With the U.S. MNT finishing up a 12 day training stint in Brazil before heading back to California, Jurgen Klinsmann cut the 26 man squad down to 22. Klinsmann sent five players home, while adding Michael Parkhurst, for the rest of camp at the StubHub Center and the February 1 friendly versus the Korea Republic.
Klinsmann sent home Colorado Rapids defenders Chris Klute and Shane O'Neill, Sporting KC backs Chance Myers and Seth Sinovic, and Houston Dynamo keeper Tally Hall.
"All of the players have put in a tremendous amount of work and effort these past two weeks," said Klinsmann. "We had a great opportunity to introduce some new players into the Senior National Team Program and they have done extremely well. I think they have a bright future, and now they go back to their clubs with a better understanding of what it takes at the international level. We now move forward with the chance to finish off the camp with the goal of getting a result against Korea."
Klinsmann elected to retain Chicago Fire striker and MLS MVP, Mike Magee, defenders Michael Harrington (Portland Timbers), and DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders), and Real Salt Lake midfielder Luis Gil. All five will be looking for their first cap against South Korea.
Does the inclusion of Magee and the rest of the surviving quintet mean that the five impressed enough in closed door matches versus Sao Paulo to move up Klinsmann's depth chart for Brazil?
And Parkhurst's recent move to return to MLS with the Columbus Crew appears to be paying immediate dividends, and could spur Maurice Edu to push to get his stalled move to Philadelphia from Stoke completed.
Fans will be disappointed not to see Michael Bradley on the roster. The influential U.S. midfielder had left open the possibility of facing Korea, after his shock move from A.S. Roma to Toronto FC.
U.S. Soccer reports that 22,000 tickets have been sold for the game against the Korean Republic, the first of just two confirmed matches for the United States prior to the World Cup.
GOALKEEPERS (3) : Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (7) : Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Clarence Goodson (San Jose Earthquakes), Michael Harrington (Portland Timbers), Michael Parkhurst (Columbus Crew), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)
MIDFIELDERS (8) : Eric Alexander (New York Red Bulls), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Dax McCarty (New York Red Bulls), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (4 ): Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Eddie Johnson (D.C. United), Mike Magee (Chicago Fire), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

Lexus UX Concept: Radical chic from the inside out
Debuting in Paris, the Lexus UX Concept is a one-off compact crossover that dramatically reinterprets the automaker's existing design language. Created by ED2, the firm's design center in the south of France, this radically expressive 4-passenger show vehicle pushes the boundaries of convention using what Lexus dubs an "inside-out" design theme and a deconstructed interior treatment. Lexus believes an entry-lux CUV with those kinds of distinctive elements will have serious appeal to the younger, urban buyers it hopes to bring into the family fold.
Reformulating for the future
Lexus says the main goal of the UX Concept's inside-out approach was to create a strong synergy linking the vehicle's exterior and interior by implementing an X-shaped motif in the basic architecture that results in a seamless visual transition between the two. It points to elements like the design of the wheel arches, roll bars and "see-through" A-pillar structures that help foster the desired effect. Finished in Immersive Amethyst, the UX Concept melds its sculpted but fluid body surfaces with a host of other intriguing detail flourishes that include a new interpretation of the signature Lexus Spindle grille, L-shaped DRLs that intersect with the main headlamps, and dramatic rear lighting. Even the UX Concept's rolling stock reflects the inside-out motif, with a section of each custom alloy wheel extending into its aggressive laser-carved tires to create a unified appearance.
Also: Class of 2017 – New Cars Ready to Roll
The dramatically rendered cabin of the Lexus UX Concept pushes the same kind of avant-garde buttons, starting with its unconventional take on a dash design that consists of a selection of overlapping angular forms matched with advanced dual-zone 3D instrumentation, full electrostatic switchgear and the latest in-car connectivity. That dichotomy carries into the fore and aft areas as well. Up front, a darker-toned, driver-in-command space is dominated by individual buckets with spider-web netting inspired by the innovative new Lexus Kinetic Seat Concept design that also debuted in Paris. The UX Concept also introduces a new Human Machine Interface concept that baselines key ergonomic considerations from the position of the driver's body in the seat to create a more immersive experience. Lighter in color and more welcoming in tone, the rear quarters in this groundbreaking Lexus have a single wraparound lounge-like bench.
Also: Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards of 2016
Rounding out the UX Concept's feature set are electrochromic windows that darken at the touch of a button, e-mirror cameras in place of conventional side mirrors and an audio system with a stylized removable sound bar. It should be interesting to see how much of the UX Concept's design thinking actually makes it into a production vehicle.

Layering is key for summer to fall transition
Today I want to present another of my summer to fall transition outfits. The printed dress has multiple colors. Thus, it is easy to add a variety of my cardigans. Here I took a black cardigan and black tights to get the insulation needed on a fall day in Fairbanks. I accessorized with my fall sandals that pick up a color of the dress and the bag.
Fall lasts just a month in Fairbanks. Thus, I do not invest in fall clothes, but try to get away with a combination of summer and winter clothes.
What about you? Do you mix and match items from the warm and cold season in one outfit? What is your style challenge in the time of summer to fall transition? Let me know by email, so I can help you.

