The Gospel Comes to Life: Claude Fanor on Transformation in Haiti
Lake Zurich, Ill. — Claude Fanor of Pignon, Haiti is an eyewitness: transformation is happening in his country.
On Claude's last visit to the United States, he met with Bright Hope staff and shared his excitement about the ongoing work in the Haitian villages of
Beganabe and Colladere, where Bright Hope's JELLY program (standing for Jesus, Education, Livelihoods, Love, and You)
is making an impact. As part of the initiative, a church community in America partners with a community living in poverty through educational activities,
relationship building, and the support of clean water and microenterprise programs.
But in Haiti, where billions of dollars in aid has flowed in the six years since the devastating earthquake, how could one small program have such an impact upon a ministry "veteran" like Claude?
The JELLY Difference
"I have worked in many communities," Claude shared, "but JELLY brings true community. Haitians in poverty have been praying for years. They see this as God bringing Hope to them. So they begin to work together in everything they are doing."
Claude recognizes where this Hope is coming from. He said, "They have energy because we are created by God to do and work. Every day God has given us a new day… so each day is a new day to serve. Through [JELLY], God brings community – meeting regularly to talk and care for each other in loans, praying for each other, carrying each other's burdens, and considering others above yourselves."
Claude's excitement continued to grow. "Three years after Beganabe was started," he beamed, "you see a church that is growing, even in the last year. Families are profiting from their businesses, and they are investing, saving, and purchasing animals. Old women who are taking care of family orphans are feeding them all. This is their way of saving, and I am so encouraged!"
Yet the transformation in Haiti runs deeper than families simply working together – people's minds are also being transformed.
"I see leaders rising up!" Claude exclaimed. "One wants to start a mutual fund where a small group all save money, and each month it's given to someone in need of a loan. These are ideas coming from people that never thought this way before, and I have never seen other communities outside of JELLY think this way and work this way."
Claude Fanor, left, shares his heart with Pastor Dave Mudd and the congregation of Alpine Chapel in Lake Zurich, Illinois.
Two Congregations Connected
During Bright Hope's discussion with Claude, he reflected on one of his favorite passages of scripture, Mark 8:22-26, in which Jesus heals a blind man.
A few days later, just before appearing on the platform at Alpine Chapel in Lake Zurich, Illinois, the church's pastor, Dave Mudd, casually mentioned
to Claude that Alpine was moving through a series on the book of Mark. There was a glimmer in Claude's eyes, and he smiled broadly.
When Claude stepped to the platform, and seized the opportunity with his audience.
"One of my favorite passages is Mark 8:22-26 because Jesus heals a man who is blind," Claude shared, "but after the first time, the man says that the people are still unclear, 'like walking trees,' so Jesus touches him a second time, and he sees people clearly."
He went further, relating the scriptures to the growing bonds of love between Colladere and Alpine. "Colladere needed a second touch. Alpine needed a second touch. JELLY is God's second touch because we couldn't see each other clearly. Now… we do! And, we have community in our own, and with each other... with Alpine."
Claude went on to encourage Alpine that though they may not feel the impact of their partnership, the people of Colladere certainly are being transformed.
"You are such a blessing to them, and they love you so much. I can see in you a heart of love. You did not realize it before, but I know that God is choosing you, and the members of Alpine, to do something special in Haiti."
Recently, another shipping container has arrived on Alpine's Lake Zurich campus, which will be lovingly painted and packed for the people of Colladere, where this fall, it will be built out into a church and school building. And through the JELLY program, the hearts of those in Beganabe, Colladere, and at Alpine Chapel have all changed… for they have now seen with their eyes, and heard with their ears, that through the work of their hands…
The Gospel has come to life.

