From Indivisible Berkeley's website:
As you know, on Tuesday night at 6pm PT, President 45 will deliver his first official State of the Union Address. For folks who want to listen to it live, it will be available on all major television channels.
However, if you want another option: Indivisible Berkeley is offering an alternative event that evening. We'll be gathering with our neighbors and friends to listen to a speech by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr — "Where Do We Go From Here?" delivered on August 16, 1967 at the Annual Southern Christian Leadership Conference Convention.
We'll listen to the speech from around 6:15-7:15, then spend some time in conversation.
Please come for refreshments before and after, and feel free to bring anything you'd like to have or to share.
Many thanks to our generous hosts at The Way Christian Center on University.

Morehead St. Opens NCAA Tourney With Win
Morehead State has earned its first NCAA men's basketball victory in a quarter-century. The team beat Alabama State last night 58-43. Morehead earned the right to take on top seed Louisville in the first round Friday.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Last night's so-called play-in game of the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament featured a match-up of storied franchises, as they say in sports writing. At each college, however, the stories are not necessarily about sports. Morehead State University in the hills of eastern Kentucky has given education to the children of coal miners. Alabama State University was founded in 1867 by a group of former slaves. Neither school has been a constant part of March Madness, but they had a shot last night. The winner got the last spot in the 64-team tournament, and NPR sports correspondent Tom Goldman was watching. So how'd it turn out, Tom?
TOM GOLDMAN: Well, Morehead State beat Alabama State…
INSKEEP: Yes.
GOLDMAN: …58 to 43. I know you're excited about that.
INSKEEP: Well, it's my alma mater, Morehead State. So I have to…
GOLDMAN: Your alma mater. And you would have been proud. They dominated every part of the game, especially rebounding. Morehead State had a 50 to 27 advantage.
And center Kenneth Faried, who's one of the rebounders in the country, had 21 of those 50 rebounds. And more importantly, he thoroughly out-played his counterpart for Alabama State, a seven-foot center of Navajo descent, the phenomenally named Grlenntys Chief Kickingstallionsims, Jr., so the longest name in the tournament is out, Steve, your school is in.
INSKEEP: Okay. Well, you know, I'm not going to brag about this, because that would not be Morehead's style. We're very modest people. But how far do you think we'll go in the tournament?
(Soundbite of laughter)
GOLDMAN: If you're filling out your bracket, put down your pencil and back away slowly, Steve. By winning last night, the Eagles earned the right to get pummeled by Louisville Friday in the first round. Louisville is number one ranked in the entire field. The Cardinals beat Morehead State by 38 points in November.
INSKEEP: But, you know, it's March Madness. Anything can happen, Tom.
GOLDMAN: But not that.
INSKEEP: Oh. Well, if you don't think that Morehead State is going to be the team, because most years there's a team that surprises - that has some huge surprise early on. If you don't think it's going to be Morehead State, who could it be.
GOLDMAN: Well, I'm not sure if this will be a surprise team, but they're a great story, and we love stories. These are the North Dakota State Bison. Now this is the first year North Dakota State is fully eligible as a Division One school. It made the transition from Division Two.
And knowing this might be the only time they could play together in the NCAA tournament, several of the current senior players redshirted earlier in their careers. That means they didn't compete for an entire academic career in order to save up their eligibility for later, for this very moment, and it worked out. The Bison won their conference title on a last second shot. They qualified for the tournament. What do they get for that? They get to play the defending champion, Kansas Jayhawks.
INSKEEP: And again, anything could happen, Tom. Anything could happen. But seriously, if you look at these brackets, and for those who don't know - I mean, people will obsessively fill out the 64 teams now and go through and give their picks about who might win. Any tips?
GOLDMAN: Oh, you bet. It's very easy. You want to take into account about 40 to 50 factors, like won-loss record, momentum, player injuries, RPI, which stands for Rating Percentage Index, strength of schedule, who's coaching the team, past tournament performances, do they have good point guards, good big men, nice uniforms, cool nick names - or you can follow the president's lead.
At noon Eastern Time today, ESPN will reveal President Obama's complete tournament bracket. And it's already slipped out, Steve, that he's selected North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Memphis in his final four. We understand none of the schools he's chosen have undisclosed tax problems, so his selections will stand.
INSKEEP: NPR Sports Correspondent Tom Goldman. Thanks very much.
GOLDMAN: You're welcome.

