Happy Adoption Day, Kai!/
Happy Adoption Day, Kai! Andy and Sarah celebrated the finalization of their son's adoption on Wednesday, December 27, 2017.
Kai was born on July 19, 2017 and has been in the care of Sarah and Andy since his discharge from the hospital. After completing six months of post placement visits, Sarah and Andy applied for finalization and were able to squeeze in a court date at the end of 2017. Kai looked very dapper at his finalization hearing, wearing matching bow ties with his dad.
Congratulations to Sarah and Andy on their journey to becoming parents. We are so grateful to have played a role in bringing Kai to form your family of three. Thank you for your continued support of adoption!

August is right around the corner, and here in Ireland we're enjoying those rare batches of several consecutive days of sunshine between rain that we tentatively call "summer"! Holidays are being planned and taken, and if you're anything like me that means a last minute dash to the book shop, in departures or otherwise en route to getting the hell out of the city and going somewhere nice for a week or two!
I've been wondering what should be on my holiday reading list, so, with that ulterior motive on the table, I'm putting us all back in the capable hands of Heather for a summer reading guide…
Well folks, we are well into summer now, and I'd imagine some of you have been reading up a storm! There is something about reading outside, whether it's on the beach, in a hammock, in the park, or on the deck, that is immensely gratifying. Maybe it's just a big FU to snowy winter and rainy spring, but it feels awesome to get outside with a cold beverage and crack open a great summer read (I don't do e-readers y'all)!
I sent Carolyn a preliminary summer reading list a few weeks ago, but of course my list has morphed and changed since then. I was disappointed by a couple of books I was originally going to talk about, but never fear, there are always MORE BOOKS coming out! Here are a few titles I've read recently, and a bunch more that are on deck!
One Plus One, by Jojo Moyes
Jojo ripped out my heart and stomped on it with Me Before You, and I LIKED it! I went back for more emotional manipulation with her new book, and I was all in. I wanted to hug this book when I finished (books have feelings, don't they?). Single mom Jess, her math whiz daughter Tanzie, her bullied teenage son Nicky, and their slobbering flatulent dog Norman need a ride to a math competition that could change their lives. Enter tech millionaire Ed Nicholls, a man in crisis who needs an escape, and happens to have a car…
Jojo talks some more about it in this BBC interview.
My only complaint is the UK cover (above) is so much cuter than the North American one! (below)
Seconds, by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
I've been waiting a long time for the follow up to Scott Pilgrim (4 years you guys! Holy cow!), and Seconds was worth the wait.
Katie is a 29 year old chef plagued by delays in opening her own restaurant. She's also trying to figure out some messy relationships past and present. After an accident at work, she meets a house spirit (just go with me) who gives her the opportunity to change the past through the use of a magic notebook, a magic mushroom, and these instructions: "1. Write your mistake. 2. Ingest one mushroom. 3. Go to sleep. 4. Wake anew."
But what if Katie has more mistakes she wants to fix, and what if she has access to more mushrooms? What if she messes up her life by trying to fix it, and angers the house spirit while doing so?
The Queen of the Tearling, by Erika Johansen.
Kelsea is the rightful Queen of the Tear, returning after 18 years in exile to oust her evil uncle from her throne. Her actions anger the evil Red Queen from the neighbouring city of Mortmesne, and Kelsea waits for retaliation with her band of loyal Queen's Guards. I'd say it's Game of Thrones-lite, filled with magic, mayhem, and plenty of sword fights.
I didn't love this book, but it was entertaining, and I will read the sequel when it comes out, and watch the movie adaptation too! Emma Watson is attached to star as Kelsea, though I fail to see how she will pull off plain and pudgy, unless she goes full Zellweger for the role, but I like Erika's commitment to writing a regular looking heroine who has more pressing matters than boy trouble.
Summer House With Swimming Pool, by Herman Koch.
If you have read the messed up shit that goes on in Koch's novel The Dinner, you know why I can't wait to see what his twisted mind comes up with this time! This novel involves the death of famous actor Ralph Meier on Dr. Marc Schlosser's operating table, and a violent incident that occurred the summer before when both men's families vacationed at the Meier's summer house in the Mediterranean. Intrigue! I expect some psychological twists and turns from this one.
The Innocents, by Francesca Segal.
Sometimes you just want to read a book with a girl in a big tulle skirt running through a hedge maze on the cover! It doesn't hurt that it's a modern day retelling of The Age of Innocence.
The Silkworm, by Robert Galbraith.
The 2nd Cormoran Strike mystery is actually written by JK Rowling, Queen of the Universe. What other reason do you need?
The Girl With All the Gifts, by M.R. Carey.
I love a book jacket that tells you just enough to pique your interest, but still leaves you wondering what the hell the book is about. This one says:
"Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class.
When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.
Melanie is a very special girl."
I'm in, plus look at the creepy cover!
Em and the Big Hoom, by Jerry Pinto.
Imelda and Augustine aka Em and the Big Hoom are the young narrator's parents. Em is the centre of the family, but her bipolar disorder throws the family into crisis. This book was a big deal when published in India a couple of years ago, and I don't think Salman Rushdie does glowing blurbs very often, so I'm looking forward to it.
The Girls From Corona Del Mar, by Rufi Thorpe.
"Why did Lorrie Ann look graceful in beat-up Keds and shorts a bit too small for her? Why was it charming when she snorted from laughing too hard? Yes, we were jealous of her, and yet we did not hate her. She was never so much as teased by us, we roaming and bratty girls of Corona del Mar, thieves of corn nuts and orange soda, abusers of lip gloss and foul language."
I am hooked by this short passage from the book. This is about a life long friendship between "hard-hearted" Mia and "untouchably beautiful, kind" Lorrie Ann, and how things change as they grow from teen girls to women. I have it on good authority that I will love this (s'up Rachael!). I love a summery cover too!
The Rise & Fall of Great Powers, by Tom Rachman.
4 years after The Imperfectionists, it sounds like Rachman has written another winner. His main character Tooly is hiding away working at her small out of the way bookshop in Wales, when she gets a Facebook friend request that induces her to delve into her past. The Globe and Mail review spells it all out without giving too much away, aside from the book being brilliant!
Happy reading!

