East of Grass Range the plains of Montana unfold in endless miles of stark beauty. Bear Gulch Pictographs bear evidence to the fact that people have inhabited the Grass Range area for centuries. Many paintings (pictographs) and etchings (petroglyphs) on the sandstone cliffs predate the arrival of the horse in the 1730s and are more similar to plains cliff art than to other pictographs found in Central Montana.
War Horse National Wildlife Refuge lies east of Grass Range. Part of the larger Charles M. Russell Complex, War Horse NWR consists of three semi-permanent lakes. War Horse provides habitat for many animals and upland game birds and when the lakes are full, provides important habitat for migrating waterfowl. Hunting, camping and hiking are available at War Horse.
Sorry, there are no events listed for GrassRange at this time.

The Undivided Past
Humanity Beyond Our DifferencesBook - 2013
From one of our most acclaimed historians, a wise and provocative call to re-examine the way we look at the past: not merely as the story of incessant conflict between groups but also of human solidarity throughout the ages.
Investigating the six most salient categories of human identity, difference, and confrontation—religion, nation, class, gender, race, and civilization—David Cannadine questions just how determinative each of them has really been. For while each has motivated people dramatically at particular moments, they have rarely been as pervasive, as divisive, or as important as is suggested by such simplified polarities as "us versus them," "black versus white," or "the clash of civilizations." For most of recorded time, these identities have been more fluid and these differences less unbridgeable than political leaders, media commentators—and some historians—would have us believe. Throughout history, in fact, fruitful conversations have continually taken place across these allegedly impermeable boundaries of identity: the world, as Cannadine shows, has never been simply and starkly divided between any two adversarial solidarities but always an interplay of overlapping constituencies.
Yet our public discourse is polarized more than ever around the same simplistic divisions, and Manichean narrative has become the default mode to explain everything that is happening in the world today. With wide-ranging erudition, David Cannadine compellingly argues against the pervasive and pernicious idea that conflict is the inevitable state of human affairs.The Undivided Past is an urgently needed work of history, one that is also about the present—and the future.

I bought some children's books today at Borders in The Gardens, Mid Valley. Below are my latest acquisition:
The Artemis Fowl box-set containing:
1) Artemis Fowl
2) Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident
3) Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
Three classic stories in one volume:
1) Charlotte's Web
2) Stuart Little
3) The Trumpet of the Swan
Got 'em from the "Bargains" corner and they costs MYR49.80 (USD15). These will be my FINAL purchases for now until I clear 50 existing books from my TBR. Until then, I'm on the no book-buying policy.

Distance from Henderson, IL to Posen, IL
Driving distance between Henderson, IL and Posen, IL is 184.18 miles (or 296.41 kilometers). If you drove an average car (using about 3.6 gallons of gas per mile), the gas would cost you around $, since you would need about gallons of fuel.
Leaving from Henderson, IL you would reach Posen, IL in about 2 hours 55 mins if you keep an average speed of miles per hour, assuming you don't make any breaks or get stuck in traffic.

Some places already have gender neutral restrooms and haven't had too many issues. Some people might think something along the lines of what would prevent a man raping a woman in a public restroom if restrooms were gender neutral - the same thing that's preventing a potential rapist from walking into a women's public restroom. The little plastic sign on the door doesn't stop someone who is considering committing a violent act.
Next week, I will be attending the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Creating Change Conference in Detroit. The public restrooms will be designated as gender neutral during the conference. I haven't heard of any problems in the 3 conferences I've attended.

Years ago a flue's integrity was tested by lighting smoke pellets in the fireplace and having a tester walk around the property, trying to smell where smoke is leaking into rooms. Flue Integrity Testing has come a long way since then.
Why is the old-fashioned pellet method flawed?
- Some leaks are too small to see or smell
- Human error and inexperience is a significant factor
- The result is subjective
- There's no way of identifying the amount of leakage
- Smoke pellets can damage furnishings
What are the benefits of a computerised Flue Integrity Test?
- It reveals facts, not assumptions based on the tester's experience
- It calculates the acceptable and actual leakage rate
- It gives you a clear pass or fail result
- No damage to your flue or furnishings
Before your Flue Integrity Test takes place, your flue needs to be professionally cleaned to ensure an accurate reading and minimal mess.
Once the equipment is assembled, we block the top of your flue and insert the analyser in through the base, ensuring it's fully sealed. Air is pumped into the flue and the analyser measures leakage. The machine produces a reading of both the permitted and actual leakage rate. This information will establish whether or not your flue passes or fails.
What do the readings mean?
Pass: This means your flue is considered to be working within safe parameters. It means your flue is sound and fit for use.
Fail: This means your flue is leaking more than it should and that a potentially hazardous level of fumes may be leaking into your home. In this instance, we advise you to stop using your chimney until further tests are carried out.
A CCTV survey will help to establish the exact nature of the problem so we can advise you of the best course of action.
Ask us questions about Flue Integrity Testing or book your test today by calling 01223 964803.

