Thames Estuary
Coordinates: 51°30′N 0°35′E / 51.500°N 0.583°E
The Thames Estuary is the estuary in which the River Thames meets the waters of the North Sea, in the south-east of Great Britain.
It is not easy to define the limits of the estuary.[1] Although physically the head of Sea Reach or the Kent / Essex Strait, south of Canvey Island on the northern (Essex) shore presents a western boundary, the Tideway itself can be considered estuarine; it starts in south-west London at Teddington/Ham. The eastern boundary of the estuary suggested in a Hydrological Survey of 1882-9 is a line drawn from North Foreland, Margate, Kent via the Kentish Knock lighthouse to Harwich in Essex. It is to this line that the typical estuarine sandbanks extend.[2] The estuary downstream of the Tideway has a tidal movement of 4 metres, moving at a speed of 8 miles per hour.
The estuary is one of the largest of 170 such inlets on the coast of Great Britain. It constitutes a major shipping route: its thousands of movements each year include large oil tankers, container ships, bulk carriers and roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) ferries entering the estuary for the Port of London and the Medway Ports of Sheerness, Chatham and Thamesport.
The traditional Thames sailing barge worked in this area, designed to be suitable for the shallow waters in the smaller ports. More recently one of the largest wind farms in the UK has been developed in the estuary, located 8.5 km north of Herne Bay, Kent. The farm contains 30 wind turbines generating a total of 82.4MW of electricity. The much larger London Array of up to 1GW capacity is also planned.
This area has had several proposed sites for the building of a new airport to supplement, or even to replace Heathrow/Gatwick. In the 1960s Maplin Sands was a contender; in 2002 it was to be at Cliffe, Kent. The new airport would be built on a man-made island in the estuary north of Minster-in-Sheppey [3] There is also some discussion about the need for a Lower Thames Crossing in order to alleviate traffic congestion at Dartford.
The Thames Estuary is the focal part of the 21st-century toponym, the "Thames Gateway", designated as one of the principal development areas in Southern England.
Greater Thames Estuary
The appellation Greater Thames Estuary[4] applies to the coast and the low-lying lands bordering the estuary itself. These are characterised by the presence of mudflats, low-lying open beaches and salt marshes, namely the North Kent Marshes and the Essex Marshes. Man-made embankments are backed by reclaimed wetland grazing areas, but Rising sea levels may make it necessary to temporarily flood some of that land in places at spring tides, to take the pressure off the defences.
There are many smaller estuaries in Essex, including the Rivers Colne, Blackwater and Crouch Small coastal villages depend on an economy of fishing, boat-building, and yachting.[5] The Isle of Sheppey, Foulness Island and Mersea Island are part of the coastline
Where higher land reaches the coast there are some larger settlements, such as Clacton-on-Sea to the north in Essex, Herne Bay, Kent, and the Southend-on-Sea area within the narrower part of the estuary
The River Thames flowing through London is a classic river estuary, with sedimentary deposition restricted through manmade embankments. The district of Teddington a few miles south-west of London's centre marks the boundary between the tidal and non-tidal parts of the Thames, although it is still considered a freshwater river about as far east as Battersea insofar as the average salinity is very low and the fish fauna consists predominantly of freshwater species such as roach, dace, carp, perch, and pike. The Thames Estuary becomes brackish between Battersea and Gravesend, and the diversity of freshwater fish species present is smaller, primarily roach and dace, euryhaline marine species such as flounder, European seabass, mullet, and smelt become much more common. Further east, the salinity increases and the freshwater fish species are completely replaced by euryhaline marine ones, until the river reaches Gravesend, at which point conditions become fully marine and the fish fauna resembles that of the adjacent North Sea and includes both euryhaline and stenohaline marine species. A similar pattern of replacement can be observed with the aquatic plants and invertebrates living in the river.[6][7]
Cultural references
Joseph Conrad lived in Stanford-le-Hope close to the Essex marshes. His The Mirror of the Sea (1906) contains a memorable description of the area as seen from the Thames. It is also described in the first pages of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, as both the launching place of England's great ships of exploration and colonization and, in ancient times, the site of colonization of the British Isles by the Roman Empire.
- Accent
The form of speech of many of the people of the area, principally the accents of those from Kent and Essex, is often known as Estuary English. The term is a term for a milder variety of the "London Accent". The spread of Estuary English extends many hundreds of miles outside London and all of the neighbouring home counties around London have residents who moved from London and brought their version of London accents with them leading to interference with the established local accents. The term London Accent is generally avoided as it can have many meanings. Forms of "Estuary English" as a hybrid between Received pronunciation and various London accents can be heard in all of the New Towns, all of the coastal resorts and in the larger cities and towns along the Thames Estuary.

