Sermon Series
Sunday Morning Bible Class
Sunday Morning Bible Class - Witnessing Workshop – Sunday Mornings!
Join us for Rally Sunday on September 9 at 9:15 in the Family Life Center. Our theme is "Victory Awaits!" Get ready as we have plenty to share with you that day about upcoming Bible Hour plans for 2018/2019. A short devotion will be followed by activities for adults and children. Adults can enjoy our mini-car show on the parking lot, and children will have an opportunity to race vehicles on our tracks. Oh, and don't forget our awesome themed snacks for the day. Our pit stop will have some fun food; let's see if you can guess what our menu will be when we eat spare tires, nuts and bolts, cars, traffic lights, and have a refueling station!
Wednesday Evening Small Group
C3. "Christ-Centered Connections,"
Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:00
Our Small Group Ministry - "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them" (Matthew 18:20). Don't know much about small groups but want to?! Don't currently have a small group but want to?! Just want to enjoy time together with other members of your church here at Beautiful Savior?! Then come!
Christ Centered Connections (C3) - that is what our focus is as a church - establishing lasting connections with other followers of Christ that encourage and equip the body of believers to remain steadfast and immovable in the faith into which we have been called. That is the focus of our midweek classes, our confirmation classes, our high school youth studies, and our adult small group bible studies.
1. The women's Bible Study meets in the library, continuing the study on "Broken Crayons", and the way that God continues to work through His broken creation to create wonderful things.
2. A NEW study starts this evening in the narthex, "Max on Life", where we will be talking about answers to some of life's tough questions, including discussions about prayer, pain, and hope.
3. A NEW study starts this evening in the downstairs corner classroom, "Fierce Love", where moms will discuss some of the challenges and joys of being a mother, as well as developing some practical tools for to care for self and family.
4. A NEW study starts this evening in the downstairs large group open space, "Titus", where we will walk through the book of Titus, and see how the role of a Christian is as valuable in our world today as it was in the first century.
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Those are the words written in Philippians 1:21. As people are introduced to the good news of Jesus, the Gospel, lives are changed. Beginning Monday, February 5 – 7pm, Chris Troester will be leading a small group study walking through the entire book of Philippians, where you will discover the Gospel's impact on the community of Philippi and its impact on us today. The group meets every other Monday in the Troesters' home. Contact Chris Troester (email@example.com) with any questions or to find out more information.
In-Home Bible Study
IN-HOME SMALL GROUP: The first commandment goes like this: "You shall have no other gods," and yet this is the commandment we break most often. No other gods? That is hardly the case, as there are often many gods waging war, battling for our attention and control of our lives. A new in-home small group led by Chris Troester called "Gods at War" is a six-week series by Kyle Idleman. This small group study meets at 7 pm every other Tuesday. The next session will be Tuesday, November 28. If you are interested or would like more information, contact Chris Troester at 816-365-3315 or Chris Troester.

Why: Everyone needs to learn and re-learn the basics! These teachings are God's true Word to us concerning our need for Him, our salvation through the cross, and how He delivers His mercy to us.Sign up at church or by emailing.

The next time you decide to try out Innsbruck's vaunted ski slopes, don't worry about having to check a snowboard on the flight in. That's because, as The Telegraph's Simon Khalil gleefully reports, there's a company there called Spurart that will sell you a custom-built, handcrafted board to fit your needs and style. What's unique about Spurart is that they don't build the board -- you do.
Here's how Khalil describes the Spurart exerience:
"Spurart, in Innsbruck, offers a weekend course at which, last winter, I did just that. For someone who struggles to wire a plug without following a YouTube video, the prospect of creating a piece of high-performance sports equipment felt daunting, to say the least. Fortunately, there was a team of experts to oversee my handiwork – including Michi Freymann, the former ski racer and Spurart founder, who has tested more than 15,000 pairs of skis."
The weekend course sets you back €790 (about $980), which is a heck of a lot but probably not much of a dent if you're already paying for a vacation in Innsbruck. For that price, you get an illuminating lesson on the delicate craft of constructing winter sports equipment. This includes cutting the template, sanding, shaping, affixing the base, installing metallic edges, applying the finish, adding the core, vacuum packing the thing, and baking it in a high pressure oven.
A few days later and you've got yourself a custom-built (by you) snowboard,
Watch below as Khalil details his experience and gives a newly-constructed board a test-ride on the Austrian slopes.

Art can help link all subject areas. It is helpful to link as many subject areas together as possible. Meaningful integrated curriculum must have a focus, theme or idea. Art helps students think outside of the box. Art helps students understand the concept that everyone views things differently. In science and math, there are formulas and methods for specific ways of doing things in those subjects. There is not much room for a students own way of thinking in those subjects. Art helps students to use their imagination. Since teachers have to meet standards, students are not always given the opportunity to use their imagination with their work. Art helps students express themselves. Art helps connect a wide variety of subject in a variety of ways.