The way to my heart is through the neck of a vodka bottle, the gap between the front door and the local pub, my lips and a cup of black coffee at 6 in the morning, the soles of my shoes and the northern concrete, the space between me and you, the time difference between Newcastle and New York City, the thud of our heartbeats and the next touch of skin on skin. The feel of a fresh, crisp twenty in my hands, hot cookies, the smell of real leather on my shoulders and around my ankles, perfume that makes you remember something distant, the instant photos taken in a drunken haze, the screamed words and bitter slurs. The sticky mark left on the bar when the tequila runs dry, the murky puddle when the sun isn't quite out, the cold cup of coffee, the downpours, the black eyeliner and burgundy lipstick, the expensive dress only worn once, the paper shopping bags that are overfilled, the six inch heels that hardly ever see daylight, the bitten down nails, the karaoke music, the cheesy grins and the psychotic rages. The hearty laughter, the constant Friends repeats, the silly cravings and the mental notes, the feeling when you open a new book and the spine cracks a little. OCD tendencies, memorable quotes and sitting on curbs having tipsy conversations. The first breath you take when you're waking up and become aware of it, the summery daze drinking pints in beer gardens, the last words in your favourite song, the first time you meet someone, and the last time you feel alone.

Firsts, lasts and always.
The rain taps ever so slightly on my window pane, traffic gliding past once in a while. I hear puddles being disturbed, silence being temporarily broken. It's almost April 2014. I know right? Where did the time go? Where did the beginning of the year creep off to? I honestly have no idea. I've become lazier than ever, at home, at uni, just generally I'm in hibernation-mode. I feel like I've not read or wrote anything substantial in months. I probably haven't done enough work for uni, and my energy is just drained by the cold northern weather, the long, sleepless drunken nights and the few boringly jagged days separating the time between vodkas.
Somehow in the midst of the laziness I've pursued, I've managed to maintain something wonderful. A relationship with someone who is like my best friend. Yes, I'm a soppy bitch as of late, forever gushing about no longer being single, and my friends watch as the sides of my mouth turn ever so slightly upwards everytime I mention I start name-dropping or utter "boyfriend." You'd think I was 12 again, cringe. So the cramming must commence, I suppose. Seems like one thing starts and a hundred things end at once lately. I get caught up in the silly little things and zone out on big decision-making, important assignments and revision timetables.
This time next week, I will officially no longer be a second year uni student (minus the fact I have an end of year exam to sit in May, but y'know, basically.) This scares the hell out of me. Module deadlines. Word counts looming. The days are being crossed off, counted down, reminisced over. I want to bury my head under my pillows and leave all the important decisions to someone who doesn't drink 62% proof rum on a Wednesday afternoon, or tweet thirty times a minute. Perhaps. Then again, I've made a couple of really good decisions to outweigh the bad.

So indecisive, so adamant.
You don't mind me singing badly to Robbie William's greatest hits, or the fact I'm a tad neurotic and very, VERY high maintenance. The fact I can and do, on many occasions, quote Friends in real life situations. My caffeine addiction you seem to accept thoroughly. The way I can't walk past a mirror without checking my hair or touching up my make-up. Your willingness to let me get drunk and show you up, and yet you still pick me up when I fall flat on my face giggling. stop smiling Lukas. The days I don't want to speak, or get out of bed, or smile, and you let me do that if that's what I want. My stupid irrational shopping habits, my ambitious dreams, and my OCD tendencies. Knowing when to leave me alone, and fully understanding that sometimes, I just need to cry and have a massive hug. Knowing I gorge on stupid telly and will end up having an emotional breakdown every time something remotely sad happens in any programme whatsoever. [not that I ever do this, obviously.] You accept me drunk dialing you at 2am, and 3, and five. The fact it takes me about six hours to get ready for a night out. With a face full of make up, or totally bare. Knowing that I will go out every weekend, and moan about my hangover over and over until I can't take it any more. Staying up stupidly late with me because I just can't sleep. Coping with my sarcastic, bitter slurs at times, and banishing all doubts from my mind when I'm feeling really low. Telling me I look amazing, when I feel shit, holding my hand when I'm scared and encouraging me when I'm unsure of something. You are the reason my smile hasn't vanished in 78 days solid. The reason that 2014 is turning out to be one of the best, ever. The reason I wake up smiling and go to bed feeling content.

