"I want to talk to you about time," Will Graham told a crowd in Johnson City, Tennessee, on Friday night, April 27. Preaching for the first time since Billy Graham's homegoing, Will spoke on a topic his grandfather had often focused on in the past.
"The Bible says your life is like a vapor," Will said. "We need to make good use of every minute, every second of our lives."
Somewhere in the crowd of thousands, a 49-year-old woman was captivated by what she heard. Brenda* had been raised in the church and was even serving as an usher at the Tri-Cities Celebration with Will Graham that night.
"I thought I'd surrendered my life to God until Friday night, and Will's message blew my socks off," she said. "I stood up at the very top of the stadium, tears streaming, feeling Jesus call me, and I was frozen in place. I felt because I was an usher I couldn't go down."
But Friday night was only the beginning of an unforgettable weekend for Brenda. On Saturday morning, she took her young grandsons to another Celebration event, KidzFest. Will, a father of three, shared the Gospel with the children, and one of Brenda's grandsons accepted Christ as his Savior.
On Saturday night, Brenda found herself back at the Freedom Hall Civic Center as Will preached about the Prodigal Son.
>>Watch a recap of Saturday night's event, featuring music from Crowder and a Gospel message from Will Graham.
"My friends, you can come back. God is waiting for you," he said. "It's time to come home."
This time, Brenda didn't stay up in the stands.
"The message about the Prodigal Son blew my socks off again, and again I heard myself called from word one," she said. "Then when Will gave the invitation, he said, 'God wants you to come back home, and you come now!' I practically ran."
Watch this short clip from the message that stirred Brenda's heart:
Even though Brenda went forward at the Celebration, it was through the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's online ministry, Search for Jesus (SFJ), that she shared her story.
Three nights after she went down to the stadium floor, she decided to visit SFJ's site, PeaceWithGod.net, to tell someone about the decision she had made. It was there that she clicked a button to chat live with a trained volunteer chat coach.
"I just want to share my life-changing story," she told the online coach.
During their conversation, Brenda shared that she is a recovering drug addict. Until last year, she had used drugs every day since she was a teenager. The addiction started after she was sexually abused by an uncle she once adored and trusted.
At the time of the Celebration, Brenda had been clean for a little over a year and was working on a 12-step plan through Narcotics Anonymous. She shared that she considered herself to be a fully surrendered follower of Christ, but Will's message made her realize she was holding back.
On Saturday night, "I totally surrendered my entire life to Christ with all my heart," Brenda shared.
After the event, she went home and prayed, turning everything over to God, including her past abuse, which had been haunting her most of her life. She asked God to take her painful past "and use it for the glory of His kingdom." Then she typed a short letter of forgiveness to her uncle and "let it go to God."
"I mailed it yesterday and wrote forgiveness on the outside," she said. "Since I wrote it I've received something I've heard about all my life but never really got it! The peace that surpasses ALL understanding. Praise God and thank you Jesus! I am a new person. Covered by Jesus' blood. Tell Will thanks so, so much and please share."

We've had a good look into the VGA side of things when it comes to Windows 7. However, while for many people that's the most important section, it's not all of it. Today we'll be having a closer look at how some of the other components in our system run under the new operating system due out in just a few months. Today we'll be looking at two core components; the memory and the CPU. Well be using a triple channel memory configuration with our Core i7 920 processor clocked at 4GHz. We'll be running our testbed through our standard memory benchmark line-up which does a good job of testing both the memory and CPU.

Spitfire Audio is a British company founded by two film composers looking to revolutionise sampling.Visit Spitfire Audio
Ableton's groove options offer a lot of control over how the swing is applied – from the Global Groove Amount to individual Base, Quantize and Timing settings for each groove template used in a particular project. Unfortunately that means it's a bit too much for us to go into detail about all the options here. Luckily Ableton's manual is also one of the best you'll find for any DAW (pages 149–154 inclusive are the key section in this case).
In some DAWs you'll get a visual display of the effect your swing setting has on the position of the notes. In Logic and Cubase's piano rolls, for instance, applying a swing quantisation will shift the notes on the grid (you can turn the swing off and the notes will all jump back to their original positions). In others (Ultrabeat, FL Studio's step sequencer), notes are delayed without their position on the grid changing. Ableton falls somewhere in the middle, shifting the timing of notes without moving them on the grid unless you hit the Commit button.
The important thing to remember here is that all of these approaches ultimately achieve the same end result: they all delay alternate steps in the sequencer (groove templates can also affect velocity but in this case we're interested solely in the timing).
Hung up on numbers?
