Bureij (Arabic: البريج) is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the central Gaza Strip east of the Salah al-Din Road in the Deir al-Balah Governorate. The camp's total land area is 529 dunums and in 2005, it had a population of 34,951 with 28,770 registered refugees.[1][2]

The camp was established in 1949 with a population of 13,000 Palestinians from the broader Gaza area. A small percentage of the refugees were housed in the British army barracks but the bulk of them were housed in tents.[3] The UNRWA built concrete homes in 1950 to replace the tents.
Most of the refugees today, like those in most camps in the Gaza Strip today, live in densely populated buildings. The camp does not have a sewage system and most waste accumulates in the Wadi Gaza, a stream north of the camp, and as a result poses a health hazard. Most of the camp's water comes from an Israeli water company.[4]
Bureij has six primary and two secondary schools with a population of 9,306 pupils at the end of 2004. All schools are operated by the UNRWA.
Incidents in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
On the night of 28 August 1953 bombs were thrown through the windows of huts in which refugees were sleeping and, as they fled, they were attacked by small arms and automatic weapons. According to Gelber, after one month of Unit 101 starting training "a patrol of the unit [] infiltrated into the Gaza Strip as an exercise, encountered [Palestinians] in al-Bureij refugee camp, opened fire to rescue itself and left behind about 30 killed Arabs and dozens of wounded."[5] According to Bishara 43 Palestinian civilians with seven women amongst them were killed, and 22 wounded.[6] The Mixed Armistice Commission report put the total at " 20" killed and twenty-seven seriously wounded and thirty-five less seriously wounded. Unit 101 suffered two wounded soldiers. Ariel Sharon, who had personally led the attack wrote in his report:
- "The enemy opened fire on me from the northwest... I decided that it was better to pass through the camp and slip out the other side than to go back the way I came, because crops, gardens, barbed wire and guards made it difficult to move in that direction... I also decided that offensive action was better than giving the impression that we were attempting to escape... Therefore I invaded the camp with my group."[6]
The raid was heavily condemned by the Mixed Armistice Commission, who called it "an appalling case of deliberate mass murder", the raid was publicly criticized in the Israeli cabinet by at least one minister.[7] The Mixed Armistice Commission, in an emergency meeting, adopted by a majority vote a resolution according to which the attack was made by a group of armed Israelis. Major General Bennike Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization stated that it was "probable in view of the fact that a quarter of the Israel complaints during the preceding four weeks referred to infiltration in this area" that the likely explanation was a "ruthless reprisal raid".[8]
On 22 August 1988, Hani al-Shami from Bureij was killed by Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade.[9] Maher Mahmud al-Makadma was shot and killed by IDF troops while painting slogans on 4 October 1989.[10] On 20 September 1990, an Israeli soldier in civilian clothes either took a wrong turn into Bureij or broke down and walked into the refugee camp where he was killed by a lynch mob.[11]
On 11 March 2002, a mass round-up of Palestinians took place when tanks entered the Bureij refugee camp killing two people.[12] An IDF raid on 6 December 2002 by Israeli tanks and helicopter gunships led to 10 people being killed. A UN investigation found that eight of those killed in the attack were unarmed civilians. Of those, two were UN employees.[13][14] On 6 March 2004 an Israeli raiding force was ambushed and came under fire.[15]
An IDF raid on Bureij refugee camp in July 2007 by approximately 10 tanks and two bulldozers backed by helicopters was ambushed by members of Hamas's armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades killing an IDF soldier.[16] On 6 October 2007, Israeli forces breaking into the eastern part of the camp with the cover of Israeli aircraft led to armed clashes in the camp.[17]
An extra judicial assassination occurred on 27 February 2008 in the camp.[18] During the Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip in January 2009 ten people were injured at a UN health centre in the Bureij refugee camp and four people killed with 16 others wounded in a market.[19][20]

On March 23rd, 2015, while flying home from our annual vacation, others on the plane were reading, playing video games, and napping. I, on the other hand, was having fun seeing if I could create an online hangman game for the new "Sports, Games, and Fun" section on the site.
By the time we landed in Minneapolis I had the basic game working, but it took several more days of "work" to include all of the features I wanted to add to it.
But I must confess. The additional time needed to complete the game was also partly due to constantly getting caught up in playing my own hangman game. I had forgotten how much fun we used to have playing the game as kids! Of course, back then all we had to work with was paper and pencil.
Over 750 built-in words for 1 or 2 player games.
Game keeps a running score of the number of wins out of the number of tries.
You can enter your own list of hangman words. This means parents can enter vocabulary words so their kids can have fun while learning their spelling words.
The 2 player game includes an option that allows each player to enter and hide one word at a time for the other to guess. In this case, half the fun is seeing what funny words or short phrases you can come up with for each other.
Push button keypad to also accommodate touch-enabled devices.
An entered word can contain multiple words (Ohio, New York, United States of America, etc).
With that I invite to play free online hangman.
Check Out My Other Super
Sports, Games, and Fun Web Apps
To Help You To
Have Fun ...
Load Word List and Hide from View: This button will appear if you choose to enter your own list of words. Once you finish entering or pasting in your list of hangman words, clicking this button will save the words internally and hide the list.
Generate Random Word and Start Guessing: This button will appear if you choose to have the game randomly choose words from its built-in list. Clicking the button will select a random category, and then a random word within that category.
Hide Word and Have Opponent Start Guessing: This button, along with a text field, will appear if you are playing a 2 player game and have chosen to take turns entering a word for each other. The placeholder text in the field will indicate whose turn it is to enter a word. Once the word has been entered, clicking the button will hide the word and display the blank lines for the opponent to try to guess.
Choose One of My Words and Start Guessing: This button will appear if you have chosen to enter your own list of words. Clicking the button will randomly select a word from your internally stored list, and then removes it from the list.
Over 750 Built-In Words: When directed to do so, the online hangman game randomly selects from an internal list of 750 words covering the following word categories.