If you're creating a commercial edifice just like an apartment complex, hotel, veterinarian's office, or other structure, you need to make certain the "insides" of the building are as solid and sturdy since it's "outsides." When getting a commercial piping contractor for the project, you'll without doubt be consulted regarding the kinds of plumbing pipes that'll be installed at the property. Here's much more about the different sorts of pipes most generally utilized in commercial building construction that will help you make an educated decision.
Utilized in over 80% of business construction jobs, copper is the "king" of piping materials, and it is cost reflects that title. Since it is a gentle metal, you can easily cut which is also considered an very reliable material. It's two primary drawbacks: it may split when frozen also, when the water in your town includes a low pH level, its chemical qualities may corrode copper earlier than you would like, leading to eco-friendly stains and "funny" tasting water.
Galvanized Steel
Even though this material was broadly used 40 and half a century ago, it enjoys only limited use now. It features a existence expectancy of approximately 35 years, nevertheless its complaints are lots of: its interior surfaces have a tendency to corrode with time, and also the resulting buildup inside the pipe has a tendency to decrease waterflow and drainage. Also, this kind of pipe material tends toward dripping more frequently than its counterparts.
Mix Linked Polyethylene (PEX)
Pipes produced from this translucent plastic-type generally are available in three simple to recognize colors: while, blue, and red. Since it only has experienced use during the last fifteen years approximately, the jury continues to be on its lengthy-term effectiveness and sturdiness. However, it is very well-liked by commercial pipers recently since it installs easily and it is less costly than copper.
In order to find Alloy Steel Tubes manufacturers in india suitable to your respective needs, you should look for a company that would help you make the most of your steel pipes needs in the best manner possible. They should be able to cater to your respective needs at affordable price.

Roughing the passer is the only personal foul with tack on. Also, all personal fouls against the passer are considered roughing the passer.
It happened from the time the ball was snapped until the ball was thrown and in the air and before the catch was made.
We do not have "illegal hands to the face" as a penalty in Fed rules. We do not have "illegal use of the hands" as a penalty in Fed rules.
No. To invoke the rule the penalty must be accepted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
QUICK QUIZ....IF the clock read 0:02 at he end of the play, could A use our spiffy new timing rule, decline the foul to gain more yardage and star on the snap??
I don't believe that declining the yardage would change the spot from the inbounds spot. It would end up 1st and goal on the inbounds hash mark nearest the DB spot.
Just so I fully understand the correct ruling here, because it was part of a loose ball play, the penalty is enforced at the previous spot. Had the foul occurred after the catch was made, the foul would be enforced at the end of the run (after the catch). There was no targeting on this play so I am not sure how that got in the mix. Would the best call on this be illegal use of the hands or PF on the defense for having the hands inside and/or on the facemask and bending the offensive lineman head all the way back? To me I believe it depends on the severity of the action and that's why I called a PF. /quote]Sounds right to me. The judgment between Illegal Use of Hands and Personal Foul is ENTIRELY YOUR's to make based on what YOU observed. NFHS 9-4-3G references ANY contact deemed "unnecessary or excessive and which incites roughness".I agree that adding "Targeting" would be a gratuitous example of "piling on".

A couple of weeks ago we took a road trip to Saint-Bartelemy, QC
Which is about 90 minutes east from Montreal
I actually found this place on Facebook and it looked like an hidden gem!
They even boast having 100,000 antique hardware pieces....
Oh my what a treat! I knew right there that this was going to be an awesome
They have a big backroom and that was what we were looking for....
In the 80's when my Dad bought the ground floor of his house, 2 guys bought
the second floor (where I now live) and changed all the original door handles with 80's
weird white plastic door handles that have since yellowed.
So now we have decided to replace those awful handles with
bonefide antique door knobs
The hardware selection is amazing and overwhelming!
There is so much stuff, I wanted to change everything in my house!
But before I go crazy....we will take pictures and measurements....
we also stopped at an awesome general store called
Magasin General Lebrun
It is a store, museum and cafe all rolled into one
- They have a great selection of gifts, housewares and
On display are antique exhibits of day to day items
used in Quebec in the early 1900's
My Dad would've loved this place!
I can't wait to go back with pictures and measurements to get new
door handles!
When my Dad died, I promised him only one thing...
That I was going to take care of the house as much as I could.
We are staying put for the time being.
The succession is not closed yet....
The books are still here...
it is as if nobody wants them and that would break my Dad's heart if he was still alive...
I am praying that we will all be okay and that we don't need to sell the house...
we will see.....