Melting chocolate is not difficult - let me tell you about three ways to melt chocolate.
Whether you need to melt chocolate to make chocolate dipped strawberries, a fondue, decorate a cake or make a chocolate buttercream there is a method here that will suit you.
I explain how to melt chocolate using a double boiler, the microwave and the oven.
Bring a small amount of water to the boil in a saucepan. Turn the heat down to a slow simmer. Place your heatproof bowl containing your chocolate buttons to snugly fit on top. The base of the bowl must not touch the simmering water. It is the heat of the steam that is used to melt the chocolate not the water. Stir the chocolate buttons until melted. Turn the heat off.
Use a heatproof microwave safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate uncovered on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir. Then repeat in 30 second intervals until the chocolate has melted stirring each time. Great care must be taken not to overheat the chocolate using this method.
I think that this is now the most common way of melting chocolate. Its quick and a great way to melt chocolate when you just need a small amount. It makes life easy when you just want to drizzle chocolate over a dessert or make chocolate decorations or melt chocolate to add to a recipe.
Place the heatproof bowl containing the chocolate buttons in a preheated oven set at 60C. Leave for 10 minutes, then stir. Leave the bowl in there until the chocolate is completely melted. You can leave the chocolate safely in the oven until ready to use.
This is my favourite way to melt chocolate when making chocolate covered strawberries. I find this is more flexible. I can keep several types of chocolate melted this way. I don't have the danger of working with steam or the easy chance of over heating in the microwave.
I really hope this has helped in your melting chocolate journey. It is not hard and each method is good for different reasons. Although I think like me you will probably end up using the microwave method the most - its so convenient.
Chocolate covered strawberries are delicious and much easier to make than they look.
Let me show you how.
I have ideas weddings, valentines, christmas and more.
I even have a chocolate covered strawberries cakes.
Who can resist a chocolate truffle? Not me - boy did I have fun making all of these for the web site!
Start at my Chocolate Truffle page where you will find a base recipe.
Then click onto the chocolate truffle flavours page to find an almost endless suggestion list for chocolate truffles.
Use melted chocolate to decorate chocolate chip cookies.
Instantly turn them into gourmet cookies!
Melting chocolate and drizzling over the cookies is easy and looks fantastic or why not dip half the cookie in the chocolate for a really decadent treat.
But you will need a great cookie recipe to start with so check out my chocolate cookies pages
I have given our old favourites - chocolate peppermint slice and chocolate caramel slice a mini make-over.
They still have melted chocolate on top so this page will be of help to you.
You can find these chocolate recipes in my chocolate slice section.
You will use melted chocolate in my smooth and delicious chocolate buttercream recipe.
It makes a wonderful chocolate cake filling or to top cupcakes.
I have also given a recipe for vanilla buttercream and white chocolate buttercream.

This is the official residence of King Albert II of Belgium. It was originally built in 18th century and intended as a summer residence of Archduchess Maria Cristina of Austria.
When King Leopold I, the uncle of Queen Victoria of England, ascended to the Belgian throne in 1831, he chose the castle as his official residence. It was inherited by the succeeding monarchs since then.
The last monarch to reside in Castle of Laeken was King Boudouin, when Albert II succeeded his brother in 1993 he chose to remain at Château du Belvédère and the Castle of Laeken was given to his eldest son and successor, Prince Philippe, the Duke of Brabant. The castle has a beautiful landscape of garden and surrounded by lakes, golf course and pavilions.

Employer-Sponsored Tuition Reimbursement in Wisconsin.
Mishler, Carol; Augustin, James
Information on tuition reimbursement policies for employers near Wisconsin colleges is presented. Of the 26 campuses surveyed, six University of Wisconsin campuses had completed formal surveys of local employers: campuses at Madison, Oshkosh, Parkside, Green Bay, Manitowoc County, and Sheboygan. Profiles of the six campuses that completed surveys are presented. The profiles provide the following information: purpose of the survey, the office completing the survey, date completed, survey procedure, response rate, results, use of the survey findings, the title of the survey and bibliographic information, and comments. For the campuses that did not complete their own surveys of employer policies, information is provided on uses of information on tuition reimbursement and problems associated with a tuition reimbursement survey. Previous research on employer-sponsored tuition reimbursement is reviewed with attention to: reports of surveys of companies or unions, studies of employees' use of plans and barriers to use, benefit studies, and reports of efforts to increase employee use of tuition reimbursement. The survey questionnaire and suggestions for increasing employees' use of tuition aid plans are appended. (SW)

2018 Toyota Camry vs. 2018 Ford Fusion
The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling midsize sedan in the United States for more than 15 consecutive years. For the new model year, the automaker has completely redesigned the sedan adding more interior space and better performance without sacrificing its sharp handling or world-class fuel economy. With the new model year and a newly redesigned vehicle in place the Camry has a new round of competitors to remain better than. This is pretty clearly illustrated in a comparison between the 2018 Toyota Camry vs. 2018 Ford Fusion. The new 2018 Camry is available for a test drive at Spitzer Toyota today.
Previous generations of the two midsize sedans have been roundly praised by independent reviews for being as roomy and comfortable to drive as they are high-performing and efficient. For the 2018 model year, the Toyota Camry further separates itself from the Fusion as well as the rest of the class. A major part of the redesign for the 2018 Camry is the extra space that has been added. Toyota engineers added a few fractions of an inch to length and width of the wheelbase of the Camry. The team was able to make the interior more passenger-friendly while making sure the 2018 model is lighter than the 2017 version.

2018 Camry vs. 2018 Fusion: Performance Specs
Among the reasons the Toyota Camry has won over so many hearts and minds is its commitment to offering a strong balance between performance and efficiency. The Camry has always offered four-cylinder and V-6 engine options. That trend continues with the 2018 model, but both power plants have been vastly improved. Both the 2018 Toyota Camry and 2018 Ford Fusion use a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine on each of their base models. The all-new Camry makes more than 200 horsepower with its base engine, compared to the 175 horsepower from the Ford's four-cylinder engine. The potential buyers of the 2018 Camry can choose a 300-horsepower V-6.
Additionally, each of the engine options available for the 2018 Toyota Camry are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission to help with fuel economy scores.

Starting with a gentle keyboard in "Fragment," which seamlessly moves into "Praise Your Name" with its piano, accordion, brushed drums, and folk/pop backing singers, Michael Gira continues with his intentional break from Swans. Anything but a softening of his art - sample lyrics from "Praise" include "Kill idiot violence, punish greed, punish me" - New Mother instead lets Gira experiment even further, concentrating on acoustic guitar songs accompanied by a variety of musicians. As with just about anything he tries, the results are highly individual and astonishingly good. Equally noticeable throughout the full 75-minute disc are Gira's vocals - he's actually singing, as opposed to the brooding speak/sing of the later Swans years. While he's no Scott Walker (e.g, with occasional straining on the high notes), he's quite good nonetheless, further distinguishing his Angels work as being a mere continuation of his previous band. The general feel of the entire record draws on a juxtaposition of lush '60s American and European pop orchestration (the use of a banjo inevitably recalls Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks) with often stark, ominous recordings and arrangements (and sometimes, as on "Angels of Light," a hint of the relentless build of many of Swans' final epic pieces), creating a marvelous artistic tension that avoids mere pastiche. Those songs with more stripped-down arrangements, such as the romantically obsessed "This Is Mine," with merely guitar, piano, and what sounds like hammer dulcimer, succeed as well as the fuller numbers, providing a fine variety to the disc. No less than 19 musicians participated in the creation of New Mother, and the fact that Gira was able to synthesize their efforts and create such a powerful debut bodes well for his future efforts in this vein. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi

Insomnia is a type of sleep disorder that can make it difficult for a person to fall asleep, stay sleeping, or to wake before they should and not be able to get back to sleep. When a person suffers with insomnia, they often wake up feeling tired. They lack the energy necessary to get through the day. Over time, insomnia can have an affect on a person's health, as well as their performance at work and the quality of their life overall.
The amount of sleep a person should get each night varies by each person. But the average amount of sleep an adult should get is between seven and eight hours. Depending on different events or things going on in a person's life, many adults go through a short period of time, a few days or maybe a week, where they have difficulty sleeping, but this is not insomnia.
What is the Difference Between Difficulty Sleeping and Insomnia?
Insomnia has a number of symptoms including:
* Unable to easily fall asleep at night
* Waking up earlier than necessary and unable to fall back to sleep
* Waking in the middle of the night
* Being tired or sleepy during the day
* Difficulty focusing or paying attention
* Consistently worrying about being able to sleep
* Not feeling rested when waking up
* Irritable, depressed, or having anxiety
* Having more errors or accidents than usual
When you have difficulty sleeping, you may have some of these symptoms, but they usually only last for a few days or possibly a week. The symptoms are also not typically consistent. There may be a night or two that someone is unable to sleep well, but then they sleep fine for a period of time. Insomnia is more of a consistent inability to get a good night's sleep.
Along with the inconsistency of difficulty sleeping, once the person is able to get to sleep, they often will sleep through the rest of the night. Difficulty sleeping is often someone having a hard time falling asleep, but not so much having issues staying asleep or falling back to sleep if they wake up in the middle of the night.
Causes of Difficulty Sleeping
Often times when someone is having a difficult time sleeping there is often a specific reason behind it that. The person may have a difficult time sleeping on Sunday nights. This would likely be attributed to their lack of keeping a consistent sleep schedule during the weekend. If a person sleeps great throughout most of the week, then stays up late on Friday and Saturday night and sleeps in late on Saturday and Sunday morning, this could be the cause of having a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night.
If there is something coming up or something that happened that has a person worried, they may have a difficult time falling asleep. It is difficult for a person to fall asleep when their mind is racing with different thoughts. When a person continues to think about things they are worried about, sleep will not come quickly.
Causes of Insomnia
There are a number of things that can be the cause of insomnia. Included in these are:
* Stress – Stressful or traumatic events in a person's life can cause insomnia.
* Bad Sleep Habits – If a person is completing stimulating tasks, watching TV, sleeping in an environment that is uncomfortable, or using the bed as a place to work.
* Work or Traveling Schedule – Working a job that requires a person to consistently change shifts, having jet lag from traveling, and working an off shift can mess up a person's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythms. A person's circadian rhythms is what keeps them on a sleep schedule and when it is consistently disrupted, it can lead to insomnia.
* Eating too Much Before Bed – When a person eats too much before going to bed, they may feel uncomfortable and have a hard time falling asleep.
* Caffeine – Regularly drinking caffeinated beverages later in the day can lead to insomnia.
* Nicotine – Nicotine is a stimulant that can lead to insomnia.
* Alcohol – Alcohol is something that will typically help a person fall asleep, but often does not allow for the deep sleep that is necessary for a good night's sleep.
* Medications – Certain medications can be the cause of insomnia. Some medicines contain caffeine and other types of stimulants that can make it difficult for people to fall asleep or stay asleep.
Insomnia's Relation to Depression and Anxiety
Insomnia is something that is commonly seen in those with depression. Although there are some people with depression that sleep a great amount of time, many others with depression have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep.
It is understandable that someone that has insomnia could end up with depression. When a person suffers from insomnia, they are not getting the sleep that they need. Over time, this can begin to take a toll on them physically, mentally, and can have a negative effect on their daily lives. This can then lead to depression.
Insomnia can also lead to anxiety. When someone is not able to get the sleep they need at night, they can become anxious about not being able to sleep. This anxiety they feel can also then lead to depression.
Possible Treatment Options for Insomnia
There are a number of different treatments that may be used in order to treat insomnia. The first type of treatment would likely be to change habits the person may have in order to restore a regular schedule of sleep. If these changes do not work, behavioral therapy or prescription medications may be used.

