Children's Ministry
Sunday School
9:45 am – 10:45 am Sunday
Sunday School is the basic Bible teaching program of our Children's ministry. It is the backbone of all we do! We have a great time of Bible study with teachers who are prepared to help the children learn Bible stories, memorize Bible verses, know how to use their Bibles and discover that the Bible is their guide for Christian living. We believe learning the Bible can be fun! Our desire is to help the children learn God's truth and help them apply it to their everyday lives. Elementary aged children meet on the second floor of EB2 for Sunday School.
Bible Buddies and Bible Drill
12:10 pm – 1:30 pm Sundays, January–April
Bible Buddies is designed for children in grades 2-3. Girls and boys in this group meet for six weeks and learn the books of the Bible, a few Bible verses, and how to use their Bibles effectively.
Children's Bible Drill is designed for girls and boys in grades 4-6. Participation in Bible Drill can help children increase their knowledge of the Bible and skill in using the Bible.
Missions (GAs and RAs)
6:35 pm Wednesday
GAs and RAs are mission programs for children designed to help them learn about missions and missionaries in our community, country and world. Children not only learn about missions, they learn to pray for, give to, and do missions in fun and creative ways.
New Christian Class
Fall and Spring for 4 Weeks
This is a class for children who have made a profession of faith or would like to know more about salvation and church membership. It is offered in four classes, twice a year in the fall and spring, during the Sunday School hour. In this class children are taught the meaning of becoming a Christian, what Baptists believe, growing in their faith, and becoming a church member.

UPDATE: Following the online controversy, Michael Buble issued a statement on April 17, telling Us Weekly his comments were not meant to be hurtful. "I do not court controversy, but I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue," he said. "It hurts me deeply that anyone would think that I would disrespect women or be insulting to any human being . . .I regret that there are people out there who found the photo offensive. That was not and is not my intention. Women are to be celebrated, loved, respected, honored and revered. I've spent my life believing that and will continue to do so."
Michael Buble has hit a sour note with many of his one million Instagram followers. On vacation with his wife, Luisana Lopilato, in Miami earlier this week, the "Haven't Met You Yet" singer was slammed for posting a photo of a woman and commenting on her backside.
The only problem? That woman wasn't his wife — and it appears the photo was snapped without her consent.
"There was something about this photo Lu took that seemed worthy of Instagram," Buble captioned the photo, which shows the singer in the foreground making a face in reference to the woman seen over his right shoulder. In his post, Buble remarks on the unidentified woman's derriere using hashtags like #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts, and #onlyinmiami. It was liked over 31,000 times.
Since he posted the pic April 13, fans of the Canadian crooner — dad to son Noah, 19 months — have expressed outrage. "Would you say what you hashtagged to her face?" wondered one commenter who saw Buble's post on Twitter. "I guess money can't buy class," sniped another.
. @michaelbuble hiiiii this is shamey and not very nice
— Lauren Simmons (@laurendorphin) April 14, 2015
@laurendorphin @michaelbuble yep. let's humiliate a stranger. Stay Classy, Buble.
— Pedro Jonnez (@mrsharpphoto) April 14, 2015
While many users condemned what they felt was body shaming on Buble's part, others didn't see the big deal.
"This isn't body shaming. His hashtags weren't even offensive," one Instagram user posted in the photo's comments section. "What's shameful is that the woman has her butt hanging out of her shorts. . . . Maybe we should be criticizing what's considered acceptable apparel instead of criticizing Michael for what he probably meant as a playful post."

Object as JavaScript object's Key
Can you use objects as Object keys in JavaScript?
The short answer is NO. All JavaScript object keys are strings. Even if you pass an object is a key, the object's
toString() will be called on it, and the key will get the string value "[object Object]".
If the above explanation did not make things obvious for you, or you in the mood for more probing, read on.
You might be wondering "Hey I have used objects as keys before!". Well, it sure might have looked like you used objects as keys, but it was not what you thought it was. Run the following code:
var o = {};
var x = {};
o[x] = 'Chuck Norris';
You get the expected result. But something is happening behind the scenes, not obvious to you.
When you do
o[x] = 'Chuck', the object
x is getting 'stringified' to
[object Object]. And when you do
x is again getting 'stringified' to
[object Object]. But since you getting expected result for
console.log(o[x]), you start to think you can actually use objects as keys.
Now get ready for the eye-opener. Run the following code:
console.log(o['[object Object]']);
There you are! You thought you were setting an object as key when actually you were setting values for the string key "[object Object]". See what happens when you try to use many objects as keys.
var o = {};
var x = {};
o[x] = 'Chuck';
o.x = 'Norris';
var y = {};
o[y] = 'Bruce';
o.y = 'Lee';
The object keys (after getting 'stringified') overwrite each other.
o[x] and
o[y] both are references to the string "[object Object]".
o.x is a true references to key named "x" of the object
o, similarly
o.y. As there is no key named "z", you get
undefined for
Now that you know you cannot use objects as keys in JavaScript, try answering this question: does JavaScript have associative arrays?

This post is a Teachable Moment in the News.
This is crossposted at the Huffington Post HERE.
We came in peace for all mankind
It was a moment that changed us. A moment that began a new chapter in the book of the human race. It was an achievement shared by all the peoples of the world … and in that moment—our differences were overwhelmed by the common bond of our humanity. And hear ye future generations—it was a testament to what we are collectively capable of achieving when we aim beyond the horizon.
Many of you reading this lived through it and were powerfully moved. Many of you were not yet born—but yearn to know what it was like.
I created this special post as a place where those that lived it could share the experience with those that did not.
If you were moved 40 years ago next month, please leave a comment below. Think about where you were, what it meant to you, and what it meant to the world. And we warmly invite you to put your thoughts to 'paper' here.
I'll start it off with my own very personal experience in the recent post: The Launch of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Brought Back Memories of Apollo 11.
I have also assembled a list of resources below to help you celebrate with friends and family, and follow the flight—in real time—as it happened 40 years ago. I'll be adding more to the list every few days.
With best wishes for great memories and wonderful sharing time,
Jeff Goldstein, Center Director, NCESSE
Please Tweet and Email the existence of this page far and wide, so we can remember together.
Return often to read new comments below with friends and family.
Feel the magic and the majesty—again.