The Grahams announce limited tour only Pretenders/Mazzy Star covers 7" single
Nashville based Americana duo The Grahams will return to the UK in February/March for an almost month long run of dates. The dates will include two shows at the C2C / Country 2 Country festival at the O2 in London on March 9th-10th. To coincide the duo will release a strictly limited 7" single, only available during the tour, which features their versions of tracks by The Pretenders and Mazzy Star (both tracks are great but the Mazzy Star is especially good). The tracks will feature on the upcoming soundtrack to their feature length Love & Distortion documentary due later this year. More about The Grahams, the tour dates and a link to check out the single follows:
Vibrant Nashville-based Americana duo The Grahams (pronounced Grams) announce extensive February-March 2018 UK tour previewing material from two eagerly anticipated projects due later this year – their new studio album produced by Richard Swift (Black Keys, Arcs, Shins), and continuing their adventurous exploration of the USA - this time around on two wheels - the soundtrack to their new feature length documentary Love & Distortion.
In the Fall of 2016, while the country reels from a seemingly unstoppable vortex of disorientation, musicians & lifelong soulmates The Grahams, set out on a spectacular motorcycle expedition across America's time warped Route 66. Amidst the neon, the romance, the heat, the music and the sheer power of nostalgia, The Grahams explore the concept of "real" America with the eccentric and notorious characters who live and work in the strange and mysterious world that is Route 66.
Featuring a surreal soundtrack with contributions from Nashville's finest; Elizabeth Cook, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Dylan LeBlanc, Chuck Mead, Lilly Hiatt, The Grahams and many more, Love & Distortion is not a travel guide or a musical biopic. This feature length documentary, which follows The Grahams down the Mother Road, is an unconventional narrative weaving in and out of moments and realities that can be found in the various sub-cultures of America's Main Street.
On the first taster from the soundtrack, which will only be available as a limited edition 7" single at UK shows, until the full soundtrack's official release later this year, The Grahams interpret The Pretenders' 'Don't Get Me Wrong', a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1986, and Mazzy Star's 1994 cult classic 'Fade Into You'.

About The Grahams
Alyssa and Doug Graham have spent nearly their entire lives exploring music together. Friends since she was 7 and he was 9, they became a couple in their teens, then husband and wife. Somewhere along the way, they also became The Grahams, a dynamic Americana duo who've married their love of adventure with a desire to build on foundations laid by their musical predecessors. Their first song-crafting expedition, along the Mississippi's Great River Road, became their 2013 debut, Riverman's Daughter. For its follow-up, Glory Bound, they rode the rails - and wound up recording not only a studio album, but Rattle The Hocks, a documentary and live album recorded on the move and in venues from Sun Studio to Amtrak's famed City of New Orleans train.

Happy July!! What are you guys up to? This morning, before writing this I had a typical wrestling match with my 4 month old. He's getting so strong and starting to figure out how his arms and legs work. Not to mention, heavy! He's already 17 and a half pounds!
So sorry I've been MIA. Our little family had the scare of our lives Wednesday night. Baby Z decided, with his vocal alarm, that he was getting hungry. My Husband Zach (Big Z) ran upstairs to grab him a bottle while I changed his diaper. (We are currently communal living in our basement bc our air conditioning is out… but that's a whole 'nother story!) So, I'm changing the baby and the screaming stops, a couple coughs and he goes completely limp. My heart jumps through my throat. I roll him to his side patting his back thinking that he may be choking on some formula that's decided to make it's way back up. Nothing. I pick him up and begin semi-forcefully whacking him on the back. Still nothing. I turn him around and fishhook into his mouth/throat with my finger and he comes to.
**I learned at the hospital that the fishhook maneuver is a major no-no, for future reference**
My Husband comes running downstairs from what screaming he heard through the fans we have running. He finds me holding the baby with his diaper half attached. We gather up baby supplies as quickly as possible and head for the hospital. In the meantime, Baby Z has a frequent hiccup that sounds like hes trying to catch his breath and looks terribly zoned out. I've admitted before that if you look up the phrase "grace under pressure" you will most definitely never find a photo of me beside it. This event has turned me into wife-zilla and my husbands probably wondering who the heck he married and why he married her. My 7 year old is quiet and as helpful as possible. On the drive there, Jace (sweet 7 year old) keeps checking on the baby (he's fallen asleep from the car ride) as I hold my hand on his chest to make sure hes breathing.
We arrive. Emergency room parking door is locked with a sign that says to buzz for security. We buzz. Nothing. (I'm losing what little s**t I have left) Hubby says we better go around to the main entrance, we start to walk as security answers our call and asks what we need. We're inside.
We get to front desk. We're informed we need to fill out slip to be seen and slide it through window. I do so. No one looks at slip because the nurses are busy with a lady who has cut her hand. (Momma-bear brain explodes as we wait. My Husband keeps giving me the "big eyes" so at least I'm not the only one about ready to kill someone.) Cut lady proceeds to have a conversation with the nurses after she has been fixed up and is on her way out. I begin pacing.
Nurse calls for us. They ask what happened. I explain. They take our babys heart rate, check his oxygen levels and temp. All are good. I'm a little relieved but still panicking inside that they are nowhere near as stressed about this situation as I feel they need to be. (To me, my baby quit breathing and they're not too concerned.) They take us back to a pediatric emergency room. My Dad comes and picks up Jaceman so he doesn't have to hang around the hospital all night. A little wait, but we are seen by numerous nurses, residents and doctors. All of which, want to know what happened. I give them my recount. They listen to his lungs, ask us more questions, do an xray. The doctors decide it would be best for him to be admitted.
(Great! We're now spending the night…)
Around 4am they take us to our room in the pediatric section of the hospital. It's a new addition to the hospital and is so nice. The nurses are all wonderful and dressed with cute children's favs on their scrubs.. Well, all of them except the gentleman who has been sent to stab my child. Dramatic? Maybe. I learn that Baby Z has to have blood drawn before we can try to sleep for the night. My husband helps the bloodtaker while I go over all of our booking details with the "nice" nurse.
We spend the night. Well, we sleep for about 2 hours. During that time, around 17 people are in and out of the room. I get up around 5:15 to help the lady who's attempting an EKG. She's woken Zachary up and hes less than thrilled. (I second his emotions.) A little while later we are greeted by many Doctors. Another recount is requested. Lead doctor informs me that there are 2 possible diagnosis. Diagnosis 1, BRUE, is a not so uncommon occurance in children under one year old where they stop breathing and then resume breathing on their own with no real reason. Episodes last less than a minute. Doc believes that since the baby didnt turn blue, that diagnosis 2 is probably more likely. Breath holding is the other presumption. Apparently this occurs when a child is throwing a fit/gets upset and decides they are going to hold their breath until they pass out. The thing is, this is usually seen in children starting at the age of 6 months. Mine is only 4 months. Can he really be this stubborn already?? He's usually the sweetest happiest baby on earth. I mean… so sweet that all the nurses and doctors wanted to steal him. He woke up smiling when they came in to examine him!
(Jace was thrilled there was a PS4 so he could play Minecraft while we waited!)
The doctors said that this is pretty much a thing that will pass. They said he looked great and that all of his test results looked great except for his EKG. We ended up stuck at the hospital until 5pm the next day not knowing why. They had told us around 8am that we should be getting discharged soon. Turns out, our little love had to have a second EKG for irregular results. The worst part is that his second reading came back the same way, irregular. He is showing having 4 inversions instead of the normal 3 that are seen in children. We are seeing a cardiologist on the 5th and are hopeful that it's just from misplacement of sensors. If you dont mind, please pray that everything is ok. 🙏 The resident we spoke with said that the cardiologist told her the results would not be the reason for him going limp. I'm just hoping theres not something else going on that we were unaware of.
Hopefully this post can find someone who has had a similar experience or is going through the same thing. I'd love to connect & hear from you!!
❤ Bianca

