After running at Born to Run last year, I was hooked on trail races and set my sights on a 50k. Jumping on Ultrasignup.com, I looked around for a local(ish) trail race in March of 2016 and that's when I came across the Old West Trail 50k. After reading the Ultrasignup page, race website, and race recaps from previous years I decide that this sounded like a great race for my first 50k. Around this same time I was asked by Fleet Feet Sports Burbank, my local running club, to mentor an 18 week long LA Marathon training program. The schedule of the training program lined up nicely with my 50k preparation, and I would just have to train a few weeks more than the rest of the group. Luckily, the Old West 50k course is fairly flat so I didn't have to make many adjustments to the road marathon training. It would end up being a 23 week training program, which I got though the OK aside from a few minor injuries.
Friday March 18th
We arrived at Stage coach Trails Horse camp & RV park around 7:00 P.M. and was greeted by the parks manager. We got checked in and went right to work on setting up our tent before we lost the remaining sun light. Our camp was set-up by 7:40 P.M. which gave us enough time to grab pre-race dinner at the camp lodge. As we entered the lodge, Larry the Race director was in the middle of tossing out Orange Mud water bottles and other freebies donated by sponsors of the race. There was no shortage of give-aways that night as well as great stuff in the runner goodie bags.
After the wife and I ate our plate of spaghetti I went over to get checked in. Race volunteers gave me my bib number and instructed me to check in again just before the race start tomorrow monring. Everyone we met from the Old West Trail Crew was super nice and eager to help in anyway they could! At this point Larry (the RD) took everyone through a course briefing, after which we headed back to our campsite to turn in for the night since the race started at 7 A.M. and I wanted to get up earlier to make sure everything was prepared.
Saturday March 19th
Around 3:00 A.M. my wife Kim woke up which in turn woke me up as well. We unzipped the tent window and looked up at the star filled sky. It was truly awesome – we hadn't seen stars like that in a long time. I tried to go back to sleep but with temps in the low 40's, nerves abuzz, and all that goes along with pre-race jitters it was impossible to fall back asleep. Finely 5:30 A.M. rolled around so I got up and got all my gear ready for the race, and made my way to the lodge to re-check in and to get warm. It was chilly that morning!
The lodge it was in full swing with runners eating breakfast, chatting, and Larry doing course briefings every 10 minutes or so.
As it got closer to 7:00 A.M. I headed outside get loose before the start. I also checked in one last time withAs I headed to the starting line, I checked in one final time with Kim to make sure she was good and told her if I'm not back by 2:00 P.M. then something most likely went wrong (foreshadowing?) In hindsight, I failed to tell her that she can get updates on my whereabouts on the course through the radio operators at the finish area. Lesson learned…
With final checks and perparations completed, I peeled off my long sleeve and made my way to the starting line.
As we watch the start clock tick down, RD Larry and the staff made some Final announcements and last attempts to call out runners who failed to check that morning. The start of this race was very casual with Larry just counting down from 7-1 and just saying go. It was fun to see how relaxed the start was and a great at 7:00 A.M.
Here is a video that Kim took of the start.
Red Loop Out:
The red loop almost 100% jeep road with loose sand and at some points it almost felt like you where running on the beach. As I was trying to monitor my pace at the begining I heard some guys behind me chatting and telling jokes. So I decide to chime in with a Joke of my own and like that we hit it off. I learned there Name where Wayne and Greg and they where both experienced ultra runners. They had a solid pace going so I decide to stay with them. As we pass out of the camp we come to the highway there are volunteers here make sure we get across the road safely. Once across the highway its back to the Jeep road. Which at this point isn't to bad. We finally make it to the T junction where the Red Loop Splits to the left is the White Loop and to the right is the Blue Loop. We are meet by another volunteer that directs us onto the White Loop.
White Loop Out & Back
The White Loop is 90% single track and 10% Jeep road. Once we turned onto the White Loop I was like Yes this is what I signed up for! still hanging with Greg and Wayne at this point we have a great pace going and a lot of chatting which is really helping those miles fly by. I'm still looking at my watch try to keep my pace in check.
Here is a video of the start of the White Loop
around mile 3 we catch up to another female runner. (I never got her name. You can see her in the distance in the video above.) She had ran this race a few other times and was chatting it up with us. We tucked right behind her and let her know we did intend to pass her at this point. The 4 of us stay pretty close to one another until around mile 5 when we hit the first climb. Wayne and I pulled back and walked this up hill Greg and the girl kept motoring. Somewhere near the top I think we lost the girl. I didn't see her for the rest of the race. As we made our way into Plum Canyon right around mile 6 I hit a rock and land hard on my right side.
Wayne was in front of me and Greg was behind. We stop briefly to make sure I wasn't badly hurt. I said I was fine and quickly hopped up so as to get back to our pace! I told both Wayne and Greg I fell so they didn't have to (its an on going runners joke). We made are way though Plum Canyon which was truly amazing.
Here is a video of us heading into Plum Canyon.
We kept chatting and telling cheesy jokes. At this point we came to a wide open jeep road. I knew we where only a few miles away from a full aid station at mile 8 which was also the turn around. I didn't want Greg or Wayne to feel like they had to wait for me to clean up and what not. So I told them not to wait for me at the turn around. I also knew at the turn around we would be going back up the downhill we had been enjoying. We hit the aid station and are greeted by awesome volunteers eager to help us! I know I had some blood on me so I thanked them and told them I was ok. Greg and Wayne grabbed some snacks water and went back to it wishing me the best of luck! I reached into my pack to get my first-aid kit quickly cleaned my shoulder grab some snacks and water and started walking. Over the next 3 mile I covered 1000ft in gain. On this climb I was power walking and was able to catch backup to Wayne. I decided to stay near him for a bit. Once we arrived to the top just outside of Plum canyon I knew there was a good downhill so I opened it up a bit to enjoy this.
Here's a video from that downhill
Once pass that downhill we where back to the relatively flat single track. the gain and heat where starting to take effect on me. So I ran walked most of this section Wayne caught up with me just around mile 13 near a water drop station. He saw that the heat was starting to get to me so suggested that I place Ice under my hat on top of my head. I tried that but got brain freeze almost instalny to the point of pain. So I had to ditch the ice and just stick behind Wayne for as long as I could. With only a mile left of the White Loop I had to peel off from Wayne and start walking some more. I finally made it out of the White Loop and was pumped because I knew my drop Bag laid just head at mile 15.6.
Here are the rest of the photos from the White Loop
Blue Loop Out and Back
Blue loop is 95% Jeep road and 5% single track. Once again passing the same volunteer who I had seen earlier in the day. The start of the Blue loop was very similar to that of the White Loop an awesome single track. A male and female running passed me and I stuck behind them until we hit the first jeep road. It was a little up hill so I just stuck back into my power walking. I walked all the way to the aid station and my drop bag. Once there I sat down and change shirt, hat, and socks. Reloaded my water pack and restocked on Cliff Banana Beets pouches. I hung out at the aid station for a bit seeking medical because I had forgot to apply sunblock and loading up on potatoes. Once I was ready to get back to it. I was feeling really great now and just with in a half mile of that aid station I started a climb again. Switching back to power walking I got over that hill and end up in the flattest parts of this course. (Once you get on the Blue Loop you are never more then 3.5 miles from an aid station) This part of the course I found the toughest for me. Because of how flat and the heat. You always hear about hitting a wall or that a runner finds them self in a dark place. Well for me the Blue Loop was that wall and the dark place all at the same time. I can't express how hard this section of the course was for me. as I rolled up on the next water station mile 18.93. I decide to try something anything to pull myself out of my funk. So I drank electrolyte fizz followed by Coke and candy! Hoping the sugar and caffeine would give me a boast. I was able to run another half mile before was back to walking. I also notice blisters starting to form on the bottom of both feet. Somewhere near mile 20 this 66 year old man came strolling by me saying "You got to take advantage of those downhills" I thought this section was really flat but if you say so. I found his pace something I thought I could hang with I was able to stick with for about a mile before back into my hole I crawled. Finally I make it to mile 22 and the turn around point (on normal runs I get really happy about the turn around, but not here) Again I tried other things to pulled me out: pickles, Coke and more potatoes. I went back to it and still there in the middle of the desert 9 mile more of this… Let sum this up with everything was bad and wrong for me here. Nothing was working. Blisters, sunburned, and beat up from the fall in the middle of the desert.. Dark, Dark, Dark… Got pass the water drop and had somehow caught back up to the 66 year I had lost earlier. He saw I was in a bad place and decided to walk with me for a while. Along the way another runner liked our pace and decide to tag along. Both of them still had gas in there tanks and when they picked up the pace I stayed with them as long as I could then back to walking. We finally made it to the down hill just before the final aid station. I was really looking forward to this because I thought I could make up sometime, but at this point the blister on my feet hurt so bad I couldn't run down these hills. So I totally lost sight of the 66 year old and the other runner that had help me thus far. (I never saw them again or had the chance to think them for there help.) Made to the aid station didn't stay long less then 2.5 miles to go. Down the sandy jeep road and back to the single track. I finally made it out of the Blue Loop. There's that Volunteer again this time pointing me back to the Red Loop.
Here are the photos I took out on the Blue loop
Red Loop Back
Again this is 100% jeep road really soft sand in parts. So I tried running it because I knew I missed my time marks by this point and with no way to get word to my wife I knew she was freaking out at this point. Running didn't work it was just to soft and I was done. I cross the highway with a little jog but then right back to the quicksand. As I start to arrive back within the campsite I start looking toward my campsite for Kim. I see her and she see me I tear up because I know she was worried about me. I round the corner and see the Jubilation Line (Finish Line). I want to finish strong so mustard up what I can to run pass the line. My official Time was 7:09:53
Here's the video of me crossing the Jubilation Line
I'm giving my medal and place my hand on my legs waiting for Kim to run over to me. She there in no time flat and checking with me to see what happened. I reassure her that I'm fine just had a real hard time out there. Wayne and Greg Spot us and come over to Congratulate me!! It was great seeing them again!
Post Race
The post race food was amazing I ate potato soup, salad, jello, and nachos. My eyes where bigger then my stomach and I could finish all my food. There was a guy on the front pouch of the lodge play guitar. We loved the music it was really nice. Kim and I went back to our campsite and just chilled out for the rest of the evening.
Overall I had a wonderful time at the Old West Trail 50k and 30k Fun Run. The staff seem like a tight knit family and ton of heart and soul goes into this race. The Camping is amazing, the course is great (that's right I said it "GREAT" even the Blue Loop), Pre-race & Post socials well planned out, and cost of the race is a good value. Desert running is differently different then I though and my goals where a little high, but really learned from the whole experience. I'm already planning my next 50K. If you are up for the challenge I would highly recommend you give this one a go!

