When I travel I spend a lot of time praying and listening to Christian radio.
When I travel I spend a lot of time praying and listening to Christian radio. Last week I heard a couple Christian radio shows. The first one was interviewing a man who was a Vietnam veteran, had been a hot spot fire fighter and had become a pastor of a large growing church in California. He became very ill and his skin was deteriorating on the inside and his organs were being affected. He shared how he was in the hospital near death but people all around the world were praying for him. He eventually recovered and was able to return to the pulpit. Even today he deals with a lot of sickness along with the pain associated with his illness.
The second broadcast interviewed a pastor who three years ago this Thanksgiving started having seizures. When they found the problem he had a mass in his brain. They operated but said he would not survive a year. Three years later he is doing well and they can find no signs of the tumor in his brain. He also had many people praying for him and looking to God for answers.
Later that afternoon I heard these words on the radio: "Do not tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big your God is". When I heard those words I thought wow. Whenever we come up against something we go to God and say "Please help me I have a troubled child." "Please help me I just lost a loved one." "Please help me I have a heart condition." "Please help me I have cancer." Please help me I lost my job." "Please help me I can't pay the rent." This list could continue for pages because we all have many things we take to God and tell Him how big the problem is. I am sure the men mentioned above did the very same thing when they were ill.
Next time grief comes your way say "my God is bigger than this grief". How about when you hear the bad diagnosis saying "my God is bigger than this diagnosis". This list could be as long as the one above because the God I serve is bigger than anything Satan can bring our way. When we deal with trials and struggles in life they do cause us to be weary and burdened, but if you give the problem to God He will give you rest. So today rest in the Lord and remember God is bigger than any problem.
In the last article, I wrote, I talked about our adopted son and daughter. Since then I have had inquiries about how that turned out. Occasionally we would hear from our daughter but we haven't in the last six years or so. She last told us she was moving and never sent an address. We sent cards to the old address until they started coming back. Our son was in and out of trouble over the years but would contact us periodically. The last three years we have had continual contact with him. This has changed his life. He has a fiancée and they have a two year old daughter. This past spring we traveled to California and saw our son for the first time in 14 years. We also met his fiancé and our granddaughter. God was bigger than what we were dealing with and God continues to work in the situation to transform lives. Just how big is your God? Is He big enough to overcome any obstacle Satan brings across your path?

The Minnesota High Tech Association honored 15 Minnesota organizations Wednesday evening for their innovation and technological breakthroughs at the 2013 Tekne Awards in Minneapolis.
Sponsored by the association, the annual awards celebrate Minnesota businesses and organizations that are improving lives, businesses and education. The association presented its 2013 Tekne Awards to the following recipients:
Advanced manufacturing: 3M Co.
The 3M LED advanced light is an innovative replacement light bulb that delivers the form and function of an incandescent bulb, but uses light guide technology to transform the light from a directional point source to a beautiful uniform source of light in a home or business. This innovative product required new manufacturing techniques, processes and significant collaboration across multiple disciplines within 3M. R&D, scale up and commercialization all happened simultaneously, with close cooperation between engineering, manufacturing and business development. The result is a revolutionary new design, built in New Ulm, Minnesota, which exemplifies 3M's corporate vision.
Agricultural technology: The Toro Co.
Humans are biased toward over-watering, whether at the home-lawn or professional level. Toro provides science-based information and tools to increase the efficiency of water use in agriculture and landscape maintenance. This product uses a rapid, sensor-based mapping system, Toro Precision Sense, to analyze variability in key sites across a landscape. Combined with in-situ soil moisture sensors (Toro Turf Guard) and sophisticated Toro irrigation-control systems, Precision Sense can achieve significant water savings through precision irrigation of large turf areas including golf courses and sports fields. Precision Sense defines site-specific irrigation-management zones, assigns individual sprinkler heads to those zones and pinpoints representative locations in each zone with in-situ soil moisture sensors that provide continuous feedback on soil moisture and salinity conditions.
Computer hardware and electronic devices: Honeywell
Honeywell built its legacy around the home thermostat, which was introduced in the late 1800s. The thermostat remains a core product that directly supports Honeywell's mission of making the world more energy efficient. In 2013, Honeywell introduced its most advanced thermostat ever, the Prestige IAQ. Smaller by 60 percent than the previous model, the Prestige IAQ is among the smallest, sleekest thermostats on the market. Its touch screen can be customized to any color to complement home decor, or change to purple and yellow during Vikings season. This thermostat uses internal intelligence and smart sensors to control a home's humidity and ventilation in addition to its temperature. Honeywell's Total Connect Comfort Services thermostat app allows the thermostat to be controlled remotely with a smart phone, tablet or any Web-connected device.