Umesh Yadav achieved something that rarely happens in cricket, irrespective of the format!
RCB's Umesh Yadav picked up two wickets off the first two balls of the match, which does not happen often. Mumbai Indians, who are eager to score a win, are hosting Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium. MI's luck with the toss was nothing different this time as they lost four tosses on the trot. Virat Kohli had no hesitation in opting to bowl first. That has been the trend this season in IPL.

Yadav picked the wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan, thereby joining an elite group of bowlers to have done do in the first couple of balls. There is only one other person who achieved the same in IPL — Praveen Kumar, who did it way back in 2011.

They say cricket is a great leveller. In the last match, Yadav was hit massively and now things have changed in two balls. That is all it took.
Umesh Yadav conceded 27 runs in his last over of the last match.
Today picks 2 wickets off first 2 balls.

As we speak, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma and Evin Lewis have steadied things but they need to carry on because Virat Kohli is deadly when it comes to chasing and hence a solid target is necessary for Mumbai Indians if they hope to win this one.

I walked to her grave and though it has been months since I last visited, it all looked like it was before. I placed the red roses she loved beside her tombstone. I looked around if there was anyone else near the vicinity. There was no one.
I knelt down and started removing the fallen leaves that fell on her final resting place. I sat down after a bit and decided to just tell her what happened.
"Hi. I just dropped by to visit you. I know it has been a while. I hope you're not sad about that. For the last six months or so, many things have happened."
I took a deep breath and readied my handkerchief. This was the hardest part. The crying part.
"I…miss you. I tried to call so many times but I was too scared of your anger. I know I disobeyed you and I shouldn't have done that. Now, I see the error of my ways. But of course, it's too late."
My tears started to fall…on the grass, on my t-shirt. I knew my nose was red.
"When you told me that leaving home meant giving up on us, I didn't believe you. I was too full of myself. I was arrogant, conceited and reckless. All that blinded me of the real treasure… of us being together."
I took out the letter she wrote me three months ago. It was now tear-stained and nearly torn. I read it so many times.
"The best times of my life were with you. You nurtured me and saw me through all the rough times. You were always there for me but in the end, I wasn't there for you. I knew you died of that fact and I am so sorry."
I knelt down and wept. I wanted to crawl into her grave and just be beside her.
"Nothing I do can change the truth. I can only try to make it better. I hope, in time, you will forgive me…"
I took out the gun I bought earlier and shot myself.
Nothing was forgotten. Nothing was forgiven.