We (Nick and Rob) were tasked with reviewing an IPA. Typical brewers only want to drink hoppy hoppy hoppy beers, right? WRONG! Lately we've been drifting more and more into the world of Lagers here at O'Connor's (we've already brewed 3 this season and have a couple more on deck). However, this was a special occasion. Western Michigan has found itself the center of the Midwest beer universe and that means a lot of eyes are on our region to create and produce some of the best beers in the world. How can we say that we make amazing IPA's without judging ourselves against the undisputed champions of the IPA-Stone Brewing? So, when the "Enjoy By" series made its way to Grand Rapids it was time to do some serious judging. Literally speaking, this is not an IPA unless you are incredibly liberal with the ABV range, so we judged it to style in the Imperial IPA category. Once again, we are using our O'Connor's HBS official beer scoring sheets and guidelines.
Appearance: 15 out of 15! This beer was fined, filtered, or centrifuged. Crystal clear with a pretty golden hue and a white rocky persistent head.
Aroma: 30 for 30. Smelled like delicious hops. Rob and I really tried to find something to critique, but in the end we decided that we were really just saying what we could do differently. Basically our critiques were invalid, and Rob and I decided that we couldn't improve the aroma, just change it for fun. Malt aroma was cookie-ish (that's a real beer aroma). As far as hop aroma goes, it ran the spectrum: woody, floral, grapefruit, pine, and resinous.
Flavor/Mouth feel: 40/40. It tasted like what it smelled like. It was amazing on all counts. With most Stone IPAs the hops completely overpower the malt bill. However, the malt was very well balanced with the hops. Malt left a light bready flavor with a medium mouth feel. Hop flavors were citrus, earthy, pine and floral.
Overall: 100/100. Rob and I could not find any flaw in this beer. Its rare that a beer lives up to its hype, but this one is flat out phenomenal.