One of the consequences of the different systems is that it can be confusing to try and convert from one to another (the formula is: to convert from Logic to Cubase, subtract 50 then multiply by 6; in the other direction, divide by 6 then add 50). But how useful is it to think about numbers and percentages when dealing with swing anyway? Usually, not very. Swing is about feel and groove, not percentages. There isn't a magic number which immediately makes your tracks groove and swing perfectly. Any given swing setting will usually be more obviously apparent at lower tempos since the space between beats makes it easier for the ear to pick up subtle timing variations.
Some producers have a go-to setting which they find works best for the style and tempo they typically produce in, but it's essential to bear in mind that any given swing percentage will have a subtly different impact on the sound of the track as a whole depending on its tempo, how busy the groove is, how long the decay on the drum sounds is, and so on. Finding the right swing setting for a particular pattern is entirely a case of trial and error, listening carefully in the context of the track as a whole and finding a groove which suits all the elements.
But how does it sound?
Of course, the most important question of all is how swing actually sounds in practice. Drums are the easiest way to demonstrate the effect. Let's start with the basis of a simple 118bpm house beat using 909 samples. We've programmed a four-to-the-floor kick, open hats on off-beats and claps on the 2 and 4:
Here's how it sounds:
One of the most common sources of confusion when using swing is to try and apply 16th-note swing to a pattern like this and wonder why nothing happens. When all the hits land on 8th-notes, we won't be able to hear any effect when applying 16th-note swing (the delayed steps don't have any hits on them).
We could use 8th-note swing, but it's quite unusual in dance music, although it can occasionally work:
Instead, let's add some more hits to the pattern:
It now sounds like this:
This allows us to hear the effect of applying 16th-note swing:
We can also see the result in the piano roll. In this case we've used the 16C swing setting. It's easy to see how every drum hit on an even-numbered 16th-note division has been delayed slightly:

Whilst former LACPP swimmers tearfully had to pack their bags and search for new clubs, I now read that Swim England now wishes to establish up to 4 new swim centres throughout England.
I remember the conversation well when I mentioned that the LACPP dissonance was in my mind a temporary thing and that not using the LAC as national swim centre is a sin.
I reckon somebody will apply for the LAC to be re-established as one of England's swimming centres. Application forms have been made available on the Swim England website as we speak.
This program aims to link swimming clubs and universities to help talented swimmers with the transition to performance swimming whilst continuing their university education. My best guess is that UEL might be in with a shout on this one again.
See in the picture two former members of the LACPP training program, Aimee Willmott and Jarvis Parkinson, both now swimming for the Commonwealth games. Whilst Jarvis moved to Loughborough, Aimee went to Scotland.
Back to the future guys.

1 GS106 Chemical Bonds and Chemistry of Water c:wou:gs106:sp2002:chem.wpd I. Introduction A. Hierarchy of chemical substances 1. atoms of elements - smallest particles of matter with unique physical and chemical properties, that still retain the properties of matter a. e.g. hydrogen, oxygen 2. Isotopes of elements a. isotopes of a given element are represented by atoms with the same atomic number, but different numbers of neutrons b. e.g Oxygen Isotopes (1) 18 O - less common variety of oxygen, 8 protons + 10 neutrons (2) 16 O- most common variety of oxygen, 8 protons + 8 neutrons 3. Ion - charged atomic particle a. atoms that gain or lose electrons, result in net positive or negative charge (1) the number of protons remains unchanged, but the number of electrons changes to result in net charge b. cation - positively charged atoms that lose electrons +1 (1) e.g. H hydrogen that has lost 1 electron c. anion - negatively charged atoms that gain electrons 16-2 (1) e.g. O Oxygen 16 ion that has gained 2 electrons, 8 protons d. Complex cations and anions - ions comprised of more than 1 element, "compound ions" - (1) e.g. HCO 3 bicarbonate anion Common Dissolved Ions Found in Natural Waters Na sodium Mg magnesium Ca calcium K potassium Sr strontium Cl chloride SO4 sulfate HCO3 bicarbonate Br bromide Fe iron Fe iron 4. molecules of 1 or more atoms of elements a. e.g. water molecule (H 2O) +1-2 b. e.g. 2 H + O = H compounds of elements bonded together a. physical and chemical properties of compounds differ from that of the constituent atoms of elements b. e.g. sodium chloride (NaCl) 6. mixtures of unbonded elements and compounds a. e.g. mixture of salt and sugar 57
