Parson's Fortune (a serialized story)…conclusionPosted: July 26, 2014 Filed under: Writing Leave a comment
This is the conclusion of the four-part story. The story takes place in a small Kansas mining town in the mid 1930′s. Pull up a crate and read the final installment of–
Parson's Fortune (conclusion…)
The light gleamed on three gold coins cradled in Pete's grimy, bloody palm. Charlie grabbed one up and turned it over in the light. "Twenty dollar double eagle. Lord amighty, Pete, we found Mull's gold."
The two boys jumped around and yelled out their excitement for a minute and then hit the floor to search for more coins. They crawled over every inch of the floor, kicked at the rock walls, checked for other alcoves–nothing, no more gold.
"He must've moved it somewhere," Charlie said finally.
"Or he spent it all before he died, more likely," Pete said, brushing his hands on his backside. It don't matter right now. We gotta get out of here."
"Damnation," said Charlie. "All right. Let's keep going."
They abandoned the alcove, taking the passage until it closed down to a crevice neither could fit through.
"Damnation," Charlie said with a kick at the small hole. "We gotta go back, try the other tunnel."
The flashlight began to flicker as they retraced their steps to the fork and ducked into the other tunnel. It was tighter at first but opened into a tall passage. The direction wasn't taking them closer to the surface, but they had no other choice than to follow where it led. It was slow going. It felt to Charlie like hours of walking. The flashlight was fading. And then the hole began to shrink.
Neither boy had spoken for some time. The seriousness of their situation grew heavier on their minds. Charlie stopped. Pete bumped into him in the dimness.
"This ain't looking so good, Pete," Charlie said, slumped down to avoid the low ceiling.
"You feel that?" said Pete. He stepped around Charlie and sniffed the musty air. "Something's changed. The air's moving." He took the flickering light from Charlie, walked forward twenty feet and disappeared with a yell.
"Pete!" Charlie held his hands out to protect his head and rushed forward into the darkness.
The faint light reappeared, and Pete's voice called out. "Hold up. Watch your step."
Behind the beam of the flashlight, Charlie could see Pete's head on the floor looking up at him. As he got closer he realized that their tunnel emptied into a bigger room, the floor of which was four feet lower. Pete was standing in the other room looking back into the hole at Charlie, who came forward and jumped down beside him.
They swept the light around the walls. The hole they had come through looked small now.
"This ain't no cave," said Pete. "It's a mine. Look there at the timbers."
"Well then it's got a way out, don't it?" Charlie grabbed the light from Pete and started through the new tunnel. The walls sparkled with the shine from bits of galena and pyrite reflected in the beam. After a good ways, the floor sloped upward and ended at a shaft flooded with light from the clear day above.
The boys were too exhausted to celebrate. They squinted up to where the rock turn into bright sky thirty feet above them.
"Where you reckon we are?" said Charlie.
"Question is, how do we get up there?" said Pete.
Charlie searched the rough walls of the shaft. "Here's something." He pulled a rusty wire cable from a crevice and tested its strength, his eyes following it upward. "I think it goes to that derrick up there, or what's left of it. We can climb it easy."
The two tired boys, caked with flint dust and striped with rust from the cable, lay on their backs on the rocky ground fifteen minutes later. The sun soaked into their damp clothes as they caught their breath.
Pete was the first one up. "We gotta get to Jack."
"What if he figured we're dead and just lit out," Charlie said, struggling to his feet.
"Well, we gotta find him anyway." Pete shaded his eyes and looked for a landmark. The underground march had taken them north and west about a quarter mile from the pit and around the side of Cemetery Hill. "Let's try the pit first. He might still be there."
They crossed the rocky flats taking care to avoid abandoned shafts.
"Who's that?" Charlie pointing to someone walking toward them.
Buck picked his way over the broken ground. His long white hair spilled from a worn miner's cap affixed with a carbide lamp. He stopped when he spied them and let the boys close the distance.
"Saints and sinners. You ain't drown nor otherwise dead after all. Young Jack was sure as Sunday he'd sent you to a watery grave. You boys injured any?"
"No sir, just chewed up a bit," said Charlie. "Where is Jack? Did he go tell everybody?"
Buck looked them over from toe to crown. "He came and found me first, seeing as how I know you and why you were out here in the first place. I told him to hold up and let me see if I could find you before setting off the whole town. He is sure enough scared to death." He shook his head and squinted out the sun with one eye. "You boys got no idea how lucky you are. Hells bells, there ain't one in a hundred could get in and out of there in the water. By the looks of you, you didn't come that way."
"We found a cave," said Pete as he shoved his hand in his pocket. "Seems old Parson Mull didn't have no fortune after all. This is all there was." He held out the three gold coins in his rusty palm.
Buck picked one up and held it by the edge, his stubby finger pointing straight up. He examined it closely and set it back in Pete's outstretched hand. "Well, would you look at that," he said, and then he leaned toward them. "And here all this time I been thinking I had got it all."
the end…

The Kermit Gosnell Verdict: Implications for Pro-Life Lutheran Christians–A statement by LCMS Life Ministries

The Kermit Gosnell Verdict: Implications for Pro-Life Lutheran Christians
A statement by LCMS Life Ministries
May 13, 2013
After a nine-week trial, which included weeks of graphic testimony, a Pennsylvania jury found Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty of three of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of babies who were born alive, but who died after their spinal cords were severed in procedures Gosnell called "abortions." He was acquitted on the fourth murder charge. Gosnell also was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the botched abortion death of one mother. He faced 258 counts total, including 24 counts of performing abortions after 24 weeks gestation, which is illegal in Pennsylvania, and hundreds of charges of violating Pennsylvania's informed consent and 24-hour waiting period laws. The jury is now in the penalty phase.
Gosnell's murder trial became the subject of much debate nationally after pro-life activists and others criticized the mainstream media for ignoring the trial early on.
As pro-life Christians devoted to the biblical understanding of the sanctity of human life, we grieve over the tragic loss of these lives and the thousands of other children and mothers who die daily as a result of abortion. Today's conviction of Gosnell brings justice for the many victims of this horrific abortion facility and demonstrates that abortion is clearly a slippery slope that seeks to deprive the most helpless of their basic human right: life.
The LCMS develops and promotes resources and support for pregnant women so they can avoid seeking abortions. Abortion doesn't solve — but only masks — problems many women face and leaves many of them grieving the death of a child.
The Gosnell case generated a larger debate and rightly caused people to consider the philosophical issue of why an abortion procedure performed in utero is legal, but also how a similar act a few minutes later, outside the womb, is considered homicide.
Clearly, the case was about the death of five persons and no one can argue against the personhood of these four smaller humans. This case has exposed the ugly underbelly of the pro-abortion movement and it has brought the humanity of unborn children before the public conscience.
We call upon legislators and citizens to examine the brutality of abortion, which takes the lives of 1.2 million children every year, and the mothers who die as well. (The Center for Disease Control reports that about 400 women have died as a result of legal abortions since 1973, and 12 died in 2008, the last time such research was gathered.)
Our church aims to be a place of forgiveness, mercy and healing for all people as we continue to proclaim Christ's comfort and truth in love. As we move forward following this ruling, we offer up our prayers for women and children in need, for families, that those still participating in the abortion industry would stop, and for our nation.

