It is clear the Lord has been watching over Philip since the day he was born and one of these days I'll get around to writing out the story of Philip…it's really long to write up and I don't want to leave out any details…because they are all really cool.
In the meantime, check out this cool prayer from Windy & Mike Pratt. Windy is very gifted in calligraphy – a gift she's shared with us many times over (including addressing over 250 wedding invitations as a special gift 12 years ago!!!). They have also been praying for Philip for years now too – so this prayer is extra special!!!
Last night our friends the Oettingers brought us a delicious dinner (I wish I had taken a photo when they were here!) and we devoured it and then crashed.
We were all in bed by 7:30pm and asleep within minutes. Thankfully Rand and I were finally able to sleep past 2am (we made it to 4am this morning!) and Wes and Philip made it to 6:45! I would say we are getting much closer to being back to normal. Rand may even attempt school today and Wes is going to stay with Philip so I can go to my Pilates class. And maybe even sneak in a visit to my favorite healthy grocery/kitchen (as Rand calls it… "the smoothie store") – I've been craving it for the past 3 weeks so it will be a huge treat!!!!!!!!!
Wes and I are going to switch off being at home when Rand has to go somewhere or we have other obligations, but for the most part we are all trying to "stay in" as much as possible with Philip over the next weeks so he can acclimate to our home and yard and toys and schedule. We've moved around a lot in the past 3 weeks and he's moved several times in the past few years so, based on what is suggested by other adoptive parents, we're going to try our best to not overwhelm him! Of course, we will add being in the yard and going on walks because it is supposed to be beautiful this week and I am willing to bet sunshine is good for jet lag.
Thanks for continuing to follow along with us! I have been amazed at how many people – even ones I haven't done a great job at keeping up with (so sorry!) – have been so sweet and reached out to say they are following along and praying for us. A good thing about social media, for sure because it has been a huge encouragement to us.
P.S. As I write this, I can hear Rand teaching Philip how to say the names of all his friends and different models/types of cars in the background!

Life is about what we do while we are alive. There is no higher calling than to lessen the pain of others. This is what the Acton Lions Club and Lions International does.

Hang out at events, we will buy you a dinner at one of our meetings at Rapscallions and there will NEVER be any pressure to join. You have to want to be a Lion. Once you do, it will improve the meaningfulness of your life.
While we spend time with with our friends we made in the name of service, we make a difference in the lives of others in a way that helps us make great personal connections with key members of our town.
Acton Lions Club History
The Acton Lions Club, chartered in 1955, currently has 72 members who give their time freely to help those in need and the less fortunate. We meet each month for a 6:30 pm dinner meeting on the first and third Tuesday of the month at Rapscallion Table and Tap (5 Strawberry Hill Rd, Acton). An elected Board of Directors governs the Club, which meets monthly.
We are one of over 45,000 clubs that comprises Lions Clubs International, the largest service organization in the world with over 1.5 million members in 185 countries. Lions are known worldwide for eye research and their service to the blind.
Since 1955 the Acton Lions, now in their 62nd year, have contributed over $550,000 to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund, which is #2 among all Lions clubs in the State.
In addition to eye research, the Acton Lions provide support to many local charitable organizations and community efforts. We also award several $1,500 scholarships to graduating ABRHS seniors each year.

What a great location for a film festival and vacation tied into one. The month of October boast beautiful weather in the Florida Keys. Mild temperatures, tropical breezes and you can count on daily sunsets melting into the Florida Bay.
Key Largo is located just an hours drive south of major International airports located in both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. You will find a variety of accommodations to choose from. From breathtaking waterfront views to a tucked away room surrounded by lush tropical gardens, there is something for every taste and budget. The island is home to several "brand" hotels as well as many smaller resorts that are as well appointed and manicured as a five star accommodation.
Come for the festival... enjoy the islands.
Before, during and after the festival, plan time to explore just why The Florida Keys are often referred to as America's Caribbean. Key Largo stretches for 30 miles making it the largest of the Florida Keys. With Florida Bay on one side and the Atlantic ocean on the other there endless opportunities to get out on the water. Local captains offer dive and snorkel trips, offshore or backcountry fishing excursions and glass bottom boat rides. Local shops also offer kayaking or paddle board rentals with or without a guided tour. You'll find many opportunities for photographs crossing over bridges, visiting our bird center or swimming with a dolphin. If time allows, we are only a two hour drive from the southernmost point in the USA - Key West... the last of the Florida Keys.
And if you are still wondering if Key Largo is worth the visit ...