RAIL: Reigate Railway Station is less than 10 minutes walk away, with Redhill Station about 2 miles away.

CAR: The A25 (east/west) and A217 (north/south) meet in Reigate and traffic circulates via a one-way system. If you are arriving via the M25, exit at junction 8 and follow the signs for Reigate Town Centre via the A217, turning left into Bancroft Road.

Civil, religious and military commemorations have been staged across Northern Ireland to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.
Thousands of soldiers from north and south of the Irish border died during the bloody First World War battle which began on July 1 1916 and lasted for 141 days.
One hundred years later communities paused to reflect on the magnitude of the loss.
In Belfast, the city council passed a resolution marking the anniversary, before Lord Mayor Brian Kingston led a wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph.
He was joined by Under Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Ben Wallace and the Irish Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar.
Elsewhere, an overnight vigil was held at the Somme Heritage Museum in Co Down.
And, just before 7.30am - the same time as soldiers were ordered out of the trenches and into the line of enemy fire - there was a gun salute by 206 (Ulster Battery Royal Artillery) at Hillsborough Castle, the Queen's official resident in Northern Ireland.
Soldiers based in the region gathered at Thiepval Barracks in Lisburn, Co Antrim, to take part in an act of remembrance.
Senior Chaplain to 38 (Irish) Brigade Reverend Alex Bennett said the sacrifice, not only across the UK and Commonwealth, but also from those Irish soldiers who gave their lives at the Somme and also in other battles of the First World War should never be forgotten.
A wreath was laid by the Deputy Commander of 38 (Irish) Brigade Colonel Jamie Piggott at the Memorial to the 36th (Ulster) Division at the Lisburn headquarters on behalf of the Armed Forces in Northern Ireland.
The Last Post was sounded by 2 Rifles based in Thiepval Barracks and the lament - Battle of The Somme - was played by Piper Grant Robertson of 1 Scots based at Palace Barracks on the edge of east Belfast.
Meanwhile, in Londonderry, the centenary was marked with a parade, drumhead service and launch of a First World War memorial in the grounds of St Columb's Cathedral and in Co Fermanagh, a commemoration service was held at Enniskillen Castle.
Later, an ecumenical service of reflection is expected to take place in St Macartin's Cathedral in the town where a new memorial window in honour of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers casualties of the war will be dedicated.

Enviromon R5.21.5 emw32.exe JPEG export bug
I found what seems to be a bug in emw32.exe. I'm running on windows XP service pack 3 with a EL005 logger connected to a few EL041 units. I've got each EL041 setup as a group (i.e four inputs per group) in Enviromon.
The graph view is set to draw a single graph. Switching between groups in the graph view works as expected, but using emw32.exe -j to export the graphs does not.
Here are the commands I use:
echo Produce graph - oven 1
emw32 -j.\html\images\oven1.jpg,600,400,75 -rend-4hour,now -goven1
echo Produce graph - oven 2
emw32 -j.\html\images\oven2.jpg,600,400,75 -rend-4hour,now -goven2
This generates two JPEG files with four temperature series each. The first JPEG is correct, but in the second JPEG only the first series changes to the first input for oven 2. The rest of the series are the same as the JPEG for oven 1. Keep in mind that the groups are set up correctly because they work correctly in the graph view.
Incase it is unclear:
Here is what I expect:
Oven 1 jpeg - temp1, temp2, temp3, temp4 (i.e group for oven 1)
Oven 2 jpeg - temp5, temp6, temp7, temp8 (i.e group for oven 2)
Here is what I get:
Oven 1 jpeg - temp1, temp2, temp3, temp4 (i.e group for oven 1)
Oven 2 jpeg - temp5, temp2, temp3, temp4 (i.e not the group for oven 2)

