Leviticus. 9:3a, & 15
"3a And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, 'Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering…" "15 Then he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, like the first one."
This has got to be one of the strangest creatures in this heavenly story. Here we see, once again, two completely different species incorporated into one: The head and upper body of a goat and the tail of a fish.
Capricorn is the opening scene of Act 2 in this three-act play. It introduces us to the Resurrection Life we receive from the One Who gave His life for all of us: Jesus!
The Goat.
This constellation is a picture of a goat with its head down, one leg tucked underneath as though injured. Its body culminating in the tail of a fish. These two creatures combined into one depict the dual nature of God's Great Champion, Who is both God and Man.
Goats in ancient Israel, as ordained by God, were sacrificed to atone for sins. The animal was carefully prepared according to God's instructions, and offered on the altar, reminding Him of what Jesus would do in the distant future. This part of the animal portrays Jesus' dying on the cross for us so that we might have eternal life with Him.
The foot is tucked under as though injured reminding us that Jesus was injured in saving all of us. He bruised His heel in crushing our enemy, the devil. But why does it end with the tail of a fish?
The Fish.
Whereas the goat was symbolic of Jesus' sacrifice, the fish is a symbol of the Church. It brings to mind the scriptures below:
Matthew 4:18-19 "And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Mankind is clearly being compared to fish here. He also said in John 3:5 the following: "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Fish are creatures that are born in water. They live in the sea, which is a typology of the nations of the world. Even in the Hebrew Language we see this fish symbolism. Their letter, "Nun: [ו]," means "Fish," and symbolizes the believer!
Ministry Of Reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 "Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation."
We are told to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and to reconcile the world to God. That is our primary task: The ministry of reconciliation, NOT JUDGMENT.
Think about it: When you go fishing, you don't grab your fish with your net, yell at it or berate it for being a bad fish, or point out that other fish that are better than it. No. You simply load your hook with the appropriate bait, cast it out into the water, reel it in when the fish takes the bait, scoop it up into your net, and toss it into the boat.
Ancient Names For The Sign.
The Hebrew name for this major constellation is "Gedi" which means "Kid" or "Cut off," as Isaiah 53:8b says: "For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken."
The name, "Capricorn," by which this sign is known today, came to us from the Romans. They called it, "Capricornus," which means "The Goat." The Arabian and Syrian peoples were also familiar with this star grouping. They called it "Gedi" like the Hebrews.
As usual, the Egyptians had a completely different take. They called it, "Hupenius, The Station of Bearing (or the Place of Birth)." This is not quite the meaning one would expect. But out of Jesus' death came life: He birthed the Church! It brings to mind the scripture in John 12:20:
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain."
Ancient Names Of The Stars.
Many ancient names of the stars have been preserved for us, though not all of the locations of these stars are known. The brightest star, located in the left horn, is called, "Al Gedi" (Arabic). It means, "The Kid or Goat." Another star for which we have a name is "Denib Al Gedi." Also an Arabic name, it means "The Lord, Judge, or Sacrifice Cometh, it is located in the tail of the fish. (See picture above.)
There are several other stars for which we have names. Though their positions are uncertain, their meanings are illuminating. They are all from the Arabian people: Al Dabih, The Sacrifice Slain; Al Dshabeh, The Slaying of the Sacrifice; MaAsad, The Slaying, The Destroying; and "Sa'ad al Naschira, The Record of the Cutting Off."
The message is clear: Jesus was cut off from the land of the living, dying a death we should have had to die. In dying, He gave birth to the greatest institution of all time: The Church.
Jesus is the first born among many brethren and,because of Him, we now have access to God. We will live and reign with Him for all eternity!

The age structure of populations is driven primarily, but not exclusively, by age-specific mortality rates (Figure 1). In general, juveniles have relatively low but highly variable survival; prime-aged adults have high and relatively constant survival; and aged, senesced adults have lower and variable survival. Age-specific mortality rates determine both how long individuals in a population can potentially live as well as the proportions of individuals surviving into each successive age class.
For example, if the natural mortality rate of all age classes in a population is 0.10, then on average 90% of individuals in a given age class will survive the year and be recruited into the following age class. The result of incremental mortality through years is that populations tend to show a 'pyramid-shaped' age structure, with fewer individuals in each successive age class (Figure 1). Numbers of
In age-class-structured populations, the effects of age structure on population dynamics arise primarily because of varying age-specific mortality rates and differences in the viability of any individual cohort. Age structure also strongly influences population dynamics through effects on fertility and fecundity rates, timing and length of breeding seasons, population-level productivity, total population-level mortality, and sensitivity to population regulating mechanisms such as density dependence. In turn, age structure can be strongly influenced by actions such as harvesting and environmental variations such as severe weather events, age-specific predation or parasitism, or presence of disease.
Age-class effects are most definitively seen in populations that show three or more distinct age classes, including juveniles, prime-aged adults, and senesced adults. Although effects of population age structure can be seen in populations with two or fewer distinct age classes, they are generally less pronounced than with multiple age classes. Moreover, each cohort may be independently influenced by environmental conditions experienced by their mothers (maternal effects) or
Figure 1 Age structure of a North American elk (Census elaphus) population showing 'pyramid-shaped' age structure and differential survival into older age classes based on an adult survival rate (Sadult) of 0.90 (closed square) and 0.80 (open square). Note that more individuals survive into older age classes as survival rates increase. Mean age of the population is 6.1 and 4.4 years old at Sadult = 0.90 and 0.80, respectively, showing that population age structure declines (becomes younger) as population mortality rates increase. In this simulated population, no individuals survive beyond age 15.
individuals in each successive age class is dependent upon (1) numbers in the previous age class the previous year, (2) age-specific survival, and (3) possibly emigration and immigration. However, if additional mortality such as additive hunting harvest was placed on adults in a population, mortality rates for each age class would increase and the proportion of individuals in each successive age class would be lower (Figure 1). Similarly, mortality factors that preferentially act on juveniles, such as predation, can result in cases where a population is primarily comprised of older adults (Figure 2). Therefore, under most conditions the age structure of a population, and the effects of that age structure on population dynamics, are driven mostly by sex- and age-specific mortality rates. Because changes in age structure thus affect the numbers of individuals that will die or be born each year, the age structure of a population can have a marked effect on year to year changes in population size.
Management of populations in most cases involves managing population productivity, or production and survival of juveniles, because productivity typically accounts for the majority of variation in annual rate of population increase. The more productive a population, the greater the potential return, regardless ofwhether that return is a sustainable harvest or a high rate of population increase for recovery of a rare species. The effects of age structure on population dynamics are most obviously manifest in population productivity through effects on individual fertility, fecundity, and probability of raising a juvenile to weaning or recruitment (see the next section). However, age structure can also influence many other components of population dynamics including sensitivity to density-dependent effects (see the section titled 'Effects on population regulation') and consequently population-habitat relationships, and numbers of individuals that die annually due to differing age-specific mortality rates (see the section titled 'Effects of age-specific mortality').