I'll wake up early morning
At a festival or weekend
And take a little walk to clear my mind
There'll be singing in the air
From the birds that flutter there
And then I'll think that really life is fine
I've been lucky in my journeys
And I've travelled most the world
And learned the local songs along the way
You can copy styles and rhythms
But what's important is the singing
And giving heart to what you've got to say
There's a time for contemplation
(Whether old or whether single)
Of Life, and what it means to you
I would rather think instead
As I walk around my head
Of the loving, and the singing, and the truth
Sometimes the truth is painful
But you write it if you're honest
And tears may start as you think what you are
But none of us are saints
Or as black as others paint us
Just show the world yourself, and you're a star
I know a public house
- In fact I know of several! -
Where singing's more than just a route to fame
And I would rather far be there
With a beer, and friends around me
Than any other place you'd care to name
My days are full of laughter
And my nights are full of singing
With just a touch of sadness in the song
I am proud, but not too boastful
As I sing to raise the heavens
And all my lovely friends will sing along.

The guy below was a young guy who had pitched his first game in the Major Leagues. On the way home that night his vehicle was hit by a drunk driver and he was killed. This display was out front of the stadium. One sign said "He's still an Angel, he just pitches for a different team."
Happy Birthday Spencer!
The evening of Spencer's birthday the four of us went to a game. It was exciting, the played the Red Sox and there was a pretty even number of Boston and Anaheim fans. I have to say though, the Boston fans were a bit more obnoxious.

Holiday celebrations wouldn't achieve success less the gifts, meals, and festive led lighting. Lighting vacation celebrations is an experiencing recreation for individuals who need their celebration to become effective and lively. But, decorating events could be considered a bad diversion for additional individuals.
But as a result of the arrival of lightemitting diodes (LED), individuals now have the ability to appreciate expensive vacation events without so much as fretting about the vitality, period, and also the electrical bills they can eat up.
LED works on the semiconductor to generate an illumination. In comparison to everyday bulbs, LED isn't hazardous since they will have a chilling mechanism to contact, plus it just uses a modest number of electricity. This technology will not just save the cost of the customers, although it will also assist them all to save the surroundings.
Furthermore, LED will come in various styles, making them appropriate and much more exquisite as designing materials for workplace room or holiday celebrations. LED lights may also be safer for design since they do not burn up that readily unlike, normal fluorescent and incandescent lights.
It should be blocked within an electrical socket, to control this technology. Again, since they simply eat a modest number of electricity customers don't need to be concerned concerning the electricity bill.
Specialists also have produced LED lights which are solar-powered. These LED lights are associated with a solar-powered device to function. The device must be positioned by the user towards the earth to consume the ULTRA-VIOLET radiation of sunlight. The power which is consumed in sunlight may undoubtedly be utilized throughout the night time to flip to the LED lights. With this specific gadget, folks isn't going to have to be anxious about the electricity expenses.
This technology is not simply use for holiday and adventure arrangements because its characteristics may also be utilized on different instances. When compared with incandescent lights, LED lights last more, since they do not have to alter the light often which makes it less-expensive for consumers.
LED lights will also be trustworthy and permanent. Last, in case that one string of the LED light will not work anymore, the rest of the lights continue to be usable.
With stage lighting equipment,People can save more income and safeguard the surroundings, while experiencing the luxurious of vacation parties.

