had only just recently recovered from a knee injury last summer before the World Cup, then - Reading admits - he aggravated the injury or reinjured it during the World Cup.
That aggravation/reinjury led directly subsequent surgery and loss of his place in the Reading eleven.
In other words, Reading lost a winger, and Convey lost his starting job, due to national team duties. I don't see any conceivable way that he is allowed to play against Sweden. The club can merely say the player is not fit, and that is that.

True. Convey has seen action in Reading friendlies including going 90. He's not match-sharp, but he's healthy. Plus Hunt is a real pest and probably better fit the Royals' match plan against ManU. Might see Convey on the field for Reading v Chelsea/Everton prior to the Sweden match.

Boca is one of our best CB's, and one of our best defensive players, period.. In fact, he was perhaps Fulham's most valuable defensive player last year (yes, he played outside for them, for the most part). If you bash Blackmouth, then I'm assuming you have a better option?

No point in scheduling a friendly on a FIFA date if you can't bring your best squad.

D: Bocanegra, Onyewu, Conrad, Spector, Cherundolo, Bornstein, Hejduk
M: Feilhaber, Bradley, Clark, Mastroeni, Beasley, Dempsey, Adu
F: Donovan, Ching, Johnson, Altidore
Jozy and Altidore need to brought in to 1. acclimate them to the full team, 2. to serve as a wakeup call to Donovan, Johnson and co. that spots need to be earned, and competition is coming.
Hejduk and Mastroeni have the experience and attitude that are still in demand.

Hoost your on crack to think Boca is that good. He consistently has 10 minutes in every game that he loses his concentration and make major mistakes. In my mind Boca was responsible for the penalty against Ghana at the WC. Did you see the game yesterday? Boca killed his teams chances of winning and then getting only a point. Are you watching the same CB that I am?

The sooner Jozy gets into the senior men's national team the better. I am tired of the usual stiffs (EJ and TT) that pretend to be strikers. Jozy is the best chance for a legitimate threat at foward. I am a red bulls fan, but the national team comes first, always.

I want EJ and landy to improve their game so the USMNT can get better. I'm not a Eurosnob but you can not deny that the qaulity of play is much better in the top leagues in Europe. It is quite apparent that they have reached a plateau and will not get any better unless they take a "chance" (that pays twice as much, more than likely).

Perhaps I'm a bit biased, being a Red Bull fan, but Jozy was physically dominating this past weekend against Toronto. He has no issues playing against grown men.
And as far as his skill goes, you can see him watching Juan Pablo Angel and getting better with each passing game. He's improving at such a rate that he'll be at the top of the food chain by next year...so I say, acclimate him to the full team now.
If you've ever had the chance to meet this kid, he's a very sharp young man, and he'll certainly utilize the experience to his maximum benefit.
The only question is if Bruce Arena will ask Bob to leave him home.

I hope you are kidding. Marc Burch has had 6 solid games, including 2 assists. His last assist against LA was a perfectly weighted pass that split two defenders.
His left footed service is clearly better than any defender on the current US roster. And to think, he just started playing defense this year. Nevertheless, he's played better than any L side back we've had in months!
Does he need more experience? Sure, but that's why he needs a call-up to camp AT LEAST.

In a time when Americans are placing more emphasis on environmental stewardship than ever before, a growing number of people are discovering the numerous environmental benefits of choosing a real Christmas tree that is naturally superior to the alternative.
"Some people still don't understand that real Christmas trees are far more environmentally friendly than the artificial alternative," said Dave Reese, owner of Kaleidoscope Farms in Mt. Cory and president of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association. "At the time they are harvested, most real Christmas trees have been producing oxygen, sheltering wildlife, conserving soil, improving water quality and absorbing carbon dioxide for more than seven or eight years."
Christmas tree farms around the state are planting thousands of trees every year, and with those trees come a host of environmental benefits. The vast majority of Christmas trees purchased in this country come from a farm where growers plant one to three seedlings for each tree harvested. Close to half a billion trees are currently growing on U.S. tree farms.
Then, after the season, Christmas trees can be recycled for use as mulch, fish and wildlife habitat and for controlling stream bank erosion. In sharp contrast, plastic, petroleum-based artificial Christmas trees never biodegrade, and after their useful life likely go to a landfill.
Along with being a much more environmentally friendly option, real Christmas trees offer customers a chance to visit a farm and see those benefits at work.
"Have you ever seen where an artificial Christmas tree comes from? Chances are they don't give many tours at those Chinese factories," Reese said. "Tree farms are great places to visit for their natural beauty and the chance to spend some time outdoors in the country."
Whether it is a chance to spot some wildlife, take a deep breath of fresh oxygen from the trees, or simply spend some time on a farm with family, a real Christmas tree is clearly the naturally superior and enjoyable choice this holiday season.