2 B. Chemical Bonds 1. Atomic Forces that hold atoms together in molecules, or ions in crystals a. atoms form bonds with other atoms to form compounds b. all physical properties of chemical compounds are controlled by the atomic arrangement and bonding characteristics of the component atoms c. bonding between atoms is largely controlled by the electron configuration of the outermost (valence) electron shell (1) bond style is controlled by octet rule - tendency for atoms to attain a stable 8-electron configuration in the outermost valence shell (a) exception to octet rule = hydrogen - tendency towards 2 electrons in outermost shell (2) Note: for the Noble Gases on the far-right column of the periodic chart, the outmost valence shell is full, thus the noble gases are intert (non-reactive) +1-1 example of chemical bonding and octet rule: Na + Cl NaCl e.g. NaCl - Na has an atomic no. of 11, and thus contains 11 electrons around the nucleus (2 in first energy level, 8 in second energy level, and 1 in valence or outer energy level); Cl has an atomic no. of 17 and thus 17 electrons about its nucleus (2 in first level, 8 in second level, 7 in outer level). Thus Na needs to lose 1 electron from outer shell to obtain stable configuration, and Cl needs to gain 1 electron in outer shell to obtain stable configuration... tendancy for ionic bonding to form NaCl. 2. Lewis Electron Dot Models of Atoms a. electron dot models represent the configuration of the valence electron shell, or outermost shell (1) outershell electrons are filled 1 by 1 around the nucleus, and then paired to form a "square dance" set In-Class Exercise - Using the periodic chart, write the lewis electron dot models for the following atoms: K H C Si Ca F O 58
3 b. representing chemical reactions with dot models In-Class Exercise: write the electron dot models for H and Cl, show the dot-model reaction that froms hydrochloric acid (H + Cl HCl) Write the electron dot model reaction of Mg + O to form MgO Write the electron dot model reaction for 2 K + O to form K 0 2 Write a chemical reaction calcium + choride to form calcim chloride 3. Bond Types a. ionic bonds - transfer of electrons between atoms b. covalent bonds - sharing of electrons between atoms c. Metallic bonding - extreme case of electron sharing in which electrons move freely from atom to atom. Metallic bonding accounts fo the high electrical conductivity of metals and other special properties. C. Aqueous Solutions 1. water-based solutions - homogeneous mixture of two or more substances a. homogeneous - mixing throughout with individual ions separated apart from others 2. solute - the substance being dissolved 3. solvent - the substance doing the dissolving a. water is associated with a high degree of dissolving power 4. e.g. saline solution - adding salt to water a. water - dipolar molecule with + and - ends to the molecule b. a "sheath of hydration surrounds the sodium and chlorine atoms to force them apart electrostatically 59
4 + - NaCl + H O Na + Cl + H O 2 2 D. Measuring concentrations of solutes in aqueous solutions 1. concentration - measurement of the quantity of solute in a given quantity of solvent (or solution) a. Mass Percent = (mass solute / total mass solution) * 100% E.g. if 5 g of NaCl is dissolved in 95 g of water, what is the mass percent of sodium chloride in the solution? conversion factors for mass: 1 gram = 1000 mg, 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms (1) percent = "parts per hundred" (%) b. Parts per Thousand (o/oo) = grams of solute / liter of water Determine the concentration in ppt for a solution of 200 gram dissolved in 2 liters of water? Determine the concentration in ppt for a solution of 2000 mg dissolved in 1 liter of water? c. Parts per Million = milligrams of solute / liter of water Determine the concentration in ppm for a solution 20 mg of salt per liter of water? What about 20 kg of salt per liter of water? 60
5 d. Parts per Billion = micrograms of solute / liter of water Determine the concentration in ppb for a solution of 200 micrograms of salt dissolved in 3 liters of water? Determine the concentration in ppb for a solution 200 grams of salt dissolved in 4 liters of water? e. Molarity = amount of solute in moles / volume of solution in liters (1) Mole - the amount of a substance that contains exactly the number of elementary entities as there are in carbon-12 atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12 (a) Avagadro's number - a constant, the number of carbon-12 atoms contained in 12 g of carbon mol C = x 10 C atoms = 12.0 gram = the atomic mass of 1 atom of C mol O = x 10 O atoms = grams = the atomic mass of 1 atom of O 23 1 mol of NaCl = x 10 NaCl molecules = atomic mass of Na + atomic mass of Cl = = 58 grams = the formula weight of 1 molecule of NaCl Question: how many atoms are contained in 1 mole of chlorine-35? What is the mass of 1 mole of chlorine 35? 12 Question: if you had 24 grams of C, how many moles would you have? 16 Question: if you had 48 grams of O, how many moles would you have? Question: What is the molarity of a solution with 75 grams of Cl in 2 liters of water? Question: If you had 236 grams of NaCl, how many moles would you have? Question: What is the molarity of a solution with 236 grams of NaCl dissolved in 4.2 liters of water? 61