BENEFITING: The Momentum Group
Meet Awot …
The 30-year-long Eritrean War of Independence ravaged Awot's childhood when an errant bomb killed his mother. He was only ten years old. After that, he was left to care for his little sister, working whatever odd jobs he could find. Hardship struck again when a heavy container used to feed animals fell on his right leg during work. Not able to visit a doctor, he used traditional medicine of hot oil and water and bandaged it himself. It never healed properly and in later years he had to wear a brace.
In May 1998, border issues sparked yet another war between Eritrea and Ethiopia. The Eritrean government tried to force Awot to join the army, despite the fact that he had a bad leg and the responsibility of caring for his siblings. With no other choice, Awot fled to Ethiopia, where he was placed in a refugee camp with 10,000 other displaced Eritreans. In the camp, Awot baked and sold bread to try and earn what little money he could. Even though it wasn't much, Awot enjoyed doing what he could to help others. Six years later, at the age of 30, he was separated from his family but finally able to relocate to the United States.
Every year, thousands of people just like Awot are relocated to refugee resettlement communities in the United States with next to nothing. Boise, Idaho is one of those communities, helping to resettle 1000 refugees every year. Through hard work, they have found jobs and built homes here. But when the economy collapsed in 2008, their rate of unemployment in this previously highly livable city jumped from 5% to 50%. The refugee community was plunged into crisis. Someone had to do something.
It turned out that "someone" was us, and that "something" was food.
At Create Common Good, we use food to change lives. We train people and we feed people. By training and employing refugees in food production, we're able to grow food, prepare food, and sell food. We use this revenue to supplement the grants and donations that fund our job training and feeding programs. We're a social enterprise, a growing business that happens to be a nonprofit. Since we opened our doors in 2009, we've trained roughly a third of the adults who settle in Idaho annually and placed 95% of our graduates into jobs, impacting the lives of thousands of refugees and their families. We also serve tens of thousands of healthy meals a year.
With a smile that lights up any room, Awot now shares his passion for cooking and food with others. After joining CCG in early 2011, he has improved his English and cooking skills and become an irreplaceable part of the CCG team, helping to train other refugees and serving lunch at a local elementary school as the School Lunch Program manager. He also works at Flatbread Community Oven, a local restaurant.
Awot is just one of thousands of refugees that have been helped by CCG. But there are many more Awots out there who could be experiencing success. It is time for CCG to scale up. In early February, 2013 we will begin construction on a new facility that will help us scale our good by 500 percent, enabling thousands more like Awot to have access to our training programs and thousands more to be fed through school lunch, local restaurants, hospitals, child care centers, and retailers. The new facility will allow us to have not 5 but 50 people in the kitchen, gaining experience through employment and training programs, and as well as feeding others.
We have tremendous opportunity to scale the good, we just need the space to do it. However, we are only half of the way to our goal of $350,000. We need your help raising the remaining $175,000 in order to open our doors. In 10 weeks--$175k, then we're outta the gates, off and running, with new business that's in the pipeline. We're leaping the chasm from potential to the reality, and can create SO MUCH possibility. Help us make it.
Please consider making a gift to scale the good through a donation today.

ISLAMABAD – A District and Sessions Court on Friday ordered registration of an FIR against Jang Media Group's owner Mir Shakilur Rehman and Geo television anchors Najam Sethi and Hamid Mir.
The order has been passed for airing baseless contents against former army chief General Raheel Sharif regarding allotment of a plot.
On an application filed by an Allama Shoaib under 22-A, District and Sessions Judge Anwar Ali Khan gave the order.
Arguing on the application, the applicant's counsel Shan Asghar said the journalists claimed in their talk shows on January 25 that Gen Raheel got the land wrongfully allotted to him.
'The anchors tried to damage Gen Raheel's career and prestige and contended that the former army chief was properly allotted the land by the government' pleaded Shan Asghar.
He requested the court to register an FIR against the suspects to which the court ordered SHO (Station House Officer) Gulberg police station to register a case.
The allotment of 90 acres of prime land to the former chief of army staff (COAS) General (r) Raheel Sharif became controversial after political analysts dubbed it unfair for the popular general to receive the land days after the APS carnage.
However, army's media wing confirmed that the allotment was not of an extraordinary type as it was a routine practice and distribution of lands was directly carried out by the General Headquarters, instead of government.

Re: Mary Abbott Hunter of WV
Thanks for the info! I descend from Alwilda and Nathaniel Flowers' daughter Susie. She married Nick Burks (N.B.) Keeney. Susie and N.B. had my grandfather, Traber Gatewood (T.G) Keeney.
I would be most interested in what you have on the Hunters. I believe I got information from you some months ago regarding the Old and New Hunter Cemeteries. I visited the new cemetery and found Alwilda's grave.
You can e-mail me privately at email@example.com.
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.

I don't recall how I came upon Curious Wine, but I seem to have had it for quite some time. Perhaps a find from the endless hours spent perusing lists of LGBT-themed books? I did take a leap of faith a few years back, so that must have been it.
Reading Curious Wine made me think of both Desert Hearts and Claire of the Moon. I felt as if I was watching the narrative happening through a grain filter, which was both endearing and helpful, as it offered the distance, both in terms of time and space, required not to take affront about the way certain matters were addressed.
I quite enjoyed the setting, the escape that became the way into something instead of an ephemeral way out of something else. There's a particular mood, a cloud of mist, surrounding Curious Wine. It has its ups and downs, its clichés and its breathtaking lines… Oh, and the flirting through poetry.
I believe I would go as far as calling Curious Wine relevant, even if I still feel conflicted about the depiction of women at certain times throughout the narrative.
All in all, I would say it was a rather different read, a bit experimental, a bit… secretive. I think I will go and investigate what the author has been up to lately.

There is no Such Thing as 'Peaceful' Muslims
Moody Adams
Conservative and liberal media are constantly saying the majority of Muslims are good, peaceful people. They may be good and peaceful people, but they are not good and peaceful Muslims. The Koran, which is the final, absolute truth about Islam declares Muslims who are not joining in the war against non-Muslims are not a part of Islam and are doomed to hell.
By going off to war you show you are a part of Islam
Koran 8:75. And they who have believed and fled their country since, and have fought at your side, these also are of you. Those who are united by ties of blood are the nearest of kin to each other. This is in the Book of God. Verily, God knoweth all things.
True believers go to war with purse and person
Koran 49:15. The true believers are those only who believe in God and His Apostle, and afterwards doubt not; and who contend with their substance and their persons on the path of God.
Muslims who do not go to war are sealed for hell
Koran 9:93. Only is there cause of blame against those who, though they are rich, ask thee for exemption. They are pleased to be with those who stay behind; and God hath set a seal upon their hearts: they have no knowledge. They will excuse themselves to you when ye come back to them. SAY: Excuse yourselves not; we cannot believe you: now hath God informed us about you: God will behold your doings, and so will His Apostle: to Him who knoweth alike things hidden and things manifest shall ye hereafter be brought back: and He will tell you what ye have done. They will adjure you by God when ye are come back to them, to withdraw from them: Withdraw from them, then, for they are unclean: their dwelling shall be Hell, in recompense for their deserts.
Those who do not go to war, are under a curse
Koran 47:20. And if, when the command for war is issued, they are true to God, it will be assuredly best for them. Were ye not ready, if ye had turned back from Him, to spread disorder in the land, and violate the ties of blood? These are they whom God hath cursed, and made deaf, and blinded their eyes!
Fight to win a good reward and escape a horrible doom
Koran 49:16. SAY to those Arabs of the desert, who took not the field (of battle) back aforetime, He will chastise you with a sore chastisement. It shall be no crime on the part of the blind, the lame, or the sick, if they go not to the fight.
Those who go to war for Allah will go to heaven
Koran 9:85. When a Sura was sent down with "Believe in God and go forth to war with His Apostle," those of them who are possessed of riches demanded exemption, and said, "Allow us to be with those who sit at home. Well content were they to be with those who stay behind: for a seal hath been set on their hearts so that they understand not:—But the Apostle and those who share his faith, contend for the faith with purse and person; and these! all good things await them: and these are they who shall be happy. God hath made ready for them gardens 'neath which the rivers flow, wherein they shall remain forever: this will be the great bliss.