"...and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:2

Entering Winter, Leaving the House:
Reflections on Braving the Winter (& Finding it Blessed)
I love to hike on Mondays. On all days, actually, but I take Mondays off of work (a happy consolation for never having weekends free) and so, of all the days I love to hike, Mondays are the days I am most likely to be found doing the thing I love.
Surprisingly, it takes considerable effort to do the things I love the thought of.
To love hiking is to love seasons. To live in Wisconsin is to have more seasons to love! I love each season in the way I love my children: equally, differently, appreciating quirks and strengths and wonders in this one that I know better than to look for in the others. Best to receive each one open-heartedly. Thankfully.
In spring, the ice melt on the marsh, with its stratified, moldering layers of leaf, can look disarmingly (and sometimes dangerously) like land. Summers bring the captivating sparkle of the sunlight on the waters. Autumn in Wisconsin is fireworks of foliage in slow motion, brought to life by angles of the sun's light peculiar to this season. Winter is a lot of things. For a few weeks every year, from this Texan's perspective, winter is simply too cold to enjoy.
I am predictably reluctant to embrace winter in the way that hiking requires. Ever-available, and without much effort, is the aesthetic appreciation of winter through windows by fireside. Of course, to truly enter winter involves exiting the house. Winter, for me, is a challenge to love.
But today I remembered what my heart never quite fully forgets: winter is worth it.
Today it was the footprints in the snow. When I am alone on a hike in the snow, the footprints around me make the similarly solitary wanderings of others visible. The footsteps could have been from other days, but when I see them I feel the company of the ones who, at least not too long ago, likewise indulged an impulse to brave the cold and go out wandering. They wear all kinds of shoes and boots. Some of those shoes and boots lead up to the snowman ahead of me. The steps of the builders are distinct from those of later admirers, which stop short of the piece. Some, maybe most, of the prints today belong to animals. (The hoof prints of deer inevitably leave me all too aware of my physical limitations.) Whether booted or hooved, alone or with others, the wanderings of all of these creatures led them to this place of wandering, the place of my present wandering, even if none of us has words to say why.
Sometimes, when I arrive at the St. Francis House Chapel before the last night's snowfall has been removed, I see the snow prints of seekers who tried the chapel door in the middle of the night and, finding it locked, turned back. Ironically, the search for God made in the cover of darkness, with the promise of secrecy - à la Nicodemus - is memorialized, exposed, by the inch deep footprints cast in snow.
Footprints profess the possibilities perceived by the ones who make them. I try to learn from footprints.
I find comfort in footprints, too. Other children of God wandered this way, found that trail interesting. Sometimes, they see possibilities off the trail I hadn't seen. Sometimes, as today with the frozen creeks, they see possibilities off the trail I will lack the courage to take. Other times, though, I follow those footsteps. Learn from them. Try on a new "possible" and discover new worlds. Walk on frozen waters.
These are my communion of saints.

"Go right ahead," Panther says as she leads you to the door. "Here's the key. there's a door at the top of the stairs. I'll be right up with a pillow and fresh blankets." She hands you the key. You two part ways as you walk up the stairs to the attic.
A couple minutes later, Panther walks into the room. "Hey, Dakota?" "Yeah?" you respond from a dusty rocking chair. "What's your plan here? What are you going to do?" She says as she walks towards you. "I guess I can help you fight off your parents or maybe the prison." You take the blankets and pillow over to an old bed. "It would most likely be my parents. If they found out you were here, they would murder me." "Well, why don't you move to my city with me? It's pretty far away from here." You begin making a bed for yourself. "My children exist, you know. My parents wouldn't let me leave if they were going with me." "Sneak out. Barleyville is a nice homey village. I could accept you into my home until you find one for yourself. I'm sure Opal wouldn't mind." "Opal? Is she your wife?" "Cat. I'm a traveling merchant. Don't really have time for a family." You fluff the pillow and Panther just stands there. "I'll bring you some food later. I don't have an answer for that offer yet. I'll let you know. Are you sure you can handle a woman that's being hunted with two children?" She smiles at you. "Yes, I promise." "Okay. Now, how will we get my family away from my parents? By sneaking out at night? Or just gun-hoing it, by in the middle of the day?

Strasbourg jihadists jailed for up to nine years
Issued on: Modified:
Seven men from Strasbourg that went to Syria between December 2013 and April 2014 have been sentenced to terms in prison ranging from six to nine years.
The heaviest sentence was reserved for Karim Mohamed-Aggad, the brother of the Bataclan suicide bomber Foued Mohamed-Aggad , who was sentenced to nine years in jail. All seven men will be placed on a register of terrorists.
Foued Mohamed-Aggad travelled with the same group to Syria but did not return home with them.
Nearly two years later he blew himself up at the Bataclan concert venue in Paris where 90 people were murdered.
The lawyer for Karim Mohamed-Aggad, Me Françoise Cotta, said that her clients will appeal the sentence.
The defendants, all friends from the eastern city of Strasbourg, and all deny having fought as jihadists while they were there.
They claimed their trip was meant to be dedicated to humanitarian aid work, but that they got caught in jihadi crosshairs and were forced to join "Islamic State.
Leaked documents
Controversially, prosecutors used as evidence in the trial a trove of alleged IS group documents leaked to British TV station Sky News in March, in which thousands of individuals with links to the terrorist organization are listed.
The move has been criticized by the defense lawyers.
The documents contain some 22,000 names of individuals linked to the IS group in 2013 and early 2014, the investigation source said.
An estimated 173 of those names are French citizens or residents of France, including several who have died in Syria and Iraq and two more of the Paris attackers – Samy Amimour and Omar Ismail Mostefai.
The documents, written in Arabic under the title "General Border Administration", log the name, blood type, date of birth, previous job, level of religious education and more of each new arrival to the IS group zone of control.
They are also listed as "combatant", "martyr" or "Inghimasi", a term referring to fighters who carry weapons as well as an explosive suicide vest.
The documents listed the seven men from Strasbourg as "combatants".