6 f. Molality = amount of solute in moles / mass of solvent (in kilograms) (1) molality differs from molarity in that it is based on mass of solvent, rather than volume, eliminates temperature variation effects on volume of liquids Conversion Factor: 1 liter of water = 1 kg mass of water question: what is the mass of 4.2 liters of water in kg? question: what is the molality of a solution with 236 grams of NaCl dissolved in 4.2 liters of water? II. Physical and Chemical Properties of Water A. Can exist in all three physical states: liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor) B. Transformation Processes related to energy input and entropy of water: heating of water, > atomic activity of the water molecules, i.e. > vibrational energy of water atoms. 1. ICE HEAT----- WATER HEAT WATER VAPOR (<32 degrees) (32-212) (>212 degrees F) C. Water is one of few earth substances that remains in a liquid state at the operating surface temperatures of the earth. 1. The liquidity of water makes it a dominant and pervasive component of all earth processes D. Water has High Heat Capacity- it has a capacity to absorb and hold energy with only a small amount of temperature rise. 1. important for water-based organisms to regulate temperature 2. produces the moderating effects of oceans on climate a. oceans = warm residual heat in winter (warms air temp.) b. oceans = slow rate of heating in summer (cools air temp.) E. Water expands in volume when it freezes/ becomes colder, in contrast to majority of substances (which contract when colder) 1. Result Density of ice < Density of water: thus ice floats on water 2. The crystal structure of ice is a hexagonal arrangement of water molecules a. creates increased volume and decrease in density 3. importance: lakes and oceans freeze from top down, life would not be possible if ice was more dense than water (i.e. freezing from bottom to top). 62
7 F. Water strongly influenced by the force of gravity, constantly driven downward, and can possess great erosive/ landscape carving force G. Water has property of high surface tension, ability to have strong molecular attractive forces (sticks to itself and electrostatically attracts ionic forms of elements) 1. surface tension - dipolar molecules and hydrogen bonds result in surface tension on top of water mass a. surface tension = intermolecular force b. water surface may support masses of materials 2. Capillarity- phenomena of water moving upward against the force of gravity, due to strong electrostatic adhesive forces, most notable in narrow, restricted pore spaces where surface to surface contact in high. H. Water acts as a "universal solvent" and can dissolve most any substance over time. Water + carbon dioxide forms a mild carbonic acid solution naturally in hydrosphere, as an acid can result in cationic exchange with positive ionic species, and result in chemical breakdown of substances. 1. Bipolar Water Molecule H O 2 2. Covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen (strong bond, via sharing of electrons) a. Hydrogen: 1 valence electron (atomic no. of 1) b. Oxygen: 6 valence electrons (atomic no. of 8) 3. Hydrogen bonds- given a mass of water molecules, the opposite ends will attract molecularly, forming weak hydrogen bonds a. hydrogen bond between molecules is weaker than covalent within molecules (1) water mass is fluid, but molecules are difficult to dissociate (2) the weak hydrogen bonds between molecules allow water flow 63
8 b. Frozen state - water mass is defined by solid, rigid crystalline structure (1) molecular vibrational energy decreases to the point where the hydrogen bonds lock the molecules into a crystalline structure (2) hexagonal crystal lattice with increased volume (3) freezing point at 32 F (0C) for pure water, but supercooling of water is possible in impurities are present (dissolved salt, suspended solids) c. Evaporation - molecular vibrational energy increases, breaks hydrogen bonds between molecules, individual molecules are liberated from water mass (1) evaporation at air-sea interface is at temp. < boiling point Overview of Physical Properties of Water A. Temperature-Density-Viscosity Relations Temp. Density Viscosity (C) (gm/cm3) (centipoises) Note: viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity (e.g. molasses), the more sticky and resistant to flow the fluid is. B. Weight Density of Water at 40 F, weight density = 62.4 lb/ft at 200 F, weight density = lb/ft C. Boiling Points of Water vs. Elevation (atmospheric pressure) (1 ft = 7.48 gallons) Elevation (ft) Boiling Point (F) ,
9 In-Class Exercise How many pounds will 500 gallons of water weigh? Show all of your math work. If someone were to give you 3000 pounds of water, how many gallons would you have? How many cubic feet? Show all of your math work. 65

July 5th: Peaches, Potatoes, Blueberries, Apricot Sorbet & Bullet-Shaped Cabbage/
Yep. It's peach season. Some folks may think of Georgia when they think of peaches, but we know better. Washington is the true peach capitol of the U.S. In fact, I met a Serbian man in Milwaukee several years ago, and he told me his harrowing tale of surviving a Nazi P.O.W. camp in the 1940s and climbing over the Alps into Italy to escape Yugoslavia in the 1950s to come to Wisconsin to reunite with his father and open a Serbian restaurant called Three Brothers. But when he heard I was from Washington, all he could think about was a juicy peach he had eaten here some 25 years earlier.