I don't think it breaks any model. RDF is completely ignorant about any datatype other than rdf:XMLLiteral. Thus, it simply is unnable to say anything about lexical forms other than those for rdf:XMLLiteral. rdf:XMLLiteral is RDF's own datatype, so it seems reasonable that RDF parsers would pay it special attention -- but that doesn't mean that the datatype itself is in any way different from any other datatype or is getting treatment that is contrary to the MT. > And I think it'll be natural > for people > to wonder exactly how (or when) the validity of an instance of > rdf:XMLLiteral gets determined, if RDF software doesn't do it. I agree with you there, and upon considering it, I think we *should* in fact require (or at least very strongly encourage) RDF parsers to check explicitly specified lexical forms for rdf:XMLLiteral for validity. > If we > continue our litergy that says we're not defining a > processing model, I > don't see how this can be dependent on whether we imagine an RDF/XML > parser on top of an XML parser (for example). Even though we define > RDF/XML as the standard language for serializing RDF graphs, that > language is defined in terms of how the RDF/XML generates > triples. Well, I'd view validity checking of rdf:XMLLiteral lexical forms to be a syntax check, though I could conceive of many valid arguments that such checking would not be completely generic (but so what, what does it hurt?) > It's > at the level of triples that this validity checking would have to be > done. Presumably it's at this level that whether subjects and > predicates are valid URIrefs is determined, and whether any literals > specified are valid literals. Fine, so an RDF parser SHOULD (not necessarily MUST) check the validity of all lexical forms for rdf:XMLLiteral, however they were defined, and SHOULD issue a warning for any illformed lexical forms. We can treat it as an optional, but recommended, step following the purely generic, datatype agnostic parsing phase. > I'd note that an alternative would be to treat rdf:XMLLiteral sort of > like we treat other datatypes, except that we (RDF) have defined a > built-in name for it.

I don't really care, except if we're going to break the > model, I think we need to say so. I don't think any special attention given to rdf:XMLLiteral by RDF parsers breaks any model, but I agree that we should be clear about the what's and why's.

Benefits of Paddleboard Yoga
Kimberly Schamber
With swimsuit season right around the corner, now is the perfect time to get in shape while enjoying the outdoors. Stand-up paddleboard (or SUP) yoga offers both fitness and relaxation in a fun group setting. With this summertime trend sweeping the nation, here are a few reasons to get onboard:
Fun and Empowering
Learning to paddleboard is not only great exercise—it's a great way to get you out of your comfort zone so you can build confidence from learning a new skill, and laugh a lot while doing it. Sure, you might have a few spills, but practicing paddleboard yoga in a supportive group setting where it's okay to laugh at yourself is part of the experience. Experts say mixing it up is a good way to improve your fitness regimen and stay motivated, so paddleboard yoga will keep you from getting into a rut. With classes available for all levels from beginners to experts, it's also easy to find a class that fits your level of experience.
Low-impact Workout
One of the best things about working out on the water is that it's much easier on your joints than doing yoga on a hard surface. If you're worried about exercise taking a toll on your back and knees, this is a perfect alternative to running, weight training, and traditional forms of yoga that also gives you a vigorous workout.
Practicing yoga in the outdoors offers more benefits than attending a class at your local studio or gym. Not only does the beautiful natural setting aid in relaxation, but the sound of water has been shown to increase awareness of breathing. Focus on breath is very important to practicing yoga successfully, and the Vitamin D from limited sun exposure is a natural mood booster.The feeling of floating also helps to alleviate stress.
Easy to Afford
The equipment and clothing required for SUP yoga is relatively inexpensive, and most classes offer paddleboard rentals if you don't want to commit to purchasing your own. Typical sessions run from $30-$45 for 90 minutes, depending on whether you bring your own board.
Paddleboard yoga is perfect for practitioners of traditional forms of yoga who feel like shaking up their routines. Because of the balance required to keep from falling in, people who practice yoga on the water are more focused on the form and execution of their poses, which helps to refine technique and tone muscles. Constant balance also engages core muscles for a better workout than you would get at home or in a studio.
With so many health benefits, now is the perfect time to dive into paddleboard yoga. Whether you're just starting out or an expert yoga practitioner, SUPmerge offers many stylish, well-made paddleboard clothing options such as skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, tanks, and pullovers to help get you out on the water. SUPmerge paddleboard clothing that transitions from workout clothes to street wear will help you fit paddleboard yoga into your busy schedule.

Paterson confirms United offer
Steve Paterson has confirmed claims made by Inverness Caledonian Thistle that he rejected a direct approach from Dundee United for his services.
Paterson signed a new five-year deal as manager of Caley Thistle on Tuesday.
The Scottish Premier League outfit confirmed caretaker Paul Hegarty as the successor to sacked Alex Smith several hours after Paterson signed his new deal.
But United chairman Eddie Thompson sticks to his original claim that he had at no point approached Paterson about taking the manager's job.
It is understood that Paterson had become United's target after Ian McCall decided to remain at Falkirk.
On Tuesday Thompson claimed the Scottish First Division boss had sent in his CV to Tannadice.
But Paterson called a press conference at his club on Wednesday where he revealed he had actually rejected their advances at the weekend.
Caley Thistle announced on Tuesday that he and assistant Duncan Shearer would be contracted to them until the end of season 2006-07.
And Director of football Graeme Bennett had said afterwards: "To put the record straight, Steve was the subject of an approach from Dundee United to be their manager.
"But we are delighted he has chosen to stay."
The Highland club had been angered by United's approach, but Bennett said that, as far as they are concerned, the issue was over.
"In making this decision, we don't believe that Steve is closing the door to managing at Premier division level," he said.
"He can achieve that at this club, or at another, as the opportunity arises.
But the Premier League club are sticking by their claims.
"Under no circumstances would the chairman of Dundee United Football Club make a formal job offer to someone he has never met and he has never met Mr Paterson.
"What is sure, however, is that Steve Paterson applied for the job on 10 October via his agent.
"At no time did Dundee United make a direct approach to him or to Inverness.
"Conversations took place between the club and his agent.
"Similar conversations took place with several other candidates with indicative terms outlined to all of their representatives."
But the Dundee club attempted to end the feud by adding:
"To bring this matter to a close we are happy for Mr Paterson that he has managed to secure a five-year deal with his club."

