American life has become so full of ironies and paradoxes that you don't know whether to laugh or cry for our beloved country. Even a quick perusal of the morning paper can have you shaking you head, chuckling, or weeping—maybe all three.
I happily read that former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel seems to be doing all right as mayor of Chicago. That great city where four of my kids live deserves better than the hell-in-a handbasket trip it's been on for decades. Then I read that one of his successes is the reduction of shootings of high school students by 21 percent. Wow. Imagine that. A few days later it's Memorial Day and 12 people are shot to death in Chicago over the weekend.
Then I see that Asian-American students are taking on Harvard because they claim they are being discriminated against by the admissions process. A student from Asian ancestors must score 140 points more on the SAT than other students to be accepted at that esteemed institution. As a minority you're not supposed to be so smart?
Well, at least the 1 percent are still getting kicked in the teeth. The pundits and professors are really sticking it to them. I start to wonder who exactly the 1% consists of. The rich folks, right?
But wait. I read that the president of Yale, earning in excess of a million a year, just retired with an $8.4 million dollar farewell gift card. You look at your kids and grands and begin to understand why those student loan debts are so high. Then there are the Clintons, knocking off a half million to three-quarters a million a speech. Of course, as Bill said, they gotta pay their bills, you know.
And Hillary made a point of reminding us, multimillionaires or not, that she hasn't forgotten where she came from. Yeah, Park Ridge, a tony suburb of Chicago, where the kids may not grow up eating from a silver spoon but sure as heck don't dine with plastic forks either.
Despite all, I still happen to believe in American exceptionalism. Of all the nations that have ever existed, I believe, the United States of America is the best, flaws and all. We have a great democracy—if we can keep it (as Tocqueville said). Yes, we have poor people in this nation of ours, and we have to do something about creating for them the same opportunities that we and our parents have had. Most of the people of my generation are the offspring of people with limited education, whose parents were not long off the boat, and who worked hard so that their offspring could go to college and better ourselves.
The answer has to be opportunity, not welfare.
And that ties in with the "immigration problem." The problem there is that we seem to have forgotten that immigrants—our forebears—are the lifeblood of America. These are the people who get off the boat (or wade the Rio Grande) and go to work to make a better life, and in the process fire the furnace of American innovation and work ethic. As for the illegals from Mexico, most of them came here during a period when we were deliberately looking the other way because no one wanted the demanding jobs they were willing to take. Both the Democrats and the GOP are cynically seeking to exploit the situation to their own advantage. They should get off their well-padded duffs, seal the border, and move to regularize the presence of the "illegals," yes, even if it is called amnesty.
Maybe my complaint is that there is too much complaining going on. The shoe folks at Nike in Oregon honor the police in their community with a discount day, and African-American activists protest that Nike is being insensitive in light of the recent shootings of black men by cops. Oh, come on. What about the two cops murdered in New York? Or the two officers gunned down in Mississippi the other day?
Mr. and Mrs. Average go to work every day and can pretty sure they'll come home that night. Not so police officers. Even the most peaceful community can spit up violence, and enforcing the law in areas where lawlessness prevails (where even your school kids may not come home) makes for a combat zone atmosphere. Yes, power corrupts, and there are bad cops, just as there are bad lawyers, judges, doctors, teachers, politicians, clergymen, CEOs—anyone who has power. But overwhelmingly police officers are decent people who work hard day in and day out protecting our towns and neighborhoods.
Well, thank heavens, I'm not a complainer. If I were I might get upset over ISIS, Iran, the IRS, Wall Street crooks, thieving bankers, bigots on both the left and right, weak-kneed college students suffering from "triggers," and religious freedom.

Movie review by Neil Sadler
Starring: Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell, Minnie Driver, Juliette Lewis, Melissa Leo, Clea DuVall, Peter Gallagher, Owen Campbell
Director: Tony Goldwyn
The problem with CONVICTION isn't in its motive. It certainly isn't in the acting and the story is an engaging true-life tale. No, the problem with CONVICTION is that it doesn't know which story to tell and ends up telling so many the power of the tale is lost.
CONVICTION is the true story of Betty Ann and Kenny Waters, brother and sister with a less than perfect upbringing. When Kenny is sentenced to life for a murder he says he did not commit, Betty Ann resolves to prove his innocence even to the extent of becoming a lawyer herself, to fight his case for him and proving his innocence.
Jumping through time, we go back and see how these two neglected youngsters formed a bond, Kenny always involving his younger sister in his activities but also being fiercely loyal to her. When the story moves to and past the murder of which Kenny is accused, we lose a little of the relationship and it is here that I think the film goes off track.
Hilary Swank plays Betty Ann with a simplicity and determination that should make her a sympathetic lead, but too often we are given "pencil strokes" of her life, when we should be allowed to dig deeper. Here is a character we should easily admire and feel admiration and sympathy for, but too often we do not.
Minnie Driver is excellent and witty and adds a warmth to Hilary Swank's character that she fails to show in her other relationships. A husband is so thinly painted we barely notice him leaving. Brothers and sisters are mentioned but never seen.
As Kenny, Sam Rockwell is faultless, a mix of charm and danger. But herein lies one of the major problems with the film. Sam Rockwell is a fantastic actor who can make a minor role a memorable one. However, this story could either focus on Kenny in prison or Betty Ann outside. It struggles to manage both storylines and because Rockwell is a more charismatic screen presence than Swank here, her story gets overwhelmed in places.
Director Tony Goldwyn, probably best known as an actor, makes a good job for the most part. The film has a realistic sheen and a timeless quality to the costumes and sets, which works while the actors do not visibly age or change with the passing of the years. Although this works on one level, we lose the sense of time passing both inside and outside of prison.
CONVICTION is a moving story and as film, it is hard not to be moved by the strength of characters, but sadly it is not as affecting as the performances or the real life story that the characters deserve.