Mother's Day

This will be brief.
Certainly contrary to the intention of its founders, this has again been a painful day for many. I recognized this early on as a parish pastor, from whom was expected at least a token mention of the day–if not in the sermon, then in the announcements or while greeting worshippers after the service. While a happy and pleasant day for many women and families to be sure, I also knew it to be only a perfunctory-at-best or often painful day for others, because I knew a little about the lives of those women and families in those pews and how this day was once again resurfacing heartbreaks and opening emotional wounds that would never entirely heal.
In short, I knew as a pastor that I had to be especially well-prepared on this Sunday each year, to preach the Law without driving to despair, and to preach the Gospel in a manner that would be truly good news to all–especially those coping with a less-than-happy Mother's Day.
We are a sinful lot, that's for sure. But thanks be to God who has redeemed us at an amazingly great price.

"The Gospel Assumed Is the Gospel Denied"
May 6th
Posted by Herb Mueller in Herb's Posts
That's what we used to say in college when a preacher laid on us his "pet peeve" or "hobby horse" but did not give the Gospel. The conversation might have gone something like: "Was there Gospel in that sermon?" One person might have answered, "Oh, he assumed you knew the Gospel. He just had something else he needed to bring us this morning." Perhaps it was sophomoric of us, from that hypercritical attitude you sometimes find in students or even pastors. But it's still true – "the Gospel assumed is the Gospel denied."
Assuming the Gospel is actually the height of arrogance. It is as if we were saying, "We all know what God has done for us in Jesus, so we can go on to more important things now." St. Paul covered many points in his Corinthian letters. But he also insisted, "I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2). What did he mean? No matter what Paul had to say, the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our salvation are the center, the essence, the focus of all Christian preaching. Justification or sanctification, it all comes back to the cross. No preaching, no Christian teaching is complete unless it brings us back to what God has done for us in Jesus Christ on the cross. Every doctrine of Scripture is designed by God ultimately to bring the comfort of sins forgiven and eternal life in Christ to the broken sinner.
Lutherans wholeheartedly agree. We confess we are saved by grace alone, for the sake of Christ alone, through faith alone. We insist that God works faith in us through Word and Sacrament, His means of grace (Augsburg Confession IV & V). We are known as law and Gospel preachers. We understand the law does God's "alien" work to show us our need for God's proper work in the Gospel. Surely we have it right. How could we Lutherans ever be guilty of "assuming the Gospel"?
You find it when a pastor believes his hearers know the Gospel thoroughly already. Perhaps very creatively he urges them to share that Gospel with others, but then forgets that the Gospel itself is the power and motivation for its own proclamation. More blatantly, pastors may think because they have talked about the Gospel, they have also preached the Gospel. Or the pastor may have determined to emphasize "practical issues" of Christian living to the point there simply wasn't time enough for God's action.
How do you tell? Are there any warning signs you are in danger of "assuming the Gospel"? Have you ever begun your preparation, formulated your theme, and then realized that the Gospel is auxiliary to the thrust of your sermon? You have a "message" you want to bring to the people; for example, you want them to understand the Biblical ideals concerning marriage. As you finish writing, you realize, "I should get some Gospel in here somewhere. Let's see, where does it fit?" The Gospel has become auxiliary to your "message." Perhaps you have listened to a sermon and then thought, "Pastor gave us a lot of good advice for living but there wasn't much Jesus." The preacher has assumed, and therefore denied, the Gospel, I would suggest, if Christ and His cross and God's saving action are adjunct to what the preacher really wanted to say.
The Gospel is assumed (and therefore denied) when we prepare a liturgy where the central focus is on us, how we feel, what we do, or our response. Instead, the golden thread that needs to run through our worship is God's service to us in Jesus Christ. The ultimate question, the answer to which ought to shape everything, is this: Does the language we use actually deliver God's gifts or merely talk about them or hint at what they are? Is the central thought God's work in Christ, God's gifts in Jesus, or preoccupied with our work?
When the Gospel is assumed, all that is left is law. Of course, as long as the law is not presented too strongly, harshly, or pointedly, our sinful flesh feels at home with the law and counts it an ally. That is why it is so natural to talk about our own actions even when we assume we are proclaiming the Gospel. Because our sinful flesh readily understands the law, we are very comfortable talking about God's work as though it were our work. For instance, we may say, we come to God, we believe, we preach, we worship, we baptize, we forgive sins, we celebrate the Lord's Supper, we do works of service, we witness for Christ. Yes, from a human point of view, we do those things. But if that is all we say, we are still under the law. If we urge these activities apart from God's work, we have assumed (and therefore denied) the Gospel. Remember, all these actions are actually God's work. God comes to us in Jesus Christ even though we, in our sin, could never come to Him. The message of the cross has power in itself to create faith. It is God's doing and God's gift. Our messages have no power without the Word of God. Jesus Himself speaks through His Word we proclaim. Paul assured the Corinthians, "My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
The Spirit uses the means of grace to gather us for worship, because in those means Jesus Himself comes to serve us with His forgiveness. When someone is baptized, we see the water and hear the Word the pastor speaks, but God is there baptizing, uniting that person with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. ("We were buried with Him by baptism into death…" [Romans 6:4] It's passive. God did it to us.) When penitent sinners are absolved, it is Jesus Himself speaking the Word of forgiveness (John 20:21ff). He gathers us around His table, at His command and promise, because He is the host, serving us His own body and blood. Our works of service are really the works of Christ through us. He gives us His Spirit to produce His fruit. Our witness is also the work of His Spirit, who continually bears witness to Jesus. As our confession puts it, "without the grace, help, and activity of the Holy Spirit man is not capable of making himself acceptable to God, of fearing God and believing in God with his whole heart, or of expelling inborn evil lusts from his heart. This is accomplished by the Holy Spirit, who is given through the Word of God…" (Augsburg Confession XVIII, 2-3).
Here is a simple test for evaluating a sermon, Bible Study, or liturgy to see whether you are merely urging people to do something themselves or announcing Jesus' work and proclaiming His gifts – in other words, whether you are assuming the Gospel or proclaiming the Gospel. After you have prepared your text, go back and underline all of the action words. Find the subject of each verb. Ask, who is doing these verbs? If we are doing the action, then no matter how much it might otherwise sound like Gospel, it's still the law. The law is concerned with what we do or don't do. When the Gospel is assumed, the law alone will make us hard-hearted and self-righteous, but then drive us to despair. The Gospel, on the other hand, is concerned with everything God has done and is doing in Jesus Christ for our salvation, to forgive our sins, to give us new life. On the inside of the pulpit at the parish I last served, placed where only the preacher could see it or feel it, was a small crucifix. Yes, that cross was law reminding me of the necessity to preach the Gospel, as St. Paul writes: "For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16). The Gospel assumed is the Gospel denied!
But that little crucifix was an even more powerful and necessary comfort for me in proclaiming what God has done and is doing for us in Christ. Again, St. Paul writes: "All this is from God who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18). All this is from God. I am not just "flapping my gums" proclaiming Jesus crucified and risen. God Himself is there to bring His reconciliation to me and to the people. God Himself is shining through the Gospel: "For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For it is God who said, 'let light shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:5-6).
Though we are never up to this tremendous task, though you and I falter, God is always faithful. He will use His faithful Word to keep us faithful. "Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code [the law!] kills, but the Spirit [by the Gospel!] gives life" (2 Corinthians 3:4-6). The law does not simply advise us or show us God's way. The purpose of the law is to kill us so that God by His Word can raise us to life with Jesus. The law strips us of any pretense of life on our own, but the Gospel fills us with the life of Christ crucified and raised from the dead.
Again, who does the verbs? God gives life. God shines. God makes us competent. God saves. God forgives. God raises the dead. God heals. God comes to us in Jesus. God speaks in His Word. God creates faith. God gathers His church. God baptizes. God feeds us the body and blood of His Son. God gives His gifts, all for you. Jesus says to His preachers, "He who hears you, hears me." His Word on our lips is alive with His life, to give life.