The following need-based award is accorded to qualified Peoria's District 150 graduates and is a uniquely separate scholarship from Sigma Phi Epsilon's scholarships.
The Virgil S. Boucher '32 Scholarship Application is accorded through scholarship funds established at Monmouth College for male and female students and administered by the Financial Aid Office of the college.
Receiving the Virgil S. Boucher '32 Scholarship is a wonderful honor for any student. The scholarship description and application deadline is provided through this link:
We share in applauding his desire to help students further their education by attending Monmouth College. Good luck ladies and men.
Virgil Boucher, as a graduate of Monmouth College, remains in our hearts as a distinguished alumnus of our fraternity.
Former MC football great Virgil "Tige" Boucher '32 died Aug. 8, 2007, in Peoria, Ill., a little more than two months after he had received the last of his many personal, professional and civic honors, the Monmouth College''s Distinguished Service Award.
Boucher, who was 97, attended the Alumni Weekend awards ceremony in June 2007, and was represented at the podium by Bob Sulaski, one of his former players at Peoria's Woodruff High School shared the following:
"Monmouth College is behind many of the blessings in his life," said Sulaski, who noted that several individuals traveled from around the state to be with the "highly esteemed" Boucher on his special day.
That was also the case both times that Boucher hosted reunions of his former Woodruff players. The 2001 event drew more than 150 WHS football lettermen from 23 states, many saying they wouldn't have missed it for the world.
"I owe my success to the boys, and I want them to know I appreciate it," Boucher told the Peoria Journal-Star at the time. "I love them all."
Virgil Boucher knew a life spent learning was a life worth living, and devoted his days to making a difference to others. He was a remarkable man, intelligent and inspired, and so full of character and compassion. Virgil was a loving husband, brother, cousin and friend, but more than anything, he was a dedicated teacher, coach, and advocate, who made a difference to the lives he touched along the way.
After surviving a devastating tornado as a young boy that destroyed his school and nearly killed him, Virgil Boucher, born October 25, 1909, went on to graduate from Murphysboro High School in 1928. Virgil then boarded a train for Monmouth College, where he excelled as a student athlete.
The Hall-of-Famer was at home on the football field, helping the Fighting Scots to an undefeated season in 1931. In a 26-12 victory that season over North Central, teammate and fraternity brother, Leino "Moose" Corgnati sprang loose for a 72-yard score. Said Boucher, "I'll never forget that play because I did a brush block and left my assignment to lead Moose down the field. I took out the safety to finish the play off. That was my pride and joy."
The media took notice of Boucher's dominating play, with an account of another game that season stating that he was "smearing Coe's offensive plays before they even got started." Boucher earned first team all-star honors from both the Associated Press and United Press following the season. Monmouth was heralded as the only undefeated team in the state and was the champion of the Little 19 and Midwest conferences. From Monmouth, he earned Master of Arts degrees from both the University of Iowa and Bradley University.
After graduating from Monmouth, Boucher served as a coach in the tiny western Illinois communities of Seaton and Media. In 1942, he was asked to teach at the new Woodruff facility. Four years later, he assumed control of the football team, and by the mid-1950s, Boucher had built a powerhouse, which included an undefeated team in 1955. That squad, which outscored its foes 285-7, played in the midst of a six-year stretch that saw the Warriors go 49-6-5. Today, the practice football field at Woodruff is named in Boucher's honor.
In addition to his commitment to Woodruff High School, Virgil has been a valued contributor to the Monmouth College community since graduating in 1932. "Monmouth College is behind many of the blessings in his life," said Bob Sulaski, one of his former players at Peoria's Woodruff High.
Off the field, Boucher was a member of the of Theta Upsilon Omega fraternity, Zeta Beta chapter, which later merged with Sigma Phi Epsilon. He remained active with the SigEps until the time of his death, serving on their alumni board where he endowed two scholarships to promote the Balanced Man Ideal of Sigma Phi Epsilon for Monmouth freshmen and funding attendance for leadership conferences and development through Sigma Phi Epsilon National Headquarters for this chapter. Virgil further assisted the chapter each spring by funding a recognition dinner for SigEps recognizing their academic excellence and fraternal accomplishments.
"I grew up knowing Mr. Boucher as members of the same church in Peoria," said Bill Turner '93. "Our relationship magnified quickly once he learned that not only was I attending Monmouth, but I had also joined SigEp. Over the years, I have witnessed Virgil acquire and embrace an extended family both through the fraternity and the college community. He found particular enjoyment following the lives of his fellow Sig Eps, the accomplishments of the many Woodruff High School graduates he ushered to campus and the victories of the Scots football team. Virgil especially enjoyed the victories over Knox."
That giving spirit was on display throughout his life. Following his retirement as a teacher and coach, Boucher became so actively involved in the Heart Association, the Retired Teachers Association and Kiwanis that he received the Tom Connor Award, which is presented annually to Peoria's outstanding volunteer. He also was generous to his alma mater, as his six-figure gift helped created the attractive Boucher Plaza entrance to Bobby Woll Memorial Field.
On the evening of November 9, 1998, Matt Schaub, undergraduate president; Dick Johnston, chapter counselor; Tavis Moore, undergraduate; and alumnus Stephen Ehrhart traveled to Peoria for a visit with Brother Boucher. Following a wonderful dinner and sharing, Virgil presented a gift of $5,000 for the creation of the Boucher Balanced Man Scholarship Award, the second of two scholarships now in place at Illinois Gamma to advance the ideal of brotherhood. Virgil's request was, "The award shall be a supplement to the educational costs men may require to attend Monmouth College."
Boucher personally endowed a separate scholarship (noted to the right) to enable students from the former school district where Woodruff High School was located to attend Monmouth. When picking his own college back in 1928, he was similarly influenced by his high school math teacher and football coach, 1921 MC graduate J.O. Firth. Once he arrived on campus, football coach Herb Hart and mathematics professor Alice Winbigler were his mentors.
"I just felt that I wanted to pay back what I've received," said Boucher at the time. The plaza was named in honor of his son-in-law and daughter, the late Joseph and Judy Boucher Chamberlain.
Virgil contributions weren't always made up of grand gestures. He made a difference in the daily lives of countless young people over the years, through his long and dedicated teaching career. He made a difference at his church, always praising what he enjoyed, and offering suggestions on what could be improved.
Virgil Boucher's enthusium could be seen Friday nights in the stands of Woodruff's home football games, and on Saturday afternoons, he could be spotted on the North hill at the base of SigEp House overlooking Bobby Woll Memorial Field watching his Monmouth College Fighting Scots.
"I've always been thankful to Monmouth College," recalling his goal as a teenager his goal was "to get off the farm." Boucher added, "they took me as a pretty green country boy, and I learned a lot."
Virgil was a remarkable man, who lived a remarkable life, a life devoted to learning, to teaching, and to helping. Today his lessons, and his life, lives on in all who knew him. He left a legacy to many. Virgil was doing things behind the scenes which helped brothers who were experiencing financial difficulties' to aid them with their house bills to tuition payments.
When one remembers Virgil it is easy to better know the core principals of Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love of Sigma Phi Epsilon which Virgil exemplified on a daily basis in service to others. Illinois Gamma lost a loyal brother and gained a marvelous legacy to advance the chapter's operations and accord scholarships and leadership experiences for these young men. Virgil is with us always, along the sidelines of life. We are forever appreciative of his gifts of time, talents, and treasures.