That's what I am, what I've always been. It's funny, it's silly and everyone gets a laugh out of it every now and again, but sometimes, I hate it. I hate the fact that I believe what I'm told. I'm trusting. I believe the people in my life, whether it's a big or small matter, because I have a tendency to lap up the information I'm given. Oh, and the obvious bit; I trust my people with my life.
It brands me "blonde" and "hilarious" and just plain "stupid" at times, and I think I just need to give myself a shake. I began writing this piece a while ago, and then stopped, probably because I was hesitant. Until maybe, it doesn't really matter. Until there's someone who likes that part of me, and then, I guess, that's alright too.

First impressions don't count.
It's mad, looking back. Today my sister and I were talking, and those old times kinda talks just drifted in and out of our minds. Remember when we used to be friends with [insert name] and when we used to spend all of our time [there] and, well, you get the picture.
It's all so chaotic. I have fragments of memories hidden in the shelves of my brain, and yet, certain things that didn't seem to matter at one point, really do now. Like, for example, as everyone says, first impressions count. Well, I can't remember the first time I met most of the important people in my life, because, I suppose, at the time it didn't really seem significant. A first conversation, an impression, a look, an action. Whether the first time you met me was drunk or sober, at 14 or 18, in a pub or a classroom or a bus stop, I probably couldn't tell you what I thought or what I said. If I do, you must be pretty damn special. (Either that, or maybe I was younger and just didn't have the opportunity to get drunk!)
But there are one or two I do remember. Not vividly, but in fragments, some pieces are sharp and clear, others are blurred around the edges, softer, out of focus. Maybe I remember the first thing you ever said to me, or what I was wearing, or what you were drinking, or the class we were in at the time. A smile, a laugh, a clumsy introduction. A handshake? A kiss? I'm damned if I remember. The significant people in my life are just that because of what they are to me now, what they've become, not who they were when I met them. I guess that's what fascinates me. You never know, when you meet someone, what they're going to end up meaning to you. That's kind of scary, but also kind of brilliant.

Plan B.
Wrongly, I've always been one of those all-my-eggs-in-one-basket kinda person. I throw every inch of myself into something if it's what I really want, in the same way I won't make the slightest bit of effort if my heart isn't in it. All my choices are based on what I really want, but there's always a little voice in the back of my head whispering something about a Plan B, a second choice, a back-up.
"Or you could always go into teaching?" I hear one of my relatives say when I tell them for the millionth time (vaguely) that I want to write when they ask about my career prospects and "what are you really going to do with a Literature degree?" My face expression goes blank. I don't even have enough self-restraint to hold the bored, unimpressed grimace back. It's too close to home. My face scrumples as if someone has just spat on the pavement in front of me, as I wonder how I can explain to the people who I love that the only thing I will ever consider doing and happily, is writing. It's unrealistic, ambitious, dreamy, naive, whatever. I've heard it all. It's arty, risky, "a tricky field to get your name known in" it's "not great money" and "not a steady wage" and "you'll never get a mortgage" and "how will you support yourself on that?" SHUT UP.
How I see it is this; I'm not choosing, even unwillingly, to get myself into 30 grand's worth of debt (bearing in mind I'm a normal person from a normal working-class background) and I can't even envisage how much money that actually is.. To then settle for something that doesn't make me happy. Something that makes my blood race and my veins pulse and my brain explode in ecstasy. It's what I want. Simple as. Back up plans maybe aren't for me.

I'm a sentimentalist.
Okay so let's get one thing straight. I'm one of those sentimental people who has the ability to fall in love with something in about three seconds flat. Whether it be a person, a material object or more commonly, and brilliantly, a line of a book. I have just picked up, and when I say just, I mean, like, literally (see my Instagram @eleanorward_ for evidence!) Rainbow Rowell's widely acclaimed novel Eleanor and Park. I have had this book, along with about half a dozen others, sitting on the draws beside my bed since around Christmas. The titles visible when I open and close my eyes, there when I wake and when I drift heavily off to sleep. There is absolutely no denying that literature may be my one and only true love. (Sorry, to anyone this may offend, it's nothing personal.)
But seriously, it's amazing. That feeling. I can't describe it in clearer terms. I just read half a page's worth; an inserted extract before the novel actually begins, and that's it. I'm in love. Properly. Like doe-eyed movie kinda love, intoxicated, overcome, totally and utterly seduced with the words on the page in front of me. If you know what this is like, you'll be pretty familiar with the feeling. My smile is happily escaping from my lips, as I get ready to discover a book that has been flung into my grasp too many times to even count. Plus, and this is the obvious bit (and I can't even explain why) I mean maybe I'm a narcissist, but I kind of like the fact I'm going to read a book entitled with my name (even partly so.) Vain or what? Who cares, let's do this.
You can very obviously expect a blog post/review/babbling document as a follow up in time. Oh, while I'm at it, with books and everything.. I finished Nathan Filer's The Shock of the Fall today, and it's brilliant. I loved it. YOU MUST READ IT. Even @nathanfiler favourited my tweet about it, so y'know, he even knows how good his own work is.