Liverpool have reportedly named their price for back-up defender Dejan Lovren with Roma and AC Milan linked with his services.
The form of Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez last season meant that Lovren was restricted to just 18 appearances in all competitions.
The Croatian wasn't in Liverpool's squad for their first match of the season as Jurgen Klopp's side thrashed Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield.
And now the Liverpool Echo claims that Roma and AC Milan 'registered their interest' in Lovren as both Serie A sides attempt to strengthen their defence.
The report adds that Liverpool 'would take €15million (£13.9m) plus bonuses taking the deal up to €20m for the centre-back'.
The transfer deadline is on August 23 in Italy, which gives Roma and Milan 11 days to wrap up a deal for Lovren.

From Avici to Axwell, to the likes of Henrik B to Ida Engberg, Stockholm is home to many a superb DJ, being one of Europe's Mecca's for aspiring DJ's and producers. With Stockholm's amazing community of emerging artists it was a treat to stumble across one very talented aspiring DJ Zoë Song as she introduced us to her new music.

…Sometimes listening to music that is different from your "own" genre can be rewarding
– Zoe Song
This is your first featured interview right? And it's amazing to have you! But tell us a bit about Zoe Song?
ZS: I'm from Stockholm, Sweden and I got into music pretty late in life. I'm 32 now and today, you can find many DJs and producers that are half my age. I don't see my age as an obstacle though. This business, just like any entertainment business, can be very age focused, but the music is what's important. I started playing the piano when I was 7 and music has always been a natural part of my life.
Were you born in Stockholm?
ZS: Yes, actually technically I was born in Korea. But I've lived in Sweden since I was a baby and I usually tell people that I was born in Sweden because it's how I feel, I mean I've been here since I was four months old. People tend to think I'm joking when I tell them I from Sweden. There's a common misconception that all Swedish people are blonde, and yes some of them are, but not everyone, haha.
You worked in Radio for a short while, what prompted the transition from radio to DJ?
ZS: I've always seen myself as a DJ, doing radio has just been a fun side project, it's a good complement to DJ-ing, to get the experience of doing radio, and you can reach out to so many more people all over the world via radio, than if you were to just DJ in your local club.
The life of a DJ on the road can be demanding, so what is the first track you listen to to get your day started off right?
ZS: Usually the first thing I do in the morning is to listen to my latest track, to check if the mix sounds right etc. When you wake up after a good night's sleep your ears are fresh and it's easy to pinpoint what could be improved. But I don't always just listen to my own stuff. I listen to both trance music and other genres as well. Sometimes listening to music that is different from your "own" genre can be rewarding as you get inspiration from a totally different source, which can lead to interesting results.

…I just sat down and started to play around with different sounds, and suddenly realized that 'Wow', this sounds pretty cool.
– Zoe Song
Though some would say that your forte is Progressive House music but what would you say your genre is?
ZS: I would say my genre is actually trance. I've been a lot into Progressive House music, but Trance feels more natural to me. As a DJ I mix both house, techno and trance. But as a producer and artist I focus mainly on trance these days. It's where my heart is.
Have you worked on any EDM music or with any EDM artists?
ZS: I've collaborated with several musicians and producers through different genres, but collaborations are not always easy and even though some collab's have turned out great, many other projects have been a total failure where we just didn't get along. Sometimes you have different ways of working and thinking, and it can be hard to find a golden middle way.
Isn't Stockholm quite a competitive place for DJ's?
ZS: Oh yes, indeed. Sweden, as you probably know, exports a lot of music, and we have some very talented musicians and producers from Sweden. Stockholm's rave culture is still alive and growing, and there are a lot of DJs, especially in the electronic dance music genre. But it can also be a good thing. Together we're like a family, a community, and we can help each other and support each other.
Where was your last gig?
ZS: In Stockholm, Sweden. I keep a low profile these days when it comes to gigs, because I'm focusing 100% on producing now, to gather a lot of own material to play on future gigs.
What Dj's have you supported?
The most significant would probably be Mark Sherry. He was booked for a club gig at a well-known venue in Stockholm called the Slaughterhouse, along with the techno hero Gary Beck, of whom, by the way, I am a big fan of too, and they needed someone to warm up. I and Jonas Hornblad, another Swedish Trance artist, was asked to warm up, and it was great fun. Psy Trance is fairly big in Stockholm at least, but I have a feeling that it's not as common that the people where I come from listen to Progressive Trance, so I don't get to play that genre very often here at the local clubs.
Tell us about your Be Quiet EP?
ZS: The main track, My Little Secret, came together by chance. That's how most of my songs come together. I just sat down and started to play around with different sounds, and suddenly realized that 'Wow', this sounds pretty cool, so I finished it and sent it to Bonzai, the legendary record label with a lot of sub-labels. I never thought I'd hear back from them, but they liked it. It's the type of track that you'd play mid set at a hot sweaty night club, not so much suited for big arena gigs, but perfect for intimate local club gigs.
What can we look forward to hearing on 'Be Quiet?
It's a mini EP, containing the main track I just mentioned, My Little Secret, and another track called Hush Hush. Hush Hush was kind of a B side project I worked on but never really finished. Then as I got My Little Secret finished it kind of struck me that those two tracks would fit good together on an EP, and then I finished it in zero time. My Little Secret is more energetic and direct, whereas Hush Hush is more low key and the kind of track you could play in the beginning of a set as well as in the middle or in the end of a set. It can fit everywhere. Kind of like your favorite dress – it goes with everything.