It's official now: we will have a World Champion competing at the East Coast Windsurfing Festival Cape Cod on September 19-20! Kiri Thode, PWA Freestyle World Champion 2013 and currently ranked #2 in the PWA freestyle competition, just booked his flights.
The pro freestyle competition at the ECWF Cape Cod should be fantastic - top East Coast freestyler Mike Burns was recently spotted in Kalmus working on one-handed Burners and other crazy freestyle tricks, and will do his best to add Kiri to the list of PWA freestylers that he has beaten in competition. We are also expecting top level PWA freestyler Phil Soltysiak again at the event; at the recent competition in Fuerteventura, Phil and Kiri competed in a very close heat that Kiri won (Kiri finished the event in 2nd place, Phil was 7th).
We are very exited to get the chance to see the inventor of freestyle moves like the Kono and the Kabikuchi on Cape Cod. Here's an movie of a Kiri Kono:
So mark your calendars, and join us at the ECWF Cape Cod on September 19-20 at Kalmus! As much as we love to see Kiri and Phil compete, this is primarily an amateur event, open to windsurfers at all levels. We will have fun races and an amateur freestyle competition, and a couple of new ideas to make racing more fun for all. On the 20th, we will have a raffle for all competitors where we give away many fantastic items from our sponsors, which include some amazing items like a sail, a winter wetsuit, a free ABK windsurf camp, and much more!
Many thanks to all the windsurfers who have helped to make this possible by donating! We have raised almost $1,000 in less than two weeks, making this possible. We are still looking for additional donations to reach our fundraising goal of $1,500 - every donation helps, and shows support for windsurfing and one of the really outstanding windsurfers from Bonaire.

Communicating with someone with Alzheimer's disease who has language difficulties, requires lots of patience, understanding, skill and creativity. One of the keys in communicating effectively is eliminating background noise such as TV or radio or other distractions. Sometimes this is not possible, but it might be possible to move to a less distracting area before you start talking. It is always a good start to get the person's attention by using eye contact, therefore having a conversation when you are in another room will not get favorable results.
Here are a few other points to consider:
- speak slowly and clearly
- pay attention to see if they understood you before going on
- repeat important information, but keep it simple
- show and talk, give a visual clue
- allow time for them to respond
Be aware of your body language as well as tone of voice and facial expressions. It is easier on everyone when you can join the Alzheimer patient in their reality rather than argue with them. The story of Rose is a good example. Rose was a very sweet lady but at dinner time she often became upset because she thought she had to sing later and she couldn't remember the music. The staff often told her she didn't have to sing, but Rose still couldn't let it go until one day they told her they already booked someone else to perform. That creative response calmed Rose down. We learned later that Rose was an accomplished soloist in her day and often performed for the troops during the war.
The quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease depends largely on the interactions with others who care for them. Understanding how to deal with communication issues helps to lessen the frustration for everyone.

I can't open my pictures. Newer pics can be opened....
Over the last several months have referred many Twainers to this site from my Facebook Page

Sinker and Haulnazz check it out.
I think if this site gets back up and running between the two, a wealth of information won't be lost.
Some of my favorite threads are from user7483.
Well damn. Seems there was an issue with the site conversion. I have all the images still, so I'll have to figure out how to get them restored.

Statistics for the midterm
Overall distribution of scores
This is a smooth histogram of raw exam scores. The area under an interval closely approximates the number of exams scoring in that interval. The larger the interval, the more accurate the approximation.
Scores per problem
The explanation of the "box and whiskers" plot is as follows: The top line reaches from the maximum grade down to the first quartile (that is, the top fourth of the class received grades in that range). The box shows the range from the first quartile down to the third; the middle half of the class got those grades. The bottom line stretches down to the minimum grade. The horizontal tick marks show the median, dividing the upper half from the lower half of the class. Finally, the central dot shows the mean, or average, grade on the problem.
I don't include zeroes in any of these statistics.