One of my favourite movie episodes is from 'Runaway Bride', where Julia Robert's character is recovering her sense of self by making the time to try every kind of egg possible. When I first watched this, it really hit home for me, because, just like her character, I didn't know what kind of eggs I liked, and was just going along with whatever the friends or boyfriends around me were having. And as you can imagine, it wasn't just about the eggs.
Making time to know yourself and what you like, don't like, want, need, and desire is super important in reclaiming ourselves. It's the critical first step in having relationships with others that respect each person as an individual, maintain balance with each other, and thrive.
And what better place to practice exploring what does and doesn't work for you than in the kitchen?
For the past year, I've been using coleslaw as my experimental recipe, seeing what ingredients and flavour combos I do and don't enjoy. Coleslaw is a great place to start because, one, it rarely turns out not edible, and two, the anticipation of what flavour combo is going to be created each time is so much fun!
Practicing playing with new and different flavours and combos has had it's ripple effect in my life, and I find I'm more willing to try something new, and also more empowered to say, you know what, Cumin AND Ginger essential oil on my coleslaw [or whatever other scenario life presents] really is not good for me. Thanks anyway.
Here's some ideas to get you started making your own unique version of a coleslaw (and life) that works for you.
- Choice #1: Do I want to use a food processor to slice and dice ingredients, or do I want to chop by hand?
- Choice #2: Do I want thin or thick slices, or other shapes?
- Choice #3: Which kind of cabbage do I want to use today? White? Purple? Pointed? Savoy?
- Choice #4: What other fruit or veg do I want to slice up with it? Green apples? Carrots? Raw Fennel? Raw Celeriac/Rutabaga? Raw Broccoli or Cauliflower stems?
- Choice #5: What kind of subtle flavours do I want peppered throughout? Raw garlic? Raw ginger? Raw onion? Shallots? Spring onion? Radish?
- Choice #6: What kind of dressing do I want today? A mayo-based? Olive-oil based? Do I want to make it from scratch or from a bottle? What could I mix with olive oil to give it some punch? Fresh squeezed lemon juice? Apple-cider vinegar? Balsamic Vinegar? Red-wine vinegar?
- Choice #7: What kind of seasoning am I in the mood for? Fennel seeds? Cumin seeds? Fresh ground coriander seeds? Black pepper? Salt? Are there any food-grade essential oils I want to try instead?
- Choice #8: What about fresh herbs? Can I get my hands on any fresh mint, parsley, basil, rosemary, lemon balm, dill, or anything else? Are there any food-grade essential oils I want to try instead?
- Choice #9: What about seeds? What would it be like with some sunflower or pumpkin or chia or flax seeds? Do I want them in there whole, or ground up first?
You get the picture?
Instead of just going along with a recipe, use these prompts to guide you towards ingredients and flavours that you want to try for yourself. You might love them or hate them, and that is all OK.
The fact that you've tried it for yourself is the win. See how many different combos you're willing to try over time, without attachment to the outcome, just for fun.
Here's an example of how one of mine came out. This is from last summer and from what I can tell, I used a combo of white cabbage and savoy, green apple slices, chia seeds, radish, and my guess is it had some raw ginger and garlic in there with olive oil and lemon dressing.
Let us know what combo becomes your favourite! – Kendra

When I was young, I used to see my brothers and his friends playing games on computers. They were super engross with it and at times you can hear them shouting out instructions to one another. Bet they would love the newly opened Pantheon – Malaysia's first of its kind NVIDIA GeForce GTX certified Platinum eSports arena.
When I stepped into The Pantheon, I was totally blown away with this premium gaming experience arena. Why? It has state-of-the-art gaming experience complete with 116 PCs, an auditorium and other peripherals such as VR experience zone, Racing Simulator and PS4 zone.
The Pantheon is located at One Space One City @ The Square. Built on more than 10,000 square feet it's dedicated to providing only the top gaming experience for gamers from all walks of life. Gamers will be able to enjoy top-notch gaming experience with GTX 1060 or higher GPU alongside 27inch, 144hz G-sync monitors with over 30 top gaming equipment or component from notable brands such as NVIDIA, Alienware, Legion, MSI, Omen, Predator, Republic of Gamers, among others.
Apart from that, there are six experience rooms setup with six desktops in each room with renowned gaming brands such as Alienware, Legion, MSI, Omen, Predator and Republic of Gamers respectively. One can get a 360 experience as well as to try out the brands' latest products in advance before purchasing them. In addition, the private rooms are able to provide a distraction-free environment for gaming teams who wants to train in private. Imagine training for DOTA here!
Another unique concept was the built-in auditorium where gamers can catch various tournaments happening. It's one of the only 15 of its kind in South East Asia! You might not be aware that The Pantheon has hosted numerous notable gaming tournaments such as TML Qualifier Championed by Celcom and NVIDIA GEXT Qualifier. In the next couple of months, there are more notable tournaments lined-up to be held at The Pantheon such as Asus Join the Republic.
Being a gamer, you might lose track of time leaving your tummy growling in hunger. Fret not, for The Pantheon has a comfortable café built inside. For Gaming enthusiasts, you can enjoy exclusive membership programs with The Pantheon. Some of the privileges include the access to the PS4 zone for free when they purchase food and beverages above RM5. Super affordable!

Riddick Bowe is back! The former world champion fought for the first time since December 1996, scoring the predictable early stoppage over trialhorse Marcus Rhode in the second round.
It was Bowe's first contest since December 1996, and a predictably easy one. Rhode, with 26 losses to his name, is face-first brawler with a bad chin, and so it came as no surprise to see the underdog decked four times before his corner threw in the towel.
So as a result, it proves nothing for Bowe. It simply served to get him back into competitive action, and we can expect more of the same from the 37-year-old New Yorker. He said he will use George Foreman's comeback in the 1980s as his blueprint for a route back to the top – fight regularly against relatively safe opposition. he says he wants to have 15 fights over the first year of his comeback and reckons he'll be ready for a world title shot within two years.
It's just as well Bowe plays it safe for the time being. His comeback is very controversial and ill-advised by most quarters.
When sent to jail for kidnapping his estranged family in 2001, Bowe's lawyer used the excuse of his client being brain damaged before the incident as a means of securing leniency in sentencing.
If that is true, it's very worrying. Damaged brain cells never repair or reproduce, although the brain can learn to adjust, which may explain why Bowe seems in better health these days than before his incarceration.
At the moment, Bowe is only licensed by native American territories and the Virgin Islands. When and if he seeks to fight in more prestigious and lucrative venues, he will be subjected to a sterner medical examination.
Then we will find out if he is indeed brain damaged, in which case his career will be over and all those associated with this comeback will be severely discredited.
If it turns out Bowe is actually in good health, then his lawyer will be proved to have lied, which could have legal ramifications for the fighter.
But for now, Bowe has passed step one with ease and emerged unscathed. I hope he gets to have his money back and not resort to payday loans no guarantor online! Let's hope that remains the case.