Book Review: Mighty Fine Words and Smashing Expressions
Do you know the difference between crisps and chips? How about between a boot and a trunk? Or between an identity parade and a lineup? The difference is that in each case the first term is British and the second is American. Otherwise, they are the same.
Mighty Fine Words and Smashing Expressions, by lexicographer Orin Hargraves, is a must-have book for anyone interested in the differences between the British and American dialects. Hargraves systematically documents and explains these differences.
Chapter one addresses spelling and morphological differences, such as the American tendency to use a single L where the British would use LL as in woolen/woollen or ending words in –og or –ogue, as in analog/analogue. The next chapter deals with variations in word choice, such as the American tendency to use around where the British tend to use about.
Then we come to the core of the book. The next nine chapters address various aspects of life and society and document the linguistic differences between American and British vocabularies. There is a chapter on money and business, one on government and law, on sports, medicine, and education. Every major aspect of life in either country is covered.
In addition to simply documenting the vocabulary differences, Mighty Fine Words is useful as a cultural guide as well. For example, the book does not simply say that the US House of Representatives and the US Senate correspond roughly to the British House of Commons and House of Lords, but it also describes the fundamental rules of these bodies and how the legislative process works in each country. The rules of baseball and cricket are compared and contrasted as is the difference in the "news" covered by the Sun v. the National Enquirer. And the process by which doctors are educated in both countries is described.
Hargraves has done yeoman's work in the research. Inevitably, when one writes a book of this broad scope there are bound to be a few errors. For example, Hargraves identifies the cloture rule with the US House of Representatives when it is really a term with significance in the Senate. But these errors are few and minor.
Also of value is that Hargraves takes a culturally neutral stance. This is a book that will be valuable on both sides of the Atlantic. He does not simply seek to explain Britain to Americans or America to the British, but he explains the language to audiences on both sides of the pond.
This book deserves a space on the shelves of word lovers in both Britain and North America and the copies purchased will quickly become well-thumbed and creased from continual reference.

Angevine also recorded three solo tackles, including one for loss, as the Lutes defeated the previously undefeated and nationally ranked Willamette Bearcats. Angevine's interception was his team-leading fifth of the season.

Mental Illness--Debunking the myths/sharing some insight..
Mental illness. It is an often misunderstood series of brain disorders that often nurses roll their eyes at, decline to care for, or do so under duress. If a nurse takes a moment to really think through some of the more commonly seen disorders, it can change the way that mentally ill people are treated in the health care setting.Mental illness is a most misunderstood illness. The brain is an interesting organ, and reacts differently to/or lack thereof chemicals to make it work properly. Mental illness can be a difficult thing to treat. It can be equally challenging for a nurse to provide care. However, here are some common myths/insights surrounding the mentally ill that will perhaps make a nurse take pause the next time you are given an assignment of someone suffering from mental illness.
1. Schizophrenics ABSOLUTELY believe their delusions to be true. They don't make this stuff up. They believe that the government is watching them as much as one believes the grass to be green. So by saying "Oh, that is NOT true, stop it" you are not helping. To help in a alternate way, saying something like "let's talk about right now, and what we need to do now" can be enough to direct a schizophrenic patient into the present to be on task. It can be hard to keep a schizophrenic on meds. For the chronically long term schizophrenics, it is the only "normal" they know.
2. "I think I am having a nervous breakdown". Mentally ill people who are chronically and severely mentally ill believe themselves to be perfectly sane. It is the rest of us who are "crazy". Anxiety disorders are the most common cause of "I think I am dying/going crazy thoughts.
3. Mentally ill people are not ignorant, less intelligent, or unable to live a "normal" life. Mental illness does not equate stupid. It is not a character defect.
4. "I don't understand why you are depressed. There's a heck of a lot of suffering in this world and other people are coping JUST fine". People don't ask for depression. People can not just "snap out of it" or believe me, a number would. Most people who are depressed would do just about anything to feel well again. It is an exhausting illness.
5. People who are bipolar can tend to lean toward mania. The feeling of being on top of the world. A number of patients who abuse uppers are in fact bipolar. Reasoning includes not enjoying the downward spiral that a bipolar patient experiences. Another mentally and physically exhausting mental illness. Support for drug addicted patients should include a consult to rule out bipolar disorder.
6. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a multitude of symptoms under one heading. One of the most "dreaded" for some is the personality disordered. This is a tough one, however, if the nurse can keep in the back of their mind that in fact PTSD is the effect of trauma. Severe enough to cause the personality portions of the brain to not function properly. These patients have seen horrors that only most of us can ever imagine. That they have the fortitude to be alive is telling. That they can act child like is equally as telling as to when their abuses began. There are members of our armed forces that have severe PTSD. Again, remember--horrors that we can only imagine.
7. Children who are mentally ill are not automatically products of poor parenting. "Well, that kid could use a rule or 2 and a swat on the behind". That can't happen. People can not hit their children into submission, nor should they. If a child's brain is not functioning as it should, rules are gibberish. Support and coping skills for parents are equally important. Team meetings detailing support and exactly how parents are to re-enforce learned coping skills are a must.
Nursing mentally ill patients can be a big challenge. Often, if we change how we see a patient who suffers from mental illness it can make leaps and bounds on how we can help each patient reach their full potential.Last edit by tnbutterfly on May 4, '13