Another guest post Adrian Warnock asked me to write for his blog while he was taking a summer break:
This past weekend for me was spent in the hospital (nothing serious!) and the night I got out I found myself praying and kind of apologising to God for not having spent time with Him. My prayers came to a standstill as my mind churned and I thought back to the drama and fears of the last few days…hold on a second! I realised that a) there's grace and God totally understood that I was really ill and b) whenever I was about to undergo another scary test or have another needle stuck in me, I felt closer to God than I have in a while! In my desperation and fear I cried out to Him and He answered with His everfaithful peace and comfort – despite me not having had a 'quiet time' or studied that day. Something happens when we grow desperate and uncomfortable – God wraps Himself around us in a way that we perhaps don't feel everyday. I think that if we're in a position where we are extremely comfortable we lose our sense of desperation for God – which can hinder our faith in Him. What I mean is this: if you've come to a spiritual halt in your life where you're not feeling the presence of God as you want to, the reason could be that you need to 'get out of the boat'! Stick your neck out, take some risks! My husband and I live by the mindset that if we're not crying out to God, if we're getting complacent and too comfortable, something needs to change. Because at that stage the doors are wide open for pride to flood in and we think 'Hey, we can make it on our own' thus losing our sense of need for God. We as Christians should never want to be in a position where we think we don't need Him – we rely on Him for our every breath and if we suddenly decide that we don't, that can be a huge detour in our spiritual lives and the growth of our faith can be stunted. Whether you're too comfortable in your finances, your job, your relationships or even your church – that needs to change! If it's finances, give it away – bless someone anonymously, give extra to your church's gift day, finance an initiative for work with the poor. If it's your job – work as if you are working for God, ask God for fresh ideas and inspiration. In your relationships – start up a friendship with that new person in your small group, open up a bit more with your friends, share the gospel with your non Christian friends. In your church – serve more, give more, love and support more. Whatever is out of your comfort zone and forces you to cry out to God more, it's going to grow and expand upon your faith. The whole Bible is covered with testimonies of God surrounding his people in times of trouble when they cry out to Him – let us get uncomfortable and never lose our sense of desperation to see His face!

OL Shuffle
September 28 2002
By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise
THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included
Back around the beginning of June, when the 49ers formally released veteran guard Ray Brown, you may remember me saying that the 49ers would regret this decision. My reasoning, of course, was not that the team couldnt find a better offensive lineman to fill his spot - they had after all already signed Ron Stone by that point, but rather, my reasoning was, that the team didnt have any significant depth along the line, and could really use an extra lineman on their depth chart. Instead, the team chose to save some money, and go light along the offensive line, after all they had to offer their rookie place kicker a $330 000 bonus, plus the league minimum $225 000 to sit on the bench. So while I have certainly applauded some of the moves the 49ers organization has made this season, I certainly disagreed with the release of Brown, who incidentally is making about $750 000 this season with the Lions (though his salary cap figure is more like $450 000 due to a new NFL rule).
Sometimes, I hate being right, and when I heard that Dave Fiore would miss the entire season after being placed on the injured reserve, it was one of those times. Yes I have confidence in rookie Eric Heitmann who has done a nice job in pre-season and in spot duty so far during the regular season, but theres no doubt Id be more confident in Brown taking this spot. It should also be noted that Heitmann isnt healthy himself. He has a chronic lower back issue (which doesnt seem to bother him), and also has a minor bulging disc in his mid back, that occurred in the Bronco game.
The 49ers have a few other options to fill the void left by Fiore. They could ask the recovering Matt Willig to step in at guard, as opposed to his natural position at tackle, but the team would like to give Willig some more time to heal. They could also shift center Jeremy Newberry to guard, allowing Ben Lynch to step in at center. While this band-aid solution would provide the 49ers with the best combination of health and experience, it would also mean two players stepping into the line at new positions as opposed to just one.
Filling Dave Fiores roster spot is Craig Osika who was signed off the Chargers practice squad. Osika has played guard, center and tight end in the past, but will likely only see action on the field if the 49ers are desperate. He is behind Kyle Kosier on the depth chart.

I started at the mill in 1959 at the age of 15 as a Mill Clerks Runner. I would go around the mill with notices etc and remember how amazed I was at seeing so many people with fingers missing. This was mainly due to so much feeding up of the machines by hand, much different from today.
At that time there were 8 paper machines, a straw plant and iron foundry in operation.
I had visited the mill on a school visit when I was 14 years old and remember the machineman on PM12 saying that I would be wasting my time coming to work here, I suppose 47 years on he was right.
I started in production when I was just over 16 years old on PM17 as a Press Boy. Every Saturday night the machines would be washed out, and when they shut down lots of carpenters would appear as many areas of the machines were made of wood.
My best memory when I left was of all the blokes – lots of different characters and all the fun, and if I had the opportunity I would do my 47 years all over again.


text: The significance here depends on the other details of the dream, which should also be considered for an accurate interpretation. As a general guide: A new hat is a sign of good luck. A hat that was too small for you predicts a disappointment. A hat too large for you signifies an embarrassment. Tipping your hat or holding it in your hand forecasts a humiliation. Losing your hat or having it blow away indicates money trouble. An old, shabby or soiled hat portends business irritations. A silk top hat predicts a rise in status. A cotton hat is a caution against a calculating friend. An elaborate hat suggests social popularity.