Today I'm excited to be sharing with you an idea for a simple zippered pouch perfect for holiday gift giving. Zip pouches are one of my all time favorite gifts to sew. They sew up quickly and you can easily personalize them to match the style of the recipient. To add a professional touch to this pouch I added a little leather trim to the corners.
To make it you'll need: 2 pieces of fabric cut to 12″ x 8″ for the pouch front and back
2 pieces of fabric cut to 12″ x 8″ for the pouch lining
2 pieces of shape flex interfacing cut to 12″ x 8″
2 pieces of fusible fleece cut to 12″ x 8″
1 piece of lightweight leather 3″ x 3″ (tip, cut your leather with a rotary cutter)
glue stick
binding clips
12″ zipper
leather needle for sewing machine
heavy duty thread
regular thread
Begin by pressing the shape flex to the wrong side of the pouch front and back pieces and the fusible fleece to the wrong side of the lining pieces. Cut the leather square in half along the diagonal. Apply a little bit of glue to the wrong sides of the leather pieces, glue to the pouch front and hold in place with binding clips.
(note I make a lot of these zip pouches, here it's shown in another fabric variation)
Insert the leather needle into your machine and stitch along the edge of the leather using the heavy duty thread. Do not back stitch.
Install a regular needle and thread in your sewing machine.
Now you will begin assembling your pouch. Pin the right side of the zipper to the right side of the pouch front piece. Pin the wrong side of the zipper to the right side of one of the lining pieces. Stitch using a zipper foot. Repeat for other side of the zipper.
Press the pouch pieces away from the zipper and top stitch along both sides of the zipper (this will keep the lining from getting caught in the zipper). Be careful not to press over the parts of the pouch with the leather.
Unzip the zipper. Pin the pouch lining right sides together and pouch front and back pieces are right sides together. Pin the zipper towards the lining pieces.
Stitch around the perimeter of the pouch leaving a 3″ opening in the bottom of the pouch to turn it right side out. Be sure to go slow and take special care when stitching over the parts of the pouch where the leather is.
Clip the corners and turn right side out. Stitch the opening in the lining closed.
I hope you enjoyed this post, if you'd like here are some other handmade gift ideas that you may like:

Most burrata—cream-filled fresh mozzarella—is made in just two places: Puglia and Southern California. But this addictive cheese is catching on. Chef Nancy Silverton combines it with leeks and breadcrumbs at her (and Mario Batali's) Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles. Look for burrata at Italian delis and cheese stores.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- Breadcrumbs:
- 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 16-ounce loaf country white bread, crusts trimmed, bread diced
- Vinaigrette:
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- Leeks:
- 8 medium leeks, each cut to 6-inch lengths, root ends trimmed
- 11/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 large lemon, cut into very thin rounds
- Chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 16 ounces burrata cheese or fresh waterpacked mozzarella cheese, sliced
- For breadcrumbs:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Toast mustard seeds in skillet over medium heat until beginning to darken and pop, about 5 minutes; transfer to bowl and cool. Grind seeds to powder in spice mill.
- Whisk whole grain mustard, wine, oil, and ground mustard seeds in medium bowl. Season mustard coating with salt and pepper. Toss bread pieces and coating in large bowl to coat evenly. Spread bread out on rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake bread pieces until dried and slightly colored, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool completely. Using potato masher, coarsely crush bread on sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm in 350°F oven 4 to 5 minutes before using.
- For vinaigrette:
- Place first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.
- For leeks:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450°F. Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water to remove any grit between layers; drain on paper towels. Arrange leeks, cut side down, in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour broth over; drizzle with oil. Top with thyme sprigs and lemon slices. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap, then foil.
- Bake leeks 35 minutes. Uncover; discard lemon. Bake leeks uncovered until very tender and browned, and liquid is almost evaporated, about 50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Serve or let stand up to 2 hours
- Arrange 2 leeks on each plate; sprinkle with vinaigrette, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Arrange cheese alongside.

Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo release postponed until 2016
Milestone Studios in Italy have announced that the release of the Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo title that was originally scheduled for October 2015 has been postponed until early 2016.
An October 2015 release would have put the title head to head with the release dates of Kylotonn Games WRC 5 and Codemasters DIRT Rally who are both rival rally games. However, the publisher claimed that this is not the main reason for the delay. Milestone Studios wants to use the extra development time to ensure the quality of the release product.
"Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO is the biggest project ever made by Milestone since now. We've decided to postpone it to focus more on the title development. This release date change will offer to the players a rally simulation that represents a higher quality on the video game experience", affirms Luisa Bixio, V.P. Milestone.
Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo is a new racing game that launches the player into the life of one of the most iconic figures in the history of Rally Racing: Sébastien Loeb. Besides the regular WRC stages, the game will also feature rallycross tracks and the famous Colorado Springs Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The Rally game will include both an online and offline gaming modes and a full career mode. Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo will feature around 300 Kilometers of tracks on 8 different rallies, more than 50 car models out of 20 car manufacturers. Drivers will have the chance to customize their cars. They will be able to choose among 20 different liveries, special materials to be applied on the body, Race Number Plate and Stickers.
Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo will be released somewhere in 2016 for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Bozeman Daily Chronicle article by Eric Dietrich Chronicle Staff Writer
Eric Dietrich can be reached at 406-582-2628 or firstname.lastname@example.com. He is on Twitter at @eidietrich.
Could a collection of tiny home-style units, clustered into a village with on-site social workers, help Bozeman get a handle on homelessness?
It's worth trying, say advocates with St. James Episcopal church and social service agency HRDC.
Connie Campbell-Pearson, a deacon with St. James, said she came up with the idea after seeing a story about a tiny homes project in Detroit last summer. Intrigued, she mentioned the idea to her congregation, heard some interest there and headed to the city planning office.
City planners, in turn, put her in touch with Montana State architecture professor Ralph Johnson, who, as it turned out, had a class of graduate students interested in looking at tiny homes.
Fast forward to this winter, and Johnson's students have drawn up a concept tailored to the needs of homeless Bozemanites — a modest 160 square feet, just enough space for a bed, toilet, shower and mini-fridge.
With a $10,000 price tag, each of the units could provide secure living space for a resident who'd otherwise be on the streets or bouncing in and out of Bozeman's HRDC-operated seasonal warming center.
The plan is to group the units into a sort of village, including communal space and room for an on-site manager. The village concept would also accommodate support services like mental health and addiction counseling.
The "housing first village," said HRDC housing director Sara Savage, would serve as transitional housing, a sort of intermediate step between the emergency housing provided by the warming shelter and permanent accommodations like a modest apartment.
Its occupants would be primarily longtime local residents who've struggled with housing, Savage said, folks who are currently warming center regulars.
The "housing first" model for addressing homelessness, a newer wave of thinking in social work, contends that providing the chronically homeless with housing is more cost-effective than traditional shelter models — or simply ignoring the issue until homeless people end up in emergency rooms or jails.
Even if providing housing is expensive, the reasoning goes, the societal costs of ER visits and jail stints add up, with an average chronically homeless person costing their community, by some estimates, as much as $40,000 a year in services.
When you're dealing with the day-to-day ordeal of living on the streets, the logic goes, it's often an insurmountable hurdle to get on top of mental health issues or substance abuse struggles. Instead, housing first advocates say, it's more practical to start by giving someone a place to live, then providing support as they work their way toward stability.
"This is a population we're struggling to serve effectively," Savage said. "Right now, folks aren't able to take that leap out of homelessness."
The housing first village effort is still looking for a location — they're hoping to find a piece of land that can be leased from the city for a nominal sum — but is otherwise gathering steam.
I-Ho's Korean Grill, run by Bozeman City Commissioner I-Ho Pomeroy, will hold a fundraiser Sunday, for example, donating its proceeds to the effort between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Campbell-Pearson is also reaching out to other parts of Bozeman's faith community, hoping to gather donations and support.
"I'm just saying to all of the churches, 'Put your money where your mouth is here,'" she said.
Additionally, Johnson's architecture students are continuing their work, sketching out a potential site plan, developing construction plans and working with the city on permitting. This summer, he said, they're hoping to build a demonstration unit on campus.
If all goes smoothly, Campbell-Pearson and Savage said, they could get something ready for occupants as soon as this fall.
"Our goal right now is to say 'Why not?'" Savage said. "Why not here? Why not this year?"

" The federal budget is on an unsustainable path, primarily because of the rising cost of health care and the aging of the U.S. population."– Congressional Budget Office March, 2010
When you visit the CBO's website that is the very first message to greet you in a very PROMINENT headline on their homepage! The chart below this dire warning is a graphical depiction of how sharply spending on Medicare and Medicaid escalates above spending on Social Security and on every other Federal expenditure combined will continue to rise for years to come.
The impact of the healthcare reform package signed into law by the President still has many unknowns. Like anything else it has its positives and negatives, supporters and detractors, but one thing is certain– we could not as a nation continue down this path to certain calamity.
– Aging Baby Boomers (the "Silver Tsunami") will spark an explosion of demand on healthcare and long term care services/spending
– The U.S. and world economy continues to confront challenges and a changing dynamic that will limit the ability of the U.S. government at the state and federal level to give everyone everything they need/want
– Pressure on the individual to be able to maintain a reasonable standard of living in retirement and senior care is going to increase as government dollars/programs become more difficult to access
The sweeping changes in the newly enacted health reform legislation came amidst much debate and political battle– but when you consider the demographic and economic realities over the next 10-20 years, what we have just witnessed is just the warm up. When serious reform efforts turn to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid we will see a battle that will make us look back on the last two years of economic and political upheaval as the "good old days".

No Thursday Thirteen this week.
As of Thursday at 4:30am, I'll be on my way to California!
… For Creation's Grand Slam SciFi Summit and a little fun in the sun.
I plan on bringing my laptop to upload photos from the convention each night, but who knows what the internet connection will be like. So, just to make sure the site doesn't die during the 10 days that I'm gone… I'll be setting articles on the different actors/actresses that will be at the con, to post on the days I can't get online.
So, who am I most looking forward to seeing?
Adrian Paul, of course!
Most known for his portrayl of the immortal Duncan MacLeod from the tv show Highlander.
Originally born in London, England, Adrian balanced his academic interests in literature and history with a physical prowess that found an outlet in soccer and dancing. His work as a choreographer and model took him throughout Europe, but a growing interest in acting eventually brought him to the United States. His first role as a Russian dancer on the ABC drama The Colbys (1986-87) preceded a stint in the off-Broadway play Bouncers, in which Adrian played 13 roles, switching back and forth between characters.
His first film role soon followed in Last Rites (1988) opposite Tom Berenger and Daphne Zuniga. Adrian did a tour of duty as military man John Kincaid in the second season of the sci-fi series War of the Worlds (1989-90), as well as three episodes in the popular 1991 NBC revival of Dark Shadows. After a string of other TV guest appearances and roles in films such as Love Potion No. 9 (1992) with Sandra Bullock, producers of the Highlander films found the perfect actor to play the role of Duncan MacLeod on the small screen.
Adrian was able to explore new territory as an actor, and his
determination to get the best out of himself and everyone around him was proven when he took the director's chair for the Season Four opener "Homeland," the only episode of the series filmed partly on location in Scotland. Three of the four episodes Adrian directed were voted in the top ten fan favorites and were included in the Best of Highlander DVD collection.
Since the final episode of the series aired in 1998, Adrian has remained busy with television and film work. He starred alongside Christopher Lambert in Highlander: Endgame (2000) and returned to television as the star and producer of Tracker (2001). Television guest appearances included Charmed and Relic Hunter; while film projects in recent years included The Breed, The Void, Code Hunter, Nemesis Game, Moscow Heat, Throttle and Tides of War.
In 2006 Adrian starred in three films: Highlander: The Source, for which he also served as Executive Producer; the independent movie Séance (winner of two festival awards), in which he portrayed a sadistic serial killer ghost; and Lost Colony, a sci-fi depiction of the true-life disappearance of the
first English colonists to land in North America, in which Adrian
played the colony's leader, Ananias Dare. All of these films are due to be released in 2007.
Adrian is also a founding member of Los Angeles-based acting
group Actors Collaborative (formerly Actors in Process), and
in April 2005 produced and starred in their stage production
of Things Just Change.
In addition to his acting work, Adrian has long been active in children's charities including his own, The PEACE Fund (Protect, Educate, and Aid Children Everywhere). The PEACE Fund has now partnered with other children's charities around the globe.