Network Hype in Hindsight
By Staff
As everyone digests the hype from last week's network presentations, B&C offers reminders from the 2004-05 season that were lauded by network executives last May but never lived up to expectations.
Dr. Vegas, CBS: Les Moonves hyped this Friday-night drama, which featured Rob Lowe as a Las Vegas doctor. "It's a traditional medical show during the day, and during the night, he sleeps with chorus girls and gambles. What could go wrong with that?" he said. A lot, it turned out. Afflicted by mediocre ratings, Dr. Vegas crapped out by November sweeps.Father of the Pride, NBC: "This is an adult comedy, much on the level of Shrek," NBC Universal Television Group President Jeff Zucker said. The animated Pride which cost a sky-high $2 million an episode, tumbled every week and was toast before Election Day. The Mountain, The WB: The teen drama—think Dawson's Creek in Aspen—looked promising, but viewers didn't make the trip. At The WB's upfront, then-CEO Jordan Levin said, "We believe there is nothing but upside by leading off Thursday night with a show as big and juicy as The Mountain." By January 2005, however, The Mountain had crumbled. Tru Calling, Fox: This thriller was paired with sexy soap The O.C. on Thursdays and waited for ratings sparks. "We think it will be as successful as when we paired Beverly Hills: 90210 with Melrose Place, " then-President of Entertainment Gail Berman said. Not quite. Tru Calling never got the right numbers. At least, The O.C. still rocks.