Hypocrisy dominates culture wars
Hypocrisy dominates culture wars
April 8 2014 by K. Allan Blume, BR Editor
For more than 20 years secularists have been saturating American minds with their list of the ultimate evils.
Their propaganda machine has successfully convinced many that the enemies of a great nation are the intolerant, bullies, narrow-minded and hate mongers. And let's not forget the recent addition of "homophobes" to the list.
Name-calling and using offensive labels are effective battle tactics when there are no reasonable weapons in your arsenal.
Of course, most of these descriptors are aimed directly at Christians. In their crusade to criminalize Christianity, secular leftists have identified those who follow Jesus Christ as the enemy of all that is alleged to be best for America's true progress.
If you pray in Jesus' name, you are said to be narrow-minded and intolerant of other religions.
Therefore, you should be denied your religious freedoms.
If you don't embrace culturally preferred deviations from biblical marriage, you are a hate monger and an intolerant homophobe. Therefore, you should be bullied into isolation and denied constitutional rights.
"Disingenuous" hardly begins to characterize the stench of hypocrisy that has surfaced from the bullies of the new world order.
Apparently they are exempt from their own message.
One of the most glaring examples is the case of
Brendan Eich
, the chief executive of Mozilla, owners of the
web browser.
He resigned April 3 amid protests surrounding his $1,000 donation to support the passage of California's
Proposition 8
, which defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Eich made the donation in 2008 – more than five years ago.
His gift was revealed two years ago when he held a senior role at
. Last month he was elevated to CEO.
At that time half of Mozilla's board quit and some company employees publicly voiced their disapproval. A public campaign called for his removal.
Ironically, the Mozilla executive is guilty of holding the same view president
Barack Obama
held before he 'evolved.'
Apparently, if you disagree with others, your voice is not tolerated, and you should not be allowed to hold a job in this country, even if you were instrumental in the success of a company that created jobs for others.
It is fair to say that the intolerant rose up, created a bully campaign, launched a narrow-minded crusade against one who disagreed with their agenda and stirred up hate against the businessman.
Absent of all basic ethical standards, the self-appointed cultural police assumed the role of judge and jury, minus the trial.
Eich lost his job. It's enough to enrage those with minimal standards of decency.
So, here is where we take a deep breath and pause, lest we get drawn into the vortex of cultural disarray.
We are tempted to rise up and fight the battle of Jericho. Or like Simon Peter, we want to draw our sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant!
Eich's case exposes serious problems with the secularists' agenda. We cannot overlook the grave realities of civilization's demise.
But we must hear the words our Savior gave us:
Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you ...
" (John 15:20, NKJ).
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you
" (Matthew 5:44, NKJ).
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you
" (Matthew 5:11-12, NKJ).
I confess that I am not prone to turn to these texts first. I am convicted by Jesus' standards.
He does not bless the enemy, and He does not endorse the actions of the persecutors. He just says to expect persecution.
I would prefer a more comfortable world – one like Christians have enjoyed in America for several hundred years. It is not easy to bless those who revile us, persecute us and lie about us. It is hard to pray for those who spitefully reject us. It is even harder to rejoice and be "exceedingly glad."
But Jesus said to take this posture. It is the superior path.
The suffering-less brand of Christianity is no longer the norm in America.
Don't read into my commentary that I am waving the white flag over America.
I have not lost the conviction that there are principles on which we must stand.
I only want to remind us that the resurrected Jesus told us to expect the things we are seeing, and He gave us principles for handling such a crisis.
As we celebrate His resurrection, remember the way the world opposed His holy life. Remember how they rejected His truth.
But most of all, remember the result – He arose in victory! Sin is defeated.
There are 'Sauls' all around us who believe they are doing the right thing. Their hypocrisy is obvious to us.
We are called to pray for their salvation. God is still able to do a 'Damascus road' experience today.
Pray every day for our country. Pray for our elected leaders. May 1 is
National Day of Prayer
. Hold prayer meetings in your home, office and church as believers unite our cries to God for the healing of our land.
Be salt and light in a dark, decaying world. Vote in the primary elections on May 6.
Our influence is necessary.