It was a battle of the Player-Managers at Windsor Park today as Linfield faced Glenavon, though Linfield's Warren Feeney ruined that narrative by not naming himself in the matchday squad (Gary Hamilton was a substitute for Glenavon), as Linfield began with the same team that scraped home against Warrenpoint Town seven days earlier.
With both teams kicking off as two of four level on points at the top of the league, this represented a great opportunity for 4th placed Linfield to try and blast through some of the traffic at the top of the league.
The game started with neither side really on top, but Glenavon looked more lively when on the attack.
Linfield had their moments as well though, but most of the attacks usually ended with a misplaced pass or an overhit cross.
Having had problems in front of goal all season so far, today was no different.
Infuriatingly, Sammy Morrow wasted two of the better chances, by waiting for the ball to go to him, instead of going to the ball, allowing Glenavon's defenders the opportunity to make a block or clearance.
It seemed so predictable, playing the ball out wide to get a cross in, Glenavon were able to defend them as they knew what was coming.
That said, there were some good crosses. The problem was, there was nobody in the box or running into the box, which turned them into bad crosses.
It seemed to sum up Linfield's attacking play. You just never thought they were going to score at any point today.
When it looked like going into half-time 0-0, Glenavon got the all important goal from Kevin Braniff, from a soft free-kick after a shot hit a defender's hand.
At half-time, Callacher and Morrow were replaced by Waterworth and Miller. Warren Feeney certainly wasn't waiting to see how the second-half panned out before making changes.
Linfield improved in the early moments of the second-half, but it was Glenavon who had the best opportunity when Andy McGrory fired wide from inside the penalty area, unmarked as well. It's the sort of chance teams miss when they lose 2-1. I was hoping it would be the case.
Glenavon being 1-0 up against Linfield hasn't been a new phenomenon in recent years, they've scored 1st in 5 of the last 7 meetings, but only got 1 point in all of them games. Today, you feared it would be different with this Glenavon team.
Kirk Millar was again Linfield's focal point, but like in the first-half, it just wasn't happening for Linfield. In truth, Linfield weren't making it happen for themselves.
Peter Thompson went down after a challenge by Alan Blayney soon after coming on. It looked like a penalty to me, the ref only gave a corner.
With 20 minutes to go, Linfield got a boost when Glenavon went down to ten men after Kirs Lindsay received a second yellow for a foul on Ivan Sproule.
After a succession of corners, you had a feeling if Linfield scored, they could push on and win the game. Just getting that 1st goal proved to be a problem.
As the game wore on, it was Glenavon on the counter-attack who looked most likely to score, showing Linfield how to use the ball, keeping hold of it in the final moments of the game and not giving Linfield a sniff.
After two successive Saturdays were results went in our favour, other scores went against Linfield today, with wins for Portadown, Ballymena and Crusaders.Though Linfield currently lie 6th, a win in their game in hand will see them go level at the top of the league (unless we win it 9-0, then we'll go top)
The situation isn't as bad as the doomsayers will make out, but a vast improvement is needed. One improvement, is the ratio of putting the ball in the back of the net
There was some good pieces of build-up play, but the end product was often missing.
The only time Linfield looked like scoring was when an Andrew Waterworth shot was saved by Alan Blayney, and it squeezed wide, when most around me thought it was going in.
It is important for Linfield that Waterworth returns to fitness and form.
Next up, is a trip to Ballinamallard, and a Monday night game at Crusaders, before a run of 12 out of 15 games at home, taking us up to the end of 2014. Better start turning Windsor Park into a fortress.
One of those games, against Institute, originally scheduled for 11th October, was postponed due to Northern Ireland playing at home that day (still think both games could have been played that day) has been arranged for Monday 13th October.
Very happy about this, as we're not a game behind at the stage of the season when the league table is still taking shape.
Plus, I was worried it would be played on the Tuesday, when i'm at a concert. George Ezra, since you ask.