Bunny Breed Guide: Jersey Woolly Rabbits
Little fuzzy balls of fluff, Jersey Woolly rabbits are beautiful animals, and beautiful pets. However I must issue a caveat here, this type of rabbit is not suitable for outdoor living in a hutch, it is not suitable as a pet for energetic children who may handle it roughly, and it is not suitable for anyone who doesn't have the time to take care of its beautiful coat.
Jersey Woolly rabbits are relatively small rabbits, coming in at around three to four pounds. They can appear much larger than they really are due to their fantastic coats which fluff out all around them. Very popular show rabbits, they are a fancy breed, and should only be purchased from a reputable breeder who has paid attention to good quality bloodlines, and not breeding genetic faults into the rabbit that could cause it to have health or temperament problems.
Jersey Woolly Rabbits have erect ears, and a short, compact little body. They are known as the 'fluff of the fancy' for good reason, when groomed to show standard, they really do appear to be little balls of fluff. They are also generally blessed with a lovely temperament, gentle and friendly, they are less likely to bite than some other more highly strung breeds.
Because this is a show breed, I will give some information about what sort of points to look for in a Jersey Woolly Rabbit.
Standards and Faults
A Jersey Woolly rabbit should be almost like a ball, with its length equal to its width. It is considered a fault if a jersey woolly rabbit is too narrow or long in head or body. The fur should also be full and replete, and should be evenly distributed over the body. Thinning fur, fur which is matted, wiry, coarse, or even too soft in mature rabbits, fur that is too soft or of uneven lengths are all faults. Ears should be held nicely and ideally should be two and a half inches long. Ears that are not held nicely erect are also considered to be faults.
Faults that lead to disqualification include very narrow long body types, ears which are over three inches in length, wool which is less than one and a half inches long on the top, back and sides of the rabbit, and wool which grows below the ankle joint.
Wool is naturally a very important part of showing a Jersey Woolly rabbit. It should have an even density, an even length, and a pleasing texture.
General Comments
You do not have to limit yourself to a show specimen of course. If you are simply looking for a gentle natured, friendly bunny companion, then a Jersey Woolly is an excellent choice.
I sell baby jersey woolly for anyone whos interested email me at email@example.com
Do u know anyone that sells jersey woolly?
Dareyl Fontaine You can not fit them in your hand. They are around the size on a soccer ball.
How small are they, like can you fit them in your hands
my rabbit is from a n-kill animal shelter that i volunteer for
I have a jersey wooly that came from two Netherlands who carry the woolly gene and would like to start a wooly line but I am unsure of how to go about breeding can I breed back or what do I need to breed to Netherlands or woollys
I live in Arizona. I have a Woolly. Can it live outside on the patio in a cage
I LOVE bunnies if I get Strate a's I am getting a woolie!!!!!!!!
In response to the question, the best place to find a Jersey Wooly rabbit is from a breeder who produces quality, pedigreed rabbits for show purposes. I have info on caring for Woolies on my website and lots of cute pics: www.jerseywoolyrabbit.weebly.com.
I breed woolies and they're the sweetest rabbits I've ever had. They are very sweet, gentle bunnies and I haven't experienced any health problems. I would definitely recommend them as pets and/or show bunnies. They are a joy to have!:)
I am planning on maybe getting a doe Wooly:) If only my parents say yes;)
i have some woolies (:
I realy want a wooly. So, where do you get them?
where did you get your bunnies?
imjust got two woolies what is the best brush to use on them ???
Jersey Woolies are a fantastic breed!! I currently own 4. They've never had any health issues and have done remarkably in the cold of last winter as well as the heat of this summer. The adult rabbits with the correct coat types only need to be groomed about once every 2-3 weeks. And they are complete ragdolls in my arm and love to be held and stroked! By far, the BEST rabbits I've ever owned!!
I have never had any issues with these rabbits. They have wonderful temperaments, and are easy to care for as long at you keep them indoors and maintain their coats.
Woolies don't have a lot of health problems like stated above. It could just be the lines in your area... I have been raising them for 5 years and they are great rabbits and have never had any health problems commonly show up with the breed, nor have the many other breeds I know... Most have wonderful personalities and make great pets too as well as showing/breeding animals. They are wonderful rabbits. :)
Yes, I have about 6 total Jersey Woolies at my Rabbitry. They are not so common at my place, actually usually I don't have them. They usually have a lot of health problems and don't adapt very well to cold or extremely hot temperatures.