What does the 2nd Amendment Really Say?Written on November 1, 2013
There's no doubt that at some point in your life, you've crossed paths with the 2nd Amendment. You probably first read about the "Right to bear arms" in grade school, and most recently in the news that's peppered with school shootings and other senseless acts of violence. With all of the attention on the 2nd Amendment lately, a lot people still don't quite get the exact definition. One reason being that the actual text in the 2nd Amendment is rather vague. Another reason is that there isn't much out there explaining EXACTLY what the 2nd Amendment says. However, there are many interpretations on the Internet, with those explanations being a product of an individual point of view on gun laws. What may those points of view be? Let's first take a look at the actual text of the 2nd Amendment.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
When breaking it down, the term "Militia" means different things to people, depending on their feelings about guns. The people opposing guns can quickly find a definition on Webster's and tell you "Militia" means, "a part of the organized armed forces of a county liable to call only in emergency." They'll argue that the 2nd Amendment never said any about citizens being allowed to carry weapons, since this is their definition of "Militia." The others, who support citizens' right to bear arms will go also go to Webster's and argue right back that 'Militia" means, "a group of people who are not part of the armed forces of a country but are trained like soldiers." The argument from this side mostly comes with a quote from Thomas Jefferson, saying, "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny… the right to keep and bear arms is… to protect themselves against tyranny in the government."
Jefferson also went on to say that, "For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized militia is their best security."
If you were to conduct a little research on the Internet about the 2nd Amendment, you would stumble across more quotes from our founding fathers, supporting the latter point of view. Although vague, the definition of the 2nd Amendment makes a lot more sense if you break it down a little and take a closer look. The 2nd Amendment is not about giving one side (Government or Citizens) all of the power. It's about equality. It's a bit like a system of checks and balances. The government protects the nation and the people. But if necessary, the people need a way to protect themselves from the government, if for some reason tyranny arises. The only reason that this Amendment is interpreted in different ways is because certain people have abused their rights. These are people who don't deserve rights at all. And if you're from Kennesaw, GA , the 2nd Amendment is not only a right, it's the Law.

Is the only pure hydrocodone available without APAP Zohydro ER?
- Asked
- 9 Jun 2015 by jimschmid847
- Updated
- 17 June 2015
- Topics
- hydrocodone, zohydro
Responses (1)
In oral pill form, yes - Zohydro is the only game in town.
However, certain cough medication preparations such as Tussionex do not have APAP.
If you have a fairly good relationship with your prescribing physician, you could request he write a compounding RX to only contain hydrocodone. Many pharmacies in bigger cities can accommodate such prescriptions. It's a long shot, but worth a try.

New Tool From Guardian Retirement Solutions™ and Pension Resource Institute Allows Financial Professionals to Help Plan Sponsors Develop Best Mix of Service Provider Support
With the advent of fee disclosure and a complex, ever-changing regulatory landscape, The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (www.Guardianlife.com) and Pension Resource Institute, LLC (PRI), announced today the launch of The Resource Optimizer™, a new tool for financial professionals to use with plan sponsors to help them establish the need and value of service provider support. The Resource Optimizer™ enables clients to determine plan risks, employer needs and the opportunity costs of implementing a retirement plan.
"Fee disclosure, a changing regulatory landscape and broker/dealer restrictions on fiduciary roles are creating significant opportunities for both experienced financial professionals and non-fiduciary financial professionals, particularly in the small-plan retirement marketplace, which accounts for the vast majority of plans," said Jason Frain, Vice President, 401(k) Product Management and Development, Guardian Retirement Solutions™. "These changes are forcing plan sponsors to rely on financial professionals to provide education and actionable solutions for compliance challenges. Many plan sponsors lack the experience, time and resources to effectively manage these plans to help participants achieve successful retirement outcomes."
The Resource Optimizer™ includes a comprehensive Worksheet that determines the necessity of various services involved in the implementation of a retirement plan. The 15 question worksheet assesses a plan sponsor's needs and allows clients to discover plan risks and understand costs.
Frain added, "Guardian Retirement Solutions™ and PRI developed The Resource Optimizer™ to give financial professionals the tools they need to better serve their clients in this increasingly complex and competitive market. Financial professionals can use this tool to educate their clients about the activities needed for the delivery of an optimal retirement plan. They can then align these needs with appropriate service provider and specialist support uniquely suited for their client's plan and create the optimal mix of products and services to meet those needs."
For non-fiduciary financial professionals, The Resource Optimizer™ is an innovative service tool that helps financial professionals focus their efforts on service and education, rather than on investment advice. With many broker-dealers not allowing their registered representatives (RRs) to act as fiduciaries, RRs will need to reconsider their approach to working with plan sponsor clients. Once the support needs are identified, financial professionals can work with GIAC and other service providers on creating an optimal mix of products and services to help address these needs.
For plan sponsors, The Resource Optimizer™ clarifies some of their fiduciary duties under ERISA and identifies the specific areas where they may require professional assistance. The comprehensive Worksheet and Results Map demonstrate a commitment to plan governance and participant engagement and helps simplify what's required for maintaining a successful retirement plan.
"In light of the recent regulatory changes, we expect employers to devote more time to addressing retirement plan governance over the next two years," said Jason C. Roberts, Esq. Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PRI and Managing Partner of Roberts Elliott, LLP, a law firm dedicated to servicing retirement plans and service providers. "Small plans often lack the required processes and/or internal expertise to demonstrate compliance with all aspects of fiduciary governance, and many are considering outsourcing investment-related responsibilities to professional investment managers. ERISA guidelines require plan sponsors to determine not only if plan fees are reasonable but if they are actually necessary given the needs of their specific plan and its participants. Many tools have emerged to determine price competitiveness, but The Resource Optimizer™ is the only tool, of which I am aware, designed to identify which services may be needed based upon a plan sponsor's input."
Using The Resource Optimizer™, the financial professional can work with the small business owner to assess the value and need of service provider support and understand the opportunity cost of leveraging a service provider or performing the function internally.