QIAGEN Announces Offering of Convertible Notes
Venlo, The Netherlands, August 4, 2004 - QIAGEN N.V. (Nasdaq: QGENF; Frankfurt, Prime Standard: QIA) ("QIAGEN" or the "Company") today announced that it plans to offer US$150 million of senior unsubordinated convertible notes (the "Notes") due 2024 to institutional investors outside the U.S. in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also plans to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional US$22.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
The Notes are structured with a final maturity of 20 years, cannot be called for the first 7 years and are callable thereafter subject to a provisional call trigger of 120% of the conversion price. Noteholders will have an option to require the Issuer to redeem the Notes at par at 7, 10, and 15 years. The Notes are to be offered with a coupon of 0.875% to 1.500% and a conversion premium of 45% to 50%. The coupon and conversion premium will be set at final pricing, which is expected to occur today.
QIAGEN is launching the Notes to take advantage of the attractive financing opportunities currently available in the convertible bond market. The Company believes that the terms of the proposed convertible bond are more advantageous than the terms of its current debt instruments. The company plans to use the proceeds of this offering to optimize the structure of its balance sheet, repay debt, and to finance general corporate purposes and acquisitions.
The Notes will be issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of QIAGEN and guaranteed by QIAGEN. The settlement date of the Notes is expected to be on or about August 18, 2004. An application will be made to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. In conjunction with the offering of the Notes, a significant shareholder of QIAGEN may lend common shares to facilitate the execution of the offering.
The Notes being offered and the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
This announcement is for general information only and does not form part of any offer to sell, or the solicitation of any offer to buy, securities. The distribution of this announcement and the offer and sale of the securities described in this announcement (the "Securities") in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Any persons reading this announcement should inform themselves of and observe any such restrictions.
This announcement is directed only at the following persons in the United Kingdom: persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments; and persons falling within Articles 49(2)(a) to (d) of the U.K. Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2001 (high net worth corporations, unincorporated associations etc.). If you are in the United Kingdom and do not fall into one of the above categories, any investment or investment activity to which this announcement relates is not available to you, and will not be engaged in with you, and you should not act upon, or rely on, this announcement.
The Notes and (the rights to subscribe for) our common stock are not and will not be offered, as part of their initial distribution or at any time thereafter, to persons who are established, domiciled or resident ("are resident") in the Netherlands other than to persons who trade or invest in securities in the conduct of their profession or trade (which includes banks, securities intermediaries (including dealers and brokers), insurance companies, pension funds, other institutional investors and commercial enterprises which as an ancillary activity regularly invest in securities). The offer of the Notes and (the rights to subscribe for) our common stock, each announcement thereof and the prospectus that will be made available comply with the laws and regulations of each State where persons to whom the offer is made are resident.
The Notes and the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be authorized for public offering in Luxembourg and may not be offered or sold in Luxembourg in circumstances that would constitute a public offer unless the requirements of the Luxembourg law concerning public offers have been complied with.
Certain of the statements contained in this news release may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding QIAGEN's intention to commence and complete the offering and the intended uses of the proceeds of any such offering. To the extent that any of the statements contained herein are forward-looking, such statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of uncertainties and risks.

WOBURN – The Ahern Family Charitable Foundation will host its 15th Annual Army-Navy Football Luncheon fundraiser on Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Scoreboard Sports Bar & Grill, 15 Middlesex Canal Park Drive, Woburn.
Proceeds from the luncheon will support Massachusetts children of fallen and deployed troops this holiday season through Operation Santa-Massachusetts, a program created in partnership with the Military Friends Foundation.
Tickets are available now at www.ahernfoundation.org.
Guests will watch the 119th Army-Navy Football game in the newly renovated Scoreboard Sports Bar & Grill. When not watching the traditional American rivalry play out, guests will enjoy a buffet lunch, raffles, and silent and live auction.
Retired Navy Capt. Thomas G. Kelley, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War, will be among the honored guests attending. From 2003 to 2011, Kelley served as secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services. He currently serves as the president of the Medal of Honor Society.
In addition, local media personalities, entertainers and business people join the event's Honorary Host Committee. Among them are: WERS morning host George Knight, comedian Dave Russo, Magic 106.7 morning host David O'Leary, Alt 92.9 personality Amy Brooks, WBZ Radio news announcers Tina Gao and Matt Phipps, Lori Grande of 97.7-FM, radio personality John Willis, Boston 25's Kevin Lemanowicz, WHDH TV's Kimberly Bookman, and Bruin's legend Terry O'Reilly.
The Ahern Family Charitable Foundation was established after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and through fundraising efforts makes grants to military support organizations that provide services to veterans and current members of the U.S. military and their families.
The foundation provided a seed grant to start the Military Friends Foundation, which offers grant programs, community building events, case management and more in support of families who have faced hardships related to military service. Operation Santa-Massachusetts will provide holiday gift cards to more than 100 children of Massachusetts deployed and fallen troops in 2018.
"It's hard to believe we're already in our 15th year of the Army Navy Football Luncheon," said Bob Ahern, president of The Ahern Family Charitable Foundation. "Every year we look forward to inviting everyone back to watch our favorite rivalry, but more importantly to support the families of deployed and fallen troops during the holiday season."
To date, the Ahern Family Charitable Foundation has raised more than $600,000 in helping to provide services to veterans and current members of the U.S. military and their families.