Patna: After supporting Ram Jethmalani and Yashwant Sinha`s demand of resignation by Nitin Gadkari as BJP chief, party leader Shatrughan Sinha Sunday sided with Jethmalani again on appointment of Ranjit Sinha as new CBI director, saying there was no ground to initiate disciplinary action against the lawyer-turned politician.
"Ranjit Sinha`s appointment as new CBI director has been done in a fair and transparent manner...Any controversy over the issue is baseless," Shatrughan Sinha, BJP Lok Sabha MP from Patna Sahib, said.
"The new CBI director has been chosen on the basis of recommendations of a committee appointed by the Supreme Court and CVC has put its seal of approval on it," Sinha said.
Reminded that party leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley have objected to Sinha`s appointment pending passage of a Lokpal bill, the actor-turned politician said he was not aware, but added that in his personal opinion "an important institution like CBI cannot be kept headless till passage of Lokpal bill whose fate hangs in balance".
"Moreover, we have already seen the fate of Lokpal in Rajya Sabha when RJD members tore the bill to prevent its approval", he said.
"Na Nau Man Tel Hoga, Na Radha Nachegi" (how long we can wait!), he said.
He repeated that Ranjit Sinha, a 1974 batch IPS officer of Bihar cadre, is senior, competent and well qualified to be appointed on a responsible post of CBI Director.
On indication that the BJP may take disciplinary action against Jethmalani over his outburst against the party, Shatrughan, who served as Union minister in the NDA government led by A B Vajpayee, said there was no ground for such an action.
"Though it is the prerogative of the party, I see no reason for initiating disciplinary action for speaking the truth," he said.
Reminded that his frank opinions on Gadkari and Sinha might invite the party`s wrath, Shatrughan, who is a star campaigner for the party, said, "I am mature and have grown senior in the party and has never violated `maryada` (limit). I have always spoken the truth for the betterment of the party and the nation."
On the choice of BJP`s prime ministerial candidate for 2014 general elections, he said, "There are several leaders like L K Advani, Yashwant Sinha, Ram Jethmalani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Narendra Modi, but Advaniji is the best for the post."
"Advaniji like Vajpayeeji stands as a silver lining in the dark cloud...Considering his vast experience, vision and good image he will be the best candidate for PM`s post," Shatrughan said.
He said even Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is also competent for the PM`s post. "But, the choice will be determined on the basis of numbers."
Shatrughan also said that in his view the party would gain if its leader is announced before 2014 general elections.

Tuberculous meningitis is an infection of the tissues covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
Alternative Names
Tubercular meningitis; TB meningitis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Tuberculous meningitis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The bacteria spread to the brain and spine from another site in the body.
Risk factors include a history of:
- Excessive
alcohol use Pulmonary tuberculosis
- Weakened immune system
Tuberculous meningitis is a very rare disorder in the U.S.
The symptoms usually begin gradually, and may include:
- Fever and chills
Mental status changes
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sensitivity to light (
- Severe headache
- Stiff neck (meningismus)
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
- Agitation
Bulging fontanellesin babies
- Decreased consciousness
- Poor feeding or irritability in children
- Unusual posture, with the head and neck arched backwards (
Signs and tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This will usually show:
- Fast heart rate
- Fever
- Mental status changes
- Stiff neck
A lumbar puncture ("
Other tests that may be done include:
Biopsyof the brain or meninges Blood culture Chest x-ray
- CSF examination for cell count, glucose, and protein
CT scan of the head
- Gram stain, other special stains, and
culture of CSF
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of CSF
- Skin test for tuberculosis (
- Other tests to look for tuberculosis
You will be given severalmedicines to fight the tuberculosis bacteria.Sometimes, treatment is started even if your doctor thinks you have the disease, but testing hasnt confirmed it yet.
Treatment usually lasts for at least 12 months.
Expectations (prognosis)
Tuberculous meningitis is life threatening if untreated. Long-term follow-up is needed to detect repeated infections (recurrences).

Many drivers wish to achieve a smooth, stylish and sexy appearance on their car. You can paint your car, give it leather seats, add tinted windows or you can change the interior with LED interior lights. Changing up the interior lights is a smart and inexpensive way to improve your car's appearance.
Here our customer sent us pictures of his installed LED interior lights in his 2006 Honda S2000. LED interior lights come in many colors but among all the colors blue offers a calm and cool attitude which many drivers wish to achieve. The DE3175 LED bulbs are plug-and-play so even car dummies won't have any trouble installing interior lights themselves.
Even from the outside, the blue LED lighting is remarkably bright and colorful. The DE3175 LED bulbs make the interior look blue, even the seats will appear to have a shade of blue. If you're not a fan of blue, there are other colors to choose from as well.
Compared to other investments, I have to say LED interior lights are definitely the smartest method to change the 2006 Honda S2000 without making a hole through your wallet. Let's face it, gas is already ridiculously expensive, not all of us can afford to pay for a paint job or change our seats.
From the outside and through the windshield, it's completely blue yet remains brighter than regular stock bulbs. Appealing and useful, the manufacturers weren't kidding when they were making these DE3175 LED bulbs.
LED interior lights are one of the smartest inventions for car enthusiasts just like sliced bread for sandwich lovers or bookmarks for bookworms. For those who wish to achieve this kind of appearance and attitude on their 2006 Honda S2000, LED interior lights are a good investment.

EPA awards additional $1.43 million in grants to CNMI for new drinking water tank
Release Date: 03/21/2007
Contact Information: Dean Higuchi, 808-541-2711, firstname.lastname@example.com
(03/21/07) HONOLULU – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is awarding an additional $1.43 million to an existing grant to the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation for building a one million gallon water storage tank in the Kanat Tabla area on Saipan.
The funding will also be used for installing transmission and distribution lines in the area and nearby communities.
"The funding will be put to good use by CUC to improve drinking water systems and ensure reliable supply of drinking water to the CNMI residents," said John McCarroll, manager of the EPA Pacific Southwest Region's Pacific Islands Office. "This new tank is part of a number of system improvements by CNMI that will eventually lead to 24-hour water on Saipan."
The additional $1.43 million was added to an existing EPA grant, for a total of $2.98 million. The original project was for a 100,000-gallon tank, but the larger tank was approved by the EPA when a nearby one million gallon water storage tank at the Northern Marianas College was found to be structurally unsound and in need of immediate repair and eventual replacement.
The project will provide additional pressure and more hours of water available per day to the nearby communities, and allow the NMC tank to be taken off-line and replaced. Construction will begin shortly and take a year to complete.

There has been a thread posted, trying to figure out if the membership would be in favor of dropping our treaty with Athens. Needless to say, I supported it before, and I certainly agree with it now. This is not an actual vote to drop the treaty. This is merely a feeler for how people feel. If this poll is successful, we will likely see a real motion to cancel it put forth.
Please read the discussion and cast your vote here.