These peaches from Collins and Tiny's are the early varieties, meaning they are just the first wave of many this summer. Of course, the market is also full of apricots right now, and to celebrate the season, Empire Ice Cream is rolling out its Apricot Sorbet this week.
Just in time for summer barbecue and picnic season comes cabbage and potato season. These Early Jersey Wakefield cabbages from Oxbow (above) distinguish themselves with their bullet-like shape. They are a tasty, firm cabbage. And how about some new Yukon Gold potatoes from Alvarez.
Alvarez has nice, cured Mabton Sweet onions, too. Why not Walla Walla Sweets? Because a federal marketing order only allows onions grown with a very small area around Walla Walla to legally carry that moniker. So farmers have fun at the markets and name their onions grown from Walla Walla seeds after whatever town their from.
Sidhu Farms should have blueberries this week. And they will definitely have plenty of this cauliflower.
Of course, there is much, much more at the Market this week. Check the "What's Fresh Now!" pages in the right-hand menu for a complete listing. And come to the Market July 5th for abundant deliciousness, and most likely a few surprises.

Our Vision
We embrace a sovereign Abba, Father who is an infinitely good and lovely God, and Who also desires to be our Friend! How astonishing it is to experience the beauty of everlasting life NOW as our lives are "hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians. 3:1-3). The value of a life hidden with Christ is above all we can ask or think– because "in Christ are hidden all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). Because of God's grace, our deepest desires as a human being for significance, security and belonging, are satisfied . . . even as we experience union with God through Christ Jesus (Colossians 2:9-10). We are able to enjoy the radiant beauty of His presence that overflows with desire to declare His Glorious Presence to the world!
Our Mission
OUR MISSION is to encourage others to receive and enjoy the rich, inner life that flows from God–Who empowers the soul by the work of His Spirit . . . and overflows through us love and compassion for the world. We regularly welcome Christ Jesus to make His home in our hearts, as we surrender in trust to Him more and more. As our roots go down deep into the Father's astonishing love, we are able to join Him in His work in the world, according to our particular gifts and callings . . . by the power of the Holy Spirit. His mission is our mission, His plan is our plan, and we desire to follow step by step according to the perfect wisdom of His organic and constantly unfolding plan.
Our Values
OUR VALUES center on what gives God delight–as stated by Brennan Manning: "I firmly believe that the splendor of a human heart that trusts it is unconditionally loved gives God more delight than the most magnificent Cathedral ever erected or the most thunderous organ ever played." In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus shows us our heavenly Father who runs with complete joy and abandon towards a wayward son. Though the grown child returns home with deep shame for wasting all the goodness of his inheritance, the merciful Father speaks only of relief, belonging and longing to restore the exhausted and haggard child (Luke 15:11-32). DIVINE LOVE is like that. To the human heart, God's actions seem almost irrational. Yet, God our Father loves extravagantly and out of that love flows extravagant resources even for "ragamuffins" such as us (Ephesians 3: 14-19).

The MARGA concept "Parents stay in Business" offers you as an employer the optimal possibility to support this target group of young qualified parents.Read more
Employer Branding
The lack of talented skilled and qualified employees presents a challenge to all companies. A fact which propels Employer Branding into the focus of staff development. The aim of employer branding is to attract and retain qualified and motivated employees by differentiation. In order for them to remain with the company long-term, employees need to form emotional ties as well as being able to identify with the company.Read more

Within Change Management, we use business simulations to make participants control their own change processes. Within a team they manage their own virtual company and compete with other teams. They undergo pressure to change and the difficulties that can arise during the operational implementation.Read more

'Amahl and the Night Visitors' returns to the stage Nov. 16-18
October 31, 2018
By Kathryn Sohm '21
Celebrate the upcoming Christmas season with a tale that all ages can enjoy.
"Amahl and the Night Visitors" is a one-act opera performed in English with 23 life-sized puppets, brought to life by 17 puppeteers who are students at Saint John's Preparatory School.
The opera will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16 and Saturday, Nov. 17, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18 at the Stephen B. Humphrey Theater at Saint John's University. The production is part of the 2018-19 Fine Arts Series at the College of Saint Benedict and SJU.
This collaboration between Saint John's Preparatory School and the Fine Arts Series features a cast of live singers and musicians from the Prep School, including six vocal soloists, a chorus and a full orchestra.
Commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II and created by John and Lyndie Wright of the Little Angel Puppet Theatre of London in 1966, Saint John's Abbey acquired the puppets in 2008 through an exceptional turn of events. Liz Bussey-Fentress, a childhood friend of Br. Paul-Vincent Niebauer, OSB (they grew up together in Phillips, Wisconsin), worked with the London theater company and knew the company was looking to find a new home for the puppets.