Hello all and welcome to the last leg of the Vol. 6 track reviews. One great thing with Chiptunes = WIN's yearly mainline Volumes: the overall quality is so high and consistent, you'll never feel like the compilation loses momentum at any point, even for the very last tracks. On the contrary. On this truly STELLAR Volume 6, some of my absolute favourites are actually part of the last ten! And I was lucky enough to review them. Let's dive in! "La main à la pâte"!
Immortan – '外太空电子游戏'
Not enough LSDJ artists dare to use this program in conjunction with other tools, be it chips or synths. As shown by Roboctopus' and Auxcide's brilliant tracks on this Volume, when done right it can really pay off. Immortan is a new face to me (one of the 19 first-timers on this volume) and boy am I happy to discover them. The track opens up with an airy piano-like motif that would fit right in a Zelda Fairy Fountain or Water Temple, and builds up with a smooth mid-tempo beat and additional layers of texture. By the halfway point of the track we're completely immersed in these beautiful harmonies and slow grooves, and that's where Immortan chooses to burn the curtain. They could have continued on this path and made a good track out of the original idea. But no. They made a GREAT track. After a surprising but very well-indroduced buildup, The drums double up into a frantic, almost DnB-like groove and a fat, supersaw bass drunkenly pounces around on the center stage for the rest of the track. Immortan made a daring gamble, put his money on the element of surprise, and brought it home with his catchy bass riff, which somehow complements the airy harmonies of the beginning really well. It shouldn't work. But it does. Deal with it.
WillRock – 'Into the Lion's Den'
This track can be described as a perfect hommage. It packs up all the ingredients of a great SNES-era JRPG boss theme, but is coherent enough in its own right to never fall into cliché territory. 'Into The Lion's Den' is laid out in several movements as if meant to follow boss fight phases. This track is extremely dense in only 3 minutes and a half. Starting with a definitely Uematsu-esque intro, it follows up with daring yet expertly executed rhythmic and harmonic shifts. Sound design is super crisp and detailed throughout, reminiscing of the best 2a03 tracks out there, even though it was made in Reason. The borrowed idiosyncrasies of the NES chip are very thoroughly replicated, and even the bass sounds like it's been downsampled to DPCM quality, reminding the listener of an all-time 2a03 great: Hertzdevil's 'Extends Levant'. Arrangement is masterful, solos show a lot of virtuosity and humanity in their execution. Overall, compositionnally, this track is a progtastic and very impressive display of true musical skill.
Jredd & Groovemaster303 – 'Cyborg Enforcers'
The most iconic duo™ in Genesis Chiptune takes a break from haunting the BotB leaderboards and drops a very aptly-named track on this decidedly stellar Volume 6. The liner notes specify that this track would probably not play back properly on a Sega Genesis, given how liberally these 16-bit Brigands break the chip's limitation on their tracker. The track is anchored down with a heavy hip-hop beat and a simple but effective chord progression, allowing its hyper-slick sound design and arrangement to shine through. No wonder the console can't keep up. Jredd and Groovemaster303 really went all out and squeezed every last drop of what Genesis FM is capable of delivering. Synths glimmer and shine, leads sweep away cheekily, amidst a crapton of impressive warbly FX. This chaotic yet coherent ensemble sets up a very believable atmosphere throughout track and really drags the listener in.
Ojiichan – 'John Lemon (All you need is polka)'
Ojii returns from his past ghostly misdeeds on Vol. 5 with another high-energy "Polka-core" track. This song might sound super goofy at first, but attentive ears won't fail to notice a very careful and detailed approach to composition. The lead is simple and very catchy, but full of little winks and tasteful ornaments. Slower bridges right in the middle of the song let us enjoy rich and textured arpeggios, showcasing Ojii's harmony skills, before returning to the main theme. Striking a great balance between mischievous and ominous, Ojii delivers a track that is more delicate and mature than his already brilliant sub on Vol. 5, without ever going away from his signature playful and insolent style.
Aquellex – 'Tachyon Beam Cannon'
Oh my god. I have to review this. It's so rich and dense I don't know where to begin and I'm very afraid not to do it justice. After blowing everyone's minds with his Vol. 5 track 'Wanderflux', Aquellex returns as a seasoned veteran. He's honed his skills, he's perfected his craft, and it really shows. Making breakcore is no easy task as is. But making GOOD breakcore that's both super chaotic, accessible and rich as this, on ONE gameboy no less, is really, really impressive. 'Tachyon Beam Cannon' hits very hard, and ripples in every direction, as can be expected of an Aquellex track. But it is a very controlled and beautiful form of chaos this time. Imagine a masterful pyrotechnic show going atomic. The recurring chord progression and melodies are odd, surprising and enticing, yet very easy to follow, allowing Aquellex to lead you through a galleries of glowing kaleidoscopic gems at lightning speed. Cherry on this highly radioactive but DELICIOUS cake: you can check the liner notes to get a download code for his LSDJ project file.
Bubblegum Octopus – 'Tree Cutter'
This track really shows how important the track order is in a 50+ song compilation, and how good Kubbi is at this job. Following up the dizzying speed of Aquellex's track is not something everyone can do. Leave it to 'Tree Cutter's' raging bass riff though. More like Chainsaw Massacre realy. It's a perfect fit. The beginning of this track harkens back to the golden days of hair metal, with a hefty ladleful of FM synths and organs thrown on top. Metal and FM synths? This track literally screams "COME AT ME BRO". It would feel right at home in the attract mode of a Neo Geo cab caught on fire, running beat-em-alls or VS fight games. The fat, slow chords in the middle of the track complement the zig-zaggy lead of the faster main theme, with its unrelenting assault of slap bass drilled into your skull.