Hubbard County's newest group of thespians took to the stage over the weekend.
5th-H Performing Arts Club produced Don Zolidis' "The Seuss Odyssey," a speedy and humorous reimagining of Homer's "Odyssey," all in the style of Dr. Seuss.
Production manager Charlie Edwins explained that the idea for a youth theatrical group was inspired by the 4-H Pine Cones Club's years of involvement in "4-H Share the Fun." Youth from counties prepare and perform a play, dance, musical or other act. Each county then nominates two groups to perform at the Minnesota State Fair.
"It's a competition," explained director Faith Kern. "Each county has their own competition and different clubs usually end up writing their own scripts to promote 4-H. Whatever wins at county level gets to go to state and compete."
Kern has been in 4-H "forever," since third or fourth grade.
Realizing the Pine Cones 4-H Club was totally immersed in Share the Fun, Kern and Edwins decided to make a new 4-H club with theatre as the focus.
5th-H Performing Arts Club now boasts roughly 35 members.
"We have kids from different 4-H clubs and then kids who are only in 5th-H," Kern said.
Members are involved in acting, backstage, tech, props, set building and costumes. The youngest is in kindergarten, while the oldest is a high school senior.
"The Seuss Oyssey" was 5th-H's first-ever production.
The club began rehearsing in mid-February, usually three to four days a week. Finding rehearsal space proved challenging. Fern said the club bounced between the Park Rapids Library and Northwoods Bank community room.
"That was our biggest frustration because we had to haul these big props everywhere," Edwins added.
They selected "The SeussOdyssey" for its humor, action and props.
"It kind of fit our group," Kern said.
5th-H played to nearly sold out performances Thursday through Sunday at Long Lake Theater. Freewill donations were accepted, but the club also received financial support from the Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council, Park Rapids American Legion, Park Rapids Rotary Club, Park Rapids Lions Club, Arvig and Hubbard County 4-H.
Their main goal is to introduce theatre to youth.
"I can name a few kids in particular who were, during the audition, too shy to do their auditions. They had to have their back turned, and they're on stage every day now," Edwins said. "The whole point is to see them improve and teach them something."
For most of the troupe, it's an entirely new experience.
"I think we have maybe three or four that have done anything this big," Kern remarked.
What has been the response?
"They love it," she said.
"The chemistry of the group is insane," Edwins agreed.
"We have the best tech crew I've ever seen in my life," Kern said. "The kids get along. The parents are great. A very involved group."
"A lot of positive vibes," Edwins said.
They are thrilled with the positive response from the community as well.
"Our next big show will be in the fall," Edwins said.
They anticipate producing two to three shows per year.
"We are willing to explore other things, too, like we discussed smaller shows that a kid may write or a variety show or maybe a video," he said.
To join 5th-H, contact Hubbard County 4-H Program Coordinator Mari Jo Lohmeier at 732-3391 or email@example.com.

The Angolan musician Eduardo Paim, returned to the record market with his CD entitled "Etu mu dietu". "Etu mu dietu" means "Between us," in the Kimbindu language and contains 13 songs in the Kizomba musical style.
♫ clip: Etu mu dietu 2012
♫ clip: Etu mu dietu 2012
|Eduardo Paim & Jacob Desvarieux (Kassav)
The album, which was launched last August in Lisbon (Portugal), counted on the participation of international stars as Kassav's Jacob Desvarieux, the Congolese star Papa Wemba, Cape Verdean musican Grace Evora, as well as Angolan Kuduristas Zoca Zoca and Agre G. Produced and directed by Eduardo Paim himself, "Etu mu dietu" is the result from the work of about a year and a half, which began in Namibia, through Luanda, Lisbon and Paris.
A short biography
Eduardo Paim was born in Congo Brazzaville, 47 years ago, where his parents had been exiled. As student he started singing in 1979 with the group "Os Puros" together with Levi and Bruno Lara Marcellin. In 1982 Eduardo Paim founded a new band 'SOS', which became quite popular in Angola during the mid-eighties After he finished the course average electricity at Makarenko, Eduardo Paim devoted himself entirely to music.
In 1988 Eduardo Paim took a new step in the development of his musical career when he decided to leave Angola and to move to Portugal. In 1991 he made a successful debut with the album "Luanda minha banda".
♫ audio: Som da banda - 1991
His real breakthrough, however, he reached in 1992 with his second record "Do kaiaia". The singer received his first golden disk for sales exceeding 50.000 copies.
♫ audio: Sao saudades - 1992
He continued his success with the albums "Kambuengo" (1994) which contained the popular song "Rosa baila", "Chindu a tempo" (1995) and "Ka-Ne-La" (1996).
|Eduardo Paim & Paulo Flores
An accusation of involvement with drugs almost broke his career in 1997. From doing six shows a month his schedule was reduced to one per year. He decided to return to Angola in order to realise an old dream; building up his own record studio. With this new project the "EP Studios" he soon earned a big name in the Angolan music business as producer. In this new role he supported the career of many Angolan singers and groups of the new generation such as Paulo Flores, Dog Murras and Banda Maravilha.
This focus on his producing activities reduced his own cd-output, so after the release of the cd "Mujimbus" (1998) his fans had to wait nearly eight years for a sucessor.
In fact the album "Maruva na taca" (2006) meant a real "come-back" of "General Kambuengo". With the participation of artists such as Bonga, Papytchulo, Nancy Vieira, Big Boss and Yuri da Cunha among many others, Paim gathered an impressive list of guest musicians on this album. After "Maruva na taca" Eduardo Paim took again a long period before he came with his new cd "Etu mu dietu".

The Cherry Mobile Fiesta 2015 brochure leaks continue with the revelation of another device under their high-end series, the Cherry Mobile Cosmos S2.
The Cherry Mobile Cosmos S2 sports a 5-inch HD IPS touchscreen display, but it ditched out the traditional LCD screen and opted to use an AMOLED panel. On the inside is a 1.5GHz 64-bit octa core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM. The chipset used is unknown, but the best possible match would be the new MediaTek MT6753 with Mali-T720 GPU.

At the back of the device is a 13MP BSI main camera while the front has an 8MP BSI camera. The image above shows that it has a retail price tag of Php9,999, dual LTE functionality, 'super power battery saver' and has aluminum build.
The Cosmos S2 also runs on the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, if I am not mistaken, this is the second smartphone from Cosmic Technologies to run on Lollipop directly out of the box, the other one is the Cherry Mobile One.