Image by yotambientengosuperpoderes via FlickrWell, the one year anniversary of the Wonderful World of Clutter was supposed to be a crowning moment of glory and achievement. But instead I am filled with piss, vinegar, bile, and a certain type of acid that corrodes the corners of the mouth when I spit.
However, there are lessons to be learned, some from the past week, some from the past year's worth of entries.
- Lesson 1: Never piss off a resourceful minority, especially when he has a handlebar mustache.
- Lesson 2: Don't imply that I am incapable of critical thinking.
- Lesson 3: Never question the power of the NAACP.
- Lesson 4: The Judgement Night Soundtrack is great anger management music, even if it gave birth to the worst genre of music ever conceived.
- Lesson 5: When in doubt, ask "What Would Lobo Do?"
- Lesson 6: Dignity is always found on a bronze statue.
- Lesson 7: Wash, Rinse, Retreat.
- Lesson 8: Bigots are not the only evil thing out there, for monkeys are always evil.
- Lesson 9: Hey I joined Twitter...You should add me...there is a link to the side of this page.
- Lesson 10: Furries are a scary. Nuff said.
- Lesson 11: Never overlook the significance of a discarded scrap of paper.
- Lesson 12: If all else fails there is always taxidermy school.
So in closing this the first year of Wonderful World of Clutter, I feel it best to leave behind some of the vitriol while retaining the fire that keeps me motivated. Thus I present two of my inspirations in life, Sifl and Olly. And while they sing the praises of Laser Eyes, I will keep my Laser Vision burning. Burning like 103 really hot suns. So there.

Determining The Right Strapping Machine
Strapping is the process of applying a strap to hold, combine and secure an item. The strap used can be made from different materials. This could be some special plastic or steel. In an industrial setting, application of a strap is achieved using a strapping machine. The primary role of a strapping machine is to make the whole exercise convenient and effective. That said, this article takes a closer look at the main types of strapping machines.
Types of strapping machines
There are various types of strapping or banding machines. These machines have their strengths and weaknesses, which determine their area of application. Ideally, the choice of strapping machine is influenced by the nature and volume of goods you will be handling. So, before you start shopping for banding machine, here are some popular classifications of strapping machines.
Hand strapping tools
Hand strapping tools are among the most common strapping tools today. They can be powered or fully manual. These devices are mainly used in bundling small packages. If you deal with small strapping loads, a hand strapping machine can be appropriate.
Semi-automated strapping machines
Semi-automated strapping machines are technically superior to hand operated strapping machines. When it comes to their efficiency, they almost match that offered by fully automated strapping machines. The only disparity is that the strap is manually fed.
Automatic strapping machine
Automatic strapping machines are known for their speed and precision. These strapping machines encompass arches with different sizes. These machines are powered using a switch. Being faster than the handheld or semi-automatic models, they are highly preferred in settings that handle large volumes.
Fully automatic strapping machines
The strapping machines do not require an operator to function. As such, they are mostly integrated into the production line. Once the process is complete, they can automatically strap the package on its own. These units are efficient and are used in settings with high strapping demands. They are also known to be effective and have minimum wastages.
Application of strapping machines
Strapping are primarily used to complete horizontal and vertical bands. They are used to bundles items together for ease of handling. Strapping might also be used to reinforce crates, corrugated boxes, and wooden boxes. These machines can also be used to secure items on trailers and cars. The applications of strapping machines are diverse and unique.…