The Financial Accounting Foundation's recently created Private Company Council plans to host its initial public meeting on December 6.
The meeting will take place at the FAF's offices in Norwalk, Conn., where the Financial Accounting Standards Board is also located. The FAF established the PCC as a replacement for the Private Company Financial Reporting Committee in response to complaints that exceptions needed to be made in accounting standards for privately held companies. A Blue-Ribbon Panel was set up by the FAF, the American Institute of CPAs and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy to meet for a year and recommend changes in standard-setting for private companies. It issued a report in January 2011 that eventually led, after some controversy about its structure and independence from FASB, to the creation of the PCC. The PCC will work with FASB to determine whether and when to modify U.S. GAAP for private companies.
The agenda items for the inaugural PCC meeting include an official transition from the Private Company Financial Reporting Committee, the FASB advisory-only body that was established in 2006. The PCC also plans to discuss FASB's private company decision-making framework, and the feedback received from stakeholders who responded to FASB's invitation to comment on the framework.
Members of the PCC will be briefed by FASB staff on private company issues and projects. There will also be a preliminary discussion of current FASB projects and previously issued standards relevant to private companies.
"The 10 members of the PCC are eager to begin addressing the critical issues facing users, preparers, and auditors of private company financial statements," said PCC chairman Billy M. Atkinson, who formerly chaired NASBA and was a member of the Blue-Ribbon Panel. "Our success will be based on collaboration and mutual respect for and between the PCC and the FASB, which I am confident we will achieve, and our ability to obtain meaningful feedback on all issues from private company stakeholders."
The inaugural PCC meeting will be webcast live at www.accountingfoundation.org. Those interested in observing the meeting in person must reserve a seat in advance, as seating is limited, according to the FAF. The meeting agenda will be posted in advance on the FAF's Web site.