Some towns in this region recently learned they had been acting outside the law since 2015.
Fortunately for them, a petty-cash statute state lawmakers amended that year does not levy penalties for failure to comply, and the regulatory body for municipal finances is more interested in lending a hand than slapping a wrist.
"Our preferred approach is to work collaboratively with local governments to improve their business practices and overall fiscal health," said Brad Young, spokesman for the Office of the State Treasurer. "Part of the role of the State and Local Government Finance Division, as staff to the Local Government Commission, is to provide guidance to local governments on changes in general statutes that affect them."
The General Assembly in November 2015 amended the payment section of the statute on budgetary accounting for appropriations to allow use of petty cash "if the local government has adopted an ordinance authorizing the use of cash and specifying the limits of the use of cash."
For some towns, like Knightdale and Wendell, the rules didn't apply simply because they choose not to use petty cash.
But other towns that do keep petty cash accounts have only recently discovered the statute amendment. Both Garner and Zebulon adopted changes to their own ordinances on March 6 to conform to the not-so-new rule.
Garner Finance Director Pam Wortham's memo on the matter indicated the LGC notified the town of its missing requirements.
"Our staff does have finance officers on a mail list," Young said. "We consider ourselves a resource for finance officers in that aspect and have a pretty consistent email."
Zebulon Town Clerk Lisa Markland came across the changes in a UNC School of Government Listserv for town staff.
"Someone had asked about the ordinance," Markland said. "I knew we had a policy in place; we adopted one years ago. But as we started talking, they referenced this and I said, 'I need to look at it.' It appeared there were others in the same situation that hadn't done it."
Young said it is up to municipalities to determine how to best comply with changes that affect them.
But Markland said that's hard to do when the changes aren't clearly communicated.
"Sometimes, (a Listserv) is where you find about about things," she said. "There's so much in a session of the General Assembly. There may be so many obscure things that get passed that you've never even heard. As soon as we realized, we did what we needed to be done to put us in compliance."
Zebulon amended its policy to allow petty cash to be used for approved purchases of $50 or less that are clearly for a public purpose and for $50 or more with prior approval of the finance director.
Garner adopted an ordinance for a petty-cash fund not to exceed $2,000 and a cash-change fund not to exceed $1,500.
The petty-cash fund is to be used for purchases under $100. The cash-change fund will make change for residents and customers who pay in cash for town services.

CD: 2010 Transubstans
I first heard this album via the Garageland LP reissue not long after it was released (1992). Over time, I decided this is a title I didn't need, and sold it. Finally a CD reissue emerged in 2010 from the always excellent Transubstans label. The side long track alone is worthy of ownership - and now we have an excellent CD filled with informative liners.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- White Plains politicians, school administrators, and community leaders gathered together at Hamilton Avenue Wednesday afternoon to watch the city be named one of America's 100 best communities for young people by America's Promise Alliance, an organization founded by Gen. Colin Powell to promote initiatives that support higher graduation rates.
White Plains competed against 300 communities who applied for the award and received a $2,500 grant, along with 99 other winners.
According to the America's Promise Alliance website , White Plains stood out for its active parent teacher associations, robust Youth Bureau and programs, such as Step Up, which focuses on assisting young at-risk African American and Hispanic men, and the Westchester Jewish Community Service's Project Trust, which works with those who have witnessed domestic abuse.
Mayor Thomas Roach said it was validating to be recognized for White Plains High School's 85.7 percent graduation rate.
"Its tough to quantify the type of work we do and thats why Im so thankful to this organization for giving out these awards," said Roach. "When you watch the kids that we are graduating set out into the world every year -- coming from this diversity --with this great education that they have received, it makes you very proud to be a member of this city."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by funnystory, Mar 25, 2009.
Does the laser stop reading disk after using iso dumper too much?
its easier to post your question here
I've heard reports of it wearing out the drive if you are constantly dumping tons of games on your Wii.
Reports/rumors. Meh, same difference.
so it is probably not true...!!!
PS. At all...!!!
doesnt make any sense to me how it could stop working.....
I'm sure its happened to some people though. I actually read a post by a guy who had it happen to him after he dumped like a hundred gamecube games, so it might not be all rumor. Things can wear out after constant use.
well I'm really sure that if you dump 100 discs un-interrupted, you might damage your laser, but still 50 bucks for a replace is very cheap...!!
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about dumping games. To the OP, you should be fine.
But the thing I've noticed about it is that after its done dumping the disk, it is still constantly spinning. So if I leave it overnight it will still be spinning hours after its done.
Yeah tinny little defect..!!
why not just dump with a lg drive on ur pc ? i think it takes way longer to dump on the wii.
i mean hell even almost 2 hrs is alot with the lg drive.
Umm, not everyone has and LG drive. And it's more convenient to use a Wii instead of spending money on buying one.

You may think that your business is already over because your hard drive does not work anymore but you should not worry that much because there are some things that you can do that will allow you to recover the much needed data and transfer it somewhere else. When you do this, you can access it easily and immediately. When your hard drive fails, you cannot help but think about the times when people told you that you should not rely too much on your hard drive because eventually, your hard drive will fail. You may have forgotten about this until the time when your hard drive has broken down and it does not want to open anymore.
Your first reaction may be to panic because who wouldn't panic? You know that all of the important details about your business are all there. All of the contact information of your customers and other secret detail and top secret information about your business are all there. You may want to search for a company that can do effective data recovery services Toronto. Admittedly, this may be the easiest choice but there is a risk to doing this. If you have some files on your hard drive that you do not want to reach the wrong people, you are better off trying to recover the files in your hard drive on your own.
If you do not want to hire data recovery company in Toronto just yet, here is a method that you can do in order to recover the data on your own. The first thing that you need to do is to check if it is your hard drive that is the problem. There are times when you might assume that it is the hard drive when in reality, it is your computer that does not want to function. If this is the case, you can simply transfer your hard drive to another computer that will allow you to access your files again. Copy everything to be sure.
If in case you have transferred the hard drive to another computer and the files do not turn up then it is confirmed – your hard drive has failed and all of the things that you have placed in it may be potentially lost forever. Remember that the attempt in order to fix your hard drive can be very expensive especially if it has been a few days since you have first attempted to recover your data without the help of a professional company like Taking It Mobile Company. The more that you try to recover the data without any success, the less likely that you will be able to successfully recover it. If you want to spare yourself the trouble of undergoing some issues and stressing yourself further, it is best that you hire the right company to perform hard drive data recovery service in Toronto.
Do remember that if you still insist on trying to recover files on your own, you can expect that it is possible but if you would not do it properly; there is a big possibility that your files will be messy when you get them back.