I imagine that for many students going abroad to study, language learning makes up a large portion of their goals for foreign education. Sure enough, it does for me too. Speaking as someone who has continually struggled with this necessarily rigorous subject, even at home in Toronto, I feel I must impart my experience to you, just in case you happen to be thinking of pursuing language or cultural immersion abroad. I realize that this may be old hat for a lot of you, and it deals solely with my experience in South Korea, but nevertheless, heed my words!
Before going abroad I had a rather romantic view of what would constitute my language study here in South Korea. I would go to a language class where, at a comfortable pace, a passionate and attentive professor would teach me the various nuances of Korean for a few hours in a class full of like-minded students, eager to learn yet striving to overcome their own unique struggles with the language. After a detailed lesson in which the teacher would ensure that the students were on the same page by answering myriad questions, we would then go out into the surrounding area (Sinchon, in the case of Yonsei University) and go shopping or have dinner or just stroll around with local friends we had made, giving us excited and enthusiastic students ample opportunity to use our newly acquired grammar forms and vocabulary. Based on this pattern, my language skills would evolve naturally at a gradual pace, and I would experience both improvement and heightened cultural awareness at a previously unimaginable rate. I mean, how could I not, right?
Well, big surprise—life's not that simple. Speaking to peers about language learning in a foreign environment showed me that many shared sentiments similar to mine: It's super easy to learn a language if you're in the country of its origin. The reality, of course, is that it's never "super easy" to learn a language, unless you're some sort of prodigy. A more accurate representation of the reality of foreign-language learning is this: It's easier to learn a language if you're immersed in it. The trick is, of course, to ensure that you're immersed, which is easier said than done.
Perhaps the biggest misconception when it comes to studying abroad is that you will be instantly surrounded by the culture of the land you choose to study in. You may have romantic visions of living in a dorm or attending classes among native students from that country, who will be open-minded and cannot wait to converse with an intrepid North American exchange student. You may expect that you will easily befriend locals who will be eager to assist you in your language studies and make lifelong bonds with you. These idealistic notions may be the reality of studying abroad in countries where English is spoken by a large percentage of the population, but in South Korea—and, I would imagine, in many other non-primarily English-speaking countries—if you are lacking in linguistic prowess, you may find it more difficult to immerse yourself than you initially expected.
Here at Yonsei I, like most other international students, live in an international dormitory, surrounded by other international students, mostly from Europe and the United States, who primarily speak English. I was not able to register for a Korean dorm (and I'm not sure if I would have anyway, but even so, the option was not available). Moreover, my classes cater especially to exchange students and my classmates consist of nothing but. This naturally has its advantages—it is easy for us to touch base and to share helpful survival tips about things like banking or going to the pharmacy—but from an immersion perspective this has been somewhat debilitating.
During our orientation I was surprised when one of the speakers told us that we exchange students might be more comfortable hanging out in the Global Lounge—a space designed for but not limited to international students on the Yonsei campus—as there were "fewer Korean students there." Certainly I can understand classes that cater to English-speakers in a country that does not primarily speak English, but I find the lengths the university seems to be going to keep us separated from the Korean students rather discouraging, despite the fact that the administration seems to feel it is within our best interest. For example, the international dorms are located on the other side of the campus from the Korean dorms, and a relatively large number of student clubs seem to be exclusively for Korean students (I applied for four clubs and got contacted by only one, although that could simply have been the result of lack of organization).
Thus the reality of my cultural immersion and language study has so far been more like this:
Every day we learn Korean for two hours in the evening, after a day of classes that are entirely in English (no surprises there) with classmates who are almost entirely non-Koreans, with few exceptions. By the end of our language class we are really tired, and the teacher takes off right afterwards, leaving little time or motivation to ask questions. I go off with friends from the U.S. whom I met in my dorm and my Korean class, and later I study with another friend, from Taiwan, and my roommate, from Indonesia. I speak English to all of them except for the rare times when we try to speak Korean together. Occasionally, when we both have time, I hang out with my language-exchange partner, but I haven't spoken Korean to her yet. This also seems to be the reality for most of my classmates.
I'm lucky in that I have quite a few Korean friends whom I met in Toronto, and if it wasn't for them I would find it very difficult indeed to find an opportunity to speak Korean. Despite this, most of the time I don't speak too much Korean beyond ordering food in restaurants.
So why am I telling you this discouraging tale? I'm simply offering a warning. Though you will inevitably have many wonderful experiences with other foreign students while studying abroad, if you want to be culturally and linguistically immersed in the country you're visiting, it won't happen if you sit around and wait for the culture to come to you. You must be proactive and insert yourself in situations where you are able to experience the culture and use the language you have been studying; otherwise you'll end up being more of an academic tourist. If that's all you want from your exchange experience (and there is nothing wrong with that, mind you), then sit back and relax. But if you're hoping to increase language proficiency or mingle with the locals, you've got to get out there. I still have more than eight months of study left here, and I'm certainly planning to get out there a lot more.

Everything old new again at Lush
Bowing to customer demand, the cosmetics retailer is bringing back discontinued products and staging online and in-store activities to celebrate the old/new Retro line.
Toronto-HQ'd Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Canada has decided to offer customers more than 70 previously discontinued products, now dubbed 'Retro,' starting today.
A promotional campaign to support the unusual retail move is centered around LUSH Town, an homage to the film noir mysteries of the 1930s, set to debut July 21, plus a corresponding online contest. After watching the short movie, viewers can enter a contest at www.lushtown.com to win a limited-edition LUSH Retro set of products.
In stores, there will be 'Lush Town' displays made entirely of retro soap, which will be won by the customer who correctly guesses its weight. As well, the chain will host 1930s-themed parties on July 5 and 6 to launch a limited-edition gift box, as well as give away retro samples.
'We created the campaign to give Retro Lush an identity of its own and to offer customers a fun introduction to the new format,' says Jack Constantine, Lush's UK online marketer and the instigator of the campaign. 'It crosses over online and also into the stores, making this a truly multi-channel promotion.'

text: SuperCard, G6 and EWIN Slot 1 Device News! I am not sure if my translation is correct but I tried over 4 different website translators and none worked correctly. It looks as if SuperCard, G6, and EWIN flashcart manufacturers are going to announce, or have announced, new Slot 1 devices. My source is yyjoy and they are a Chinese website so I may not be 100% correct. It looks as if they are calling the new devices the G6 DS, SuperCard DS, and EWIN3. In G6 news it seems that the new product will not have built-in memory but rather microSD support. Also they don't expect a release for at least a few more months but its expected to be very cheap when once its released. It also seems that the SuperCard team has been working on their version of a Slot 1 device for some time now but it's not quite done. They also go on to say that the SuperCard team is confident of their products and that they are going to put pressure on the other manufacturers with this new device. And finally the EWIN3 will come in two versions with one having microSD support and the other having built-in memory. The EWIN3 with built-in memory will support clean ROMs while the microSD version will require patching much like the DSLink. The EWIN3 price is still unknown. Also mentioned were that a fake SuperKey is now on the market (with pictures on the website) and that the M3 Pro will be shipping tomorrow for sale. At this time this is all speculation and may even be a bad translation but I guess we shall find out soon enough! Source Enjoy, FifthE1ement