Man, if this track is ever played live by a band, the bassist will need to wear hard-shell protection on their thumb and chug down a gallon or two of Redbull. I'd love to see that. Brandon slap it out!
Brick BRKer – 'Sequence BRK'
In this track, Brick BRKer chooses a more minimalistic approach to LSDJ than what the tech-heavyweights usually deliver, and it's very refreshing. Deliberately utilizing the Gameboy's idiosyncrasies rather than going all out with shiny, larger-than-life design, Brick BRKer puts together a melancholic and very sincere track. Lancinant leads, resonant drums and the signature LSDJ stock sample 'CHK DIS OUT' all form the words of a delicate love letter to the traditional chiptune sound. The composition and arrangement really let every detail, raspy or soft, seep through. The listener is faced with a paradox of apparent imperfections, assembled together into this beautiful song, like a diamond in the rough.
Producer Snafu – 'Hyper Focus'
Once again, Kubbi has spotted two tracks that transition perfectly together. Brick BRKer's pleading pulse leads give way to a timid arpeggio in the beginning of this new track, which quickly gains speed. The intro sound design is just as idiosyncratic as in the previous track, and its minor-heavy harmonic march reminds of a prelude straight out of Bach's well-tempered clavier. Soft pulses and baroque arpeggios? Producer Snafu is having none of that for too long. Spicing up the intro, the noise drums get gradually more and more frantic, finally leading to the TRUE FINAL FORM of the track. Grandiloquent jungle, gabber and breakcore beats then take the center stage and showcase the amazing sampling power of the Gameboy. Snafu uses home-made sample kits to great effect: warped beyond recognition, chopped and screwed, granularized into gnarly basses and bent out of shape with the strength and precision of a master blacksmith. Amen (break) to that.
Freeo – 'Happy Kill Lucky'
From the get go, this track means beeswax. One of the hardest-hitting kicks I've ever heard in chip, loud pulse bleeps with zero volume decay and a gritty, dirty bass design. Could it be another one of these LSDJ ear-splitting EDM bangerz? Aw hell no. After just a few seconds of 120bpm intro, the tempo actually doubles up to about 240 (yes) and the other instruments combine to form the most unlikely of musical Megazords : an exhilarating, happy, cali-punk bomb track. Erupting with childlike joy and insolence, Freeo grabs you by the collar and throws you into the mosh pit. Picture an early Blink-182 concert, but with only the fastest songs, and absolutely no pause. The onslaught of Kick'n'snare and frantic riffing doesn't let up for even one second until the very last moments. Chug down some of your favourite go-go juice and buckle up because this comp isn't done with you just yet.
Kommisar – 'Turkey Turkey'
Who better to follow up Freeo's hyperventilating frenzy than our trusty Acadian LSDJ Solo-master Kommisar? This artists is well-known in the Chip scene for his high-speed, high-energy, high-everything tracks and signature dizzying solos. The track starts off the track with a heavy dose of swing. Basses and leads are welded together and detuned to form a loud pillar of sound that feels as solid as it is shaky. Fast wub swirls come and go, adding even more texture and playfulness to the straightforward base of the song. After the first motif is introduced, the lead splits in two for a catchy twin lead chorus that does a great job of establishing a strong structure. And right after this, Kommisar pushes off the starting blocks, the fucks he gives suddenly dipping into double digit negatives. It's time for solo city. Single lead, twin lead, bass solo, and of COURSE anime samples. Back to the chorus motif one more time, then it's time for a second round of solo porn. Detuned leads, bass growls, vreeps bleeps and sweeps. Kommisar pulls no punches and whips out every trick up his sleeve up until the very end. I can never not like this.
Lute and Key – 'Aftermath'
After the double onslaught brought by Freeo and Kommi, it's only fair that the listener should get a chance to rest, think back and get some well-deserved closure. Lute and Key is a new duo formed by Vol. 5 recidivist Pieces of Eight and his partner in crime. And boy do they steal the show. This track has to be one of the most interesting ChipWIN tracks ever included in a mainline Volume. We've all heard moody, slower jams pulled off masterfully, like Starscream, Shadrew or FAAS did, we've all heard Chip with guitar, or Chip with vocals. But not like this. Nothing comes close. No track is this sincere, this hearfelt, no track feels this complete or this rich. We are in front of a true masterpiece.
There is so much to say about this track. The way the pulse notes in the beginning perfectly complement the delicate guitar motif, the way string slide squeaks, and unquantized drums give it a compelling human and organic feel, while still retaining digital grit and lush texture. The way eight minutes fly by unnoticed. At the end of this track, I don't know if my heart craves more, or if I'm satisfied and relieved with a longing sense of closure. Listening to this track I feel like a traveller nearing the end of his journey, looking back on his adventure, feeling the experiences of several lifetimes swell in my chest, shared with friends and strangers alike. I see it all. Ache and relief, strength and vulnerability, sun and moon, air and earth.
I could go on for paragraphs and paragraphs describing in detail the wide range of emotion this track pulls out of me, movement after movement. But it's not my place to do so here, so I'll let you discover it all for yourself. Do however pay close attention to the last minute of the track, when you think all has ended and the last fireworks have eventually died down into the night, and let the soothing, warm vocal harmonies lead you back to a safe place.
AND THEN THERE'S FRIGGIN' HAUNTED HOUSE AGAIN BUT IT'S WORSE THAN BEFORE SOMEHOW GOD (pls actually never stop kthx)
I feel truly humbled to have carried the torch on this final lap of Volume 6 victory. The level of this compilation just keeps getting higher and higher, and the only thing I can say for now is, hit replay, and until next year. Congratulations everyone.