"Training on Board", a new website to help seafarers keep fit was launched by the International Committee for Seafarers Welfare (ICSW) this week. The website was developed by the Norwegian Maritime Authority and is supported by the ITF Seafarers Trust.
The site provides physical training programmes for seafarers designed by a professional physiotherapist, Mona Woll Haland. The exercises can be done onboard and have been tested with the help of the Norwegian shipping company, Odfjell.
"Training on Board" hopes to inspire a healthy lifestyle among seafarers. It helps to understand the link between physical training, nutrition, and fatigue.
The website has an online calculator to measure fitness. It goes on to guide seafarers on how to start a programme of physical training to improve their health and overall well-being. Seafarers can register on the site and record their workouts and monitor their progress. Seafarers can compete among themselves, and against other crews and companies to see who has done the most training and improved their fitness as a result.
The site addresses the concern that many seafarers are becoming unfit and obese. Torbjørn Husby of the Norwegian Maritime Authority said
"In Norway we are finding that seafarers are losing their health certificates as they have BMI's of more than 35 and are becoming vulnerable to diabetes and heart conditions because of lack of exercise and poor diet."
Roger Harris, Executive Director of the ICSW, said that improved fitness sits well with the soon-to-be-implemented ILO Maritime Labour Convention (MLC). He said that the MLC emphasises the importance of health and welfare, and "Training on Board" encourages seafarers and shipping companies to actively participate in the fitness programme and learn about healthy nutrition.

I have, in recent weeks, continued to consult with local residents in the Frodingham ward over the future use of the Brumby Resource Centre Site in East Common Lane.
It was encouraging that so many took the opportunity to respond to me with their views, demonstrating an excellent community spirit in the area.
Obviously there was quite a diverse range of thoughts on what the grounds could be used for but a sense of realism shone through recognising that the present brownfield site could be allocated for housing, however coupled with that the present green space should be preserved and enhanced for present and future generations.
Other issues that were echoed loud and clear was the traffic congestion at the East Common Lane/Cemetery Road junction, the possible overcrowding of local schools, poor drainage and potential flooding and the loss of respite care in the area due to the demise of The Lilacs.
Moving the case on, I've now written to North Lincolnshire Council outlining these concerns in the hope that as many of them will be addressed as we move forward.

This photograph was taken in an abandoned house in Jaquet River, Newbrunswick. it's a really sad story - the house belonged to an older couple out back in the countryside on a corner lot. The man of the house smoked heavily and was an alcoholic. He left a cigarette lit while he was passed out. There was a fire and he burned himself to death.
This is a photograph of his bedroom where his bed once stood.

Since the very first race in 1998, runners have hit the streets in the wildest outfits. So what better way to celebrate with us then by joining the tradition in your favorite costume and running sneakers?
Get inspired by Rock 'n' Roll enthusiasts John Biel and Sarah Lupien, who take running in costume to a whole new level. These runners have traveled the country dressing up in costumes that represent each city.
"We love traveling the country to do the different Rock 'n' Roll Marathon races. As if the distances weren't hard enough, we like to add some extra challenge by running in a costume. Our costumes normally revolve around the city or the theme of the race. Beignets in New Orleans, tacos in Arizona, and even a packaged roll of sourdough bread for San Francisco."
Come rock San Diego and see what these two have in store for the big celebration! And check out other costumes that have rocked the San Diego course since the inaugural race. What is your costume this year?register now

CNET Top 5
Portable Bluetooth speakersLooking for a completely wireless speaker that sounds great and can go anywhere? Here are your five best options.
When you�re shopping for a great wireless speaker that can work with your phone or tablet, don�t forget about the most annoying wire of all -- the power cord. Rechargeable Bluetooth speakers can be a great, flexible option that you can take with you around your house, out in the yard, or bring on vacation. I�m Donald Bell, and on today�s Top 5, I�ll be counting down the best options in portable Bluetooth speakers, ranked by CNET Editors David Carnoy and Matt Moskovciak. Starting things off at #5: the JBL Flip. Very affordable at $99. It�s compact but delivers good sound. You can also use it as a speakerphone, which is a surprisingly rare feature. You have to recharge it with an AC adapter instead of a USB cable, which is a bummer. Also, the carrying case makes this thing look a little scandalous... Try not blushing during that baggage check. Or, you could man-up to #4: the JBL Charge. For just $50 more you get bigger speakers, bigger sound, double the battery life, and a USB port for using that battery life to charge other stuff. No speakerphone on this one, but do you really want a phone call interrupting your Motorhead marathon? Seriously, for $150, the JBL Charge packs a mean punch and is cheap enough to throw in the back of the truck without having a heart attack. Coming in at #3: the Logitech UE Boombox. The UE stands for Ultimate Ears, a company Logitech acquired a few years back and now serves as their Premium Audio brand. This guy takes you up another $50 to around $250, but once again we�ve doubled the number speakers. You get 8 drivers on this thing, and it is frickin� loud, with some respectable low end. 6 hour battery life, though no USB charging. Also, no speakerphone -- this one�s strictly for blasting jamz and looking cool, sorta. But the ultimate Bluetooth statement comes in at #2: the Jawbone Big Jambox. This one�s also $250, but you get a Jawbone quality speakerphone, and the pride in owning something crafted by design superstar Yves Behar. Of course, no amount of star power can make up for the fact that this thing is about as portable as a brick. It�s pretty, but not exactly the kind of thing you bring out to a bar-b-q. Speaking of which, before we get to our #1 portable Bluetooth speaker, let�s take a minute to acknowledge the kind of small, affordable, rugged speaker that would be perfect for a Bar-B-Q. Our top pick for under $50 is the Philips SoundShooter. Looks like a grenade because it�s sound is da� bomb! Actually, it�s just ok, but at $50 it�s a great value, works as a speakerphone, charges over USB, and doesn�t look like a dildo. You�re welcome. But if you want the absolute best when it comes to portable Bluetooth audio, look no further than #1: the Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker II. The best sound quality of the bunch and I would argue the most portable design. It�s easy to grip, and it has a built in magnetic cover that folds back into a stand. The look is a little too buttoned up for my taste, but it�s an extremely practical design. What�s not practical is the price: $300, unless you can find it on sale -- which you won�t. It�s Bose. So there you go, 5 speakers, plus one to grow on -- all perfect for taking around the house or on your next vacation. But for even more Bluetooth speaker recommendations, head over to our complete listing of over 15 excellent options over on CNET.com Until next time, I�m Donald Bell, thanks for watching.