Alderweireld withdrawal offers Gillet opportunity - Wilmots
Marc Wilmots is expected to deploy Guillaume Gillet at right-back in Belgium's friendly against Portugal on Tuesday after Toby Alderweireld withdrew from the squad through illness.
The Tottenham defender is the eighth absentee for Belgium, with Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, Christian Benteke, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany, Divock Origi and Jan Vertonghen already ruled out.
Wilmots may subsequently use versatile Nantes midfielder Gillet in place of Alderweireld, but would not reveal precise details on how his side will line up for the match in Leiria.
.@AlderweireldTob still feeling ill. He will not travel to Portugal. Get well soon Toby! #porbel— BelgianRedDevils (@BelRedDevils) March 28, 2016
"Guillaume has never disappointed, he was still doing well at right-back with Anderlecht and currently plays with great confidence," said the coach.
"So much has happened during the last days. Players could still fall sick or get injured, so we will consider the team tomorrow – and I do not want to give the opposition an advantage."
Despite his lengthy injury list, Wilmots is remaining positive and hopes to see the fringe players take their chance with Euro 2016 just around the corner.
"The result is not the most important thing tomorrow, but the manner of our play. I want to see discipline, a collective block and good pressing. The solidity of the team interests me," he added.
"We are missing some important players, but that's not an excuse for us. Those who have played less have the opportunity to show themselves.
"We should not weep for the many injured players. If there is a problem, we find a solution. Belgium does not want to lose, Belgium wants to win."
The Belgium coach also highlighted the threat of Cristiano Ronaldo, who he feels just needs an international title with Portugal to complete a decorated career.
"He is a player who was once considered the best in the world. He is a player who scores 45 goals per season," Wilmots continued.
"He has won everything there is to win at club level; he is just missing something with the national team."
Former Benfica midfielder Axel Witsel will captain Belgium in Leiria and insists they will not be focused on trying to nullify Ronaldo.
"He's one of the best players in the world, but Portugal has other good players in attack like Quaresma, Nani and Danny. There will not be anti-Ronaldo tactics," he said.

Camera and Lens Choices
Your choice of camera as a professional photographer is made a little more complex by the expectations of clients, but you'll generally be able to choose the gear you want. Maybe you should avoid buying that bright red or pink camera, just to appear serious about what you do.
Most enthusiasts' cameras have roughly the same choice of manual, semi-auto and fully automatic shooting modes. This is true whether they're micro four-thirds cameras, four-thirds cameras, crop-sensor SLRs or full-frame SLRs. Once you've used one camera, you can use most, albeit after acquainting yourself with different buttons and menu systems.
Traditionally, wedding photographers tended to veer towards big full-frame SLRs for their superior low-light performance. This is useful in murky places like churches. These days, however, cameras of all sizes often yield good results at high ISO settings, but you'll want to research low-light performance before buying any camera.
Whatever camera system you use, shooting in RAW format helps stack the odds in your favor. You'll have more scope to edit the photos after the event and reduce noise levels as necessary. Shooting JPEGs might seem convenient, but you get much less latitude in post processing, and you don't want to put yourself under needless pressure to get everything perfect in-camera.
Even if you buy a relatively cheap, modest camera body, there should be no compromise in the lenses you choose as a pro photographer. Expensive lenses tend to give excellent image quality, of course, but they are also usually the "fastest" lenses (i.e. with wide maximum apertures), making them ideal for low-light shooting. This second point is vital: you can't miss photos or end up with blurred pictures because you skimped on lens expense.
You'll typically want a selection of lenses as a wedding or event photographer, including a telephoto zoom, wide-angle (or wide-angle zoom), portrait lens, and a good medium telephoto lens with image stabilization as an all-round workhorse: this is the absolute minimum to start working like a pro.