Japanese stocks plunged over 6 percent to bear market territory and Asian shares slid to nine-month lows on Thursday, as investors rushed for the exits as the prospect of reduced stimulus from central banks roiled markets.
Continue Reading Below
The dollar crumbled and the yen soared as the slide in Japanese shares forced a clean-out of long-dollar positions, while uncertainty on whether the Federal Reserve would scale back its massive stimulus also undermined the U.S. currency.
The gloomy mood looks set to put European stock markets on the skids, with financial spreadbetters predicting London's FTSE 100, Paris's CAC-40 and Frankfurt's DAX will open down as much as 1.2 percent. A 0.6 percent drop in U.S. stock futures also pointed to weak Wall Street start.
The punishing selloff in Asian markets saw many of them plummet to multi-month lows as investors scrambled to recalibrate their investments in a world with potentially reduced liquidity support.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan tumbled more than 2 percent to its lowest since September for its biggest daily drop in three weeks when global financial markets were rattled by comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggesting the U.S. central bank could tone down its bond-buying stimulus plan if the economy continued to improve.
Around the same time the Bank of Japan also held off from taking fresh measures after a bold reflationary scheme on April 4, a stance repeated at its meeting last week when the bank decided against fresh steps to quell heightened volatility in domestic bonds that has threatened to undercut its ultra-easy monetary policy.
As a result, investors have been unwinding short-yen and long-Nikkei positions, adjustments exacerbated as some hedge funds, caught in the global turmoil in markets, sold assets for cash ahead of their half-year book closing, some traders said.
"It's a combination of Bernanke and the BOJ that triggered this turmoil, magnifying the moves of positions that needed to be sorted out," said Tetsuro Ii, chief executive of Commons Asset Management.
"The BOJ disappointed those who had high hopes for the great portfolio rebalancing by Japanese institutional investors, and are now rushing to close such bets. I think the Nikkei is close to completing such adjustments but currencies may take a bit more time given the markets' size." Ii expected the Nikkei to find support around 12,200, compared to around 12,500 now.
The dollar index against a basket of six major currencies fell 0.34 percent to its lowest since Feb. 20.
The dollar slid more than 2 percent to a 10-week low of 93.90, wiping all gains made on April 4 when the BOJ unveiled its bold bond-buying scheme, encouraging speculators to bet on a weakening yen. The dollar is now down more than 9 percent from a 4-1/2-year peak of 103.74 yen scaled last month.
Japan's Nikkei stock average ended down 6.4 percent to its lowest close since April 3, snapping back into bear territory and extending a bruising selloff that began on May 23 on worries over slowing growth in China and the Fed's policy outlook. The Nikkei scaled a 5-1/2-year high last month.
Both the dollar/yen and the Nikkei fell below the ichimoku cloud bottom for the first time since their rallies began in November, sending a strong bear signal. The Nikkei also breached its 50 percent retracement from its November rise.
"Investors are becoming risk averse on global assets," said Yasuo Sakuma, portfolio manager at Bayview Asset Management, adding that such weak sentiment may last as long as there are concerns about the Fed scaling back its stimulus measures.
South Korean shares fell 1.4 percent and hit the lowest close in 7 months on selling by foreign investors
Australian shares earlier fell 1 percent to a fresh 5-1/2-month low. Shanghai stocks slid as much as 3.8 percent to their lowest since December while the Hong Kong bourse shed as much as 3.3 percent to their lowest since September.
The Fed's aggressive quantitative easing in the form of massive bond-buying has been the main driver of risk asset rallies, so the prospect of a reduction has raises fears about funds being withdrawn from markets and potentially triggering a collapse in prices, especially where they are seen at overbought levels.
The potential reduction in liquidity support for markets and global growth comes amid a worrying slowdown in China, the world's second-biggest economy and a major consumer of commodities and other consumer goods.
The Philippines stock market maybe symbolic of the current risk aversion: the market touched its lifetime high last month but has quickly trimmed its gains to just 10 percent so far this year from more than 20 percent.
"Foreign investors are rushing out the door to secure whatever gains they still have," said April Lee-Tan, research head at COL Financial in Manila.
In a surprise move, the Indonesian central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. The decision follows Bank Indonesia's unexpected hike late Tuesday night of its overnight deposit facility rate (FASBI) by 25 basis points to 4.25 percent to try to bolster the weakening rupiah.
"Asian currencies are expected to weaken further as worries about the Fed exit and waning hopes on BOJ are likely to lead more capital flights," said Yuna Park, a currency and bond analyst at Dongbu Securities in Seoul.
The Bank of Korea held interest rates steady on Thursday, possibly seeing no need for a cut as the country's economic recovery is on track.
Japanese government bonds soared with the benchmark 10-year yield dropping below 0.8 percent for the first time in nearly a month, as stocks plunged with a resurgent yen.
"Market volatility is expected to stay elevated until the Fed's policy meeting next week, at which we may see with more clarity into the tapering issue," said Yuji Saito, director of foreign exchange at Credit Agricole in Tokyo.
The Fed's next policy meeting will be held next week, on June 18-19.
Just as Chinese shares were catching up with the global sell-off during the Chinese holidays, Shanghai copper earlier dropped nearly 3 percent. London copper was up 0.4 percent at $7,151 a tonne, recovering from its lowest in nearly six weeks touched on Wednesday on worries about Chinese demand and the Fed tapering.
U.S. crude futures fell 0.6 percent at $95.27 a barrel and Brent fell 0.4 percent to $103.11.
A weaker dollar and safe-haven bid supported spot gold .