Irish Cancer Society
Leitrim cancer sufferers offered new hair care treatment
Being told you have cancer is one of the hardest things any woman could ever have to hear, and for many of the 2,500 women diagnosed in Ireland every year, one of the toughest parts of their journey is losing their hair.
When hair begins to grow back after chemotherapy it is often delicate and damaged, and exposure to the cocktail of drugs and medicine vital to battle cancer can leave scalps sensitive and prone to react to harsh chemicals.
That's why the Irish Cancer Society recommends a vegetable or henna based hair colouring once treatment is complete and six months have elapsed. Surya Brasil Henna Creams are natural, vegan products packed full of amazing ingredients from the rainforest and free from chemical nasties.
Moisturising, protective ingredients infuse hair with an arsenal of plant botanicals from the Amazon and Indian jungles including Brazil nuts, aloe vera, and superfood acai berry extracts, without causing an itch or allergy, while henna can help create healthier scalp conditions to encourage hair regrowth and stronger shinier looking hair.
What's more, Surya Brasil Henna Creams are free from the chemical nasties that can cause delicate post-cancer skin to react, with no ammonia, peroxide, parabens, artificial fragrances or mineral oils anywhere in our products.
Surya Brasil Henna Creams are available from health stores and selected pharmacies, or online atwww.yourtonic.com priced €13.80 for cream €8.00 for powder.

If That's What It Takes [Warner Bros., 1982]
On his solo bid the El Lay soul man sounds like he should leave his therapist, not his group. He's feeling so hard the sense of strain is constant, as if ordinary romantic travails are driving him to the edge of existential patience. Yet despite it all not one of these common-sense homilies has the common wisdom of "This Is It" or "What a Fool Believes"--there's a smugness about his determination to go with the serially monogamous flow. And I sure hope the next single is "Love Lies" or "No Such Luck"--I'm sick of the rest already. C+

Hi Lovelies,
Welcome back! And welcome if you are new here 💕💕💕
|Dutch Health Store Haul
How are all of you, I hope You are all well?
Today I want to share my first impressions haul from The Dutch Health Store, part of my personal order, part PR. You might already seen this photograph on my IG here, and let me tell you - I am so glad there are people like Wilma who go to great lengths to make sure we can enjoy all these wonderful and truly natural brands from overseas! Living Libations is one of the first brands I laid my eyes on at the start of my green beauty journey - and I am kind of mad at myself for only trying them now! I feel like I wasted time and money elsewhere, when I could have those gorgeous and truly natural and organic products from the start. Well, I didn't know they were available from within Europe, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it :) As soon as I learned about Dutch Health Store via Instagram a couple of years back, I immediately placed an order for Living Libations products for over 125€ (even if I wasn't working and had no income back then, as you can imagine, this was kind of a strain for one income family) and I wasn't familiar with their products, not even samples - luckily this gamble paid of beautifully, I loved every single product I ordered. A couple of more orders followed, and Dutch Health Store (which goes by the name wilmadutchhealthstore on IG) quickly became one of my favourite EU online shops. I will link all the related posts at the end of this blog post, so if you are interested in what else they carry and my two cents on it, please feel free to check them all out. I really recommend this store - my own experience as a customer has been only the best - and Wilma and her team really take care of their customers, I can vouch for that! What happened with my first order was someone on their end wrote my address incorrectly, omitting crucial info (the address made no sense without it) and I noticed that in the confirmation email too late, the order has left their facilities by then. Guess what? Wilma personally followed the journey of my package throughout Europe, sending 27 emails with updates. Yes, you read that right, 27 updates - and at that point she had no idea I am a blogger, she was helping Renata as a private person - how amazing is that?? Now you can see why I am recommending her shop? Plus, you might get a fabulous treat with your order, you never know :)
(when I order from a new to me online stores I always order as a private person giving no clues I am a blogger to see how they treat their customers)
In no particular order there are the goodies - most of them will be reviewed separately, because I love sharing the love, but only if the products work, you know what I mean? By the way, I also have two books by Nadine Artemis, the amazing woman behind Living Libations - Holistic Dental Care & Renegade Beauty - both of them are mind blowing and yet I am not sure I've featured any of them on my social media? Be sure to let me know if You want my review on them, and I would be happy to do it for you.
💕 Living Libations Sea Buckthorn Best Skin Ever
This is what makes Living Libations famous - their collection of Best Skin Ever is very well know in the green beauty world and beyond it, and I am very happy to be testing it at the moment. I do have to admit I am a bit afraid, because of my facial dermatitis - dermatitis hates oils, and for the longest time ever I didn't want to admit this to myself - up until last year or so, I've been a die hard oil fan, and that was exactly what I was using as my facial moisturizer for years. I did see a dramatic improvement in my skin after I discontinued them, my dermatitis patch on my left cheek disappeared within days of doing so, so this oil product does scare me ever so slightly, even if it is for sensitive skin. We will see, but I do have high hopes for it! If this works out, I do have my eyes on Sandalwood and Chocolate Best Skin Evers :)
Organic Ingredients: Hippophae rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn), Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba), Cocos nucifera (Virgin Coconut) Oil, Calophyllum inophyllum (Tamanu) Oil, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender), Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vetiver), Citrus paradise (Grapefruit), and Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa).
💕 Living Libations Everybody Loves Sunshine With Zinc - Beach Balm
Now, if you follow me for at least a couple of months, you might know I have ordered Coola Sports Stick SPF product which was a real disappointment in a way that it was impossible to apply and dragged skin. So as soon as I saw that this product was in the package I crossed my fingers it would not be like that - and I have to say I didn't need to worry in the slightest! It is a dream to apply, rubs in very easily and although you do see a bit of white-cast from zinc oxide initially, it rubs in really quick and is pretty much undetectable once on. I really like the handy stick applicator, it is so easy and quick to apply on the go, and as you can guess, the ingredients are nothing short of truly natural and organic. Guess which stick out of the two I am repurchasing?
*Update - review here.
Ingredients: Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba), Cocos nucifera (Virgin Coconut) Oil, Theobroma cacao (Cacao Butter), Hippophae rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn), Zinc Oxide, Rubus idaeus (Raspberry Seed), Calophyllum inophyllum (Tamanu), Schisandra chinensis (Schizandra), Myrica pubescens (Laurel Wax), Helichrysum italicum (Immortelle), Daucus carota (Carrot Seed), Rosa damascena (Rose Otto), Eriocephalus punctualatus (Cape Chamomile), Boswellia carterii (Frankincense), Santalum album (Sandalwood), Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender), Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium), Thyme vulgaris linalool (Sweet Thyme), Curcuma longa (Turmeric), Calendula officinalis (Calendula), and Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa).
*A little side note: a SPF product with frankincense, sadalwood, turmeric, calendula and carrot seed oil? A you kidding me? I will be all over this, sunshine or no sunshine :)
💕 Living Libations Rose Quartz Roller (+ bamboo bag)
I wanted a rose quartz for forever, and now my wish came true! I was a bit afraid of ordering online from unfamiliar brand for the fear of getting a fake stone (yes, there are all kind of fake things, even fake stones) - but guess what, knowing it comes from Living Libations I can rest in peace it is a real thing. As soon as I posted my haul on Instagram, I immediately got a question whether or not this works - and truth to be told it is a tad bit too early for me to tell - I imagine it will take a couple of weeks of continous use to see any results? Even if it gives me no visible results on the skin, knowing it moves the lymph around is enough motivator for me. If you didn't know, lymphatic system is how your body takes the trash (read toxins) out, so it is important to keep it moving - it does not have a heart like blood system to keep it moving. So let's give it a little helping hand, shall we?
💕 Dew Dab
This is another product from Living Libations that is renowned worldwide. Now I get a chance to try it too - which really puts a smile on my face! See the ingredients and you will see why. It is un-diluted essential oil blend that is a powerhouse of healing stuff - and I hope it will work it's magic on my odd spots I am getting - I now have one in between of my eyebrows - perfect time to test the product, haha!
*Update - review here.
💕 Delizioso Skincare Vanilla Sorbet Body Cream
This smelt dreamy and was a pure joy to use. Yes, I want a full size of it. As well as Coconut Mango Body Butter, I really love the sound of that!
Ingredients: *Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, *Unrefined Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, *Unrefined Mangifera indica (Mango) Seed Butter, *Unrefined Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Shea Butter, *Prunus avium (Cherry) Kernel Oil, *Persea gratissima (Avocado) Oil , *Olea europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate (Natural Olive Oil Emulsifier), Tocopherol (Pure Vitamin E), *Kosher Certified Vanilla Flavor Oil (Naturally derived from plant/fruit material) and Natural Antioxidant Preservative (Antioxidant fruits, berries, and tea tree).
💕 Delizioso Orange Blossom Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner
This, on the other hand was the only thing that didn't work out for my fine hair, despite beautiful ingredients, so I won't be reviewing this separately. Maybe it would work for you if you have different type of hair? I think I need to try their Elderberry range as not to write off the brand too soon, and I have to say I am intrigued by their Orange Blossom Hair Elixir a lot.
Ingredients/ Shampoo:
*Aloe (Aloe) Barbadensis Leaf Juice, *Rose (Centifolia) Hydrosol, Foodgrade Xanthan Gum, Saponified Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, *Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Milk, Argania spinosa (Argan) Oil, Aleurites moluccana (Kukui) Nut Oil, *Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil) Nut Oil, *Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Seed Oil, *Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Mauritia flexuosa (Buriti) Fruit Oil, *Rosmarinus (Rosemary) Officinalis Leaf Extract, *Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) Extract, *Calendula officinalis (Flower) Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, *Citrus limonium (Lemon) Extract, *Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Extract, *Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Acer Saccharinum (Sugar Maple) Extract,, *Vaccinium myrtillus (Bilberry) Exract, Tocopherol (Rice derived non GMO Vitamin E), Jojoba Proteins, Citrus aurantium (Neroli) Essential Oil, Santalum album (Sandalwood) Essential Oil, Artemisia pallens (Davana) Essential Oil, *Clementine Essential Oil and Natural Antioxidant Preservative (from berries, tea tree, and extracts).
Here comes the minis:
Meine Base mineral salts
At first I was not too sure what to do with this mini, as it seemed way too small for a bath and I don't really do foot baths, so I had to do a little digging on some other ways to use it, and I found out I could do inhalation baths and/or make a solution to use it as my mouthwash. Perfection, that's how I will use it up then :)
Aloha Essences by Corinna Kuhnert
Sprays for aura & senses with handmade Hawai'ian flower essences - why, yes please, I would love to have that in my life!