I know it's not summer, but I was inspired for a summer outfit. You can wear this outfit with a thigh if you want to wear with now & with a cute ankle boots. I like this Loeffle Randall, they are very pretty. A cute little skirt with a cute crop shirt is pretty for the summer time. I put a cute blue light nail polish & it goes with the shirt too. I add so gold jewellery. I put a Mulberry bag because I love Mulberry's bag. You can go with a white one or cream one too.
What do you think about this outfit? Do you like it? Leave me a comment below! :)

Sunday we finally got around to going to church. Having failed miserably to get there last week due to the weather, I was determined not to be deterred this week. I'm glad we went and tried it. Completely new to us, in that it is a very much more traditional sort of service, in a rather more traditional church, but it was nice enough and I felt at ease there. We will certainly try it a few more times to see how things go.
The rest of Sunday was just spent pottering around the house. I did a bit of personal bible study which was lovely, whilst the children were *ahem* helping dh in the garden.
Today has been a nice enough sort of a day. We went to Trago Mills this morning for general bits and pieces, then popped in to give a birthday gift to one of Emma's boys. We didn't stay for long as they were expecting visitors, but the brief chat we did have was lovely and made me even more determined to arrange another visit soon.
We returned home and Chelsea and Joseph played out on their bikes, whilst Tiegan and I played "hairdressers". She so loves having one-to-one attention, and delighted in us taking it in turns doing each others hair and make-up.
I have finally managed to sort out the Scouts for Joseph, so he is starting there tomorrow night. I am so happy that it is just around the corner from where we live so no night driving necessary. The dear lad is so desperately excited, I just hope it lives up to his expectations.
I had a phone call from my brother to say that work on the flooring should commence on Wednesday, so fingers crossed it does this time. I'm not looking forward to the awkwardness of having it fitted, but it will be worth it. Photos will then be taken and shown off *grin*.
Well, the children all seem to be settled in bed now, so I'm off to the craft room to complete a couple of card orders I have so I can post them off in the morning :-)

Mata of importance! Man Utd ace calls for Old Trafford improvement ahead of Man City clash
JUAN MATA wants Manchester United to take their new found confidence into the derby against fiercest rivals Manchester City tomorrow evening.
The Spain star had to sit out United's 3-0 Champions League victory over Olympiakos last Wednesday due to being cup-tied having played for Chelsea earlier in the competition.
And having lost Robin van Persie to a knee injury in that match, David Moyes restored Mata to the starting line-up at West Ham in a more central role behind Wayne Rooney.
Mata, who has often been played on the right of midfield since his arrival from Chelsea, demonstrated his undoubted ability in the 2-0 victory over the Hammers.
"You can already feel in the streets that special atmosphere"Juan Mata
Ahead of his first Manchester derby, Mata is desperate for United to improve on their form at Old Trafford where they have lost five times in the Premier League this season.
"The team has got confidence and now there is an exciting challenge ahead: our derby against City on Tuesday," Mata said.
"It will be the first one for me and I'm looking forward to it. You can already feel in the streets that special atmosphere.
"Moreover, the next weekend we will play in Old Trafford again, this time Aston Villa.
"We must get better results at home, in the away games we are the best team so far."