I'm tired. I really need this resolved.. Baker Donelson is trying to "stretch it out" do I really have to keep ranting for another 5 weeks?
I think someone needs to put pressure on NISSAN to mediate.Thank you,Sharyn Bovat
Picture of my mom was Chief Stewardess for Transocean Airlines in the 50's. -My grandfather lived in Korea in the late 40's (38th Parallel) helped get her the gig. She hired & trained women to "spy" for America. She's a true hero.
FYI - I need healthcare starting January 1st. My child's father is mad that I did NOT tell him i did research for CIA operatives. , He will not let my daughter watch Fox News and is VERY angry that America got into some needless wars. We were married for over a decade. He's 49 and turning 50. He wants me out of his life.
All the wars are NOT my fault. ALL I did was low level research. Still he blames the Neocons. Sir, I was raised by Neocons. My dad was in Laos when I was conceived. Maybe my mom snuck away and met him in Southeast Asia or my biological father is the man that I was led to believe it was - Ed Daly the former owner of World Airways. He let me fly a "big jet" when I was 10, I had TOTAL control of the aircraft and got to sit in the "left" seat" - Donald Rumsfeld was on board too. Mr. Daly kept calling him "Ford's guy".... memories... It was during the World Pilots strike that the decision was made for me to go to boarding school. While my mom was in China on a "democracy" trip in November 1979 My dad was elected to represent the pilots for the UGLY strike. He's come home and yell at me saying he wish my mom had an abortion and I had the face of management. I was really upset - so sending me to boarding school to be the roommate of a girl from El Salvador whose family led death squads made "sense"....
Anyway former President Gerald Ford had tacos with me backstage of the RNC convention in 1992. He gave me advice. He told me to always know whose controlling the ball and to be a "team player"...
Also Oliver North told me to be "Loyal to my country and to whom I work for" he said this to me AFTER I told him to his face I did not respect what he did. To this day I'm grateful that Mr. North gave me that advice and I've been loyal to America.
Mr. Preston - Is America going to be loyal to it's citizen whose done nothing by speak up about a company that discriminates, took taxpayer money based on fraud, & a company that fuels our enemy. Nissan is on the IRAN watch list. Please talk to former CIA director Woosley- he's part of UANI a group that is trying to prevent war through sanctions.
Mr. Stephen Preston - I will be loyal to WHO I work for. Good News for the CIA - I'm available.
Is the agency ready for the TRUTH?

In other news I bought a new book cover. I have given in and put naked people on the front of my book. Looks like this:
I have no idea who these people are, but with any luck the cover now looks like it's probably not a physics text book or something wholly factual. It was either that or a banner on the front saying "Warning contains naked people."
I have also written a short story which will be included in a free anthology coming up. The short story does not contain naked people. Although there are a couple of guys wandering around in bathrobes and work boots, but only because it amused me. More news of that later.
And for now, here's a short video of Sam the Degu making a racket trying to destroy his cage.

David Mitchell, the award-winning author of Cloud Atlas, this morning turns to the "diabolical treble-strapped textual straitjacket" of Twitter for the first time to tell a new short story, The Right Sort.
Mitchell will unveil his tale, about a boy tripping on his mother's Valium pills, in Twitter's 140-character bursts for the next seven days. He follows in the footsteps of authors from Jennifer Egan to Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman, who have also experimented with the social media medium; there is even a Twitter fiction festival.
The novelist has set up a new Twitter account, @david_mitchell, for the story; his previous account has only previously been used to release information about his books and appearances. But Mitchell said that "once the idea that I could use Twitter as a storytelling medium bit me, it wouldn't leave me alone".
"The story is being narrated in the present tense by a boy tripping on his mother's Valium pills. He likes Valium because it reduces the bruising hurly-burly of the world into orderly, bite-sized 'pulses'. So the boy is essentially thinking and experiencing in Tweets," said Mitchell. "My hope is then that the rationale for deploying Twitter comes from inside the story, rather than it being imposed by me, from outside, as a gimmick. Usefully, the Valium also lets me walk that 'Turn of the Screw' tightrope between the fabulous and realism: maybe the supernatural events are really happening, or maybe they're just chemical phantasms."
Set in the same universe as his much-anticipated new novel The Bone Clocks, which opens in 1984, as a teenage runaway meets a strange woman who offers a small kindness in return for "asylum", The Right Sort will run to 280 tweets. Mitchell described writing fiction for Twitter as a "diabolical treble-strapped textual straitjacket".
First, said the writer who was shortlisted for the Booker for number9dream and Cloud Atlas, "obviously, you're limited to 140 characters". Secondly, the tweets are visually sequential, "and I think this alters how the text is read. Reading off a page is like looking down at a landscape from a balloon – your eye 'sees' the story as well as reads it, its layout, its paragraphs and structure, and 'remembers' what it just read because it's still there, on the page, simultaneously. If you want to, you can reread any line instantly; or linger; or speed up; or optically 'flinch'. Reading a series of tweets is more like looking through a narrow window from a train speeding through a landscape full of tunnels and bands of light and dark. Each tweet erases its predecessor."
And last, "narrative tweets have to be at least two things: one, a balanced entity with its own (may I say haiku-like?) rightness, and two, a 'propellent' or maybe a kind of plate-spinner of character development, or mood, or plot, or idea, or a combination. So it's just as well that I love the escapological challenges posed by diabolical treble-strapped textual straitjackets. I can't say it was easy, but then again Georges Perec wrote an entire novel without a single letter 'E'. Now that's a straitjacket."
The first tweet, which went out at 7am on Monday, was:
The Bone Clocks will be Mitchell's sixth novel. The author was chosen as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists in 2003, and his first novel, Ghostwritten, won the John Llewellyn Rhys prize. Starting from today, The Right Stuff will be revealed in 20-tweet bursts, at 7am and 5pm daily for the next seven days.