Survey: Small business employees lack proper safety preparedness skills
As extreme heat and possible hurricanes begin to develop across the United States, a recent survey finds employees may not be prepared for disasters or emergencies at work.
The survey, conducted by Staples.com, found that 50% of office workers have either never participated in safety drills or have only done so every few years.
Victor Sordillo, vice president and global technical services manager of loss control services for the Chubb Group of Insurance Cos., said that companies that do not develop sound emergency plans for employees during catastrophic situations are unlikely to be able to swiftly recover and restart business operations.
According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, roughly one-fourth of businesses do not reopen after a major disaster.
"A major weather event can quickly cause property damage, inaccessibility of a site and loss of power," Sordillo said. "Without planning, preparation and practice, a company will sustain a much greater loss in the event of an emergency. Each employee should understand the major vulnerabilities and [his or her] role in reducing loss and resuming operations."
Fires and explosions occur in roughly 70,000 American businesses and cause nearly 200 employee fatalities annually, said Staples.com Public Relations Manager Mark Cautela. In addition, approximately 1,200 tornadoes occur every year in the United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and virtually all states have the possibility of experiencing a moderate to severe earthquake.
Cautela said that the most valuable asset that small businesses have is time, including the time that they're able to stay open.
Typically, the longer a business is closed while recovering from a disaster, the greater the likelihood that its customers go elsewhere. "Even if the business is able to rebuild its physical location and replace its inventory, it may have lost customers in the meantime, who are not likely to return," he said.
Make a plan, talk about it
Nearly half of the office managers polled said they handled all of the safety-related planning and ordering of products, but whether they are talking about those plans and services with employees is questionable: Seventy percent of managers say their company has an emergency communication plan, but nearly half of office workers are either unsure if such a plan exists or say their company does not have a plan.
Sordillo stressed that a means of communication with staff and emergency services is a necessity and that plans must be established to run the operation at the highest level possible if a facility is inaccessible. He advises businesses to conduct a thorough risk analysis to help reduce their downtime and increase the chances of a successful recovery. This can help executives understand the potential of all risks associated with an operation and allows them to develop a recovery plan.
Cautela said safety strategies need to be put into place to respond to all types of emergencies. "Emergencies can be small or large and can impact few or many employees, but it's important to be prepared for all scenarios, including minor medical emergencies, power outages and smaller storms," he said.
Small businesses must take extra precautions
Cautela believes that small businesses have an even greater need to put an emergency plan in place so that they can "protect the lifeblood of their business, their employees, and ensure that they'll be able to re-open for business as soon as possible."
In a small business, "sometimes it's all you: you're the IT person, the payroll person, the office manager and the salesperson," he said. Small businesses are often run as sole proprietorships or limited partnerships so there is not as much to fall back on in a disaster situation when it comes to capital resources or human resources, he said.
In addition, small businesses are less likely to have multiple locations where they can temporarily move their operations in the case of an emergency. "A chain of hair salons could conceivably set up some staff temporarily in another location. But if the business is confined to a single location, that business is 100 percent closed," Cautela said.
There are a number of supplies that experts recommend small businesses have for emergency situations, including first aid kits, fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment, flashlights, surge protectors, equipment to clean up and notify employees of spills, and, if possible, defibrillators.
Managers were almost 50 percent more likely than non-managers to be able to locate these safety-related supplies, suggesting that it is not enough for organizations to simply have these supplies if many office workers are unaware of where they are located.
Both experts agree that planning should extend to the entire business relationship, from suppliers to buyers.
"Businesses should make sure that both their customers and any critical vendors are aware of any disruption in business and that plans are in place to get back up and running as soon as possible," Cautela said.

I enjoyed seeing this suit as I am on a mission to make one of the original costumes in the Burlesque movie with Christina Aguileria. The one that is black sparkling, pair of hands on boobs, pair of hands on butt. I think this would help with the base of the costume. What does everyone think? Need advice on the project, it this would work for the costume. Great look love the one piece as well as the bikini version. I actually make swimwear. Have a website: www.westcoastbikini.com Thank you for the inspiration. Susan

I love this variation. it's a great example of how to use a pattern as a basis for new designs. It also shows how not having seam allowances can be very useful.

Anecdotes, a single relatable story, apparently trump data.
We value stories more than unwieldy columns of numbers when we make decisions.
For example, taxes. Hey, we might be rich someday, why would we want millionaires to pay as much as their secretaries? Fantasy outweighs the reality that 99 percent of us aren't suddenly going to join the 1 percent, really by definition.

Nobody needs a tablet, but many people still want a tablet. This is still the core differentiator between a 'real' computer and a tablet. At least in The Netherlands, you can't function in society without a desktop or laptop connected to the internet, so people need a computer. A tablet, though? Hence, the most common thing people have told me when they played with my iPad 2 is this: I'd love to have a tablet, but not for hundreds of euros. Enter Google's Nexus 7, the first 'cheap' tablet that doesn't just validate Android as a tablet platform, but also gives the iPad a run for its money.