Monday after the Last Sunday after Epiphany
Scripture: Exodus 16-18 (NKJV)
16:1 And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt. 2 Then the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 And the children of Israel said to them, "Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
4 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not. 5 And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."
6 Then Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening you shall know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt. 7 And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for He hears your complaints against the LORD. But what are we, that you complain against us?" 8 Also Moses said, "This shall be seen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD."
9 Then Moses spoke to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before the LORD, for He has heard your complaints.'" 10 Now it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'"
13 So it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp. 14 And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground. 15 So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was.
And Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 'Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.'"
17 Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. 18 So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need. 19 And Moses said, "Let no one leave any of it till morning." 20 Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.'" 24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. 25 Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there will be none."
27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. 28 And the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws? 29 See! For the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day." 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 'Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'" 33 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations." 34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.
17:1 Then all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, "Give us water, that we may drink."
And Moses said to them, "Why do you contend with me? Why do you tempt the LORD?"
3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses, and said, "Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?"
4 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me!"
5 And the LORD said to Moses, "Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink."
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"
8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 And Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand." 10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, "Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
18:1 And Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people—that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, 3 with her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gershom (for he said, "I have been a stranger in a foreign land ") 4 and the name of the other was Eliezer (for he said, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh "); 5 and Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mountain of God. 6 Now he had said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her."
7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and kissed him. And they asked each other about their well-being, and they went into the tent. 8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how the LORD had delivered them. 9 Then Jethro rejoiced for all the good which the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 10 And Jethro said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, He was above them." 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and other sacrifices to offer to God. And Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.
13 And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening. 14 So when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?"
15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God. 16 When they have a difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws."
17 So Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good. 18 Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself. 19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. 20 And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. 21 Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22 And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace."
24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.
27 Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way to his own land.
How twisted perceptions can become for those whose hearts are devoid of gratitude toward God for His countless blessings. "Oh that the Lord had slain us back when we had all sorts of good things to eat. If only we had died with full bellies and [presumably] smiles on our faces." How had they forgotten the brutality of their Egyptian masters and the killing of their male children? How had they forgotten how they had cried to the heavens for deliverance from the bitterness of their life in Egyptian bondage?
God was clearly with them in the pillar of fire by night and cloud by day, and yet they had the temerity to ask Moses with bitter sarcasm, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?" (14:11). God had stretched out His mighty hand to deliver them and they responded by complaining; whining about the fleshpots of Egypt. It makes as much sense as being delivered from the terror of addiction and then complaining that you have missed the "partying," or being delivered from heterodoxy and then grumbling about certain fiscal benefits that came with your much larger former affiliation.
In the meantime, godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Tim. 6:6). Our greatest need, that of deliverance from sin and everlasting death, has been satisfied in Christ Jesus. Surely He will address our lesser needs as well.
We pray: Lord God, protect us from shallowness, from an "entitlement mindset," and from hardness of heart, as You keep us in the one true faith with Jesus Christ, always ready to give thanks for Your blessings of life and salvation; In Jesus' Name. Amen.

In a rare interview, given as a thank you to the media for keeping St Andrews a largely "Press-free" zone during his first two years at university, Prince William today speaks out about his life as a student.
In the run-up to his 21st birthday on June 21, William talks of his love of Scotland and how the Scottish people have made him feel at home.
Relieved his exams were over, William poured himself a glass of mineral water and looked forward to the long summer.
He had just completed his last end-of-year exam - a two-hour geography paper - and it was time to wind down.
"Everybody thinks I drink beer but I actually like cider," said the student Prince, preparing to party that evening.
William agreed to a rare interview as a thank you to the Scottish media for keeping St Andrews a largely "Press-free zone" during his first two years at university.
The next King-but-one shared his passion for the Fife town where he has the freedom to be plain "Will" or just William.
He told how he runs on the beach where the movie Chariots Of Fire was filmed, swims in the sea, and values the friendship of fellow students and townspeople.
"People here just treat me like everyone else - it's really nice," he said.
"I'm able to lead a near-normal life because of a combination of reasons really. The media have been very good considering, I'm sure, how tantalising it is having me up here, and the people of St Andrews and the students have been so supportive. So, basically, I feel very comfortable."
William's choice of university had so far lived up to his expectations and he said he loved being there.
But he revealed he had thought about quitting after a year and had discussed it with Prince Charles.
"I think the rumours that I was unhappy got slightly out of control," he said. "But I was like most people, I think, when you first come to university.
"It's new surroundings, new scenery, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It's the same as starting school really and I was a little uneasy.
"My father was very understanding about it and realised I had the same problems as he probably had. He was very good about it and we chatted a lot and in the end we both realised - I definitely realised - that I had to come back."
"I don't think I was homesick, I was more daunted."
Halfway through his Master of Arts Honours degree, he said he would recommend university education "as long as you work".
"You have a lot of time to yourself and you have to keep busy. It's very different from school. But the last two years have gone by so quickly.
"Living in a hall of residence for the first year was a good move. That's where I met most of my friends. Immediately, you're all put together - a whole load of people in similar positions - and it was a lot of fun."
He is moving to a more rural setting next academic year.
"I do think I'm a country boy at heart. I love the buzz of towns and going out with friends and sitting with them drinking and whatever - it's fun. But, at the same time, I like space and freedom.
"I like cinemas, bars, restaurants and lots of sport - on the beach, playing quick golf - just making use of everything up here. There's quite a lot to do here."
What of the future?
"I really haven't thought much about that," he said. "I'm really just concentrating on getting through the next two years."