I accept Wedding Photography commissions on a limited basis. Please contact me directly for details.
2. Will my images be in Color or Black & White?
I typically include several color, B&W and custom finished images in your gallery. If you prefer all Color or all B&W, please let me know when booking so that I am aware.
3. How do I book a session?
Please go to the Services tab of the website, select Packages/Sessions from the drop down menu, and then choose the best package that fits you're your needs. If you prefer to book over the phone, that is just fine too. I do offer a 3% cash/check payment discount. Don't see a package that's right for you? No problem! Give me a call and we can build a package to fit your budget.
4. When and how do I pay?
To reserve your session date, a 50% Non-refundable Deposit is required. The remaining balance is due one week/7 days prior to your session date. Choose your session package here, add it to your cart, complete the form, and submit payment. SBP accepts MC, VISA, AMEX, cash and checks. Valid ID is required on all checks.

o In the event of emergency or illness the day of your session and you need to reschedule, please call me as soon as possible.
6. I want to book an Engagement Session. Can my children be in the shots?
For many reasons, I do not allow children in Engagement Sessions.
7. When do I get my images?
Due to a very busy summer season, as of August 2017, my current lead times are ~4 weeks.
Standard gallery lead times (unless noted differently above), will be about 2-3 weeks after your session date. During the holiday season (November-December), lead times may be 3-5 weeks. If you order prints, albums or other merchandise, the lead times vary. Please contact me for details on specific products, or check out the Products section of the website.
8. My child hates having their picture taken, what can I do?
Photo sessions with little ones can be tricky, especially with busy toddlers. I recommend that if your child is old enough to understand, then have a little chat with them a few days before the session, the day before, and/or the day of. Let them know what a photographer is and does, set the expectation for the day, and lay out a reward for their good behavior during the shoot, to be granted upon the end of the session. I have often found that the promise of a treat for smiles and good behavior during a session seems to work much better than scolding, begging and pleading with your child to sit still or behave.
Come what may, please do not stress! I will come equipped with some toys and treats (with your prior approval) that will get us through the session. I try to work as quickly as possible when shooting little ones, as their attention span is short! Also, keep in mind that the best photos of children are often those that happen naturally, when they are playing. Letting your little ones have a good time running around while I trail along with my camera taking shots typically yields beautiful results!
9. What happens if I, or my child, get sick before the shoot?
If you or your child becomes ill, please reschedule your session as soon as possible. For sessions that have to be rescheduled within 48 hours of the booking time, there will be a $20 rescheduling fee charged.
10. My session is at a public location, what do I need to bring?
If your session includes children, please bring any lovies, bottles, pacifiers, special stuffed animals, snacks, drinks, etc., that the child likes. This may help us get through the session with ease J.

Real Life Examples
Meet Mr. Smith
Mr. Smith came to an educational event held at a local doctor's office. He has been Medicare eligible for a few years but just resigned from his position a few months ago. He had group health coverage with this company. Mr. Smith is also a retired Navy Veteran of 7 years. He did not know what he should do and how the Veteran's Administration would help. He was paying $850/month for he and his wife.
Result: He wanted something that would allow them to travel and stay with family that lived all over the United States. He wanted to pick the best that he could afford and not have to keep fooling with it. He was not eligible for any Veteran's benefits or assistance because he was not injured during the service and made too much money. He picked a Medicare Supplement and a part D plan. Their health insurance premiums including Medicare Part B were reduced by $242 per month.
Meet Jan
Jan was a neighbor of one of our agents, Marc Nieman. She knew that Marc sold health insurance and asked him some questions about how to get covered. Marc learned at their meeting that Jan was paying $50 per month to be a member at the YMCA. Jan was ecstatic when Marc showed her a plan that covered Medicare Part A, B, and Part D with a low monthly premium and predictable low out-of- pocket costs. Jan has had her plan for 2 years and is so happy.
Meet Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones was hospitalized for a stroke at a local hospital. Mrs. Jones lived in a tourist town (Pigeon Forge) and had home health orders. Her insurance allowed her to choose from several different home health agencies but due the concern of heavy traffic and the orders that the doctor had written for her care, every home health agency in the area refused to take her case. Her personal advocate at Senior Financial Group called the hospital case manager and the social workers at the various home health agencies. After several phone calls over a few hour period, her advocate found an agency who was willing to take her case.
Meet Mr. Frederick
Mr. Frederick arrived that the pharmacy and learned that somehow he no longer had Medicare Part D coverage. Mr. Frederick was frantic because he needed his medications and could not afford the $238 it would cost him to pay cash. Since Mr. Frederick purchased his Medicare Part D coverage through Senior Financial Group he called us immediately. Our personal advocate was able to call and speak to his Pharmacist and explain how Mr. Frederick could receive his medication at no charge. As the SFG Advocate explained to the Pharmacist, the Pharmacy would be reimbursed for the drug cost through LI Net Program. Mr. Frederick knew that his advocate at Senior Financial Group was a life saver.
Senior Financial Group is here to help!