Sacrificing for others can often brings great blessings
Something happened recently that blessed my soul, and I have decided to share it with you in the hope that your heart and mind might be pricked to remember someone that has done something good for you. Just perhaps when the event, act or incident happened, you were too busy, too immature, too troubled, or just too self-centered to think much of it at the time. Maybe you did appreciate the gift, but did not take the necessary time to say thank you to the giving person.
At our large church in Georgia, we often had college kids work on the weekends to learn practical applications of the ministry they were taught in the classrooms during the week. These kids came to our area from various Christian colleges and were often wonderful help on the many bus routes we ran, in the Sunday school classes and children's churches, in cleaning the buildings, running errands, and helping to teach and coordinate activities on Sundays. In fact, these young men and women were a genuine blessing to the staff members and pastor in particularly.
The one thing they enjoyed more than anything else was eating good food in one of our homes or at a local restaurant when someone sprang for a meal. The very best of these kids were asked to come back for the entire summer and work not only in Sunday school and church, but also in our huge vacation Bible schools where they were put to the test. Several did accept the invitations and showed up the day school was dismissed for the semester.
One young lady that I remember so vividly to this day came from a broken home on the wild streets of Dade County, Fla. Her mom was a known prostitute and she had not seen her dad in years. Suzie had been picked up on a bus route that was run by a good church in the area, and she attended faithfully every Sunday. When she could, she went back on Wednesday nights and any other time the church doors were opened. She was such a faithful church member that people in the church banded together and paid Suzie's way to a Christian college, realizing the child needed a break to escape the lifestyle she had grown up in at home. Drugs, alcohol, rape and even a murder filled the pages of her past. She was delighted and wanted to be a blessing to those that had been such a blessing in her young life. Suzie was one of the kids invited to work all summer at our church and she accepted the invitation readily. She did not have a lazy bone in her body and was quite beautiful.
We asked her to stay in our home and often took her with us when we ate or shopped, but generally speaking, she worked many hours at our church. We favored a nice steakhouse near our home, and the manager offered Suzie a job when she was not working at the church. We talked it over and suggested she accept the offer to be able to put up some funds for the coming school year.
When I picked Suzie up that first afternoon, she seemed downcast and despondent, something I had never seen in her. I asked what was wrong, and Suzie mumbled, "Nothing, Miss Brenda. I don't want to bother you with my troubles." That wasn't satisfactory. I had come to love this young lady. So, I asked again. And with tears streaming down her cheeks, she told me that the manager had said she could not work there without the proper shoes and pants. The company provided the shirts. I said, "Well, no problem. We'll go buy a pair of shoes and a couple pair of pants. You'll look just fine tomorrow when you go to work." Suzie sobbed all the way to the store. She dried her eyes and we went inside and bought the items she needed. That child was so proud of her new work shoes. They reminded me of nursing shoes – white, bulky, but very comfortable looking.
Suzie worked for the church and the steakhouse the rest of the summer, went back to school in the fall on full scholarship, and later married the man of her dreams and is now serving in a large church that he pastors. She is the first lady of that church and is a wonderful testimony to the Lord's grace and love.
She wrote me today and said, "Thank you for the white work shoes. I had never had anyone buy anything new for me in my entire life, and all I did was mention that I needed them, and off we went to the store. I know I thanked you that day, Miss Brenda, but I want to thank you again." Suzie went on to tell me how that every time she had faced a difficultly down through the years (and believe me, folks, building a good church can be a difficult and tiring process), I went to my closet and looked at those old torn up shoes and thought, 'God took care of me then, and He will now.' Those shoes have been my symbol of hope, so thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Dear Lord, help us to remember that every honest investment in the life of another will come back to bless us packed down and running over. Who can we help or encourage today?

White Papers and Application Notes
A Modular Platform for Cell Characterization, Handling, and Sorting by DielectrophoresisS. Burgarella[1], B. Dell'Anna[2], V. Perna[1], G. Zarola[2], and S. Merlo[2]
[1]STMicroelectronics, Agrate Brianza, MI, Italy
[2]Dipartimento di Elettronica, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Pavia, Italy
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a method for cell manipulation without physical contact in lab-on-chip devices, since it exploits the dielectric properties of cells suspended in a microfluidic sample, under the action of locally generated high-gradient electric fields. The DEP platform that has been developed offers an integrated solution for customizable applications. Several functional units, organized in a first characterization module and in a series of manipulation stages rearrangeable on a single chip, have been realized using fabrication techniques from Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) technology. Numerical modelling has been performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the electric field distribution and to quantify the DEP forces acting at the cell microscale. Parametrical modelling has been performed to optimize the geometry of each module, whose functioning has been demonstrated with different cells types.

A new downtown dining establishment will open at 11 a.m. Tuesday, just in time to help local residents live it up on Fat Tuesday.
A new downtown dining establishment will open at 11 a.m. Tuesday, just in time to help local residents live it up on Fat Tuesday.
Upstate businessman Frank Bauer and restaurateur Tom Maiolo will officially launch their New Orleans-inspired eatery the Back Porch in the 82-year-old former Spice of Life building at 100 Wood Row.
After spending several months giving the 6,000-square-foot space total makeover, the owners are hoping to give diners a taste of "The Big Easy" with delicious food and a French Quarter atmosphere.
"We're so excited," said Maiolo. "It's beyond what I could have imagined when we first started. We had a friends and family event here this weekend that brought in about 200 people and it was so rewarding to see the restaurant full and to hear all of the oohs and ahs from our guests."
Although patrons can leave their Mardis Gras beads at home, the owners said the ambiance and the food are geared to bring a new kind of dining experience to Spartanburg.
Diners will walk into a swanky sitting area and immediately notice the restaurant's Bourbon Street Bar, which features several drafts beers, including an Abita, which is a Louisiana favorite, 25 bottled beers, wines and spirits.
A Fleur-de-lis flag and strands of vintage bulbs hang above several tables and booths in the restaurant's atrium area. To the rear of the building is a dining area that has the feel of a "back alley" jazz joint, where customers can sign their names on the wall and kick back and relax.
The d�cor is comprised of wrought iron fixtures, dark woods, metallic artwork, exposed brick and harlequin paint schemes. A spacious banquet hall upstairs features a large chandelier and luxurious seating.
Spanish moss hangs from the trees on the restaurant's 80-seat patio.
The women's bathroom features a plush makeup room and privacy stalls. The men's bathroom has a more masculine, waterside feel.
Back Porch's menu will feature a range of reasonably-priced classic New Orleans' favorites mingled with some Upstate dishes.
Customers can order fried alligator tail marinated in a zinger sauce, or a Louisiana gumbo with chicken, shrimp or crawfish.
The menu also includes a signature Po' Boys dish, burgers, steaks, ribs, pastas and desserts.
Bauer, the building's owner since the 1980s, said he was eager to open the restaurant, but he and Maiolo decided to take their time in order to achieve their vision. He brought in a consultant and made sure his staff of nearly 50 people was fully-trained in order to make the 300-seat eatery a success.
"People were asking me every day when we would be open," Bauer said. "I said when you see my beard shaved then you'll know we're getting ready to open… I'm so excited that it's finally here."
Bauer and Maiolo said they hope to be a destination point for people visiting the Chapman Cultural Center or USC Upstate's George Dean Johnson Jr. College of Business and Economics. The want to connect with other downtown businesses and expect the Hub City Co-op grocery store will bring even more visitors to their doorstep.
The Back Porch will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