Dear Editor Blume:
I do not disagree with your editorial. What does concern me though is the posture that some of our leaders - who you would think would be out front - seems to be one of retreat.
I agree, that most important is that people need Jesus as Savior and Lord. I agree that we as the people of God are commanded to go and preach the Gospel.
But I also think we have a calling to be a voice in a rotting culture - a voice for morality and what is right and Godly.
It is like we are being encouraged to stand down, put on a happy face, and maybe babies will stop being aborted, that militant homosexuals will cease pushing their agenda, and that the pornography industry will stop making porn.
Where are the warriors? Where is the prophet? Where are the fearless men of God who will go into the public square and fight evil?

Brother Allan, I want you to know that I totally agree with your comments on today's editorial of what Christians are experiencing in our country today. What I am astonished over is the fact that Christians are shocked that persecution of God's church is taking place in the United States.
Further, your truthfulness of not turning to the Scripture you referred at first blessed my heart. I was taught several years ago through a most difficult situation at a church I was pastoring that I had to forgive and pray for those who hated me and did terrible things to me and my family. I found freedom and release when I prayed for and forgave those who persecuted me and I still love them in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Brother Allan, we in America are reacting to the intolerance of Christians in our country because we have a long time been spoiled to how easy we have had it here as children of God. I must say that this is only the beginning of the persecution and as Paul stated in 2 Timothy 3:13 - "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (KJV) We are living in those days and God's children need to be prepared. God's called men must prepare the children of God for what is coming that the church may stand strong in the love, mercy, and grace of our Savior and live by what He has taught us through the Holy Spirit and His Word.
God's blessings. Keep up the good work. Fight the good fight.

text: We got out some candles and wine glasses for our wedding anniversary earlier this month and the children loved it! They stayed at the table longer and we really had a fun mealtime. We've pulled them out a few more times since. It's a great incentive for the reluctant middle child to come to dinner and actually eat and we all have fun blowing them out afterwards.

Former champion Agnieszka Radwanska stunned world No. 1 Simona Halep in the third round of the Miami Open, winning 3-6 6-2 6-3 Saturday. Radwanska, who won in Miami in 2012, claimed six of the last seven games in the deciding set to claim the win after an hour and 48 minutes.Radwanska, who only held her serve once in the opening set, dropped just four points in the opening four games of the second, breaking twice and opening up a 4-0 lead.She broke again late in the set to even the match.Halep broke early in the third to lead 2-0 but unforced errors – 44 in total against 31 winners – proved too much for her to overcome and Radwanska emerged with the victory.

How To Properly Maintain Your Garage Door Throughout The Seasons
Summer Maintenance
Since the summer heat brings humidity and pollutants from mother nature herself, your door probably has a layer of dirt and debris both inside and out. The dirt on the outside layer isn't too much of a problem other than looking bad. The inside, however, is a totally different story.
There's a lot of moving parts going on with the mechanism that lifts and lowers your garage door. If you let too much dirt and debris build up on the inside, it will work its way into the hoist and eventually jam those moving parts. Requiring either a replacement or a professional to come and fix it. Meanwhile, your car is stranded either inside or outside the garage. Neither is preferable.
Another thing you should be doing is applying some 3 in 1 lubricant to the roller tracks and wheels. While not necessarily required, it helps your garage door open and puts less strain on the motor if you have an automatic opener, making it last longer and have less of a chance to burn out.
Fall Maitenance
As the cold weather is approaching is imperative that no weather or excess cold gets into your garage. Damages and breakdowns can occur due to unprotection not to mention rust from the moisture in the air.
Checking the weather stripping along the perimeter of your garage door to make sure there is no damage of wear from age. If it is cracked, stripped or frayed it's simple enough to fix. Just visit your local hardware store and pick some up. In most cases they'll instruct you on how to install it as well if you're unsure.
Getting Help
If you notice something seriously wrong with your garage door or have a problem that your not sure how to approach, be sure to call your local supplier or handyman. They have the professional knowledge to get you in the right direction, and possibly to just come out and fix it themselves.