Free video, Bible study on prayer available
May 1st
Posted by Al Collver in Uncategorized
Two new resources, a free two-part Bible study and a video, from The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod provide an introduction to Martin Luther's "A Simple Way to Pray," which offers instruction on how to pray.
"For Luther … the right way to begin to answer the questions 'What is prayer?' and 'How shall we pray?' is with our Lord's own command and promise," wrote the Bible study author, the Rev. Dr. John Sias, pastor of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, Colstrip, Mont.
Luther wrote "A Simple Way to Pray" to explain his approach to prayer in 1535 after his barber and friend, Peter Beskendorf, asked for some practical guidance on how to pray. In the tract, Luther explains the "ITCP" method, which features four steps: instruction, thanksgiving, confession and prayer.
"Because there are so many unbiblical things said and written about prayer all about us, every Lutheran should l have 'A Simple Way to Pray' and read it," said the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of the LCMS. "Luther's little book on prayer will revolutionize your prayer life."
Harrison translated "A Simple Way to Pray" from German to English for Concordia Publishing House, the church's publisher.

Dryer Types
Several types of thermal dryers used by the chemical process industry can be applied to sludge drying. The sludge is always dewatered prior to drying, regardless of the type of dryer selected.
Flash dryers operate by promoting contact between the wet sludge and a hot gas stream (see Figure 7.49.5). Drying takes place in less than 10 sec of violent action, either in a vertical tube or in a cage mill. A cyclone, with a bag filter or wet scrubber, if necessary, separates the solids from the gas phase. The vapors are returned through preheaters to the furnace, minimizing odor problems. A portion of the solid product is often returned to precondition the wet sludge.
The screw conveyor dryer uses a hollow shaft and blades through which hot gas or water is pumped (see

I was just waiting to get some new pictures of this beach, because we get a lot of interest for this Seven Mile Beach location from groups. This has been a rainy week due to unsettled weather, so we took three weddings to this location, chiefly because of the cabanas.
I had better let you into a secret. "Blue Water Beach" is not the official name of the beach. I started calling it "Blue Water Beach" about 5 years ago, because of some confusion between its name and that of another nearby beach.
This Groom is a veteran cruiser, this was his 10th cruise. He lives in Australia, and he met his bride on one of his cruises. The Bride is from Serbia. I felt really pleased that he had chosen Grand Cayman as the location for his wedding.
You can select Blue Water Beach for your Grand Cayman beach wedding by indicating it on the application form. If you enjoyed these pictures, you can see more of them under the "Packages" tab at the top of this page.

After a month long's worth of video promotions (tagged #witnessalive) on his youtube channel, audiences have given an inside view on the things that keep the songwriter Leon Markcus 'alive'. From the song cover of the National Anthem to a raw and authentic footage of the recording process for the track 'Alive', viewers now understand Markcus better on an emotional level, and knows what he truly stands for on the path of music.
Local singer/songwriter, Leon Markcus who took the music scene by storm in 2016 with his unique blend of alternative pop & electronic music, is now making a comeback with a new music video for 'Alive' — directed by Alvin Ling and in collaboration with the National Arts Council, Noise Singapore and music producer Jeff Hue (NOISE AWARDEE 2016). The video aims to debunk the often misrepresented stereotypes of people with suicidal thoughts and makes it clear that suicide can happen to anyone.
The official music video features two friends struggling to overcome the harsh challenges faced in their personal lives, resulting in one individual attempting to take his own life. The video aims to strike a chord in the hearts of its audiences to bring about more awareness towards people who are at risk of suicide and how it can affect anyone; not just a group of people who displays stereotypical characteristics of depression. Markcus will also be going on a short island wide tour to promote his single.
'Alive' as a track has been doing commercially well, and has been streamed at several bars, restaurants as well as festivals, like SHINE Festival & Pink Dot 2017.
If you or someone you know if experiencing anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts, help is at hand. There are a number of resources that can help including Beyond Blue and Lifeline (or call 13 11 14). If someone is immediate danger, call 000 (triple zero) in Australia or the emergency services number in your locality.
Below: (podcast) Leon Markcus introduces himself to Asian Pop Radio, April 2017.
JJ (aka Falling Feathers) is back with a hot new single and MV to match it. 'HUSH' follows on from the release of his track 'Why so serious' earlier this year and track 'Perfect' in late 2016.
The musician owns a unique vocal quality, a bright and cut-through vocal tone that can be immediately recognized as his own. Not only does his music consist of compulsive hooks and relative narratives, his songs also envelope the conventional emotions of day-to-day experiences in a copacetic kind of way. Coupled with his jovial personality, Falling Feathers definitely puts a smile on the faces of anyone who listens.