Twice in my life I have had the hairstyle known commonly as "dread locks." The first time my friend Becca helped me form them, and they were DISGUSTING. The wax that I used to help hold them insulated the hair, and they were greasy, and I am pretty sure they smelled of mildew. The second set was much better. I simply stopped washing my hair and helped form the natural tangles into locks, rolled them, and sometimes put stupid stuff like shells and beads into them. I have to admit . . . I think the second set looked pretty good. I actually had plans to let them grow for a very long time so that I could be one of those hip white folks with nice "dreads" that can look oh-so-sexy. Then my friend Brian, a pretty awesome, anti-racist white dude, got me thinking. He mentioned once that white people having "dread locks" might be kind of racist and that I should look into it. So I did . . .
I came across a pamphlet and some other readings that explained how incredibly problematic it can be for white people to wear their hair in this particular style (as well as in "mohawks"). Basically, here's the deal. "Dread locks" refer to a style of hair from the Afro-Caribbean tradition that is a direct form of resistance by black people to white supremacy and white standards of beauty. The term "dread locks" actually refers to how black folks in Caribbean nations were often referred to by the white slave owners as the "dread people" because they were seen as dreaded and lowly. The act of "locking" one's hair was in resistance to white standards of beauty and white oppression that told black people of the Caribbean that they were not beautiful and that they needed to wear their hair a certain way.
So why is it problematic for white people to wear their hair as "dread locks?" Well, to understand this, it is important that we understand the concept of cultural appropriation. I like the definition for appropriation that the pamphlet linked above uses. It defines appropriation as, "The act of making use of without any authority or right." The basic idea of cultural appropriation is when a group (usually the dominant group in society, though not always) takes aspects of another person's culture without permission and adopts it as part of its own, often without recognition to the roots and history of the cultural tradition in question.
White people are pro at cultural appropriation . . . You see, part of the problem with whiteness, the social construction of the white race in our society, is that it doesn't just hurt people of color. Tim Wise describes it well in his book White Like Me, and I shall paraphrase, when he basically says that in order to become white, people of Irish or Jewish or Italian or Czech (the list goes on and on) heritage who have light skin have to give up their culture in order to become white. To be white in the United States is essentially to be without ties and roots to one's culture of origin. After all, had the Irish not given up those ties, it is entirely possible that they would still be seen as less than white and thus deserving of a backseat on this societal bus.
Thus, we white folks have only nominal connection to our culture . . . maybe we eat the foods or occasionally celebrate a festival, but we are now culturally without a culture. We are culturally white. So . . . we steal other people's culture.
Examples of White Cultural Appropriation:
White use of Hip Hop music, culture, and language
It is the epitome of white privilege to not have to think about the historical or cultural significance of those things we want as our own. We simply take them. There are countless examples throughout history, and I was saddened to see an example on such a large scale on Saturday, August 28, 2010: Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, 47 years after Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech in that very location. It is the epitome of white privilege to be confronted with the fact that you have planned your conservative rally on the anniversary and in the same location as Dr. King's speech and to say, "I didn't know" but to consider it "providence." When prominent black leaders question this decision, you scoff at them.
Is Glenn Beck racist for hosting his rally on that day in that location? No . . . (though some of the other things he says make me wonder). However, what is racist is to simply shrug off the "coincidence" and call it "providence, " thus appropriating the significance of the date and location for you and your cause. It is counter-productive to speculate as to whether or not "Dr. King would be so proud" of those hosting the rally, and it is counter productive to claim that the rally is in no way racist because Dr. King's neice, Alveda King, or other conservative black leaders spoke at the rally. The point is that Beck's attitude and decision to host the rally parades his white privilege. The fact that all throughout the rally, people (and in most of the video I have seen, white people) were invoking Dr. King and who they think he was and what they think he stood for only proves the point. This rally, which is divorced from Dr. King's message of racial justice, was invoking the words, the message, even the actual event that means so much to so many people of color in this country in a deliberate act of cultural appropriation.
Thus, while the rally itself may not have been racist, the very act of holding the rally in the manner and location in which it was held reeks of white privilege and, by extension, racism. Just as I, at first, reacted so defensively to charges that my hair style stood for anything more than my own self expression, Beck, Palin, and the others at the rally insist . . . this rally is about nothing more than restoring honor to this country (read subtext: which has been dishonored by our socialist, foreign-born, Muslim, liberation theologist, white-people-hating, president and his followers, and we need to restore our country to what our founding fathers intended, founding fathers who were all white men, many of whom owned slaves and who founded this country as a male-and-white-supremacist aristocracy). Further, the rally represents a wider climate of fear that white people are displaying, whereby whites are afraid that before long, they will no longer be those in power, that they will no longer be the norm, that they no longer will set the cultural mores and traditions. Frankly, they "want their country back."
Hey Glenn . . . your privilege is showing.

Cialis: About Erectile Disfunction
Cialis is one of the best medications used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. While it works the same way as other medications do, it has some advantages. For example, many patients taking Cialis have less headaches (that are a normal side effect of all drugs for impotence). In addition, its effect starts more quickly, and lasts longer. Normally Cialis works for about 36 hours, and for many men even up to 48 hours.
It is not recommended to take this drug more often that once a day, but its prolonged effect makes this recommendation useless. Also, always follow your doctor's directions, or at least read what's written on the prescription label, and follow the instructions.
Common advice is to take Cialis with or without food, swallowing the whole tablet instead of splitting or breaking it. Always make sure the drug will not interact with other medicines you take. Particularly, you shouldn't take it along with Adcirca, or riociguat, a pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment.
As far as Cialis starts working really fast, take it just before having sex. There's no need to wait. The drug will make your penis firm as soon as any kind of natural sexual stimulation occurs. Usual Cialis dose is 10 mg. It may be decreased to 5 mg, for example, in older patients. Also, it may be decreased up to 20 mg if needed, depending on your personal response to the treatment.
Anyway, listen to your body, because any medication has potentially harmful side effects. In particular, stop having sex and ask for medical assistance if you feel strong dizziness or numbness, severe nausea, pain in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during a sexual intercourse. Also, contact your health care provider of your erection is painful or last too long (for more than 4 hours), or if you notice any signs of sudden vision loss.
In case of proper response of the body, the drug can help maintain erection for several hours, and will even work the next day. To choose the right dose, start with a 10 mg Cialis pill, that is great in most cases, and then adjust your personal dosage if needed.