from USMay 4, '13Where's the bowing smilie when you need it........THANK YOU for this excellent essay!! As a nurse, I appreciate your understanding of the science behind brain disorders; as a patient, I appreciate your understanding, period.May 5, '13Thank you for including point #4. It's the one that irks me the most. I can't count how many times I've heard, "just think happy thoughts" BS, like it's supposed to make everything magically better.May 5, '13AWESOME ARTICLE!
I am #6... with the trait of #5. I did well with my trait, having up to 3 jobs at one time...when #6 entered my life, it certainly changed.
#6 for me, is a separation from the world... life is truly different, a spectator amongst the living...like being encased in a time-warped bubble that feels as though there is no chance of popping.
Everyone has some form of a trait, and mental illness is not relegated to psych wards, and won't "go away" and can be "ignored" while we are supposed to treat our patients.
I find myself more in tuned where someone is coping from, and have led to a transformational shift of how readily a person will take a medication, help with discharge planning, etc. In the midst of my own health, I realized how it made me a better nurse.
If more nurses were inclined to be holistic as we are supposed to be, we can truly empower mental illness, even if it means looking at ourselves in the mirror.May 5, '13Oh trust me #2 is very true. Maybe not with the mood disorders, but certainly with the psychotic disorders. If only I had a dollar for every time a delusional pt tells me, "No, don't you see, the police CAME into my house and left those three beans in my colander to harrass me, you must be Tue crazy one if you don't believe me". #1 is so true. If I had a psychotic disorder, I would rather have hallucinations than delusions. Hallucinations are far easier to treat with meds than delusions. Once we get into delusions, you're dealing with a person's core beliefs and damn if that isn't hard. Thank you for this. It's helpful to know people out there understand that the mentally ill don't leave their somatic issues at the door. In fact many of them get substandard somatic care because , "its all in their head". As a nurse and a person with Bipolar type 2, I thank you.May 5, '13As a number 6 I can tell you sometimes you don't even know what the horror was but it attacks every part of your life. Relentlessly. Well written.May 6, '13Quote from dirtyhippiegirlThank you. We can agree to disagree. And if was put best when stated that you are really attempting to change someone's core beliefs, and that doesn't always work out well. Top that with some grandiose thinking on the part of a psychotic disordered, and then you have a patient who truly and honestly believes that they are to "save the world" with their messages, and with extremely good intentions. So it becomes heartbreaking at times, as delusional patients most often will mean well, and the part of the brain that stimulates us when watching say a movie, the delusional can internalize and believe it to be anything from a hidden message to something they need to share with the world. Imagine being compelled to do so, and the "world" not believing you and you are left with the "what is WRONG with people" feelings that are overwhelming.....Don't agree with #2 at all but everything else was nice.May 6, '13I would like to add to number 4 -
"What could you possibly have to be depressed about?" Depression is about how you see yourself, your perspective. And no, making decent money at a job doesn't mean you "don't have anything to be depressed about."May 6, '13Since most mental illnesses are considered chemical imbalances, more research needs to be done on the major supplier of chemicals to the body, ie food.May 6, '13Quote from DizzyLizzyNurseIf I could like this a million times, I would!I would like to add to number 4 -
"What could you possibly have to be depressed about?" Depression is about how you see yourself, your perspective. And no, making decent money at a job doesn't mean you "don't have anything to be depressed about."May 7, '13Quote from TerpGal02From my purely ancedotal experience as patient interacting with other patients who were psychotic, I've found psychosis to be a lot more nuanced than the blanket statement that all psychotics believe all of their hallucinations and delusions 100%. It's like assuming that every 60 lb anorexic actually believes that she's 200 lbs. I've met - chatted with for hours during those long down periods during hospitalizations - plenty of psychotic individuals who would qualify as being chronically, severely mentally ill who, for instance, might believe in *some* of their delusions but understood perfectly that their hallucinations weren't real. I've met bipolar folks in the height of a textbook manic episode who *knew* that they were having a manic episode, even if they also thought that they were the president of the US. I talked with one patient who knew that he was having delusions, but thought those delusions were implanted by another delusion. (lol)Oh trust me #2 is very true. Maybe not with the mood disorders, but certainly with the psychotic disorders. If only I had a dollar for every time a delusional pt tells me, "No, don't you see, the police CAME into my house and left those three beans in my colander to harrass me, you must be Tue crazy one if you don't believe me". #1 is so true.

It's helpful to know people out there understand that the mentally ill don't leave their somatic issues at the door. In fact many of them get substandard somatic care because , "its all in their head". As a nurse and a person with Bipolar type 2, I thank you.
Within the justice system, it's how someone with a long history of severe mental illness can kill another person - often with the fixed belief that said person is "bad" or will be better off dead - but is still held accountable because they knew that actually committing the act of murder was wrong.
Duality of thought -- the skeptical believer, the apologist -- or normal, every day folks who become entrenched in abusive relationships or fall prey to things like Stockholm Syndrome are perfectly acceptable and even considered to be part of the human experience. Don't underestimate the severely psychotic individual's to also be part of that experience.May 7, '13Unmedicated psychotics as a general rule do believe their psychosis to be true. Medications do act as a buffer for most to clear the mind enough to distinguish.
And we shall agree to disagree, as part of the diagnosis of those who are anorexics do believe themselves to be obese.