Peanut butter and chocolate brownies
Peanut butter and chocolate brownies recipe appeared in The Observer in June 2011 in a recipe column written by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. The photo looked gorgeous, and I have been drooling at it ever since. As I had friends coming for a cup of tea today, I decided to try a new recipe, which I have slightly adapted, cutting down the amount of sugar, butter and cream cheese.
For the brownie layer you will need
220g dark chocolate, at least 70%, (Hugh says chopped, I broke it into pieces, also used a variety of different brands, as I have half eaten bars all over the house, so mine was a combination of Lindt sea salt chocolate, Green & Black dark chocolate and some dark Russian chocolate that stayed in the cupboard for too long)
100g+ unsalted butter
100g light muscovado sugar
2 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
120g self-raising flour
a pinch of salt
Melt the chocolate with butter in a heatproof bowl over a simmering water (or just chuck in the warm oven to melt) until smooth. Set aside to cool a bit, then beat in the sugar and eggs until all fluffy. Mix together with the vanilla extract, flour and salt.
Line a brownie tin with a parchment paper or foil and lightly grease it with butter. Spoon the batter into the tin, keeping a few tablespoons for later.
Now that's one layer sorted.
For the peanut butter layer beat together the following ingredients:
1 tub of cream cheese, room temperature (I used Philadelphia light)
227g jar of Whole Earth smooth peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g caster or granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 tbsp single cream
3 tbsp plain flour, sifted
Spread the peanut butter layer over the brownie layer and add the remaining spoonfuls of the reserved brownie mix.
Using a wooden toothpick, make swirls in the batter, so that you get a pretty pattern.
Bake for 35 minutes until the edges are puffed and the toothpick comes clean in the centre.
Let it cool on a rack, once cold, cut into squares.
The process of cooking was enjoyable, especially licking the spoon with the remains of the chocolate and peanut mixtures.

The introduction of new technologies for b-to-b sales and marketing organizations is accelerating more and more each day. In fact, it's accelerating to the point where buyers are having trouble discerning one vendor's solution from another. Even technologies once considered advanced, such as predictive and text analytics, are finding themselves commoditized to a certain extent. Now more than ever, it's often everything the vendor offers beyond the technology that buyers should focus on to determine true differentiation between providers.
Despite offering strong functionality, we see many vendors fall short in helping customers execute. It's critical for organizations to consider what we call "essential elements," the ability of a vendor to deliver and implement its solution. There are two key essential element categories:
Technology is a critical enabler of the sales and marketing operational triumvirate, which also includes skills and process. But it's often very difficult to tell one technology solution from another from only a features and functionality perspective. Look beyond the technology to choose vendors that can provide the services needed today as well as contribute to a sustainable, successful ongoing relationship.
Jonathan Block is Vice President of Information Technology and Cybersecurity at SiriusDecisions. He has developed key models and frameworks that enable b-to-b organizations to understand, evaluate and implement appropriate marketing and sales technologies, as well as advised executive clients on the role of technology to help drive sales and marketing integration and enterprise alignment.

March 4, 2010 (CHICAGO) --The City of Chicago is donating a used fire truck to Haiti to help with recovery efforts after January's deadly earthquake.
Alderman James Balcer said donating the truck is the right thing to do and it shows unity in the world. It could take several months to get the truck to Haiti but plans are in place to quickly put it to use.
"We have volunteer groups from Northern Alabama that are going to be volunteering their equipment, their time, and their effort to train up the Haitian Fire Department so they can utilize this great fire truck from the city of Chicago," said Lt. Col. Robert Garcia, Civil Affairs Forces.
The truck was originally supposed to go to Ukraine but officials there agreed it should be sent to Haiti.

Did Roy Horn have a stroke onstage that upset his white tiger Montecore and caused the animal to try to save him? That's what Horn's partner Siegfried Fischbacher thinks took place. "Many ministrokes…caused Roy to stumble," Fischbacher, 64, told the audience at a Las Vegas cancer fund-raiser on Nov. 20, speaking from the same stage where Horn had been mauled nearly two months before. "Montecore carried him 35 feet…to his safety."
Fischbacher's stunning theory goes against eyewitness accounts that the 600-lb. cat attacked Horn, 59, after the showman scolded him for growling and becoming distracted during the show. No way, says Fischbacher, who compared Montecore to a mother carrying her young. "The injury [to Horn's neck] was small, about a quarter-of-an-inch puncture," he says. "The teeth of a tiger are about 6 inches long and…like an ice pick. He touched Roy so carefully. Now that was a miracle."
And so is Horn's ongoing recovery, says Fischbacher. Since the Oct. 3 attack, Horn, who remains in serious but stable condition at UCLA Medical Center, has undergone several operations to relieve pressure on his brain. (Doctors won't comment on Horn's treatment.) But he has regained the ability to communicate through hand gestures and even to write. (His first note was to Fischbacher: "It is beautiful to hold your hands.") He's made so much progress that Siegfried and Roy's manager Bernie Yuman expects Horn home for Christmas.
Looking to the future, Fischbacher speculates that the pair's show, which has headlined at the Mirage since 1990, will return. "I can assure you," Fischbacher told the Nevada Cancer Institute fund-raiser audience, "that even though I am standing here by myself, there will be a Siegfried & Roy in front of you again."
Whether the pair return to the Mirage, however, remains in question. The hotel's management announced on Oct. 4 that the $110-a-ticket spectacle had permanently closed, and spokesman Dave Kirvin said on Nov. 25 that the hotel is debating who will replace its once star performers on the massive marquee high above the Strip. "Their marquee is up there until the end of the year," Kirvin said. "There isn't a timeline."
Fischbacher, meanwhile, says he visits Horn regularly. On the day before the cancer fund-raiser, which he and Horn were supposed to cohost, Fischbacher asked his partner, "Should I go there on my own?" Horn replied, "Of course. Tell them thank you for the love." Fischbacher teared up thinking of the moment. "Thank you for the support," he told the Las Vegas audience. "Because I know it worked."