MY PLAIN JANE by Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton
Release Date: 6/26/18
You may think you know the story. After a miserable childhood, penniless orphan Jane Eyre embarks on a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There, she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester. Despite their significant age gap (!) and his uneven temper (!!), they fall in love—and, Reader, she marries him. (!!!)
Or does she?
Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Brontë, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights.
My thoughts on the book:
I really adore the Lady Janies' books. Their novels are always fun, hilarious takes on classical novels, and My Plain Jane was no exception. This book, like its predecessor, is one of those light-hearted stories that makes your world feel a little bit brighter, just by reading it. I enjoyed Hand, Meadows, and Ashton's take on Jane Eyre, and agreed with most of their quips about the novel. I wasn't a huge Jane Eyre fan due to my dislike of Rochester, but I have immense respect for both of the Brontë sisters. This book does Brontë's novel justice and pokes fun at some of the ridiculousness in the original story, too. I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun, unique read.
The characters in this book were amazing. Charlotte, Jane, and Alexander each told the story from their own perspectives, and each character was fully developed and so "human," that I couldn't help but relate to all of them in some way. The secondary characters were equally engaging, and Bran was a particular favorite of mine, as was Helen. I love how they painted Charlotte as a clever, creative, and mischievous teenager. In all of the portraits of the Brontës, they always looked so stern... I prefer to think of Charlotte as these authors created her - an adventurous spirit who appreciated everything in the world around her. I also enjoyed the idea that Charlotte and Jane were friends and that's how Jane Eyre came to be.
The writing was brilliant, of course. These authors are professionals, and it shows in every novel they create. They tempered humor with seriousness, and at times, sadness. I felt a range of emotions while reading this novel and found myself rooting for all of the characters who weren't "nefarious villains." This is a longer novel (when it comes to YA lit, over 450 pages), but I flew through it. The pacing is spot on and nothing feels rushed. The plot has a few holes that may be corrected before the final copy goes to print, but it's also clear (as it was in the last novel) that this is supposed to be a lighthearted story and some of the outlandish plot points are supposed to be accepted for the sake of the story.
Overall, I say give this book (and series) a try. If you're a fan of classical literature, or you just like people named Jane, then you'll love this book. Each novel can be read as a standalone book, too, though there was a cameo from Jane and G from the first book that I enjoyed. This novel is the perfect light summer read. I can't wait to see what these authors come up with next.

You've been given a lot of great advice about how to raise funds for charities. My advice is going to lean more toward how you can set up your non-profit for the best situation for success. After all, without proper planning, your ability to raise funds effectively will be greatly diminished.
Whether you are working for a non-profit or plan to start one yourself, your ultimate goal is for the program to have the strongest impact. In order to do that, there are certainly key areas that you want to focus on.
Key areas that impact the success of a non-profit:
- Policies and procedures that outline intent, investment, and administrative duties
- Establish grant practices and monitoring and reporting guidelines
- Contracts for funds that outline how those funds will be utilized
- Rules and regulations for day-to-day operation
- Ensuring that all activities fall within business-related taxation
While your question focuses on how to obtain funds, the bigger picture is ensuring that not only are funds properly used, but that the charity itself is set up in the best position to thrive long-term.
To gain a better understanding, it would be helpful to consult an attorney. LawTradesspecializes in connecting clients with the right lawyer for their needs. We focus on providing quality legal services in an affordable, transparent way. Check us out and contact us for a free consultation.

There is no fiesta without a circus. That is what many Peruvians think, especially people from Lima. The feasts of the national holidays are not only painted red and white. They are multicolor with more hews than a rainbow. The circuses raise their big tents and with them the illusions and hopes of children and adults.
They think of trapeze artists, magicians and their tricks. They cannot wait to laugh with clowns and their strange names like "Little Rocoto", "Whistle", "Tea Spoon", and more. They are the first to come out at the beginning of the circus and between each number to entertain the public. They keep people distracted while the lions are prepared, or the horses, elephants, monkeys, and dogs ready to perform their unusual tricks.
You can see contrasts in luxury, color, brilliance, music and elegance in the circuses of the capital of lima and the patched, stained tents of provinces or smaller cities. They mix with the poor landscape and dust of more marginal neighborhoods and towns, like those of Limas cones, its extremes. Still, they like the fancy tents, fill their role of bringing delight and joy to Peruvian families on the national holidays.
I used to see the circuses in my village of upland lima when I was a girl. They came with poor tents laced with holes, yet they brought novelty and delight to the town. The circuses with their clowns would parade through and raise our expectations, We knew that come the 28th of July, with its civic parade of school children, everyone would go to eat at the Bazaar>>> in Canta's Plaza and then to the circus.
We let our imaginations run freely with the amazing things we hoped to see and thought of the strange animals they brought, as well as the funny clowns. With delight we looked forward to the day it opened. Even if their were no exotic animals, just some dogs capable of strange tricks, who sometimes would obey and sometimes not, still there were always clowns. At the end of the show, we always left happy, content for having seen the best circus in the world.