(Reuters) – All 338 high school students and teachers on board a South Korean passenger ferry that was reported to be sinking on Wednesday have been rescued, a school official told Reuters.
The ferry, identified as the Sewol, was carrying about 470 passengers, including the students and teachers, en route to Jeju island, about 100 km (60 miles) south of the Korean peninsula.
It sent a distress signal after it began to list badly.

Harvest is delayed in many parts of the country, Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend, and we're going to spend far too much time fumbling around machinery after sunset as we wrap up this year's harvest. Here are some options to prevent cursing the darkness:
-good old D-cell flashlights. They work, they're cheap and we've all got one rolling around under our pickup's seat. But unless you're an expert at clamping one of them in your armpit while you make repairs, they're pretty much an inspection tool.
-120-volt or battery-powered "trouble lights" come in dozens of sizes and designs. Some have incandescent bulbs, many have flourescent bulbs, and the latest versions have LED lights. Depending on the design, they may have magnets or hooks or small stands to position them to shine their light on specific parts of the machine. Good for repairs and maintenance, a little bulky for quick inspections.
-pocket flashlights now come in a variety of designs. Pencil-style flashlights with LED bulbs can provide surprising illumination and are easy to carry in a shirt pocket. I use a variation that is about 4-inches long, an inch in diameter, and admittedly clunky in my shirt pocket---but the little rascal puts out a lot of light. Probably best used for inspections and quick work after dark, but I've used mine for a lot of repairs and maintenance work, to the point where it would be wise for me to buy the optional rubber sleeve that fits around the barrel, so my teeth aren't biting metal when I hold it in my mouth to free up both hands. No kidding--some of the pocket lights have rubber sleeves just so you can comfortably hold them in your teeth if necessary.
-"hat lights" come in a variety of designs. Some are the traditional coon-hunter headbands, that use battery packs and LED lights mounted on a headband so that wherever you look, that's where the light is aimed. There are smaller units that clip or clamp onto the brim of baseball-style caps. A third option is a baseball cap that has two or three LED lights built into the brim. They aren't obnoxiously large bulbs, and you simply squeeze a button or slide a switch to turn on the lights. I've never used them, don't know how bright they are or how long the batteries last, but...any light is better than no light when the combine, grain cart, bin auger or trailer brakes are making funny noises in the middle of the darkest field you farm.
Must try the Stream light flashlight,got it off Snap-on truck, $30.00or so, best little flashlight to carry in your pocket, about the size of a Sharpie, but bright enough to check cattle with two little AA batteries, runs for 6 months on a set. LEDs are awesome.
Best led lights I've had for many years now they will last at 10 years or longer, have even ran over them with a truck and doesn't even phase them. Atd tools make a hand held work light called the Saber. For about 25.00 bucks u can't beat it for a greater light at night. Part number is ATD-80118. Look it up on the net.

Barack Obama's visit to Israel for the first time as US President on Wednesday, march 20, is high on symbolism but low on expectations.
Low expectations on Obama visit to Middle East
Low expectations on Obama visit to Middle East
He brings with him no new solutions for peace between Israel and the Palestinian territories, no new strategy for ending the war in Syria and no new plan to prevent a nuclear armed Iran.
This flies in the face of the policy in his first term in office when aides said he would only visit Israel if he has something concrete to accomplish.
The carefully choreographed three-day trip instead aims at resetting the President's often strained relations with Israelis and Palestinians.
For Saeb Erekat the Chief Palestinian negotiator it seems to be starting well:"We appreciate President Obama's visit to Palestine," he said "President Obama in his second term could have chosen any place on Earth to go but he chose to come to Palestine, Jordan and Israel and this reflects the deep commitment by President Obama to see the implementation of the two-state solution on 1967."
One of President Obama's first acts will be to inspect the US-funded Iron Dome anti-missile battery which helps to protect Israeli's from Hamas rockets coming from Gaza.
This is touted by the US as a prime example of its commitment to Israeli security.