What should you do if the child is awake the whole night?
Ideal sleep is when a child goes to sleep without difficulty and sleeps soundly throughout the night without waking up for a long period, and is refreshed and active the next morning. Good sleep means good physical and mental health.
How many hours of sleep are necessary for a child?
A newborn baby should sleep an average of sixteen to eighteen hours a day. If your baby sleeps for just 10 hours a day or for around 20 hours, there is no cause for alarm as long as your baby seems healthy in every other way.
A newborn, in fact may sleep most of the day, though his sleep alternates between periods of wakefulness and deep sleep. By 3-4 months most babies have generally learnt to sleep in an apparently uninterrupted stretch of 6-8 hours, at night provided you schedule their feeding, bathing and playtime during daytime. By 7-12 months they should be accustomed to taking their long sleep at your convenience namely at night. When he is one to two years old, his sleeping hours lessen but his sleep is more sound. He sleeps around twelve hours at night and three hours or so during the day.
When he is three years or more, he may resist his afternoon sleep and may only have a short nap. At times he does not want to sleep at all in the afternoon. A child may stop his afternoon nap after he is six years of age. If your child wakes up fresh, is full of energy the next day, not irritable, his usual self, then he is getting enough sleep for his needs.
Where should a child sleep at night?
Initially, a newborn sleeps with the mother in his bed or in a baby cot next to her. He needs constant care, feeding and regular change of nappies. At around nine months old, his cot can be shifted to a separate room or preferably to a corner in the same room. It is at this stage that most sleeping habits, good or bad develop, and once formed are difficult to change. In our country due to shortage of space, economic compulsions and cultural habits children continue to sleep in the same bed with the parents or in a separate cot in the same room.
For how long should the baby sleep in the day?
Even after your baby begins to sleep through the night, he will require one or two naps during the day. By the time he is a year old, a set pattern for his naps will emerge. Some babies nap right after breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch or in the late afternoon. Their naps can be as short as 20 minutes and as long as four hours. Napping depends on each babys individual needs.
What are the causes for bad sleep?
The child may have got into the habit of not sleeping soundly. Or he may have difficulty going to bed because of distraction at home. In early infancy, lack of sleep is usually due to hunger, increased ingestion of air giving rise to colic, over-clothing, as well as due to over-handling.
Due to climatic changes, a babys nose gets blocked due to dryness making it difficult for him to breathe through the nose, resulting in disturbed sleep. During the day most mothers change the nappies as soon as they are wet. Some people feel there is no harm in letting the child sleep with a wet nappy unless he has a bad rash, but children are more comfortable with a dry nappy. Mothers generally put the child to sleep in their lap and then put him to bed. On waking up at night he starts crying when he realises he is not in his mothers lap. It is better to put the child on the cot in a state of semi-wakefulness and then let him fall asleep there.
Many mothers have the habit of picking up the child when he makes the slightest noise or when he is in a state of semi-wakefulness. If you pick up the child for every trivial reason, chances are that he will develop a habit of being carried around, a habit, which will be very difficult to change later.
A toddler at the age of two to three years becomes rather independent and enjoys defying his mother. At other times he is afraid of losing her. In such cases, a little reassurance and understanding is required. Children need to feel secure and loved. Make sure that the child is never excited at bedtime. If your child gets up crying in the middle of the night and scratches his bottom, chances are that he is suffering from pinworm infestation. Consult your paediatrician for the treatment.
After a child is six years of age, the usual causes of difficulty in sleeping are hard work at school or excessive play, leading to fatigue and over-exertion. A child who is under-nourished or anaemic or has problems at school or at home will also have difficulty in going to sleep.
To avoid unpleasantness it is always good to give advance notice to the child that bedtime is approaching. He may be busy watching television or reading a book. If you tell him that it is his bedtime and he should finish whatever he is doing in the next few minutes, there is less chance of a revolt. It is good to make sure that his room is properly ventilated and that he has a comfortable bed. If the child wants to take a doll or a toy or a piece of blanket with him to bed, let him do it. It is good to indulge him occasionally. He may like to keep the bed lamp on or the door open. But be firm when it is bedtime and do not give in to his demands to stay up late. If he refuses, hold him by the hand and take him to bed but do not punish him.
Most bad habits have their beginning in infancy and by the age of two it is difficult to get rid of them. A bad sleeping habit which has been present for a long time will not disappear in a few days. You will need all your tact, patience, firmness and your doctors advice to solve the problem.
What should you do if the child is awake the whole night?
After 6-9 months of age the babys waking at night, despite having been fed and tucked in should be handled with a resolute firmness and consistency, so that by experience the baby learns that there is a quiet time for all the members of the family and that has to be respected.
If the child cries on being placed in the crib at night and is otherwise healthy, or awakes crying in the middle of the night as a means of getting attention or food, then he should be reassured by minimum amount of physical contact. You should then depart from there and return after longer and longer intervals. This technique often allows the child to establish his own ability to fall back to sleep without any significant parental intervention.
The child should grow up with the idea that he is to stay in bed until morning. Be firm about not allowing him into your bed. If the child must be comforted, it should be done in his own bed.
Most children give up their crib by 18-24 months. If a shift is planned in the place your child sleeps due to the arrival of another sibling, the move should occur several weeks before or after the arrival of the new baby so as not to convey the sense of being displaced by the new family member.