People often start taking medications for erectile dysfunction without even trying toswitch to healthier lifestyle. In fact, healthy diet, exercise and avoiding stress may improve your sexual performance, too. Maybe that's a bit more complicated, and takes more time, but it is true.
Particularly, many studies show that diet can play an important role in ED treatment, especially in older people. According to science, the best foods for better sexual performance are fresh fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, and zinc. Among foods containing a lot of zinc there are oysters, crabs, and cashew nuts. All of these products affect testosterone levels in men, that impacts sexual function directly.
What testosterone level is considered to be too low for a man? About 300 ng/dL,while the upper limit is 1000-1200ng/dL.If you are worried about your "men's hormone", you may get tested. Or just check this list of most common signs of low testosterone:
- Insomnia, or any other sleeping problems
- Mood swings
- Weight gain
- Reduces libido
- Impotence or other kind of sexual dysfunction
Testosterone replacement therapy is considered controversial, and is prescribed rarely. The reason is it can relieve all the symptoms of low testosterone, but it can also increase the risk of heart attackor prostate cancer. So, most doctors prefer telling their patients about healthy lifestyle benefits. And as a treatment for erectile dysfunction special drugs, including Cialis, are usually prescribed.
Besides hormone levels, other medical condition may negatively affect your ability to achieve proper erection and have a good sex. One of them is your prostate health. How to deal with it? First of all, consider taking tests regularly (MRI screening for prostate cancer,and PSA screening).In addition, maintain a healthy weight, and try to quit smoking.
To be sure you don't have prostatitis, visit your doctor, and get tested. It may require urine and blood tests, in some cases computer tomography scans of the urinary tract and prostate, a sonogram, or post-prostatic massage. When the diagnosis is confirmed, a patient may be prescribed, for example, antibiotics, alpha blockers, or anti-inflammatory agents.
When such possible reasons of erectile dysfunction as prostate diseases, hormonal problems and unhealthy lifestyle are excluded, ask your doctor for further exams, or for Cialis prescription. The drug will make your sexual life amazing, anyway. While feeling satisfied and more confident, you will be able to continue the research: whether it's your age, your medical conditions, or just everyday stress that made your erections worse.

I've been planning my kids' birthday parties for years. But it wasn't until June when I decided to start this blog to share some of my ideas. I was a complete newbie to the blogging world, but I fortunate enough to come across some wonderful bloggers early on. I will always be grateful for Melanie at ewe hooo!, Kate of Kate Landers Events, and Jillian from Catch My Party for featuring my parties when I only had a handful of followers.
Recently, Kate showcased my Mad Science and Under Construction parties, along with dozens of other "extraordinary parties for children" from 2010 on her blog. And today, the Mad Science party was selected as one of Jillian's favorite parties of the year. Her site features so many amazing parties, I'm totally blown away to have even been considered. What an incredible way to end 2010!
End of 2010

BOSTON—Television repairmen around the GTA should be mighty busy this weekend.
They'll be fixing the sets busted on Friday night for fans of the Maple Leafs desperate to have them ready for Sunday night.
Yes, the Leafs did, rather improbably, extend their Stanley Cup playoff series against the Boston Bruins for at least one more match, winning Game 5 by a razor-thin 2-1 score.
A sixth game Sunday night at the Air Canada Centre is now necessary, and don't look now but they're filling up Maple Leaf Square already.
This could be a Mother's Day to remember for the long-suffering hockey fans of Toronto.
But my goodness, folks, while the Leafs earned the taut victory, in doing so they put Leaf Nation through an excruciating, frustrating, tortuous experience.
That's the playoffs, of course, something folks in southern Ontario are getting used to again after almost a decade of watching the Leafs unable to qualify for the tournament.
But, based on the measurements of social media alone, the grinding of teeth and screaming in utter frustration seemed to resonate across the U.S.-Canada border as the Leafs worked hard to earn a 2-0 lead over the opening 42 minutes of play then sat back and let the Bruins work them over like a punching bag for the final 18 minutes.
What the Leafs lacked in strategic smarts — why, why, WHY fall back instead of continuing to push forward? — they made up for in both sheer guts and goaltending, with goalie James Reimer making 43 saves to produce the victory.
Reimer, criticized for failing to come up with big stops as the Leafs lost Games 3 and 4 on home ice, refused to give up the equalizer, even making a game-saving blocker stop on Jaromir Jagr with 12 seconds left.
His leg-outstretched, groin-ripping save on Patrice Bergeron in the second period will make highlight reel after highlight reel, keeping the game scoreless until, just one minute and 51 seconds later, teammate Tyler Bozak scampered down the ice to score a short-handed goal on the seemingly unbeatable Tuukka Rask to break the deadlock.
Clarke MacArthur, a whipping boy all season for his erratic play and a healthy scratch in Games 2 and 3, extended that lead to 2-0 at 1:58 of the third period with a dazzling individual effort. MacArthur picked off an errant Boston outlet feed in the neutral zone, swept around a furiously back-pedalling Johnny Boychuk and worked a nifty backhand move.
And then, the Leafs went into reverse, giving their fans 18 minutes of indigestion and creating the TV repair bills this weekend.
Part of it was exhaustion. Part of it was the collective indecision of a hockey club that came into these playoffs with very little experience in the playoffs. Part of it was the desperation of a Bruins team that, having blown a 3-1 series lead as recently as 2010, seemed to snap awake and start trying energetically to at the very least tie the game and send it to overtime.
But part of it was also the Leafs making the group decision, or so it seemed, to stop skating and doing all the things that had earned them the two-goal lead in the first place. It was as though they started waiting for each other to make plays, and then stopped working together to make simple ones.
So it became a shooting gallery. Boychuk clanged one off the crossbar before six-foot-nine Zdeno Chara, armed with arguably the hardest shot in the sport, ripped a high wrist shot past Reimer with almost nine minutes to play.
At that point, the visitors seemed to start to play again and actually generated a few chances. But the puck kept returning to the Leaf zone, with speeding players dressed in black-and-gold running over those wearing white-and-blue, blocking every avenue to relieve pressure.
The Leafs hurled their bodies into shots, blocking them with sticks, gloves, rumps and any body part they could come up with. With less than four minutes to play, Bozak took a penalty for depositing a clearing pass into the stands, and surely it seemed the Leafs could hold the fort no longer.
But they did. Somehow. And then came that final save on Jagr, and Randy Carlyle's crew burst off the bench with a mixture of relief and elation.
Game 6. Still alive.
Yes, the Leafs remain alive, which is going to make the early exits of teams from Montreal and Vancouver seem even more outrageous to the already outraged fans in those cities. While it seemed nearly certain that Ottawa would remain the only Canadian team still alive after Friday night, the Leafs refused to let that be the case.
Reimer bounced back, yes, but so did captain Dion Phaneuf, who after being the goat in Game 4 delivered a simple, gritty effort, taking shift after shift in the dying moments when it appeared few Leafs had any energy left.
So now one day off, and then possibly two games in two days if the Leafs can force a seventh game.
What seemed unlikely now seems very possible.