I have an ever-growing amount of lipsticks, so I thought it would be fitting to perhaps start a new monthly series on the blog. I came up with an idea to share every month a new favourite lipstick colour of the month. I've accumulated so many lipsticks that I tend to rotate. Some months I prefer a certain shade, the other depending on the season and my mood. Today I will be sharing my March Lipstick Colour Of The Month.
I have expressed in so many previous blog posts how much I love the LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss. You can read my full review about these beauties here. These were very popular amongst the South African Beauty Bloggers and have seemed to be forgotten. I still till this day use these every week and one shade I have rekindled my love for is the shade Timeless. This shade perfectly aligned itself with the Pantone colour of the year which is Ultra Violet. The shade Timeless is more of a pinky purple and not as purple as Ultra Violet.
I forgot how much I love the shade Timeless and have been wearing to death so far this month. I am usually not a fan of bold lip choices. Well mostly because I'm a chicken and usually stick to nude shades so that I don't have to keep wondering if this shade actually suits me. These are super affordable and can still be purchased at Dischem stores nationwide. I hope that LA Girl keeps these matte pigment glosses on their shelves and maybe just extend the colour range in South Africa. They have great staying power, but do be careful as they can be drying – so be sure to exfoliate those lips.

text: Chinese investor confidence in Australia has been rattled by political strains and bureaucratic rules, reports Perth Now (3 July 2018). A recent report from China international real estate portal Juwai.com showed that Chinese real estate investment in Australia was down from $15.4 billion in 2016 to $13.3 billion last year. Main factors include the ongoing politicial debate in Australia that has left Chinese investors more cautious, the belief that the Australian government is unsupportive of international investments from China, as well as foreign buyer tax increases. "Foreign buyers are responsible for the construction of four additional homes in Australia for every single residence that they purchase," Juwai.com CEO Carrie Law said. "Even so, Australian States and Territories have not been able to resist filling their coffers with revenue from foreign buyer stamp duties. Foreign buyers do not vote, and are an easy target for confiscatory policies."

What does it mean to commit yourself to your career, your craft and to your dreams. Definition: "to devote oneself unreservedly." So now the question is what is "unreservedly"? It is to put every single ounce of focus and intensity into making it happen. You see, if you don't give it all you've got, then you're just wasting your time. If you have limits on how far and how much you are willing to do, you probably are not 100% committed. That is why so many relationships fail. They don't really want it, not 100%. That is why SOME people never reach happiness, deep down inside, in a strange way, they really like being miserable.
Let me know what you think. leave a comment here and on my wall.

HOLLYWOOD — Screen Actors Guild prexy William Daniels, on the heels of blasting the national board's conduct, has declared the panel needs to reach a deal on the plan to shrink it from 107 to 62 seats.
"There is an agreement to be reached as to governance and all pressing matters of concern about the guild's future," Daniels said Thursday in a message to SAG members. "It is time to do it."
The board was unable on July 30 to agree to vote on the plan — which will boost Hollywood's share to 54% from the current 46% — so Daniels has scheduled a special meeting Aug. 16 specifically devoted to the much-debated issue. Daniels, who announced last month that he would not seek re-election, criticized the board at length during last week's meeting for its stalling tactics and unprofessional behavior.
Daniels said Thursday he has received hundreds of messages about the plan. "I have determined that there is so much other urgent business before the board that an additional meeting is necessary," he said. "Given the fervor around the matter of the governance plan, its impact on the operation of the guild and the lead time required to implement any new plan, I have determined that the most cost-effective course now is to address governance at the special meeting and attend to the other urgent matters in September."
But the issue remains a non-starter for many reps outside Hollywood, who complain the plan is not completed and is being rushed through without adequate consideration at a cost of $40,000 for the meeting.
Lack of urgency
"Nothing in the message speaks to me of urgency," said Gotham-based 4th VP Eileen Henry. "What I walk away with is that it does not address the important issues like wages and working conditions, runaway production, the agency agreement, our rising health care costs or the costs of last year's strike."
Board member and presidential candidate Eugene Boggs pointed out that the board had covered only 11 of 46 agenda items last week, including consideration of whether the national exec director is also SAG's CEO, and that items wind up being perpetually postponed. He contended Daniels has not taken enough responsibility for exerting control over the board.
"The key role of the president at a meeting is to move business forward," Boggs said. "Governance gridlock is preventing anything else of substance from getting done."
Backers of the plan, who point to the need to cut costs and make the board more manageable, are set to launch a referendum drive to take the matter directly to members.

Hello everyone! It's Jan here today sharing a layout featuring new dies from Lori Whitlock and a few from Tim Holtz.
My mother-in-law and I shared a love for gardening and every spring we would visit a few of the greenhouses together. I would always tease her about her love for white flowers, we have such a long snowy winter and the last thing anyone wants to see is more white. She loved colour but there was always room for more white blossoms. These white anemones were transferred from her garden, and every spring when they bloom I think of her.
I started off my layout with die-cutting a rectangle from my paper with the Tim Holtz Stitched Rectangle Thinlits die. To die-cut this I used the Sizzix Sandwich - Magnetic Platform, Cutting Pad, Paper, Thinlits die facing down, Cutting pad. I taped my die to my paper as I was cutting out the words pattern and I wanted it to be centered.
My background paper was stitched along the edge to compliment the stitched edge of the rectangle. The "today" was pop-dotted onto my background paper.
Next I die-cut my flowers using the Lori Whitlock Mix & Match Flowers Thinlits set from patterned paper. The Sizzix Sandwich used was the same as for the rectangle die.
The Tim Holtz Crosshatch Frameworks die was used for an extra embellishment. A piece of chipboard covered with patterned paper was used. The Sizzix Sandwich used was; Cutting Pad, Die facing up, chipboard, Cutting Pad. Once this was cut out, I snipped of a few bits to make it look uneven. I then applied embossing powder to random areas in a light pink.
The Lori Whitlock Perfect Labels Thinlits Set was used for my journaling labels. These were also layered and some pop-dotted.
The layered flowers were finished off with the edges inked and adhesive backed stones in the middle. The Crosshatch die-cut was also inked along the edges.
There's 10 different flower dies in this set, so there's lots of different combinations to make.
A few flowers were hand cut from my patterned paper. There are 15 different pieces in the label set, so lots of different combinations here too. After everything was adhered to my page, I added in a few adhesive backed stones also.
Here's another look at my layout. Thanks so much to stopping by!