"For luxury and glamourous Interior Design, Edward Grace is hard to beat."
Zoe Hunter
"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help. The house really looked fantastic for our party on Saturday and we were both so pleased. I hadn't really had time to take much of it in so far but I think Saturday, for the first time, it became more of a home, just as we had wanted.
The Interior Design plans and all the furnishings you supplied just look perfect and our friends all commented on the amazing transformation. The house only comes together with all your furniture in it."
Mellisa Gaul
"Great job done to deadline, just in time for the arrival of our new baby. We love the interior design that flows all the way through the house now. The nursery is adorable. All our friends think it is wonderful."
"When I bought my home 5 years ago I decided that I needed an interior design practice that would give it a special kind of glamour and elegance. I wanted the "wow" factor. So I count myself fortunate that I was introduced to Edward Grace Interiors as they not only provided expert advice and inspiration for every room but were happy to work with me to interpret and build on my own ideas too.
Linda, Jo and their team brought a quality of visual flair, knowledge, personal service and attention to detail that was simply wonderful. I particularly love the quality of materials that they work with. My home has received literally hundreds of compliments over the years, (so much so that now that I want a refresh I am once again working with Edward Grace Interiors)! I would not hesitate to recommend them."
Lynda Barber
After looking at many webpages on Interior Design the only one that stood out to me was Edward Grace Interior Design, www.interiordesigneressex.co.uk The lounges, bedrooms, etc. was everything that I was looking to put into our home. After making that first phone call I was instantly comfortable with Linda and after speaking for 10 minutes I knew Linda and Jo were the designers to help make my home amazing. At our initial design meeting I didn't realise so many fabrics, colours, material wall coverings existed, there was so many lovely things to choose from, but I didn't feel overwhelmed with so many as I was guided through the options carefully by the girls. We discussed what things I liked and disliked, Linda and Jo looked around the rooms of the house and seemed to immediately know exactly what we were looking for. The rooms were measured carefully so the quantities could be worked out and the furniture was made bespoke to fit our our home perfectly. Everything flows through beautifully, I still find myself walking through the rooms and feeling very proud of the house Edward Grace Interior Design had created for me and my husband. After a trip away with my husband I fell in love with the most amazing garden furniture which I thought would look amazing in our pool area. On our return I called Linda and Jo to came to see me with some brochures and now we have the most amazing pool area that Edward Grace Interior Design helped transfer into a glamorous spa room. Not only is their work professional they are both lovely girls and I am looking forward to working on our next project together, hopefully the garden.
Thanks again Kerrie x

I finally finished one of my largest pieces (48″ x 24″) of work to date, a multi-media arrangement with various hand prints and cut paper, and instead of feeling satisfaction, I feel dread. Ugh! I do NOT like this thing at all.
Honestly, I haven't liked it for quite some time. I was all over the place with technique and materials, and I never really had a vision. But I usually don't have a vision, so perhaps that's not quite it. It's that I never felt connected with it – there was no underlying energy making its way to the surface. But I kept going, because I was supposed to, because I wanted to finish a piece (even though I finished a few other small ones in the meantime), because the intention was to "play" and let the work "emerge" on its own.
Unintentionally merging all of those things – play, practicing technique, practicing with materials, pushing forward without vision or energy – resulted in one confused piece.
One reason I don't like it: it doesn't feel like ME. I resonate with most of the other work that I've been doing, the blueprint piece, the red hand, etc. With this piece, it feels like I am trying to be someone else.
Which leads to the other reason I don't like it: I'm pretty self-critical, which has no place here. While the criticism is probably justified, in that it is true that this piece just doesn't work, it is also true that it's time to let it go. I don't like it, end of story, so move on and try again. I'm learning to listen to my creative voice, using different receptors, and it takes patience. I know that all of our fearless leaders have gone this route – observe, reflect, learn, integrate, … repeat.