Ayaka Kaneko is coming off her first full year playing golf as a tour pro, and heads into LPGA Q-School Finals in December. She was born in Japan (her father played pro baseball for the Chunichi Dragons, but spent her teens years in Hawaii, winning numerous tournaments and awards as part of the powerhouse Hawaii Junior Golf Association. Ayaka finished second at the 2006 Callaway Golf Junior World Golf Championship and was runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Junior Girls Amateur Championship. She was a 2007 Junior All-America.
As an amateur she played in several LPGA tournaments (first in 2006) and in a couple JLPGA events. On the Futures Tour in 2010, Ayaka made 12 of 17 cuts with a best finish of 15th. She turns 21 in January of 2011.
1. Tell us about your background, born in one country and raised in another.
I was born and raised in Japan and I moved to Hawaii when I was 12. I graduated high school in Hawaii. I don't remember much about growing up in Japan just because I was so young. All my memories and friends are in Hawaii. I am still Japanese, but I love America :)
2. This year (2010) was your first full year as a professional golfer. What lessons - what surprises - were there along the way?
It was my first full year as a professional. I played on the Duramed Futures Tour. It was tough, yet fun. Every week I had to travel to a different state and get used to the new course. It was a very busy and challenging summer for me but I got to meet lots of nice people and I made some close friends over this summer.
I had a very funny surprise this summer. It was at The International at Concord in New Hampshire. After the first round me and my mom went to dinner and I think my mom was really tired. I was standing right next to her when she was closing the trunk. She didn't realized I was standing there and she just closed the trunk on my head. That night I had a really bad headache and I was dizzy all night.
The next day I woke up and went to the course but I couldn't play because I was too out of it. So, I withdrew from the tournament and I went to the hospital for an MRI. Nothing was wrong with my brain and bone but my mom was extremely sorry that I had to WD and that I had the worst headache for a week. It was pretty funny to me.
3. What ingredients are required for a really great luau?
Kalua pig, Hawaiian music, and hula!
4. In September you finished sixth at the California sectional in LPGA Q-School. Can you describe the pressure that golfers feel at Q-School?
I think Q-School is something totally different, pressure is so high. Q-School can truly change your life. It can lead you to a different world. I tried not to put so much pressure on myself. I tried to enjoy the moment and the opportunity I had.
5. How are you preparing for the Q-School finals in December?
I will be practicing at LPGA International until Q-School finals. I still have time to work on the things that I have to improve.

Yep folks, I landed up in hospital (The Royal London, Whitechapel) for a couple of weeks with an infection, MRSA in the blood, source not entirely sure of but scary enough.
I was also heavily overloaded with fluid, due to body weight loss. I have had 2 ultrasounds on my heart, & another test which cleverly calculates how much 'excess' fluid your body is retaining. Simple electrical conductivity, but effective.
I'm down to 57 kg (abt 9 stone)
At worst it could have become a repeat of 2004 :( It's amazing how quickly you become institutionalised, noises, having a view of the clinical waste bins a few yards from your window rather than sports fields & woodland. Having a fairly empty room & being poked with a needle before breakfast. Spending 2 weeks with no TV or internet! ! I soon became friends with Radio 4 again, & as I listen to Magic FM anyway, it was quite a comfort. Oh & hospital radio. Teehee!
I read through my first Wilbur Smith book, birds of Prey, & started on my first John Grisham double book "The Partner" & The Runaway Jury" Both books , 3 of em, were 7 quid the lot. Given that the hospital shop has a sitting, lying or otherwise custom it wasn't too bad.
We also discovered a new cafe, simply called 'The Eatery' just round the corner of the hospital. It's no replacement for the sorely missed Star Cafe that closed a year or so ago, but it does lovely sandwiches, pasties, & tea. the staff are v friendly. Some of the stuff is fair trade/organic.
Hospital food has got better, dare I say it, but it is probably full of extra pesticides/fungicides, antibiotics & growth hormones in the meat in the meals just to keep ya in a bit longer!
A bit of butter & pepper goes a long way, IF you remember to ask.
The puddings, some of em weren't too bad!
I was released/discharged on Tuesday due to:
A flooding in the ward, toilets blocking up, overflowing, 2 floors were part flooded, ward cordoned off a week later when I visited a nearby department. I regret not taking pics. I think the beeb would have been more interested;) Time still!
B: the doc deciding that I was well enough to leave & not be one of the many moved to another ward.
As a certain member of staff commented I was "better off NOT being in a third world hospital!" Such is the moral of NHS staff:) Or maybe cynicism. Oooh a long word!
I have 2 more doses of antibiotics, & in between a TOE scan, to see if my heart valves are/are not leaking. SCARY...This involves a camera down yours truelys throat to see the heart properly. The ribs etc get in the way from the outside, apparently.
I'm seeing Bill Baily at the Royal Albert Hall live next week, all things permitting , WOOHOO
After that. well we'll see. fingers crossed no problems!
My parents have been amazingly supportive, bringing in food, fresh clothes, books etc & keeping me posted on the outside worlds goings on. Thank you to all those who wished me well, sent cards, came to visit, good vibes etc. It is VERY much appreciated.
I'm on the road to nowhere!