For years Melbourne's AO Dance crew have been wowing crowds both across our nation and internationally as they put their own spin on some of Kpop's finest music videos. They have won several awards for their work globally and have done Australia proud as they represent us on the big stage. For this reason, the APR team decided to chose our favorite AO videos, here they are!
5. Sistar 'Shake It'
A collaborative effort between some of Melbourne's best dance crews, AO Crew teamed up with a range of crews including KM United, LACE dance crew, Hustle, BYS, Flare and Mint. AO have always worked collaboratively with other groups and they always get results. The energy in the room for this production really does come through in the final edit.
4. Exo 'Overdose'
In 2014 the group were lead by Choreographer Tony Testa for this Kpop dance video putting their spin on EXO's 'Overdose'. It was plain to see that not only was the choreography spectacular, but that the cinematography and the editing of the final video were miles ahead of other posting similar videos at the time. If any Kpop dance video is an example of the work that Kpop fans put into their craft, this one sure takes the cake!
3. Crayon Pop 'Lonely Christmas'
Showing that the boys of AO crew don't always take life too seriously, in December of 2013 they decided to cover Crayon Pop's Lonely Christmas. The song wasn't as big as the girl groups earlier release 'Bar Bar Bar' which made it to our radios in June of the same year, but it certainly helped grow their fan base internationally with a little help from worldwide distribution from SONY music who were no doubt looking for the next big thing following PSY's worldwide smash Gangnam Style.
Crayon Pop made their way to Australia earlier that year to promote themselves locally and Asian Pop Radio were instrumental in organising a Crayon Pop pop up gig on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Here's what happened!
2. GD x Taeyang 'Good Boy'.
Yeah we know, there are so many current boy bands to chose from and AO Crew have done us proud with covers of some of our favorite male groups in more recent times including takes on BTS songs that have helped them to some pretty impressive view counts of 1.6 million in one case, but we can't go past this GD and Taeyang classic. Once again, the guys impressed with their moves but one of the stand outs of this video was how the lighting really highlighted their routine setting the scene for a video that eyes were glued to from start to finish. The camera work was on point as well.
1. Taeyang 'Ringa Linga'
Nothing has made us more prouder than this video AO produced to show their appreciation for Taeyang's track Ringa Linga. It has everything you could want, a great concept, unstoppable dance moves and some of Melbourne's best scenery, showing the world that there is a dedicated Kpop fan base in Australia (Melbourne specifically). The video kicks off around Degraves Street, famous worldwide for coffees and brunching, showcases amazing graffiti art that you can only find in the laneways of this city and finishes up with a rooftop performance from the car park of Federation Square. The finished product shows clearly how much time the group put into scouting for locations and the energy that goes into their choreography.

So whats your favorite AO video? Tell us below and remember to share this article with your friends so they can have a say too. To wrap up, here's 5 moments that AO Crew joined us on-air on Asian Pop Radio:

Singapore indie-pop band, M1LDL1FE, has released their highly anticipated self-titled EP. The five-track EP is available now on all digital platforms. M1LDL1FE's eponymous EP is a collection of stories that glows with the residue of loss and change. Following the departure of founding member and guitarist, Johnathan Lim, the band had to readjust and re-calibrate, choosing to spend time in the studio to rediscover their sound.
"I think we took longer than expected to get used to John not being around, and playing music without his 'voice' being a part of it. We had to turn inward and do a little searching for a sound within ourselves," says frontman Paddy Ong.
Lyrically, this shines through in songs like "How You Forget" - a dream-like, slow-burning number about how easy it is to forget the people closest to you. The introspection continues in "Distraction", which touches on themes of sacrifice and choosing one's path in life. The pensivity however, belies a gritty exterior from the band's days as Take Two. Straying a little left of field from jangly-pop guitars, M1LDL1FE bemoans the ennui of the new millennium in the synth-rock jam, "Super Algorithm Digital Me". The band bear their teeth in the anthemic "Backdoor", a composition that spans across two tracks, ending in a grandiose frenzy of modulated synthesizers and grizzled guitars.
Below: our interview with Paddy Ong.
Further down: Music Video for 'Distraction'.
"A lot of growth and change had been going on in and around the writing of this album. Some of us got married, some of us had left long term relationships. All kinds of crazy things going on in the world as well. We've subconsciously been affected by all these things that were happening at the time," reflects Ong.
A few months back, M1LDL1FE debuted the music video for their first single, "Distraction", which topped the Spotify Viral 50 Chart in Singapore. Their second single, "How You Forget", also topped the iTunes Rock charts in Singapore. 'M1LDL1FE EP' is available here: radi.al/M1ldl1feEP
Formerly known as Take Two, M1LDL1FE cuts across the indie-pop grain, weaving together lush electronic textures and eclectic dance grooves into the pop sensibilities of guitar-driven indie music of the early 2000s. Armed with a fresh and grittier sonic palette, the band will release their eponymous EP on July 28th. M1LDL1FE is Paddy Ong (vocals), Tan Peng Sing (guitar), David Siow (bass) and Jeryl Yeo (drums).

Recently we were honored to have Stan and Dominic of busking group Acoustic Holiday drop into the Asian Pop Radio studios to discuss their music, growing up in Korea and they shared some of the constant difficulties that are associated with busking on the streets of Melbourne. We're always blown away when we hear about the outrageous behavior of some people in the community and how buskers like Stan and Dominic are often treated, though thankfully most members of our society treat buskers with respect and share admiration for their craft there are a select few that some times disrupt, treat musicians with disrespect and even steal from them. Yes, the boys are certainly not the first group we have interviewed that have told us that people often steal their hard earned coinage when performing live on the streets.
During the interview (which I must add, they prepared for unlike anyone we have interviewed before), the guys discussed in detail the differences between busking in Seoul and here in Melbourne, places they still would love to perform in and how they got to working with each other. Listen to our podcast via the link below and remember to support the guys by following them on social media, liking their work and hopefully shooting them a few coins the next time you see them on the streets of Melbourne.

The Summer State prides themselves in their performance, and their music abounds with infectious hooks and heartfelt lyrics. Having amassed a strong following after sharing stages with international acts (Simple Plan, Yellowcard, Neck Deep, Against the Current & more) and a series of festivals around the region, the group again recently found themselves in Taiwan performing at the 2017 Fireball Festival.

A Love Story
Ruth 1:1-2
The story of Ruth is an exciting adventure during a most difficult time in history, "when the judges ruled." It was the worst of times because, "every man did that which was right in his own eyes." During this time in history, we come to the little book called Ruth, a true historical account of God using the most difficult of times to show He is never idle. Ruth is a picture of the helpless, and hopeless sinner, separated from God and doomed to eternal death. The story of Ruth is not only a picture of God's amazing grace but of God's redeeming love for unworthy sinners.
As the story begins, the curtain is lifted just enough for us to see the beautiful picture God is revealing to us of His redeeming love. Not all the actors in this small book even realize the impact their lives will play in God's wonderful plan. Ruth, the Moabites is a member of a race that began in an incestuous relationship (Genesis 19) under the curse of God (Deuteronomy 23:3-6). His plan was to take Ruth from in the lowest conditions of life to the highest honor ever, the lineage of Christ. This story has only one outstanding message–––REDEMPTION!
As you read this delightful story of redeeming love, prepare your heart to grasp the wonderful picture of salvation through Ruth's life. If you will cast yourself upon His redeeming grace, and believe in His finished work on the cross for you––––that is REDEEMING LOVE.
Lord, thank You for Your perfect and gracious love to redeem a sinner like me.