While Chris and I were at a party this weekend in San Diego running around getting some shotgun footage for episode 35, pitching HackCollege to normal party-goers got them talking about two things: online identity and blogging for their summer jobs. It was interesting to hear what fellow interns are doing for the warm months of the year.
Hate to say it, but even hip magazines are gutting it when it comes to blogging. Just because you publish it doesn't mean that it will get read. None of the girls mentioned anything about the technical requirements of blogging (SEO and such) or creating a two-lane highway of dialogue. Instead, they are told to blog about whatever and forget about the content afterwords.
Have You Heard of This Thing Called Blogging?
Blogging is regarded as an experimental, mysterious form of technology. But those who know how it works are going to get ahead in their summer job. If your employer has you endlessly crapping blog posts into outer space, try suggesting that they change their ways. Mention search engine optimization (SEO). Tell them about the importance of leaving comments on other blogs. Tell them that it's important for each author to have their own page and RSS feed. Then ask for a bonus.
So what do you think? Does your summer employer have you regurgitating their print information online in blog form? Or do they have you doing something else? And is blogging important enough to pay someone
nothing minimum wage for?

For about as long as there has been people, there have been men and women working to keep us healthy and, more importantly, alive. While truly ancient medicine is equal parts useful herbs and horrifying poisons, it actually didn't get much better until only recently. Until Louis Pasteur and others successfully demonstrated that bacteria caused disease in the 1850s, the dominant belief for hundreds of years was that air could "go bad" and that this caused pretty much all illness. In fact, malaria, now known to be a parasite, is actually Latin for "bad air."
By no means were any doctors before this stupid. In fact, working with the tools and knowledge they had, they were able to do tremendous things. And with each successive advance, we got closer and closer to the modern day, where many diseases have been all but eradicated, and treatments exist for thousands of conditions that previously would have meant a death sentence. Still, it's absolutely fascinating to look back and see what the most advanced medical technology was like in the past. Some of it is simply bizarre. Some of it isn't so different at all to what we have now.
1. Patients wrapped in ice-cold wet bankets for "hydrotherapy" at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, an asylum.
2. A 19th Century leech jar. So in demand were leeches that ornate jars like this could be found in pharmacies everywhere, with the day's fresh batch of bloodsuckers.
3. Radiology safety gear circa WWI. While many people were still disregarding the dangers of radiation, protection did exist.
4. "Sunlight" therapy, for babies. This was essentially baby tanning. It helped treat and prevent rickets, but nowadays we just get our vitamin D from milk or supplements.
5. This treatment for scoliosis isn't a terrible idea in theory, but we'd say the modern plastic braces are a bit less ostentatious.
6. This defibrillator is literally the first of its kind. The only real difference between it and modern ones is that modern ones have made the process much more automated, making it safer for the patient.
7. We're not sure why these heat lamp boxes died out. It's like a sauna that fits almost anywhere!
8. Dr. Crawford Long demonstrating how he uses ether to perform "painless" amputations. A lot better than biting down on a belt, at any rate.
9. It looks almost like a religious icon, but this tiny anatomical doll was used by doctors in 17th Century Germany to advertise their knowledge of female medicine. The expense of ivory combined with the subject matter was fairly similar to hanging a diploma on the wall.
10. Speaking of female medicine, this birthing chair from a hundred years later might seem pretty crazy now, but similar "birthing stools" have become popular in recent years.
11. The layout might seem a little odd, but those wheels are immediately recognizable and hardly different from a modern wheelchair.
12. Let's talk a minute about quackery. At the same time Marie Curie was cautioning people not to abuse radiation, less scrupulous "doctors" were selling radioactive water as a cure-all.
13. One thing that's truly come a long way, even in the past few years, is prosthetics.
14. The creators of these wood and metal limbs were dedicated and meant well, and probably improved the quality of life of many people. But nobody would want to strap one of these on in favor of a modern prosthetic.
15. For the younger generations, it's hard to imagine what a scourge polio was. If there ever was a poster for vaccination, it's this picture here.
16. Also touted for probably more than it could do, heroin actually was a pretty solid breakthrough in pain relief and is actually still commonly used in UK hospitals, even for labor pain. Yes, really.
17. Cocaine was even more ubiquitous. From children's toothache drops to Vin Mariani, a cocaine-laced wine endorsed by Queen Victoria, two Popes, Thomas Edison and Ulysses S. Grant, it was only after it became the drug of choice for employees seeking to get more productivity out of their laborers that people began to criticize it and eventually seek to ban it.

Ishii to return to the active roster on the 15th or 17th?
by Gen on Aug.11, 2010 @ 11:06 am, under NPB
Kazuhisa Ishii made his second rehab start at Ni-gun last night and faced the Nippon Ham Fighters. He tossed 56 pitches over 5 shutout innings and gave up a run on one hit and two strikeouts and did not walk a batter.
For the time being, it seems Ishii will likely make his next start at Ichi-gun on either the 15th (vs Orix) or the 17th (vs Softbank).