Again, an easy one. Takes about 45 minutes, but half an hour of that is watching telly. Warming and autumnal. One rule. Use the best sausages you can find. High meat content, and peppery. They're the main event, don't be eating some breadcrumb and bollocks based nightmare. Those sausages are for a dirty Saturday fry up. Which is probably my favourite thing to eat. BUT NOT FOR THIS MEAL.
Measurements to your own taste. I trust you.
- Onion
- Garlic
- Peppers
- Tinned tomatoes
- Mushrooms
- Very high quality sausages
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Balsamic vinegar
Stick the sossies under the grill to cook while you prepare the tomato and peppers.
In an ovenproof saucepan , sweat the onions, garlic, mushrooms and peppers, adding thyme, oregano and balsamic towards the end, as everything softens.
Add the tinned tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes or so adding salt and pepper, and cooking out till savoury rather than bitter.
Put the cooked sausage in the tomatoey peppery ragu. Shove in the oven at around 180c for half an hour, when thick and ever so slightly burnt on top.
Serve with bread and some greens.

Illustrated Briefs for Family Historians
The Scarlet Gunner recognises that there is growing interest in family history research but less and less first hand experience of life in the (British) Armed Services. To make up for this, we offer short written and illustrated briefs on life in a particular service or Regiment in a specified past era. To be able to do this we need to be given available details of the family member whose probable life this is intended to illustrate.
It is not possible to standardise this treatment and we take each case individually – you may want only a coloured picture of servicemen of the day, or you may wish to have much more. We make a small charge for this – you may be surprised at how small!
Contact us for a discussion. We would like to help you.

How To Make A Primitive Bow...Best Guide On Net
Probably the best bow making guide on net! Part 1 how to make a primitive bow. This video covers selecting wood, splitting the log, and basic wood removal and shaping with a draw knife. More videos will follow showing the entire process, from start to finish. Videography, storyline, narration and editing by: Billy Berger.
Part 2 of this series covers wood structure, how to establish one growth ring on the back of the bow for both hickory and osage orange, major wood removal, shaping the limbs, and shaping the handle.
Part 3 video shows how to straighten one limb that is slightly out of line and how to tiller the stave. This is where the static piece of wood becomes a dynamic weapon: the bow.
Part 4 of series: (www.primitivepathways.com) The conclusion to Making a Primitive Bow series. This video covers shooting and finishing the bow, as well as some bow designs that will help increase the performance and stealth of your new hunting weapon.
A 45 pound draw hunting bow has the killing ability of a 30-06 rifle
(This is information every American could use if the US continues to become a socialist/communist/dictatorship. Obama is hell bent on banning guns and ammo. He and his fellow comrads will continue to strip Americans of their freedoms. Obama and his fellow traitors will try to make you and I individual "gun free zones". Obama can't ban your ability to make and use a primitive bow although he would if he could just because it can also be used as a defensive weapon like a gun.)Story Reports
While you still can you might want to get the recurve bow below before obama and his fellow conrades force you to "register" your bow!
Samick Sage 62" Takedown Recurve Bow Review / Recurve Bow Shooting
A review I read about the Samick Sage 62" Takedown Recurve Bow.
For the advanced/expert it will definitely put a smile on your face and leave you with the "drop-jaw" amazement. For the intermediate, this bow will enhance your shooting fun and will definitely assist you in your progression. For the beginner, this bow is so forgiving that you will be shooting above your level, even if you know little about the tuning process and happen to be a little off.

This is when we start to see the bad side of Cassidy. I didn't care for the love triangle story arc. But that is a small complaint compared to the awesomeness that is Preacher! Still a great read!
Like the previous five Preacher trades, this story arc is gratuitously violent, profane and contains a predilection for bawdy humour. That said, the yarns are entertaining, the confrontations are knock-down-drag-out, and the characters - especially the tough-but-erudite Preacher character, Jesse Custer - are a [insert profanityof choice, here] are great fun.