Sakura installation at Sake no Hana:
In a dramatic reinvention of Sakura this year, Sake no Hana, in collaboration with Perrier-Jouët Champagne, has commissioned leading paper artist Lydia Kasumi Shirreff to create a Sakura inspired art installation at their Mayfair Japanese restaurant.
Spring is the perfect time to visit Japan. The Japanese cherry tree comes into blossom covering the country with a delicate pink canopy and Sakura is the traditional Japanese celebration of the cherry blossom. If you can't visit Japan, the next best option is to find a good Japanese restaurant which is celebrating Sakura. I was delighted to be invited along to Sake no Hana, the contemporary Japanese restaurant by internationally acclaimed Hakkasan Group, for the launch of their new Sakura menu a celebration that signifies the start of Spring and the Japanese blossom season. They have created a limited edition menu and are collaborating with Perrier-Jouët Champagne, famous for their iconic Japanese anemone adorned bottles, to celebrate a marriage of art and food.
The Mayfair Japanese restaurant has commissioned acclaimed artist Lydia Kasumi Shirreff to transform the space, following the success of her recent Chinese lantern installation at sister restaurant Yauatcha City. With a background in fine art, Lydia has been dubbed 'the queen of paper sculpture' and has created a beautiful installation in which large paper blossom sculptures float in cloud-like formations from the ceilings. Lydia's interpretation of the Sakura theme has been inspired by hana fubuki, a Japanese phrase that directly translates as 'flower snowstorm' or 'cherry blossom blizzard'.
We were welcomed with a perfectly chilled glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne and offered some mouth-watering canapés, which were based on dishes from the new menu, which has been created in tribute to the season, by Sake no Hana's esteemed Head Chef Hideki Hiwatashi.
He has created a special four-course Sakura Supreme menu to pair with the fresh, citrus character of the recently launched Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
Guests will begin with akadashi hirousu, a red miso soup with tofu cake, seaweed and chilli yuzu, followed by a selection of signature sushi. A bento box will comprise nigiri; maguro tuna, salmon, ama ebi and suzuki sasazushi, and maki rolls; spicy maguro, aburi salmon, crunchy kani maki and inari tofu. Diners will be offered a choice of main courses such as sakura salmon with yuzu miso and Angus beef sumiyaki with a chilli ponzu. To finish, guests will enjoy the delicate orange blossom pannacotta.
We've reviewed the Sakura menu at Sake no Hana in previous years and it is always an immaculate and stunning presentation of delicious Japanese food. But this year, it is particularly special – so do make sure you book and go along to this Mayfair Japanese restaurant while it is so beautifully decorated.
Hanami is the centuries-old Japanese tradition of celebrating the annual Sakura season by eating sushi and drinking sake beneath the cherry blossom trees. You may not be able to enjoy springtime in Japan but instead, you could experience a wonderful taste of Hanami in London's Mayfair at Sake no Hana.
The menu will be priced £38 per person including a signature Sakura cocktail, or £52 including a glass of Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
From Monday 19th March to Monday 18th June 2018. Open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday.
Sake no Hana,
23 St James's Street,
London, SW1A 1HA