Jason and Natalie – Indiana and Iraq
My husband and I would like to share how God has strengthened and provided for us as a military family, specifically through deployment.
When our first son, Matthew, was 1 month old exactly, the 9-11 terrorist attacks took place on America. Jason had always wanted to be a soldier and felt called to join the National Guard at this time. I was hesitant; I was a new wife and mom and really still a new Christian as well. I worried a lot about the possibility of deployment. But there was no denying that this was what Jason should be doing. It was what he was great at.
There were many weeks that he was gone throughout the next years for training or hurricane relief, but the Lord spared us from 3 deployments early in his career. God worked through promotions and moves to different units just in time to keep him home. And though the guard took a lot of his time from our growing family, we were so blessed to not have to go through a lengthy overseas deployment at this young stage in our faith and family. I knew his time would eventually come, though I believe that I was so afraid of losing him that I wasn't trusting the Lord fully. It took more of these long absences for us to rely on God. And a really big one was coming.
Our first overseas deployment came in 2008. After years of being on the lists to go to Bosnia, then Afghanistan and Iraq, he had his first official "alert" to go with the 76th Brigade. His position would be convoy commander. He would be responsible for moving equipment and supplies all over Iraq.
Our families in New York and New Jersey would have been happy for us to stay with them, though it felt like the right decision to stay in our home where we were committed to our church and involved in a home school group. It was stable for us and we felt that keeping a schedule was vital. The guard is also different than active duty army; there aren't families living near you on base that are going through the same experience. Instead, they are spread throughout the state. But our family and friends at church helped to make us feel like we weren't alone.
In the next months while we were adapting to the difficult change in our life, our church family at Sycamore Reformed Presbyterian provided schedules for friends to take turns writing to Jason, to have me over for Sunday meals, and sending over a teenager weekly, to help me in the house and to watch the kids so that I could have a little time away. It was a tremendous blessing and testimony of Christ's love.
There were difficult, but not impossible things at home. Jason and I spoke no more–sometimes less–than once a week. It was hard not to wonder where he was and if he was okay. There were repairs on the house that tested my strength to hold things down on my own. We had to have a new roof and fix the main bathroom. I took over the bills and budget completely and made my own schedule that would work for the kids and me. There were times when seeing happy couples or dads at sports games, or hearing someone complain that their spouse had to be gone overnight, felt unbearable. I wanted to be jealous, but God kept sharpening me to see that He could make me strong because of it.
Jason had very real danger all around him at times. Land mines, the pressure to keep men safe and in order, heat and sand and other new elements, always having to be alert and ready to go made his work difficult and stressful. The boys and I were together and able to go to church at least; he was alone.
I believe that we need to pour out our grief to our Heavenly Father, and admit to others that we need Him desperately. I know we both did this, and at times of great lonliness I felt at peace when I cried out to Him. Our comfort simply came from staying in God's word, praying, and depending on the Lord. We could not have done it without His Grace. We were forced to go to Him more as we didn't have each other to encourage, which has also helped us remember that He is first in our lives and before all other relationships. Because of this, we knew Him more than we ever had.
He was our comfort and strength and Father when we were alone for 11 months. Psalm 18 is a chapter that I really clung to, that we could relate to. David speaks of God as his rock, fortress and deliverer, in war and overcoming his enemies.
Another provision that helped was to read books about brave men and women who had to endure much more than we ever will. This helped us keep a godly perspective and remember there was worse that could be happening. Daughters of Destiny, edited by Noelle Wheeler, is full of these true stories, and one of my favorites.
The Lord gave us much grace to see that we could glorify God in this situation, and show His grace and protection and abundant provision for us. I am thankful for the ways He strengthened us, showing us we could handle much more than I thought we could.
He has continued to help us remember not to take each other for granted. This life is short, and though God has given us to each other for companionship as a family, ultimately we belong to Him. We can be thankful even in little things that may have irritated us before. When at times clothes or shoes are left on the floor, instead of feeling like Jason is insensitive, I remember that I am just so thankful he is here with me to use those clothes and share this house and my life.
Military life is not an ideal situation for family, but our family continues to learn that all things are possible "through Christ who strengthens me" (Phillippians 4:13).

We carried out a survey into how adults save for children, and how teenagers plan to use the money saved for them, which revealed that a whopping 62% of teens said they would put money into a savings plan if they received £10,000.
The vast majority of adults (73%) are already saving, or intend to start saving for their kids, but our study showed that some parents and grandparents are worried about the financial mistakes teens could make once they get their hands on the cash.
Our survey showed some unexpected sensible behaviour, with more than half of teens saying they would put money into education, and 21% would use it for a deposit on a home. This could be the result of finance now being taught as part of the UK's national curriculum, but the majority of teens surveyed said that they don't learn enough about financial education at school and that their money management lessons start at home.

Detroit — Kwame Kilpatrick asked a federal judge Monday to overturn his corruption conviction and order a new trial.
In a twist, Kilpatrick filed the request by himself and revealed that he has filed a complaint with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission against his taxpayer-funded lawyer, James C. Thomas.
In the 22-page filing, Kilpatrick, claimed there was insufficient evidence to convict him of racketeering conspiracy, a 20-year felony, blasted the grand jury selection process and complained about his lawyer's conduct and "blatantly prejudicial" media coverage.
"The vitriolic atmosphere culminated at the date of the verdict," Kilpatrick wrote. "The jurors refused to speak with counsel for either the defense or the government. However, the jurors did agree to engage in a press conference to answer questions from members of the press. Additionally, after the verdict was announced, a local radio station rented an airplane to fly over the city of Detroit with a derogatory message to Kilpatrick."