Since their arrival in Minnesota, much care and attention has been showered on these unique pieces of art in order to restore the puppets.
The puppets add intrigue and dimension to this simple, yet powerful story of the Three Magi who stop for a night on their journey to Bethlehem and meet a special young boy named Amahl. What transpires is a precious, rarely heard tale that complements the traditional Christmas story.
"It's a great Christmas story, and it's a little fresher than 'A Christmas Carol'," Niebauer said.
In 2016, the Amahl Puppets turned 50 and celebrated by performing two shows at the Stephen B. Humphrey Theater at SJU with 60 live singers, musicians, and puppeteers (a third performance was cancelled by a snowstorm). Since then, the puppets have been "resting" and gearing up for the 2018 performance, Niebauer said.
The show brings students, faculty, community and Abbey members together to produce a Christmas gift to the audience. Each puppet has at least two puppeteers bringing them to life (Amahl has three puppeteers).
"Talk about a great ensemble cast," Niebauer said, noting that wide involvement.
The opera was composed by Italian-American composer and librettist Gian Carlo Menotti. Menotti was inspired by growing up in Italy, where they did not have a Santa Claus, and instead were given gifts from the Three Kings.
When the show premiered in 1951 it became the first opera to be exclusively composed for television and played on NBC every year until the original tape was lost. After that, it has been performed live many times and even broadcast on Australian television in 1957.
Tickets are $22 for adults, $19 for seniors, and $15 for CSB/SJU staff. Youth and students (with ID) get in for $10, and CSB/SJU student tickets are $10.
For tickets, call the Benedicta Arts Center Box Office at 320-363-5777 or order online.
The performance is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Leigh kept waiting
CELTIC target Leigh Griffiths was left on the Wolves bench last night and forced to sweat on his dream move to Parkhead.
As clubs down south were encouraged to make a loan move for Hoops hitman Amido Balde, Griffiths waited patiently for a deal to be struck that would allow him to travel north to talk terms and undergo a medical.
But Wolves have a private valuation of Griffiths and are refusing to show their hand, leaving Parkhead chiefs with the dilemma of not knowing what sum will trigger a breakthrough for the Scotland international.
While the stand-off continued, Molineux manager Kenny Jackett kept Griffiths as an unused substitute for last night's League One clash at Oldham.
Now the 23-year-old striker must play a waiting game to find out if Celtic will make Wolves an offer they can't refuse before Friday's transfer deadline.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon is still determined to get his man and, having spoken about the ex-Hibs star in glowing terms, is mindful of missing out on such a public target.
Balde could yet be a high-profile exit from Celtic before the transfer deadline. Clubs across the border have been alerted to his availability this month. The Hoops would prefer a loan move but a permanent move could not be ruled out.
Celtic won't be bidding for Charlton striker Yann Kermorgant, The 32-year-old has been deemed too old despite impressing scouts and assistant boss Garry Parker in recent weeks.
However, with a view to the future, the Bhoys could bid for Hartlepool midfielder Brad Walker. The 17-year-old has already made 22 appearances for the League Two club. Norwich and Stoke are also keen.
Meanwhile, Celtic have complained to the SPFL after their home Premiership game with St Johnstone was rearranged with little more than two weeks' notice.
The match was due to take place on Saturday, February 15, with a 3pm kick-off. However, following the latest round of fixtures selected for live TV, it was announced yesterday that the Parkhead game will now be played on Sunday, February 16 at 12.45pm.

Pardon The Interruption
It's hard to believe that winter is almost over. If it hasn't already happened in your neck of the woods, bass will be moving from their winter haunts towards shallow water areas to carry out their yearly spawning rituals. Turkeys create social hierarchies in an effort to claim females, and fill the woods with alien like sounds only exhibited for a few short months a year. Miss it, and life continues as if it never happened; Witness it, and cleanse the ego, learning just how miniscule we truly are in the course of creation. Spring is rebirth, spring is a gift, but most importantly spring is metaphor for perseverance.
A negative thought that regularly interrupts my thought process each year around this time is a sentiment that after the holidays and deer season expire, what is the point of winter? Here on the East Coast we regularly receive a good snow or two over the season. This winter has been particularly rough with the loss of family, a laptop computer, and car accident earlier this week rendering my Dodge tow vehicle totaled. In case you were curious I am in good health and only suffered some bruising and soreness. In the present moment I am feeling neither anger nor sadness over the events of the past month, but instead a renewed understanding of life's finiteness. Too often we live our lives on autopilot, aware only of the current scenario and our own tribulations, even dwelling on things that upon further reflection seem so miniscule in the grand picture. I believe maturity in many aspects is being more in touch with these realities, and focusing less on the mundane.