This summer I have allowed a perfect stranger dig into my precious eyes, one after another. With a pair of pincers he took out first the left lens (the black of my eye, my window to the beautiful world and faces around) and after few weeks the right one. He implanted artificial ones. So that I can see better than the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood and have my driving license extended (I am just over 70) these two STAAR surgeries were a necessity.
Dr Floris Hageman, a very able and highly recommendable eye-surgeon with the OPSIS center in Amstelveen worked miracles and we parted with him stating that he warrants I will have no problem getting an extension of the driving license because I could now drive without glasses at all. But then came the surprise.
The medicaLadvisor of the Dutch CBR (an acronym for Centraal Bureau Rijvaardigheidsbewijzen) sent me letter demanding that I provide a document from an ophtalmologist that my eye-sight is OK. Tthis is what I wrote back:
Geachte d-r Nguyen,
You have decided to send me a "verwijzing naar een oogarts" because, it appears, you did not trust the report from my huisarts d-r H.L. Kieviet.
That decision of yours is symptomatic. Doctor Kieviet told me that he was reporting that I had two STAAR operations on both eyes this ummer in OPSIS oogartsenpraktijk.
For your information I was operated by Drs. Floris Hageman who specialized as oogarts in the VU Medisch Centrum. Zijn bijzondere aandachtsgebieden zijn hoornvliesproblematiek en de chirurgische behandeling van staar. Drs. Hageman is lid van het Nederlands Oogheelkundig Gezelschap, lid van de European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, lid van de Nederlandse Intraoculaire Implant Club en Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology.
If you are an ophthalmologist and an eye-surgeon you might well know d-r Floris Hageman.
I am puzzled why do you want me to pay other €80 (you needn't care that I am a so called "minima" on uitkering by the Rijk) for a new check of my eyes when I received one document on 8 September from the OPSIS of which you have a photocopy included. In my opinion you have not read well the documents sent to you 30 days ago. I have asked the director of the CBR for a speedy processing and explained why.
I think you have done your job poorly or with caprice because you have refused to trust d-r Kiewiet's recommendation last year and after a simple check up in OPSIS which was WITHOUT any surgery, you extended the license for a year incurring only costs but not doing a thing for the safety on the Dutch roads and highways. I doubt that you understand what I am telling you. I demand a five year extension of my driving license right now.
Since I feel myself mistreated by your whimsical decisions do rest assured that I will press for a full investigation in this matter but you cannot withhold the extension of my driving license.

Photo of the day: HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !
From Liberty Island…
Photo of the day: DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
Photo of the day: DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES – It's all in what you see…this moment caught yesterday on Ellis Island.
Photo of the day: MY ALL-AMERICAN LUNCH
Photo of the day: MY ALL-AMERICAN LUNCH – on Ellis Island Thursday afternoon.
Photo of the day: IT WAS 72° TODAY – THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
Photo of the day: THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING: . . . is this.
It was 72 degrees (22.2 Celsius) today in New York City! And what does that result in – one of the older 'regulars*' in Times Square, still wearing winter mittens and a pair of Uggs. Of course the Christmas velvet reindeer antlers with a Statue of Liberty crown to hold them in place. The pink wig matches his pink bike and matching pink streamers. Since it was so warm today that rest of his outfit was shed to reveal tiny polka dot bikini.
But . . . don't you just hate it – when you realize, after you've left the house, that your bikini top doesn't match your bikini bottom? I hate when that happens!
* We have several 'regulars' – the naked cowboy, the naked cowgirl, the naked Indian and the naked candy man.
Photo of the day: NUNS ON STATEN ISLAND FERRY – a few of my favorite things!
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Dreamy desserts with bright colored berries,
Nuns back and forth on Staten Island ferries,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things!
(I think this nun's name might be Maria)
Photo of the day: HANS CRUISES NEW YORK
Photo of the day: HANS CRUISES NEW YORK – I spent five days taking 35 Germans and one American on a total sightseeing tour of New York City! They saw the whole big apple from top (Harlem) to bottom (Battery Park/World Trade). The minuses: getting up at 4:30 am to travel from Queens so I can meet them at their hotel in Seacaucus, Jersey at 8:00am. Dropping them off in Jersey at night and that long, long cold mass transit bus ride back. The pluses: The wonderment in their eyes seeing Times Square for the first time. Taking the famed Circle Line Manhattan boat cruise at sunset. Their eagerness to walk along Fifth Avenue decorated for the holidays. The giddy Empire State building visit. The look in their eyes the next morning after they visited the places I had recommended. The hugs and German home made cookie I got at the airport as they sadly said goodbye…makes all worth while 🙂

Photo of the day: SEEN AT MY SUBWAY BOOTH ~ A LESSON IN MANNERS: "Excuse me please, can you, can I have, thank you have a nice day."
Photo of the day: GIVE ME THE LIBERTY TO GIVE A TOUR !
Photo of the day: GIVE ME THE LIBERTY TO TOUR ! – French muralist Veronique Barrilot painted this great mural as a (hopefully not) final statement at the 5 Pointz Graffiti & Mural Museum on Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, which is in danger of being torn down in favor of twin glass high rise towers. (See my earlier post). Her bold Liberty statue proclaims in French "Give Me The Liberty to Paint!".
For the past week I have been faced with the frustration of leading my European tourists who have come so far to see (shall we say) their Eiffel Tower, our Statue of Liberty – only to find signs posted that the despicable government has shut the symbol of freedom down and their tickets have been canceled. There we are left standing in Battery Park which is still mostly destroyed from hurricane Sandy. No park. No island. No Liberty.
I too join my friend Veronique in proclaiming "Give Me The Freedom – to Tour!"
Photo of the day: DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN, THE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY CONTINUES BY MURALIST VERONIQUE BARRILLOT
Photo of the day: DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN, THE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY CONTINUES BY MURALIST VERONIQUE BARRILLOT – Today the despicable Republicans have shut down the government. Tourists here in New York that have traveled half way around the world to go to Liberty Island are literally left out in the cold. The most upset are those who have crown visit tickets, those tickets have been ordered two to three months in advance and you arrive in New York = closed.
One of the places you can see Miss Liberty still fighting for her freedom is at the Graffiti Museum 5 Pointz on Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, right next to the 7 train Court Street Station. World famous 5 Pointz, as so many other treasures in New York, thanks to the greedy cancer that is the Bloomberg administration, is in great danger of being torn down in favor of twin mirror glass apartments.
To make her (perhaps final) statement, French muralist Veronique Barrillot has been given permission to paint a giant mural directly on the Jackson Avenue side for all to see. It is the Statue of Liberty, grimacing as she holds a paint pallet and paint brushes. Veronique is finishing the mural today, so I will not reveal the full image of it yet. Veronique states: "The homage I would like to pay to 5 Pointz is that of our common heritage and of our faith in the future and in liberty." As of this moment's government shut down, that immediate 'future' looks grim. The longest government shut down was also the most recent, from Dec. 16, 1995, through Jan. 5, 1996. That's 21 days. No Grand Canyon, no Yellowstone, no national zoos, no landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument – no Statue of Liberty.
Paint on Veronique, paint on ! Vive l'art!