No probs hun, sometimes things just come up!
I do, & it was brilliant, some old matieral mixed in with a fair bit of new stuff. Of course it wasn't Bill doing regular standup but a fairly big musical event mixed in!
And the Royal Albert Hall is ace!

Building a career is amazing, but a career that will pay you to do the things that you want to do, or go to the places that you'd like to go, is almost unheard of. That's one of the perks of a career with Gridiron. As part of the Gridiron family, you have the opportunity to win trips to some of the best locations in the world. Our company trips have been in cities ranging from New York, Chicago, South Beach Miami, Denver, Tucson, San Diego, and the list goes on and on. All trips are incentive based, and all expenses paid! This coming year, the company trips will be in Seattle, Washington and Orlando, Florida with some amazing side trips to Victoria, BC and our course Disney World!
The Gridiron incentive trips are even more exciting. 2013 was the first time that we made incentive trips available every quarter, and since then we've done everything from wine tasting excursions to Napa Valley, private islands in Key West, trips to London, Paris, Italy, Munich (for Octoberfest), Greece, and many many more. Why save your money for these types of trips when they can be paid for you?!

Beyonce as "Mrs Carter in H&M". Just when you think she can't possibly get any hotter she does. I have officially decided she is not human. No-one can look this good.

And if this has not sufficiently depressed you (bear in mind this is post-baby) then look how happy and ridiculously good looking her and hubby Jay-Z are. And how much she loves dancing on him.
When I grow up I want to be as good at life as Beyonce.

I've decided to start this blog to help make running a little bit more fashionable. With all the great gear out there, why not give the people you run by a little something to stare at. Also there will be some training tips, journalesque type entries and female running news and facts.
A little bit about the Chic Runner.
I hail from the great concrete jungle of Orange County. Okay so it's not all bad, especially the long beach runs I can put in and of course the shopping. :) In La Palma, the city where I live, You can pretty much run the entire city in 10 minutes. Okay, exaggeration, but it's pretty small, and all the trails, you guessed it. Sidewalks. I love my Nike Pegasus shoes, and Nike+ has saved my life. I love running though, and put my two loves together and whalaaa the Chic Runner appears. I ran cross country and track in high school and played soccer to keep me in shape over the off seasons. Recently a college graduate, thanks Dad, I finally found my niche in the advertising industry and hope for immense growth with the company I am currently at because I love it here. Currently, I'm training for a 1/2 marathon, my first, in October. Well see how that one turns out.
What I love.
Chicken dishes, casseroles and yes, the dreaded and oh-so-fattening cheddar cheese. I am a meatatarian. I love bad reality tv and reading. I love crisp air, red apples, and traveling. Nordstrom and Anthropologie are clutch for every type of outfit. I absolutely love my job. Cupcakes are fattening, and delicious. Starbucks puts a huge grin on my face. I also love finding sales, fashion, design, and receiving and sending text messages. Running in the rain or by the beach is pretty much my favorite type of run.
What I loathe.
Running through unexpected spiderwebs or a swarm of gnats and you think to yourself, wait, did I really just swallow that bug? Saying good bye to a pair of running shoes makes me sad. Scary dogs that look like they might jump over the wall and attack me are not good. People staring at me when I run like the honking and whistling. (seriously boys, grow up.) I also don't like calories, but at the same time, it doesn't stop me from enjoying all that life has to offer. :)
So join the journey. Lace up and see what the Chic Runner will run to next.