It is fall here in the Inland Northwest, and that means it is time for football, falling leaves, chilly nights, harvest moons, late roses...and soup. Doesn't a fall day just make you want to get out your favorite, comfortable soup recipes? Well, it has that effect on me- in fact, I've just decided to have one soup night a week (at
least through the winter!). Soup Saturdays! :) Most soups can be made in the crock-pot, which makes them tantalizingly easy, and most freeze well, which adds to the appeal! Well, I speak of old, familiar recipes, but the one I tried last week was a new one concocted from familiar flavors. It is a traditional ham and navy bean soup, but depending on the flavor your meat holds, you could get a completely different taste each time! So I will recount for you my ham's history...
I normally don't cook a roast or a ham unless we are having company, because it is such a large meal for just two people. So, when we found out our friends from Oregon would be spending some time with us, I knew it was the perfect excuse to use the ham in my freezer! The day company arrives, I usually try to have a crock-pot dinner, since it allows me to be more free to visit with my guests instead of slaving away in the kitchen, making them feel like they need to help me. So, having decided on the ham (and it was a rather small ham), I began the internet search for a really great crock-pot whole ham recipe. This was a challenge, because, a
s usual, there were a lot of them. I came across many recipes for hams cooked in cola, which interested and frightened me at the same time. It sounded adventurous (My mom later informed me it is a southern trait to cook everything imaginable in cola), but what if it didn't turn out well? And all I had was
Wild Cherry Pepsi and Diet Coke on hand...and several recipes warned against diet. I finally found comments stating that cherry cola gave a good flavor and decided on a recipe that had a brown sugar, mustard and cola glaze. So I bravely followed the recipe, which made a thick paste to smooth over the ham, then put the ham in the crock pot and poured the rest of the cola in the bottom. There it sat, simmering happily all day, and it smelled wonderfully promising! I snitched a piece once the ham was cooked through and it was marvelous! I will standby the
fact that I think this is the best ham I have ever had. I will make it again. And again. For family. For parishioners. Even foreign dignitaries, if they should drop by. ;)
Anyway, that is the background on my ham. The original recipe said to reserve the extra liquid and use it in a soup, so I did. The soup recipe I used was simply a ham and white bean soup, which called for cannellini or Great Northern beans, but I just used navy, which are also, ironically enough, white. :) I soaked them overnight, then, in the morning I rinsed them and threw them into the crock-pot with the ham bone and the chopped up leftover ham, some beautiful onions (fresh from my father-in-law's farm!), carrots, celery, garlic, the leftover liquid plus water, pepper, salt and then I stopped. Hmmm. The recipe called for "Herbs de Provence." Not sure what blend that was, I went to my trusty Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, flipping to the section which described different herbs and spices. Sure enough, they mentioned the mysterious "Herbs de Provence" and claimed it was equal parts basil, fennel, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, sage, savory and thyme. Leaving out the ones that I did not posses (lavender and sage), I made my own by scooping 1/4 tsp of each into a container, sealing it, and shaking thoroughly to mix. I doubled the recipe (but only added one extra cup of liquid) so I could have some extra and it made enough for one dinner, one lunch, and enough to freeze for another dinner!
When all this was in the crock-pot, I put it on low and left it to simmer for the rest of the day. Later I scoured the internet again for a biscuit recipe using whole wheat flour (part of my effort to cook healthier!). The one I found (whole wheat buttermilk biscuits) turned out absolutely delicious, hands down the best biscuit I have ever tasted, if I do say so myself.
The soup was so yummy and fallish, with wonderful sweet and subtle herb flavors and the biscuits, as I stated before but must say again, were out of this world! I think I had three (tsk tsk). :)

Women's Study - Porchlight
Every Monday until April 22, 2019
5:45pm – 7:45pmCategory: Faithwomen
Taking Hold of that which is Truly Life—A Study of Paul's Letters to Timothy, Titus, Philemon
Monday evenings from 5:45-7:45pm at 7205 Shamrock Court (bi-weekly)
Light dinner provided, childcare not provided
September 10 – November 19 & January 14 – April 22
PorchLight is an interactive Bible study that seeks to assist women in discovering for themselves the joy of growing in knowing God through the study of His Word. Join us as we embark upon a study of Paul's letters written to individuals.
Of the 13 New Testament books that bear Paul's name, only four are written to individuals. In them we see a different side of Paul. His passion for gospel purity and his concern that the Church to be effectively led so it remains on mission remain evident. But we also are given insights on a more personal level as he interacts one-on-one with those for whom he has a special fondness.
Whether written to one or to many, Paul's heart pulsates with the hope that those who follow will take hold of that which is truly life.

On December 7, 1988, an earthquake devastated the northwestern section of Armenia, killing tens of thousands of persons. In one small town, directly after the earthquake, a father rushed to his son's school only to find that the school had been flattened and there was no sign of life.
But he had no thought of turning back. He had often told his son, "No matter what, I'll always be there for you when you need me!"
Though the prospects appeared hopeless, he began feverishly removing rubble from where he believed his son's classroom had been. Other forlorn parents only wailed hopelessly. "My son!" "My daughter!" Some told the father to go home, that there was no chance that any of the pupils could be alive. To which this loving father replied, "I made my son a promise that I'd be there for him anytime he needed me. I will continue to dig."
Courageously, he proceeded alone. No one volunteered to help him. He simply had to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?"
With strength and endurance beyond himself, the faithful, loving father continued to dig... for 8 hours... for 12 hours... 24 hours... 36 hours. Then in the 38th hour, as he heaved away a heavy piece of rubble, he heard voices. "Armand!" he screamed.
A child's voice responded: "Dad! It's me, Armand!" Then, "I told the other kids not to worry. I told 'em that if you were alive, you'd save me, and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!"
Moments later, the dad was helping his son Armand and 13 other frightened, hungry, thirsty boys and girls climb out of the debris. Free at last! When the building collapsed, these children had been spared in a tent-like pocket. The father lovingly carried his son home to his mother, where he was given the care he needed.
When the townspeople praised Armand's dad, his explanation was, "I promised my son, 'No matter what, I'll be there for you!'"