In as soon as a couple weeks, the ice and snow will have all but melted away. Water temperatures will rise, seeds will geminate anew, and wildlife will appear from landscape that seemed baron forever. Looking back on the past few months as if it were but a single second ticking away at the creators clock, we wake to biodiversity all around us. As if it were a reward for our patience, a thank you for weathering the storm, spring is a lesson in faith.
May we all practice mindfulness in our daily lives, focusing less on our own trials and more on the reassurance that our lives are richened when we overcome. Just as winter transitions to spring, the same holds true for pain and suffering. What is a story without plot, present time without a past, or an accomplishment without hard work? Aren't the most interesting people we know those which have overcome adversity in a quest for fulfilling lifelong dreams? In the end we always come to the same conclusion, "that wasn't so bad after all." Dust off the rods and reels my friends, spring is upon us!

My Approach to Setting My Fee
I know what others charge and I believe my fee is fair. My fees allow me to make a decent living if I continue to work hard. They are also designed to make representation affordable for families at most income levels throughout the state of Texas. Parole representation organizes and motivates clients and their family members. It clarifies and develops arguments within the Parole Guidelines. It can be a valuable service and it should be fairly priced so that quality is maintained. The Parole Board in many ways defines the general scope of what any representative can develop. And while features (free follow-ups, interview assurances, in person contact, etc.) may vary from representative to representative, the presentation each produces should be within the allowable scope defined by the Parole Guidelines and the approach used by each individual Board member.
My fee is a fixed fee that estimates how many hours the average case will take and what a reasonable wage is for that many hours of work. All cases receive my maximum individual attention and effort. In person contact with the prisoner is provided with each case and presentations are performed throughout the state. I feel my fee represents a very fair price considering the amount of work I put into each case, the extent of documents I research, the communication and contact I have with each Board member, my considerable experience in these types of cases, my reputation and prior achievements and the number of hours involved in each representation. I also take into account that I am able to see more than one prisoner per day when I travel and I am able to present more than one case per day when I visit a Board office. These factors greatly reduce my costs and I pass these savings on to you by maintaining a lower fixed fee. I feel by running my office my way, I am making a worthwhile service affordable. It is my passion and calling to commit myself to this work and this standard. I live and enjoy this work a great deal. And I welcome the chance to continue to serve others as much as I possibly can now and into the future.

On the Hill
"Summer is over!" was the proclamation several days ago, when the temperature dropped and the breezes swept away the lingering humidity. I delighted in the weight of a blanket on a cool night, knowing it would be a long time before there was anything approaching deep cold.
Then the heat came back. And the humidity. And, to me, worst of all, the bright sun.
Yesterday, I went to the cemetery and stopped and walked around, and wondered how long it had been since I had done more than drive through, getting out of the car only to retrieve a broken flag. Perhaps it was last in the waning days of the fall when so many of us stood on the hill and said "farewell" to our friend and colleague, Norris Pike.
Perhaps I remember that day, now, especially for the stark contrast to yesterday's weather, on the edge of too hot, in many places but breezy on the hill. Additionally, in the spot where I came to be standing, in a confusion of ancestors, layers of grandparents, and cousins in some way connected generations back, there were scraggly trees, with leaves enough to cast shadows of salvation.
Only the day before I had been in conversation with a visitor, a stranger, who had gone on the Historical Society's cemetery tour. It is a great event, I have been on it, but I am always surprised that people with no connection to this place are so fascinated by the stories told by the worn stones dotting the oldest part of the graveyard, the true hill overlooking the New Harbor.
The physical contours of the big cemetery have always been a source of fascination to me, with the oldest parts terraced before there was earth moving equipment, and the gravestones brought from the mainland before there was a real harbor much less a vehicle carrying boat.
There is an era represented both in the old-old section and the new part of the old (or old part of the new) cemetery, family plots clearly defined not only by corner markers but by curbing, or curbing and rails, tiny sub-burying grounds, islands created amidst a sea of stones. One, cut from the hillside, had a retaining wall and was reached by steps from a grassy path that was once the entrance road, curving around the hill up from the aptly named Cemetery Street, now Center Road.
Another of these mini-cemeteries, I told the visitor, was oddly paved with slabs of concrete that must have been flat and even once but had buckled over time. Yesterday, I pulled into what I call one of the family parking spaces, a patch of grass between the gravestones of my great and double great grandfathers, next to that funky in my mind treatment.
It is a childhood Sunday afternoon memory, going to the cemetery to cut grass and trim around the graves, when only those stones with the mysterious "perpetual care" designation, not the whole of the cemetery, were tended by the municipality.