Foyles, 107 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0DT
Tel: See Department List below
Fax: + 44 (0) 20 7434 1574
Email: See Department List below
The nearest Underground station to Foyles is Tottenham Court Road, which is on the Central line and the Northern line. Alternatively Leicester Square, which is on the Northern and Piccadilly lines, is a 5 minute walk from the shop.
The new Foyles flagship at 107 Charing Cross Road houses a range of over 200,000 different titles on four miles (6.5km) of shelves - the equivalent of lining one bank of the Thames with books from Battersea Power Station to the Tower of London. With 37,000 square feet of retail space, spread across eight alternating foot-plates over four floors, it is the largest bookshop to have opened in the UK so far this century. Alongside books, we have a wide range of gifts and stationery, magazines, printed music, classical music CDs and Classic and World DVDs as well as Ray's Jazz, Grant & Cutler Foreign Languages, a Cafe and an Auditorium. An impressive full height central atrium and large windows fill the space with natural light, while the layout allows for easy navigation and the serendipitous discovery of new books.
While the new shop was being built, we ran a competition with ten illustrators from Central Saint Martins to create illustrations for a large-scale building wrap to cover the new building while it was under construction. Artist Rebecca Hendin's entry was selected, commissioned and on the facade of the building until late last year. In January 2015, we were delighted to hear that her design had been awarded bronze in the advertising category of the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles Awards.
Foyles, which was founded in 1903 by brothers William and Gilbert Foyle, first opened on Charing Cross Road in 1906 and moved to its location at 113-119 Charing Cross Road in 1929. Declared by William Foyle to be 'the world's first purpose-built bookshop', it quickly became one of the capital's most well-known literary landmarks. William's daughter, Christina, built friendships with some of the leading writers of the time and pioneered bookshop author events, beginning a lecture series in the 1920s and founding the famous Foyles Literary Luncheons in 1930. The move to 107 Charing Cross Road in June 2014 marks a new chapter for our world-renowned, family-owned bookshop.
We employ more than 80 expert booksellers who will be happy to offer any help or advice you may need. Whilst these days most bookshops are stocked by books bought centrally from head office and distributed across the chain, at Foyles our heads of department are also our buyers, so they truly are experts in their stock and subjects.
You can find out more about the history of Foyles here.
In 2011 Foyles were extremely proud to acquire the business of Grant & Cutler and welcomed them to our flagship store and our website. Established in 1936, Grant & Cutler are the UK's largest foreign language bookseller.
To contact one of our departments, please use the alphabetical list below.
Following on from last year's hugely popular takeover, our flagship Charing Cross Road shop has once again devoted its entire central atrium (and windows, and display tables) to a record number of Penguin books.
We've got some great new books (check out Michael Pollan on the history and future of psychedelics) and rediscovered classics (like the 1961 Lagos-set Jagua Nana) alongside perennial bestsellers (still not read Why We Sleep?)—with a special focus on their stellar paperback non-fiction, adorned with iconic orange spines. So head instore and browse some of the best contemporary publishing—or, if you can't make it, take a look at some of our favourites below!
A fascinating exploration into the evolution of the mind. Drawing on the ideas of Descartes, Darwin and Dawkins and at times suggesting that regardless of the insights that have been made in the past 200 years into how the mind works it may very well have originated in what is referred to as the "mindless process of natural selection..". Essential reading for anyone who's questioning continues amidst such seismic advances into both technology and neuroscience in recent times.

If, like me, you're more than a little scared and angered by the world we find ourselves living in, this book offers something important – hope. Klein starts by setting out how we've managed to get here, and the terrifying things we can expect to see over the coming years, but then moves on to set out a coherent, cohesive and holistic set of ideals on which to base a radically different society on. Based on The Leap Manifesto these ideals set out a way that we can live in a truly equal and sustainable world. It is no longer enough to simply say no, it is time to offer something different.

ELK GROVE (CBS13) – A teacher who was removed from his job last spring at Cosumnes Oaks High School in Elk Grove after allegations of sex with a student came to light, was arrested and booked into jail earlier this week, according to a statement from the Elk Grove Unified School District.
On Monday, Monte Reed was arrested in Long Beach by Los Angeles Sheriff's deputies and booked Thursday into the Sacramento County Jail on charges of sexual intercourse with a minor under 16, oral copulation with a minor under 16, penetration by a foreign object with the victim under 16 (the suspect over 21), and molestation of a child under the age of 18.
A team of counselors was made available to talk with staff and students at Cosumnes Oaks High who may be distraught by the news.
Parents have also been made aware of the arrest, the district says. The district credits students, staff, and parents for bringing the claims against Reed to light.
Reed's bail has been set at $300,000.

A Generalized Porosity Formalism For Isotropic And Anisotropic Effective Opacity And Its Effects On X-Ray Line Attenuation In Clumped O Star Winds

Published In
Monthly Notices Of The Royal Astronomical Society
We present a generalized formalism for treating the porosity-associated reduction in continuum opacity that occurs when individual clumps in a stochastic medium become optically thick. As in previous work, we concentrate on developing bridging laws between the limits of optically thin and thick clumps. We consider geometries resulting in either isotropic or anisotropic effective opacity, and, in addition to an idealized model in which all clumps have the same local overdensity and scale, we also treat an ensemble of clumps with optical depths set by Markovian statistics. This formalism is then applied to the specific case of boundfree absorption of X-rays in hot star winds, a process not directly affected by clumping in the optically thin limit. We find that the Markov model gives surprisingly similar results to those found previously for the single-clump model, suggesting that porous opacity is not very sensitive to details of the assumed clump distribution function. Further, an anisotropic effective opacity favours escape of X-rays emitted in the tangential direction (the venetian blind effect), resulting in a bump of higher flux close to line centre as compared to profiles computed from isotropic porosity models. We demonstrate how this characteristic line shape may be used to diagnose the clump geometry, and we confirm previous results that for optically thick clumping to significantly influence X-ray line profiles, very large porosity lengths, defined as the mean free path between clumps, are required. Moreover, we present the first X-ray line profiles computed directly from line-driven instability simulations using a 3D patch method, and find that porosity effects from such models also are very small. This further supports the view that porosity has, at most, a marginal effect on X-ray line diagnostics in O stars, and therefore that these diagnostics do indeed provide a good clumping insensitive method for deriving O star mass-loss rates.