well done ali. flight was on time too.
dave, are players allowed to take a sudoku puzzle out into the arena with them?
- 7:23 pm
Congrats to Ali on making through but in all honesty, if he wins it, it would kind of demean the world title and i say this with the greatest amount of respect.
The kind of snooker he plays is attrition-based ala Peter Ebdon (grinding opponents to death) and devoid of flair.
And Maguire bottles it again by underestimating Carter. The frame where he was only 14 points behind with only 1 snooker required and the pink and black still alive sums it up really. He somehow decided he couldnt be arsed to play a simple snooker.

Now we know he's playing O'Sulivan, who is his nemesis (Carter never having beaten him!) we'll see how his nerve holds. He's had glorious chances to put O'Sullivan away before but missed easy balls. IMO if O'Sullivan gets an early lead, say 3 or 4-0 he'll win be the same score as last time, 18-8.

I too am impressed by Ali's matchplay this year, but I won't be supporting him over next two days. His behavior during the Trump match rubbed me the wrong way. He deserved to win against Maguire (and I'm gutted that Maguire didn't seize his chance; this might have been last opportunity for him to win at the Crucible); he potted some tremendous balls, but in the end he was playing negative snooker.
He really turned into Ebdon-lite. For him, grinding is not as natural as for Ebdon. It seems more calculated. And at least every once in a while Ebdon plays a really crazy shot - one that is really out there. Carter doesn't do that.
So I hope O'Sullivan will win his fourth title. He's often annoying, but during this World Championship he was really the best player and he acted very professionally. His press conferences were - not only by his standards - quite classy.
In my mind he deserves to win - I only wish I could look out more to his opponent. Ronnie vs. Maguire could be a real classic; Ronnie vs. Carter will be though but not that pleasant to watch. So from my perspective, it's either gonna be a completely predictable win for Ronnie or an unwanted shock from Carter. Either way, not a great conclusion to the Championship.
- 10:00 pm
Carter has beaten ROS once in a best of 5 league match that prob ROS didn't care about- he has lost another 13 times. Hard to see ROS loosing unless he eats a dodgy meal or goes on the beer but you never know..
- 10:14 pm
Carter and Ebdon are a really odd combination aren't they? This tournament has literally ended up with Doctor Evil and Mini Me plotting to steal Ronnie's mojo...

Hi David.
Stat's - Yes Stat's Of The Day -
Today, is 5-5-2012.
15 years ago, to the day today. Ken Doherty, won the world title, beating Stephen Hendry, 18-12, in the final. 5-5-1997.
9 years ago, to the day, today, Mark Wilians, won his second world title, beating Ken Doherty, 18-16, in the final. 5-5-2003.
4 years ago, to the day, today, Ronnie O'Sullivan won his third world title, beating Alister Carter, 18-8, in the finaal.
Another great day's play, in my view.
Semi-Final 2 - Session 3 - O"Sullivan .V. Stevens - 10 am - 11-5 down, steves needed a good start. He got it. 11-7. O'Sullivan made it 12-7. Stevens won another two in a row, 12-9. O'Sullivan stepped up, to take the next three frams, to lad, 15-9, going into tonight's forth, and final session.
Semi-Final 1 -fourth and final session - 2.30 pm - Maguire .V. Carter. 14-10 down, Maguire neededa good start. He did not get it. After a long first frame to this session, carter led, 15-10, and went six up, with seven to play, by winning the next frame. 16-10. Maguire, to his credit, won the next two frames. 16-12. Carter won the next. He wins, 17-12, to go through, to the final.
Semi-Final 2- fourth and final session - O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - 7pm - 15-9 down, Stevens, made a century break, 15-10. O'sullivan replied, to win the next frame, with a century break, of his own, to lead, 16-10. Six up, with seven to play. O'sullivan won the next frame, to win, 17-10, and go though, to the final.
A repeat of the 2008 world final, in the 2012 worl final then. 18-8, to O'Sullivan, 4 years ago. I expect it to be closer, although, I still think 'O'Sullivan, is favourite, 4 years on.
I can't wait.
O'sullivan, has never lost a Cruciible world final, so far. He has a faultless record against Carter, winning all 11, of their professional snooker event matches, to date
Tomorrow - First session start's at 2pm.
Second session start's at 7pm.
The, 'Barry Hearn: The People's Promoter' documentary, is on, at 6.10 pm, tomorrow, also.
Bring all of this on. I shall, as I always do, whenever I can, be watching and recording, the lot. All thigs snooker related, anyway. Bring it on.
- 11:37 pm
if nobody had seen ebbo on camera then nobody would be calling alis play ebdon esq
hes been a bit more methodical than usual, but i bet all these "experts" making comments cant actually remember many of alis matches in long match tournaments and be able to make an educated guesstimation as to how much more methodical he is being than usual.
imho, ali has increased his methodicalness with the same amount as ronnie has. (mind he used to pot mad in the pre reardon pals days).
- 7:45 am
Don't understand the negativity re: Carter.
No, he hasn't played all out attacking snooker, but he is in the final, because he has played better snooker than others.
The all out attacking game is great to watch, but there is a fine line between attacking and reckless, and there are some players who cross that line far too often - and they'll be sitting at home watching the final.
Good luck Ali.
- 7:54 am
Just seen Ronnie's post match interview. He's going to retire again, well maybe. Good luck Ali I say.
- 9:11 am

The BBC stats that Dave and Phil Yates do had the head-to-head at 11-0 to O'Sullivan.
I guess the Championship League not being factored in?