CO2 Capture and Development of an Advanced Pilot-Scale Cryogenic Separation and Compression Unit
Kourosh E. Zanganeh, Ahmed Shafeen, Carlos Salvador
At present, the use of fossil fuels in the current energy mix represents the largest source of CO2 emissions, and important greenhouse gas, which is largely blamed for global warming. It is estimated that roughly 26 to 30 percent of all CO2 emissions due to human activities come from fossil fuels used for generating electricity. Moreover, a variety of other industrial processes such as oil refineries, fertiliser and cement plants also emit large amounts of CO2. The oppurtunity therefore exists for a significant reduction of CO2 from industrial processes and power plants through CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). Currently, there are three main pathways to capturing CO2 from fossil fuel energy conversion processes, namely, pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture, and oxy-fuel combustion with CO2 capture. Among these approaches, pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion take advantage of the fact that CO2 capture is further facilitated by increasing the concentration of CO2 in the flue gas stream, or by increasing the flue gas pressure, or both.
There are several different processes available for CO2 capture and compression from low-pressure flue gas streams rich in CO2. These processes vary from simple straight or once through low-temperature separation and compression to more comples processes involving some form of recycle and/or auto-refrigeration. Given the economic constraints often placed on the cost of CO2 capture, and based on energy demand of each process, the ultimate success of these processes hinges on further refining the existing ones or developing new processes that can lower the cost of CO2 capture. The CANMET Energy Technology Centre in Ottawa is currently pursuing a leading research and development programme in the field of near-zero emission fossil fuel technologies. This programme includes the development of next generation oxy-fuel combustion technologies, as well as the design and development of efficient CO2 capture and compression processes to recover CO2 from oxy-fuel and other fossil fuel energy conversion systems. In this paper, we present and discuss the technical challenges, development stages and commissioning of the CANMET's pilot-scale CO2 capture and compression unit (CO2CCU). This pilot-scale CO2 separation and compression unit provides an excellent test platform to study the impact of flue gas impurities on the CO2 capture process. This advanced gas separation system is first-of-a-kind pilot-scale unit that represents and integrated approach to oxy-fuel combustion of coal and other fossil fuels with CO2 capture for storage.