Ringette Calgary's 40th Season
Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Ringette Calgary
by: Jocelyn Beswick, Esso Golden Ring Publicity Coordinator
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Ringette Calgary, so we interviewed a few long-standing members of Ringette Calgary about their continued devotion to the organization and what exactly Ringette Calgary means to them. We also discussed their involvement in the Esso Golden Ring Tournament, as well as their journey through the sport of Ringette from childhood to adulthood and the evolution of the sport throughout those years.
Laura Webb started playing ringette when she was 12 in Spruce Grove, then moved to Calgary in 1980 for college and played for the first "Belle Rep" team in Calgary. In 1981 Laura joined the board of Ringette Calgary as Publicity Director. Since becoming a member of Ringette Calgary 32 years ago she has loved every challenge and experience this organization has fulfilled in her career in Ringette, as a player, coach, board and committee member.
"Always the best memories [of Ringette Calgary] are the friends that you make […] but my best memory was when we first hosted the 1990 Ringette Championship. Calgary won in all divisions, still unprecedented. A pretty proud moment for Calgary."
Marlayne Brandsgard started playing Ringette in Thorncliffe in 1977, the first year it was introduced in Calgary. She played on Calgary's first "Belle Rep Team" in 1980 and the first "Deb Rep Team" in 1981. She attended several Canadian Ringette Championships and has since coached and managed teams. As well, her daughter played throughout the years and is a coach now as well. In 1992 she became the second employee of Ringette Calgary at a part-time level to assist the accountant and she hasn't ever left! Throughout the years she has volunteered on the NW Board and several subcommittees, as well as for 12 years on the Esso Golden Ring committee. In her own words, "I really enjoy the job, the people, the Board I work for every year, all the volunteers. It is a great organization – I love it. Ringette has always been a passion."
The constant themes throughout both interviews were universal and pervasive:
Passion: throughout their lives ringette is a constant, each volunteer involved in the sport is passionate about the sport and also about their involvement. Laura fondly reminisces about her involvement in Ringette throughout the years, "this sport and organization is about the friends you make and the relationships you have throughout the years, why their continued involvement is apparent. The truly special thing is I coached for many years […] really neat to see the players I have coached coaching their own daughters now." Marlayne warmly remembers, "the friendships, the long-lasting friendships I have made with people and to me it is always about the passion the volunteers have for the sport and the amount of time they are willing to put in – overall a good feel." Both mentioned how thy have found, cultivated and created friendships for life through this organization and this sport.
Leadership: Ringette Calgary as an organization demonstrates continued leadership within the Ringette community, in Calgary but also recognized regionally for their leadership and commitment to the sport and their athletes. "All quadrants [of Ringette Calgary] work together […] especially AA level," explains Laura. "You can't have the high-level programs without the base programs. Ringette Calgary ensures that [there is a partnership] between all quadrants." Relationships are facilitated by this organization throughout all levels of the sport and within the sports community. "Communication amongst our members and the transparency of the association and how it runs is fantastic," continues Laura. "[With the advancement in technology over the years] social media helps to engage the players as well."
Legacy: Ringette Calgary is creating a foundation for Ringette in Calgary, and together with the aforementioned leadership, combines to fulfill the foundation the athletes require in the community for continued support of their Ringette careers. Laura remembers the creation of the Ringette Calgary office, "started off with one person, then Marlayne was hired to help," as a groundwork of the legacy that is Ringette Calgary today. Marlayne has seen throughout the years that, "Ringette Calgary always strives to work together," the best example, in her opinion is the creation of the, "Ringette Rodeo single-handedly by one volunteer. Kids are coming out and didn't realize the sport is played on the ice." The Ringette Rodeo offers ringette gear for those that otherwise would not be able to participate or continue to participate in the game.
Regarding the Esso Golden Ring Tournament specifically, Laura went into the vault and found her favorite memory was to, "go to the bunnies/U7 game, reminds me they are the next generation, reminds me what I am doing it for. Those kids are so happy and I get such a charge of their jerseys hanging down to their knees […] and they go on the ice in packs […] something always makes you smile when you watch the little ones." Her fondest memory from an organizer standpoint was, "the camaraderie of the committee about 15-20 years ago […] there was a snowstorm and the highways were closed in the mountains. Teams from BC couldn't get here so that night members of the committee sat down and redid all the scheduling and the game sheets […] everyone pitched in and stayed up all night […] all the new schedules were taken to the coaches at the arenas […] unbelievable we could pull that off."
Marlayne herself has played in the Esso Golden Ring, as well as coached or watched her daughter play, and her favorite memory, "is the overall excitement [with my family] or in the office. Coming together of all the teams […] on registration night every year everyone comes in excited. That high energy is something I get such a charge out of." She wanted to send out kudos to all the volunteers, "I get emails afterwards saying it is such a well- run tournament and people are happy to be a part of it." Overall, we can see that the Esso Golden Ring and Ringette Calgary are important parts of the Ringette Community and of the people involved, each journey is full of passion, leadership and legacy within the community and we all feel blessed to be part of such a great organization.

Walang kapaguran! Duterte's long speeches extend GMA's birthday party to 2 days
As anyone knows by now, President Rodrigo Duterte can be unstoppable when he's in the mood to talk.
And in the mood he was when former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo celebrated her 70th birthday at her home in La Vista subdivision in Quezon City Wednesday (April 5).
The absence of media at Arroyo's birthday party did not deter Duterte from giving a lengthy speech after his arrival from engagements in Nueva Ecija and Pampanga, where he also spoke.
Like his other speeches, Duterte talked about a variety of topics before Arroyo's guests, including his favorite subject, drugs.
The President gave another speech after Arroyo presented him with a customized birthday cake.
Suffice it to say, Duterte's lengthy speeches extended Arroyo's party to way past midnight.

I skymningslandet1994 Marit Törnqvist
I shall never forget the day Herr Liljonkvast came to get me for the first time. There was a knock on the window. "My name's Herr Liljonkvast", he said, "I'm just tiptoeing about on the window-sills to see if there are any children who might want to come along to Skymningslandet. Perhaps you'd like to?" Of course I would!