Sheffield United 0-1 Bolton: Gary Madine hits winner
By Press Association
Last Updated: 30/12/17 7:50pm
Bolton clinched their first away victory since August by beating Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.
Gary Madine's first-half goal was enough to destroy the Blades' hopes of breaking another record as three points would have taken them to their highest points tally ever in a calendar year.
United began to probe early on as Mark Duffy worked his way around Reece Burke in the Bolton defence. His cross found Billy Sharp in the area, but the chance came to nothing as he headed wide.
Former Sheffield Wednesday player Madine returned to haunt United fans after he broke the deadlock 21 minutes in. A low cross was drilled through the United defence and onto the toes of the Bolton striker, who tucked away the close-range effort.
Blades manager Chris Wilder decided after 31 minutes it was time to switch things up, introducing George Baldock for Cameron Carter-Vickers.
Leon Clarke squandered a chance to level the scores. Duffy's through ball into Clarke was perfectly weighted yet Clarke could not divert the ball past Alnwick, who rushed out to meet him.
Clarke came into the second half looking to turn things round sooner rather than later. The striker created numerous chances but struggled to find the back of the net.
A great display of trickery from Madine on the left flank, touching the ball through the legs of a defender and surging into the box, ended when his shot went straight to the feet of the keeper.
United's best chance of the half glanced wide of the post off Jack O'Connell's head after Fleck's free-kick was whipped in. United's second substitution of the day saw captain Sharp retire to the bench as Will Buckley, who missed the starting line-up due to concerns over his fitness, was introduced.
The 28,000 home supporters erupted in the 66th minute only to be silenced by the palms of Alnwick, who leaped to deny Baldock's attempt from inside the area.
Clarke's missed effort in stoppage time was United's best hope of snatching a point. He was positioned inside the six-yard box when the ball came in but somehow his effort went over the bar.
The managers
Chris Wilder: "It was very frustrating. We created chances, but we were poor in finishing it off and we made poor decisions in the final third. It was a massive missed opportunity and a smash-and-grab victory from our opponents. There was nothing tactical about their goal. If there was then we would have conceded several times.
"We were the dominant team, but that doesn't mean we are the better team. We need to be more ruthless in both boxes to sustain our league position. We had a sensible talk because we keep being a mug side. We knew how they played but it didn't work for us today."
Phil Parkinson: "The atmosphere here is great. Mentality is key when you play here, and we implemented it very well. Sheffield United are a very front-footed team, they are cavalier in the way they approach the game, but the way we were disciplined and the way we exploited the space they left in behind was enough to win.
"We have a few players who haven't played much football recently. We knew we would fatigue, but the subs came on and gave us that extra boost."

Vests Are Totes Back In
A -- A week is a really long time and I totally know that and we will soon be at two posts a week, but in the meantime kick back and enjoy this outfit.
B -- There is no B.
We're back with the outfits after a slight break to help all of you shop for holiday gifts. But, now that it's Christmas Eve and hopefully your shopping is finished, maybe all you're looking for in life is more Harry Styles, some alcohol, and a cute outfit to look at. You'll find two out of three here.
This week's outfit is also from circa 2015. If you haven't noticed by my one other outfit post, I have a thing for circa 2015 Harry -- that long (*cough* greasy *cough*) hair, those casual ass outfits, and the constant showing off of those 60+ tattoos -- I am living for it. Especially since I wasn't a fan then, so I'm catching up. I also have a thing for getting off topic.
Anyway, the below outfit is the inspiration for this week's look.
This is from the Jimmy Kimmel rehearsals (Maybe? How reliable it Google?) in 2015 (how many times can I say that?) and I actually got the inspiration to do this look after YouTube suggested some 12 second video of him walking around at this rehearsal to me... for whatever reason it did that.
The only thing I was missing from this outfit was the vest because I had yet to realize that vests are a thing again -- which I'm totally here for. I'm again in my trusty faded ass ASOS jeans that fit like a glove (mine are petite, but there's regular and tall also) as well as a basic Target v-neck t-shirt. His shirt actually has a pocket on it, but not everything has to be exact right?
The boots I bought from Nordstrom Rack because I like the detail of the front being open rather than it being a simple Chelsea boot like the one he is wearing in the picture. Although both of ours have the buckle detail on the side of the shoe, I opted for something with a heel because I'm short AF and sometimes like to feel like a normal sized human.
The one thing I didn't have from this outfit was the vest because I missed the memo on vests being back in. Side note: What are these called in Britain because I know they're not called vests? Waistcoats? Tank top? Sleeveless sweater? Someone educate me. I knew I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one because I honestly probably wouldn't wear one in my day to day life, so I went to trusty Amazon and found the one in the photos.
The coloring is a bit off and mine has a zip where his does not and I also don't have the strange leather string that he has on his, but the overall impression is there. Right?
Hope you enjoyed this week's outfit -- I'll be back next week with something a bit more office appropriate. Until then -- ta for now!

Mission Statement:
Our mission statement is to preach and teach, the true gospel of the Kingdom of YHWH on this earth.
- Mat. 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (not going to heaven John 3:13).
- John 3:13 And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
To fulfill the role of the 5 fold ministry:
- Eph 4:11 And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;
Eph 4:12 For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:
In so doing help the bride prepare herself:
- Rev 19:7 Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him: because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made herself ready.
To reprove the work of darkness:
- Eph 5:11 And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;
Eph 5:12 For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.
Eph 5:13 But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.
Eph 5:14 That is why He says, "Wake up, you who sleep, Isa_26:19 and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you."
- 2Co 4:6 For Elohim, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
- Act 26:17 And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
- Act 26:18 To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.
As part of our program to help the most needy, we have visited "Nutre Hogar" a private institution which provides love, health and food to children with food deficiency that their families can not provide due to their economic situation. Below we present an introductory video by our brother Ministry Larry Schear:

It might not have the premium brand power of certain of its rivals, and it is some way behind in terms of customer numbers and service revenues. But T-Mobile does claim a rare innovative streak in the mass-market contract segment, as well as the best 3G network coverage in the UK.
As such, its award of exclusivity in the UK on the G1 handset, the debut device for Google's nascent Android platform, makes some sense.
T-Mobile UK could probably have done a job for the Apple iPhone too, except perhaps the device maker's ultra brand kudos is, on current form, a better fit for O2 in this market.
Early reports suggest, predictably, the G1 has not sold as well in its first weeks as Apple iPhone models did on O2, nor indeed as well as very early reports suggest the BlackBerry Storm is selling on Vodafone.
But it is one of only three real 'event' handsets so far in the market place, and T-Mobile has an exclusive and a spike in consumer interest because of it.
T-Mobile UK chief executive Jim Hyde (pictured) says: "The take up has been great, it works really well. We didn't do it; others did the road-test. It's faster than the iPhone – and whether that's the device or the network, I don't know and I don't care. All I know is it is better and faster, so we're delighted we have exclusivity for now."
Like O2 and Vodafone in the UK, then, T-Mobile has first run on a single hyped handset from a challenger manufacturer brand, pitched squarely at high-end mass-market users who will utilize it for more than just voice calls, text messages and football updates on Saturday afternoons.
"These devices attract the type of customer that uses the products and services we want them to, which drives revenue for us," remarks Hyde.
T-Mobile UK's figures for the year to-date suggest such customers, and such devices, have been sorely missing from its books. UK revenues for the three months to September 30 were £794 million, down 6.7 per cent on the same period last year.
"With special effects out, we are flat-to-down in terms of year-on-year revenue," counters Hyde.
Profit (EBITDA) was £175 million for the quarter, down 29.4 per cent on 2007's figure, which Hyde explains away in light of a year-on-year uplift in contract additions (96,000 in the quarter) and the hit on its bottom line in attendant acquisition costs.
Margin was 22 per cent of revenue, compared with 29 per cent last year.
Sequentially, it was up 30,000 for contract additions also, and watchers fairly attribute the decline in its prepay base in the period to Virgin Mobile's migration of customers onto contract, as well as some to its SIM-only 'Solo' tariff.
T-Mobile UK counts Virgin Mobile's prepay numbers, which piggyback on its network, in its figures, although it does not incorporate Virgin Mobile's contract base.
Hyde spins it: "From a future growth perspective, I think we're in pretty good shape. On a sequential basis we're in great shape. The third quarter was our best quarter this year in terms of revenue, profitability and subscriber growth. We are really firing on all cylinders right now in a very tough economic environment, and the team has to hunker down now to progress from here."
He notes T-Mobile UK finished 2007 on a roll. "We led the market or were close second in every measurable operating stat last year – revenue growth, EBITDA growth, margin improvement."
But he also acknowledges it was wrong-footed in the UK in the first half of the year by the rate of the market slowdown, shedding more than 500,000 customers. It has therefore not seen the kinds of returns it would have liked in the quarter just gone.
"It caught us and a number of people off guard a little bit. We had a bunch of stuff slotted in for mid-year with the introduction of 'Combi' and the refresh of our SIM-only programme, and a big marketing campaign around our get-more guarantee. For a number of reasons the impact and effectiveness of that campaign has done exactly what we needed it to do. What it couldn't do is come earlier in the year," says Hyde.
"Hindsight being what it is; if we could have slotted in that stuff in January instead of later in Q2, we would have, but we thought we could ride it out during the first half of the year. In the end, it took the wind out of our sails a little bit."

text: My friends have been goading me to do something that I keep talking about doing. A podcast. I'd like to do a weekly one called "Connecting the Dots," which takes current news items and puts a unique spin on it. I tried telling Mint to let me do podcasts but that hasn't gone anywhere. So here is a rudimentary version, sans technology or help from sound/garageband.

Anti-vaping ads strike a blow for public health
Vaping may not be as harmful as conventional smokes, says state Director of Public Health Ron Chapman. "But e-cigarettes are not harmless. They are not safe."
No kidding. Those candy-flavored lung polluters are full of the sort of carcinogenic junk that would repel consumers if the products didn't have names like "super fly lemon pie" and optionally customized bootleg "Hello Kitty" equipment:
Benzene. Formaldehyde. Acetaldehyde. Not to mention the stuff that's merely addictive and a hazard to children, like nicotine.
That's why voices like Chapman's are so important. Last week, he announced a new campaign to warn Californians about the dangers of e-cigarettes and other vaping equipment – a move that can't get underway soon enough for the health of adolescents in this state.
As it is, vaping has surpassed conventional smoking as a teen vice, according to government surveys. And no wonder. Loopholes and legal stall tactics have allowed it to be marketed for years in ways that have long since been banned for tobacco. Meanwhile, thanks to the power of big cigarette companies, which increasingly control the e-cigarette market, ordinary regulatory efforts have hit roadblock after roadblock.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has spent nearly a year now dragging its feet over the latest set of draft rules and comments. Meanwhile, California lawmakers failed last year to impose even a modicum of control over the runaway growth of vaping.
Why? Maybe because tobacco giant Philip Morris spent $1.3 million on California campaigns in 2013, according to the company's latest filings.
So it's an uphill battle, and we salute the state lawmakers and public health lobbyists who, this session, have indicated they plan to go back into battle:
▪ Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who is pushing to ban e-cigarettes wherever tobacco is forbidden.
▪ Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-Azusa, who wants to raise the smoking age to 21, a gambit that, if Leno's bill passes, could apply to vaping.
▪ The movement to add $2 to the state's 87-cent-per-pack cigarette tax, led by public health advocacy groups like the American Lung Association and the American Heart Association.
The California Medical Association is backing that last proposal, as is SEIU California, for whom smoking is a workplace issue. Given the great, cloying clouds of nicotine haze that consistently fill vape parlors, maybe secondhand vapor could be viewed as a workplace issue, too.
But given the power of the tobacco lobby and the number of moderates who came to office in the last election, optimists are, at best, cautious. Already, Big Tobacco has wormed its agenda into bills like the well-intentioned measure by Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, to childproof nicotine vaping cartridges, which can be poisonous to children.
Hill's bill sounds like a public service, but health advocates say its fine print would effectively carve out a special legal niche for e-cigarettes, apart from other tobacco products, making them harder to include in existing anti-smoking regulations. So for now, we're betting on Chapman, partly because we recall this state's great anti-tobacco campaigns of past years. (Remember that smoke-filled conference room with the roundtable full of snickering tobacco executives?)
Chapman is smart to start telling Californians how many toxins are in their e-cigs, but we hope he broadens the effort. We'd love to see some ads taking on the obvious, and despicable, e-cigarette marketing to youths.
Somebody needs to shut down these candy-coated pushers. (Cough) Hello Kitty bootleggers (cough), we're looking at you.

AIARE Avalanche Rescue
powered by
AIARE Avalanche Rescue is a one-day stand-alone course that is intended to be retaken on a regular basis in order to keep abreast of best practices in rescue techniques and gear. The Avalanche Rescue Course is a one-day course aimed both at new and experienced recreationists, and aspiring snow professionals. New participants will learn the basics of companion rescue, while return participants will expand their skill set with advanced topics and realistic scenario practice to help improve their skills after the course.
Students who have previously taken an AIARE 1 or an Avalanche Rescue Course will find value in having a professional help them set up a realistic scenario, practice skills in a realistic setting, receive feedback from an instructor, keep up with current best practices, and have an opportunity to practice advanced rescue skills.
Each participant will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching on their rescue skills and will receive a rescue card acknowledging completion date at course end.
AIARE Avalanche Rescue is a prerequisite for the AIARE 2 and Pro 1 courses. AIARE recommends that all backcountry travelers keep their skills current by taking an Avalanche Rescue Course and receiving a rescue card at least every other year.
Special thanks to Ortovox for their sponsorship and support of our Avalanche Education Program.