Birmingham History!
Birmingham's past undoubtably goes back as far as the Bronze age and beyond. However, very little remains from this era except the scattered flint stones and bronze artifacts that can be found in the city museum. Early Roman military roads have passed through the region. Anglo-Saxon tribes started to settle in the region around 700 A.D. Tribes such as the Hwicce and Anglian Mercians started to make the area their permanent home. Evidence of Saxon settlement is apparent from the name endings of some of Birmingham's well known localities. The suffix -ley means clearing in a forest. Therefore Selly, Yardley, Moseley and Warley are likely to have been Saxon clearings. Other place names also carry the names of their founders. The town of Birmingham was a hamlet hence ending in ham. The followers of the ingas of Birm or Beorma completes the equation and demonstrates how many town names carry the names we have today. Medieval and subsequent Norman occupation also added to the variety of interesting place names, the origin of which is often buried in a murky past. An example of medieval remains can be found at Weoley Castle.
The Domesday Survey of 1086 (Domesday Book)
Leading up to the time of the Domesday Book, the independence of the scattered communities had started to fall under the control of the large landowners. Dudley Castle under the Norman William Fitz Ansculf was a prominent influence over the region. The Domesday book of 1086 values Birmingham manor at £1. Peter de Birmingham, holder of a manor worth considerably less than neighbouring areas such as Yardley and Handsworth, was the first recorded Birmingham. At the time there were five villagers and four smallholders with two ploughs. The most populous area at Aston records 43 adults.
Aston Parish History
The next recorded entry of significance comes in 1166 when Peter de Birmingham bought the right to hold a weekly market in his castle. The market prospered and Peter laid the foundations of the town of Birmingham. In 1232 a group of citizens formalised an agreement with William de Birmingham which freed them from the compulsory haymaking duties. The tradesmen and merchants were almost undoubtedly involved in the new and lucrative cloth industry. Birmingham had started its long and winding road to manufacturing.
Birmingham on the Map
Birmingham continued to expand and by mid 1300's the town was listed as third town in size in the county of Warwickshire. Coventry and Warwick were larger. Aston, once the larger settlement now became Aston beside Birmingham. The Birmingham market grew from strength to strength with traders selling their cloth ware and metal goods. The castle of Birmingham, a focal point and power base for the town was influential in providing assistance for new chapel's, the Guild of the Holy Cross in 1392 and a chapel of St. John the Baptist at Deritend for the parishioners of Deritend and Bordesley. Between 1400 and 1450 a new Guildhall and a school were added. Birmingham had its first eductational facility. The castle's dominance was not to last. After a period of decline the castle lost its importance and influence.
At the time of Edward de Birmingham in the 1530's the manor was lost after Edward made enemies at court who confiscated his property. He spent 4 years in the tower of London and by 1538 he had died. The end of a family line, his wife Elizabeth continued to live in the town for some time after Edward's unfortunate downfall. The manor, a possession of the crown, later passed to Lord Lisle of Dudley in 1545. Lord Lisle later became the Duke of Northumberland and the most powerful man in England during the years of Edward VI. Birmingham was becoming more of a town in its own right. No longer under such heavy influence of the whims of the current landlord the officials of the town could plan its destiny with little interference. Trade and manufacturing industry was starting to take hold. Birmingham was already known for its metalworking. In 1511 the Clerk of Ordanance placed an order for horseshoes and weaponry for the Royal Army. Trade links were being forged with East Anglia and Bristol. The tanning industry was also thriving.
Birmingham Expands
In the early 1500's the population of the town of Birmingham was reaching a 1000 inhabitants. The thriving local industry was already setting the scene for greater things to come. Enter the 1600's. Things were starting to change. A prominant and wealth landowner by the name of Holte commissioned the building of a large country house in the 1620's. Completed in 1634 it stood magnificient as it does today, standing in its own grounds, a testimony to the wealth and status of the Holte family. Sir Thomas Holte, Lord of Aston manor had made a tidy sum from the breaking up of the churches and was well in with the the crown. Sir Thomas was not the nicest of gentry having taken a cleaver to one unfortunate cook, killing him in the process. Aston Hall is one of the great Jacobean country houses of England. The Holte's family seat was at Duddeston Hall. King Charles paid him a visit in 1642. A turbulent period of English history, the civil war, was soon to begin. Charles I, seeking allegiance in Birmingham was enraged that the Royal baggage train was looted and the goods sent to the Parliamentary cause. Prince Rupert descended on the town and meeting little resistance proceded to remind the townspeople of their duty to the crown by terrorising the local inhabitants . Birmingham thereafter was in favour of the Parliamentary forces.
The civil war came and went. Birmingham surpassed Coventry in size and status making it the largest town in Warwickshire. In the mid 1600's, with a population of some 7000 inhabitants, William Westley by 1700 drew up a town plan and calculated the population of Birmingham as 15,000. In fifty years the doubling of the towns population was caused by immigration from the surrounding towns and villages. Birmingham was gaining a reputation as a town where things were progressing. A trading and manufacturing town of status. Nails, metalwork, and anything in iron was being exported to London and Europe. Birmingham had a monopoly. The change to industrialisation had taken hold. Mills sprang up all around the town. Corn mills were being converted to the production of metal rolling and ironwork. An example of this which survives to this day can be found at Sarehole Mill.