The Three Keys to Economic Development Success
Recently I had the opportunity to attend a Mississippi Economic Development Council (MEDC) seminar held at the Community Development Foundation's (CDF) new headquarters in Tupelo. During the Q & A session, David Rumbarger, President and CEO of the CDF, was asked what he considered to be the keys to success of CDF, which is considered one of the premiere economic development organizations in the United States.
Without hesitation, he answered, "Planning, goal-setting and execution."
We all seem to be looking for secrets to success in economic development, but it really comes down to what Rumbarger said. It reminds of what another business leader once told me about his company's "secret" to success. His version was "Plan – Do – Check – Adjust."
Another thing I could not help but notice at that meeting in the CDF boardroom was the prominent poster-sized item at the front of the room. It was a list of the CDF's goals for the current year. Stop and think about that. At every meeting the board members are reminded of the goals that they have set for the coming year.

Thursday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time (YEAR 2013)
Meditation on Today's Scripture:
Jesus frequently used the image of a harvest to convey the coming of God's reign on earth. The harvest is the fruition of labor and growth beginning with the sowing of seeds, then growth, and finally fruit for the harvest. When Jesus commissioned seventy of his disciples to go on mission, he gave them a vision of a great harvest for the kingdom of God like manner, the word of God is sown in the hearts of open men and women who hear his word and who accept it with trust and obedience. The harvest Jesus had in mind was not only the people of Israel, but all the peoples of the world. John the Evangelist tells us that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". When God gives us his word there comes with it the great accountability to respond. Indifference will not do. We are either for or against God in how we respond to his word. God gives us his word that we may have abundant life in him. He wills to work through and in each of us for his glory. God shares his word with us and he commissions us to speak it boldly and simply to others.
Word of the Day...
|Psalm 34:3Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
Prayer ...
Almighty and merciful God, please be pleased with our praise and our attempts to join others in bringing you glory. Forgive us for sins, slips, and slights. Empower us to be a living witness to your magnificent grace. In Infant Jesus' name we praise. Amen.

Need lugs...
Nice looking alloy wheel. You will need after market lugs. Factory ones won't fit, at least Rubicon ones. You need cone fit lugs. Holes on Mammoths are smaller.Helpful (1)
Hello, what is the weight of the Mammoth 8 17x9 wheel by itself? And is it hub or lug centric? Thanks...
This wheel weighs 24.7lbs and is hubcentric to the Wranglers.
If I want them to stick out further than the factory fenders, what does the offset have to be?
Hello! If you would like your wheel to stick further out from the car, you would want a higher negative offset.
Any chance that this wheel will be offered in a 17x8.5 with 12mm offset to fit the Jeep Wrangler JL Sport? I want to run 285/70R17 tires and don't want the wheel sticking out too far past the fender flares.
what is the offset please
The offset is -6mm (-0.2").
What tires are pictured in the product shots?
Pictured are Nitto Trail Grappler tires. At this time we do not have a listing of the size used.
Mammoth does offer some other center cap options which can be found under ourWheel & Tire Accessories tab.
If you have stock wheels, these would indeed help. In terms of width, these wheels can support as wide as a 12.5 inch wide tire, which is over an inch wider than the wheels you currently have. In terms of height, as long as your lift is at least 2.5 inches tall you should be good to go.
These wheels will allow you to mount 25x12.5x17 tires with no wheel spacers on a stock height or lifted Wrangler JK or JL
Hello and thank you for your question. Your stock size tires will fit on these wheels.
Without knowing the backspacing or wheels of your current set up it is hard to say. The Mammoth 8 Black Wheel have a 4.7" backspacing which is a dramatic difference from stock though.
Hello, for that size tire on a Wrangler JK we would recommend at least a leveling kit to be able to guarantee you wouldn't have any rubbing issues, you could go with this one for example: http://www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-leveling-kit-jk-j101068.html
Hello, yes, the wheels come with the center caps.
Hello, yes, replacement caps are available, and you can find them here: http://www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-8-center-cap-slvr-j103181.html
Hello, this wheel has a Backspacing of 4.7" (121 mm)
Hello, I am so sorry to hear you've had some trouble with the center caps on these wheels, if you wanted to give our team a call we would be more than happy to assist you.