Blackfoot sweeps Snake River in legion action
THOMAS — The Book of Isaiah in the Bible says, "And a child shall lead them." So it should be no surprise that when coach Jeff Katseanes turned to 14-year-old Dillon Manzanares as a relief pitcher in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Snake River, he would come up aces for the Blackfoot Bronco Legion team.
"We expect big things out of Dillon and he will probably set some records in his time as a legion ballplayer," said Katseanes. "He is young, the youngest ball player that we have, but he is tough as nails and pitches very smart."
Manzanares entered the game in the fourth inning with the Broncos behind 8-2 and Snake River on a roll offensively. He got the two best hitters in the Panther lineup to pop up to second and, despite issuing walks to the next two hitters, struck out Trey Serr to end the inning.
"I came in and threw what my catcher told me to throw," said the soon-to-be freshman. "Cole and I throw a lot at home and I am real comfortable relying on his knowledge of the game to give me some guidance."
Cole is Dillon's big brother who jump started the Bronco offense with a towering home run to dead center to lead off the fifth inning. Four of the next five Bronco hitters scored and suddenly the Broncos were in the game, trailing 8-7 with a couple of innings to play.
"That home run by Cole really got our team fired up," said Katseanes. "We need him and Colby Pearson and Jaron Katseanes to be the leaders of this team because of all the youth that we have. When those three are hitting the ball like they can, we will not have any trouble scoring runs."
Neither team scored in the sixth inning, setting the stage for more heroics for young Mr. Manzanares.
Shad Lewis reached base on an error with one out in the Blackfoot seventh. He tied the score on a double by Russell Osborn, who then gave the Broncos the lead on a single by Coby Evans. With two outs, Manzanares then stroked a single down the third base line to score another Bronco run and a 10-8 lead.
"I work a lot with my dad and Cole on my hitting and the work definitely paid off today," said Dillon. "I got a fastball just inside and pulled it down the line. It was great to be able to help my team today."
Manzanares then went back to the mound and closed out the game to earn his first victory of the season.
"After losing the pair of games on Friday to a good Pocatello team, it was really important that we bounce back today," said Katseanes. "We came out early and worked on some fundamentals, but the kids really came to play and everyone contributed to the pair of wins."
The Broncos came out in the first game and got on the scoreboard early, plating three runs in the top of the first. They added runs in every inning but the second and seventh, holding off a Snake River rally late to win the game, 9-8. The Broncos collected a dozen hits in the contest and rode the pitching of Osborn and Jeremy Johnson to the victory.
"Russell and Jeremy pitched pretty well, despite coming back on only two days rest," said Katseanes. "Neither threw a lot of pitches on Wednesday, so we didn't hesitate to come right back with them today."
The key to the opening game win was the hitting of Blackfoot's 3-4-5 hitters, who went a combined 7-11 with six runs batted in.
"After the past couple of games, we really looked at the scorebook to see where we needed to boost our production and we made some line up changes for today," said Katseanes. "We really need those three leaders to drive in the runs for us to be successful."
The Broncos and Panthers will both be back in action today, with Blackfoot traveling to Skyline for a double dip and Snake River on the road at Bonneville for a doubleheader as well. Both team play at 4 and 6 p.m.

For the spice mix:
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon coarsely ground coffee beans
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black peppercorns
For the steak:
1 bone-in rib-eye steak (approximately 36 ounces), frenched
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
For the tomato relish:
2 pints assorted baby tomatoes (pear tomatoes, cherry tomatoes)
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
2 medium shallots, finely diced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the spice mix:
Mix the ingredients for the spice mix together.
For the steak:
Remove the steak from refrigeration 1 hour before cooking to allow steak to come to room
temperature. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then rub the spice mix on to the steak.
Set aside.
For the tomato relish:
Remove stems from tomatoes and cut the larger ones in half. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, shallots, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, cilantro and salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large cast iron skillet or saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. When smoking hot sear the steak on all sides and place in the preheated oven. Allow the steak to roast until its internal temperature is 100 to 105 degrees F on a meat thermometer. Remove it from the oven and place steak on a cooling rack. Allow the steak to rest on the rack for 10 minutes.
Remove the steak to a cutting board and slice 4 to 5 slices out of the eye of the steak, leaving some meat on the bone. Spoon the tomato relish over the top of the steak where the bone meets the slices.
Cook's Note: All of the above can be done as much as 6 hours prior to dining. (Reserve the steak and tomato relish in refrigerator until ready to cook.)
This dish is great with medium to heavy red wine or with a medium to intense beer