Photo of the day: GATEWAY TO LIBERTY
Photo of the day: GATEWAY TO LIBERTY – When in Paris – you have to go to see the Eiffel Tower. When in New York – you have to go to see the Statue of Liberty. Every portion of the grounds are a treat for the eye! Whether you have crown access tickets (sold out till November 2013) or pedestal/museum access or just tour the grounds, it is an experience you won't forget.
If you have access passes to the pedestal you will see the lobby yields many treasures, such as this awe inspiring view from the second floor balcony.
The Statue of Liberty exhibit, which opened in July 1986 and is located on the second floor in the pedestal of the Statue, traces the history and symbolism of the Statue of Liberty through museum objects, photographs, prints, videos and oral histories. In addition to historical artifacts and descriptive text, full scale replicas of the Statue's face and foot are also on display. The main historical sections include: From Idea to Image, Fabricating the Statue, Stretching Technology, Fundraising in France, The Pedestal, Fundraising in America, and Complete at Last. The next area focuses on the symbolism of Liberty with sections titled Mother of Exiles, Becoming the Statue of America, Century of Souvenirs, The Image Exploited and The Statue in Popular Culture.

Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. game Super Mario Run is about to get a major update next week that will include new levels, new gameplay, and add Princess Daisy as a playable character. Super Mario Run was the first time that the Nintendo mascot had ventured away from the Nintendo hardware and on to smart phones, starting with the Apple iPhone. The game followed the enormous success of Pokémon Go, which was the first Nintendo game to make it on to the smart phone market and became an instant worldwide sensation that got players off of the couch and into the community to hunt for fictional monsters.
Super Mario Run was met with high anticipation and for the most part, the limited gameplay platform succeeded, but many would-be players balked at the $10 price tag for a game that one could beat in its entirety in a few hours. The game is available for free, but there's only a handful of levels that can be played for free. Though there have been some slight enhancements to the game since its initial release in December, nothing substantial has been added in months, but that's all about to change with a new update that is expected to breathe some much needed new life into the game.
Endgadget reports that Nintendo is going to overhaul the game in a major new update starting on September 29th. In addition, the game will be available for half price from the initial update through October 12th. Finally, the game is going to get some much needed variety and a new world. The new world, World Star, will introduce new gameplay elements, which will also include 9 new levels. There were medals that were added to the game earlier this year and now some more medals will arrive, but in rainbow form this time.
Player will also get the chance to unlock the playable Princess Daisy character after completing the new Remix 10 feature that will randomly "remix" parts of the original 10 levels for a fast, new gameplay experience. Once Princess Daisy is unlocked, players can take advantage of her double jump feature. To unlock the new world, players will have to have already completed levels 1 through 6. Another added feature that players had been asking about since the day the game was released was the ability to listen to your own music while playing. Your character will now where headphone when you're listening to your own music now.
As of now, the update is currently only listed for the Apple App store and not the Google Play store, so it is unclear if the update will be exclusive to the Apple devices for a period of time before updating the Google Play store. Super Mario Run made its debut in the Apple App store back in December and did not make it to Android devices until March. We'll have to wait and see if the 50% discount gets people to but the game with the newly added features.

Recently there was an 'urban knitting' thing at the Govett Brewster art gallery. A massive scarf was knitted, all in white wool, in a variety of textures. It was made by who-ever was passing and wanted to add a row...or two...or three.... It was then auctioned off. My ten year old, Ella, was very excited about adding her part to the scarf on a wet Sunday afternoon. We spent ages there while she added her row (80 stitches across).
The gallery also had an urban knitting/graffiti knitting afternoon, where people came and knitted around/over parking meters, fences, doorhandles, lamp-posts etc. That part of town is a pleasure to travel through at the moment...the knitted flowers in the wire fences and the small odd parts of knitting you find in unexpected places are just a delight and make my day!

Jose Mourinho has promised to control and respect himself when Manchester United take on his former club Chelsea on Saturday.
The United boss made the statement while addressing journalists at a press conference this afternoon.
According to him, if his side pulls off a shock win against his old club, Chelsea, he wouldn't rub it in their faces.
Mourinho is bound to get a hostile reception from supporters who like to tell him 'you're not special anymore', he said:
'For me, this is another game
'Would I celebrate like crazy my team's goal at Stamford Bridge or my team's victory at Stamford Bridge?
'I don't think so, I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supporters and stadium for many years.
'I would think which stadium I am in, which public is in the stands but apart from that it is another match for me.
'I want to do well for my team, players and support.
'I am 100% Manchester United tomorrow.'
Mourinho started his Premier League career in London when he was named manager of Chelsea in June 2004, before leaving early in the 2007/08 campaign. He later returned to the Blues on 3 June 2013 and left the club again by mutual consent in 2015.
In May 2016, Mourinho signed a three-year deal as manager of Manchester United.