in a wilding field
so still, so dullfaded grass
almost mouse grey, no longer golden
as juniper tree losing its needles
while that oak at wood's edge
holds fast its dead leaves
against bare branches of bush
a twitch of ear and my eyes
identify a third deer grazing
watching me as i watch them
out of the corner of my left eye
a stranger and a dog walk
along valley trail towards me
or us, unaware of the three
decidedly autumn dull-coloured deer
and a white pickup truck behind
them on the walking and biking trail
two men inside the cab watch
me watching deer in a wilding field
trucks not allowed here, but poacher
eyes see deer within city limits
and their minds are already beyond
so still, so dulldusty bike
at rest between my legs, feet
planted firmly on the ground
quiet camera in knit-gloved hands
my poet mind sees our tableau
as the pickup truck encroaches
the three deer turn and run
between nearby trees as i mount
my bicycle and peddle away

Sakshi, Pwilao Basumatary in Boxing World Cup Finals
Harpal Singh Bedi
New Delhi: Youth world champion Sakshi (57kg) and India Open champion Pwilao Basumatary (64kg) recorded contrasting victories on their way to the finals at the Cologne Boxing World Cup in Germany on Friday.
However, two other Indians Pinki Rani (51kg) and Parveen (60kg) failed to cross the their semi-final hurdles and settled for a bronze each..
The 18-year-old Sakshi displayed her maturity and prowess by out punching Thailand's Tintabthai Preedakamon in a commanding 5-0 victory. Two times world youth champion faces 2018 Commonwealth Games silver medallist Michaela Walsh (Ireland) in the final.
Basumatary had a tough path to the summit clash in the 64kg. The Strandja Boxing Championships bronze medallist had to wage a grim battle see off the stiff challenge of Denmark's Aiaaja Ditte Frostholm in a split decision. The 26-year-old Indian will face China's Chengyu Yang in the final.
India has a chance of adding a third gold medal through Strandja Boxing gold medallist Maisnam, who has directly been placed in the final in 54kg due to a smaller draw. Maisnam will lock horns with Machai Bunyanut from Thailand in what would be her only bout of the tournament.
In 51kg, Pinki Rani's brilliant run came to an end at the hands of Ireland's 2018 Commonwealth Games silver medallist Carly McNaul, who blanked her 5-0. English pugilist Paige Murney was declared the winner over Parveen in 60kg.
India had sent a seven-member team to this prestigious European event this time following a healthy haul of six medals from the erstwhile Chemistry Cup held at Halle last year. Gaurav Solanki (52kg) and Mohammed Hussamuddin (56kg) were the only Indians to stand on the top podium in the last edition.
21 nations have taken part across 17 weight categories at this tournament and it will help elite boxers to hone their skills ahead of the World Championships to be held later this year.

You will not know this truth from TV news, Time magazine, or Ophrah. You won't discover it presented in commercials or movies.
To know what I mean, take a look at this 1957 little gem below from Billy Barnes. His title is interesting, "I Stayed Too Long At The Fair."
"I wanted the music to play on forever - have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever - have I stayed too long at the fair?
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair, but I couldn't find anybody to care.
The merry-go-round is beginning to slow now - have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted to live in a carnival city, with laughter and love everywhere.
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty, I wanted somebody to care.
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new, but now I've discovered them no longer blue.
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me - have I stayed too long at the fair?
There is nothing to win and no one to want me - have I stayed too long at the fair?"
Talk about life's disappointment, misery, and futility! Lots of people die and get buried after "staying too long at the fair." The wise man Solomon calls it "vanity of vanities." Nothing is more empty, nothing is more tragic.
I honestly cannot imagine how anyone can have purpose or heal amid the innate vanity, emptiness, and brokenness of this life apart from God. Everyone of us is going to die at some point. If an earthquake strikes you today, no matter your age, are you ready to die - knowing the life you live has meaning and you'll return to God? Or, have you been staying too long at the fleeting pleasures of the fair?
"Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, 'I have no delight in them' ..." (Ecclesiastes 12:1)

I've baked bread before and don't continue to bake bread because I'm a bread lover who has trouble stopping at one good roll. Tonight my daughter served a tossed salad with chicken with a roll on the side. I ate the salad first and then the roll.
Immediately I knew I had something other than your ordinary store-bought roll in my mouth and asked my daughter where did this come from. She said "From the freezer section at Wal-Mart."
"Okay. Don't bring these back into the house again unless it's a special occasion. I'm afraid I'll eat a whole bag."
I checked out Schubert's website:
In 1989, Sister Schubert was baking her now famous rolls in the kitchen of her home in Troy, Alabama, for her small catering business and for family and friends. That same year, she volunteered to donate some of her rolls to the holiday frozen food fair at her church, and received orders for 80 pans. The following year, Sister had to cut off orders at 200 pans, and in 1991, she filled orders for 300 pans. Patricia, dubbed "Sister" by a sibling, decided she might be on to something really big. She found two commercial ovens at a school surplus auction, borrowed a small chest freezer from her Mom, and bought a 30-quart commercial mixer. Her kitchen and sun porch became a mini-bakery and the dining room a packaging area. She hired three helpers and began with one account, Ingram's Curb Market in Troy, Alabama. After one month she was ready for new markets. (website)If you would like to try making your own bread, Sister Schubert's site has recipes. Now that's a smart woman. She knows that most people won't take the time to bake good bread if they can pick up the exceptional rolls from their grocer's freezer.
I said "most" people. Some folks really must do it themselves. And I can attest that baking bread well does give one a sense of accomplishment.
You can check this link to see if a store in your area carries Schubert baked goods.