I have written about this before, but it is always important to remember that Windows 2003 is quickly approaching End-Of-Line by July 2015. As I have stated before, it is understandable that companies may not want to migrate when an application works fine on Windows 2003. However, that's no only what matters. There are many aspects like security, features and possibilities of better productivity that should be considered.
Security has always been an issue, with every computer system since the early days of personal computers. With modern operating systems, the role of the manufacturer has gained great importance in making their customers safe. Even this manufactures was still activity researching and correcting the issues, there was always space for Zero-Day vulnerabilities and attacks against the operating system. Can you imagine now, the Microsoft is not going to create new security patches?
Your company, if public or in need to comply with market compliance standards like PCI or others, will need to either mitigate this risk by upgrading your machines or by accepting this risk. Make sure you are really (carefully) measuring the risks of continuing to run business critical applications in Windows 2003.
On the other side, since I have just arrived from Microsoft Ignite, I can see that Microsoft has been putting a great deal of effort on its OS strategy. They want to guarantee a great experience in a very secure environment.
If you have not started, there is always time! Hopefully, before Windows 2k3 goes EOL, you'll have at least put some thoughts on how to move on with a new Windows OS version.
Please review some resources below and happy migration:

Editor's Note: "This is the second in a three-part article discussing my approach to the Bible. Previous articles are listed below:"
Part 1 – How it fell apart
Part 2 – Real People, Real Times, Real Reasons…
The previous article discusses many of the explanations and reasoning behind why my faith in the Bible fell apart several years ago, but like many articles on this site it is important to understand that the story does not end there. I did not simply walk away from the Bible, tossing it aside as if it were simply a dated, fictional book with no value. I was, and still am, continually drawn back to the scriptures. There is something beautiful found within. While I lost the ability to experience divinity within because of the literal, inerrant requirements that had been placed on them; I continued to return to them time and time again. Something within those pages called to me, something within stirred my soul and continued to pull me towards a better understanding of scripture that allowed divinity to reveal itself, free of the shackles of my previous conceptions.
A Library:
Before we discuss how we read the Bible, it is important that we first understand that the Bible is not a single seamless work. There tends to be a common belief across modern Christian theology that the scriptures are not only inspired by God, but dictated by God Himself. This belief is central to the way much of the modern Church approaches their interpretation of the Bible and creates a belief that the Bible was written by a single author (God), arranged in the order we read it today, and meant to tell a complete narrative from the first page (Genesis) to the last (Revelation).
Instead I believe it is important for us to realize that the Bible is actually a library of books, written across thousands of years, by at least 40 different authors (although some academics suggest many more) and much later arranged in the order we currently read. Rather than a single narrative, these authors were writing at very specific points in time, each to a specific audience, and with their own specific stories to tell. It is vitally important to take each of the 66 books (81 if you're reading the Catholic Bible) on its own merit. We should make every effort to understand who was writing the book, who they were writing the book for, what those people were experiencing, and what story the author was attempting to tell that audience.
For example, understanding the origins of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible – Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) is crucial to understanding the story these books are telling. Traditional church history tells us that the text (except for the final 8 verses) was written by Moses, and finalized just before the Israelite's were to cross over into the Promised Land. As a result, it is read as a direct, personal account of the nation of Israel.
Modern scholars have come to a different conclusion. The current consensus is that the Pentateuch was actually composed by multiple authors, and that the accounts which were finally placed together were actually written over centuries and pulled together from as many as 4 different written or oral sources. In addition, many scholars also believe that the final versions that we read today were finalized during the time of the exile of Israel, some time in the 5th Century B.C. As a result, the text should be read more as the Story of Moses and Israel, rather than a direct, first hand account.
Why does this matter?
Whether we are discussing the earliest books of the Bible or those found in the New Testament, understanding not only the origins of those books, but also the times that they were written, and the audience that they were written to is crucial. If the Pentateuch is written directly by Moses, then we are reading a first hand account of actual history and direct interactions with God unlike any other human since. This belief leads to the scriptures being read as not only a direct account of history, but a direct account of the commands from God Himself.
If you instead believe, as I do, that these scriptures were most likely compiled in the 5th century B.C., pulling from a multitude of historical sources, directed to a specific audience, and meant to tell a specific story; then your understanding changes a bit. Rather than a direct account of history, I believe that the final texts that we read today were meant to reassure the Nation of Israel, after a time of great trauma, that their standing with God and the promises that entailed were not broken. The complete and accurate history was less important than the story of God's love, acceptance, and redemption.
The Stories Matter.
It is vitally important that all of scripture be approached with this level of detail and understanding. While traditional church views of scripture are useful, they should not define our entire understanding. We must attempt to understand not only who wrote the scriptures, but also the audience they are writing to, the circumstances that audience finds itself in, and what story they are attempting to tell.
Ancient history has never been written as we would write history today. In ancient history, the historical facts and details have never been as important as the story the author was attempting to tell. You don't need to look any further than the Gospels to see this in action. Here we have four separate accounts of the life of Jesus, each telling the story from a different perspective, with different accounts, and even with different timelines. We see that the author's are not simply trying to record direct history, but instead to tell a story. The writer's of the Gospels are editorializing, adding, removing, and reordering events to not only tell the story of Jesus, but to tell it to a specific group of people, living at a specific time, and for a specific reason.
As a result, it is important that we not approach scripture from a simple, plain reading approach, finding straight forward instruction and authority. Instead we must also consider the supplemental historical knowledge which can assist us in understanding the story that is actually being told, and more importantly, why that story is being told.
For Example:
The book of Romans was written to the church in Rome struggling with acceptance of Jews and Gentiles into a common audience. Many scholars believe that much of the book is a response to direct criticisms each group held of one another rather than a command directed towards them. Romans 1, for example, is often quoted alone in discussing God's wrath against the sin of humanity, but it cannot be held in context unless it is also combined with Romans 2. By combining Romans 1 with Romans 2, and also understanding the time and place in which the book is written, we find the context refocused on the Grace of God and the peaceful fellowship of believers rather than His wrath, anger, and condemnation.
1 Peter was written to an audience suffering and afraid from the persecution they were experiencing under Nero. It should not be taken as a direct statement that all Christians will suffer persecution, but that persecution was simply a result of humanity. All people, even Jesus, suffered; and suffering should not be considered a direct condemnation of us or the Gospel of Jesus.
Even the Gospels are not exempt. For example, it is widely believed that the book of Mark was written after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem around 70 A.D. Scholars tell us that the original text ends simply with Mary Magdalene and her companions finding an empty tomb. There is no reappearance of Christ as in other Gospels. Why might the Gospel of Mark leave out this portion of the story? Scholars believe that the Gospel of Mark was written, not only to retell the story of Jesus, but to remind the Christians of its day that the destruction of the Temple was not the end of their story any more than the empty tomb was the end for Mary Magdalene in her search for Jesus.
The Reluctance:
You see, understanding the cultural and historical issues that were present at the time of the writing of each individual book helps to illuminate the full story being told. For me, it adds, rather than detracts great beauty, hope, and fullness to the books.
But I do understand why so many people are reluctant to look at the Bible form different perspectives. Their identity has been created within this belief that the Bible as a literal, inerrant book; dictated by God. To look at scripture from a different perspective may result in their entire faith collapsing around them (as it once did for me). My goal is not to destroy the Bible for people. Many are not ready to consider other perspectives, and if you find great beauty and peace in the scriptures as you currently read them, then it may be wise to skip the rest of this series of articles. But for those of us who can no longer look at the Bible in that frame of reference and who have lost all faith as a result, I hope to reassure you of the beauty, divinity, and hope that still fills its pages.
I hope you join me through the rest of this series as we continue to look at the scriptures from a slightly different perspective, and in doing so, that you would discover the beauty, truth, and divinity within.