I wanted to wait until January was over to share this Chocolate S'mores Cake with you because I know a lot of you were focused on getting back into your healthy habits for the new year, and I didn't want to be a source of cruel temptation.
But now that we're into the thick of February, which might as well be national chocolate month if it isn't already (is it? Nope. I just googled. National chocolate day is Oct. 28 though so mark your calendars), and we're only a week away from Valentine's Day, I figure we're in safe territory.
First of all, I'm obsessed with all things S'mores. This Chocolate S'mores Cake has been swimming around in my brain for months now, and although I am in no way claiming to be the first person ever to bake a s'mores inspired cake, I had yet to come across one that had been assembled exactly the way I was picturing it in my head. Even when I explained it to a friend she had a totally different idea- who knew s'mores cakes could be so subjective?
So let me break down my rustic version of a Chocolate S'mores Cake for you: I wanted a smaller (6 inch), tall (as in 4 layers) chocolate cake. In between each layer is a homemade marshmallow fluff with a graham cracker crumb swirl, and instead of frosting- because you want to be able to see all that gorgeous white fluff- chocolate ganache dripping down the sides.
Then to top it all off more marshmallow fluff that's been toasted OF COURSE, and a little extra sprinkle of graham crumbs. Side note- making marshmallow fluff from scratch is so not hard and very worth it. I made mine with honey rather than corn syrup. The honey flavor comes through and complements the graham cracker, and also lends a natural, homemade flavor that ties in with that whole rustic vibe I was going for with this S'mores Chocolate Cake.
Maybe it's because I don't really have it in me to meticulously decorate a cake, but the naked style just appeals to me more. Call me lazy…I especially love it with this particular cake, because look how the clouds of fluff are puffing out in between each layer. Just YES. It reminds me of a giant stack of Oreos, and it gives the cake a sort of towering and whimsical feel.
But don't be concerned about the cake being precarious or unstable, it actually holds together very well and you're able to slice into it quite neatly! Just make sure to chill it a bit before serving so that all the layers have a chance to settle and set.
If you make this Chocolate S'mores Cake, please share a photo on Instagram and tag #LePetitEats. I'd love to see it!
Chocolate S'mores Cake with Homemade marshmallow Fluff
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/3 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup corn syrup or honey
- 3 large egg whites room temperature
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 graham crackers broken into fine crumbs
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray four 6-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, espresso powder and salt.
Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients, and pour in the oil, vanilla, vinegar and cold water. Stir to combine very well.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely.
Make the marshmallow fluff by placing water, sugar and honey in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine. Insert a candy thermometer into the pot and heat over medium-high.
Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer. When the sugar syrup reaches about 225°, begin whipping the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
When the sugar syrup reaches 240°F, remove from heat. Turn mixer to medium and very slowly and carefully pour the sugar syrup into the whites in a thin, steady stream.
Set mixer to medium-high and continue whipping until thick, fluffy and glossy, about 6-7 minutes.
Add in vanilla and whip gently until incorporated. Spoon about 1/3 of mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and set aside. Swirl half of graham cracker crumbs into the mixing bowl with the remaining marshmallow fluff and set aside.
To make the ganache, place chocolate chips and butter in a small saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring constantly once the chips begin to melt, until mixture is smooth and pourable. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a layer of the marshmallow fluff from the mixing bowl over the cake, making it level. Top with a light layer of graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with remaining cake layers, marshmallow fluff and graham cracker crumbs, reserving a small amount of crumbs for the top of the cake and taking care to ensure that each layer is smooth and level.
Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides a bit. Place cake in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
When the ganache has set, remove from refrigerator and pipe rounds of marshmallow fluff around the top of the cake. Lightly toast marshmallow fluff using a culinary torch. Sprinkle top of cake with additional graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate until just before serving.

Play the halls
See the stalls tonight
Open roads the like
Across the dateline change will never strike
Australia lies ahead
Australia, we head for the mainland
Clutching our gifts from the East
Only to find out
Planes and the highways
strain the paths and the by-ways
Remain, still it's leading me
Closer to you
Australia, we're leaving you behind
Australia, we're taking the easy way out
>From now on
"Come to Australia," can't get away from ya still
"Come to Australia, we'll take good care of ya."
Australia, you save your face while fashions slip
Australia, you're balanaced between
The powers' tightening grip
I've been to Australia, it's a long way for ya still
"Go via Australia, they'll take care of ya."

Lebaran Holiday Essentials
It's good to know that a long holiday is approaching in a couple of days. I don't have any big plans this season. Maybe just hang out, have coffee, and finish piles of work. I've been really busy in taking care of my brand, Oudre. It's something I am always grateful for. Although owning a clothing brand is not as glamorous as what people usually think, I am pretty much content with the decision I made earlier this year.
Despite the holiday rush, it was a breather that Indonesia-based shoes and accessories brand evb* was kind enough to send me a stylish pair of heels and studded sling bag from their latest collection. Just in time for me to update my footwear and bags this Lebaran.
When I first heard of evb*, it reminded me of a shoe brand from Singapore, Everbest, and boy was I true. They are apparently under the same retail group. No wonder it has the similar style and feel with Everbest, but evb* caters more to young women and also has a more affordable price range. If you're looking for something that's on trend and also not as expensive, evb* is perfect for you! They have stores at Gandaria City, Mall Kelapa Gading, Paris Van Java Bandung, Galaxy Mall Surabaya, Centrepoint Medan, Mal Ska Pekanbaru, Plaza Balikpapan, Manado Town Square, Mal Panakukang, Mal Ratu Indah, Trans Studio Makassar and their recently opened shop in the heart of Bali- conveniently located in Oberoi, Seminyak. You can check out their latest collection in their outlets nearest you.