We are not sure if its fair to still refer to Huawei as an up-and-coming Android OEM anymore; as our our review of the Ascend Mate2 indicates, it feels like the China-based manufacturer feels quite comfortable on the world stage.
Last week, at IFA, Huawei showed up and showed out, officially revealing a few new devices on the way.
First is the 6-inch, finger print-equipped Ascend Mate7. Excerpts from the press release:
Huawei today launched Ascend Mate7 at Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) 2014, featuring a big 6-inch screen with FHD display for enhanced entertainment viewing, a slimmer 7.9mm body for increased comfort, a more powerful octa-core chipset for superior performance, and a longer-lasting 4100 mAh battery. With new single-touch fingerprint technology and EMUI 3.0, Ascend Mate7 dials up the mobile experience to make it easier for users to live life to the fullest. Ascend Mate7 is the latest big-screen smartphone from Huawei as it showcased its big ambitions as the number three smartphone vendor in the world.
Boasting octa-core architecture, Ascend Mate7 has an intelligent Huawei Kirin 925 processor made up of four large A15 1.8 GHz and four small A7 1.3 GHz chipsets which are activated in different configurations depending on the power needs of a specific app or function so the smartphone can be smarter with power management. Ascend Mate7 saves up to 50% of the battery by automatically using smaller A7 cores to power standard apps that consumers use at least 80% of the time, and kicking in the larger A15 during high-performance use such as gaming. The processor will also automatically activate additional cores when it detects that 85% to 95% of a single core's processing capability is being used.
A rare find for smartphones of this size, Ascend Mate7 is made up of more than 95% metal and features an interior structure made of a strong aluminum alloy for superior heat reduction. At only 7.9mm slim and weighing 185g, it has an ergonomically curved back for easier operation with just one hand and an ultra-narrow 2.9mm bezel that delivers a compelling screen-to-body ratio of 83%. Ascend Mate7 comes in three chic colors, moonlight silver, obsidian black and amber gold.
Also unveiled was the Ascend G7. The following are excerpts from the official press release:
Ascend G7 is a handset that can elevate anyone's style. At 7.6mm slim and weighing 165g, Ascend G7 is made using the world's leading Nano Molding Technology (NMT) to create a premium metallic unibody design and sleek frame for a richer texture and smoother touch. The 5.5-inch 1280 x 720 HD display fits with ease and comfort into one hand while the defining 0.8mm thin line on the chassis between the front and rear of the handset reflects balance and elegance. Ascend G7 is available in classic metallic colors including moonlight silver, space gray, and horizon gold.
Ascend G7 runs on Qualcomm's powerful quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and a robust 3000 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Featuring Huawei's proprietary power-saving technology that provides three power saving modes – normal, smart, and ultra power saving – Ascend G7 enables 1.2 days of heavy usage and the ability to operate for an additional 24 hours on just 10% battery power. Huawei Ascend G7 is 4G LTE-enabled to make connectivity faster and more reliable than ever before. Movies can be downloaded in minutes and work files uploaded in seconds with speeds of up to 150 Mbps.
Revel in the high-quality photos captured with Huawei Ascend G7. With a 13MP rear-facing camera boasting a 28mm wide-angle BSI lens, and a 5MP front-facing camera with an 88-degree wide-angle lens, panoramic photo horizons can be broadened both vertically and horizontally. By double clicking the down volume button, a photo can be captured in only one second. Ascend G7 provides enhanced photo editing capabilities including manual focus to adjust photos that are out of focus, and independent light measurement features for photos taken in poor lighting. The impressive camera also offers facial-enhancement capabilities while filming in video mode.

Comedian Kevin Hart turned down the chance to star opposite Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr. in Tropic Thunder, because he couldn't bring himself to portray a gay man in a comedy.
The funnyman reveals his blockbuster film career stalled in 2008 after he turned down the opportunity to join the cast of a star-studded movie, but he insists he still won't go gay for a movie role.
He tells New York radio station Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, "I can't... Not because I have any ill will or disrespect. It's because I don't think I'm really going to dive into that role 100 per cent because of insecurities about myself trying to play that part.
"The dude (Tropic Thunder character Alpa Chino) was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read. It was real flagrant... I was like, 'I can't do this'."
The role ultimately went to Brandon T. Jackson.