SAN ANTONIO (Nov. 8, 2017) — Pre-K 4 SA students exceed the national norm in kindergarten readiness according to an independent evaluation of students. For the fourth straight year, Pre-K 4 SA students surpassed averages in cognitive, literacy and mathematics despite beginning the year significantly below average.
"Pre-K 4 SA opened its doors in 2013 to 4-year-olds across San Antonio with a goal of delivering high-quality early childhood education to families who may not have access otherwise," Pre-K 4 SA Board Chair Elaine Mendoza said. "The results indicate we are succeeding in a big way. Each year, we prepare 2,000 more children for kindergarten, and over the long-term we are on track to change the educational and workforce trajectory of San Antonio within one generation."
Westat, Inc. conducted the planned study to measure the effectiveness of Pre-K 4 SA using the Teaching Strategies GOLD Assessment.
"Our teachers continue to perform well in classroom quality across all four Pre-K 4 SA education centers," Pre-K 4 SA CEO Sarah Baray said. "Our children came into pre-kindergarten significantly below the normed sample in five out of six GOLD outcomes. By the end of the school year, our students closed the gaps and were more than prepared for kindergarten and beyond."
The year four evaluation of Pre-K 4 SA was conducted during the 2016-17 school year and sought to address the areas of attendance, instructional quality, and kindergarten readiness. Pre-K 4 SA teachers were observed using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS). Results showed Pre-K 4 SA teachers demonstrate instructional quality above the research threshold in all three domains of emotional support, classroom organization and instructional support. These results indicate Pre-K 4 SA provides quality instruction that leads to higher outcomes for students. Results from a new assessment of executive function also showed Pre-K 4 SA scores higher than the norm.
"This study highlights the success of our teachers and students," Baray added. "We use this assessment, conducted throughout the year, to continually improve curriculum, classroom strategies and professional learning for our teachers and our district partners."
Pre-K 4 SA served 2,000 students during the 2016-17 academic year. Nearly 80 percent of students were low-income. Attendance rates have been stable since opening and average attendance for Pre-K 4 SA students was 93.6 percent.