|Kedma Pumps.
|Fleur Bag.
I really love Kedma, their dark strappy stiletto-style pumps and Fleur, their red chain sling bag with studded details! Sometimes when I dress up, it's not just about the clothes, and I love how I can play around with accessories and make up to build up the whole look. Simplicity is the best. The key is, you don't have to overdress to impress. I prefer bold colors for my accessories cause most of the days, I am literally wearing basics. With bold-colored accessories, it helps to bring out the whole look.
It was a lovely day and I just could not wait to wear my new babies out! Heading out to meet up with my friends and I thought the sling studded bag went really well with the floral print top I was wearing. By adding this bag, it really pumped up the whole look, don't you think so? Like what I said before, the key is to dress up the basics with stand out accessories. Always remember that accessories are the exclamation points of a woman's outfit.

It isn't often that accountants are advised to put aside their copies of the Master Tax Guide and U.S. GAAP manual and turn to "Hamlet" and "Great Expectations" for guidance. But when it comes to unmasking potential fraudsters and embezzlers, the classics can offer some pointers.
Don Rabon, president of the consulting firm Successful Interviewing Techniques in Hendersonville, N.C., talked about how to apply lessons from the classics when interviewing suspected scammers during a workshop at last month's Association of Certified Fraud Examiners global fraud conference in Las Vegas.
"You can question people like Socrates, you can detect deception like Diogenes, but if you can't influence people like Aristotle talked to us about, then we're going to have to be packing up and moving on," he said.
As a former deputy director of the North Carolina Department of Justice's North Carolina Justice Aacdemy, Rabon noted that over the course of his career, he has given depositions in federal trials, testified in state courts, and stood before boards of directors when people's jobs were on the line. For many investigators, the difficulty is not so much with their ability to ask questions or even evaluate the subject's veracity.
"It's always been about the persuasion process," said Rabon. "Interviewing is a serious business, particularly for those of us that have had to get people to tell us things that are going to be detrimental to either them or somebody else. What I want to do is to show you ways that you can persuade that person without it becoming problematic for you down the road."
By studying classic literature, he suggested, fraud examiners can gain insights into the interview process. "Read the classics," Rabon advised. "The classics are nothing more than psychology books with no Cliff Notes. If you want to gain that quick understanding of human motivation and human dynamics, particularly as it applies to fraud, then read the classics."
Lessons from Dickens
He cited Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" and the passages where the ghost of Jacob Marley questions his former counting-house partner Ebenezer Scrooge, who is later confronted by the spirits of Christmas past, present and future. "In our interviewing responsibilities, we have to bring the individual's past behavior and past actions into the interview," Rabon pointed out. "We have to have the individual in the interview look at the situation that they find themselves in at the present. And then, as Ebenezer Scrooge said to the Ghost of Christmas Future, 'I fear you the most.' Our job is to have the individual address the consequences of the future and try to make our presentation of the dour consequences of the future as powerful as possible."
Another Dickens classic, "Great Expectations," provides a different approach to interviewing suspected fraudsters that Rabon has discussed in previous workshops. "We looked at all the different places where Dickens addressed the micro-expressions of the interviewee," he said. He compared it to psychologist Paul Ekman's modern-day book, "Emotions Revealed," which describes his study of "micro-expressions" of the face and body and what they reveal about emotions.
"Dickens was talking over 150 years ago about exactly what we have come to understand," said Rabon. "With that ability to evaluate veracity, we look to the meaning of people's actions and we look for motives."
Shakespeare's Tragic Heroes
Rabon also turned to Shakespeare, whose tragedy "Hamlet" featured what he called Shakespeare's "most enigmatic character."
"Was he crazy, or was he just pretending to be crazy?" he asked. Rabon is a particular fan of Hamlet and publishes a free monthly newsletter on interviewing called "Hamlet's Mind," which is available at www.hamletsmind.com.
"Go back and reread 'Hamlet,' because that whole thing is about interviewing people and asking people questions and evaluating their answers," Rabon advised.
Inspiration also comes from another of Shakespeare's tragic heroes, Othello, who kills his wife Desdemona out of jealousy provoked by his envious friend Iago.
"With the actions of Othello, we were able to attach what he did—and how he justified what he did—to the rationalization aspect of the fraud triangle," said Rabon. "We also looked at how Iago got Othello to come to believe that his wife Desdemona was running around with Cassio when that wasn't the case. We looked at how Iago used his persuasive techniques to influence Othello's behavior."
Even Shakespeare's Sonnets can inspire fraud examiners. "Sonnet 138 describes the relationship between an older man and a younger woman and how they use deception to make that relationship work," said Rabon. "It starts off with, 'When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her though I know she lies.' We explored the whole concept of deception and went deeply into the dynamics of deception."
Off to See the Wizard
From Shakespeare, Rabon moved on to discussing L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" at his workshops.