Methodist Theological School in Ohio will offer two intensive week-long courses exploring theology, ecology, race and ethics. "A Deeper Shade of Green: Black Ecotheology and Ethics" will be taught July 23-27 by Christopher Carter, assistant professor of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego. "Field Theology: Water and Watersheds" will be taught July 30-Aug. 3 by Timothy Van Meter, associate professor in the Alford Chair of Christian Education and Youth Ministry and coordinator of ecological initiatives at MTSO.
Each class is worth three graduate credit hours and will meet 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday on the MTSO campus in greater Columbus. Those who are pursuing graduate degrees at other seminaries or divinity schools are welcome to register for one or both courses as visiting students. Students are advised to confer with their home institutions to verify that the credits can be transferred.
Tuition is $2,145 per course. A single $115 technology fee covers all Summer Term courses. On-campus housing is available for $28 per night. Each course may be audited for no credit for a $200 fee.
In "A Deeper Shade of Green," students will explore the intersection between black and womanist theological and ethical discourses and environmental justice literature. The course will begin with an exploration of environmental justice, paying particular attention to environmental injustice on black and brown bodies. It then moves to interpret black and womanist theologies and ethical discourse in light of eco-injustice, and ends with collective discernment on how people of faith might address these global issues.
"Field Theology: Water and Watersheds" will explore place, space, boundaries and possibilities through the reality and metaphors of water. The course will explore two primary watersheds of Ohio – Lake Erie and the Ohio River – as sources for life, commerce, political action, environmental degradation and communal renewal. It will offer both classroom engagement and field work. Students will need to be willing to get wet and muddy.
"We're excited to offer these two courses at a place with a unique commitment to the issues they address," said MTSO President Jay Rundell. "Students will be inspired by the passion and insight of Dr. Carter and Dr. Van Meter, not to mention our campus. They'll meet in classrooms powered by solar energy and cooled by geothermal wells. And outside, they'll find our 10-acre, certified organic Seminary Hill Farm in peak growing season. These will be two special weeks."
Methodist Theological School in Ohio provides theological education and leadership in pursuit of a just and sustainable world. In addition to the Master of Divinity degree, the school offers master's degrees in counseling, theological studies and practical theology, along with a Doctor of Ministry degree.

When someone said Education is what remains when you forget everything youve learned.Well, do the use of someone instead of giving the name of the one who cites this any difference to the theme or message in my article? To be honest, I do not even remember the name, I just remember what he said or even more importantly the message in his mind. And I personally doubt to remember or just delete things. As Shakespeare said, Whats in the name?
The same is the system of our education that strengthens us to remember the language of books and also use it in the exams or your grades must be affected. And this so-called graduation system is also a useless thing, as it only ends where the students only studied the syllabus that is necessary for exam quantification of the students interests. You must unnecessarily learn the same quota of the syllabus over and over again for the sake of the investigation. The examination is like vomiting first, you must put everything in mind and then vomit it in exams. When Einstein said, Why should I learn the things I can find in books when necessary.
They must understand that Newton only studied gravity when his university was closed and Einstein had to run from school to study what he liked. The education system also has no place for extracurricular activities, but often speaks of full personality development of children. The pressure of pressure has changed the students so dramatically that they accept themselves as failure if they can not pass the tests and thereby decide to commit suicide as a result of lost confidence.
I am a student in the science stream can say that the practical focus on the subject of physics has almost died. The current approach really can not surprise the students to wonder what science sees. The students really need to turn away to learn something but it has not been so. Students do not even quit spending their priceless time thinking about what they learn, helping them learn something new or make them a better person. They only start the rat as soon as the problem arises. And it has also been shown in the movie 3 IDIOTS with a good example because the principal has also proved unable to take care of what he would find.
The situation is really terrible. When every breath in your life, every second of your existence is a test conducted by nature, the education system has its own disaster. The system does not provide enough freedom of thought for the students, and some of the teachers also reduce the freedom to speak what you feel. A very good example of the non-beneficial system is unnecessary waste of electricity and water made by so-called literary people. It is in the syllabus that they are limited sources, we must keep them to survive man on earth but there is still no effect. Why? Did not they read? No, its because just reading a subject in the books does not create enough alarms in the mind of the student that he could take care of it.
Then the question arises, what do you need to do to increase the education standard? The answer is that we have to change the system revolutionarily. Teachers need to train so that they can make a student think practically instead of ratifying as a parrot to pass the tests. More experimental teaching needs to be done. And to create a certain impact on social or economic problems in the students way, educational trips can be planned where the consequences of such problems can be visualized.
But as someone said, To change something you have to be the change yourself. So, the students instead of hanging out and expecting something from the government or teacher can change their approach and invent a new approach to education. Instead of having a materialistic view of life, they can change their thinking style. Students can volunteer groups and attend the education. They can collect money and carry out experiments themselves. They can use the internet specifically and revolutionize the mindset by developing communities and fan clubs for innovative students, their selection criteria based on a new idea or innovation to promote new ways of thinking. In addition, they can conduct quizzes among groups that lead to a better understanding of the subject / topic.
Students just have to remember No effort will go in vain, no matter how small it is. Keep in mind that current approaches kill Newton and Einstein, who have helped us improvise our lifestyles. Some steps should be taken as soon as possible.