The Sydney Ice Dogs are proud to announce the signing of Australian forward Cameron Todd for the 2018 AIHL season. Todd was a key member of the Australian National Men's team who won a silver medal at the 2017 IIHF Word Championships (DIV 2A) in Romania.
At just 23 years of age, he's already appeared in 25 games for the national team, scoring 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists). Todd also brings a wealth of the AIHL experience to the Ice Dogs, having appeared in 91 AIHL games with the Sydney Bears.
Growing up and playing his junior hockey in Sydney, Todd says he feels right at home with his new AIHL club.
"The major thing for me is the familiarity" said Todd.
"As core Ice Dogs players have returned to the club, like the Stephenson's, these are guys I grew up being coached by and looked up to. Getting to play with these guys feels like I'm going back to my roots."
Todd is currently playing in the US for the University of Jamestown in North Dakota. The team plays in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) competition and have won 18 of 30 games this season.
"The season didn't start the way we wanted after the success we had last year" said Todd,
"But after a good Christmas break, we've come back energised and haven't lost yet in 2018, riding a nine-game win streak. We're currently ranked 11th nationally and are on track for a national tournament appearance."
Once his commitments in the US have wrapped up, Todd is looking forward to a home coming with the Ice Dogs and successful 2018 AIHL campaign.
"Overall I'm looking forward to enjoying my hockey on a personal level. For the team, I'm looking forward being part of the culture at the Ice Dogs and winning a Goodall cup!"
New head coach Andrew Petrie is excited about adding a player with Todd's pedigree to the Ice Dogs roster.
"Cameron is a guy I've admired as an opposition coach over recent seasons for his contribution as a genuine 200-foot player (Plays well offensively and defensively). He is a big body with excellent skating who competes hard every shift and has a refuse-to-lose approach to individual battles"
Coach Petrie is confident Todd can step into his new surroundings and be an impact player for this Ice Dogs this season.
"On top of his elite compete-level attitude, he's a point-per-game contributor who is already popular with many of the guys he will be battling for a spot on the 2018 roster"
"I'm confident the Ice Dogs can provide an AIHL environment, which will give him (Todd) every opportunity to have a stand-out AIHL season."