Shirley Ann Paugh, 83, passed away peacefully at her home in Cicero on Thursday morning, Feb. 21, 2019 surrounded by her loving family and caregivers.
Born April 7, 1935 in Hamilton County, Indiana, she was the daughter of the late George Keith and Leila M. (Essex) Gardner.
On July 14, 1972, she married Carl Lee Paugh. He survives.
For about a decade, she worked on the production line for Western Electric. After her plant closed, she hired on with Deering Dry Cleaners in Carmel and remained with the company for several years.
Family, puzzles, game shows and traveling, and not always in that order, were what really kept Shirley going, and if you got to combine a few, well, all the better. She loved traveling with her husband as often as they could find the time. Dollywood was one of their favorite spots, however, Hoosier Park in Anderson was definitely a close second. When it came to their casino trips, Mr. and Mrs. Paugh would travel together and walk in together, but once she spied the slot machines, together time was over; she would make a beeline straight for the one-armed bandits. Mrs. Paugh was also very competitive when it came to her game shows. She and Mr. Paugh would watch Wheel of Fortune together just about every night, with Shirley trying to solve the puzzles before the contestants, and of course before her husband. In order to keep her mind sharp, she also loved doing crossword puzzles.
Spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, was the activity she enjoyed the most. Whether it was sitting and watching TV, going on a trip, or just stopping by for a visit, if family was involved, it was at the top of her list.
Survivors other than her loving husband include her son, James Edward Conaway of Cicero; six grandchildren, Robert K. (Jody) Conaway of Ekin, Joshua D. Conaway of Westfield, Carl K. (Sarah) Conaway of Louisville, April M. (Joe) Peterson of Westfield, John Conaway of Knoxville, Tenn. and September Conaway of Peru, Ind.; 16 great-grandchildren; one brother, Jerry (Patty) Gardner of Westfield; and one sister, Rebecca Mikesell of Westfield.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Randy Conaway; daughter-in-law, Janeen Conaway; and three siblings, Patty, Larry and Jack.
Shirley will be laid to rest at Shaw Cemetery in Vernon, Indiana at a later date. She always felt honored that her final resting place would be in the same cemetery as racing driver Pat O'Connor.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Kercheval Funeral Home in Sheridan.

I don't know if I want to charge for my games, and if I do, it won't be much. I would be happier if everyone could just play them. And I would rather focus my energies on providing a solid bare-bones game engine, and writing up tutorials and articles, rather than making a perfectly polished product to publish on stores. I feel I'd be better at handling the responsibility towards other game developers than end-users.
And I don't want to resort to advertisements. After all, I don't watch the bloody things. There's nothing wrong with using them, but for me personally, I feel that I shouldn't profit off of making others deal with them. It will mean so much more to me if someone chooses spend 5-20 bucks to support my work. I don't want people to think they don't need to bother simply because advertising is covering it.
What I really want is the emotional investment from deliberately supporting someone. The number of supporters is far more valuable than the money itself. In exchange for support from the gaming community, I will owe something to the community as a whole.
So whatever you feel like contributing, anything between a 3 dollar micro-transaction to the price of AAA title. At the most, whatever you'd pay for a "deluxe edition". Of course I'll reward anyone who goes crazy over this project. But I don't want to deal with large investments from any one person or any company. The way I see it, taking money for a service is a huge responsibility. I also look at money as if it's heroin, and I don't mean the Lara Croft kind.
Anyway, I'm not setting anything in stone, maybe it's foolish and naive to go this route. But after a lot of thought, this is the way I feel about it. Eventually the JEOZ Engine will be open-source, and I will be "selling" it to the public via PayPal, Patreon, and with an Amazon Wish List.
The Artist that I'm working with on The Big Game has far more reasons to run a KickStarter, and The Big Game will propel his project to it's rightful destination.
I hope to reveal his series of children's books soon, perhaps on Christmas, if not, somewhere around New Years. Perhaps I'll have a video of The Big Game, but I'm curious to see what ideas others might come up with if my version of his world didn't exist.
Click Here to Donate to The Open JEOZ Fund via PayPal
If you already want to help support The OpenJEOZ Project, click the link to donate. Otherwise, you can help out by promoting the project somehow.
At the very least, follow me on FaceBook and Twitter @mynameisjeo.
Then join the JEOZ Forums, it's effortless if you've got accounts on any major social network. You can sign in to make an account in no time, even if you don't plan on using it. I don't know how far the Forum will go, but it's so effortless to make one these days, there's no reason not to, and we'll see what happens.
So, promote or donate! As of now (December 2017) I'm just getting started on going public with this project, so promotion is extremely valuable to me at the moment.