ANALYSIS: The International Implications of the Kavanaugh Confirmation
NEW YORK, September 7 (C-Fam) International abortion groups are in a state of alarm because of the very real possibility the reconfiguration of the U.S. Supreme Court under U.S. President Donald Trump may lead to the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
"If confirmed, Kavanaugh would pose a grave threat to sexual and reproductive health and rights, both in the United States and around the world," lamented Shannon Kowalski, director of advocacy at the International Women's Health Coalition in a press release following the nomination on Judge Brett Kavanaugh on July 9.
Their concern is not overwrought. If Kavanaugh provides the long-awaited fifth vote to strike down Roe, it might significantly set back the movement for an international right to abortion.
When the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue of abortion again it will almost certainly entertain new claims about the existence of a human right to abortion under customary human rights law. And the Court may have to address these questions. Such claims have already been made by abortion industry giant Planned Parenthood in federal court, albeit without success.
The next time, abortion groups and their supporters will be able to repeat a long list of pronouncements by UN officials and bodies that have pressured countries to decriminalize and liberalize their abortion laws on the basis of UN human rights treaties, some of which the U.S. has ratified. They will also cite foreign high court precedents deferring to UN bodies on their interpretation of international human rights law, even though such UN bodies don't have authority to bind states. Then the U.S. Supreme Court will be asked to weigh on the issue—the most influential and emulated high court in the world.
If Kavanaugh finally provides the fifth vote to strike down Roe v. Wade, as voters who elected Trump expect, the Court will also necessarily deny the existence of an international right to abortion. And dissenting Justices will likely cite the interpretations of international bodies on the UN civil rights treaty, which the U.S. ratified in 1991.
But a ruling on international law will only be required if Kavanaugh has the stomach to overturn what he himself has described as "settled law."
While there have been sporadic attempts to challenge Roe v. Wade in State legislatures and the U.S. Congress, by design most State-based legislative efforts against abortion do not challenge Roe v. Wade itself, but merely attempt to chip away at it.
During the hearings this week, many of the Senators tried unsuccessfully to get Kavanagh to commit for or against Roe. Even Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) asked Kavanaugh if a right to abortion was "rooted in the history and tradition" of the United States. Kavanaugh evaded the question.
"I hope one day the court will sit down and think long and hard about the path they (Supreme Court) have charted," Graham said, urging Kavanaugh to reflect on the damage to democracy from judicial activism and "breathless" interpretations of the U.S. Constitution.
Senator Graham was powerless to do more.
"That's my parting thought to you, and then you'll decide what's best for the country," he conceded with what little breath he had left.

Investing in our National Health Service and tackling health inequalities.
- Significant investment in our health services and workforce
- Tackling health inequalities
The Health and Sport portfolio is responsible for over £13 billion of resource spend annually, and we have continued our record investment in our NHS as part of the commitment to increase health funding by at least £2 billion over the lifetime of this Parliament. This spend includes significant investment in research and development, digital infrastructure and capital investment, all of which contribute to provision of apprenticeship opportunities, high quality employment and applications of new technology.
High Quality Healthcare
Delivery of high quality and timely healthcare is essential, and ensures that our workers are able to remain economically active through improving health and reducing health inequalities. We are taking significant steps to close health and economic inequalities, and we are exploring financial and regulatory measures which have a universal and preventative effect in tackling the burden of disease. Achieving the current target of 4% sickness absence would generate an additional 500,000 working days annually.
NHS Scotland
We will promote recruitment from more deprived areas to NHS Scotland, which is the largest employer in Scotland, with just over 6% of the workforce. Including social care, this grows to 14% of the workforce, equivalent to 364,000 people. This employment is spread across the whole country, helping to sustain rural economies and generating local employment.
Investment in pay across the workforce is a key lever to attract and retain the skills required to deliver a sustainable service. This investment means that over 15% of the workforce are higher rate tax payers. We have awarded 147,000 NHS staff earning under £80,000 a minimum pay rise of 9% over the next three years and we are implementing the new GP contract.
The Digital Health and Care Strategy will be central in addressing the challenges and realising the opportunities we face in health and social care. Investment in our digital infrastructure is in excess of £200 million per annum.

So I've been away from the blog for a long time. We moved house, twice (kind of), in the past few weeks, then there was a (successful) week long fishing holiday and now I'm in America for work so I have had neither the time, not the ability, to blog. I'll get back to posting regularly next week, DV, but for now my only news is that my article 'James Durham and the Free Offer of the Gospel' has been accepted for publication in the Puritan Reformed Journal December edition (sadly it was not in early enough to make the June edition).
It's been a long time…

Looking forward to your article. Glad to hear your fishing trip went well. Another student and I are going to try to get Dr. Murray to go fishing with us sometime this summer.

Early Sunday morning, at 01:27 our time, the San Antonio Astronomical Association, an amateur astronomy group, succeeded in flashing the space station with a one-watt blue laser and a white spotlight as we passed overhead. This took a number of engineering calculations. Projected beam diameters (assuming the propagation of a Gaussian wave for the laser) and intensity at the target had to be calculated.
Tracking space station's path as it streaked across the sky was another challenge. I used email to communicate with Robert Reeves, one of the association's members. Considering that it takes a day, maybe more, for a simple exchange of messages (on space station we receive email drops two to three times a day), the whole event took weeks to plan.