"Preserve and persevere with dignity and honor, for there is no trial set to Earth that man cannot endure."
The Ascended
Lord, savior, patron saint and deity. A once mortal being that has transcended to godhood and is said to have the power to lead the Order through the apocalypse. According to the scriptures, the very first Ascended was a prominent scholar of the Order in ancient times who was slain by the gods for attempting to usurp them. Stories vary, but it is generally accepted as fact that the Ascended had vanquished at least five of these gods on His own and crystallized their essence into the Empyrean Jewels.
A new dawn has come with the arrival of the next Ascended which led to restructuring into the Alabaster Order.
The original Ascended was in the process of deifying his disciples when divine war was declared against Him. It is said that the next Ascended will continue His work by choosing the strongest of the Order whom also personifies their traditions and values to the highest degree.
One knight per generation is selected by the council to be offered to the Ascended as the worthiest candidate to become their disciple. By age thirty a new Chosen must be nominated as it is then that knights must produce an heir. Although there is nothing in the scriptures that states the Chosen must be of pureblood or in direct relation to a councilmember, there has never been one that didn't fulfill at least one of these conditions.
A group of elders that governs all aspects of the Order's daily life and official functions as judge and jury. Members serve for life and are replaced by their heir upon death without say from the other leaders to remove the complications of politics. The exact number of councilmembers may vary from generation to generation, but never falls below three and one always presides as adjudicator. Should members and their heirs fall, such as in times of war, those remaining may take a vote on promoting another elder to leadership. In even rarer circumstances one may challenge a leader for their seat on the council, but it is often considered garish and does not draw the respect necessary to rule peacefully.
The title for any member in their twilight years. Those in the Order have a significantly shorter life expectancy than the global human average due to the dangers of their lifestyle and the toll that repeated aether usage takes on the body. The most generous estimates give them to sixty years of age, while the average falls somewhere in the mid-fifties. One generally becomes an elder around fifty years old, although some under that age may be classified as such if they happen to be on the council.
Theurgic Knights
Casting off direct attribution to the gods with such terms as "holy", while still paying homage to their divine benefactors' initial involvement led to the main stock of the Order taking up the title of theurgists. A member of the Order reaches adulthood and becomes a knight upon completing their rite of passage by the age of eighteen. There is little to no difference in skill and power among the knights with regards to age. Upon being knighted, they must already be at their peak in every way and maintain this until death. Individual strength moderated by humility is the basis of efficient teamwork in the face of disaster. No knight wants to be known as the weak link or the loudest mouth and so their thirst for perfection is engrained from birth.
Youth who have not yet completed their rite of passage. The term "squire" has been obsolete for the past two centuries, but was once meant to describe those who had begun formal combat training around age eight. Since then the Order has used the word "child" psychologically to remind those nearing adulthood that if they fail they are no better than a helpless infant.
Purebloods/Noble blood
Those directly descended from the original Order during the time of the first Ascended. The terminology is purely ceremonial in nature today and if there ever was a practical benefit, it has been diluted to nonexistence from centuries of mixed breeding. Some of the more invested traditionalists debate otherwise.
Book Keepers/Scribes
Scholars who focus on studying and maintaining scriptures in the archives. They are also responsible for presenting lesson plans to the children. The job of a book keeper is not in replacement for other chores and duties, but a position of dignity in addition to the rest. There is always at least one on the council and they are usually the senior most book keeper.
An uncommon, yet important position in the Order that centers on chemical mixtures enhanced by magic called decoctions. These liquids have a wide variety of supernatural effects from aiding in the healing process, increasing physical strength and concentration, recovering from fatigue and more. Alchemists can also create lethal poisons to affect a range of beings that would otherwise be impervious to conventional attacks. Oils infused with aether are massaged into the skin to numb pain and bolster fortitude against physical or elemental damage, but can also be applied to weapons and armor to substitute active enchantments when aether is scarce. The final product of alchemy—incense—has begun to fall out of use in the past century. Airborne chemicals meant to augment the senses are still used by whisperers when communing with the spirits, but their tricky application in combat to induce a battle trance left much to be desired without the assistance of a wind spirit to keep the cloud on allies and not enemies. In the days of yore, alchemists would carry censers and clay bombs filled with incense to release on the battlefield and swing the tide of battle in their favor.
A team of theurgic knights is known as a cabal, although children in the Order will unofficially call their group of friends one too. Teamwork is paramount to the success of the Order and the synergy between cabal members is the foundation. Cabals follow a theme to maintain synergy; that is, they specialize in magic and fighting styles that align well without sacrificing versatility. A common example of a well-rounded cabal synergy would be that which focuses on two or three corresponding elements (fire/wind/lightning) and mixes heavy and light-armored knights to balance defense and mobility in battle.
Every member of the Order is required to begin the process of producing a single heir by their thirtieth birthday in an effort to keep their ranks filled and continue their legacy. Attraction plays little part in selecting a mate. Good health and magical aptitude are all that matter. After that, the courting process is abrupt and ends just as quickly. Romantic notions of falling in love are squashed early on in life to avoid the distractions of false hope. All the love one may have to give is channeled into their heir. They are everything; the next step in the road to tomorrow.
Children are raised in a communal family setting, but it is their guardian's responsibility and honor to do the bulk of the work in perfecting the one that will carry on their lineage. Should the situation arise that a knight is unable to produce an heir it is considered acceptable with approval by the council to take in a child related to them that possesses a magically gifted soul. Unscrupulous as it may be, some go the extent of looking beyond their own bloodline for one to pass as an heir.
Despite honed physiques, high intelligence, an unmatchable work ethic, and ceaseless bravery, it is no secret that the Order's biggest fear lies not on the battleground, but in finding a suitable mate. Knights may be worldly from their endeavors, but feel unprepared when forced to connect with those outside the abbey walls. It is a problem to which no solution is ever posed from hesitation in admitting a weakness in their culture. A bond that should result in great joy leaves nothing, save miserable anxiety. When a child is welcomed into the Order by birth (as opposed to being "recruited") the parent from the outside is not to be heard from again, but some love-starved knights attempt to make more of their fleeting tryst upon tasting the pleasures of romance and intimacy for the first time.
Rite of Passage
An arduous trial meant to prove absolute proficiency in combat and survival skills. Children of the Order train their entire lives and are only given a single chance to begin their next chapter. The claim that there are no failures is only because careful manipulation of the records sees that it is forgotten from history. Failure results in death, complete erasure from existence, or beyond recoverable maiming and is more common than any will ever admit. Tragedy befalls the one who must put down their own heir to grant them a merciful release from the suffering.
The trial is administered by the council and is not standardized. Youth may choose to go alone or with a cabal, but the level of danger increases along with the number of those on trial. A journey to the Astral Plane to slay one's own inner demons is a simple task, while a battle to fell a demon lord is considered nigh-impossible and sadistic. A child may choose to petition for a more difficult rite of passage if they feel the one given is too lenient for their skills. While this is almost never the case and nothing is achieved directly by taking on a harder trial, the honor and respect gained from completing it puts them in incredible standing for personal campaigns in the future, such as dueling for a position on the council.
"Glory to the Ascended."

TWO friends and entrepreneurs who have launched a new fashion retail business have been praised by the "Queen of Shops".
Edge Menswear has been set up by Gareth Birkett, 28, and Gareth Owen, 36, both from Bethel, in premises on Castle Square, Caernarfon.
The two found a gap in the market when they were struggling to source fashionable clothing in their home town.
Mr Owen said: "We felt there was a real need for a designer outlet in Caernarfon."
The outlet came under the spotlight recently when retail and brand expert Mary Portas, dubbed Mary Queen of Shops, called in while filming a television programme in Caernarfon. She complimented the duo on their attention to detail and said the shop would not look out of place in the West End of London.
Three jobs have been created in the new venture, which includes a hair dressing salon on the first floor, and has attracted funding from NatWest.