In order to cover the renting fee of those fields, we usually ask our participants to pay a small contribution of up to 400 yen per person (the fee varies depending on the number of players we have). If all fails, or if we feel like having a casual kickaround session while enjoying the sunset, the Seaside House netted soccer pitch is also available, free of charge.
Some "more serious" games are sometimes organized. Those are usually announced way ahead of the game-day in order for the team to train properly (positioning, tactics, ...). Anyone is free to join these games, as long as they can fully commit to the training sessions and work with the team efficiently.
Interested in joining us?
The club is currently managed by Thomas (email@example.com), Soshi (email@example.com) and Yuuki (email@example.com). For any specific question regarding OIST-FC that was not addressed on this webpage, please make sure to contact them.
If you wish to receive updates on the time and locations of our practice sessions, you should probably sign-up to our mailing list. In addition, prior to joining a game, make sure to add yourself to our Google Spreadsheet, so that we can keep track of our members and know how to organize the game in case a large number of peope desire to play with us on a given day.

On a cloudy and sometimes rainy Saturday afternoon, the Tridents made history by winning their third straight Florida Rugby Championship.
The path to the Championship this season was not an easy one. When pool play started in January, the Tridents were missing multiple players who had helped them win State titles the past two seasons. They also had a new head coach, former Trident fullback, Ranald Schulz. Some might have expected a rebuilding year with a focus on the future. The Tridents did not see it that way. After starting the season with 5 victories, the Tridents sustained three losses in a row. They would finish with a record of 6-3 and as the 3rd seeded team in the state. Their reward was a long road trip to 2nd seeded Tampa Krewe, a team who had lost only one game. After narrowly winning 12-7, the Tridents advanced to the State Finals. Their opponent was a team that had earlier defeated them 33-31, Boca Raton RFC. More importantly, the Tridents lost their captain Hein Erasmus to injury in the closing minutes of that match.
The State Finals did not start well for the Tridents, with Boca Raton scoring a try in the 4th minute. The Tridents then ripped off 27 unanswered points. They never relinquished the lead. Late season addition, Joshua Durbach played an outstanding game at scrumhalf, making sure every player was involved in wave after wave of unrelenting attack. After the game, he would credit the forwards for being the key to victory. Boca Raton came back in the 2nd half to score 12 more points, but it was a case of too little, too late. The MVP of the match award went to Connor Christie for a sterling performance at fullback.
The next step is the Southern Conference Championships in Southern Pines, NC on May 5-6th.
The Trident RFC would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard work of all of our players, 1st and 2nd XV's. Without them, we would not be State Champions for a third year in a row. We would also like to thank the Club Officers, the Game Day Committee, and our Team Manager, Mad Dog. Without them, the Club would not run so smoothly and efficiently. Many thanks as well to our sponsors, Atlas Club for their financial support and Fado Irish Pub for putting on the best rugby socials in the State. Finally a huge thank you goes out to all of our supporters and old boys. Every time we travel, whether it's Naples, Orlando, or Jacksonville, we can always count on their presence and cheers from the sidelines.

by – keep up the good work controlling expenses
Congrats to our Eagle County – Public School District and their cost containment efforts. Below from the August 14, 2013 School Board meeting. (Click Here) for a complete copy.
Too often Eagle County Property Taxpayers (the #1 source of revenue for Public Schools) only hear about our Public School Districts – dire need for higher and higher taxes – due to an impoverished local School District.
Well today the ECT folks are happy to point out our School District's "budget surplus" due to higher than expected tax revenues. A fact Eagle County voters might want to keep in mind this November 2013 – when they will be asked to vote for a permanent Income Tax increase to support Public School Education.
Every wonder why you don't read about this in the Fishwrap?
Also of Note? Mr. Jason Glass (photo) is our new Public School Superintendent, replacing our former Superintendent Dr. Sandra Smyser. Per above, Mr. Glass wasted no time dedicating a portion of the Surplus – to increase teacher and staff" annual bonuses. Indeed what better way for the "new boss" to build favor among "his troops" than to hand the troops more money?
In any event Mr. Glass has been the recipient of many nice things being said from his former employer – the Iowa State Board of Education. (Click Here)
ECT folks approve of Mr. Glass's obvious use of technology to help improve Public School Education. (Click Here)
The ECT folks are paying attention, Mr. Glass. Reads like you're off to a good start.

People traveled always, at all times. The representatives of the ancient peoples that inhabited different parts of the Earth, have left records of their impressions of their stay in distant lands. These historical evidences reveal that as we expand trading activities and gains, for example, in Greece, Rome and China, the representatives of the noble class in these countries often went on trips for entertainment, shopping or diplomatic purposes. Herodotus, for example, he left a substantial written legacy of their short trips and longer journeys.
In this literature, which had jizneopisaniya character and historical orientation, was considered the art and philosophy of leisure, described the population of other countries, languages, religions, traditions of giving gifts, the features of local life and hospitality.
During the time of colonial conquest and geographical discoveries of the Arabs (VIII century BC) and Europeans (including Marco Polo – XII century ad) made many entries about travel. Note that these travelers left behind a remarkable literary heritage. So, the poet Basco, who visited Japan in the FIFTEENTH century wrote a memoir, which to this day serve as excellent reference material current tour.