We find that the trust held by a customer toward a home builder is playing a central role among home shoppers as they seek to reduce uncertainty in the high-risk decision of purchasing a new home.
NEWPORT BEACH, California (PRWEB) January 15, 2013
Trust is the new currency by which customers evaluate the merits of new-home builders, according to ground-breaking national research of more than 21,500 new-home shoppers in the Lifestory Research Most Trusted Builders in America Study SM.
The study finds that three-fourths of customers (76 percent) report that trust is a critical criterion by which they evaluate the merits of a home builder before making a purchase decision, placing significant emphasis on the perceived trustworthiness of home builder brands. "Home builders need to begin to ask themselves how consumers see their brand in regards to trust if they wish to effectively compete in the current marketplace," said Lifestory Research President and CEO Eric Snider. "We find that the trust held by a customer toward a home builder is playing a central role among home shoppers as they seek to reduce uncertainty in the high-risk decision of purchasing a new home."
The Lifestory Research Most Trusted Builders in America Study tracks 133 home builder brands in the top 27 housing markets in the United States. However, for purposes of examining builders at the national level for this release, a builder brand was included if a builder was in the top 30 builders in the United States and was selling homes in at least three markets.
Based on this, the following brands were included in the national study of the Most Trusted Builders in America: Ashton Woods, Beazer, Centex, DR Horton, David Weekley, Del Webb, Drees, Gehan, Highland (TX), KB Home, KHovnanian, Lennar, M/I, Meritage, Perry, Pulte, Richmond American, Ryan, Ryland, Shea, Standard Pacific, Taylor Morrison, Toll Brothers, Trilogy by Shea Homes, and Woodside.
The Most Trusted Builder in America was Ashton Woods, the nation's 25th largest builder selling homes in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh, San Antonio and Tampa. Ashton Woods produced a Net Trust Quotient Score of 111, followed in order by David Weekley Homes (108.5), Trilogy by Shea Homes (106.9), Perry Homes (106.8), Drees Homes (106.8), Meritage Homes (104.2), Highland Homes of Texas (104.2), Taylor Morrison Homes (101.6), M/I Homes (100.8), and Woodside Homes (100.8). Trilogy by Shea Homes also was recognized as the Most Trusted Active Adult Builder in America.
In a shift away from product usage and satisfaction research, Lifestory Research's investigation focuses on how brands influence the purchase behavior of home shoppers. "We have seen a fundamental shift in consumer psychology that has occurred in response to the massive social revolution that has taken place over the last several years," Snider said. "Consumers are referencing customer advocacy organizations less for product information; instead, people are turning to their peers, friends, and digital social networks to garner opinions. Moreover, in the process of shopping for a home, consumers rely upon their direct experience they have with the multitude of builder brands in a given marketplace. As a result, we have seen brands rise in importance in the consumer purchase process."
The study, in its first year, evaluates attitudes from thousands of consumers who are actively in the process of shopping for a new home in one of the top 27 housing markets in the United States. Trust is measured through the Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score. This score is based on the fundamental perspective that every organization's customer can be divided into three categories: "advocates" are customers who feel a significant trust toward a given brand; "neutrals" are customers who trust a specific brand, but they do not see a specific brand as standing on the shoulders of other brands in regards to trust; and "antagonists" are skeptics who have little, if any, trust in a specific brand.
The most effective way to gauge the trust of a brand is to take the percentage of customers who are trust advocates and subtract the percentage of people who are distrusters. Scores are standardized (using z scores and t scores) with 100 being equal to the overall average. Scores can array above and below the 100 point average. Each Net Trust Quotient Score represents the net value of a brand on trust. A brand with a high positive score is an indication that the brand is trusted by a large portion of the target market. Conversely, a low score is an indication that the brand is not trusted by the consumer marketplace.
To qualify to participate in the study, participants must have met all of the following criteria: Household located in the metro area of one of the 27 markets in the study (see link for list of markets), a household income in excess of $50,000, between the ages of 25 and 69, actively shopping for a home during the last 90 days, and with intentions of owning their next home (versus renting).

PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) — Relief pitcher Daniel McCutchen has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, and pitchers Kyle McPherson and Justin Wilson have returned there, the Pirates announced before their Tuesday evening game at San Diego.
In addition, recently acquired bullpen arm Chad Qualls is off the bereavement list.
The right-handed McCutchen, 29, has yet to pitch with the big-league club this year due to injury, but went 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA out of the 'pen last year, striking out 47 and walking 33.
McPherson and Wilson each made their MLB debut in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Padres. McPherson put up zeroes in two innings, allowing one hit and recording two K's. Wilson started by allowing back-to-back hits, but then struck out the side in the ninth.
According to Kristy Robinson of PiratesProspects.com, it remains a strong possibility at least one of those two returns when MLB clubs expand their rosters Sept. 1.
Qualls, who was traded to the Pirates from the Yankees July 31, has allowed five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings, making seven Pirate appearances.
Multiple sources report the Pirates-Cardinals series finale next Wednesday at PNC Park will now be the featured game on ESPN that night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05.
The Pirates entered Tuesday one-and-a-half games ahead of St. Louis for one of the two National League Wild Card berths.
Tune into the Pirates Preview Show with Dan Zangrilli and Kevin Orie tonight at 8:40 on your flagship home of the Bucs, SportsRadio 93.7 The Fan, for all the latest news.

About the Book
Nate Emerson has spent the last few years wrapped in grief. It's a weary burden, but one he has inevitably come to accept. Unexpectedly, Nate finds the walls he built around himself tested when confronted with a stranger at his family's colonial homestead. Could she be the one to show him how to finally let go of the past?
Meg Grey finds herself at loose ends in the historical town of Yorktown, Virginia. Fleeing from a life she'd sooner forget, she simply wants to remain invisible. Spending a few weeks in an old farmhouse on the boundary of a Revolutionary War battlefield seems like the best way to accomplish that, yet Meg soon discovers that she isn't alone in the old, neglected home. Sights and sounds that can't be explained. Shadows and apparitions.

About the Author
at golf when she's not crafting novels.
She loves all forms of expression—writing, dancing, cooking, talking—and
does them frequently and with abandon. She loves creating endearing and
feisty characters full of humor and just a little awkwardness to keep
them "real". Although a possible mystery series is under
current exploration, her current works are primarily aligned with the contemporary
romance/chick lit genres. She is heavily active in her local NaNoWriMo
chapter, and Seeking Solace, her debut novel releasing April 2015, is the resulting product of a NaNo
project. She lives in coastal North
Carolina and uses that region as the setting for many of her stories.