1. Christian Ponder Vikings QB – Ponder faces off vs. the Washington Redskins this week. The Redskins are 31st in pass defense and last week Matt Ryan threw for 345 yards and two touchdowns. Christian Ponder is no Matt Ryan but he has a favorable matchup and has only thrown two interceptions all year. I expect Ponder to throw for 275 yards and two touchdowns. If one of your quarterbacks are on a bye, Ponder would be a nice option this week.
2. Trent Richardson Browns RB – Trent Richardson has a favorable matchup vs. Cincinnati this week. Richardson rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown vs. the Bengals earlier in the season. Richardson is coming off a solid performance against New York, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown. Not only is Trent Richardson a running threat but he also leads the Browns in receptions.
3. Demaryius Thomas Broncos WR – Demaryius Thomas is clearly Peyton Manning's number one target. Manning will be looking for Thomas early and often vs. San Diego. Thomas is coming off nine receptions for 188 yards vs. New England. The Chargers gave up nine receptions, 131 yards, and three touchdowns vs. New Orleans number one receiver, Marques Colston in week 5. Thomas should have no problem shredding San Diego's secondary.
Darren McFadden Raiders RB – McFadden has only rushed for 100 yards once this year and those other three games he has only rushed for a combined 88 yards. McFadden does have a favorable matchup this week vs. Atlanta on the road. The Falcons may be undefeated but they are 27th in opponent rushing yards. Alfred Morris (Redskins RB) rushed for 115 yards last week vs. the Falcons. McFadden is a hit or miss guy but this week he will hit the Falcons defense hard.
1. Andrew Luck Colts QB – Luck had a GREAT game last week vs. Green Bay. However, he faces a stiffer test when the Colts go on the road to play the Jets. The New York Jets are sixth in the league in pass defense and Antonio Cromartie was able to shutdown Andre Johnson last week. Andrew Luck will struggle vs. a good Jets' defense this week.
2. Ahmad Bradshaw Giants RB – Ahmad Bradshaw will return to Earth this week vs. the 49ers. Bradshaw rushed for 200 yards and a touchdown vs. Cleveland last week but San Francisco and Cleveland are two different defenses. Let's not forget Bradshaw's 39 yards on 13 carries two weeks ago in Philly. San Francisco is seventh in run defense and doesn't usually surrender 100 yard rushers.
3. Brian Hartline Dolphins WR – Last time Hartline faced an NFC West foe he caught twelve passes for 253 yards and a touchdown. Brian Hartline only caught four passes last week and will have a hard time catching passes vs. St. Louis. The Rams have two of the best corners in the game with Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins and will make life miserable for Hartline on Sunday.

Tips for Surviving College
College is far more different than high school. In college you are taking on a much larger challenge that will have a big impact on your future and the rest of your life.
Choosing the degree you want to pursue in college is going
to have a big impact on your career. So, it really is important that you
carefully make a good choice, but you shouldn't pressure to rush to judgement, it
can take a while to figure out the best degree for you.
So how are you going to prepare for college? How are you
going to choose your line? Here are some tips and preferences to somehow make
choosing easier.
1. Your course is your dream job. It is important that
every day at school feels like an exciting day and not a wasted day. If you
love what you're doing you will never get tired of doing it, you will always be
inspired to strive hard and learn more things about it. Katherine Hepburn said,
"If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased", and it is
important that at least yourself is pleased with what you are doing, so don't
think much about money or if this course that you take will be in demand in the
future, because all those things will follow.
2. Ask for some advises. Opinions do matter too, people around you sometimes could actually help in deciding about this matter—your friends, your parents or your teachers. These people have been around you and they saw your competences that might help you in analyzing which track to go. There are instances that sometimes you've got confused on some of your interests, like for example you do good in math, but you also love art, and you are torn between math major courses or pursuing careers in art, this is where advising could interfere and might actually clear things that confuses you.
3. Research the school. Most of the universities excel in one or two programs, for example there are universities where engineering courses are better than other universities, while some has good offer when it comes to medical courses, so checking the school you are planning to go is a point. Make a list of the universities and then check the programs they offer, you might also consider checking the achievements and credentials of each programs on that particular university, like for example for engineering courses, check the rate of board passers, if they have a good rate that is a good point for you to contemplate. Look for scholarships too, lots of universities offer a good scholarship that can help you survive financially.
4. Do not end up rushing things. This is one of the most common mistakes of students entering the college, they thought they've got plenty of time to decide and complete the requirements, so they chill. And when the start of classes is close they end up rushing the decision and the requirements, which at some angle are bad, because choosing your program might lead to wrong decisions.
5. Use your resources wisely. Make a good research, do not stop looking for answers in your questions. If you are still confused about your major, or which school to go, the internet is a vast place to search and it somehow helps firm your decisions. Just carefully click and read the resources that are really helpful and informative, so you won't end up getting more tangled.
6. Do not be afraid to take risks. Taking risks is a brave act, and so does going to college. You know college is like a walk in the park, only you are walking in Jurassic Park. There will be a lot of struggles, stress and breakdowns but at the end it will all be worth it. Just be firm with your decisions, stand with it, face the consequences after, and if you fail that's okay—get up and move, do not get stuck, that is the only rule. Some were afraid of taking risks, because they are afraid that they might fail, but it is yourself you are fooling, you are losing the chance of learning. Go and take the risks and do not stop learning.

We are remodeling warriors. As many of you may know we have been hard at work on remodeling our Texas house. Currently we are working on the master bathroom. We've already done A LOT and I'll try to update those picture as time permits, including the before pictures. Check out our work in progress!
First up, just a small preview of what was there below. The top is the wall paper that was ALL over the bathroom when we moved in. Below is the wall paper we found when we were taking down the lights…must have been the original wall paper. What were they thinking?
|Original Wall Paper Samples.
|The old bath tub is gone! Wooden framing is in place to hold up the new granite for the under-mount tub
|This it the new shower stall with the green water barrier.
|The shower stall with the green barrier membrane and starting to dry fit the floor tile.
|Dry fit of the shower floor tile.
|Numbering the tile pieces so we remember where they go.

|The new shower floor! (minus the grout)
|Finally all the wallpaper is gone! (well except that little piece where the light was).
|Check out that awesome bathroom light!
More progress updates coming soon!

Dianna Anderson talks about her new book, Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity, in a guest post on Rachel Held Evans's blog:
We, as the church, must take the lead in correcting our mistakes. We must teach consent, communication, grace, love, and healthy boundaries in talking about sex. Simply saying "no" until the wedding day isn't enough to equip people with the tools to live out their sexuality in a healthy, God-honoring way. We need to learn how to be sexually mature adults before we can talk about what it means [to] say yes or no.