"Then we went to the Land of Oz," he recalled. "Some of you went with me and some of you never came back."
A good interviewer, like the Tin Man, needs to have a heart, with the capacity to understand, Rabon pointed out. Like the Scarecrow, he also needs to have a brain with the capacity to adjust to the changing environment of the interview. And like the Cowardly Lion, he needs to have courage with the will to succeed. "In that, we place an emphasis on the ability to persevere," Rabon added. "In some cases, particularly where we're talking about persuasion, it's going to take perhaps a bit longer to get somebody to tell you something they don't want to tell you, particularly if the downstream consequences of what they're going to tell you are going to be adverse to that individual."
Dr. Jekyll and Sherlock Holmes
Next up in the literary canon of fraudster interviewing classics is Robert Louis Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
"We related that whole dynamic to the fraud triangle, because in his suicide note, Dr. Jekyll wrote this: 'That which I drank did not turn me into a monster,' he said. 'That which I drank released the monster that was in me all along.' We attach that to the suppression rationalization. It may very well be that an individual comes into contact with a situation in life. This individual up to this point can be as honest as the day is long, but in that situation it could release the fraudster that was in that individual all along. This is why those of us that investigate fraud can never preclude anybody because we can't look to that person's past to predict that individual's future. It may just be that the individual has never experienced this circumstance. Just because the circumstance that this individual is experiencing would not motivate us to fraud doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't motivate that individual to fraud."
From Dr. Jekyll, Rabon moved on in his next workshop to another fictitious resident of Victorian-era London, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. "We looked at 12 different elicitation techniques that we can use to get information from people without having to ask them questions, and we paid particular attention to Holmes's 'The Sign of the Four.' We took part of that particular story and we looked at all the different elicitation techniques. We looked at some video clips of it and then read some of it."
Poe and Looney Tunes
From there, he moved on to a schoolboy described in Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Purloined Letter," who wins all the marbles because of his proficiency at guessing whether his schoolmates have an odd or even number of marbles concealed in their hands.
"From that we deal with this whole dynamic of mirrored neurons," said Rabon. "We talked about this whole concept of rapport, heightened attention leading to increased suggestibility, and how the ability to affect and mirror neurons in the brain of the interviewee is most conducive, and how it took scientists 150 years to figure out what Poe was talking about.'"
Last year, though, Rabon admitted that his workshop "plumbed the depths of literary acumen," by probing Foghorn Leghorn, the Southern-accented rooster of the Looney Tunes cartoons. "One thing about Foghorn Leghorn was that he was always trying to get people to pay attention," said Rabon. "He'd say, 'Pay attention to me, son, I'm talkin' to you.' With that, we stressed the importance of paying attention during the conduct of the interview. The average adult attention span is only 12 minutes."
Rabon cited a recent study of "digital dementia," stemming from the overuse of cell phones, tablets and computers as opposed to interacting with people. "It is beginning to produce dementia in people that is the same as if the individual had suffered a severe brain injury," he said. "I am very concerned about the diminishing capacity of people to pay attention, not just the interviewer, but the interviewee."
The Spider and the Fly
For this year's workshop at the ACFE conference, Rabon said he decided to focus on Mary Howitt's 1829 poem, "The Spider and the Fly."
"Think about this: what was the spider's goal?" Rabon asked. "What did the spider want to happen? He wanted the fly to come into his parlor. He wanted to influence the behavior of the fly. It took a very long poem for that to come out. Here's the first line: 'Will you walk into my parlor?' said the Spider to the Fly."
Howitt could have been describing in her poem a psychological technique that someone who interviews a suspected fraudster might use in their interrogation. "What is the interviewer's goal when operating as a persuader?" Rabon asked. "Sometimes an interviewer has to get people to talk to him, sometimes an interviewer has to evaluate veracity and sometimes an interviewer has to influence people's behavior. I've got to get somebody to do something they didn't want to do. I've got to get them to do it in a way that's acceptable. The fly and us, while our motives may be somewhat different, nevertheless we're trying to bring about a change in behavior on the part of this particular individual.
"As an interviewer, here's what I want," he added. "I don't want people responding to me because I have some kind of power over them. Simply having power over people may not necessarily carry the flag. For us, power is the ability to elicit response. 'Won't you walk into my parlor?' Won't you move from the unwilling chair to the willing chair? The thing to keep in mind is: everybody whose behavior we want to influence is not necessarily the doer of the wrongful deed. Sometimes in interviewing people, it may be a neutral third party that has some information or suspicion, but doesn't want to share that with me. I have to get them to do something they didn't intend to do. The first step is to get them to sit down and talk. They could be a possible co-conspirator and obviously I would expect the target of the inquiry to be less than willing to share that with me readily right off the bat as we begin our communication process."