In 1903, kunzite was discovered in the Pala District of San Diego County, California. See this link for a fascinating history of the gem's discovery and naming, as well as some great photographs of the original finds. Read a synopsis below and check out the images shown here from inspiring jewelry artisans on Etsy who use Kunzite in their work. [To the right is karensugarmandesigns' gorgeous kunzite and tourmaline necklace; just below to the left are some sweet little kunzite pendants from Hulamoonjewelry]
The mysterious gem was described at the time as an unidentified pink crystal, and sent to George Frederick Kunz, Tiffany & Company's mineralogist. Kunz was a legendary jeweler, having also served as a vice president and buyer for Tiffany and Co., and had particular expertise in colored stones. He confirmed that in fact, the crystals were "Spodumene", a lithium aluminum inosilicate. But it had never been found in this color, and thus it was proclaimed a new variety of the mineral.
This beautiful gem has come to be quite popular and desirable. Ranging in beautiful shades of pink and violet, it is difficult to cut because it has two cleavage directions. But once finished, it has a magnificent showing.
In the years since, kunzite has proven to be a highly desirable gem. Occurring in attractive shades of pink to violet, kunzite crystals are also often large, with relatively few inclusions. Though difficult to cut due to its two cleavage directions, it lends itself to lovely finished gems that show magnificently in fine jewelry.
In 1996, a 47-carat kunzite ring sold for over $410,000 at a Sotheby's auction of the Estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Sadly, President Kennedy had purchased it as a gift for her, but never had the chance to give it to her.
Today most Kunzite is found in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Some say it is a protective stone, dispelling negativity and raising a shield around the aura against unwanted threats and influences. It is also is described as a 'Celestial Doorway', breaking through the barriers of time into the infinite – a stone to be used with those who are dying, to let the departing soul what it needs to ease the transition into enlightenment.
[At the right is a kunzite crystal necklace from CrazyAssJD; at the left is George Frederick Kunz, mentioned above.]
Whether you believe in such spiritual 'powers' or not, it is undeniably beautiful. Check out the images shown here of George Frederick Kunz and from inspiring jewelry artisans on Etsy who use kunzite in their work.
If you have experience working with kunzite or any crystal jewelry, please tell us about it via the comment section below.
Until Next Time,

Baja Oklahoma Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Literary Precedents on Baja Oklahoma by Dan Jenkins.
Preview of Baja Oklahoma Summary:
Baja Oklahoma is something of an anomaly; while recognizably the work of Dan Jenkins, its social concerns are different from those of SemiTough (1972) and Jenkins's other novels. Set in Herb's Cafe, a Fort Worth bar, the novel deals with the place of a woman in a culture completely dominated by masculine values. Baja Oklahoma examines the social position and possibilities of a twice-divorced, middle-aged waitress in a blue-collar bar...

Sixth grade parents, Tdap, a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis containing vaccine, will be required for 7th graders in school year 2008/09. This vaccine contains pertussis. Pertussis is a disease that can be transmitted by adolescents and adults to babies and can cause severe illness, even death. The vaccine protection that kindergartners have against pertussis generally provides little, if any, protection by the time a child is in seventh grade. Vaccination Information Sheets are available at the schools.
Signs and symptoms of Pertussis:
- Early symptoms are similar to the common cold-mild fever, funny nose, and cough
- Symptoms generally progress to severe, persistent coughing episodes
- Coughing episodes may cause vomiting, a hernia, or a broken rib
- Pertussis can last for 106 days on average and can lead to pneumonia.
Health Center (CHC) staff nurses, in partnership with Jackson County
School District #9, will be providing Tdap immunizations at D9 Middle
Schools in January and February for 6th graders, ages 11-12.
immunization clinics will be provided without charge but copies of

ABFA Viesel Interview
The latest installment of ABFA's ongoing video series continues to tell the stories of innovation of the burgeoning advanced biofuels industry through the companies producing renewable gallons and breaking ground on new facilities – our members. Today we profile Viesel Fuel, which operates the only facility in the world using a combination of enzymes and resins to produce up to 11 million gallons of biodiesel a year.
ABFA spoke with Stu Lamb, President & CEO of Viesel Fuels, about our technology and the role of public policy on the growing advanced biofuels industry. "Viesel is a small refinery in Stuart, Florida that manufactures biodiesel, and we manufacture with a very unique process whereby we use resins and we use enzymes and we're the only people in the world that use that combination," said Lamb.
Interviewee: Stuart Lamb
Stuart Lamb: I'm Stu Lamb, I'm the president and owner of Viesel Fuels in Stuart, Florida.
Mary Ellen: Tell me about Viesel.
Stuart Lamb: Well Viesel is a small refinery in Stuart, Florida that manufactures biodiesel, and we manufacture with a very unique process whereby we use resins and we use enzymes and were the only people in the world that use that combination. And it's a very cost affective low capitol process that allows us to make biodiesel to certification and were probably the lowest cost producer in the United States
Mary Ellen: And where are you again?
Stuart Lamb: In Stuart, Florida.
Mary Ellen: So tell me a little bit about how Viesel is impacted by public policy.
Stuart Lamb: Well you know we have to operate with mandates that the government establishes, and if the mandates are insecure it doesn't allow us to work effectively and to plan and to get financial backing, if the policies the government has are inconsistent then we can't go to the marketplace to get strong financial institutions to back our innovations and growth. And that puts a lot of stress on us and therefore we can't prosper.
Mary Ellen: So what would you like to tell the government with regard to growing the industry?
Stuart Lamb: Consistency, consistency, consistency. We need a policy that we can understand that's going to be consistent and that we can count on, we need the government as our partner, an d if the government can't be consistent in partnership than we can flourish
Mary Ellen: Tell me you know is there anything else that could like to add or talk about in regard to production
Stuart Lamb: Well our production is very unique in that we use an enzymes and that the enzymes allow us to use varied amounts of feedstocks, any kind of feed stocks that are ….(restart question/response)
Mary Ellen: So tell me about production about commercialization.
Stuart Lamb: Our production is very unique because we can use various feedstocks, and the feedstocks we use quite frankly are recycled products, their practically worthless rights now and we can take these enzymes and them into a valued added product which turns out to be a renewable fuel.
Mary Ellen: Are you putting fuel into the market, are you creating RINs?
Stuart: We are absolutely creating RINs, we are absolutely creating gallons and we are going to be on track to produce about ten million gallons this year.
Mary Ellen: Excellent, can you explain a little bit more behind that?
Stuart: Well let's just starts this, we're currently in production, and we're going to produce about ten million gallons of biodiesel this year using enzymes and using a variation of feedstock's, were going to use some used cooking oil, we going to use some yellow grease, and were going to use some fish oil. And all of those are going to add up to be a wonderful biofuel.
Mary Ellen: I think that's good. What is the biodiesel being used for?
Stuart: Well we're using this biodiesel that's being used in the transportation market, its being used in the marine market, in the agriculture market, we have a great deal of agriculture in Florida, and we sell to the farmers and to the transporters of livestock and the transporters of all sorts of grains and products throughout Florida.
Mary Ellen: I think that's good.
Stuart: Ok.