Product description
Among the most highly prized foods in the world, Parma ham uses pigs raised in a restricted area around Parma. The pigs are fed on the whey left over from making Parmesan, which ensures an exceptionally sweet meat. This particular Parma ham is certified organic has been cured for 20 months. In these 70 gram packs the ham is thinly sliced and ready to serve as anti-pasto, for wrapping fish or simply in a panino. To create Prosciutto di Parma, the pigs have to be raised in a restricted area around Parma and are fed on the left over whey from making Parmesan cheese which ensures exeptionally sweet meat. The hind legs of the pig have salt massaged into them for one month and are then left in temperature controlled cellars to loose moisture. After this time they are washed of salt, cleaned, dried and left to cure in special well-ventilated rooms for 3 to 4 months. At this point the cut side is covered wih lard to prevent excess drying and the meat is left for 20 months by which time it will have lost 30% of its original weight. The leg bone is then removed using a special tool and the ham sown up and often pressed into a mould to reshape it.

My 4 year old son goes to Eye Level Highlands Ranch Center When he first started, I was weary about what these programs can actually do for him. He learns so much more at Eye Level than at his preschool. Not only has he learned so much, he feels excited that he is getting smarter and smarter every day. The eye level director, Sree, is very caring and extremely accommodating. I like the materials much better than Kumon materials (more colorful and larger books) because they capture his interest. The curriculum and method of teaching are great. You also get more bang for your buck here compared to Kumon.
--Amy C
If you are considering Kumon and other centers for your child, consider this one too. My daughter goes here for Math and I love it. The good thing about their program is that they have both the basic math skills that other places cover but in addition to that, they have the Critical Math program which is great. These critical thinking workbooks have challenging work for the kids and makes them think through the concept rather than just master numbers. The center is neat and organized. Class room size is small and hence good attention given to kids. Workbooks provided give them the extra practice they need. Overall, Its a good program for the kids. Happy I found this place!
--Anu G.
Love this place! I have put my kids in several different tutoring places before. By far this is the best one. The center is very spacious and brightly decorated with cheerful colors, yet not too many decorations that it's distracting to the kids. They have 4 rooms which means your kids won't be crammed in with too many other kids. The owners are very accommodating & personable. They give you updates and follow-ups on your kid's progress. The tutoring materials they use are from their corporate office. I give them 2 thumbs up for their materials, very challenging!
--Monique W.
Both my twin 3rd grade girls are going to eye level close to 2 years and there is tremendous increase in their critical thinking and basic thinking . They did best in CoGat test and grade tests in STEM . The tutors are very experienced and kids writing skills in English also got very much improved. 100 percent I recommend Eyelevel
--Karuna Venkat, Hearth, Highlands Ranch
My 9 year and 7 year old kids are going to eyelevel of this location since above a year. Tutors are talented,friendly and the curriculum for English and mathematics is really good . My kids llike to do eyelevel work. https://nextdoor.com/pages/eyelevel-learning-center/recommend/
--Tulasi Nanda, Highlands Ranch, CO
Eyelevel's curriculum is spot on. They have a common core layout that will be beneficial to all levels. I have taught for 15 years and I believe that this program is fabulous. Original link : https://nextdoor.com/pages/eyelevel-learning-center/recommend/
--Kimber T. from Daniels Gate Highlands Ranch
We tried other supplemental programs in Highlands Ranch area and my kids were at the verge of losing interest in studies.
We were introduced to EyeLevel by a friend and cannot thank him enough for helping us.
Eyelevel is a high quality enrichment program for kids struggling as well as to keep them challenged.
Its truly a customized self-directed learning program available in the market..
--Jenny S Highlands Ranch
My child loves to go to EyeLevel.Curriculum is close to common core and we saw her gaining confidence in reading,writing and really happy with her interest in mind math skills.

AFEX Fire Suppression Systems
As technology advances, equipment manufacturers are designing machines that are more powerful and productive while also reducing emissions. The downside to these advancements is increased heat throughout the engine compartment and more hydraulics, creating additional and more severe fire risks.AFEX has found that dual agent systems, combining the benefits of dry chemical with the benefits of liquid agent, are the most effective way to address these risks.Dual agent systems are so effective that the National Fire Protection Agency requires them for large hydraulic shovels. Not only are they more effective, dual agent systems require less space and are more economical than a comparable liquid-only system for the same machine.

PAYE umbrella contractors used to spending varying proportions of their daily life working from home might be interested in a new study from the TUC, which suggests that the number of people working from home in the UK has fallen slightly.
At the start of 2010, 3.7 million worked chiefly from home. The number actually rose by a further ten thousand during the year but, in statistical context, it nonetheless reflects a small but perceptible drop, from 12.9 per cent of the workforce to 12.8 per cent.
Even though companies that allow their personnel to work from home usually find that it is a cost-efficient approach, saving money on office costs and allowing staff to manage their workloads more personally and effectively, the TUC believes that fewer workers are requesting home working arrangements due to anxieties over current economic conditions. Rising unemployment and greater job insecurity seem to be deterring people from seeking the home working option.
Work Wise UK's chief executive, Phil Flaxton, sought to encourage more people to request flexible working arrangements, however, insisting that it was sensible to allow staff to work from home occasionally – it prevents the stress of commuting and allows workers to get on with their tasks without the everyday distractions of the office. Many contractors working through umbrella companies will undoubtedly be aware of these benefits already.
The Director of research at the Telework Association went further, claiming that flexible home working arrangements benefit both employees and employers and should be more actively promoted as good for business. His comments coincide with those of Work and Pensions Minister, Maria Miller, who recently said that flexible working arrangements should increasingly become the norm, not the exception.
Perhaps those numbers might just start to rise again.

Describe your favorite memory at Carver.
"My favorite memory at Carver was going to Lake Compounce. We went on all the rides which was super fun. I like going on rides a lot. We also went swimming, and we ate a bunch of different foods."
Who is your role model?
"I have a lot of role models– my mom, my grandma, and this Youtuber named Queen Naija. My mom is my role model because she does a lot, and she teaches me how to be a better person. My grandma is my role model because she tells me what to do and what not to do. Queen Naija is my role model because she's really funny, and she is true to herself so she teaches me how to be myself. "
What do you want to be when you grow up?
"I don't know. I could see myself being an olympic swimmer. I'm not swimming much right now, but I'm getting back into it. I love when we go swimming on Fridays at Carver. When we go to the Y, we get lessons which helps a lot."
What is your biggest dream?
"To go skydiving. I'm a daring person, and that would be really fun to do with my mom. She said she would do it with me."
What is something that you're passionate about?
"I like to dance. And I love cheerleading. I also really like gymnastics."
Describe an accomplishment that you're proud of.
"I'm proud of getting honors all four quarters this past school year. At my previous school, I was struggling a lot, but then I got better at my new school. My new school had different resources which helped me, but also I came here after school. I was struggling with math, and Carver provided tutoring for me."
Describe Carver to someone who doesn't know what it is.
"Carver is fun, creative, and inspiring. At Carver, you can be you."