Balls. Nuts. Stones. Eggs. Bullocks.
That's what Oakland Park's James L. Riedy self-published book "The Pleasures of Testicles: A Celebration and Exploration of All Things Balls" ($10.95, Outskirts Press) is all about.
Of course, the retired humanities professor could have written about a lot of things. He's already a published author, with a well-respected and thoughtful tome, 1981's "Chicago Sculpture," for example. The Wisconsin native earned bachelor and master degrees in journalism; worked in magazine publishing in his adoptive hometown of Chicago; had his own radio show there; and taught at City Colleges of Chicago.
But he had his heart set on balls.
"Some of my friends and relatives are shocked and aghast at my producing my just-published book," says Riedy, from his vacation home in San Jose, Costa Rica. "And I have the impression that some of them are not talking to me anymore."
Riedy began to crack that nut 20 years ago when, drawing on his background in humanities and an appreciation of the visual arts, he gave multimedia lectures for the American Urological Association, Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and The American Culture Association.
"When I first started, I knew absolutely nothing about testicles other than I owned a pair of my own," Riedy says. "This was before Google. But I have to tell you that when I talked about testicles and gastronomy, it was standing-room only at the national convention of the American Culture Association in New Orleans."
Even before those whimsical presentations, the idea of morphing the topic into a book was already rolling around in Riedy's mind.
"I was in a book store in Seattle about three decades ago," he says. "I came upon ["The Book of the Breast"] by Playboy Press. Even at that time it occurred to me that there were books on breasts and vulvas and penises and derrieres, but no one had done anything on testicles.
"I produced an 11-chapter manuscript covering every aspect: articles on the depiction of testicles by artists; the etymology of words we use to describe testicles...I wrote about them from an anthropological, religious and artistic point of view."
But finding a publisher to take the project further was a bust, so he put his balls book on the backburner. Eventually, when the advent of the Internet allowed for worldwide research from the comfort of his Oakland Park condo (he moved to South Florida from Chicago eight years ago), the topic once again dangled in front of him and he decided to self-publish in January.
"I was able to use two of my chapters of the original manuscript in the current book," he says. "But now I refer to [the product] as more of a handbook for both sexes that expands the boundaries of frisky occasions and celebrates the natural joys of a man's nether regions, his jewels."
There is a chapter where he traces "the history of various words we use to describe them going back to Shakespeare's time, and then [I make a] footnote of 200 terms that are used in the place of testicles and balls."
Other chapters cover aesthetic pleasures ("...everything from shaving the balls and piercing them and having tattoos and using various means of inflating them") to sensory pleasures ("...which includes touching, fucking, tea-bagging, fondling, massaging").
Aside from references in literature, from Jean Genet to Philip Roth, there's also a bit of a dissertation on size, including a description of a clinic in Bay Harbor Islands in Miami-Dade County that offers testicle enlargement procedures for about $4,500 for single and $6,000 for bilateral implants.
"I even talk about how a Republican in the Legislature of Maryland tried to outlaw truck nuts saying that children should not be exposed to giant plastic testicles hanging from the tractor trailers."
But he thinks that what may have his family's and friends' you-know-whats all twisted are the chapters on fetish pleasure, ranging from electrical stimulation to inserting needles into the scrotum.
"There's a company in St. Petersburg where you can make arrangements to have your own ball-busting scene put on video. It's $600 for one lovely girl and one location, with each additional girl costing $300."
And how far did his research go?
"Oh no," answers Riedy, laughing. "I depend on all the descriptions on the Internet."

It has been an interesting start to the baseball playoffs. The play-in games put a different spin on things, but I'm hearing a lot of criticism of the single game format and it would be fairer to have best two-or-three. It probably would, but MLB doesn't want to take the chance of playing in November.
A possible solution would be to incorporate at least one day-night doubleheader during the season among division opponents only. You would still have the same number of games, but a doubleheader a month would eliminate six days from the calendar, which would give MLB a week to tinker with the format.
There are a lot of interesting story lines. The one that stands out for me would be the fallout should the Cardinals run the table again like last season. In 2011, it was a special story because of how they came from behind during the season to make the playoffs and how they rallied in the World Series. This year would be an asterisk because of the "Infield Fly Game," which will forever be a part of baseball lore.
It was predictable the MLB hid behind the "umpire's judgment" clause and didn't comment on whether it was a good call or not. With all this technology that showed it was a blown call, it is a shame a team is home possibly because an umpire made a bad call.
The Cardinals face the Nationals, with the first two games in St. Louis. I don't like this format. The Nationals had the best record and shouldn't open on the road. Who can't see the Cardinals winning at home and stealing one on the road? There should be a reward for having the best record.
At the start of the season I predicted the Yankees and Giants in the Series and it could still happen. The Reds stole one in San Francisco despite losing their ace Johnny Cueto. He's questionable for the rest of the series, but the Reds accomplished what they needed in getting at least a split.
In the American League, the Tigers and Orioles need to protect their home field and win the first two. Should they sweep the first two, I can see them taking one on the road. However, it is far harder to think they'll win two on the road.
Just playing out some possible World Series scenarios that would be interesting.
ORIOLES vs, NATIONALS: Two teams horrid for so long are poised for prime time. About 50 miles apart, this has the potential to develop into a real interleague rivalry over time. Washington's manager, Davey Johnson, used to play for the Orioles. Nobody could have forecast them meeting in the Series. The Nationals have a better rotation, but the Orioles have the better pen. Both hit for power.
ATHLETICS vs. GIANTS: Another potential geographical rivalry. They met before in the Earthquake World Series with the Athletics sweeping. The Giants might have the best rotation in the playoffs, but are already down a game.
YANKEES vs. GIANTS/CARDINALS: The Yankees' power against the Giants' pitching would be intriguing. Power vs. power. The New York angle for the Giants is long gone. … A Yankees-Cardinals match-up would feature the two winningest World Series teams in history.
Regardless of the World Series pairings, I'll watch. I always do. Even when it is the Yankees or Phillies.

As we discussed last night on the blog, it is unlikely Halladay will be moved for several reasons, beginning with the Blue Jays' asking price and their refusal to give a negotiating window to a prospective buyer.
Tonight, the Mets will try to make it two in a row behind Oliver Perez against the hapless Washington Nationals. Gary Sheffield is out of the line-up for a fourth straight game, and here's a surprise, he could go on the DL if there is no improvement by the end of the week.
Here's the line-up:
Angel Pagan, CF
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Fernando Tatis, LF
Daniel Muprhy, 1B
Omir Santos, C
Alex Cora, SS
Oliver Perez, LP