Recent efforts to change the European Union arms embargo with Syria were made to provide technical assistance, not to arm Syrian opposition groups, British Prime Minister David Cameron said during a Monday press conference.
Prime Minister Cameron made the statement as part of a joint press conference in Washington with U.S. President Barack Obama. Cameron was asked if it was Britain's intention to send weapons to the Syrian opposition forces if the arms embargo is amended or lapses.
"We have not made the decision to arm opposition groups in Syria," Cameron said. "What we've done is we have amended the EU arms embargo in order that we can give technical assistance and technical advice. And as I said in my statement, that's exactly what we're doing."
Cameron said the U.K. is continuing to look at the arms embargo and determine if further changes should be made to facilitate working with the opposition.
"I do believe that there's more we can do, alongside technical advice, assistance, help, in order to shape them, in order to work with them," Cameron said. "And to those who doubt that approach, I would just argue that, look, if we don't help the Syrian opposition -- who we do recognize as being legitimate, who have signed up to a statement about a future for Syria that is democratic, that respects the rights of minorities -- if we don't work with that part of the opposition, then we shouldn't be surprised if the extremist elements grow."
The two world leaders spoke during Cameron's visit about Syria and both countries' efforts to transition to a post-Bashar al-Assad Syria.
"We discussed Syria and the appalling violence being inflicted on the Syrian people," President Obama said. "Together, we're going to continue our efforts to increase pressure on the Assad regime, to provide humanitarian aid to the long-suffering Syrian people, to strengthen the moderate opposition, and to prepare for a democratic Syria without Bashar Assad. And that includes bringing together representatives of the regime and the opposition in Geneva in the coming weeks to agree on a transitional body which would allow a transfer of power from Assad to this governing body. Meanwhile, we'll continue to work to establish the facts around the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and those facts will help guide our next steps."

By Jamie Harrison
Two months ago, having just completed an event that seemed specifically designed to prove their point, USACA announced that they were abandoning domestic American cricket. Last weekend in Orlando, the American Cricket Federation demonstrated that those who follow the game in the States need not lament their departure.
In March, when the American Cricket Champions League was launched, many thought that ACF was being too ambitious, that American cricketers were not serious enough for a national domestic league. I was told that players would not regularly travel without the hope of a cash prize, or that American players were just too unreliable to organize and compete at such a high level.
They were wrong.
Throughout the spring and summer, seventeen cricket teams from across the United States played home and away matches, just as do teams in any other American national domestic league. They competed for regional division championships, just as do teams in any other American national domestic league. And the division winners then came together to decide a national champion, just as do teams in any other American national domestic league. And now, with that champion having been crowned, the teams have returned home to prepare themselves for next season, just as do teams in any other American national domestic league.
So, for the first time, the United States has a successful, functioning national domestic league. But why did so many think it beyond the reach of Americans to create and maintain such a competition? I suspect that critics relied on recent history under USACA as the wellspring of their cynicism.
What they did not realize, however, is that the failures of American cricket are not due to defects in American cricketers, or even American cricket leagues. The defects emanate exclusively from what has been for fifty years the ICC member in the United States.
When good people operate under the direction of corrupt and dysfunctional leaders, who conduct national affairs with a goal of accumulating power and insulating themselves from accountability, failure can be the only result. When good people discover that their leaders have no interest in them, and those leaders perpetuate a system designed to maintain a small clique that serves them alone, failure becomes unavoidable.
However, when good people are led by good leaders, who act out of selfless devotion to the betterment of the players and the game, success can be the only result. When good people discover that there is a governing body interested in the success of their leagues and their players, and those leaders create a system designed to raise the prospects of all Americans, success becomes unavoidable.
In light of these truths, no one should be surprised when USACA's endeavors repeatedly fail, or conversely by the tremendous successes which have come to typify the actions of the American Cricket Federation. How could it be otherwise?
And today, another slapdash American team, with players selected as much for expediency and political value as for talent, leaves totally unprepared (yet again) for another international tournament. USACA hopes that the natural talent of American players can overcome the huge obstacles their mismanagement has (yet again) placed before them. And perhaps it will.
But regardless of the outcome in Malaysia, if those who love the game in America ever want to see the United States rise to its potential, both domestically and internationally, it is now starkly clear that USACA must be removed. It must be finally and totally stripped of every last vestige of support so that we can move rapidly forward, especially for the sake of players who are losing the prime of their careers under USACA's destructive influence.
Those who have up until now supported the status quo because of benefits it brought to them personally must now rise above themselves and place the interests of America first. Those who bear the mantle of leadership must no longer bow before a tyrannical and despotic regime that brings only insult and pain to American players.
2014 will be remembered as a watershed year for American cricket. Going forward, history will remember only two parties: Those who joined hands to save the game in the United States, and those who stood to the bitter end with a corrupt and dying regime.
So, I ask you: When the story of American cricket's renaissance is written, and the names and associations are listed, in the time of decision, with whom will they say you stood?
And more importantly, will you be proud of it?

Two years ago an article was published on the site: http://www.plugincars.com/how-much-will-driving-electric-car-save-you-experimenting-flat-fee-charging-rates-53613.html
In this article the author, Nick Chambers, discusses how much he saved on fuel for using and maintaining his electric car. He mentions that he basically pays 1/3 of the cost of fuel to charge his car, and he also never has to take his car in for an oil change. This, I am sure, helps relieve an unnecessary headache. Getting oil changed can be a hassle at times, and now you can make one less trip to your mechanic. Personally I feel that the less time my car is in the shop the better.
Another great thing about this site is that if you scroll down to the comments you see other people's stories of how much money they have saved, and how much they save now that they drive an electric car. One person calculates that he saves over 1700 dollars (1150 British pounds).