It was, at best, baffling to a child with a single set of parents and one living grandparent, who were all these people and how were they connected to us? And what was that beautiful white stone with the handful of flowers carved on its face, set in the significant shadow of the monolith my great-great grandfather had erected to mark his resting place? It was my mainlander mother who pieced it all together for me; Alice Ophelia, the "Alice O" on the stone, was my great-grandmother.
Alice O
wife of
Cassius C Ball
and daughter of
William P and Wealthy
born October 5, 1954,
died Sept 13, 1884
though lost in sight
in memory dear
But where was my great-grandfather and, then, why did we not bother with his grave which was only on the other side of that grassy place where my dad parked his truck, and who the heck was that Lucretia with whom he shared a big, dull, headstone, surely all the fashion at the time, one with a darn yard in front of it at that? That then-mysterious "perpetual care" was evoked, with some vague "we'll tell you later" about Lucretia.
Alice, as her stone tells us, died young, her husband remarried; it could have been a simple story but instead it became a tangled tale which filtered down slowly through the generations.
Ironically, Alice's is both the least grand and the loveliest of the stones in that little family section. Maybe we should just move it to that yard Lucretia created in front of the monument to herself and her husband. . .
Oh, and that mini-cemetery of cement I was recalling only a couple of days ago, so sure it was still there, with its post-earthquake look?
A distant cousin, with relatives in that plot, said his great-uncle had had the cement slabs poured because he didn't want to mow the grass. I'd doubt the veracity of such a tall tale but for those memories of Sunday afternoons and the absolute knowledge of the mind-boggling "solutions" that were employed back then. "It's gone," I said, noting the grass was well established and — dreading the answer — asked "when did that happen?"
"Oh, I had it removed," he said, "twenty, twenty-five years ago."
And I wonder how there are stories enough in that cemetery to hold the attention of visitors.

I was sitting at my desk going through some reports when my cell phone rang. When I looked at the Caller ID, I saw that it was my upstairs neighbor. I figured he was calling to chat about the latest design fashions and how we were planning to decorate our decks for summer. But alas, it was not to be a social call.
"The fire alarm in your house is going off!" Words you NEVER want to hear, that's for sure. The scary thing though was that The Roommate had the day off. I tried calling the house as I was running out of my office and throwing on my coat, no answer. Visions of him laying on the bed with his tongue hanging out and x's across his eyes as he was overcome with noxious fumes were flying through my head. I dialed his cellphone and finally after 4 rings he picked up - "Where are you? The house is on fire!"
He had just left the house 15 minutes earlier to take the dog on a walk to the beach - at least he was safe and hadn't succumbed! I told him I was on my way home - fortunately I only work 2 miles from home and was able to get there rather quickly.
When I got home, it was discovered to be a false alarm with the alarm still blaring! After I knew that all was well, I walked back out the door and headed to my car that was parked illegally in the alley (I didn't feel like pulling into the garage), as I was driving down the alley I hear thump thump thump thump.
WTF! A flat tire, G*d D*amn It! There's a gas station right around the corner so I thought, I'll pull over there, air it up and drop it off at Sears (which is right next to work). Only when I got to the gas pump, the tire wouldn't take air - AT ALL!
G*d D*amn It!
I'm an expert at changing tires, so I pulled everything out, jacked up (not off) the car, loosened the lug nuts and was ready to do the tire exchange when the tire wouldn't come off of the axel (or whatever it's connected to). I tried and tried and tried, but I could not get that damn tire off! I tugged and tugged and tugged but it was securely connected to the drive shaft. As i was tugging I reached behind the wheel to get some leverage and there was a HUGE gash (about 6 inches long) along the inside of the tire. Ah, that's why it won't hold air!
G*d D*amn It!
So I put the lug nuts back on and drove back to the house on my rapidly losing support tire. I pulled into the garage and went to the house where my roommate gave me a quizzical look of "what are you doing here and where have you been for the last 15 minutes."
All I said was "Tire, flat, couldn't change, hands dirty, pointy toed shoes, gotta go back to work."
I quickly washed my hands and ran out the door setting on a course for the closest bus stop! After a quick 20 minute ride and a seemingly seamless transfer I was back in the office.
Everyone was glad that my house hadn't burned to the ground and they got a chuckle when I said I tried to change the tire. I looked at them and said "Hey, I may video tape myself lip synching to Miley Cyrus songs, but I CAN change a tire - ya know!"
So how was your Friday?

For a while I've been posting here daily. Weekdays have been about web development and other geeky stuff. Saturdays, I've been posting about personal goings on. Sundays have been reflections on faith, church and other metaphysics. All this with the occasional off-topic post.
As of this week, I'm moving the weekend posts to their own sites. Future Saturday Posts From Home will be on CasparWorld.net. Sunday's reflections will be on Pastor On the Edge. Weekdays, the geeky stuff continues right here.