Look, Miami might not have cows roaming the streets and tractors parked outside its high-rises, but this city can still go country whenever it damn well pleases. If you need a country fix, Mama Tried recently launched a country music night, Satan's River, which goes down every Thursday. Tunes are provided by Danny Kokomo of Jacuzzi Boys and Nick County. All that's missing are you and your boots. 10 p.m. Thursday at Mama Tried Miami, 207 NE First St., Miami; mamatriedmia.com. Admission is free.
Your inner emo-loving, post-hardcore self is already halfway out the door to this one. Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday will soon share the Bayfront Park stage. Coheed plans to release a new album in October, and Taking Back Sunday now has seven albums under its belt, which is undoubtedly black and holding up the bandmates' skinny black jeans. 6:30 p.m. Friday at Bayfront Park Amphitheater, 301 N. Biscayne Blvd., Miami; livenation.com. Tickets cost $22.13 to $79.50.
It seems everything train-related around here is kinda struggling. The Brightline keeps running over pedestrians, and a depressing number of commuters choose to sit on I-95 rather than ride Amtrak. Well, there's another option, so don't be discouraged. This Amtrac is a DJ who hails from Kentucky and has collaborated with the likes of Sigur Rós, Duke Dumont, and Two Door Cinema Club. You'll definitely want to punch a ticket to this one. 10 p.m. Friday at Floyd, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; ticketfly.com. Tickets cost $10 to $20.

After dropping many mixtapes to great accolades, his first LP, Underground Underdog, was released in 2016.

I am going to try a quick way of making of lightly carbonated apple cider and I have a question about adding wine stabilizer at bottling time. With the juice and yeast I use, the cider clears after about a week and a half of fermentation in the original juice bottles I get the juice in at the grocery store. I plan to chill this when it clears and bottle it right away without adding sugar. I just want to capture the natural carbonation from the fermentation by chilling it and then siphoning it in plastic soda bottles. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know if the carbonation will be sufficient but I like just a small amount of carbonation so I think it's worth a try. My question is about how I stop fermentation.
I have read that I should add sodium bisulfite and postassium sorbate when bottling. I am wondering if this work with cider that hasn't aged, it has just fermented for about a week and a half.
On the other hand, sodium bisulfate is also used to kill natural yeasts (active or dormant) and other microorganisms before adding wine yeast in wine making so I think it should also kill any yeast that exists in the cider. So, I am wondering, do I really need to add potassium sorbate which acts by preventing refermentation? How can the yeast begin to referment if the sodium bisulfate has killed it? Is it recommended by the industry to just sell chemicals or is it really necessary?

Introducing the collagen diet.
Yes, you can eat your way to boost this vital skin protein.
Collagen, the essential skin protein. The invisible support structure keeping skin firm, plump and young from the inside-out and the outside-in. The protein whose decline is regulated like a timer. Every year, from our late twenties, skin will lose it at a rate of 1%* (1) since its production slows down. But this happens even faster if we over-eat foods that accelerate this natural 1% decline.

Specialist Firearms Lawyer
Whatever your problem in regards to your interest in firearms, I can assist you with it. Firearms ownership is not only a lifelong interest for many but a hobby, a connection with the outdoors, a social interaction with friends, family and associates through pistol clubs, rifle clubs, and hunting, and often a livelihood for dealers, importers and gunsmiths.
The revocation of a firearms licence and the removal of someones firearms can have a far reaching impact on their life. A criminal conviction for firearms can have a devastating effect on overseas travel and future career prospects.
I can assist with all matters from the initial contact with the police or customs, right the way through to dealing with any licencing issues, firearm returns, court hearings and appeals. I already have an in-depth knowledge of firearm identification, classification, operation, and licencing requirements. This means you do not need to explain the basics to me.
I am a criminal barrister and for the last 20 years I have dealt with the police on a daily basis throughout New Zealand. I have a reputation for fair dealing and practical negotiation to provide the best possible outcome for you.

The first place we've checked in after arriving to South Africa was Cape Point Villa and I am so glad we have picked this amazingly quiet place to start our trip with. After a long flight we needed some relaxation time, so we slept in all afternoon and in the morning got up ready for a full day of activities. I loved this guest house for it's panoramic views over the heels, the spacious rooms and for the comfy bed and sheets. They have also an interior garden where you can lay in the sun, by their pool and enjoy the chirping of birds. That is where we shot most of these pics and on the front porch that has a little pond with nice colourful fishes. I loved the tranquility this place in Scarborough gave me and the fact that is was super close to Boulders Beach, where I saw the lovely penguins.
To make my morning even more lovely, I chose to wear this incredibly well fitted dress from La Maison de Confiance with cherry print, since it is the season for them in Europe. They are actually my favourite fruit and I've wanted a cherry dress ever since I was little. Make sure to check all of the fruit print dresses from La Maison de Confiance that are super in for this summer. They have so many nice prints in the cutest cuts.