I can't believe it's already December. It feels like last week was OCTOBER. They say that time really flies the older you get, and they are right. Alas, it's December 4th and I've decided to share with you some of my favorites from last month. I'm not sure if "monthly favorites" is a popular thing on the blogging side of the internet, but I know it's quite popular in the Youtube world, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.
So, like I said, I picked out a few things that I really enjoyed during the month (although I'm still enjoying them and will continue to enjoy them). Also, some of which I bought in November.
Here they are.
I'm gonna start off with tops. I've been really into neutral colors and earthy tones lately. The shirt all the way to left is just an olive green V neck shirt I bought a few months back. It's super soft and fits wonderfully. The middle shirt - if you know me, you know I love black, white, and stripes. This is a more tight-fitting, short sleeve shirt with a bit of a crop to it. The design was what really gained my attention at first. I love the simplicity of it. The last shirt all the way to the right is a another soft, short sleeved, v neck. However, I LOVED the tie detail in the front.
(Note: It was fairly warm in the month of November where I live which will explain why some of this stuff could be considered "summery" and unfit for colder temps.)
I bought these jeans over the summer, but it was always too hot to wear them so I finally got the chance to this fall (obviously haha). I bought them at American Eagle Outfitters. It was really random because I wasn't looking for jeans or anything in particular, I just wanted to check in since I hadn't been to that store in forever, and then BOOM, there they were staring at me, begging me to try them on. Ok no, but really. I love the way they fit and look- they're really loose and it looks great with the holes. They roll up at the bottom which was another thing I really liked. Perfect for a casual look. This was the first time in a long time that I shopped AE for jeans, but I can really say that I like them.
I'm not really one to wear jewelry much anymore these days, which the exception of earrings on occasion. However, when I saw these three necklaces being sold together for a cheap price (they were on sale - gotta love those sales) I decided why not. Mostly, I was drawn by the bird and leaf necklaces. I want to say they have an 18 inch chain which I think is the perfect length. They're really simple and I love it.
Ok, I've been obsessed with a candle for well over a year now. I bought a new one in November so I thought I'd add it to my favorite list. I have quite a few candles from DW Home Candles and I love them. Great quality candle and great scent. When they say "richly scented candle," they mean it. This candle is also really long lasting - I think I've bought 4 in the past year which is really good for how often I burn it. I'm awful at describing scents so I'm not even going to try to, but I will say that it's a nice floral scent.
On to beauty products. First off I have Tea Tree essential oil I bought at Kroger awhile back. I've been loving essential oils for quite a long time, and I've gotta say, they're not as popular as they should be. They are great for natural home remedies. I'm not going to go deep into the details and benefits of it, but I will say Tea Tree oil is great of skin, hair, as well as other things. Google it! The second item I have is a Botanic Shea Butter soap by Greenwich Bay Trading Co. in the scent White Tea Calendula. I love this stuff. I haven't used to this particular one yet, but I'm in love with the smell. I've tried some of the other ones by the brand, some of which were African Violet & Cocoa Butter, Juicy Peach Shea Butter Botanic, and Pineapple Cocoa Butter Botanic. They left my hands feeling sooooo soft. I have this new thing where I like to keep cute little soap bars next to the bathroom sinks. It's just something different from the popular liquid soaps. Last item to the right is the Burt's Bees Natural Face Essentials Soap Bark & Chamomile deep cleansing cream. That's a mouthful. Anyways, I've been a big fan of Burt's Bees for quite awhile now. I've gone through a lot of their different face washes just to try them all out, and I think I'll be sticking with this one. First of all, it's a 100% natural cleanser (meaning natural ingredients) which gives it major points. Secondly, the scent is glorious, and there's a hint of menthol in it which will leave your face feeling so cool and soothed. It's great.
Lastly, I wanted to talk about these boots. These I actually did buy in November from a store called G.H. Bass & Co. I saw them in the store and thought, "Well, I'll just try them on, see what I think, and go from there..." Definitely loved the way they looked on. I love wearing boots, and these looked like a good pair of boots to wear. I love the back zipper and just every detail about them. They're a little shorter, going just a little bit above my ankle. They go PERFECT with longer wool socks. Cheers to new boots!
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my favorites from November! Maybe, just maybe I'll do this next month.

NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased Yelp Inc. ("Yelp") (NYSE:YELP) securities between February 9, 2017 and May 9, 2017.
Click here to learn about the case: http://www.wongesq.com/pslra-sb/yelp-inc?wire=2. There is no cost or obligation to you.
According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, the Company issued materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Yelp's transition from a Cost-Per-Thousand-Impressions ("CPM") to a Cost-Per-Click ("CPC") model in Fiscal 2016 created a distinct cohort of local advertisers that would reach the end of their contracts during the first part of Fiscal 2017; (ii) new customers that signed up with Yelp under the CPC pricing model had lower retention rates because the customers did not effectively compete with Yelp's more established customers; and (iii) that, as a result of the lower retention rates, Yelp was not on track to achieve its financial guidance or results during the Class Period. On May 9, 2017, the Company announced their first quarter 2017 financial results and announced it was revising its full year 2017 guidance to reflect poor retention rates with existing customers.
If you suffered a loss in Yelp you have until March 19, 2018 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

From 5th to 12th august 2006, an international working camp took place close to the Frinds of Nature house "La Serment" at La-Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, during which young Friends of Nature revitalized a drying stone wall. The activity was covered by media, and thus contributed to the creation of awareness and regional identity in the Jura. 16 juveniles from Hungary, France, Germany and Switzerland took part in the event.
The arc of the Jura mountain range between France and witzerland, which stretches from the Rhine in the north to the Rhône river and the Alps in the south, has been designated European "Landscape of the Year 2005/2006" by the Conference of Presidents representing the 21 National Federations of the international Friends-of-Nature movement.