Here originates such a thing as corporate gifts. Things bought in distant foreign countries who came and didn't give only to those with whom he worked and the upstream link. Today it is not needed because a lot of unique corporate gifts can be purchased here. Everything your heart desires, and most importantly — unique gifts, all need to be unique and special. People don't like analogs. As for the history of tourism in that time, one of the most important centres of Maritime trade routes between the Sumerian civilization and the Indus valley was the port of Lothal.

Millions of Germans are annually sent to travel abroad. With tourism as a mass phenomenon began to develop just a few decades ago. Before long journeys could afford only very wealthy people.
Many kilometers of traffic jams on roads and endless queues at airports – so Germany looks during the summer school holidays. A trip to one of the Canary Islands, including flights and the cost of a weekly stay in the hotel with Breakfast and dinner, you can buy it for 300 euros. While on vacation the majority of Germans have begun only a few decades ago.
In carriages over rough roads
"Researchers believe that the concept of "tourism" appeared in the XVIII century" – says the Hasso Spode (Hasso Spode), member of the historical archive at the Free University of Berlin. But what separates the traveler from the tourist? "Tourism is travel without clearly defined objectives, – the expert believes. – Previously, the travelers set out on a journey with a specific mission: the pilgrims sought spiritual solace, the conquerors had set sail for new victories." And only in the XVIII century people began to travel just for fun.
Only for the rich
At first, the journey could afford only wealthy people. Had to get to the goal on rough roads, to take care of the nights and the change of horses. Because Germany at that time was not a unified state, travelers at border crossings had to pay fees for the use of roads and other charges.
According to the testimony of German historians, the first "shelter" organized tourism began in the late eighteenth century the Mecklenburg Baltic sea coast. In the town of Heiligendamm began to open the baths and beaches. Travelers were asked all thirty-three pleasures: gambling, horse riding, horse racing, various festivals, and even the services of prostitutes. Swimming in the sea was not the main occupation of the illustrious visitors. The writer Ludwig Bern (Ludwig Börne) in 1825 laughed at them: "the Princes and princesses here so much as the snails: they are met at every step".

Revolution Thomas Cook
"Tourism was popular among a small number of people. In the eighteenth century only about one percent of people in Germany could afford to travel," explains the Hasso Spode. However, the situation quickly changed. Not only aristocrats longed for rest. In 1841 a British entrepreneur Thomas cook has made a revolution in the field of tourism: using the railway, it carried a group of about 600 people for the purpose of walks. Thomas cook booked for clients whole trains and in hotels. Staying out of the competition, he offered tourists vacation at very affordable prices.
"Thomas cook was a very successful businessman in the field of tourism", – emphasizes the Berlin expert Hasso Spode. It offered its clients the services of tour guides, took responsibility for solving various organizational problems while traveling. In Germany very quickly found followers cook, who began to engage in tourist business, taking advantage of rail transport. Because the train could ride in any weather, regardless of the state of the roads, and the passengers could enjoy the views from the Windows of cars.
When national socialism
After coming to power in 1933 the Nazis took into their own hands and travel business. Their main goal was to attract representatives of the working class. "The Nazis created in 1933 the organization "Strength through joy" ("Kraft durch Freude"), which became one of the world's largest travel companies," emphasizes the Hasso Spode. She offered, for example, cruises that were previously available only to the rich. Propaganda pictures show people on the loungers, enjoying the sunshine on Board the ship.
Passenger liner "Wilhelm Gustloff", 1938
But with the outbreak of the Second world war, the tourist zeal of the Nazis subsided. The private travel company continued to exist, which is very irritated the authorities, who wanted to use trains exclusively for military purposes. "Wanderlust in the people was so great that the Nazis were afraid of her to interfere", – says the expert on the history of tourism the Hasso Spode. Only in 1943 the German travel companies was suspended.
The economic success of West Germany led to the revival of the tourism industry. Many went on the road already in their own cars. In 1970-ies routes vacations have become more diverse. Especially fond of the Germans, Italy and Spain. Rising wages and relatively low prices of sale vouchers made the experience accessible to everyone.
The beach in the Italian resort town of Rimini
In the GDR have been a somewhat different situation. Here, according to the expert the Hasso Spode, the widespread so-called social tourism. The rest of the citizens were controlled by the authorities, and the unions were the main coordinators of the holiday destinations of the inhabitants of the GDR. The choice was, but not too wide: GDR citizens could go to neighboring socialist countries, say, in Hungary or Czechoslovakia, Poland or the USSR. Only with the fall of the Berlin wall, East Germans gained full freedom of movement.
But not all Germans today pulling abroad. "Germany itself for many still is a favorite place of rest", – said the expert on tourism from the University of Munich jürgen Shade (Jürgen Schmude). And the attitude of the Germans to the rest changed lately. Despite the fact that in 2012 holiday budget people in Germany were not the highest in the world, giving primacy to China, tourism in Germany – good prospects.
"A new trend several trips a year: the Germans divide their vacation into two or three parts. If before the vacation was only for the summer, today the Germans rest and in the autumn, winter and spring", – says the expert from Munich.