What is The Jethro TEAM
When God brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt into the wilderness He used Moses in a mighty way. But Moses tried to carry too much responsibility himself. As a result he was in danger of burnout and no family time, the people of God were restless and frustrated, and those recently "baptized" in the Red Sea were in danger of not having the ministry they needed to grow strong.
Moses' wise father-in-law, Jethro, counseled Moses to appoint godly, faithful leaders for each group of ten families among God's people, as well as others to mentor them (Exodus 18:21). These leaders were to serve as front-line pastors to their small flock, meeting needs, giving encouragement and gathering their group together to learn from each other. Other leaders (such as our elders today) were to mentor them and assist with the challenging issues they might face. Ultimately Moses was to teach the entire congregation.
The Jethro TEAM are lay members, selected by their church or pastor, to serve for one year, as front-line leaders to 3-10 families in their church. They look for ways to meet needs, give encouragement, and gather their group together as a Jethro Group to learn from each other and to win souls together.
Any believer of any age, approved by his/her local church or pastor, may join.
The word TEAM is an acronym for Trained, Equipped, Activated and Mentored. Based on the story recorded in Exodus 18 Jethro TEAM members are Trained, Equipped, Activated & Mentored to LEAD. Jethro TEAM members are trained to build relationships with their flock, given resources to assist in their mission, recognized and affirmed (activated) by their local church and mentored regularly by an elder and/or their pastor.

Official Schedule
» Confirmation, St. Michael Church, South Sioux City
» Confirmation, St. Michael Church, South Sioux City
Helping prepare an "altar of repose" with flowers and candles for the Eucharist after Holy Thursday Mass is a particularly meaningful part of Holy Week for Joan Koch of St. Michael Parish in South Sioux City.
School Sister of St. Francis Madeline Mary Greiner, who served nearly 50 years in schools in the archdiocese, including 39 years at Mary Our Queen in Omaha, died March 28 in Omaha. She was 94.
He begin Holy Week with such thought-provoking and inspiring themes in the word of God on Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. They speak of very tragic and violent events. Yet they also convey a spirit of self-giving love and hope.
Good Friday was bad long before it was good, at least from outward appearances. God was being crucified by all that can go bad in the world: pride, jealousy, distrust, wound, self-interest, sin.
Evangelization. It's been discussed in homilies, the subject of reports, a topic for seminars and workshops and even the focus of an entire year in the Catholic Church.
More than 160 Catholics from across Nebraska – even as far west as Scottsbluff – attended Catholics at the Capitol March 21 in Lincoln. The Nebraska Catholic Conference (NCC) was honored by the turnout and hopes the event will continue growing.
I wish to continue this month with some meditations on living mercy, particularly as mercy relates to the question of physician assisted suicide, or more accurately, physician prescribed suicide. Twenty-five states introduced legislation in 2015 to advance this form of suicide.
The place infants nod off and teens open up is also where road-weary adults will probe their spirituality: in the car.
The question of "who owns the church" has had a stormy history in Catholic America, although the terms of reference have changed considerably over time.

Further Hope Community Support is an Australian public company registered as the charity and public benevolent institution whose aim is to restore hope for disadvantaged in the society. This includes the orphans, the poor and other people who require various special needs.
The company achieves this by providing a range of supports to this kind of people, to ensure that they lead a meaningful life and achieve their dreams as well.
The concern of the company is not only targeting the residents in Australia, but also other people in need from different countries. Burundi specifically is a country which is being faced with war and climate change, therefore there is a need to help people in the region by making the contribution to purchase the refrigerator container and send it to them in Cibitoke.
The refrigerated container is needed since Further Hope started an Emergency Food Relief Program (EFR) in the region there is insufficient cool rooms and stokes which are needed to store food contributed by the well-wishers to support the disadvantaged in Burundi. For that reason, a lot of foodstuffs go to waste, due to the lack of good storage facilities. It would, therefore, be important to purchase the container so that the food required by the program can be well preserved and serve those in need for a longer period of time.
The money that will be contributed will be of great help since it will be used to Purchase the refrigerator container and install the shelves. The remaining cash will also be used in the transportation of the refrigerator to Citiboke so that people in the region can start to benefit as soon as possible.
We as Further Hope it is our role to try all we can in ensuring that the most vulnerable children in the society get food, as well as the poor who cannot afford to provide the basic need for themselves.
It will be our pleasure if everyone makes a decision of supporting the company, by sending their contribution so that we can save the lives of other people who are in need. This is one way of cultivating the seed of hope and love in the society, by supporting the needy. We will be grateful for your contribution.
Yes, as soon as your donation is processed.

RM 69,888 - Suzuki Swift 1.5
RM 71,996 - Toyota Avanza 1.5
The Campro CPS will improve the driving experience of the Proton Waja because it can give better performance at lower rpm ranges. One of the big hindrance of the original Campro engine is the lacking of power at the lower range rpm. In Malaysia, the Campro CPS engine is only available in the Waja Premium. I hope Proton will install the Campro CPS engine in all other models soon. The Campro CPS engine already available in the facelifted Proton Gen 2, which was launched in Bangkok At the Thailand International Motor Expo 2007.
Below are the Torque and Power curves gathered from Proton website.

Mia Hanekamp, Midwest Expat/
Each day last week, I featured a different college student from UW-Madison's Moda Magazine after attending their fashion show. It made me think of my time at school when Mia Hanekamp founded Moda. Mia and I moved to New York City around the same time after graduation, and it's been cool to see what she's been up to through social media.
Since my experience away from the Midwest was such an interesting time for myself, I often think about other people who have left the Midwest and what their experiences are like. I decided to launch a new series called "Midwest Expat" where I chat with a Midwesterner who has moved elsewhere to see how their Midwest is showing. Who better to kick things off than Mia Hanekamp herself?
My Midwest Is Showing: Where do you work, and what does your job entail?
Mia Hanekamp: I work for Victoria's Secret in Digital Merchandising on the bras team. My team manages bras and bralettes on the site. I work on the landing page art and linking, setting up the product pages, site offers, and reading data on site performance.
MMWIS: You graduated from UW-Madison. What was your major, and how has it helped in your career?
MH: My major at UW-Madison was Strategic Communication in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication. My major has mostly helped my career with communication, multitasking, professional skills and behaviors, and speaking in front of and reporting out data to colleagues.
MMWIS: What inspired you to start Moda Magazine when you were in school? Do you still check it out? Are you still involved in any way?
MH: What most inspired me to start Moda Magazine while I was studying at UW was a seeming lack of focus on the fashion side of the art world in Madison. Madison's artistic culture is so unique and special, yet there was seemingly little connection between the city and the university in this sense. From article pitching to model casting and design presentations we learned quickly that there was a thriving fashion and design culture in the city and we were so eager to bring that awareness to the student population and help spread the word about how incredible Madison is.
I'm no longer a part of the magazine, but I remain an avid reader! I'm continuously blown away by the quality of editorial and design and production that Moda embodies.
MMWIS: What is your hometown, and where do you live now?
MH: My hometown is Naperville, Illinois, about 30 miles west of Chicago; my residence is currently the West Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. (I think... or maybe it's Hell's Kitchen, I don't really know.)
MMWIS: What do you miss most about the Midwest? What don't you miss?
MH: I miss Chicago hot dogs more than you can ever imagine. However, huge shoutout to Mess Hall in Harlem for making a killer knockoff. I miss the Old Fashioned on the Capitol Square for giving me my first tastes of whiskey; I miss my parents' rooftop in the West Loop; I miss trips to Cookie Dough Creations in Naperville with my brother and cousins on summer nights; I miss Badger games and cheese curds and Nitty Gritty Power Hour. Also, the hummus plate at Coffee Bytes, those were the best pre-Vilas lecture lunches.
What don't I miss? Maybe scraping ice off my car's windshield in the winter (somehow preferable to trekking up 8th Avenue in a foot of snow); maybe the SNL-impression-worthy Chicago and Wisconsin accents; maybe needing to fly hours just to reach a coast.
MMWIS: Favorite thing about where you live now?
MH: My favorite thing about my current neighborhood is my proximity to the water. Growing up in the Chicago area made me so spoiled in the sense that a quick drive to the city, or either of my parents' hometowns, led straight to Lake Michigan.
MMWIS: How does your Midwest show in your new location?
MH: My Midwest shows most in my life now when I'm out with my dog, Penny, chatting with our neighbors. She's a 3-year-old Pomeranian-Pug mix with the biggest smile. When we're out walking in Chelsea or Hell's Kitchen, we love stopping to chat with other dog owners in the neighborhood. New York is such a great dog city, and I love meeting neighborhood dogs and their humans!

text: Carrie is Stephen King's first published book, and includes one of his most iconic scenes. But what else lies beneath the surface of this seemingly simple tale of revenge? Is it a sloppy first book by a young writer, or a broader play for social relevance that stands the test of time?
